“I’m gonna make this clear that you’re gonna be seeing this now, here, and Joseph is bringing the trend back,”?said the American Gladiators star.

O’Hearn’s joke drew laughter from the person behind the camera. Joseph made a poker face and said,?“I think it’s it’s up to me to bring it back… it’s a responsibility I didn’t want… it’s the responsibility everyone needed.”?However, O’Hearn’s clever wordplay might contain layers.
