THIS IS SO COOL!!! FREE EPISODE!!!
aio listener on December 28th, 2011 - 6:15pm
Ok, this has nothing to do with this post, but i have a question that anyone can answer(if they KNOW the answer).In the episode Never for Nothing, when Quan(please do not laugh at the spelling. I’m not an expert on spanish)says(paraphrasing here)”I wouldn’t want to fall and break my neck like Tomas did last year.Ugh…” and then he says either “messy” or “nasty”.It’s driving me crazy. It sounds like he’s saying messy. but that makes no sense(unless it’s an inside joke of the spanish).
aio listener on December 28th, 2011 - 6:16pm
If anyone knows the answer, that’d be great. Sorry, though, I can’t pay you.:)

Best Episode- “Unbecoming Jay”
Best Scene- Lucia forgiving Juan at Esperanza’s funeral
Best Lesson- “Never for Nothing,” “Wooton Knows Best”, “Anger Mismanagement,” “Childish Things”
Best Quote- Still relistening to Album 54. But probably something from “Unbecomiing Jay.”
JOSH on January 5th, 2012 - 7:56pm
Best New Character-Toss up between Ms. Gretsky and Jacques Henri. Ms. Gretsky appeared for a minute-ish in “You’re Too Kind,” and was for me one of the best parts of that episode. She’s the school cafeteria lady, and she knows a lot about the kids there. She has a great personality, and I think she would be a great addition to the cast. I also researched Tangie Ambrose, the actress who plays her, and she has guest-starred in a variety of series, from adventure to mystery to family-Odysseygenres!

Every time after a new album is done airing on the radio the fans vote for who they think is the best actor, actress, best scene, best episode…and so on and so forth. The awards for each of those things I just listed are called the Avery Awards.

Hey Odyssey, if someone else on the comment line has your name aswell, does odyssey get confused or something?? Because I pressed under, ‘leave a comment’ and there was already a comment there by “Kim” that was waiting moderation, and I definitely hadn’t posted that. And it said I had!! I know non of my family posted it because what they said isn’t true to my family. I am terribly confused, and it was a bit creepy. Could you please get back to me?? THANK YOU!

Odyssey is the best, even in China ( I live in China )!
Rachel on January 15th, 2012 - 4:44pm
I hope I can download this on my computer! It sounds like a good one.
Rachel on January 15th, 2012 - 6:54pm
Great episode! Great job Donna!

I am about to finishe Novacom saga 9 i got it for CHRISTmas) but I already know ALL the answers, good quiz though! NOVACOM IS THE BEST EVER RIGHT!! who agerees, if you agree type “AREM” when you comment, also tell us what your favorite charactor is, mine is either Robyn Jacobs or jack davis, your turn!!
EMILY on January 16th, 2012 - 1:19pm
I love this episode! I have it on tape and it is one of my favorites! I love the part where Donna runs into the snowman. I like Jimmy the best. He’s one of my favorite characters from Odyssey. I like Jay too. I thought it was so cool that one of the characters was named Emily. My name is Emily and I always thought that was cool.
EMILY on January 16th, 2012 - 1:22pm
Oh I really love the episode ‘Hear me, Hear me’. Love that Wooton fellow. He’s like my favorite. I like it when he comes in and says, “oh hi everyone as in Eugene and Connie” and then when he says, “whoa Connie big ears those would require a lot of extra postage!” Ha-ha-ha that one got me laughing…
EMILY on January 16th, 2012 - 1:58pm
I really like the episode, “The Spy Who Bugged Me.” Jared is so halarious in that episode. Is there a video of that one? Oh and I really like that episode about Cody and Jared called “Pushover.” Or is it “The Pushover”? I can’t remember. Anyway, I LOVE the part where the sheep came up and Jared said, “…as in, ‘Mary had a little sheep?” and Cody goes, “that was a lamb.”
I was laughing so hard during that part! I love you Jared!
Tori on January 16th, 2012 - 3:30pm
I have a question about this free episode: is this one for the whole year or will there be a new one in February? If you have an answer for me, post it so I can read it. Thanks.
emily on January 16th, 2012 - 3:34pm
yes I have that question as well. I hope they put a new one on for February. That would be nice!
I love the part in “The Black Veil part 2″ where Cal says “buy our satelite, get a free brain shrivle.” That one was funny.
I can understand why Paul McCusker comes on before this episode (the black veil) and says it’s not for 8-year-olds and younger. It scares me and I’m a 12-year-old!
emily on January 16th, 2012 - 3:35pm
This note is to Chris (is that how you spell it?): I love your enthusiasm before each program and after.
emily on January 17th, 2012 - 1:20pm
I love it where Cal says, “I remember in kindergarten you always colored inside the lines.” Then Alex goes, “Yeah. So?” And Cal says, “I make my own lines.” I have that episode called “Red Herring”. I thought that part was pretty silly.

To “Little Me”: her name was ERICA COLEBURN!!! Just letting you know. You spelled her name wrong by the way too. You’re welcome.

