Brother. Son. Boyfriend. Friend. Gamer. Photographer. Artist. Professional. Diva. Icon. Legend. Star. Delusional. These are words that some would use to describe Joseph Fortuno. On this special birthday episode, we discuss his rise to mediocre stardom and fall from grace as we get to know the enigma that is our co-host, Jojo. Will there be drama? Yes. Is this a filler episode? Probably. Will he butcher more songs? Absolutely.
