THE ROAD TO CHUCK BOWL II starts here.  Surely to be our least downloaded show since our pilot, Justin and Gary got together to record the 2013 WOJM Fantasy Football League draft.  We talk no Joe - AT ALL.  It's all football with some very bad analysis on our part.  THIS is why we don't talk sports all the time folks.  We're only good in short sprints.  So here it is, Justin, Gary and a chat room full of wannabe football General Managers.  Who will win Chuck Bowl II?  One thing is for sure, i...

Episode 82: What’s on JOE Mind?

June 15, 2013 04:41 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB

This is a fast tracked episode because of the timely nature of needing to get our interview with Frank Patz from EternalCon and our old pal, Mark Cheng of Operation Red Retrieval fame.  Frank and Mark give us the low down on the upcoming pop culture convention on Long Island, on Saturday June 15th.  Believe it or not, our man Chuck will be stepping out of the Emanuele compound to venture out into the sunlight.  Will he survive?  We'll find out soon.  But hear the interview first and if you ar...

Episode 80: What's on JOE Mind?

June 01, 2013 23:22 - 2 hours - 159 MB

This is one of those episodes that took forever to edit, but hopefully it was worth the wait.  The show features not one, but two primetime interviews PLUS the returns of two of our most favorite guests.  First off are the returns of Bill Ratner and Kevin Watts.  Bill shares with us his thoughts of JoeCon as we have a very casual discussion with the man who will forever be the voice of our childhood Flint.  He also learns about JoeCon in other countries - will we see him at Roll Out Roll Call...

Episode 79: What’s on JOE Mind?

May 14, 2013 22:21 - 2 hours - 116 MB

The Doctor is IN!!  No, not GI Joe Doc, or Dr. Sheldon Cooper, or even Dr. Johnny Fever...although almost as equally as crazy as the old WKRP rock and roller.  This episode we are joined by Mr. Brian Cummings, or better known to Joe fans as the Sunbow voice of Dr. Mindbender.  Join us as we talk to Brian about his career, what's he's doing now and we get to hear more about the upcoming Joe show in South Dakota, Mindbender's Clinic in Rapid City on May 18th.  Sounds like a fun time and you fol...

May 03, 2013 23:37 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

April 10, 2013 01:22 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

So were our trio drunk or not for Special Edition #29...or did they lead you to think that?  Well if you think that is controversial, wait until you hear this report, "LIVE" from the sales floor.  Join Mike, Justin and Gary as they record directly out of the COIL Club's booth, which is dead center of the sales floor.  The guys will report on what has happened thus far to this point in the show and interview friends and listeners as they stroll by.  You will also recognize two of the personali...

Well, its our second annual pre-JoeCon "Live" episode.  Who could we have as our guest on the heels of Jon Chu...well, how about TNI's and the CFB's Don Anderson.  Feel a little let down now?  Yeah, a little.  Imagine how we felt...but Don brought his B-Game for us and we had a semi-good show.  We answer more of your listener mail, talk about the surprising returns of Retaliation, rejoice at the green lighting of GI Joe 3, and do a ton of preview for JoeCon - INCLUDING the 10 day AccuJoe Fore...

WOJM Special Edition #28: Our Review of Retaliation...AND JON CHU!!

April 01, 2013 04:35 - 1 hour - 79.2 MB

Once again, first off, there are many many spoilers discussed in this episode.  If you have not seen the movie and do not want to be spoiled, we recommend you DO NOT listen to this until you have seen the movie first!! So we've all seen the movie.  There is some parts WE LOVE.  There are some parts that still need some work.  Aaaand, yes, there is a part or two that made us cringe.  With that said, we all enjoyed our time at the theater to watch the movie we waited so long for.  What were ou...

Episode 76: What’s on JOE Mind?

March 30, 2013 16:13 - 2 hours - 120 MB

It's the eve of the big movie for the 4 hosts, but before we can go see the movie, we got to get this episode out of the way.  Former Hasbro Exec Kirk Bozigian joined us a couple of weeks ago (sans Gary) for a nice little interview.  If you remember him from JoeCons past, and especially last year, you'll know he's a tad bit on the controversial side with his opinion.  What does he say this time?  C'mon man, you know the drill, listen and find out!  In the news we talk Roll Out Roll Call in th...

