Summary
WE ARE DOING LIVE SHOWS IN NOVEMBER IN AUSTRALIA. TICKETS: www.thenewestolympian.com/live In what would normally be an off-week, we've instead got a bonus episode! Steven Parra was trying to be a nice guy and help me move out and due to confusing signage and a faulty app, was hit with a ludicrous amount of parking-related fees by the NYPD. As a response, we've put together this bonus episode in which half of the ad money will go to charity and the other half will go to the charitable efforts of offsetting the fees Steven had to pay. Hope you enjoy!

| 1:06.8 | I'm the titular newest Olympian. |
| 1:08.3 | I'm a 30-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid. but I'm reading them now for the first time 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 today I am also not alone. I am joined by a fan favorite guest for a very special circumstance. It's under not great circumstances, but we're making |
| 1:28.6 | lemonade out of lemons. And honestly, we're making some really good lemonade out of it. |
| 1:32.8 | It's Stephen, how's it going? Hey, uh, doing pretty good. I'm doing the, the med student |
| 1:38.9 | thing currently, but I'm having a lot of fun working in the hospital and I'm actually |
| 1:43.5 | having fun getting to hang out with you today. So could be worse. Yes. Actually, it could be worse. It's going great. I was going to say it could be worse, such as the day that sparked this endeavor we're on. So judging on the title and maybe because you listen to the previous episodes or you saw on social media, the impetus behind this Q&A bonus episode is that Stephen Parr was trying to be a very nice human being like he is, as he's one to do, and was coming to our place to kind of help us with the final things of moving out. Kelly and I just put all our stuff in a storage because our lease was running out. We have so much travel plan towards the end of the year that we're like, why would we also pay for a New York apartment on top of all this? So he put stuff in storage and then we're going to move back to New York City later after the new year. But Stephen was helping with like the last minute kind of things and he was going to drive us to the airport, which was going to be really nice. |
| 2:35.1 | And unfortunately, because of the combination of a confusing sign and a parking app that let you |
| 2:40.7 | pay for parking when you weren't supposed to be able to pay for parking, you got booted. |
| 2:45.4 | And then they dilly dallyed with the unbooting process. |
| 2:48.6 | So then you got towed. |
