Fan-favorite Lev Novak (@levnovak) returns to Odyssey as he takes the lads on adventures through the Old Testament, household budgeting, and the art of running for mayor of Odyssey.

You have got to get lev back
I will NOT tolerate Tim Rice slander when Groundhog’s Day slaps so hard
Tim Minchin did Groundhog Day and it does, indeed, slap.
I figured out the joke with the two agents :/ it’s Frank Ernest and Burt Furter instead of Frank Furter and Burt Ernest :/ it’s just a shitty switcharoo :/
I'm really enjoying the "What if Nightvale but in Odyssey?" Ads. Anyone else kinda want a full episode of them
Just noticed Jacob is saying what Ursula says to Ariel in the little mermaid basically line by line in the birthright scene
That’s what I thought too, and then 30 seconds later they bring up King Triton voices Issac!! I’ve connected the dots!
As someone just entering their 8th year of a PhD, Yes a calling will ruin you
Oh wow, people still liking this comment from over year ago. I graduated at the end of that year, and now I do really useful important work. I'm also financially ruined
Wait, did Jack just offer them Rocky Road? A FOURTH ice cream flavor? He really is a better whit.
I'm really interested to read The Devil's Bible once it comes out, it sounds fascinating!
Was the “toxic gossip train” singalong spontaneous?! 🤣
yep
I can’t believe y’all actually talked about jerkmate ads 😂 that had me crying
Weirdly I woke up the other morning thinking about Jerry Edgebiter for some reason, and now here's a callback to his appearance.
As a baby biblical scholar, I love this episode! Another bit of the Jacob and Esau story that’s worth mentioning is that Rachel literally tells “Jacob give me children, or I will die,” and Jacob snaps back with “who do you think I am, God?” Is there an episode on Elijah you could have lev back on for ? Bc that man (and the book of kings in general) is wild
I was listening to the Worst of All Possible Worlds and an episode of Dave Ramsey broke out
hyped for josh's ukulele apology
"the hits from 1953-1962" is the most dire & scariest detail of the whole interstitial. actual shivers
you think grievin' steven is grieving his brother but actually his mind is broken from the cumulative hours of exposure to frankie valli
i always love the easter eggs in the interstitials
Oh shit. More Whit! I've been loving the summer output you lovely lovelies and this is exactly what I need to get through my day. Thanks for being great.
Alright Lev! I'm sold. I want to read your book 🤣 Also the racism thing - Two Feminists Annotate the Bible mentioned this one in this story as well as a few others you reference as well and it's just wild. Glad to hear Lev mentioning it again.
