| 0:03.2 | He was a full grown, or did he have kids? |
| 0:04.7 | Oh, no, no, no, I got that back. |
| 0:06.0 | It's a human baby. |
| 0:07.3 | And it's not Sabretoogers tigers. |
| 0:08.8 | We can just cut that out. What's good. Thank you so much for tuning into another episode of the New Stilllympian. My name is Mike Schubert. I'm the titular Newsd Olympian. I'm a 30-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid, but I'm reading them as an adult because I'm on a quest to determine if this is a book series that we have been sleeping on as a society. But I'm not on this quest alone. I'm joined again by big Percy Jackson fan, big podcast boy in person with me. Now for the second time in person. Look at us go. It is the co-hosts and co-creator of Tipping Pitches and a podcast producer for the ringer, |
| 0:39.2 | Bobby Wagner. It is the co-host and co-creator of Tipping Pitches and a podcast producer for The Ringer, Bobby Wagner. How is it going? I'm back like I never left. Shubes, what's up, dude? It is like you never left. It's almost as if we just both went to the bathroom, refilled our waters, and got back in to record some more. The magic of podcasting. Mm-hmm. We had a quick off-mic talk about the Mets and the Yankees so that we wouldn't do it again on the show. |
| 0:55.2 | For the first time. The magic of podcasting. We had a quick off-mic talk about the Mets and the Yankees so that we wouldn't do it again on the show and angering all the people. We got it out of our system. We are who we are. Much like Kesha said, we are who we are. Thank you for the Kesha reference. Thank you, thank you. Now it'll allow me to make a Kesha tangent, which is what we're doing in the place of this episode instead of the, What's Your History, with the books and Who's Your Godley Parent? In college, I had a roommate who had a very big Kesha poster that was given to him as a gift. That's sick. It's great. And I had a big Justin Bieber poster on the ceiling. Also sick. And that was also given to me as a gift. Also safe. So Kesha poster we put on the wall where the |
| 1:45.4 | recycling bin was so that any time we took an empty alcohol container, it was a piece offering to the |
| 1:50.8 | goddess Kesha. And Justin Bieber was just on the ceiling. And I remember it was like the first |
| 1:56.0 | weekend of the year, there was some like freshman crawl happening at Rice because we could drink on |
| 2:00.5 | campus and in the dorms. |
| 2:01.5 | We would, instead of having like bar crawls out, you would have dorm crawls where people were just, there were 11 residential colleges instead of the Greek life. So you'd have some sort of theme crawl. There'd be one stop at each of the colleges. So the people who lived across the bathroom from us were freshmen. And it was like a sweet thing connected by a bathroom. Yeah. |
| 1:57.2 | And they asked us like, hey, we're going to have the crawl come through at like nine. |

| 2:18.0 | hey we're gonna have to crawl come through it like nine is it cool if we kind of like spill over into your room it only be like 23rd minutes we're like yeah no big deal we're going out later chill so these freshmen come in and they see our room and it's people we have never heard of before i mean my friends are playing Mario Kart 64 on our TV. |
