| 0:30.0 | They don't reflect the thoughts, opinions, prayers. Wow, I've knew this really poorly. |
| 0:33.9 | You're out of practice. You don't have to say it anymore. I know, I know Newst Olympian. I am a grown man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid, but I read them as an adult because I was on a quest to determine if society had been sleeping on that book series. I said yes, and now I'm seeing if society has also been sleeping on the Heroes of Olympus series. And I'm joined today by a very special guest, someone who is beloved on the podcast and hasn't been on in a minute. Here with me in the auxiliary shoeboe in a steamy closet, it's Dr. parra dr stephen parra how's it going dude it's |
| 1:31.0 | so good i'm ecstatic to have you back on the pod we've had a fun morning hanging out with the baby |
| 1:36.6 | we put the baby down for a nap and now we are podcasting under a time crunch can we finish before the |
| 1:43.2 | baby wakes up or at least get through this chapter. The goal is let's at least get through chapter 25 before the baby wakes up. And then we'll see about doing the next chapter because Kelly should return. But this is parenting. This is podcasting. And this is Percy Jackson. Now, we've added a new guest question since you've last been on, which is if there was a cabin devoted to you, if there was cabin Stephen, what would the architectural design of the cabin be? Architectural design of the cabin. I think what I've gone familiar is, like you also have to pick which camp it's in. Is that like a thing or is it like? i don't think anyone's done that yet i think they've |
| 2:18.3 | just kind of like described what the cabin would look like uh cool i'd be a camp half blood cool |
| 2:23.3 | that's i've just i've could you imagine me doing military drills i just can't you know i just |
| 2:28.0 | anyways i've had time to think about this okay and by that i mean i've spent like 15 minutes |
| 2:32.5 | thinking about it look that's enough yes but i feel spent like 15 minutes thinking about it. Look, that's enough. Yes. |
| 2:53.4 | But I feel like, like a lot of wood tones. Some like some metal stuff kind of in there, kind of like industrialist stuff, but like fun. The cabin would be kind of positioned along the lake where we try to get a good cross breeze going. Ooh. Okay, okay. I'm thinking like wrap around porch, lots of rocking chairs are just nice, comfy things to sit in, a lot of end tables. |
| 2:51.1 | You can just kind of be outside, get a nice breeze, definitely lime trees. For those that don't know, I eat a lot of limes. Yes. And you may have said, people don't eat limes. Stephen eats limes. Yes, that's also true. He will put them in his water and then afterwards, eat the lime rind and all. |
| 3:10.0 | Yeah, that is true. |
| 3:13.4 | I don't know if I was expecting to be this vulnerable on this podcast. |
| 3:16.7 | Look, man, you said, you said I eat a lot of limes. |
| 3:19.3 | I know. |
| 3:19.8 | You got to tell the full tale. |
