UNMASKED listening thread.

[Bossanova]

[Sloppy2nds]

Ron is one hell of an interviewer.

[Bossanova]

Seriously one of the best

[ChrisTheCop]

[epo]

what channel? i got some lame ass danny tubesteaks on 202.

150

[ChrisTheCop]

thank you both.....ahhh...ronnie!

[Sloppy2nds]

Was that O&A comment dropped or was that poor reception

[Bossanova]

The other day when Ronnie said Carlos' name after he said he didnt want comics saying what not to mention. I wonder if Carlos didnt want him to bring up Rogan

[Bossanova]

Was that O&A comment dropped or was that poor reception

I heard it

[brocklang]

I saw Mencia live once, and he killed. His stuff is hilarious. I don't get embarrassed easily, but during some of his material, I was actually embarrassed to be hearing it.

[Bossanova]

HAHA

Ronnie agreeing with Carlos not being funny

[Bossanova]

I saw Mencia live once, and he killed. His stuff is hilarious. I don't get embarrassed easily, but during some of his material, I was actually embarrassed to be hearing it.

Im not a huge fan, but he was great during the Virus tour last year

[epo]

Damn...Ronnie was born to do this show. I generally don't find Mencia to be funny, yet I'm totally interested in this interview.

[torker]

This thread needs a stenographer.

[Hottub]

He's not saying a lot, but Getting Mencia to really open up.
Ronnie should be an attorney, or a detective.

Ah, fuck that. He should have his own channel. Or Two.

[Hottub]

This thread needs a stenographer.

You need to buy an XM, ya cheap prick!

[Bossanova]

Haha

Amen

agreed

[Badinia]

Y'know what I mean
Y'know what I mean

Looking for so much confirmation.

[epo]

Y'know what I mean

He does seem to be a little insecure.

[Hottub]

He does seem to be a little insecure.

He's being interviewed by the one and only Ronnie B. I'd be a bit on guard myself.

[Sloppy2nds]

Y'know what I mean
Y'know what I mean

Looking for so much confirmation.

Damn, now it's annoying...why'd you mention it.

[Bossanova]

Damn, now it's annoying...why'd you mention it.

Im sayin. I have been listening for it ever since

[Hottub]

Trying to rationalize being a disrespectful douche?
Ok.

[djjd]

for all the ego of a comedian, there's often an equal amount of insecurity and humility

look at norton and his self deprecating atitude

[Badinia]

Trying to rationalize being a disrespectful douche?
Ok.

Well, he wouldn't steal a joke *now*. This was back *then*.

[Hottub]

Actually, Jimmy draws from the "Meaty- Breasted Zilch" angle. It makes him more attainable.

[Hottub]

Well, he wouldn't steal a joke *now*. This was back *then*.

Perfect!

[Hottub]

At least it was better than Miss South Carolina.

[Bossanova]

I love how Ronnie can take a step back and still comand a show. Looking foward to next weeks show

[epo]

"I've been accused of stealing jokes" --- No shit?

[Bossanova]

"I've been accused of stealing jokes" --- No shit?

HAHAHAHA!

[Hottub]

Mr. B. :clap::clap::clap:

[epo]

"Think about how intelligent I am"

Seriously Carlos Mencia thinks he is the smartest person in the world.

[Bossanova]

Nice, bringing up Dane

[Badinia]

Parallel Writing!

Mr. Bennington with Rogan AND Mencia!!!

[Bossanova]

Did anyone else hear Fezie laugh at the end

[brocklang]

I didn't hear Earl's name during the credits.

[Sloppy2nds]

Did anyone else hear Fezie laugh at the end

No I missed Fezzie. Do they replay this...saturday night @ 8 is tough.

[brocklang]

Tomorrow on 202 at 2:00 est.

[Bossanova]

No I missed Fezzie. Do they replay this...saturday night @ 8 is tough.

I wanna say Sunday at 2:00 on 202 anyone correct me if I'm wrong

[brocklang]

Should we turn this into the Black Phillip listening thread?

[Bossanova]

Why not

[brocklang]

This is actually my first time hearing this show. Patrice has a unique point of view on a lot of different subjects. I love it when he's on O&A.

[Hottub]

Let's leave this an Unmasked thread. For posterity.

