Episode 266: Off-Duty Activities with Ryan Sweeney Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

The boys have Ryan Sweeney join the fray to talk about what GI Joe and Cobra do for fun...

Ryan's been a welcome voice in the community and a real champion of all things Joe (and Joburg) from the early days. It's an absolute pleasure to have him join the show to talk about weird collecting urges and Joes and Cobras goofing off.

Ryan has a YouTube channel! The Island of Misfit Toy Collectors: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCedCCF2_i_QKh-0C9HguXvQ
