These conversations between Ant and Patrice are the most honest discussions of race I have heard in any public media.

So glad Opie shut up and let Patrice and Ant go back and forth. Rare excellence by Opie, gotta give him props

I've never heard someone so upset about a room full of black children being read to. I miss Ant.

“Just because you say it with passion doesn’t mean it’s true…”

"We don't read! We don't read!" That shit is hilarious

I miss Ant and Patrice on the O and A show. Doesn't matter who you agree with. These honest arguments about race are highly entertaining. And there's no hate between the two of them, no matter how heated it gets.

This is such a rarity. These days we can’t even have a conversation like this without someone getting “cancelled”

Patrice saying the left was the white version of Uncle Tom was something I never thought about in those words before but makes complete sense. It matches up almost as a 1 to 1. Genuinely one of the greatest comedians and social commentators to have lived. Rest in peace

Patrice was incredibly insightful, I miss his comedy!

I gotta give Patrice big props in this clip. More truth from him then anyone else i here( except little Jimmy who tells to much. lol) God bless the guy. Wish he was still around. R.I.P. big guy.

I love how Patrice & Ant can have a semi heated argument & then laugh about it in the same breath.

It's so hilarious whenever Ant gets in his little racist rants, goes a little too far and gets flagged up by Patrice.

This is a great conversation. No punches held. Both listening to each other even though they disagree. rip P

As a Scot I have to change my accent any time I step outside of Glasgow. I feel phony everytime but if I don't, no-one can understand me.

This is Patrice O'Neal's greatest half-hour. RIP you legend.

This is by far one of the best REAL debates/conversations I've heard in a long time. There are some funny stuff in here but good points are very well made.

The main reason the conversation worked is because no one got personal and if it did they didn’t take it hard. Grown men talking kinda crazy but Patrice kept people grounded

NOBODY gives a shit what the callers have to say.

Trying to explain code switching to white people back then had to be frustrating.

Thank you for highlighting this.

Ant finally admits that he's not going to vote for Obama because he's black and then quotes Dr. King speech, don't judge a man by the color of his skin but by the content of his character...Ok

Patrice would have bridge the race gap between all races through his insightfulness, hillarity and flat out unapologetic truth, DAM. Smh. Slightly tearing.

Lol I googled it and George Bush was reading to black kids. I agreed with Patrice too ugh

It’s such a great convo , would never would happen today

This is great, the only way to uncover racial tension is to have an honest discussion, can't just dismiss someone for their opinion, anything is on the table, nothing can't be talked about.

obama: "yo anthony, gimmie 50 cent...."

Patrice just dishing out knowledge and perspective. As an agnostic person, god bless this man and everything he stood for.

“Why don’t you shut up Africans! And then she launches a missile.” Hahaha Patrice is without a doubt the GOAT

Ant's racism is always ridiculously funny.

Patrice was so right about how white people and black people know R. Kelly. White people know R. Kelly by "I believe I can fly" Black people know R. Kelly by "boohooohoooty"

I wish we had a black president like James Evans from Good Times.

This is too funny I love the conversation

For those wondering the friend who told Patrice that white people want black people to be polite was Bobby kelly

Ant cannot harp on and on about how black and white culture are different and then expect Oprah to give the same speech to different audiences. People sound differently at work versus shooting the shit with friends. So obviously you are going to sound different depending on how and who you're appealing to.

The dude on the little bike with the big wheel in the front with the moustache that curls LMAO

When Patrice talked about what white people buy I lost my shit! hahaha. Fucking life size superman model for 5g's

Patrice is right! 1958 I was registered for Kindergarten in Connecticut under the demographic..Italian American. Now, I am white. What happened?

Im from Sarasota, FL where W. was reading during 9/11. He was at Booker elementry which is a predominantly black school.

Wow. Patrice mentioning Martha Stewart not needing hip hop when years later she would have a show with snoop.

I will miss these debates

The “omg” was fucking hilarious

Ugh.. When Opie chimes in. He’s not a naturally funny guy. You can tell he’s trying too hard. It’s cringe-worthy.

Lmao when they roasted Hilary

Patrice O’Neal aka King of Analogies

Patrice O'neal was a better role model for black boys than al sharpton or jesse jackson.

Should have been the Anthony and Patrice show i dk why they didnt ever get together after O and A was over

You have to see it from a black perspective,he covered that when he said "as supposed to what 300 years of old white guys". If your white and there has been nothing but black presidents eventually even by bias you would want a white president for the sake of the odds.

Good conversation!

Yes! they hate that confidence.

It’s annoying just how DENSE Anthony is

Patrice is a genius

We have 100s of years of evidence that we can't live together

What kind of dream is it to have a black president

Nobody was better at talking about race than Patrice in an honest funny way, apart from Pryor and maybe Bill Burr. He told it like it was about blacks and whites. He praised and slammed both. And fairly.

