Love the podcast everything is great it would have 5 stars but the intro/theme song for season 1 is such loud and insufferable dad butt rock that it literally ruins the experience. So glad you changed the theme song for the second season. Other than that no complaints

Great, you have a criminal who wants to talk about his crimes. But that can’t be the entire podcast, especially when your criminal is as full of himself as Joe is. No apparent fact checking, no pushing back when he says things that are fantastical or improbable. No thanks.
