TBS Flashback - Patrice O'Neal

Another TBS Flashback!
Comedian Patrice O'Neal stopped by The Terry, Bill and Steve Show ahead of his 2009 headlining run at the Comic Strip in West Edmonton Mall, and the conversation goes everywhere. Sadly, we lost Patrice in November of 2011after a stroke took his life. This TBS Show was one of one. It was heard ONCE...and never again until now. O'Neal's unfiltered take on relationships, loyalty, and what he really thinks makes a marriage work — spoiler: it's not the fairy tale version is just part of this episode. The New Jersey-via-Boston comic opens up about life on the road, his first impressions of Edmonton (and its distinct lack of diversity compared to home), and how he reads a crowd during a Q&A set the night before. Sports fans will enjoy a deep dive into heartbreaking franchise moments, from Steve Smith's infamous own-goal against Calgary to the Patriots' near-perfect season gone wrong. Blunt, sharp-tongued, and never short on opinions, O'Neal delivers a candid, no-holds-barred conversation that's equal parts comedy and commentary.
