Summary

Because it only seemed right, here's a holiday re-airing of 2022's inaugural Battle of the Bastards. (Yes, Michaela and I will make this an annual thing!) It's that time of year when I can't fathom writing another heavily researched script so here's me breaking down Theseus vs. Jason, mostly from memory. Who is the worst? Will the results be 50/50?? Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

0:50.0	I know that's right. Thank you. The United States. Oh, hi, hello there.
1:18.4	Welcome to a very special holiday episode where I frankly picked a topic that felt both deeply fun and entertaining and also didn't require much brain power or research on my part because I am spending way too much time in the realm of Spartan history and culture and mythology and
1:30.9	gods. I just can't think about anything else right now. So guess what? It's time to debate who is the
1:35.3	worst Greek hero. This is let's talk about myths baby and I am your host, Live, who is doing well.
1:45.3	But that is right.
1:46.0	It is time for the Battle of the Bastards, as I'm calling it.
1:49.4	Who is worse?
1:50.6	Really worse.
1:52.1	Jason or Theseus.
1:55.3	Now, if you listen to me regularly and or generally know my personal stance on the heroes,
1:59.4	you might already have your answer,
2:01.2	and that answer might be Theseus.
2:03.2	However, we, those of us who believe these things, are not necessarily in the majority,
2:09.3	which actually brings me to the inspiration behind today's ridiculous and over-the-top episode.
