Now they plan to meet in Times Square. I'm shutting down the podcast. I can't read another page.

0:35.1

What the? What? Percy, I thought you were a New Yorker. What's Good.

1:00.4

Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of The Newst Olympian.

1:03.2

My name is Mike Schumer.

1:04.0

I'm the titular Newst Olympian.

1:05.3

I'm a 30-year-old 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 as a society, and I'm not on this quest alone, though I am joined in person here with me in New York City. It's Stephen Pardis. Stephen, how's it going? It's going great, Mike. It's kind of weird. It just being the two of us for once. I know, not live, not over any sort of Zoom call, not in anywhere else other than my

1:13.6

fun... of us for once. I know. Not live, not over any sort of Zoom call, not in anywhere else other than

1:30.1

my fun, cozy home setup that we've probably posted on the T&O Instagram at this point, where we're

1:40.3

book podcast. Oh yeah. It's very cozy, very on brand, must say. Yes, all of the

1:46.3

1:51.3

to discuss the fourth book, specifically chapter 13 of Percy Jackson in the Battle of the

1:56.8

Labyrinth. Now, you've been on a bunch. Have I asked you all of the questions for guest stuff?

1:58.2

I'm trying to think if there's any other question to do. I feel like with Kelly, I've only reached this point and I'm just like,

1:59.6

nah, they know who you are and then I move on.

2:53.4

So, I've only reached this point. And I'm just like, nah, they know who you are. And then I move on. So I guess I'll just ask you, are you excited for the TV show now that as of today, February 2nd, 2023, they finished all of the principal filming. And it says it's completely wrapped. Dude, I am so excited for the TV show. I can't even. Oh, my gosh. It's going to be great. I think it's going to be very good. Yeah, I'm super excited. Seeing Lance Redick is Zeus, I'm like, super psyched for that. It's so good. It's such good casting.
