"It was totally surreal. Joe is just a master of making it feel like you're not on the biggest platform in the world and you're just chilling," he says. "He changed the game with regards to like access to information, which is what long-form podcasts are." He likes Tim Dillon's comedy podcast; Mark Norman has also been good for him.