Patrice talk is here. (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=61162&page=5)

[nevnut]

Thank you Ronnie B. for an awesome interview. Not a real big Mencia fan but gotta say, Ron did a great job of "unmasking" Carlos.

Really looking foward to the interviews with the comedians I really like, Bob Newhart and Bob Saget especially.

:clap::clap::clap:

[waltermitty]

Ron Bennigton is a Genius!

[torker]

Ron Bennigton is a superGenius!
:wink:

[Dan G]

Ron Bennigton is a Genius!

You missed an n and I don't mean Earl.

[Doctor Partlow]

I missed today's show and won't be able to listen tomorrow. anyone know where I could 'obtain' a download of the show to listen to ronnie's genius?

[PapaBear]

Wait a minute. Is this thread because they replayed it? Fez said it was going to be at 2PM. That's when I set up my nexus to record it.

[Hottub]

Replay at 2pm(eastern) on Sunday.

Sorry, Bro.

[PapaBear]

Will the replay be on 150 or 202, like Fez said. I'm confused.

[waltermitty]

Will the replay be on 150 or 202, like Fez said. I'm confused.

It will be on 202 at 2pm

[lifeforms]

Yeah I'm a little late, but I've been in my car all night. That interview made me dislike Mencia more. "Think of how smart I am," "First it was $50,000, 58,000, 1,000,000." He really likes to talk himself up.

Ron is a great "unmasker."

That is all.

[SmallFry]

That is all.

I did hear Ron say that when they sent out copies to the guests he really wanted on the show, he didn't mention Mencia. I think he mentioned Jimmy and Patrice.

[ruggedo]

They broadcast this on The Virus today after that music show Sam,Than and Dan do. It was good to see it on the station it belonged on.
Ron did a pretty good job,but this isnt the one he was proud of,those are yet to come. That said, still a good show, glad I caught it.

[Bossanova]

If Im not mistaken. Tonight is Norton's unmasked. 8:00 on 150

[lleeder]

I think your mistaken. There's a new one every two weeks.

[mikeyboy]

I think your mistaken. There's a new one every two weeks.

Yep, and the next one is Brian Regan. Norton isn't until 12/15.

[Bossanova]

Well then. I stink.

[lleeder]

Well then. I stink.

Mikey can double check w/ Earl, but I think you have it right.

[Fallon]

According to XM's website Jeff Garlin is tonight and Regan is late December.

[IamFogHat]

I'm not the only one listening right? This is a damn good one.

[waltermitty]

I never figured Garlin to be this deep.....

And I'll say it again..... Ronnie B. is a genius and one of the most talented interviewers in broadcasting...

[Fallon]

Bob Newhart Sat, 11/3 | XM Comedy - XM 150 Sun, 11/4 | The Virus - XM 202

A genuine comedy legend whose "done-it-all" career includes stand-up, award-winning comedy albums, TV shows, movies, and now an autobiography (I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This), Bob Newhart is a bone fide American Treasure...and he will be Unmasked this week on XM.

[Lady Resin]

And don't forget the replay on Sunday @ 2:00 on 202. That's the show I've been listening to. I can't wait to hear the replay of this interview. :thumbup:

[Bossanova]

Getting ready for Unmasked at 8:00, been looking foward to this since it taped

[watson]

sounds great.... love the preview copy

thanks ESD

[Bossanova]

This has been the best Unmasked so far

[waltermitty]

Agreed... This is good stuff....

[Hottub]

Jesus Christ! Bennington is brilliant.:thumbup: I NEVER would have thought of that question. It took Bob a few seconds to think aboot it, too.

[Bossanova]

Tonight at 8:00 Bob Saget

[S0S]

I'm ready! :happy:

[S0S]

Bob Saget likes CGI movies. Pan's Labyrinth, LOTR, E.T.

Accidentally became a stand-up after doing a documentary.

[S0S]

Saget talks about finding rolling paper.

Saget is talking about Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos


Talks about doing blocking scenes with a doll that was in different positions.

Farce of the Penguins with Tracy Morgan, Lewis Black and GF Michell.

Dirty Work, Half Baked & Something about Mary.

Talks about charity work of Scleroderma

[Crispy123]

It started off weird but Ron really does a great job of steering Saget as much as he possibly can.

