Thank you so much for tuning into another episode of the newest Olympian.

1:04.9

My name is Mike Schuber.

1:05.7

I'm the titular Newst Olympian.

1:07.2

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

1:10.5

I read them as an adult because I was on a quest to determine if this was a book series that society had been sleeping on. I said yes. And now I'm seeing if society has also been sleeping on the Heroes of Olympia series. But I'm not on this quest alone. I'm never on this quest alone today.

And I'm excited to see exactly which portion. Hopefully, it wasn't the portion that we already covered in Switzerland. If so, I'm sorry.

2:27.3

No, it's not. Thankfully, I am annoying. So I constantly message you being like, hey, is chapter 13 still available? Chapter 13 is still available? And you're like, hey, half of it is. I'm like, I'll take it. Yeah. It was basically just, and this is always hard when folks ask for stuff far in advance. It's like, in theory, yes, but also with touring sometimes, it's like, well, I don't have enough time to do any other episode. We're doing this on the road. So I'm glad it
