2 Whits 1 Cup: A Queer Adventures in Odyssey Podcast

It’s Pride Month, so that means it’s time to discuss Adventures in Odyssey! This week, the G in LGBTQ stands for glamorous grief girlies because we’re spending a lot of time with our queen, Connie Kendall, as she continues to process the loss of Mitch in PLAN B, PART 4: RESISTANCE. But like, we’re going to be funny and insightful.  This is the first half of what ended up being more than three hour...

Get out your best going-out pantsuits, gaywads, because this week it’s time for the Odyssey Gay Bar Wingman Challenge! Pigeon is out of commission, so Percy and Parsnip take center stage to ask the question that haunts every Adventures in Odyssey fan: Which character would make the best wingman at a gay bar?  Discussion topics include: -WTF is porridge anyway? -9/11 -Dogs: The Musical, featuring t...

It’s ladies night this week because we’re obsessed with Connie Kendall and Monica Stone, who take center stage in PLAN B, PART 3: CROSSFIRE, episode 15 of Adventures in Odyssey’s Novacom story arc. Oh, but also, this episode is very sad because Mitch … Mitch is dead. So, we’re going to talk a lot about grief, but we’ll make many, many sillies along the way. And prepare yourself, because Percy has...

Pigeon finally liked an episode of Adventures in Odyssey! That’s because we’re covering Plan B, Part 2: Collision Course, the 14th episode (and halfway point!) of the Novacom story arc. Hold onto your jockstraps, girlies, because this one is where it gets dark and devastating.  Discussion topics include: -Our experience representing Team USA in soccer at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City...

Wait, what’s that? Can you hear it in the distance? They’re wedding bells! Eugene and Katrina get married in PLAN B, PART 1: MISSING IN ACTION, the 13th episode of Adventures in Odyssey’s Novacom saga! And we are FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT!  Discussion topics include: -We will NEVER forget Marshall Younger -Our dream Adventures in Odyssey tattoos -Eugene and Katrina’s first time -Rock music is evil, bu...

This week, it’s all about Mitch’s smokin' hot feet as we dive into SECRETS, the 12th episode of Adventures in Odyssey’s Novacom Saga. Oh, also, Connie is trying to figure out if she can trust Mitch. We talk a bit about tennis, so naturally, Percy gets us super sidetracked multiple times (though not necessarily about tennis). Discussion topics include: -The staple gun to the scroty eppy of King...

In GRAND OPENING, PART 2, Snip and Pigeon SWOON over Mitch, and Percy and Snip FREAK OUT over Mr. Charles. Pigeon spends most of the episode judging Snip and Percy. Discussion topics include: -Laura and Barbara Bush scissoring together -Horse dinner? -How to have fun while bowling without losing your self-respect -Mitch plans the best dates -There is nothing more romantic than salami #adventuresin...

Whit and Mary scissor — er, I mean, they share a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon at Whit’s End Connellsville in the opening scene of GRAND OPENING, PART 1. AREM comes back (also, he's a Latino musician!), we find Mitch's first-ever flaw, and we get to meet Larry (the human, not the cucumber). Discussion topics include: -9/11 -The Ceaucescu dictatorship of Romania -We still hate Mary -Do...

We’re back from our unannounced, unexpected, and unnoticed mental health hiatus (we got sad). It’s time to get into album 37 with STRANGE BOY IN A STRANGE LAND! Mandy and Sarah are on a camping trip, but their trip gets interrupted when they stumble upon the previously missing Jared, Odyssey’s gay Alex Jones. We learn a bit about Andromeda — and as a result, Percy and Snip relive some childhood tr...

We weirdly and genuinely liked a few different scenes of BREAKING POINT, the last episode of Album 36: Danger Signals. Whit’s End is criminally understaffed, Wooton sweeps us off our feet, Mary is “aggressively anti-child,” and we have a wonderful conversation about crafting good apologies, dealing with guilt after participating in harmful evangelical systems, and knowing when to take responsibili...

Is this the most racist episode of Adventures in Odyssey? Well, we don’t really know, but it was bad enough that we had to bring on a special guest (Panda!) to help us discuss CHAINS. Whit stalks and kidnaps a pair of children after he demolishes their home for his own financial gain, Mary says a bunch things that get her shipped off to Cancelvania, and we learn that the Adventures in Odyssey writ...

It’s time for Part 2 of our accidentally but unavoidably long eppy about GREEN EYES AND YELLOW TULIPS. Whit bumbles his way into a protest that turns violent, Joanne is craving the hot tea about Connie and Mitch, and this conservative evangelical organization is going to try to teach us about not judging others (?). Discussion topics include: -Jan. 6 -Should non-Christians have civil rights? -Meg...

Today, we’ve got Part 1 of an absurdly long conversation about GREEN EYES AND YELLOW TULIPS, the fifth episode of the Novacom saga. We get to meet Mitch, our bisexual king; Whit and Bart Rathbone have unresolved tension from their unforeseen previous sexual liaison; and in the last 30 minutes, we have a funny and really heartfelt conversation that’s a bit out of character for us. Discussion topics...

John Avery Whittaker is a diaper baby! That’s what the GAYng discovers on this week’s poddy eppy, THE W.E. Whit has a tantrum because he (an adult) isn’t the most popular gal at Odyssey Middle School, and he makes it everyone else’s problem. Discussion topics include:  -9/11 -The Tower of Babel is canonically sexy -Should we base our self-acceptance on the opinions of children? -TobyMac’s “Diverse...

It’s time for episode 3 of the Novacom saga: NOVA RISING! Bernard falls in love with an electric pencil sharpener, Whit is a bad friend, and Cal and Alex get fired from their first job because they're children who can't handle an office setting. The Adventures in Odyssey episode itself kinda sucks, but we have a great time fellowshipping with one another regardless. Discussion topics inclu...

The poddy-pals are back for Episode 2! Did we need to do two hours about RED HERRING, the second chapter of the Novacom story arc? Probably, because it’s wild, and we get to meet AREM! Discussion topics include: -9/11 -Internet safety for kids (2000 version) -Abe Lincoln vs. Clay Aiken -Is curiosity bad? -Little Rascals -Drinking root beer through a dirty sock -Are cell phone scanners real? -Seein...

The gang gets the podcast ball rolling with OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, episode 457 of Adventures in Odyssey and the first chapter in the Novacom story arc. Discussion topics include: -Whit and Tom's gay love affair -9/11 -The power (?) of prayer -Does ACAB apply to private investigators? -Is it gay to care about nutrition? -Jazz, kind of -It's always Connie Kendall's fault -Arthur Dent is cod...