[Bossanova]

Anyone else checking out the Robert Klein Unmasked in a few minutes?

[mikeyboy]

I'm in for at least the beginning.

[Hottub]

I'm in for a few. Go get 'em Mr. B.

[Gritty]

Klein seems pretty coherent so far.

[mikeyboy]

Has anyone ever noticed that anyone who ever has an anecdote or story involving Rodney Dangerfield always attempts to relay what Rodney said in the Rodney voice.

[Bossanova]

Has anyone ever noticed that anyone who ever has an anecdote or story involving Rodney Dangerfield always attempts to relay what Rodney said in the Rodney voice.

Now that you mention it, I can't remember a time where someone hasn't.

[Gritty]

I guess it's one of those impressions everyone thinks they can do. No one in comedy now has as unique a sound as Rodney did.

[Gritty]

HA! Fuckin' Fez!

[Bossanova]

great Fez appearance

[TeeBone]

The last 30 minutes of the Robert Klein UNMASKED seemed to be edited by a child, or possibly Earl. It sounded as if Robert Klein rambled on and on and there were obvious cuts in the laughter/dialog that lead to him talking about things that weren't asked of him, etc... Did anyone else notice this or is Robert Klein genuinely a rambler?
I realize that the producers have time constraints for the program but it really did sound odd.

[Badinia]

I thought Robert Klein's nutty ramblings were funny enough- although if you let him talk on any one topic for long enough, it always seemed to lead into a Rodney Dangerfield story. All roads lead to No Respect.

"I'm sorry Mr. Bobo. Now I'm gonna have to search your butt. Please bend over, sir."

[Hottub]

Mr. Norton, Mr. Bennington,

Outstanding show!!:thumbup:

[bobrobot]

I'm not actually listening but I asked somethin like, "what was the single most influential moment that made you want to go into comedy?"

[jetdog]

What a fucking amazing interview/rant session. I don't always agree with Jimmy, but damn is he an intelligent sonofabitch. I really apprecieate him just putting it all out there, not a lot of people with that kind of take on life (and I think there is a reason for that) but it really makes you respect it when someone just goes all out.

[foodcourtdruide]

Ron Bennington's Unmasked featuring Brian Regan (http://www.brianregan.com/)

:clap:

[S0S]

Brian Regan's stories about his childhood are hilarious.

"Have you ever seen a real life dead man"?

Confusing "Traffic" and "logs"

Hiding in a closet upstaging the teacher.


:lol:

[S0S]

College Football coach said he should change his major to communications/theatre.

Had to give 5 minutes speeches in class and enjoyed making those people laugh.

Went to a movie theater in Ohio to ask if he could do comedy before the movie starts.

Owner asked for pictures and live show. Took 3by5s. Thought of a funny thing and recorded it on a tape recorder!


The guy loved the tape.
:laugh:

"Sounds like a first draft screen play for the jerk" -Ron

[1/4mile]

F'n funny these 2 are

[S0S]

Saw Mickey mouse posters with "comedian Rip Regan"

Out billed by a piece of cake.

No one was laughing and the kids were popping balloons.

Movie story owner tried to ask the crowd for respect.

No one was laughing and Brian Regan felt ashamed.

The movie story owner said he loved it and that there was a talent scout in there so be prepared for a phone call.

"That is the most pathetic story I have ever heard" -Ron

[S0S]

Brian Regan wonders how many potential comedians quit after their first bomb.

Discuss how hard it is to be a comedian.

Went to a tavern with a stage with bar in front. As he is walking up the stage someone said "you suck" and someone else said "we think you suck too." Brian Regan asked for patience but got brutalized.

Ron recounts his own experience there with a hostile crowd.

"It gotta be one of the toughest things to go through" -Ron

[S0S]

Brian recounts getting stiffed at comedy clubs.

Used to buy 30-day Greyhound passes. Owner drops him in front of a stop that hasn't been used in 3 years. The bus is full and so he has to sit on the floor. Brian Regan is jealous of those people sitting.

Ron asks if he thought about the future of being a comedian.

Brian Regan thought that if he got a hundred a night he would be happy. Now he has wife and kids.

Ron brings up the first time they met at Fr. Lauderdale.

Many of those minutes were TV ready.

[S0S]

Brian Regan tries to make a connection with the crowd that will make them laugh.

