“I always love stand-up, but Joe always put the love into me. Because he is on News Radio, he is making $30,000 a week. And he is still coming to the store after a 15-hour day to do a 15-minute set, a $15 set. That’s character. Most people get a TV show, but you don’t see them.”

“Not only did he still show up, but he showed up after a f*cking 10 AM in the morning 10 o’clock at night shooting at the News Radio and he would still be there at 11:45.”