Holy crap, first minute Patrice says "What, you afraid he's going to make guns in your home illegal" Welp here we are a couple years later and what's going on in the USA??

'We need a mustache to hate'...man, that was creative...great segment all around...the 'just working the crowd' point was pretty obvious...'clowning' or 'goofing around' or whatever is just a part of the culture...I lived in an apartment building with a bunch of 'those people' and that's what the called it 'clownin', just being silly to have fun

We don't read! We don't read! Lmaooo

That caller is right .I notice whenever Ant had an Italian American on his show like Pat Cooper he would drop into that New York Italian American accent .

Man, if only they understood history and politics a little better.... but this was great😂👌🏾

The fact that Patrice is eating watermelon during this is hilarious

Patrice and Anthony are gems together

When you pay a QB 100 or 200 million you don’t want him getting drilled running

I would totally buy a giant statue of Batman if I had the money and a bigger place. LOL

Now Martha Stewart is hanging out with Snoop, Patrice would have been killing Ant if he knew that was gonna happen 😂

That's not ignorance, it's honesty.

I think Anthony breathed a sigh of relief when he listened to Obama speak so he can legally say "it's not because he's black"

If what you say is true then I guess we Jamaicans are not (black people). We don't hide who we are. We bring it 24/7 to everyone.

Fuck I miss Patrice. Rest well big guy.

i think patrice would cringe if we saw what was happening with the president today.

This is a great example of why Opie and Anthony being very different worked so well. It allowed things like this, where Anthony could just go totally off the rails with Patrice and Opie would just step in around the breaks to keep it grounded. That relationship was definitely a case of "I know you hate him, but suck it up because the combo WORKS"

32:15 fire off a few rounds. Lmfaooooo actually hilarious

Does anybody know any radio show or podcast like this? With unfiltered funny conversations. Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew tate and bill burr are the only guys I got that come close to OA+P

They really needed Patrice in there,now that he's gone it's not really surprising how different that show is even if it took a few years

Homie used a clinton as an honest person? In 2024 to imagine anyone believing that is lunacy.

15:00 aged poorly. Thats exactly what Martha tried doing.

Go on Google and you'll find it's actually a mixed bag of kids these politicians read to but okay lmaooooo.

Man..Ant was spot on about beginning of a race war. During Obamas presidency,race relations took a dive.

They are BOTH right.

I love Patrice, but why do so many black people automatically assume because a person doesn't like Obama, they automatically like Bush. Christ.

I just went and looked at the video...bush was reading to black kids during 9/11 lol

I think a better example Patrice should've used would be if Ant, someone very rich and successful because he built something using his comedic talents, would then go and do a speech to airconditioner installers, using their jargon. Granted it doesn't carry an inflection but I can see Ant getting sucked into it again on some level and feeding into it.

Its just the way we communicate with each other. I do the something when im around my family and friends and I come from a very educated family. My cousins, sisters, My aunts and uncles, my brother and I all went to college and most of my friends as well but when we around each other that's how we speak with each other. Its carried from when all of our families were in the south before migrating north. As for Calling certain things the wrong words is just from twisting the English language enough so other wouldn't understand what we were saying. Ask most of us to give you our "white voice" (interview voice) and we can, we can turn it on and off. Its just our way of communicating and we dont feel the need to change to make people like ant feel comfortable because who the fuck are you? its really that simple.

I'm a Hawaiian. Here in Hawaii we speak with an accent called Pidgin English and it can be hard to understand for people not from here. I once worked in a hardware store for 4 years and decided to suppress my accent so that foreign and white people could understand me better but when I'm around friends and family I speak in my natural accent. My point is that I disagree that Oprah was being fake when she spoke differently infront of certain crowds. Would it be considered fake if she learned Japanese and spoke to a Japanese crowd?

anyone know the song that starts at 19:39 in the background?

"Martha Stewart doesn't have to relate to a hip hop kind of world..." -Patrice O'neal Meanwhile, Snoop and Martha bakin' it up these days. A lot of stuff Patrice said has manifested somehow. Even what he DIDN'T expect.

funniest thing i ever heard i choke/laughed so heard i need my asthma inhaler the women period jokes her hair hurts nearly killed me

dont people say "just be yourself" i would think oprah would think the same!

Oddly enough Martha Stewart started doing things with Snoop Dogg, weirdest celebrity combo ever lol I would wonder what Patrice would say to that pairing.

However, Ant too spoke the truth as well.

"what do you think he's gonna do, Anthony? Take away your guns?" if he wasn't scared before, anthony's scared now...

Damn Patrice rest in peace

Ant uses stereo-typical 'stats' to support his arguments. Terrible way of going about things

Only listening to this shit to hear Patrice.

if your names ray.... your names ray.

Starbucks in a rain slicker doin heroin hahaha

I live when Ant tells it like it is!

Little did they kno Cam Newton was next

I didn't know ensure made a virgins blood shake

lol her hair hurts LMAO

I wish Patrice was here to see cam newton
