Kevier Fontanez yea. this is actually one of my favorite Opie and Anthony interviews for that reason. If Patrice is getting into the interview it's a good interview.
I've struggled with addiction for 10 years. Anyone who says "He deserved to die" or "he made bad choices" simply doesn't understand the illness of addiction. It isn't a choice. It's a sickness. No one would willingly torture themselves with substances for fun. They simply can't win. Show empathy.
Hey its the 27 styles of rap guy. Whats up Mac? I know this is a 9 year old comment but who ever said Greg "deserved to die"? He's beloved by everyone. I swear people make up imaginary antagonists so they can feel like they're standing up to wrong-doers when they share common feelings. He absolutely made bad choices though. Pretending that he didn't is a disservice to anybody struggling with addiction.
Didn’t think it was possible to respect Patrice anymore but after listening to this clip and hear his genuine love and concern he had for Greg it shows how real he was . RIP both , sorely missed two comedy greats
55:58 patrice disowning ant for being a creep is the funniest shit I've ever heard "you should be put to sleep you piece of shit, I won't stand for this!" 😂😂
yeah Ant's creepiness is too much for me and his hatred for black people are enraging. it was tolerable in this ambiance of comedians, but his podcast alone is such a bore.
Listen to Greg Giraldo from 40:07 to 40:55. That's as honest and heartfelt as it gets. This guy had a very good heart and I hope he's with God & content right now.
Sigh. And people think Greg didn't kill himself? Listen to what he's saying in this: He breaks sobriety, then he gets a ton of shame over it and thinks his kids'd be better off without him, et cetera. Sad and fucking awful, I miss that guy so much.
I worked as a waiter at the Comedy Cellar in the early 2000's. It was a golden age around there: Jim Norton, Giraldo, Patrice, Colin Quinn, etc hanging around there literally every night. Just ruthlessly ripping on each other constantly.... hilarious.
it's heartbreaking hearing the genuine concern from Patrice and knowing that both him and Greg would leave us so soon. Jimmy also seemed to really care. I imagine they talked with Greg after but damn it's tough to listen to. he was obviously on something
I totally relate to Greg. I feel like I have done the same exact shit, felt the same exact way, and used the same excuses. I saw him a week before he passed. Such a funny dude.
"I truly find being around nature to be VERY therapeutic and soothing" Yeah, even if it's just a semi-muddy edge of a creek, sitting and messing around with sand and stones and sticks, hearing birds you didn't expect to hear or seeing a deer or whatever, _where you can't get anything responsible or foolish done_, can really put you in a good frame of mind, with or without a friend. Of course for most of human history our ancestors spent tons of time outdoors, so that's how the brain is made, what the brain expects. And eat rice and chicken and greens and bananas and stuff like that, not artificial sweeteners etc. so much. Drink water. Your body is a machine that doesn't need milk or Pepsi or beer to run at all, it needs water, and the brain is part of that machine. Libraries can be cool because they're (usually) quiet. If you read the book outdoors you're getting more oxygen, though. (And sunlight's good for your brain.) Sports usually make you feel good without you really noticing it while it's happening, even if it's horse (exercise releases endorphins). Going to a fish store and looking at all the fish for an hour is free. Playing chess with someone, get that mind focused some of the time each day. In general, don't try to fix what you can't fix. Not gonna happen. Who cares if we sound "corny" -- let's face it, we'd like to have enough peace of mind to not die like Greg and Patrice did.
Joseph Scott I was gonna say something very similar if he'd had a reply button. I've never felt better then when I'm out camping for a weekend. I think its a major part of why I have been so depressed lately because I have health issues which have prevented me from truly enjoying camping for many a year and living in suburban environments drains the life and soul out of me. We're not meant to live like this, we're meant to be wild and free and unfettered by jobs and mortgage payments and societal constraints. We're animals not "Civilized Beings". Nothing wrong with that. Animal do what needs to be done and nothing else, "Civilized Beings" do whatever they need to get ahead of everyone else and fuck everyone over in the process. The only depressed animals are the ones that have been fucked over by "Civilized Beings". Trust me, if I didn't have to look after her Mum in her twilight years I'd run off into the forest to live so I could regain some of my humanity.
