Amusement Park of Terror

It’s the final episode of the main series and we’re going out like we came in: by mocking Ray! Plus we go through every graduation song from Gina’s very specific 1998-2003 period as she tries to get us all to commit suicide.

Battle on the Roof of the World

Started from the bottom, now we’re here on the Roof of the World! Lady Jaye’s come prepared with a Thanksgiving dinner javelin, Roadblock’s contribution is endless references (we think) to his dick, and laser hockey! Plus! Talk of swinging makes Ray wildly uncomfortable, Gina imagines G.I. Joe as a CW show, and Chan doesn’t understand how selling off the third piece of the Weather Dominator makes any sense when all three pieces are required to make the silly thing work.

The Palace of Doom

It’s part three of The Revenge of Cobra and we’ve got three exotic new locales! The Island of No Return! The Top of the World! And the eponymous Palace of Doom! We deal with unfortunate nicknames, racist cats, how easy it is to become a Joe and Ray gets unnecessarily excited over GI Joe robots. Plus, Chan waxes philosophical on the nature of American ninjas and Gina’s into the tender budding romance of giant snake robot and stone god statue.

Vines of Evil

It’s episode 2 of the second original G.I. Joe miniseries and what would an original G.I. Joe miniseries be without an Arena of Sport? It’s back along with a bunch of other cockamamie goodness including energy-reflecting mirrors, some epic-level Destro laughs, and the introduction of Shipwreck! All this plus we learn that G.I. Joe is just fine with leaving a man behind, Chan questions the validity of sandboating on skis, and Darude? Facebook.com/KnowingIsHalfThePodcast Patreon.com/KnowingIsHalfT...

In the Cobra's Pit

The Revenge of Cobra! It’s the second mini-series and the last five episodes of the original episodes, so buckle up. Ray swears this is the best version of the theme song, but nobody cares because Gina is busy trying to touch her elbows behind her back. Destro’s Weather Dominator explanation is word salad (you know - that thing that Ray does) and we debate the necessity of adding creeper vines to your chaotic pits.

A Real American Hero Part Five - A Stake in the Serpent's Heart

The final episode of the first mini-series! We’re back after Chan’s vacation and Ray’s new jobs and Gina mumbled something about butts, so we’re not sure where we are, but on with the show! This episode contains a number very strange sounds which you can hear with your ears. The internet also contains a number of very strange images which you can see with your eyes, but as you will hear, we urge you not to. Please do not because eventually you will google yourself to a place you DO. NOT. WANT. T...

A Real American Hero Part Four - Duel in the Devil's Cauldron

An episode driven by hunger and lack of sleep, we follow the story of The MASS Device to an unnamed South American locale and learn about the science of volcanic eruptions! Ok, not really but we do our best to make sense of it all! Ok, not really but we have a delightful time on the journey! In addition we ask important questions like 'Which would you rather have; A Jet Pack or a Sandwich?' and 'What type of food does Gina find repulsive?' As well as diving deep into the magic of 2 Timbers. All ...

A Real American Hero Part Three - Worms of Death

Fans of the badass ninja known as Snake Eyes will be sorely disappointed by this episode back when he was just a weirdly standoffish commando, but the rest of it holds up surprisingly well! Baroness is delightfully spineless and cunning, the tube worms are genuinely horrifying, and we lose a few good Cobra troops to a disturbingly Major Tom-ish incident. Plus! Learn how Gina will die! Learn which continent Chan will never got to! And find out how many euphemisms for penis we can come up with in ...

A Real American Hero Part Two - Slaves of the Cobra Master

We have Haley Mancini of The Powerpuff Girls on, so naturally we talk about geography. But also G.I. Joe! The Arena of Sport! Mysterious Boston accents! And, of course, plenty of love for Chris Latta. Plus! Cave fuckin’, robots who use comedy props as weapons, and why would you try to talk to Snake Eyes on a walkie talkie? And we learn that it only took Gina close to 80 episodes to recognize the recurring bar music that’s been in almost every episode of the show. Facebook.com/KnowingIsHalfThePod...

A Real American Hero Part One - The Cobra Strikes

At long last, we finally circle back around to watch the *actual* first G.I. Joe episodes, the miniseries “A Real American Hero”! Um … after a brief, seven-minute digression into what “Fear Factor” made Chan eat. Do you like exotic substances? This episode has ‘em! Do you like Baroness and Major Bludd in disguise? This episode has ‘em too! Do you like in-depth discussions of cereal marshmallows and sandwiches? Sadly, this episode also has those. Plus the first neck chop, we play Conan or Giant N...
