Great comedians recognize great talent. I love the reverence in Patrice's voice when he's asking Pat questions and then allowing Pat the floor to do his thing. Patrice and Pat had the best exchanges on Tough Crowd, they would both set each other up and play back and forth for some great comedy.

Pat Cooper - the original Bridge Burner

@33:56 - Pat Cooper: "That's the 3rd time he interrupted me. One more time - one more time, I'm gonna hate black people." That was great! xD

You can tell Patrice had nothing but respect for Pat because no matter how hard he ripped on him, he ended the joke with "sir".

Pat Cooper is the old italian version of Patrice. Crazy similar ideas on the business

Holy shit, Pat walks in and chops Opies legs off right when he walks in around 30:00

Pat and Patrice should have had a show called PAT & PAT I would have tuned in religiously!!!

wait did pat immediately come on and basically tell opie he was useless? pat you beautiful man

Eight years later and Pat Cooper is still alive. I hope he's still fighting. 90 years of age now.

I've listened to this many times over the years and you know what just occurred to me? Patrice O'Neal is Pat Cooper if he had lived to age 81!

Get up there and tap-dance for us LMAO!!....Havn't laughed so much in a long long time...

Now Pat and Patrice are in the Heavens making fun of each other. RIP 😢

The fastest comedic mind I've ever heard... actually makes Jimmy look normal. One of the best O&A moments.

"that must've been Flip Wilson". omg I'm crying laughing at my desk.

my second favorite Patrice on O&A show, It was great to hear all about Patrice and his perception of the game then have a true OG come in and reinforce it.

The moment I heard Patrice say it was 2011 my heart dropped knowing his death was close. And for all the hate that opie gets a couple episodes before this you could hear legit concern for Patrice because he fell asleep and it worried opie even enough to offer orange juice like 20x. And in so many episodes o and a both voice their anger towards Sirius not paying Patrice

Pat crapped on everyone like a test and only Patrice gave it back sufficiently enough to gain his respect.

wow, Pat Cooper is so damn sharp. And funny as all hell.

Patrice's Exorcist ad lib made me laugh so hard, I had to worry about waking up the tenants upstairs. Highlight of this great great segment

Alternate episode titles, "Now Get Up There And Tap Dance For Us" and "I Calls It Trim, Suh."

47:14 this is probably the funniest comeback someone has said to Patrice. I love Patrice's reaction because that was a bullseye to Patrice's style.

92 years old. Pat outlived Patrice.. crazy life

Listening to Pat Cooper's stories, I see that him and Patrice have the same way of thinking.

44:14 😂😂😂 Patrice knew what was coming. Pat and Patrice were a great duo.

I can’t get enough of O@A videos. There is so much great content. Anything with Patrice is amazing.

This is, hands down, one of the best O&A episodes. Pat Cooper is a fuckin national treasure

RIP to Pat and Pat... 🙏🏿

Patrice genuinely respected this man. It was a joy to listen to them talk about the business.

Patrice was a black Pat Cooper, couple of bridge burners

I'm two years late in the comment section but... This old guy on here is fucking hilarious...😂😂😂 R.I.P Patrice O'Neal

29:57 wow, that had to have stung Opie's fragile ego bigtime!

Pat cooper fucking hilarious I'm drunk and the first second he walked in I knew this was comedy gold.

"He is a guy that wanted to do art but he was 6'8" 😂😂

You can feel the reverence Patrice had for Pat. Great radio.

Holy shit pat cooper man, when he's on the topic of the show is 'him'. That shit was hilarious.

A line from Pat Cooper's wikipedia: "He is estranged from all members of his biological family and many of his colleagues in show business." lolol, yeah that sounds like Pat Cooper. What a legend

meanwhile Pat Cooper is still kickin'

Bet Pat never thought he'd outlive Patrice

this is a really great episode full with business and life gems. I heard it for the first time yesterday which just happened to be pat cooper's birthday, life is weird

Opie takes a call, and then starts talking when the caller talks, goddamnit.

48:09 "So cut the shit with that black crap and it's over... Now get up there and tap dance for us." LMAO. Pat Cooper is a beast

RIP the Great Patrice O'Neal 👑

“Now get up and tap dance “😂

Pat Copper and Patrice are amazing on the radio. Chemistry was the best I seen on O&A while Patrice was in the studio.

Honestly, They remind me of each other.

Patrice and Pat really had luv for each other. You can tell they were good friends

38:40 - 39:10 fucking hilarious, first that Patrice line and how Pat came at Opie. Fucking legendary.

