'Percy Jackson' Episode 5: A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers

1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I am Noah.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,920
And you were.
No.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,720
That's your part.
I stole your part.

4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,120
Yeah.
Sorry, and you're listening to a

5
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:13,200
bite of.
I was too excited where we take

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,600
our current favorite pop culture
obsession and enjoy it 1 Nibble

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,040
at a time.
One nibble.

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,640
I feel like we haven't done this
in forever.

9
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:27,840
It right, yeah.
Yeah.

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,160
It's our fifth nibble of Percy
Jackson.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,200
So much.
Percy Jackson.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,840
We've guys so much.
I hope you're enjoying it

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280
because we've been doing nothing
but.

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,080
That, and I think in the
beginning we were like reading

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,760
the book and we were doing the
press and and everything.

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,560
And now it's kind of like, oh,
we're just doing this.

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,040
Now we're just doing the show.
It's like just the show and it

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,960
was funny.
So side note, the last episode

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,400
was our last Screener.
We got, we got four episodes for

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,240
the Screener initially.
Fantastic.

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Thank you Disney.
And we complained on the last

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960
episode and we were like, we
don't have screeners anymore.

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
We're going to have to watch it
and release this later.

24
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Like somebody on Twitter was
literally like did I miss your

25
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,400
guys's episode?
I'm like, no, we just don't have

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,360
screeners.
We're.

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Not cool anymore.
And then, literally this

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,080
afternoon, Disney was like, oh,
here's the screeners for 6-7 and

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,800
eight.
I'm like why not 5?

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,200
They're like, it's too late for
five.

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160
We already know it's too late
for five.

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,680
South the our episodes are going
to go back to when they were

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,440
we're going to release them the
day the episode gets released,

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,120
Wednesday.
So there you go.

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,880
That's that.
Back on our original schedule.

36
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,600
Also, thank you, Disney.
I'm curious if you're listening.

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,720
So sorry that we complained, but
also thank you.

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Maybe we're on, maybe someone
from Disney, you know, said

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,280
follow.
Well, Becky listens to us, so.

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,160
Hi, Becky.
Hi, Becky.

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Hi.
OK, Oh, happy New Year.

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,280
This episode has a lot.
There's a lot to unpack with

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,800
this one.
Before we get into that, we had

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600
to do housekeeping stuff, right?
Yeah.

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,720
We've gotten some new reviews.
Thank you.

46
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Thank you.
Thank you.

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,560
For those still on our way to
200.

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560
So if you're listening to us on
any app where you're allowed to

49
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,240
do reviews, Spotify, Apple
Podcasts, whatever else, I can't

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,640
name them all.
Just go down there and give us

51
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,240
reviews and make sure you're
following us.

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160
That way you can actually get
alerts when we release them how

53
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,320
we used to on Wednesdays.
But that's really a Patreon.

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,160
You know, we're going back to
covering our before the MCU this

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,240
month, so that's going to be
fun.

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,960
All right, so spoiler alert for
this episode, because things

57
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,680
happened in this episode.
Just.

58
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,160
One or two?
That are like pretty great.

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,040
So if you don't want us to spoil
it for you, don't watch it, but

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,240
let us officially take a bite of
Percy Jackson and the Olympians

61
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Episode 5 A God Buys Us
Cheeseburgers directed by Jet

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Wilkinson and written by Rick
Reardon and Jonathan E

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,480
Steinberg.
Percy dries off and notices that

64
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,800
the authorities are after him.
He and his fellow questers get

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,960
to step in to escape the
spotlight.

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,240
A leather clad God intercepts
the trio and offers them

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,680
sustenance and a side quest.
The Tunnel of Love becomes a

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,680
tunnel of terrors, leading to
Percy becoming the Golden Boy.

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,640
Annabeth denounces the way of
the gods, and pressing the God

70
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,520
of Craftsman, leading them back
to the leather clad God who

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,760
sends them on their way with
animals to another God.

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,720
Bravo.
A gracia?

73
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,760
A gracia.
Also, I really liked you calling

74
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,760
him the Golden Boy.
Was that a little too evil?

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,280
No.
Or just right on the money.

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,640
It was right on the money.
I mean, I do sorry, I do want to

77
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
amend something from the last
episode or not amend just.

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,120
I think it's crazy.
We didn't mention it, right.

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,160
We watched the 4th episode as a
Screener.

80
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,120
The Screener, because it's on
the laptop and just the way it

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,520
is, it's a little darker.
So the final scene in the last

82
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,480
episode where we see the water
spirit talking to Percy, we did

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,480
not realize that it was like a
jellyfish thing.

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,760
And and watching it the second
time, she reminded me of the

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,280
very sexy ladyfish.
From Shark Tail, yes, I have

86
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,600
that in my notes.
She had that hair going on and I

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,800
said OK.
Yeah, I I like it.

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,400
I think the interpretation is
great.

89
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,400
I know in the book it was like,
is that my mom?

90
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640
Like he couldn't really tell
because it's disgusting in

91
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,840
there.
And the trauma?

92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Right.
But yeah, so it was a jellyfish

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,320
thing.
I It's cool.

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
I just thought it was weird.
We didn't mention that because

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
it is so odd.
Well, you know what?

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,240
It was murky and blurry and
dark, and maybe we weren't

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,560
supposed to.
So I think our eyes were

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,320
perceiving what they could at
the moment.

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000
So mayhem at the arch.
I love the shots of the camera

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,960
coming out of the water showing
the arch on fire.

101
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,880
Fantastic shots.
Here we see Annabeth and Grover

102
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,640
surrounded by mayhem.
After looking at them, people

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,160
that were in the arch were
looking at them.

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Annabeth sees the fates.
Grover sees the authorities.

105
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,920
The fates cut the thread, which
is not good.

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880
Any Greek story you've know
Fates are involved.

107
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,880
If you've seen Hercules, same
concept.

108
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,200
The middle Fate, Dead Eyes.
Annabeth.

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,280
When there's a little.
Tiny pony.

110
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:29,520
Oh yeah.
She's like, watch this baby.

111
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,640
I love the three of them, these
3 old women with their yarn and

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,840
their scissors who are sitting
like in basically lawn chairs

113
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,080
while the arch is on fire.
Like, I'm sure they just

114
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,080
appeared, right?
Yes, It's such a funny visual to

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,720
be like, Oh yeah, this is just
old ladies knitting and just

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,480
watching the commotion.
Yeah, you know they have.

117
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:53,080
They're retired.
So this is how they spend their

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560
days, just looking for disasters
to sit by.

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,440
They have like a little police
patrol thing that they listen

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,320
to.
Police scanner, yeah.

121
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,800
That's the word.
Do you think so?

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Annabeth tells Percy and Grover
later on that it's an omen,

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,920
right?
That you know, cutting the

124
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,200
three, the thread is an omen
that somebody's going to die or

125
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,680
something bad's going to happen.
Do you think that we've seen it

126
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,240
already or it is yet to come
because he gets turned to gold?

127
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,280
Right.
So that would be the thing that

128
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:28,240
I would say, ah yes, that's when
he was dying or died.

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,160
But when I think about the book,
right, they're there and the

130
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,240
same thing happens.
And this whole Golden Boy scene

131
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,800
does not happen in the book.
No.

132
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,760
So if we're basing it on the
book, the death has not occurred

133
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,560
yet.
Or yeah, something, right.

134
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,600
Yeah.
I mean, that's what I'm

135
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,120
assuming, right?
It's, it could.

