I've always gotten the sense that Joe wanted to see how Rory & Mal handled the intense level of scrutiny that he has faced in his career. Joe has no shame, he has been the butt of the joke on his own show quite a bit. No Joe Budden joke has ever been off limits. If Mal was accused of jerking off a pitbull I could imagine him making months of cryptic sad tweets before he ever came outside again.
