Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of the Neust Olympian.

1:03.8

My name is Mike Schubert.

1:04.7

I'm the titular Newst Olympian.

1:06.2

I'm a 32-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid.

1:09.2

I've read them as an adult to determine that Yes, Society was sleeping on the PJO books. And now I've moved on to the HOO books to see if society has been sleeping on those as well. And I'm on this quest joined by someone very special because I'm never on this quest alone. I'm joined with someone who you've heard many times on the podcast. And you may have heard at my wedding, given the best man's speech if you were at my wedding. It's Johnny Frolexstein. Johnny, how's it going? It's going great. I presume a lot of your listeners were at your wedding, you know, hiding in the bushes or whatever, right? At least to my knowledge, no, aside from the fact that like some of my close friends and family do listen to the podcast. Hello,

1:48.7

Barb and Joel. Thank you for listening. But we did have to hire a security guy for the wedding.

1:52.9

Did I tell you about this? No, you did not, which I think means they were doing a good job because I didn't notice them. So we did have to hire a security guy for the wedding just because, like,

2:00.2

there was a chance. And like even we had put our

2:02.5

wedding stuff on like a private kind of website thing because for some people you can just like

2:07.6

google someone's name like if they use like the knot or something you could just like google like

So we still put on private, but like the place did just like have a security guard in terms of like, they were like, oh, we offer this. Like would you like to have someone there? And I was like, yeah, like just in case. I've never had a weird listener, audience member interaction thing happened. But I was like, let's not find out that that would be the case on the day of the wedding if someone figured out when it was. Yeah. And then when we got there, the security guy was like an 85 year old man. He wasn't going to do anything. but like maybe he was like a Mike Ermentrout from Breaking Bad style 85 year old man who was like

2:35.9

sneaked. man. He wasn't going to do anything. But like maybe he was like a Mike Erman Trout from

2:51.8

Breaking Bad style 85 year old man who was like sneaky strong. Unfortunately, I didn't tell you about

2:57.3

the super secret Patreon that I launched for all of your listeners. And I hit them all in the bushes