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,440
But I would almost say they're
going to have to like, not make

137
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,120
it known, but like, oh, this is
the thing, you know what I mean?

138
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,040
Because I feel like with adding
that extra thing, could that

139
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,960
have been interpreted as that's
what they were talking about?

140
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,000
Yeah.
And you know, I have to be

141
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,800
honest, I don't know enough
about the mythology behind the

142
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,200
fates, where it's something
similar to the Oracle, where

143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,280
it's like, not necessarily a
premonition, but a warning in a

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
way.
I mean, I think a lot of times

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560
the gods and whatever, they're
all in riddles.

146
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,200
So it's not, like,
straightforward like the the

147
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,680
fates were just like, oh, Hades
is really mad.

148
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,480
Let's go cut some cord, baby.
Or they're just like I just need

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720
to?
Maybe it was just really they

150
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,320
just finished the sock.
And they weren't even fates.

151
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840
No, they were just truly 3 old
ladies, and that one old lady

152
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,000
knew that that those kids were
bad news.

153
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
So they go and find Percy.
But I did want to point out that

154
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720
we finally got because we had
question like OK, are the

155
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,240
authorities going to be after
them and all that.

156
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,720
So this confirms that the
authorities, FBI, everybody's

157
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,160
going to be after these three
the mortar world.

158
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,320
And we also get to see Smelly
Gabe talking about them on the

159
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000
news and him crocodile tears
about everything, blaming him

160
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,800
for his mother's disappearance.
He was more upset about the

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,000
Camaro.
Yeah, perfect.

162
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,480
I love that he has that slip up
where he says I.

163
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,360
We really love that car.
You know what?

164
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080
And I bet you he was still
wearing sweatpants.

165
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Oh, even though he had a tie.
Yeah, I mean, you could tell

166
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,960
that he had not taken that suit
out.

167
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,720
That was a zoom call, so he was
still doing the same thing as

168
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,320
his online gambling.
He had the poker right next to

169
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:32,880
him, so when they finally
reunite, Annabeth going to Percy

170
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,840
and hugging him and they linger
on the hug and Percy looks like

171
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,120
he's like, oh this is nice, what
does?

172
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,840
This mean for our friendship?
Is this a friendship or more?

173
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:51,080
I personally wanted Grover to
get in on the hug, but I wanted

174
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,200
the two of them to be like
Percy.

175
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,440
No, this is Annabeth and Percy's
episode.

176
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,560
That's true.
So Grover had to break it out

177
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,880
because he's like, this is going
on a little too long, Yeah.

178
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,240
He's like, so they're after us.
This is lovely, but we got to

179
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
go.
Yeah, yeah, I love when they're

180
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,560
finally on the road, right?
And they're walking.

181
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,920
There's plenty of, like,
Perspath, Percy and Annabeth

182
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,160
moments in this.
So, like, we have a lot to talk

183
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,320
about with that.
They're on the road, right?

184
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,800
And Percy, I feel like the more
the episodes go on, the more

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Percy is very Percy.
He's talking about it.

186
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360
And he's like, you know, I don't
this quest must be harder than

187
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,720
we realize.
Like, how deep does this go?

188
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,400
And they're like, yeah, like,
are you just realizing this?

189
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,960
Yes.
He's just realizing that.

190
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,080
They have listened.
They have to be nice to him.

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,600
He's not been a part of this
world.

192
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,240
I said that in the last episode.
And they need to just leave him

193
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360
alone.
He's figuring he's at his own

194
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,080
speed.
I did like that.

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,240
He says to them like we need to
like dig deeper.

196
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880
We need to be detectives.
And I feel like in this episode

197
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,920
they they all have like their
own little detective moment.

198
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,680
Grover takes it to a whole new.
Level.

199
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,400
Oh, Grover is going full Dick
Tracy gumshoe.

200
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,200
Like, I feel like if he had
like, a little cigar, he'd be

201
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,320
like, yeah, I love the Lobster
Wall.

202
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,120
He was playing the Queen's
Gambit with Aaron's the whole

203
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,080
time he.
Was like your move, counter

204
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,360
move.
He knew exactly what he was

205
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,000
doing.
I like that he thought that far

206
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,760
ahead, but I think he did take
that detective part too far.

207
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Not too far, but like, he was
like, OK, this is my chance, the

208
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,280
shine guy.
I'm playing a role.

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,360
I'm 24 years old.
Let's do this.

210
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,160
We finally got the line where
he's like, I'm 24, so good.

211
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,240
Also next episode he should be
driving the car now 12 year old.

212
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,880
He's he's taking his young
friend down for his learner's

213
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,560
permit.
He's teaching him how to drive.

214
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:49,080
So Aries comes on to the scene.
I love the part, or they're

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,680
behind the guardrail or the
cement blocks, whatever they're

216
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,800
called.
I actually don't know what those

217
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,400
things are called.
I.

218
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,720
Don't know what they're called
either.

219
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,920
If you know, let us know.
Big old block things.

220
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,840
But they're not.
They're not even blocks.

221
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,560
Yeah, they're cement dividers.
That's.

222
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,120
Actually, probably right.
It's guardrails.

223
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920
I think you're right.
The first time when they finally

224
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,200
realize that Aries is Aries and
they all eat their heads over,

225
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,560
it's just like a classic kid
thing.

226
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:18,400
Yes, it's so good.
So I know that so this is really

227
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,000
was a Percy Annabeth episode.
But Grover had such great

228
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,760
moments in this.
The Grover comedy in this just

229
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480
had me like, you know, chef's
kiss.

230
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,400
I love when when Airy first
pulls up and Grover's like, beg

231
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,960
pardon.
And then he goes like, so long.

232
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Like we're fine, so long.
He's like crouching back down

233
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,680
and he's like, no thank you.
It's so long, so good.

234
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:43,280
I love it.
The comedic timing of them are

235
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,400
is so good.
Yeah.

236
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,520
I did want to mention before we,
like, get into the diner that

237
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Percy again, being himself.
Annabeth is like going through

238
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,480
some things, right?
In this episode alone, she goes

239
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,360
through a lot of growth.
She's like, now finally friends

240
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,960
with Percy.
She's starting to question the

241
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,080
gods and like how everything
interacts.

242
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:07,200
And he takes that as, oh, was
this because we hugged like, it

243
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,520
doesn't have to be a big deal?
We're friends now.

244
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,320
That's what friends do, Percy.
She's like Percy.

245
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,800
I have no time for your trivial
prepubescent nonsense, OK?

246
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,160
I saw the fates threatening us
with death and he's like, oh.

247
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,960
Yeah.
OK, so it wasn't the hug, but

248
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,840
maybe it was the hug a little
bit.

249
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,400
You're cute, but you're dumb.
Like, that's all you can say

250
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,800
with Percy.
Like, you're cute, but you're

251
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,120
dumb.
Just like.

252
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,240
He's courageous.
We also do find out one Adam

253
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Copeland AKA Edge Fantastic in
this episode looked him into

254
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,200
saying I'm sad that he doesn't
have his long hair anymore.

255
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,120
That was his trademark.
But that's from my WWE days.

256
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,800
I believe he like started in the
90s.

257
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,120
Yeah, we're going back.
Yeah, very good.

258
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,160
I was more of a stone cold Steve
Austin kind of guy.

259
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,360
But like, Edge was fine.
He was edgy.

260
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:09,200
I wasn't into the WWF when it
was called the WWF before it was

261
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,760
called the WWE.
I liked it when Hulk Hogan was

262
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,600
there, The Undertaker, like way,
way back when I was younger.

