The lads make their long-awaited pilgrimage to the rotten heart of the evangelical project, Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs, CO, to cover the 1000th episode celebration of Adventures in Odyssey. Topics include the horrific vibes, Adventures in Odyssey trading cards, and what it means to watch a corpse of an organization come together to celebrate their own slow, inevitable demise.

The Eugene ai genuinely just utterly ruined my day. Absolutely disgusting. Gross in general, but especially being used for the actor who went on a fucking four year union strike is despicable

Hi! I'm just catching up on old episodes since joining the Patreon - are the photos from this show posted anywhere? They sound like they should *not* be missed. Thanks!

Just want to confirm I found your show through the Eugene Lot tweet and have now listened to the entirety of Whit’s Endless Summer in two weeks or whatever. I am healed.

This was incredible. Please please please tell me this isn't the end of Whit's Endless Summer! I know AIO is horrible to listen to but yall's commentary on the episodes are so therapeutic (and hilarious!) 😅

Disappointed that me booing AJ's Horn Corner didn't come through.
Great show y'all, glad I got to see it

Y'all's musical interludes bring me such sincere joy, I am awed by the amount of effort y'all put into this podcast

A.J., you've been told this so many ways already but I wanted to say, at the risk of overstating harm AiO is one of those hurt-people-hurt-people things where the most effective cure is to inflict the poison on someone naïve. Your horror and disgust are reasonable and sane and in that way it's like fresh water diluting this horrible brackish thing that's choking the roots of me and so many other listeners. I know you're willing to subject yourself to it but all the same I want to take the opportunity to echo Brian and offer my sincere apologies. This shit is really toxic and I'm grateful to you for what you provide for us by wading into it like this.

Hearing that some of the kids at the show were rowdy was kind of a shock. Hopefully it means most of those parents haven't read Dare to Discipline

I think Sonic the Hedgehog reviewed the entire genre? I believe he said:
"That's no good!"

If anyone would care to go down the rabbit hole, "inspirational" romance is the publishing subgenre you want. You're welcome / I'm so sorry

since the episode where you guys discussed wooton's origin, i've been thinking about torry martin and his whole thing of being a perpetual bachelor who describes himself as "married to jesus". his instagram features a lot of pictures with friends, but his "best friend" rob is a notable recurring presence. just thought that was interesting.

Aw man, not surprised to hear about the AI shit. I'm wondering if they'll just do that after current Whit is gone

Denver International Airport cultivates the conspiracy theories to cover up the truth. There was a billion dollar screwup in their first constructed automated baggage system, leading to all the wierd abandoned liminal spaces in the building.

The place sounds like an evangelical tourist trap. When you describe the kid meltdowns, the image I’m getting in my head is basically Max at Lester’s Possum Park from A Goofy Movie.

I’m picturing pulling off mascot Whit’s head and there is just a smaller whit costume underneath like a matryoshka doll.

Figured it was an oversight, because the photos were clearly taken to avoid recognizable faces. Just wanted to make sure it was sorted. :)
Go sleep!

Thank you for letting us know, that was an outdated deck! It has been removed and we'll post an updated deck soon!

Love that you posted the photos, but maybe pull them for now and blur the faces of any kids? I know if I'd been there I'd thank you for it.

Did you boys do anything actually fun in my second hometown other than the live show?

Oh, Christian romance is HUGE (like Eugene). I work in a library in a rural state and they can't get enough of it, especially Amish romance (yes, non Amish people love to fetishize the Amish). Also period romances. I flipped through one by a very popular author and found a 20 yr old man thinking about marrying a 14 yr old once she was "of age." *vomit sounds*

Those pics are something else.

if your family is from the USSR it means you could convince like at least 1 dad that focus on the family is woke now by saying "how come my country doesnt get to be up there but north korea does" and then not say which country