WOJM Special Edition #27: RETALIATION IS HERE!

March 27, 2013 04:31 - 1 hour - 70 MB

First off... SPOILER ALERT We're not kidding.  If you listen to this and you don't like spoilers BEFORE you see the movie, then its YOUR fault.  We recorded this a few weeks ago just hours after our man in the UK, Dave Tree, got to see an advance preview of GI Joe Retaliation.  While the details were fresh in his mind, he joined Justin and Gary to give his full, no holds barred report of the film.  You patiently waited THREE years since Rise of Cobra AND on top of that, ANOTHER NINE MONTH d...

WOJM Special Edition #26: WOJM on the Red Carpet in London!

March 23, 2013 16:26 - 1 hour - 58.4 MB

As of late, when most of us think of Retaliation and the color red, we think of how much of a knock out Adrianne Palicki looks in that red dress she is seen wearing in the trailers.  Well, red means something else when it comes to worldwide premiere's of movies, it means the RED CARPET.  Paramount UK afforded an opportunity for our man in the UK, Dave Tree, to attend the premiere and get a spot on the side of the carpet, we couldn't pass it up.  Throw in an exclusive interview with Director J...

Yes, its another near 3 hour epic. This time the ENTIRE team is back in action as we are joined by Carson from 3DJoes.com, but not before hearing from Sunbow legend, the voice of Lady Jaye herself (and maybe your car's nav system), Mary McDonald-Lewis! She'll be at JoeCon along with Justin, Mike and Gary so you will be hearing from her again, we are sure. Sit back and take a trip down memory lane as Mary tells us how important Lady Jaye is to her and what's she's currently up to in Hollywo...

Episode 73: What’s on JOE Mind?

February 17, 2013 21:32 - 2 hours - 143 MB

The guys are back, surviving Winter Storm Nemo and Toy Fair. Before jumping into the coverage, we play our pre-recorded interview of the Renegades voice of Ripcord, Khary Payton.

Episode 72: What’s on JOE Mind?

February 02, 2013 20:32 - 1 hour - 109 MB

This is a bit of minor milestone episode.  It is our 100th combined episode we have recorded, produced and published!  While we still have a long way to go for our 100th regular episode, these milestones don't come often and there is no guarantee we will be around for Episode 100 so we give thanks and mark the occasion nevertheless.  This episode we are joined by Ed Lydon, the handchosen (by Chuck) winner of the FOC logo contest.  Standing in for Justin, who was under the weather, is CardedHe...

WOJM: The “Lost” Episodes #3

February 02, 2013 03:50 - 10 minutes - 9.16 MB

Rough day, eh?  Kinda ironic this is all happening, AGAIN, and it's on Groundhog Day Eve.  I feel like we've all been here before.  Well, maybe we can take some of the ease off with this Lost Episode.  It has been a while since we've posted a lost episode, so let us fill you in on what they are.  From time to time we are asked to record a segment for another show.  Since we put the same amount of effort into a 10 minute show as we would a 90 minute show, we toss the file into the media archiv...

Episode 71: What's on JOE Mind?

January 23, 2013 02:36 - 3 hours - 171 MB

At just over 3 hours, this epic clocks in as our second longest episode ever. It's hard to believe we've never done a 3 hour podcast before, but you asked for it, therefore, you got it. MOAR WOJM! Think of it as a 3 course meal. Your appetizer is a marathon interview with Distinguished Author, Mark Bellomo. We cover things from the short comings of the hobby today and even dive into a little Monster High - not that we went in depth on that one, but is was brought up to prove a point. Fr...

December 11, 2012 15:38 - 49 minutes - 45.3 MB

Call him what you want... A snob, an elitist, selfish, whatever, but Gary REALLY likes his get aways. Imagine his surprise, after years of discouraging the club from placing the Con in his hometown (an event that would make any other Hoosier collector REALLY happy), that his efforts were in vain. Yes folks, JoeCon hits the lower midwest in the first time since...well, EVER. As much as Gary didn't want the con in Indianapolis, he is proud of his state and city. Along with Mike, who is als...