Brian Regan's Road rage joke bombed hilariously.

Wonders how someone with such vast comedic knowledge doesn't know how to write.

Brian Regan doesn't write starting on a blank paper or computer screen but real life.

:laugh:

Brian Regan's fans know his material very well.

[S0S]

Brian Regan wants to always be doing new material.

Brian Regan now sits in bus seats. :lol:

Brian Regan knows that the window seat is the best seat because you can put a pillow next to it.

Bough Charmin and covered it in a T-Shirt. Went to sleep and the T-shirt fell off and when he woke-up everyone was looking at him.

Brian Regan explains that he lives on the road and with his family.

Ron says that Brian Regan is slowly building every year and is in the to 1% of comedians.

Brian Regan says he is under the radar.

Ron wonders if it is because he hasn't done a sitcom.

Ron doesn't see him pretending a couch on a stage is his home.

Brian Regan doesn't think the networks know of him. And saw Jerry Seinfield's following and wanted it but eventually Brian Regan found his own following.

[S0S]

Doesn't want to to be stuck in one niche.

Ron brings up that his fans ask for older stuff.

Doesn't get when people ask for other comedians work. :tongue:

Brian Regan set his priorities to balance his career and his family.

He doesn't want to bomb in front of his kid.

Ron asks why he works clean all the time.

Brian Regan says that to work in tough rooms he needed a starting and ending joke with rough words.

Says that are comedians that work blue and dark that are funny.

Brian Regan tries not to indulge in the comments on his website. "Doesn't want to swell his own head."

Ron asks him about merchandising.

Brian Regan is reluctant about it.

[epo]

Ronnie with a nice, subtle Carlos Mencia dig.

[S0S]

Brian Regan comes up with dark and twisted jokes that he can't tell as a comedian.

He doesn't like to watch himself on a TV because it is painful because he picks out every mistake.

Brian Regan can tell how good a joke is by the number of cameras up.

Talk about how it is illogical for good comedy to get people to drink more.

"Have you ever had a good social moment that did not turn into a disaster?" - Ron

One of the members of the crowd asks about the UPS joke. Brian Regan gets a huge truck for 10 small boxes.

A guy in a window wrote on a paper "Turn wheel to right and back up" to help him.

Brian Regan is working on a new special for Comedy Central.

Ron says there are very few people who can master comedy as well as he has.


:clap:

[cogsdoc]

The Regan unmasked was great. Hysterically funny, and it was great to hear Ron having so much fun with it. You could tell how much respect he has for Regan, and that he finds him as hysterical as the rest of us.

[S0S]

David Brenner sounds like a very principled person.

[S0S]

He had a strong father.

His son is just like him.

[S0S]

His sons are creative.

[S0S]

He invented Observational Comedy.


Others took his scheme and made millions.

[S0S]

David Brenner moved onto current events comedy.

Talked about his show getting canceled before airing because of a gay character.

[Dirtybird12]

I wish I could find mp3 files of the Jim Norton & David Brenner episodes of unmasked.
I keep missing the show on XM. I've been searching for 6 years for these episodes.

Heard the Gallagher replay about a week ago (or at least the part i could stand); the first Unmasked i didn't like on any level.

IMO the klein interview wasn't particularly funny or enjoyable, but at least it had some interesting comedy history.

I would rank the Norton, Newhart and 2 "Curb" eps as my faves so far.

[S0S]

It is funnier how Ron Bennington and Patrice O'Neal did their interview than how I wrote this summary.

Ron Bennington introduces Patrice O’Neal by saying where and when they usually meet and that they usually meet at the end of Opie and Anthony’s Show and the beginning of The Ron & Fez Show.

Patrice O’Neal makes an analogy to school by says that the business is run by the people in the front of the bus who don't like to be smacked around and he is in the back of the bus where people just goof on everything so he is looking for people in the middle of the bus where there is some of both.
He turned down Celebrity Fat Club because he would have to be a has-been but he was a never-was.
Patrice O'Neal's interview on Fox defending O&A's speech was because free speech is part of black people’s reparations after being held back for so many years. White guilt is their ally to say what they want until they need to get their stuff together.

Ron says that he would not think that this Unmasked would not be played in the same place as The Actor's Studio.

