165 - The Hunt for Red OctobWhittaker (feat. Tom Walker) [Whit’s Endless Summer 40]
Added 2024-11-20 07:45:01 +0000 UTC
Tom Walker (Tom Walker: Very, Very) joins the lads for his very first trip to Odyssey as they cover adventures in shock-jock DJing, international espionage, and the return of everybody’s favorite encyclopedia writing, ice-cream selling, NSA asset/God King of Odyssey: John Avery Whittaker. Topics include biblical trading cards, the logistics of owning a beef jerky co-op, and how to make propaganda that doesn’t inspire a life-long obsession with hunting down heretical texts.

Tasha is a prime example of the hedonistic boss babe bitch that is one of two major female character tropes in odyssey (also see Margaret Faye, ironically a Christian but not quite the “right kind” and far too money/power hungry). I actually like the dynamic between her and Jason in these episodes because it’s coming off their almost marriage and kinda breakup because Tasha isn’t a Christian, still very stilted but definitely ominous of an eventual breakup.
Oh, ya, the other women be shopping, submissive, soap opera addicted, and dead???

my role in the beef jerky commune is making an unconscionable amount of "meat" and "jerk" puns

Coming very late here, but the Phil Loller doing a racist accent bit is almost a word-for-word read of Peter Lorre's character and lines in Maltese Falcon.

I have actually been traumatized by Weird Al Yankovic. 10 minutes after the end of You Don't Love Me Anymore on the CD for Off the Deep End is a six second clip of horrible sounds and screaming. I suffer from a form of parasomnia which sits at the intersection of sleepwalking and sleep paralysis: I have vivid multisensory hallucinations with my eyes open, but I am totally able to move. Thankfully, because my eyes are open I wake up when exposed to light. Unfortunately, being able to move in the instance when one is, for example, woken into a night terror by horrible screaming, can lead to instances of, let's say, falling down a flight of stairs as you flee a Ditty-esque (Dittian?) monstrosity.

so today’s QAA goes into the tucker demon attack interview, and it turns out that the interviewer runs the First Things foundation…
…which seems to be distinct from the First Things journal. Weird to learn about two separate evangelical organizations called First Things in the same week though.

The number of times I've watched multi-degree doctors at the absolute top of their field struggle to understand how microphones work made the whole "the tape is backwards" thing fully believable to me

I would like you to know that as someone going through the grieving process right now, I was not prepared for this episode's commercial. it was incredible, but God did y'all have to devastate me so hard? always a highlight 💕

I wasn’t expecting the Irish accents in the commercial, but based on my frame of reference of my cousins from Dublin, you did pretty well!

I grew up in an evangelical church too. I've grown to, at best, side eye organized religion, but evangelicalism in particular is such a horrific and emotionally abusive cult. I hate it so much.

I was too emotionally devastated to see that bit of backwards tape coming. Anyone know what it says?

So yeah... I was the weird kid who grew up in regional Australia going to a fundamentalist evangelical church.
For a special treat, our youth group would occasionally go to Planetshakers or Youth Alive where I swear I would break down under the emotional manipulation and 'convert' to Christianity all over again having convinced myself I'd fallen out of favour with God.
Our local Christian radio station played Adventures in Odyssey weekly after 7pm and you could get the books and tapes from the Word Christian book shop in the nearby town.

For my own sanity I’ve chosen to believe the story about the staffers listening to Odyssey is a lie told to butter up a FOTF stooge and uncritically repeated to make the organisation look more influential. Anything else makes me want to walk into the ocean

as the grandchild of a beef cattle farmer I will carry on the family tradition in our jerky commune (nurturing our jerky until josh slaughters it, inevitably pitting us against each other)

Hit the interstitial, I just want to say that while I enjoy the analysis a lot, I fucking LIVE for the interstitial at this point. The accent was grating (sorry AJ, but any Yank doing an Irish accent will grate) but it was still absolutely fantastic.

Cool, I'm also having this problem today. Oddly another show I listened to, published an episode after this one this morning, and that did show up.

Due to my location I would be the sole employee in the shell company allowing the jerky co-op to avoid paying any taxes by laundering the money.