George Flaxman Even though camping is better, I think you can find real nature in the suburbs if you look hard enough. We're not meant to mow a lawn so nature looks more like a carpet, we're meant to mess around in long grass trying to find whatever and get the blood flowing (for our ancestors, it would be to find a lizard to spear or something like that). Hang in there George -- my mom's dead for 16 years now, and that isn't so great either.
+Joseph Scott hey man, I feel for you. I realised when you replied how selfish my comment sounded. I just want to clarify that I have no resentment about looking after Mum, I just have resentment to the environment around me. That being said sir, my sincerest condolences. There have many times over recent years where I would have left it all (life) if not for my mother. I can't imagine what awaits me after Mum passes so my heart goes out to you man. I know it's been awhile but I doubt that pain ever fades. Thanks for your words man. I didn't mean for it to end up being a vaguely therapeutic thread, more a rant against our enforced social structures. I appreciate the sentiments though. Truly.
George Flaxman "I feel for you" Thanks. Don't be so hard on yourself, I didn't think your comment sounded selfish, just honest. (I think being real is the epitome of cool.) Life is a lot of work and it's hard. One way or another. But a lot of it is good.
Joseph Scott You have a good soul sir. Thanks for the kind words and I hope all goes well for you in your world. I'm pretty sure it will though because you have a good attitude about life.
How phucking weird is it we're listening to a recording of one dead comedian(Patrice) and another dead comedian(Greg) talking to each other like it was today alive and well. With today's technology you can literally become infamous and live forever through your comedy. RIP
Greg Giraldo revealed here that he was not afraid of dying. He saw that life is infinite and that death is part of that infinity. Douglas Adams hinted to this in his brilliant works as well. If you know something to be true without any doubt, it is.
Damn guys check this out its his wiki. "Giraldo was admitted to Harvard Law School after achieving a near perfect score on his Law School Admission Test (LSAT), scoring in the 99th percentile of students taking the test.[9] He earned a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School in 1990."
Man... I related to this guy so much. I'm Latino. First in my family to go to college. Then law school. Apparently, "supposed to save the world," and "I always feel weird... always outside guy... always on the peripheral." I've also struggled with my demons as well in the past. R.I.P. Greg!!!!
The first time I heard this I didn't think much of it... Now having seen Greg in his glory on CQs Tough Crowd to what he was on this hit me a lot harder. Holy fuck, RIP. This guy was a genius from what I saw on TC, really funny but definitely the "smart one" among the comics.
When Patrice said, "I don't want to be his radio friend, I want to be his real friend," my eyes started tearing up. I wasn't feeling all too happy to begin with, but this sealed the deal. And I'm so glad I heard it; it's a very important clip. When you're used to such sarcastic, funny things from sarcastic, funny people, this can really shut you up and make you think... Fucking Greg, man...
It's dark as fuck when your honest about getting drunk and why you do it. Jimmy knows about the door opposite of happy drunk. That door is a splinter in your mind that skips drugs and more alcohol and goes for razors, needles and knives. I never self mutilated until I was drinking heavily for almost two years. Fuck man nostalgia. I miss everclear.
Greg giraldo isn’t only my favourite comedian ever . He’s the guy my whole life I wanted to be friends with and have In my life . My life would have been 1 million percent better with him In it
God Damn, Giraldo manages to finish about 1/4 of his sentences. And talking that fast?!? He is either jacked up on some kind of speed or incredibly manic here. So sad, this guy was amazing.
I sympathize so much. It’s weird. My dad was from the previous generation. He was the first in his family to go to college. Then completed law school and quickly made friends from all the other small town lawyers where we moved to when he got recruited so to speak by an older lawyer out of school. He became an alcoholic. It broke up our family. I never stopped loving him nor him me. He put together several long 8 and 9 year stretches of sobriety, but it could always return. I learned better than to try talking to him when he was full fledged drinking, but once I asked him why he would take that first drink knowing where it would lead and he told me I wouldn’t understand. Yea, probably I wouldn’t, but I wish he would’ve tried. Conversely, I am of Patrice’s body type and inherited diabetes from my mom’s side of the family. I do the best I can just like everyone had to. So sad we lost such greats. Greg had friends who cared, but it was out of their hands.
