Patrice O'Neal Destroys Bert at His First Open Mic

Patrice O’Neal Destroyed Me | 2 Bears, 1 Cave · Jun 15, 2026 Comedy

Patrice O'Neal's first words to Bert Kreischer were that Bert bombed so hard he made Patrice bomb after him, and that Bert couldn't even clean the room of his own smell. This wasn't a bit. It was a genuine assessment from a comic who would go on to systematically destroy Bert's feelings for years — and whom Bert would come to love for it.

Patrice O'Neal Destroys Bert at His First Open Mic

At 33:54 · chapter starts 33:48

The Patrice stories begin with Shane Gillis's roast sensibility reminding Bert of Patrice. From there, Bert confesses Tom never met Patrice, then launches into total recall. First encounter: Bert bombs at a club, goes offstage, and Patrice immediately tells him 'you bombed so hard you made me bomb' and that Bert couldn't clean the room of his own smell. It wasn't a roast joke — it was a genuine assessment. Then Bert watched Patrice do the same to Todd Barry: no laughs, no performance, just Patrice telling Todd to his face that he would never panel successfully. The Edinburgh setup comes next: they need to tape an audition set at Caroline's for the Fringe Festival application, and right before Bert goes on, Patrice grabs his carefully prepared setlist and rips it in half. His reasoning: Bert's better when he just talks. Bert had an okay set. Not great — but okay. It was enough.

Patrice Tells Bert They Are Not Friends

Patrice O’Neal Destroyed Me | 2 Bears, 1 Cave · Jun 15, 2026 Comedy

After 25 days living together and Bert getting a CBS deal, an FX show, and a Fox development deal simultaneously, Bert told Patrice he was glad they became friends. Patrice told him flatly they were not friends, that he pitied Bert, and that without a foundation every deal he'd just gotten meant nothing. Then he asked if he could stay at Bert's parents' house in Tampa — because they're not friends.
