I'm happy to see the comments can see Joe's attitude. It's funny that he made a series where he gets a bunch of old guys to drink, get high, act like idiots, then he has an actual young guy and he's all serious shutting down most of the attempts to joke around. The only thing that saved it a little was Ralph bringing up cars. It was cool of Jamie to bring up the impact of music influencing emotions to have Ralph's back. The irony of Joe saying how unbearable it is to see a comedian perform when they don't want to is hilarious.
