Bert is riding high — TV show, money, Hollywood apartment — and rents a party bus to take his friends to watch Patrice tape his Showtime special at the Brea Improv alongside Gary Goldman and another Jim Brewer nobody can look up. He warns everyone they won't like Patrice, because he's not friends with him — or so he tells them. Patrice sabotages the first taping with material that isn't his best. After the show, at the Embassy Suites after-party, Patrice pulls Bert aside and asks what he's doing there. Bert says he came to see Patrice do stand-up. Patrice says: 'Because we're friends.' Bert, not walking into the trap, says yes. And Patrice sits next to him all night, almost proud.

While shooting Bert the Conqueror in San Antonio, Bert learned that Patrice O'Neal had publicly tweeted his pride in Bert's success.
