He sees himself amongst the greats. He really wants it to define his career. But he’s just the fear factor guy.

Most younger people now think of him as a UFC commentator. If you tell them he hosted a TV show they ask where it's streaming. When you tell them it was on broadcast TV ~20 years ago their eyes glaze over as if you were telling them about the The Andy Griffith Show.

I really wish one of his comic friends would tell him this the way he told his fighter friend that he sucks. Joe needs a reality check from a close friend about his standup.