Patrice is not tired of fighting. Opie and Anthony are generals but he is not yet done fighting. His Black Phillip Saturday Night Virus Show is just that he doesn't like women and he isn't done offending people.
Patrice is not trying to make money; it is a dream that takes a long time. Patrice is trying to be righteous and honest to himself.

Patrice tapped danced in Aspen 1998 following what other people asked him to do( and ate whoppers) and felt depressed that he could not do what he wanted to do.

Patrice does his comedy to change people's lives and to mean something but not be profound about it.

He says that George Carlin & Pryor did not get the response they wanted as well.

He has fans everywhere; Opie & Anthony, Web Junk 20, His HBO Special: and he needs to mold them into what he truly is at his appearances. Patrice does not mind being boutique; He does not need a million strangers in his life. Ron brings up that Ricky Gervase brought up that he respected Patrice O'Neal's comedy out of all the comedians in the US. Patrice does not try to have an editing system. Patrice thinks that they came together when he went to the U.K. Patrice says that he was offered golden handcuffs in the US but could do his own material in the UK. Irony to us is getting eaten by a shark; irony for them is sarcasm. Patrice put himself out there with some of UK’s anti-american sentiment to show how comedy is different in the US. He fought through UK audiences to eventually gain their respect.

Patrice was making good money there in the UK but he got a call from Showtime. It happened six years ago and he still gets respect in the UK.

Patrice's HBO special is where he got more respect. Patrice put out what he wanted to put out. It is different than some comedians where he sees mega assholes make mega money; He says there is no karma and no one to complain to. The people he does not like to talk to are the ones that let their job qualify themselves. Bliinging is in the heart and even if his girlfriend had a diamond hat, she would not be.

Patrice's journey has not reached its pinnacle even though he has lots of people respect him. He says one of the problems facing attracting a larger audience is that white people don't like black anger.
Why do people have to be nice to you if that's not how he feels?
Patrice says he is aggressive and being passive aggressive makes him sick. He is not going to sell to an audience by changing his material.

Patrice is a fighter for things that are anti-now, against proceeding conventions.
Any man who says something is "inappropriate" makes him sick.
He wants to respect people because of their platform and not because what they are.
White people aren't the oppressor anymore.
They came through the 60s and now there are remnants of it which don't fit today.

Patrice says he doesn't think Africans are us. He knows that black Africans don't like black Americans. The kings and queens era of the past is over in Africa. Black Americans are a new species different than black Africans.
He doesn’t like how he sees Black Americans whole existence is based on how they deal with white people.

Patrice worked for the WWE for a short while and looks at how they are doing from time to time. Patrice says being back stage was amazing. The Rock was nicer than he should have been. Sean Cold was more like he expected.

Michael Jordan is awe-inspiring. Larry Bird is himself. Vince McMahon did not belittle his staff and Patrice respects that.

He doesn't want to meet people he respects. He met some people and now that he knows them, he thinks they stink.

Patrice liked his appearance on Fox being intelligent, funny. The person from NOW had another agenda and it is helping woman not needing her help. How does Condelezza Rice need help from NOW?

Patrice thinks an appropriate compensation for 15 years is 20 millions dollars.

He says Larry Sanders is the best show.

He doesn't mind silence at a comedy show.

Ron thinks he has things to say beyond the jokes. He doesn't care if he makes it but doesn't want to be a martyr. He doesn't want to do it just for the money.
His mom questions his actions but she already made it as far as she is going to get.He still got to fight.

His girlfriend is relentless. He says that she can be married to him but he is not married to her.

Ron says we need Patrice to continue fighting.

Then comes the audience Q&A.

He wants to ask questions to paint a picture between Imus and Al Sharpton without saying he is a hypocrite explicitly. Let them dig their own grave or shine their own light.

Patrice has an hour and twenty minutes of comedy where he is funny. He can get help by other people to extend it.

“This game is long and loney"

His podcasts are the most fun he has had since his only responsibility he has is to himself.

Patrice does what he wants and not what other people want.

He says young men should not sell their soul for some ass.

Patrice wanted to be real on Letterman.
People are either over or under ready.
Dave put Patrice over to look good and Patrice respects him for that.

Nice BigAAAAAAAAAAAAA joke.

Ron thanks Patrice for being there and Unmasked ends.
