Special Edition 55: An Interview with Mark Bellomo

Iggy the Cat sits down with his human, Distinguished Author Mark Bellomo, to chat with Mike, Joe, and Carson. Every so often, Mark veers off-subject and talks about the runaway success of The Ultimate Guide To G.I. Joe: 1982-1994, 3rd Edition, toys, fandoms, and his other projects, but thankfully Iggy is there to bring it all back to him! Think of this as a little something extra for the holidays.

WOJM 112: Guest Hosts Everywhere

With Joe and Carson MIA, we had to turn to reinforcements for November's episode. Even though there's not a lot of product right now, there's a whole lot in the news! Join Mike, and guest hosts Fred Meyer (of Just Another GI Joe Show) and Mark Weber (former head of the GI Joe brand at Hasbro) as they try to make sense of what's going on at Hasbro, review the GIJCC's last-ever offerings, and share stories of twenty-eight toed cats. Pack a lunch, this one checks in just under three hours!

ALSO: The recording got a little spotty at times after the first hour. It's mostly okay, but if you find a rough spot... SHUT UP ABOUT IT.

WOJM 111: Ladies' Night 3!

October is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so the team decided it was a good time to give the keys to Joe Colton and bring back our Ladies' Night tradition (Ladies Night III to be exact)! Joining Joe is Spider-Slayer and Tinkles (old friends of the show Sara Detrick and Kate McLeod), and together they'll explore the world of GI Joe from a feminine perspective - from cosplaying to collecting and may stops in between. You'll also learn the origins of their special code names (for the record, Joe's is "Sniffles") and have a laugh or twenty along the way. Pour yourself a favorite beverage - just like our hostesses with the mostesses - and enjoy!  

PS, if you enjoyed this edition of Ladies Night, go back into our archives and listen to Ladies Night I and II.  You won't be disappointed.  

WOJM 110: The New Normal

NOTE TO ASPIRING PODCASTERS: Never try to "squeeze in" a recording just ahead of a major storm. Sound quality is not great for some of this episode and it was a four-week nightmare to try to save, but SAVED IT WAS! Carson picks up a new sponsor, Joe regales the boys with drunken tales of Dragon Con, and Mike tries to get everyone to just plug the show. Yes, it's business as usual on this episode of What's On Joe Mind? Download, enjoy, and tell your friends RIGHT NOW!!

Special Edition 54: Panel @ The 2018 Ohio Toy & Comic Show!

Noted Author James Kavanaugh gets Gary, Joe, and Mike to fall in for Rank & File Vol.4 at the Ohio Toy & Comic Show! The gang also talked more about the 2018 GIJCC and took some time for Q&A with the crowd at this live appearance. All this plus Debbie Godsoe! DOWNLOAD NOW!!

Special Edition 53: 2018 JoeCon Wrap Up!

It's the last JoeCon!  They've been home for weeks, but join Mike, Joe, and Carson as they unpack from the 2018 Joecon! They've got stories to tell, news to spread, and Joe may even shed a tear or two! What's next for the community?  What's On Joe Mind RIDES AGAIN!!

WOJM 109: 2017 Holiday Extravaganza!

Mike and Joe are joined by Carson Mataxis from 3DJoes.com and Maggie Cogan of The Finest to review the news and chat about the holidays. Along the way, our hearts grew three sizes, and we all gained some respect for Joe's mom, The Little Immigrant. Enjoy! (Opening/closing themes thanks of Funky Butt Brass Band!)

Special Edition 52: An Interview with Larry Houston

Mike and Justin sit down for an in-depth chat with legendary storyboard artist Larry Houston, Director of GI Joe: The Movie.  Enjoy!

On The Spot: 2017 Ohio Toy & Comic Show Preview

Mike, Gary and Joe briefly promote the Ohio Toy & Comic Show.  Also joined by Brian (or Bryan...he's recording right now so we will not interrupt) from the Infamous Podcast.  Go find them!  Come join us if you are in the area.  We have free cookies...really!!

WOJM 108: Quick & Dirty 2017

It's the annual Quick 'n' Dirty "Live" Pre-JoeCon Edition!  "Live" just really means that Gary didn't put much effort behind editing this other than dropping in the opening and exit cuts.  So you get to hear every "um," "ah," studder, long awkward pause and lame joke that we normally record yet we edit out 99% of the time.  The gang talks about the Joes of 2008, goes over the JoeCon schedule and touches on the news, in addition to the very popular Creepy Fanboy Emails to Joe and Postsac segments.  We'll also be making fun of Justin as he has some life-changing surgery on the horizon.  No, this is not re-assignment surgery, so if you are waiting for Justine, you will have to wait AT LEAST to next year.  So, turn up the radio, recline the airplane seat back further, or rest a bag of frozen peas on your groin and enjoy the show!  Safe travels and we'll see you in Orlando!

