[1] — Bert Kreischer "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 cl…" 33:54 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.
