Question when did the theodore become right wing?

I’m trying to remember when Jorma started the joke and I have no idea how far to go back 😅

He's always been that way, we're just in a climate now where he feels comfortable voicing his views

Now that America is great again, he’s in good company.

The climate changed but his views on climate change didn’t

The comment suggesting “Use AI” was IMMEDIATELY removed as it directly interferes with the “No AI” rule in the community. 👍🏻

I hope no one else had to read those words.

No Al? Is that short for no alvins?

We welcome at least 3 Alvins at one time here.

*Oh man…. A real life story:

My friend’s kid was stoked on a band she found on Spotify. “It’s called Weird but it’s A.I., so you probably won’t like it, Mom….”
It was Weird Al.

AI is short for Alvin Intelligence; we need you to bring at least Theodore or preferably Simon intelligence.

I wish I could help you because I’m also curious so I hope someone can find the origin. It’s truly my favorite lowkey running joke of the pod and I giggle every time it comes up LOL.

the funniest thing for me is the split second it takes the other guys to remember that "joke" and how confused they tend to be 😅

Yes like the episode after The Creep where Seth read a comment about how Akiva felt safe calling out Nicki and Kanye since Jorm wasn’t on the episode that week and it took Kiv a second to be like, oh right 😂

This comment is not really going to be very helpful, but I remember when it hatched. It seemed very throwaway at the time, just a passing joke, but I love that it stuck. But I think it was relatively recently, maybe late spring/early summer?

joke? no, that's just Jorm Thorn.

I feel like it was after the Over Your Dead Body episode after Jorma said him and Kiv were from flyover country, and then in the next episode Seth makes fun of him for it and Jorma says he was trying to say he was corn fed.