263
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,280
But then my best friend Melissa
was on when on the episode when

264
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,440
we talked about Midnight Sun.
She was a big WWE fan.

265
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,320
I could see that she's his
brother a lot.

266
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,120
And she used to do the Suck it
thing a lot.

267
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,520
Didn't we all, though?
I didn't.

268
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200
I don't believe that.
No, I was a lady.

269
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Melissa.
I'm telling you, I used to just

270
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,080
watch.
I would support them.

271
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,560
They would go to like the local
like fan greeting events for

272
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,280
wrestlers.
I mean, I was, I grew up in the

273
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,400
South, so it was, yeah, we
wrestled in the backyard too.

274
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,160
It was a big thing.
I was too gentle of a soul.

275
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,400
He's great though on this.
Yeah, he was.

276
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,720
Fantastic.
I don't think he's been in

277
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,000
anything in a while.
This is his like comeback

278
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,400
almost.
Even though he didn't have the

279
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:09,360
skin motorcycle.
OK, that so one of the changes

280
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,000
they did from the book, if you
listen to our episodes on that,

281
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,560
was the description of his bike
was that it looked like it had

282
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:20,680
Caucasian skin on it.
And I was like, oh, they don't,

283
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,880
we're not doing that.
OK, We're not doing that.

284
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120
I do feel like with Aries they
could have.

285
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,600
This is like one of my only
critiques with this episode.

286
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Is that like the descriptions
for him right when he's in the

287
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840
diner, he seems to me like be
able to command the room and he

288
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,400
like, makes people angry or
whatever.

289
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,880
And he has like fire and bombs
in his eyes and his, he's riding

290
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
a Caucasian skinned motorcycle.
And it's like we didn't really

291
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,280
get any of that.
It didn't have to be like

292
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Caucasian skin, but like
something more like, I'm the God

293
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,680
of War, you know?
No, I it.

294
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,320
Almost felt like because we were
mortals, we were just seeing

295
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,680
what we would have seen.
Like there could have been like

296
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,560
big exhaust pipes on the back
that shot fire out of them or

297
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,960
something.
Or is that too much?

298
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Is that too on that house?
I just liked his trench coat.

299
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,680
Yeah, it was very long and it
flipped in the wind.

300
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:14,560
I I love now that with the with
the invention of social media,

301
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,680
this is another thing that
really gets Aries going because

302
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,480
when they first get to the
diner, he's hysterical,

303
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,680
laughing.
He's like, I'm just starting a

304
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,240
fight on Twitter.
Him being a Twitter troll is the

305
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,640
most Aries thing ever.
He must live for it.

306
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,240
It must make him so happy.
He just probably just pisses

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,520
everyone off.
Doesn't matter who you are, what

308
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,920
you're talking about, he will
just automatically troll you.

309
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Oh yeah, I love that There's
like a a meme or a trend going

310
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,400
around.
It's been going around for a

311
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,040
while where it's like, it has a
character and it has like the

312
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,080
bubble half of it.
And people will quote tweets

313
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,760
with that.
And now there's one of Aries,

314
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,080
and people are like putting
stuff to have to do with like,

315
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,080
people calling it percabeth
instead of persabeth.

316
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,480
And it's like, it's hilarious.
Aries is the one that's causing

317
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,680
all this drama.
Oh yeah.

318
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,280
It's it's see when we sometimes
we think too big about war, War

319
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,960
can be on Twitter.
He's doing it all the time.

320
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,200
The question is what is Aries
handle?

321
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,840
Or does he just have a bunch of
troll accounts that he just

322
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,280
uses?
War Dude 666.

323
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,160
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Bloodshed.

324
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Skin cycle.
That that didn't sound good.

325
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,280
I don't like that one.
Let's cut that one out.

326
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,720
No, thank you.
I I We're just spitballing here.

327
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,080
So when they're in the diner, I
love that they found the right

328
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,760
one, right?
But I love that Annabeth like

329
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,160
doesn't give a shit and she just
keeps like jabbing at him the

330
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,040
whole time.
Even the eyebrow raise that she

331
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,640
does and he's like it was cute
for a little bit, but like knock

332
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,800
it off and she doesn't.
She keeps going.

333
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,640
I think that that brother sister
relationship between Aries and

334
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,840
Athena was passed on to
Annabeth.

335
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
She can't help it.
And they just look at him as

336
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,960
like this guy here he goes
talking big.

337
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,359
Always So the I, I love
everything that happens in the

338
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,119
diner, especially with Grover
and Aries.

339
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,560
But in the short time that all
of them are together, we do find

340
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,160
out that, you know, Zeus sent
everybody out to go look for the

341
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520
ball.
Aries tells them, oh, you don't

342
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040
think that a war is happening?
Zeus is going to go to war with

343
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Poseidon.
This is what we do.

344
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,200
The gods always go to war, even
if there isn't one.

345
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,800
He knows that there's one
coming, so why not?

346
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,440
Which I think is really
interesting because it's like no

347
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,200
matter what they do.
So this puts like a wrench in

348
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,600
their plan, right?
Is there going to be war?

349
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,920
Doesn't matter what the Oracle
said, because even Aries, he

350
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,640
could have been trying to start
something.

351
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,120
But is he right?
He's like, is that what Kyron

352
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,280
told you?
What did the Oracle actually

353
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,000
say?
Like, right.

354
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,920
You know, and you know, this
part of it might just be that

355
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,240
he's stirring the pot.
But also, I think that what we

356
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,240
see here, which I think is a
thread throughout the rest of

357
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:12,120
the episode, is breaking The
Olympian family cycle, right?

358
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,560
And so we see that through the
rest of this, especially when

359
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,680
they get to the amusement park
about how the Olympians treat

360
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,360
each other and how they're
willing to backstab each other

361
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,280
and throw each other away just
for their own greatness or just

362
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,520
even because it's a Tuesday.
And so this is Aries kind of

363
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,000
saying and planting that seed
for us.

364
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,440
Is the audience saying, like,
this is what Olympians do, and

365
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,960
no matter what, there's just
going to be war.

366
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,120
Oh yeah, I mean, that is what
they do, right?

367
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:43,520
But it it I love this, like this
tension and this conflict of

368
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,400
like new and old gods.
Meaning like the new one are are

369
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,600
these generation and the old
gods?

370
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,080
Or even just like monster versus
monster.

371
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,240
Like who is the actual monster
in this thing?

372
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Is it the gods that we're
supposed to worship?

373
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,320
Yes.
But like I love this whole ideal

374
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,640
being presented in this way with
also subtle things of like our

375
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,280
real world stuff like because
this is happening in Olympus,

376
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,840
this is how it affects the real
world.

377
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,920
Pan is gone, pollution is
running rampant, and humans are

378
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,120
killing the Earth.
It's it's very smart, and I

379
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,920
think it's a natural way to tell
these stories and make it a

380
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,840
little more believable.
I like that a lot.

381
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,160
So Aries says I'll help you if
you retrieve my shield from an

382
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,040
amusement park nearby.
Sure, he keeps Grover as

383
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,520
collateral, which is smart so
they don't run off.

384
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,520
Got to say, he's the God of War.
He knows how to make deals and

385
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,880
he knows when people are being
sneaky.

386
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,160
He's very smart with this.
I do also want to talk about

387
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,000
their food situation for like 2
seconds.

388
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,440
I would.
Love to talk about it.

389
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,080
Because there was too much.
There was burgers on burgers and

390
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,280
towers of fries didn't really
look like anybody touched

391
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,800
anything, but like poor Grover,
because in another scene we get

392
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400
there's like steaks.
Steaks and a milkshake.

