He needed a one Dad figure and became one Dad figure for all of us.

it's Oct 13, 2020 and the world still misses Patrice.

I’m standing here crying whilst simultaneously meal prepping realizing that in 2020, at the age of 32, I just realized what it meant to have a father figure in your life because I never had that. Sigh!

I come to this interview every 6 months, relistening carefully to what Patrice is saying. He's at his most authentic here, and his regrets are transparent with Marc; the story of unjustful charge and prison time, how it affected his career (he couldn't go to Canada because of this...), how it changed his worldview, his relations with women. He said multiple times that he was a terrible misogynist before meeting Von, which is logical. For years, the man just couldn't reconciliate himself with what happened; he transformed his bitterness into comedy, and he did almost well. All these opportunities that he missed because of his integrity, the story of his mother still taking care of him, and him, in front of her, realizing that he failed her. That one makes me, a grown ass man, cry every time. Patrice should have become big, bigger than those wannabee dating podcasts like Fresh and Fit, Pearly Things, or Whatever. His takes were original, fresh, precious. Rest in Peace, Patrice; you became the father that you never had, and not for one, but for a legion, not once, but for now many years.

I don't think I'll ever get over the death of Patrice O'Neal.

It amazes when people can’t see that this is the best comedian to ever do it. He effortlessly gives you comedy and philosophy in a conversation. Better than Chappelle or Carlin ever did.

the greatest comedic philosopher of all times. could have been…should have been an american icon. i love the man. i never knew him but he ranks high in the people who make my life better.

If patrice was still alive, he could live just off a podcast. This voice is something we need so today.

This is amazing. Maron helps summarize his ideas... No Opie in the way fucking everything up etc

Yes it's sad Patrice died so young. Yes we need him more than ever. But it's our jobs now to carry on his message and legacy. RIP to the general

Literally the ONLY celebrity I felt depressed and sad about passing away, and I think a lot of people agree with me!

"I'm realizin' shit too late.." and all the talk about his dad and caring for the people around him got me really emotional. Gave me chills actually. I never heard this side of him before, and I relate completely.. Thanks for puttin this up

"Is that a girl in a trash can what you doin in that trash can?" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣

He may not have had kids, but he taught me things my dad never did. God bless him and his ppl. I love you Patrice.

The most brilliant, insightful, perspective on race of any modern philosophical examination of the topic. He absolutely nailed the race issue, with perfection.

The part about the fish and the boat. Patrice is absolutely incredible.

His truth gives me goosebumps. I fucking love Patrice.

This has to be Patrice best interview ever! Dude was out of this world and I miss him every single day and so grateful of what I’ve learnt from him

Respect to Maron, for recognizing that the world needed this.
