WOJM: What’s On Joe Mind?

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 6 in Review

I am posting this so I don't get fined...

It's been two weeks since our last show and a lot has happened.  All of the unbeaten teams have suffered a loss. The RHPs...er, LSPs rallied up in a big way and got back-to-back wins to end their start-of-season woes. The Warriors on the other hand, lost their 3rd game THIS YEAR...BY A SINGLE POINT. The difference between 4-2 and 1-5 is just that close. As you would guess, the former two time division championship winning owner, Gary, is pretty mad. So mad, he offers little to say.  So that means this will be a short episode.  So enjoy this one on your commute!

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 4 in Review

Gary loses yet another to his hated rival (Note: Gary is a hater, but he just hates his rival's team, not the rival himself, although...if he beats him again, he may change his mind). Ty, Jamie and Zack remain undefeated.  Poor Rock and the now named LSP's got doubled up (and then some) to drop to 0-4 and remain as the lone winless squad.  Who'd thought that the infamous RHP's and Cleveland Browns would have something in common. The New England Taco's get some league intervention and field a full line up this week.  Hey speaking of New England, the chowdaheadz get Tom Brady is back and for the first time ever, and with two patriot players on his squad, Gary is happy with that.  Enjoy!

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 3 in Review

Jamie, Zack and Ty all remain undefeated with their squads. 3 more teams get off the schneid with their first wins of 2016. And the Nanomites suffer a setback. All this, plus an interview with the owners of the Mishawaka (its a suburb of South Bend, Indiana - look it up) Blue Lasers, local real life radio celebrities (they paid us to type that), Maximus and The Bartender!

WOJM 2016 FFL Week 2 in Review

Oh yes, it is that time of year again. Some of you love it, some of you hate it, some of you listen to it and have no idea what we are talking about. Yes, it is Fantasy Football season. Don't worry Joe and Toy fans, we'll have regular episodes too, but for those of you who like a little sports (not sports ball - whoever coined that term I want to kick them...in their sport balls) mixed in with their "geekdom" (per say), then we're back. However, there is a team with a very very vague Joe reference.  If you can tell us the team AND to what it is referring to, we'll crack the vault and dip into the WOJM prize closet to end you a dust covered prize.  Once again it is Jamie and Gary joining our host and commish, Mike chairing the WOJM virtual sports desk.  So join us as we begin our 5th season of this nonsense!  Enjoy!

Special Edition 50: LIVE from JoeCon - The See You Next Year Edition!

It's our 50th Special Edition!  So this was supposed to be the recording of the last ever panel at JoeCon. Well, after the Hasbro panel on Saturday, EVERYTHING changed! So instead of turning out the lights, we're going to see you next year! Mike Irizarry hosts and is joined by Joe "Coin Flip" Colton, Chris "ROM" McLeod, Dave "My Hair IS Combed" Tree, and a voiceless (yet extremely smug) Gary Godsoe.  They get a chance to talk to Brian Savage on how the new two year deal with Hasbro materialized and how Orlando quickly took shape.  We also hear from Fub Pub's Lanny Latham and we present a special award to Noted Author James Kavanaugh.  Since Gary had no voice, he was our roving mic for some Q&A with the audience.  The attendees had some great questions including our thought on how the #savegijoe campaign may have helped (or not helped) Hasbro's decision to extend the contract with Fun Pub for another two years.  Lastly, what live show isn't complete without a visual gag, in an homage to the Colts-Broncos 1988 Halloween Monday Night Football Game, all of the hosts were equipped with Justin Bell masks! 

 

 

Hey, no one said it was going to be pretty!

 

There may be only TWO more JoeCon's left, so don't miss your chance!  We better see you next year in Orlando!!

 

Enjoy!