393
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,600
I don't even know if he does
dairy.

394
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Probably not.
I don't.

395
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,640
I think he's vegan.
Maybe.

396
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Oh, that's a good question.
Will he do?

397
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Yeah, because it's like, well, I
guess the how they get it right.

398
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,920
He would probably wouldn't do it
from like a diner, but maybe I

399
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,080
can't half load if they make
butter or something.

400
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,920
Or like, maybe he just does
smoothies with almond milk.

401
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Oh yeah.
Oh, I'm just OK.

402
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,360
Some of us are lactose
intolerant, you included.

403
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:30,760
I am too, but I do Lactaid
because I can't do those nut

404
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:31,720
milks.
I can't.

405
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Watch it.
Don't make me bring up the skin

406
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,160
cycle again.
No, what I wanted to talk about

407
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,960
is how do you order hamburgers
so they come in a mountain and

408
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,360
not on separate plates.
You tell them I want all the

409
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,920
hamburgers.
I want a pile of burgers and a

410
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,800
mountain of fries.
No, what you heard is all.

411
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,600
All of them.
But I want every burger you have

412
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,280
in the he, Ron swansoned it to
get all the burgers on one

413
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
single plate.
What I see, I think what I'm

414
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,440
trying to get AT is someone tell
me how to go to a diner and

415
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,280
order a mountain of French
fries.

416
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Not an order of French fries.
A mountain of French fries.

417
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,200
I think you have to be the God
of War to like make them do that

418
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,720
you.
Got to have that.

419
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,920
Unfortunately, I don't have
that.

420
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,880
I could order two separate
things of fries and just pop

421
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,240
them on top of each other.
So before we get to the

422
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,840
amusement park, Waterworld,
Tunnel of Love and all that,

423
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,280
let's talk about Aries and
Grover, because their scenes

424
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,880
kind of happen throughout this
episode and I think we should

425
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,920
just sit with it for a little
bit because we're already here.

426
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,320
We're just going to put them
together.

427
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,200
We're.
Already seated.

428
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Like we said, Grover's playing
chess.

429
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Yes, and Grover is ready for
this conversation.

430
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,760
When Arie says he wants to keep
him as collateral, he's like,

431
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Yep, cool, let's do this.
Bye guys.

432
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,560
Go, go, go, go, go.
So Grover is has formulated this

433
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,080
plan very quickly.
Yeah, he's he's upping his ego,

434
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,320
which he knows that will get his
attention.

435
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,760
He kind of weaves the saying of
like, well, I saw you at the

436
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,880
winter solstice who could have
snuck in and got in the bolt.

437
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,240
Somebody that would stand up to
Zeus and doesn't care.

438
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Somebody that could be gone and
not missed.

439
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,280
Who do you think that is?
And he also drops a line of

440
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600
like, it doesn't matter who did
it.

441
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Zeus thinks Percy did it and
that's what matters.

442
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:27,600
And so it kind of gets Aries
gears turning here, but I'm not

443
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,960
sure if Grover has it figured
out.

444
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,800
You know what I mean?
Like, does he think that it's

445
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Clarisse that, like, that's my
feeling I got from this?

446
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,360
Like, does he think that
Clarisse was the one that did

447
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:43,680
it, or I'm not going to spoil it
for people that haven't seen it?

448
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,920
Do you think he actually knows
who did it?

449
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,680
I'm thinking he's thinking it's
someone like Clarisse.

450
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,280
Clarisse.
I think that that's where his

451
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,560
mind is going, because there's
also a part in these scenes

452
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,360
where Aries shows what shitty
parents the gods are.

453
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,520
Once again by saying, oh the
solstice, I got to sit there and

454
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,800
they present the things to me
and it's so boring.

455
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,760
And so maybe in Grover's mind,
he's saying, well, what would a

456
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,560
child of a God do to try to
impress them even more?

457
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,280
And so maybe that's leading him
to someone like Clarice.

458
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,000
Yeah, I mean, because he I loved
how he talked about kids.

459
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,800
I mean, it's shitty, and I think
we know that the gods are shitty

460
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,520
to their kids.
But, like, it was like, my knees

461
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,520
hurt.
What are butterflies for and

462
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,080
like?
What are butterflies for?

463
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,880
Or maybe he said like, where are
they from?

464
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560
But either way it just like.
But it's like kind of funny.

465
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,000
It's like if you think my knees
hurt, that's like an old person.

466
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,720
And then someone asking what are
butterflies for?

467
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,200
Where are they from?
That's like a child.

468
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
So he just hates all his
children, no matter how which.

469
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,440
Also begs the question of like
one.

470
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,120
I do think that you're on, like,
I think it's on the right track

471
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,800
for Grover to think that because
it's like Clarice got the spear

472
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,320
from Aries, so it's like how
would she be in his favour?

473
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:13,000
That kind of makes sense.
But like I I think, I don't

474
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,840
know.
I think he's wrong.

475
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,240
You know, I I think.
I personally think.

476
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Grover.
Yes.

477
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,000
Yeah.
Well, you know, I think we have

478
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,040
to wait until next episode to
see who he really thinks it is.

479
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,120
But I mean, let us know.
It's a little, it's a little

480
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,040
early.
Yeah.

481
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,840
Comment below.
See What do you think?

482
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,280
Do you think he's wrong?
Do you think he's right?

483
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560
Who knows?
Well, Grover say I know who it

484
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,120
is and they go who he goes, I'm
not going to tell you.

485
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,480
Also him saying Athena with her
is an owl best friend.

486
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,040
So good.
I love the lighting in this

487
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,480
situation.
There was a moment when he

488
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,640
finally puts down the phone and
is more invested in the

489
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,920
conversation and the light is
kind of shining above him.

490
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,920
So it makes his face just kind
of how his face is, but like, it

491
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,280
makes it a lot more menacing
with the light being directly

492
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,920
going down so good.
Do you think that Aries knows

493
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,880
the game that Grover's playing
right now?

494
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,000
I don't think he does because he
even talked about satyrs being

495
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
like hippies and protesters and
like, you sing about whatever.

496
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,800
I don't think he takes them
seriously.

497
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,720
So I think it's perfect for
Grover to be like, I got him.

498
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,240
Yeah.
Or at least to ask him

499
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,920
questions.
And he kind of played into his

500
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,040
hand because there was a moment
where I was like, Aries might

501
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,040
know what he's doing, but he
didn't.

502
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:24,960
He didn't.
So.

503
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,160
Yeah, he did.
He definitely let Grover, you

504
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,960
know, fill him with hot air.
Yeah, there was a there was a

505
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,360
moment where he's really
rallying him out and the music

506
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,600
was just getting like chaotic.
And I was like, oh cool, I like

507
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,360
this.
OK, so on to Water World,

508
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,080
because I think that's really
the majority of their

509
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,760
conversations.
Water world.

510
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,720
Beautiful, beautiful water
world.

511
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Haunting.
Well, listen, Percy's like, wow,

512
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240
this place is great.
It looks like, you know,

513
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,240
amusement park in a movie.
I just want to say this place is

514
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,760
rundown.
It's scary.

515
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,800
It's terrible.
No, no.

516
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,160
Annabeth liked it.
Percy didn't like it because he

517
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,800
said he said this looks like the
place in horror movies.

518
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,880
Like I'm not supposed to be
here.

519
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,640
And then that's when we get the
devastating line of Annabeth.

520
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,200
Never have seen any movie.
She was 7 when she left home.