The more I listen the more realize it's all about just being comfortable and confident with your self and in your own skin. Just find something positive to do that makes you a better you, instead of HIDING behind drugs and alcohol
EBZIE ThaProducer A lot of people don't have that, or don't know what that is for them, and is why/how they end up using in the first place. Or like in Greg's case, think they may lose that positive thing without the help of being fucked up- which is the disease at it's finest.
Doyle Hodges IT IS THAT EASY!!!! Ppl Have to stop believing that ONE SINGLE THING DEFINES YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE SMH. THERES PLENTY OF THINGS WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE OURSELVES OR RLTNSHPS WITH OTHERS. NO ONES PERFECT
Patrice and Giraldo throw the hardest verbal shots at each other but you can hear Patrice is wanting to just spend time with his friend. I think jay was right, giraldo is high because he is talking sooo fast.
When you listen to him talk about having an experience and seeing the end coming soon. That is some pretty crazy and scary shit. Tough stuff to hear knowing his forth coming fate. That gives me chills.
13!!!!!!! I'm 18 and it wouldn't even cross my mind. Jesus. Way to show your true colors Ant. This episode reinforced everything I thought about Opie and Anthony and gave me a new perspective of Patrice and Giraldo. I would have never guessed Giraldo was doing so much drugs and Patrice gained a lot of respect from me during the end of the show. Very interesting episode.
I was fortunate to have caught GG live once in Philadelphia where I lived at the time. True to form, he made sure that he was well-lubricated for his time on stage. I witnessed Greg flagging down the servers for his drink order before he went on that night. And yes--Greg was hilarious that night, as always.
You're right. This was great, but sad listening to. They're all smart guys but Giraldo was ultra-intelligent, and Patrice had a big heart and sounds easily the most empathetic towards him. RIP to the both of them, a real loss.
i only wanted to do opiates after getting surgery for the second time and realizing how good the anesthesia felt for the 10 seconds before you fall asleep, and then the high after you wake up is pretty good too but that 10 seconds just feels amazing lol
I was hanging with some comics after a show was cancelled (the club forgot to advertise their new comedy night) and Giraldo's name came up. Their take was that knowing the way he lived they were surprised he didn't die sooner. Sad, he was at the top of my list of people to see, never got to see him. Norm MacDonald either and I had a ticket to see him in October but he died a couple of weeks before.
Everyone thinks comedians are the happiest people in the world, but here's the truth: A good comedian looks at the world and thinks its a funny place, a great comedian looks at the world and knows it isn't. Greg was a genius, very educated, charismatic, but just couldn't deal with his issue's sober. Too lose him and Patrice so close together is heartbreaking. For some reason, comedians, musicians and wrestlers die way faster then they should, take care of yourself's fella's!
Great show, as an addict trying to stay clean, this is really good. Don't like how they made it about Anthony/ he made it about himself but I felt, and I'm sure Greg did too, that those guys just didn't understand addiction. Anthony can stop and Wat not, addicts just can't
Приколы
there was genuine concern from patrice towards greg in this interview.
Kevier Fontanez yea. this is actually one of my favorite Opie and Anthony interviews for that reason. If Patrice is getting into the interview it's a good interview.
Neil Hoffmann agreed.
you can really tell because he gets quiet for a while towards the end.... then tries to help him finish strong... miss these guys
Lotta good it did him, eh?
Yes you can hear it in his voice.
Man, you could tell how much of a good guy Patrice was here, he sounded legitimately worried for Greg
The way Patrice says, "it happens" at 4:40 - very caring
🦍
I've struggled with addiction for 10 years. Anyone who says "He deserved to die" or "he made bad choices" simply doesn't understand the illness of addiction. It isn't a choice. It's a sickness. No one would willingly torture themselves with substances for fun. They simply can't win. Show empathy.

