| 0:00.0 | Seven days a week, three and six, five days a year doing that. |
| 0:03.0 | I know you're young, but you're going to weigh yourself out, my guy. |
| 0:06.2 | It's going to be tough. What's good. |
| 0:30.1 | Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of the Newsomlympian. |
| 0:32.9 | My name is Mike Schubert. |
| 0:33.8 | I'm the titular Newsomelampian. |
| 0:35.1 | I'm the 33-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid. I read them as an adult because I was in a quest to determine if society had been sleeping on that book series. I said, yes, I'm taking a break from doing the Heroes of Olympus books to now see, is society currently sleeping on the TV show? And at least by the numbers, I don't think so. Things are looking good, but what's also looking good is this season. And I'm very excited about this episode, not only because it was a really fun episode, possibly my favorite so far, but it's basically the Luke episode. So we had to get the Luke experts in the field on the pod. It's Emily and Phoebe for Monster Donut. Team, how's it going? |
| 1:11.8 | Going well. I am delighted to have you here. And I'm also delighted that we can now end |
| 1:17.1 | almost a year-long streak of not talking about how we went to set. Oh, my God. We did it. We did it. |
| 1:24.3 | We, against all odds, didn't talk about it. Disney can't attack us with their very scary NDA. We did a live show where the chapters were about Vancouver and we didn't reveal. And we towed the line where I very intentionally asked you, have you ever been to Vancouver before? And it was hilarious. Everyone go back and listen to that episode. |
| 1:46.1 | Important context was that live show was like a week after week up. |
| 1:50.9 | Yes. |
| 1:52.1 | It was so quickly after. |
| 1:54.7 | We were like reading the chapters on the plane because Phoebe and I forgot they went to Vancouver in those chapters. |
| 2:00.2 | And we literally burst out laughing on the plane and then couldn't tell you why because that would be a spoiler. |
| 2:07.1 | Yeah. And then we got to laugh about it later when we did the show. But yeah, I remember Clears Day your faces when you were like, what chapters are we doing again? And I was like, the two of you like locked eyes. And I was like, oh, hmm, must be something fun. |
| 2:19.8 | And then, yeah, just perfect. |
| 2:21.8 | But yes, we're going to talk about episode three. |
| 2:24.5 | Obviously, we will be the most annoying, like, you know, in my old school kind of thing. |
| 2:31.0 | Because we're going to be, at least I'm going to be ready to mention every single instance of something that we saw on set. When I'm watching these episodes, I'm like, |
| 2:39.3 | oh, I saw that thing. Oh, I remember that thing. I would be the worst to watch this with. But |
| 2:44.6 | let's just get into a beat by beat for episode three because there's so much to discuss. And it |
