McNeil was responsible for Kamali getting into his horrible shape at the first show. Kamali claims Joe and him had devised a two-part plan for the upcoming shows. My guess, that was Kamali's excuse as to why he didn't get into shape, and rather than blame McNeil, he comes with this excuse-good idea however. When Kamali still couldn't get into shape-for whatever reason-he gave the foot to McNeil.
All suspicion however.