521
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,200
She didn't see any movies.
Are you kidding me?

522
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,280
What kind of parents?
Well, we know.

523
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,480
We know if you.
I could introduce Annabeth to

524
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,680
her first movie.
What would it be?

525
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,480
I'd have to go Disney.
I mean, you don't have to, but

526
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,760
probably.
You got to go Disney.

527
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,320
Yeah, you know, but what Disney
movie?

528
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,680
I don't know.
I'm asking.

529
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,680
Oh gosh.
I mean, do you think she'd want

530
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,840
to see Hercules?
No.

531
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
She knows about all that stuff
and she'd probably be spotting

532
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,040
all the inaccuracies.
You know what I think?

533
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,240
Tell me.
Big Hero Six, yeah.

534
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,680
Genes.
Scientists.

535
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,360
Superhero kids Devastating.
Yeah, she's used to that.

536
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,520
She probably won't be moved.
Or like an architectural

537
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,200
documentary.
She might like that too.

538
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080
I don't know any but.
Lisa's house, the Empire State

539
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,600
Building, was built.
Yeah, but those are my guesses,

540
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,600
at least for for her.
Let us know on Spotify.

541
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,120
That will be our question for
this episode.

542
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:16,040
What movie would you introduce
Annabeth to for the first time?

543
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Doesn't that have to be Disney?
She's a 12.

544
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,160
She's 12.
Yeah, because I guess I was

545
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,160
thinking if she were younger,
but 12 year olds like Disney

546
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,160
movies.
I like.

547
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,280
Disney movies.
We're literally pretty much

548
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,400
talking about a Disney.
I just don't.

549
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,360
I just kind of want to end the
episode and really just think

550
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:37,680
about what movie I need to
really think about it ghosted on

551
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,160
it.
We did an episode on that and

552
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,600
I'm still not happy about it,
no.

553
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,080
We never will be.
No.

554
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,280
We never will be.
Also our letterboxed rap because

555
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,120
like, we forgot to log
something.

556
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,360
It showed that as the first
movie for us in 2023.

557
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:57,200
And I was like, for fuck's sake,
I can't get away from ghosted

558
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,880
it.
Was our number one.

559
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,320
So Annabeth not seeing a movie,
they go through the turnstiles

560
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,520
and I love this scene because
Percy is like scared.

561
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800
He's about to die and Annabeth
is just admiring the

562
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,880
craftsmanship of this.
It's so good.

563
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000
There's so much that happens in
this episode where it's like

564
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:21,240
these are the like the base
level of these characters.

565
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,400
Like this is the thing that you
can always assume that they're

566
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,520
going to do.
Annabeth is going to appreciate

567
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,160
the craftsmanship and try to
figure things out, and Percy is

568
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,120
going to be getting himself into
those traps.

569
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,520
Yeah, he's just always going to
be leaping before he looks and

570
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,680
and you know, I think that's the
difference, right?

571
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,360
Is that him seeing these
turnstiles, he's grown up only

572
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,600
as a human right with his human
side.

573
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,600
You just go through them.
Whereas Annabeth, who has grown

574
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,760
up only in the godly world, just
seeing, like, maybe we should

575
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,120
stop and think before we take a
step.

576
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Agreed.
You know?

577
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,000
And so it is kind of funny
because he's standing there

578
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,640
because at first she's
panicking, telling him that it's

579
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,560
celestial bronze which will kill
him.

580
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,600
And then she's like, really just
thinking and admiring it and

581
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,200
filling it and like, just like
I'm going to figure this out.

582
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,200
And he's like, what am I doing?
Why am I standing here?

583
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,440
She's like, oh, that's cool,
Yeah.

584
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,440
And she's like in about.
She's like, just got there.

585
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,640
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine.

586
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,800
I love that it's a test right
out the gate.

587
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Literally.
But I'm.

588
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,520
And also, they're walking
through the park, which is

589
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,160
creepy as fuck.
And she's like, have you ever

590
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,160
seen anything like this?
And I love how Percy skirts over

591
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000
that question because he
probably would be.

592
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,160
Yeah, I've seen an amusement
park before, but she hasn't.

593
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,600
She really hasn't been in the
real world.

594
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,600
So I like, I don't know if it
was a choice or like they just

595
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,560
decided not to answer it, but I
took that as him trying not to

596
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,320
seem like she's been, like,
excluded from things.

597
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,960
Yeah, I kind of like that line.
And I like how they put together

598
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:54,320
the Aries and Aphrodite met at a
Festus's park, which is so

599
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,440
stupid.
Like why would they do that?

600
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,240
Tunnel.
Oh, love.

601
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Why would they do that in his
own park?

602
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,080
Disgusting.
I think they did it on purpose,

603
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,880
they said.
Let's rub it in his face.

604
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,320
Probably, probably.
They're so rude.

605
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Shall we get to the tunnel of
love?

606
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Say it right, Thrill ride.
Oh, love.

607
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,800
I don't think that's what it was
in the book was.

608
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,880
It.
No, I don't think so either.

609
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,280
OK, that's what it's here and
it's a neon, right?

610
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,040
Oh, I like that.
It's oh love.

611
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,480
Yeah, yeah, I liked it too.
I liked the design.

612
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,200
I'm going to say I loved this
more than the book because in

613
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,640
the book they got rid of Grover
really quick, 'cause the shoes

614
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,560
went and he went away and it was
like kind of like just in like a

615
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,720
empty pool situation.
The only difference between the

616
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,440
book and this one that I think
is of note is that Ephestus sent

617
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,680
this as a trap for Aries and
Aphrodite, because in the middle

618
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,960
of this pool in like a boat was
shield and Aphrodite scarf and

619
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,160
there was cameras.
Spiders are involved.

620
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,680
That's where we find out that
children of Athena are scared of

621
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,040
spiders, and he's streaming this
to Olympus.

622
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,480
Reality TV.
Yeah, that doesn't happen here,

623
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,280
which I think is interesting for
them to cut out, but I like what

624
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,000
we got instead.
Yeah, because this led to a lot

625
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,880
more character growth.
It led to a bonding moment

626
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,960
between Annabeth and Percy, and
it introduced us Festus.

627
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,920
Festus So they're in the boat
going into the Tunnel of love.

628
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,360
I'm not going to call it The
Other One because they keep

629
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,680
forgetting what it's called.
Tunnel.

630
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,880
Oh, love, I don't know.
And what is love?

631
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,360
What is?
What is love?

632
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Baby, don't hurt.
Did you notice that in the

633
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,400
silhouette character one of them
was doing this?

634
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,480
I absolutely did.
Night at the Roxbury.

635
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,880
Night at the Roxbury baby.
Bam.

636
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,440
Bam.
And what a way for us to be aged

637
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,480
by a 12 year old.
It's just insane.

638
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,160
This was a hit.
He said.

639
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,240
I've heard this before, maybe in
an orthodontics office.

640
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,760
They play old music.
Oh yeah, the lightest of hits.

641
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:09,880
He was born in like 2009 and oh.
No, I don't understand how

642
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,640
people are born in the 2000s.
I have two brothers that were

643
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,960
born in the 2000s.
Yes, my brother in law's are

644
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,120
born in the 2000s.
You know them.

645
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,000
I know them, Yeah, I've met
them.

646
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,480
We were aged.
It was like a knife to the

647
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,200
heart.
But I loved this way of doing

648
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,520
exposition right, of showing
Hefesus a story between his

649
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,520
mother and his love and Aries
and everything is really smart.