Taking a brave stand. Addiction is a illness? Did you know the sky is blue too.
Two of the most brilliant comedic minds of the last 30 years at least and they're gone. The comedy world is a fucked up place.
Comedy died a long time ago my dude
You have no idea
Rest In Peace Greg and Patrice. You can tell Greg sounded rattled and Patrice wanted to help him.
The comedy world is what kept them alive
The only time Patrice isn't hilarious. You can hear the concern in his voice.

Listen to Greg Giraldo from 40:07 to 40:55. That's as honest and heartfelt as it gets. This guy had a very good heart and I hope he's with God & content right now.
I re listened this part and I felt his despair more clearly. He felt as an outsider his whole life and he needed a drug to feel normal
Woah this hits to close to home it actually brand a tear to my eye :(
I hope he is in an eternal strip club with constantly changing dance lineup, wearing Umbros and a smile
Sigh. And people think Greg didn't kill himself? Listen to what he's saying in this: He breaks sobriety, then he gets a ton of shame over it and thinks his kids'd be better off without him, et cetera. Sad and fucking awful, I miss that guy so much.
Rip greg and patrice
And Mohr's humor
Saikotic you can RIP something that was never there.

So untrue
Yeah me too
Should write a book.
7:38 "That could have been the thing he would have said, that was gunna save my life" Greg Giraldo

Spooky very spooky

That is a common statement said in AA

Greg Giraldo and Patrice O'Neal, I find myself always replaying the Comedy Central Roasts and anything they did on O&A and Stand Up.
Bro I'm in the same boat , I miss them both
I totally relate to Greg. I feel like I have done the same exact shit, felt the same exact way, and used the same excuses. I saw him a week before he passed. Such a funny dude.
Aww.. Lucky you. I never saw the bastard live.
Yeah I only saw him dead....
Your a lucky dude I wish I seen him
You still alive bruh?
This is now classic material. Two of the greatest of all time in one session.
Both underrated AF RIP
One of the few (if not only) celebrity deaths that affected me deeply. Still so sad to think of the comedy community without Greg Giraldo.
It’s fucked up how relatable these people really are, like damn man RIP Greg and Patrice
This makes me happy and sad 😢
RIP Greg and Patrice
When Greg said he had kids my heart fucking sank. I did not know that about him.
Alcohol is the Gateway Drug, Not Marijuana 😋
I miss Greg... RIP he was one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of listening to

Eerie
RIP Gregg & Patrice. Thanks for the laughs 🕊🙏
Patrice is really sweet about Greg's addiction.
This is an amazing piece of audio.
FUCK..when greg talks about never feeling normal ever....even at that moment...i get that so fucking much...
DJFP Some of us actually aren't normal ever. It's not the end of the world. Normal people are kind of boring.
listen to the love in patrice's voice.
Man greg was telling everyone he was done and no one listened... I listen to these interviews to hear Greg and they depress me
What a terrible loss. Greg was a genius, one of the funniest dudes I ever heard.

Fantastic how we were hearing an interesting story from the great Greg Giraldo only to be interrupted by a 🎯 story!! Way to go guys!! 👏🏽👏🏾
Amazing segment. I wanted something to listen to for a few minutes, and ended up listening to the whole thing.
RIP Greg
Greg was in a different league in terms of pure intelligence. Genius level.
This is crazy sad listening to Greg knowing what we know now.
8:03-8:37 LSD showed him exactly how he would die but he preferred to continue drinking. If you have a problem please get help.

Wow... I did not expect this when I turned this on. I don't even know what to say.

Just started listening and I already agree. ):
2 GREAT comics, taken far to early from us...

what a great vision: drug and drinking is like medicine. I do it to fix something not just for having fun. RIP Greg

A relatable piece of demise to an individual psyche.
This is haunting knowing what was ahead. It was almost scary, and this was real...too real.
Around this time alot was changing, to only think we lost Patrice a year after Greg
@@andremotivation6561 very sad, Patrice's very concerned for Greg, despite knowing they are on the air.

Everyone thinks comedians are the happiest people in the world, but here's the truth: A good comedian looks at the world and thinks its a funny place, a great comedian looks at the world and knows it isn't. Greg was a genius, very educated, charismatic, but just couldn't deal with his issue's sober. Too lose him and Patrice so close together is heartbreaking. For some reason, comedians, musicians and wrestlers die way faster then they should, take care of yourself's fella's!
Great show, as an addict trying to stay clean, this is really good. Don't like how they made it about Anthony/ he made it about himself but I felt, and I'm sure Greg did too, that those guys just didn't understand addiction. Anthony can stop and Wat not, addicts just can't
Thanks.
