What's on JOE Mind?

Believe it or not, in all of our years, we have NEVER given Mark Bellomo his own show.  Well, here it is! Show Preview:  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 about the runaway success of The Ultimate Guide To G.I. Joe: 1982-1994, 3rd Edition. the publishing business, 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. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to check out our other recent episodes! Despite Mark being an evil Patriot's fan, he redeems himself for his love of the Red Sox and GI Joe.  Want MOAR Mark?  Check out our past interviews with him here: Episode 88: https://whatsonjoemind.podbean.com/e/episode-88-what’s-on-joe-mind/ Episode 71: https://whatsonjoemind.podbean.com/e/episode-71-whats-on-joe-mind/ ENJOY!

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.

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.  

"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 the September, 2018 episode of What's On Joe Mind? Download, enjoy. and tell your friends RIGHT NOW!!"

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!!

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!!

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

The guys interview Larry Houston of GI Joe animated movie fame.  Enjoy!

Mike corners Joe and they talk smack about each other...and talk about the Ohio Toy & Comic Show.

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!!

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?  ;)

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!

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!  

Mike and Chris interview Blake...and his big KONG...from Lanard.  Enjoy!

Yes, yes, yes, blah, blah, blah...yes, I know this is late and they are not timely as they have been in the past, but real life matters.  Stop yer bitchin'!  This is the Holidays/New Year edition.  When we recorded 107, it was shaping up to be a 6 hour epic.  So instead of continue 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-ish...
