Anyone else tuned in?

[Friday]

I certainly am!

brown pride checkin in :p

Lasted about 10 minutes. Of course it goes straight to race. Black guys are all like this, white guys are all like this (racists of course.) Can't minority comics talk about anything but race? Is it impossible to believe that some people really don't care what race you are?

[Newmania]

Mencia just dropped O&As names.

Yes, actually.

I blame the whites. :action-sm

I'm not a big Mencia fan but Ron's a great interviewer and i'm enjoying it very much. :clap:

That's right ..."BITCH"!




...JK! :action-sm

[Newmania]

I figured he'd address the joke stealing thing.

[PatFromMoonachie]

Carlos certainly doesn't have any "self-esteem" issues! :smarty:

[Razor Roman]

Good interview, good show. I always laugh when I see Mencia, so I guess I'm a "fan"... but anyway, Unmasked was great and Ron did an excellent job, as we were all sure he would.

[BaLZaC~308]

woke up late, guess I'll listen on wednesday if i cant find the show "somewhere else"


I highly recommend anyone who gets a chance to see one of these live definitely goes, Ronnie is a fantastic interviewer

[weeniewawa]

Yes, actually.

I blame the whites. :action-sm

I blame the blacks

Concerning stealing bits, he made a good point about people living through similar situations.

That said, the bulk of his comments on the subject are sociopathic and ludicrous. I noticed Ron just piped down and let him run with it. He contended that there was a new movement or witch hunt (obviously headed by Rogan) going on in the comic world where comics are on heightened alert not to steal from other comics under threat of persecution/castigation.

Is that the case? Is it really? Or is it just the case that comics go after other comics who they catch stealing bits and he happens to be one of the accused.

Ron knows when to let someone dig their own grave! :p

Totally agree. There is something off with Mencia in my opinion. I think Ron unmasked the character that is Carlos Mencia, but not Ned. Im not sure Mencia knows the difference anymore.

[kevtv]

i hope i can find this one somewhere. i was at the taping for this and patrice and both interviews were great, despite the public opinion of mencia.

ronnie b is the best interviewer around.

[SOS]

I found it amazing on how he became a comedian.

[stellarcomics]

The only thing I really hate about Mencia is how he constantly reminds his audience how stupid they are; "See, the Smart people are laughing…" etc. etc. I get it; wetbacks are dumb. Next joke.

Stealing someone elses Creativity could be one of the worst crimes commited in Comedy or Show Biz in general. If I take time to craft a joke or a story and practice Everynight in front of strangers until I get it good enough to use in my act on the regular, and Someone just comes along...listens once to it then Changes a few words around and make it his own SUCKS BALLS and thats the bottom line. Its Cheating the game.

[Michael Ryder]

Great job Ronnie B. I'm glad Mencia addressed the fact he is not a funny person.

[plastikman]

It was great. Ronnie does some amazing interviews no matter who it is or how big a star they. Even though I don't care about Carlos that much, it was interesting.

[Hobo_Cum]

<Troll> NO ONE INTERVUSE BETTER THAN STERN DOES, HE GETS INTO THE REAL ISSUES LIKE IF SOMEONE HAS HAD ANAL OR IF THEY HAVE HAD A LESBIAN EXPERIENCE. RON B CANT DO ANY OF THAT </Troll>
