And you said, 'You need to be doing theaters.' I was like, 'Okay.' And then you said, 'You need a Netflix special. You need to get one.' I was like, 'All right, Joe, how am I supposed to do that?' And you said, 'Be undeniable.' And you just walked away. And I f**king was like—that's the kind of mentorship you look for in a friend.”