650
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,360
And then we got more
conversation of, like, Percy at

651
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,680
the beginning of the episode was
like, oh, my dad helped me,

652
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,720
like, maybe things aren't as
bad.

653
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,920
And then he questions his mother
in this moment, too.

654
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920
He's like, this is what she was
stopping me.

655
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,080
This is like what she was trying
to warn me about, right?

656
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,160
She was telling me about the
stuff.

657
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,360
She should have prepared me
better.

658
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,760
And I love the Annabeth's
responses.

659
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,800
I think she was preparing you so
that way you're not like this

660
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
exactly.
Preparing you with love and

661
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,880
kindness.
That's me, baby.

662
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,640
Sally Jackson.
Hello.

663
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,040
It's me, SJ.
We still have to get the

664
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,000
Poseidon and Sally back story
that we're we're going to show.

665
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,640
They're going to show not us.
We're going to act it out

666
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,240
because we know that from from
the press that we did that.

667
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,160
They said that there's scenes
without Hershey's point of view

668
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,920
and the Grover and Aries was one
of them and Sally and Poseidon

669
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,080
is one of them.
So I'm very excited to see that.

670
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,640
I wonder if that's going to
happen when he actually meets

671
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,640
Poseidon and Poseidon's like I
Met Your Mother.

672
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,440
And then there's a flashback.
Exactly.

673
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,400
Water.
Water.

674
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,440
So the tunnel of love turns into
the tunnel of hell and starts

675
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,640
going.
Oh heck yeah, there's a crop.

676
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,600
That goes until like.
They could have died.

677
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280
They were going to die.
Set design here.

678
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,800
Just want to like point out for
two seconds.

679
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Phenomenal.
So good.

680
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,920
I love the lighting in here.
I love the lighting of the neon

681
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,480
when they went in.
I love that.

682
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Like when they find where the
Shield is, it's like, I I don't

683
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,239
know, it was like mixed with
Carnival and Old Fantastic.

684
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,800
Yeah, these.
They are putting these kids

685
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,800
through the ringer for this
series.

686
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,280
I remember when we saw the
behind the scenes clip of when

687
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,159
they were filming the car chase
with the Minotaur.

688
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,520
Those kids were really in a car
spinning around.

689
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,320
So I have to wonder what Walker
and Leah had to go through for

690
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,480
this scene.
In a boat.

691
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,080
In a boat being wet, probably
being dropped a bit.

692
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:42,920
The this scene like coming up
and they acted their asses off

693
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:48,880
for yeah, being as young as they
are, I didn't want to interrupt

694
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:54,360
that and they had to have been
wet for hours.

695
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,280
Disgusting.
Especially.

696
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,720
Percy began the episode wet.
Ends the episode wet.

697
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,360
And you know, you have to
wonder.

698
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,200
It's like you're wet, but then
you're probably surrounded by

699
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,320
tons of lighting, so you're like
hot and wet.

700
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,040
It's somebody's job to just keep
spraying him but.

701
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,880
You're not like you're not.
You don't need refreshing.

702
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,680
Well, I know it's soggy.
What do they do?

703
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,880
Sometimes they, they like, fake
it without them actually being

704
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,640
wet is like what they use, like
some type of solution and stuff.

705
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,280
I mean, I do remember seeing
like them spraying him.

706
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,840
So obviously there's droplets,
but like, you know, sometimes

707
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,800
they'll use like Vaseline and
that way it looks kind of like

708
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,640
wet.
He looked wet, like he actually

709
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,720
looked like he was soaking wet.
Something else that I noticed is

710
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:43,880
that his eyes were very red.
I think underwater acting like

711
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,760
he opened his eyes, probably in
the pool, and his eyes got

712
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,160
irritated.
They're like, Damn it, Percy or

713
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Walker, you're supposed to be.
Like immune to water.

714
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:57,680
You're supposed to love it.
So, so a choice is being made

715
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,800
here, right?
We see the machine.

716
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,840
How does this machine get turned
on?

717
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,840
Somebody has to sit in the seat
and the shield drops.

718
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,120
They know Percy knows of this
chair.

719
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,680
See, I like that.
The conversation before.

720
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,480
It's like my mom should have
prepared me.

721
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,920
Oh, I know what this chair is.
She was preparing.

722
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,920
She.
Prepared me, Percy.

723
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,080
So it was made for hair, all
this stuff, and her Festus had

724
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,200
to get her out.
I love this scene.

725
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,320
I love everything about it.
I love that Annabeth is going to

726
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,600
immediately say I'm going to go
into it, and he's like, no, we

727
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,840
get Annabeth saying seaweed
brain for the first time, she

728
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,440
says.
This isn't the arch seaweed

729
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,120
brain.
You're not going to push me

730
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,640
aside.
Oh, I'm sorry to jump out of the

731
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:52,000
scene, but we also got Grover
dropping the Lightning Thief.

732
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,480
Oh yeah, yeah, he did.
He did name the book.

733
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Oh my God.
OK, go back into.

734
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,520
We're back.
Right.

735
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,040
But this moment of the two of
them standing there talking to

736
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,520
each other, trying to convince
the other one that they should

737
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,440
be the one to sacrifice
themselves, was really powerful,

738
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,640
and I really thought they did
such a phenomenal job in this

739
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,360
scene.
I love that he called back Why

740
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,240
he chose Annabeth in the 1st
place.

741
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,600
He reminded her he was like, no,
it is like this because the

742
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,640
reason why you're here is
because I know you would

743
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:30,680
sacrifice me if it was to
complete the quest, which like I

744
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,200
like it said in this instance
and not initially, because

745
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,240
initially it was like how.
Yeah.

746
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,000
Initially it was more like who
wouldn't?

747
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,560
Who would turn their back on me?
And it would be you.

748
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,440
Because he he then follows,
follows it up with You're better

749
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600
at this than I am.
You know that.

750
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,680
You're better at this than I am,
which is really sweet and kind

751
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,960
of humbling.
And he knows that.

752
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,880
Well, my story ends with me
sitting in a chair.

753
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,040
Well, you know, that's the thing
about Percy is that Percy is

754
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,800
never trying to be anything
other than who he is.

755
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,760
The best.
Or any no.

756
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Like, I mean, but he's not
striving for the glory and all

757
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,040
of that stuff.
He knows exactly who he is.

758
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,240
He knows that she's smarter and
better at these things than him,

759
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,680
and he's not going to feign any
of that kind of machismo.

760
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,760
I can do anything right?
He knows exactly who he is and

761
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,960
he's OK with that.
Yeah, and unfortunately, his

762
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,920
fatal flaw is sacrificing
himself and leaping in front of

763
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,440
whoever he cares about without
fully thinking through.

764
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,520
The good thing is, in this
situation, it's good that he did

765
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,120
right because Annabeth would be
the one to figure out how to get

766
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,440
him out of it.
Yeah, I love the conversation of

767
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,640
like, right before he sits in
the chair, he's like, going to

768
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,840
say something.
And she's like, don't get your

769
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,720
mom from the underworld.
And he's like, but also like,

770
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:50,040
when this is done, could you,
like, swing back, get me?

771
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Yeah.
And she's like like, you'd have

772
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,400
to ask.
Yeah.

773
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,520
And then when he sits down and
he's like, I can't get up, and

774
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,160
then he just keeps saying I'm
OK, I'm OK, I'm OK.

775
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,880
It's like he's just trying to
convince himself that he's OK

776
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,600
Woof.
It's so sad, yeah.

