Joe runs 10 Minute Murder because he's been trying to figure out since the '90s why humans are such spectacular disasters, when the Menendez Brothers and O.J. Simpson turned murder trials into must-see TV. While his classmates were watching Saturday morning cartoons, little Joe was watching Court TV and thinking, "What is wrong with people?" Thirty years later, he still doesn't have a good answer, but he's got a podcast about it.
When he's not studying the worst decisions ever made by our species, Joe screams supportive threats at the Buffalo Bills, reads everything he can get his hands on, and goes to stand-up comedy shows to remember that humans can be funny on purpose instead of by accident. Most nights you'll find him on his couch, yelling "You IDIOT" at a murder documentary like the killer can hear him through the screen. He calls it research. His therapist calls it "an interesting coping mechanism."
