Like very much more like romance kind of language and they're like the chisel, perhaps, like sweat, glistened.

Okay, glistening always fides away. What's good?

Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of The Newest Olympian.

My name is Mike Schumer.

I'm the titular Newst Olympian.

I'm a 33-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid.

I read them as an adult because I was on a quest to determine if society had been sleeping on the series. I said yes. And now I'm seeing if society has also been sleeping on the Heroes of Olympus series. And I am joined today by a very special guest, someone who you've heard on this podcast many a time before. And I'm glad to have them back. You may have also seen their wonderful bookish content or now their game streaming content. It's Joel Rochester, aka fictional fates. Joel, how's it going? Hello, I'm doing very well, thank you. Thank you so much for having me on the podcast again. I'm so excited to talk about everything, son of Neptune today. Yeah, I'm excited. I think the last time we had you on was that when we had the reveal of Jason's last name being Grace and by Grace, I mean Derulo. Yes. Okay. And fell down the stairs and all of that good stuff. Yeah, of course. Yes. Oh, man. So that was very fun. These chapters are very fun. Things are getting intense. We're getting towards the end of this book, which it's ramping up. The big fight is on. Oh, yeah. We're on the doorstep of

the final fight. So let's get into it really quickly before we do. We've got a new guest

question that you've not answered yet. So if you had a different riptide, like you have an

inanimate object that turns into another inanimate object, doesn't have to be a sword because

maybe swords aren't as useful in your daily life. What would your different riptide be? See, I feel like

this is a use case, not for me specifically, because I can't drive, but I feel like it would be good

for like everyone. If it's like a ring that you can just like throw out and then it isn't like a car.

Man, that would be good.

And I would support legislation where everyone had one of these because then we wouldn't

need parking spaces.