50:45 that "Awwwww" from Ant and Patrice is hilarious. Just that acknowledgement of "I know EXACTLY how you feel"

This episode started like molasses with all that Boston sports talk, and once Pat Cooper walked in around 39:00, the show morphed into one of Patrice’s best episodes on O & A. Pat Cooper is the caucasian Patrice O’Neal, as fast as both of those guys were. Two of the best, quickest, comics of all time.

Imagine a TV show w/ Patrice and Pat Cooper called "Pat and Pat." I don't know what would bring them together, but they talk shit to each other on the show (kinda like Martin and Pam), but they great friends and always have each others back.

Patrice, Pat, And Ant-perfect trifecta with Jimmy as gravy 😂😂😂

The dynamic between Patrice and Pat Cooper is *ABSOLUTE-FUCKING-GOLD* - love this episode.

"peeing and fucking, fucking and peeing. Peeing and fucking, fucking and peeing." Pat Cooper a genius

Pat Cooper killed!! LMAO!

Man this is a great episode! Patrice with his questions and Pat dropping knowledge & wisdom

Patrice taking notes on how burn bridges. So good. So much love here.

Dude pat is still alive at 91

Patrice was really asking good questions i think it's because he saw himself..comedically.. both some of the funniest comics ever but only naturally cuz they don't have alot of their stand up on tv/KZfaq

Fucking Patrice and Pat is such an amazing combo.

Patrice really was the modern pat cooper

Even though it was only a minute or two, that was kind of life changing closure hearing Patrice react to his Amazon reviews and everything.

How could you possibly compete with him in a banter situation? Pat Cooper is untouchable!

29:57 oooof 😬 wish I could've saw Opies face

😂😂😂😂 "Anthony don't need anybody"

Cooper is beyond brilliant here

If Patrice was only a GM in the NBA for a bit he’d be the best. Imagine him interviewing the players for recruiting/pay?!

my favorite episode

21:50 glad we interrupted Patrice mid sentence so we could take a call from Striker. Good instincts ope

1:06:12 this is an honest reaction and it's why I love ballbusting Comics because I know it's all love. It's like two pro wrestlers in the ring. One apologized for a move and the other is like, "what are you doing!? Hit me hard as hell!"

Many thanks!! RIP Patrice.

This clip always makes me laugh.

I cant believe Patrice completely forgot about the Celtics of the 50s and 60s who won almost every fucking year.

47:55 tap dance for us!! Pat with the joke of the century

49:12 - 55:00 The story about Pats older lady friend banging him in the 1940's is brilliant.

21 used dvds now thats hilarious and preemptive to a great episode.

"Where does it say on the license, that I have to take your shit?" LMAO LMAO 1:25:20

GOD BLESS PATRICE O'NEAL 🌹🌹🌹🌹 PAT COOPER IS STILL GOING STRONG, JUST SEEN HIM ON INSTAGRAM.

Thanks 4 the uploads! LONGLIVEMR.P

Pat Cooper is literally grandad from the boondocks, but a white version. Too fucking real.

This may be my favorite one

Pat Cooper @ 28:45.He killed it here.

Holy fuck Pat Cooper is still going! He's 92 years old (2021-09-21).

Everytime opie does that fake high pitch laugh porno moan, it kills all funny vibes lmao

46:40 Pat Cooper gives honor from his balls & checks the people who still really don’t know.

Patrice calling Pat old... It's February 2020 and Pat Cooper is alive and well

Great episode

It’s a picture with a legend, come on. Greatest opie moment.

I love pat not acknowledging opies stupid question.

Amazing show.

Pat & pat with ant show will never happen.

Red Sox won in 2013 & 2018 Patriots won in 2014, 2016 & 2018 Bruins won in 2011 Only the Celtics have not won since this episode aired.

Another Classic episode!!

28:45 for Pat Cooper

Little did Patrice know that the Cavs would be a championship caliber teams in a few years, they Pats would win two more superbowls and the Celtics would make it to the Eastern Conference Championship as the number one team in the East.

how do these videos not have thousands of views

10 years later and melos finally an la guy.

"You might be getting me confused with flip Wilson." Oh fuck!

Industry for sure doesn’t duck with Cooper. Look at his wiki. Disrespectful.

All we hear is: Radio Ga Ga Radio blah blah We need this shit now

5:30 Ant's impression of a greedy radio executive is audibly ***ish lol
