| 0:00.0 | Ah, this free podcast I like? |
| 0:02.8 | There's going to be more episodes. |
| 0:04.5 | I want there to be less. |
| 0:05.9 | It takes too long. |
| 0:07.5 | What? |
| 0:08.5 | What? What's good. Thank you so much for tuning into another episode of the newest Olympian. My name is Mike Schuber. I'm the titular Newest Olympian. I am a 30-year-old man who has never read the Percy Jackson books before. But now I am reading them. I'm undoing my crimes on a quest to determine if this is a book series that we've all been sleeping on. I'm not on this quest alone, though.

| 1:29.8 | what are you doing, you old man, with all your old friends? We need people who actually grew up |
| 1:35.0 | with the books, not people who were, I don't know, people want younger folks on. And I'm sorry, |
| 1:40.2 | but I didn't know many that were podcasters that have read the PGA books until you have come |
| 1:46.4 | along and now met that need. So, why don't each of you explain your younger histories with |
| 1:53.4 | the Percy Jackson book series? The good thing also, Mike, Shubes, if I might call you that, |