 

UPDATE: this episode should be 1:53:54.  The previous upload cut off at the 1:07:xx mark.  We re-uploaded the file again, so if you heard this prior to 5pm Eastern on 5/20, you have only heard half of the episode.  This is also a cheap way to inflate downloads and listens.  Did we do this on purpose...or not?  ;)

Special Edition 51: Annual Reading the JoeCon Brochure!

For the 6th consecutive year, we read the JoeCon brochure and give you our tips and tricks on how you can best enjoy the weekend.  We also share in past JoeCon stories and experiences.  Justin reads as Mike, Joe and Gary comment.  Chances are running out!  There are only 2 Official GI Joe Conventions left!!  We'll see you (well, most of us anyway) in Orlando in June!  Enjoy!

WOJM 107 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

The long-awaited Part 2 of the epically long Episode 107.  We are joined by Aubrey Sitterson as we discuss comics and what IS and what ISN'T a crossover, plus we share what we got in recently (at the time) and shout outs!

Special Edition 50: An Interview with Blake Noh Nichols

Mike and Chris interview Blake about his big KONG-er, about the new King Kong movie line from Lanard, and get into the company's long history with making product similar to GI Joe.  Enjoy!

WOJM 107 Part 1: Tardy Holidays!

Yes, yes, yes, blah, blah, blah...yes, we know this is late and they are not timely as they have been in the past, but real life matters.  Stop yer gripin'!  This is the Holidays/New Year edition.  When we recorded 107, it was shaping up to be a six-hour epic.  So instead of continuing to make our listeners wait, we are releasing 107 in two parts.  Part one consists of our typical show material: The Joes of 2007, more creepy cosplay fanboy messages to Joe, a ton of news, Buzz Dixon makes his triumphant return to the show, and Joe and Justin talk a whole bunch about sexting pics.  Yes, a little steamy heat to warm up your cold winter nights.  Enjoy Part 1.  Part 2 will be out soon!

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 10 in Review

The Cubs win, the election is over (oh, BTW, Gary was right!), so now the focus is back to football.  The race is tight as even among the divisions, but will the tie breakers make it impossible for the challengers to make up ground?  Find out what the team thinks!  Enjoy!

WOJM Episode 106: Loveland, Reviewed

ZOMG!  It's a REAL episode!!  Yes, the gang brings you almost FIVE hours of Joe Related Talk...and other subjects...and pointless tangents.  Justin was having "family time" so joining us for substitution host duty is Chris McLeod of The Full Force.  Since this is our first show since JoeCon (yes, we know it has been that long, but we all have real lives we must live folks), we spend a SIGNIFICANT amount of time in the news doing a day-by-day review of all that went down in Loveland.  We also catch up on other topics in the news...all which is old news now, but you can hear what we have to say instead of reading it on a forum or in social media.  We also talk to IDW GI Joe artist extraordinaire, Tom Feister as we check in to what projects he has cooking for the rest of the year.  All that plus the Joes of 2006 and Inappropriate Cosplay Emails to Joe Colton.  We know you will love this new segment!  We'll fill you in with our lives in the real world on our next episode, but for now, enjoy this MEGA show...this should last you a couple of days on your commutes...unless you have a long commute and in that case we hope it makes your trip go by that much more rapidly.  Thanks for thinking of us!  We appreciate your loyalty!!   

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 8 in Review

In the Hama, Jamie moves to 7-1 with Debbie, coming off her first ever Couch Bowl win, is following closely behind at 6-2. Over in the Dixon, Ty Samms and Da Busters suffer a setback but still control the division with the Privateers and Wild Bills not too far behind.  Celeb entrant, Zach Hoffman is struggling after a 4-0 start, losing his last 4 to even up his record at 4-4.  Gary manages to save SOME face this week as he improved his record to a still-poor 2-6 but putting a 143 point pasting of the equally as hapless RHPs.  We're half way through the season, and even though it looks slim for some, still ANYTHING can happen!  Plus the guys give "live" updates of Game 6 of the Cubs-Indians World Series and analize the Cubs choice of pitchers to close out the 8th and 9th innings.  And if that isn't enough, they all make their Election Day predictions for President.  Find out who of the 3 hosts the bleeding hearts are (hint: it isn't Gary)...enjoy!
