| 0:00.9 | You know, maybe Zeus will give us a bowl. |
| 0:02.6 | I appreciate that. |
| 0:03.4 | Yes, Mom, if I can go to the movies, Dad, if I could shoot out a military helicopter, same deal. |

| 0:34.6 | My name is Mike Schuber. |
| 0:35.6 | I'm the titular Newest Olympian. |
| 0:36.6 | I'm a grown man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid, but I'm reading them now as an adult because I'm on a quest to determine if this is a book series that we've all been sleeping on. And I'm not on this quest alone. I am joined this episode by the head of mischief management and the co-host of Pottercast. It's my good friend, Melissa and Ellie. Melissa, how's it going? |

| 1:38.5 | the dedication of the first time you are on pottery list where you bought a microphone just for |
| 1:41.7 | the recording and then returned it the next day. That's dedication. That microphone is in this closet. I forgot to return it. Well, I hope you got more than one use out of it. I did.