777
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,120
It was really sad.
I know he wasn't going to die,

778
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,400
but like, we had no idea what
was happening because it's so

779
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,400
different from the book, which I
love that they did this and like

780
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,040
him saying I'm OK, he's
comforting her and he's the one

781
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,360
being turned to gold and that
last I'm OK.

782
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:30,880
He looks like he's like, I'm not
OK, but I'm saying I'm OK And he

783
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,880
tries to say it one more time
and it gets cut off.

784
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,160
And I was like, OK, He's a 12
year old.

785
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:44,160
Yeah, it's so sad.
Leah Sava Jeffries killed it.

786
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,360
Yeah, this was her.
I love that in this episode,

787
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,800
each one of them really got
their moment to shine.

788
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,120
Grover has moment to shine with
Aries.

789
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,280
Annabeth gets to shine not only
by herself and with Percy, but

790
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,880
in front of another God.
The entrance of a Festus.

791
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,560
I mean, Oh my God, I love
fantastic.

792
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,280
I love the calmness of just
having turned someone to solid

793
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,040
gold forever trapped in chair.
And he's like, can I help you?

794
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,880
Do you need to get out?
Why are you here?

795
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,440
I don't know you.
Which is clear that, like he

796
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,400
said it for Aphrodite and Aries,
but, like, I don't think he

797
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,800
cares who goes into it, right?
It's like this is his

798
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,160
playground.
And they just happened to go

799
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,520
into it.
Like he probably could have

800
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,000
stopped it at any point.
Oh yeah, and he didn't.

801
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,080
I love that.
Like, even though Percy and

802
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,120
Annabeth agreed that, like, OK,
you're going to go save my mom

803
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,920
and then try to come back here
and save me but keep going, she

804
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,040
decides not to.
Yeah, which I think couple

805
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,200
episodes ago she probably would
have if Percy and Annabeth

806
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,400
weren't Percy and Annabeth,
right?

807
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,400
And this is her growing, this is
her finding somebody, a found

808
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,840
family, somebody that she really
cares about and also questioning

809
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,720
everything.
She's like, oh, there's gears

810
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:06,440
and stuff.
Like, why not let me try to

811
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,160
figure out how to get them out
now, because the shield's out.

812
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,080
So good.
So, so good.

813
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,960
Then we have the conversation
with the Festus and Annabeth.

814
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,880
My God, I couldn't remember a
name and I just said it 10

815
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,840
times.
But I love this conversation.

816
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,040
I wrote this in my notes because
I just want to say it like how I

817
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,640
wrote it, because it's how I
felt.

818
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,680
I love that Hephaesus is waiting
to see if Annabeth would choose

819
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,440
Percy over glory and power and
personal gain.

820
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,400
Because no one ever chose him,
not his mother or his wife.

821
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,960
And I think that he sees after
she says my mother's like this,

822
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,000
Aries is like this, All the gods
are like this.

823
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,760
He's not like that.
And I don't want to be like you

824
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,200
guys anymore.
And I think he's saying, OK,

825
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,920
this is a good way to be.
Again, it's breaking that cycle

826
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,360
so good.
And that's what he always

827
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,280
needed.
Yeah, he needed someone to not

828
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,040
be a total dirtbag, and that
never happened for him.

829
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,320
And so, I mean, like you said,
his wife cheated on him in his

830
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,600
building, in the place that he
built.

831
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,600
He got thrown off of Mount
Olympus.

832
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:21,080
Yeah, like and so and so.
Nobody ever chose him over glory

833
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,840
or over what they ultimately
wanted.

834
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,200
So seeing the selflessness of
Annabeth, who is the child of

835
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:33,080
Athena, who is wisdom and power,
and in the sense glory that

836
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,200
moves him.
Yeah.

837
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,520
And she even calls out her mom
in this, in this scene, which I

838
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,360
think is big for her, right.
I don't think that she would

839
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,040
invoke their names without
really meaning it.

840
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,640
And she did.
She named multiple gods in this

841
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,200
thing.
I love that.

842
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,360
In the end, he decides to free
Percy, right?

843
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,320
And then he's like, you're a
good kid, Anibeth.

844
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,440
Like you.
You did good.

845
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,280
I'll tell your mom.
I'm like, I'll put in a good

846
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,840
word for you.
Oh my God, Timothy, all my son.

847
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,000
I also like, I'm just going to
say I don't know who's playing

848
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,720
Aphrodite.
I don't think they ever said I

849
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,000
don't think she shows up in
this.

850
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,560
But Aphrodite is cheating on
Craftsman.

851
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:18,280
Daddy for edge.
She likes a real bad boy,

852
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,440
apparently, she said.
Silver Daddy, no thanks that.

853
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,880
Beard great.
And also his little like flute.

854
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,720
Oh yeah.
It was very Willy Wonka.

855
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,240
Yes, yeah.
It was very Wonka in, Wonka,

856
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,440
Wonka in.
Very Wonka.

857
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,680
There you go.
That's fine, Waconian.

858
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,640
But he he literally does that in
the original Willy Wonka.

859
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,160
He plays something and then he's
like, take the mother to the

860
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,840
squeezing room or whatever to
the fudge factory.

861
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,560
He does do that.
I love it.

862
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,600
I love a good musical mechanical
magicness.

863
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,440
So good.
Oh my God.

864
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,840
But, like, what do we think?
Like, this is so much

865
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,880
development for these two
characters in particular.

866
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,680
We know Persabeth is a thing,
right?

867
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,840
It's it's a thing like if you're
on social media, that's kind of

868
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,760
not spoiled for you, but it's
like, it's a thing If you listen

869
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,400
to our episodes, Rick Riordan
talks about how like, this is a

870
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,800
slow burn.
Like there is five books of this

871
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,560
building to this thing.
Well, again, they're 12.

872
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,720
I'm rereading it.
I'm in book four.

873
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,960
I just met Hephaestus for the
first time and Persebeth still

874
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,120
isn't a thing.
Well, I I'm, you know, we all

875
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,240
know my memory is terrible with
thing, with like full plot

876
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:38,640
points of things.
But what I remember reading

877
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,480
these books, I never even
thought Persebeth was a thing.

878
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,520
It's very subtle.
Like, when it actually happens,

879
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,920
Like, of course when you finish
the book, you're like, OK, like

880
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:49,640
all those things building up to
it.

881
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,280
But that's what's so great about
it, right?

882
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,240
Because I think even in this,
right, it's like, I wouldn't say

883
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,000
it's like romantic love.
I think, like, the adolescent

884
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,160
feelings of like, oh, a girl's
hugging me and, like, this is

885
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,280
nice.
You know what I mean?

886
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,360
I think right now they're doing
a really good job of showing

887
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,240
this friendship really come
together and for them to truly

888
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:11,760
care about each other, what you
need to do.

889
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,080
Yeah.
And I think that this episode

890
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,280
was really successful for a
number of reasons.

891
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,600
And one of those reasons is that
it balanced a lot and it did it

892
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,360
well.
We had character development, we

893
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,000
had action and we had espionage
on top of it, you know and so

894
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,760
and I think that we really had a
really good serving of all of

895
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,040
those and it was enjoyable to
watch because the kids really

896
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:41,040
shown in this episode.
It it's insane that like each

897
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,320
episode, like, I feel like we're
watching them grow up within

898
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,120
these episodes, right?
It's like they seem so young in

899
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,960
the first episode, in the second
episode, and now they're even

900
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,000
though they're actually
maturing, they just seem older.

901
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,480
And I feel like I've heard
Percy's voice crack or change

902
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,160
just a little bit, a few times,
like.