Manic on January 18th, 2012 - 6:16pm
Whoa I just had the biggest freak out time in my life. I looked at the synopsis of this podcast and from some odd reason saw “Donna Barclay has a crush on Bart.” Okay, I know my visions not 20/20, but man, that sure freaked me out! No way should any girl have a crush on Bart Rathbone!

Elwynois on January 18th, 2012 - 6:23pm

Guess what! My dad is flying to Africa tomorrow! He’s going to start an orphanage over there with some other people! So cool!

baylee on January 19th, 2012 - 8:52pm
On Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, Optimus Prime said something very inspirational. Heres what he said: “There may be days where you lose your faith in us. But never lose faith in yourselves.

@ Elwynois: Girl Name: Carmen. Boy Name: Cameron. I like C’s.

I will be praying for your dad, Elwynois. Some of my cousins are in Africa too. I hope your dad has a safe trip to and from Africa. God bless you!!

Elwinois: Cool! I hope he’s succesful! I’ll be praying for him.
Dr yohan s on January 20th, 2012 - 4:36pm
First of all I do not like that family and second…..
just try to find me in Brazil its a big country! HA!!!
Manic on January 20th, 2012 - 6:13pm
Elywnois:
Girl name: uhhh, what does one name a girl? I think I like Bryn or Skylar. I usually like unique names that you don’t hear everyday. Maybe that’s because my best friend(who is a girl!) has a very unique name. She’s named after two of her great-uncles.
Boy name: Matthew, Alexander, or Erik

I am still praying for your dad.
And everyone please pray for my cousins, the Messers and the Cuthbertsons. They are in Cote D’ivoir. Thanks!!
sarah on January 27th, 2012 - 7:34pm
I so agree! Maybe we should have Star Wars themed episode or Pirates of the Caribbean! But don’t wreck it. That would ruin so much for all us fans.
sarah on January 27th, 2012 - 7:44pm
@Baylee, I think your ideas are awesome! Lord Megatron? I thought it was just Megatron. It sounds like we are into just about everything the same!
AREM on January 29th, 2012 - 4:23pm
@ Emily
I was once mouthing the words for Black Veil while listening to it on my MP3 player and right when Cal says “Buy our product get a free brain shrivle” my dad walked in and said “What are you doing?”
Sarah on January 31st, 2012 - 3:48am
@ Arem
It’s funny how that turns out sometimes!
Aio listener on February 1st, 2012 - 1:13pm
SERENA and JENNA,
thanks for your theories on the never for nothing episode, though i still don’t have a definite answer. BTW, I think Quan is actually spelled Huan, or something like that.Yeah, I’m definitely not a Spanish expert. So, Jenna, why do you think he’s saying ‘messy”? I guess i could understand that. Breaking your neck probly IS messy. I mean, if nothing else, it definitely messes up your neck. Great logic, eh?
Aio listener on February 1st, 2012 - 1:20pm
KIM,
Don’t know if anybody answered your question about that comment thing that freaked you out. But, hey, somebody posted a comment asking when album 55 was coming out, and they used MY name. The nerve of them! Thing is, it could have been my own brother or sister.I never asked them. I’m just sayin that someone in your family could’ve posted something using your name. That’s my theory, and it’s JUST a theory. Hope you figure it out.
Aio listener on February 1st, 2012 - 1:27pm
ELWYNOIS,
wow, I see that “tomorrow” is about two weeks ago by now. How’s it goin with your dad? It’s so neat that your dad is helping to start an orphanage in AFRICA!
Ok, right now my favorite names are:
Boy:Cameron
Girl: Sonali

ILOVEJESUS on February 4th, 2012 - 12:15am
I LOVE THIS EPISODE. its so funny
Aio listener on February 4th, 2012 - 12:52pm
Ok, I’ve changed my mind again about the spelling of Quan/Huan. I think it’s actually spelled Juan. For real this time. I’m serious. That’s the correct spelling.
Regollin on February 10th, 2012 - 10:13am
ELWINOIS: Thats so cool your dad is helping an orphanage! My freind from church is with his older brother who is a missionary in Africa for the 3rd year! I might be going there this summer! I can’t wait!
My fave boy name is probably Zandr ( yes that’s a real name! And my favorite girl name is either Skylar or sheyenne.
Elwynois on February 11th, 2012 - 11:05am
Hey everyone! Did you all miss me? While my dad was in Africa, me, my mom, and sisters went to stay with my grandparents, and I didn’t have access to a computer.My ad is home now, and doing great!Thank you all so much for your prayers!! I am so excited about the project my dad is doing. I love all of your names too!I am really into names, so thats why I wanted to know.

Sheyenne: People make fun of your name? That’s wierd. I’v always liked it! But I never heard it spelled Sheyenne. Only Cheyenne, which is the capital of Wyoming I think.

Regollin on February 20th, 2012 - 5:28pm
@ Ilovejustinbieber: I am an antonym of your name. I very much dislike justin bieber. Not just because he sings about love and may have had a kid, but others are always resembling me to him. This one girl once thought I was his twin or something. (Thank you God that I’m not) Even my Dad is calling me justin!
Regollin the I’v got to get away from these crazy people who keep calling my justin bieber and are really anoying me chinchilla. Yes, it’s a really long name
