AiO Thought of the Week

Age is truly just a foreign concept in Odyssey and there are no true answers but here are my headcannons:

Katrina is older than Eugene from somewhere to a few months upto a year and a half.

Eugene was 17-18 when he was hired at Whit’s End but is widely assumed to be older because of his voice and academic level but he 100% looked his age.

The writers said on the official pod Jay's age is a dependent variable. So I think when Jay is hanging out with Zoey, Buddy, or any of the other middle schoolers he is 13/14. With the rare exception, Jay is otherwise 17 however his appearance is still skued toward the 13/14.(this might be because of his height but that's a different headcannon) These numbers only apply to album 58 and beyond before that he is younger and is more consistent in age.

Jason is in his 40s.

Connie still hasn't quite reached her 30s but is almost there. I know she's still earning her degree but if Eugene is any indication 10yrs is not an unreasonable amount of time for a degree from CCCC. Plus I think she's swapped majors like 3 times.

Eugene and Katrina are very early 30s

Whit despite being born in 1925/26 is an ageless being of perpetual Eldersness and is therefore older than anyone in a given room and yet, still possess the ability to out-manuver the authorities both physically and mentally

Jack and Wilson are also ageless beings but not on Whit's level.

Tom lived just out of town and so aged normally, I guess. I have no evidence but I feel like he was born in 1931.

Bernard despite being one of the original "old men that make up Connie’s friend group" is good decade or so younger than Tom and Whit, still way older than Connie though.

Just jumped into the 1000 Episode Fan Art link and grabbed Episode 334, The Final Conflict! I have a solid idea for The Final Conflict fanart entry, and I really hope FotF likes it! I grew up with some of the Odyssey cartoons, but it was the Blackgaard Chronicles that got me into the radio program and made me realize that the world AiO takes place in is much larger than the cartoons suggested. And in my opinion, The Blackgaard Chronicles is about hope and despair: Some of the characters are full of hope (Whit, Jack, Jason, etc), Eugene and Richard are somewhere in the middle given their experiences with forgiveness and redemption, and then there's the arc's namesake, who's full of despair (Blackgaard).

To me, Dr. Blackgaard in The Final Conflict is what you get when despair enters a morally broken soul. He wants eternal life, but without the Jesus part, because that would mean changing himself, and that bothers him more than he lets on. I want my piece to convey that brokenness, not enough to concern FotF and be denied, but just enough to show what despair looks like.

And yeah, I'm probably overthinking this arc to a degree, but whenever I hear Earl Boen's performance in the Final Conflict, the word 'despair' tends to come to mind.

call for submissions: whit’s wicked deeds

i have been challenged in my recent assertion that john avery “whit” whittaker torments children and/or the Woke, up to and including sending them to hell itself. please post instances of times where whit has reigned terror down upon his enemies, preferably including episode numbers

i will start: in episodes 211-212 “the mortal coil,” eugene enters an imagination station program based on whit’s ideological priors and built to simulate the afterlife, so of course being a non-believer he goes directly to hell

Sooo, I was listening to The Mysterious Stranger again, and like, why the beans was Whit so dismissive of Kenneth grabbing Connie hard enough to bruise her?!

Like, in other episodes Whit is ready to go to war for Connie for way less, but when a twenty-eight year old mentally disturbed man grabs high school aged Connie while she’s alone at the shop, and responsible for the wellbeing of the kids, he acts like she’s making a big deal over nothing?!?!!?

As someone who’s been grabbed hard enough to bruise, and who bruises easily anyway, it takes so much force and it’s painful, and I really think it’s an example of Christian men being dismissive of the trauma that women experience and that they consider unimportant

Plus, when he scoffs at Connie showing it to him, that’s incredibly damaging to hear, and even if it’s not something that matters in the moment, it’s very easy to internalize that a bruise isn’t important

I will never get over the fact that in the year of our lord, 2022, Adventures In Odyssey made the half your age + 7 rule cannon 😂

I love it when Odyssey is smashing stereotypes:

Connie: comes to Odyssey as a 16 year old Californian girl with ✨daddy issues✨ and the first thing she does is get a stable job at the most respectable place in town, she doesn’t get into any crazy or toxic relationships (and in fact she only has like 2-ish guys she dates), and then she becomes valedictorian.

Whit: starts out almost-stereotypical (but in the best way) as a nice old ice cream shop owner who loves tinkering, but then BAM outta nowhere he’s a spy with a spy son and a spy grandson and he can take down terrorists—all without it being cheesy somehow

Jason: somehow he’s as cool as James Bond even though half the time (I love him so much I swear but-) he’s so incompetent, he gets kidnapped all the time and does so much just for “the aesthetic”, he’s such a dork wrapped in James Bond packaging

Jay Smouse: starts out as a stereotypical school bully, but then Odyssey makes you sympathize/empathize with him WITHOUT giving him a crappy sad backstory, but instead they do it through good character development and some comedy

There are so many more examples but those are the ones I thought of off the top of my head, if any of you have more ideas feel free to put them here!

AiO thought of the Week

If there is one thing we know about Whit it's that he's rich and if there is one thing I know about rich people is that they get stuff named after them. Mr. Whittaker is a fairly modest person of course so he might insist on anonymity but even if he does I don't think that would extend to his loved ones. For example imagine you live in the Odyssey universe an you go over to your local VA hospitals, would it be unreasonable to see the Jerry Whitaker wing?

#Jenny basically co-founded Whit's End so she better at least have a memorial bench out side. #adventures in odyssey #john whittaker #john avery whittaker #jerry whittaker #Jenny Whitaker

Whits Endless Summer and the lore and the commercials have entirely rewritten my brain chemistry and now im including stuff into my tabletop game related to it

So lovely to hear, thank you so much! We love doing those episodes and A.J. especially loves making those interstitials, so, it's always great to hear when people dig them too. Lorne Lagorium forever!

I always forget how hilarious it is that Andromeda honeypots Whit with Mary

Like, he sees her and immediately thinks of his Jenny, so I just love imagining Mr. Charles and Arthur Dent pouring over all these profiles of people whose companies they own to find the perfect old woman to throw at him