903
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,800
You know, I I have to say
they're they're really fantastic

904
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,320
cast, but they were a couple of
especially when he's talking to

905
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,600
Annabeth about why he's going to
sacrifice himself.

906
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,000
You could really see the acting
chops of Walker Scoville.

907
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,000
He's he's such a fantastic Percy
and he really leads the trio

908
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,320
well.
I'm excited to see, like, I

909
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,000
mean, we haven't gotten Season 2
yet.

910
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,800
I'm sure there's going to be 1
and like, if they keep doing

911
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,320
this, like, we're going to be
with these actors and these

912
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,400
characters for a long time, and
I'm loving that.

913
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,160
Like, we're getting such big
things in the first go around.

914
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,600
Very excited to see where we go.
Yeah, OK, So we have to leave

915
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:38,520
the tunnel.
Love.

916
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,440
Unfortunately, it's like one of
those big things, right?

917
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,000
It's like the series as a whole.
You always remember the tunnel

918
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,920
of Love because that's like such
a big thing for these characters

919
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,920
love that they devoted a whole
episode.

920
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,440
Oh yeah, it needed it.
It needed it.

921
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:58,040
So we get Annabeth walking in
like a boss with that shield and

922
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,240
delivers it to Aries.
So good.

923
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,680
What now, bitch?
Yeah, you dropped this.

924
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,880
And that's right, we're both
here.

925
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,560
Yeah, you left this at amusement
park just randomly.

926
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:17,360
I got it.
Get us across the country.

927
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:23,560
So he follows through with his
deal and just like the buck, he

928
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,640
puts them into kindness.
International animal transport.

929
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,880
I am glad that we didn't really
see any animals.

930
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,160
Right.
And I hope we don't.

931
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,600
I have a feeling we won't like,
maybe Grover will be

932
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,640
uncomfortable, which is
upsetting, but I'm glad we

933
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,040
didn't see those.
Like 3.

934
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,600
There's. 3.
Right, three animals in here.

935
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,880
I don't need to see it with the
balloon and being sad.

936
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,600
Who?
One of them has like a lollipop

937
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,640
stuck to them or something?
Yeah, yeah.

938
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,880
I don't want to.
See, the food's mixed up.

939
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,720
I don't like it, Yeah.
But of course they're in there

940
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,080
and they're going straight to
Las Vegas.

941
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,840
Viva Las Vegas.
To see Hermes at the Lotus

942
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,520
Casino.
Yeah, I like how they're like,

943
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,600
you know, each thing that's
happening in the show is just,

944
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,000
like, naturally happening,
right?

945
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,560
It's not just randomly, like,
oh, the thing broke down.

946
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,400
Oh, we're in Vegas.
You know what I mean?

947
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,240
I like how there's a point to
this.

948
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,320
But before we go, Grover
delivers one of the best lines

949
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,240
ever.
He says thanks for the emotional

950
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:25,560
abuse and the cheeseburgers.
Oh, and the ride?

951
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,680
It's like by.
Snaps.

952
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,720
These kids have had it.
They've had it with these gods.

953
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:34,520
They're especially Aries.
They're just like enough because

954
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,080
even Percy then steps up to him
and he's like, you want to play,

955
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,960
it's going down.
This like 2 foot tall blonde kid

956
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,320
that doesn't even know how to
water bend correctly and the God

957
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,040
of War.
And he's like, you're going to

958
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:56,000
find out you're such an idiot.
I love it.

959
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,680
I love it, but like, he's ready.
Oh my God.

960
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,360
He needs to get his water
bending under control before he

961
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,080
tries to do.
Anything.

962
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,440
I mean, we're just, it's good
that we're at the place that

963
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,480
when he's in a complete panic,
he can make some magic happen.

964
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,480
That's.
Saving Annabeth in the water.

965
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Yeah, Great.
Yeah.

966
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,880
So we're there.
We're at that point.

967
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,800
It's true.
And then they get in the thing

968
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,880
and Grover's like, I know who
sold the Bolt.

969
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,720
End of episode.
Oh my God.

970
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,480
Next episode.
On the next episode of Percy

971
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,400
Jackson, The Olympian.
We get the Lotus Hotel and

972
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,800
Casino.
I'm so excited.

973
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,320
It's one of like it's something
that keeps coming up in the

974
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,480
books, but it's also like such a
fun thing that I feel like they

975
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:42,480
need to redeem from the movie.
I'm very excited to see the the

976
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,040
people there that are dressed in
different decades of clothing.

977
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,160
That'll be really fun to see.
Also, we need to keep your ears

978
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:55,320
out for the name D'Angelo.
Missing any d'angelos, kids?

979
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,960
A brother and sister, Brad.
Are you there?

980
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,160
I do like, though, that they're
introducing some of the gods

981
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,720
that do play a big part in the
series early, because it's one

982
00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:06,880
of those things where you hear
the names a lot in the books and

983
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,920
then you don't see them until
later on.

984
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,720
But I like in the show that it's
like we're going to put faces to

985
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,480
some of these.
Yeah, you get to put a face to a

986
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:14,360
name.
Yeah.

987
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,400
Do you think that we're going to
get a musical number from Mr.

988
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,200
Hermes?
100%, Absolutely.

989
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,680
Not really, Yeah.
You don't think so?

990
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,480
Like Hamilton played on Disney
Plus during the pandemic.

991
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,440
You don't think that?
They're like, he wrote the music

992
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,560
for Moana, Yeah.
Disney likes him for his music.

993
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,960
I think it's just going to be a
thing where he like, gives them

994
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,400
some money and they're like,
thanks and he's like, you're

995
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,080
welcome.
No, I can't.

996
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,920
I need more because.
Like Maui was a God.

997
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:51,120
When we saw right and it's true,
all connecting I.

998
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,520
Because when we first saw him,
when he was delivering Medusa's

999
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,160
head, he was singing I'm like.
True.

1000
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,520
Sing again, like just one.
I wouldn't mind it.

1001
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:00,320
I wouldn't mind.
It.

1002
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,800
Oh, I wouldn't mind it.
Yeah, but I think you have to

1003
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,200
pay the upper echelon of the Lin
Manuel Miranda fun, you know?

1004
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,600
Like, I could just imagine they
like go into the thing and it's

1005
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,240
just like a big musical number
and it's like welcome to the

1006
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:15,760
Lotus Casino And it's like here
you can do rides and you'll

1007
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,680
never have to leave.
And it's like, you know,

1008
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,520
heavy-handed like that.
We're going to work on it.

1009
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,400
Yeah, I didn't sing at all.
I'm not going to sing.

1010
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,720
We're workshopping it.
By the next episode, we're going

1011
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:28,320
to have a musical number.
Bonus episode Nothing but a

1012
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,840
musical.
Welcome to the Lotus Hotel and

1013
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,760
Casino.
I don't.

1014
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,240
I I wouldn't do it.
You're going to have to find out

1015
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:38,600
other Co hosts for that episode.
I Can't Sing.

1016
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:40,400
No way.
Comment below.

1017
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,400
Do you want to be in our
musicals at the Lotus Hotel and

1018
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:47,560
Casino?
So 3 episodes left, which is

1019
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,680
insane.
There's so many episodes.

1020
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,720
We still have a couple of states
to get to, so they better travel

1021
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:54,440
fast.
We do.

1022
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,560
They got to go to Santa Monica
because Percy thinks that

1023
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,040
Poseidon's going to help him.
There's a lot.

1024
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,960
Back to New York and underworld
Long Island again.

1025
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,400
We're in the ends of world.
We got to get to Krusty.

1026
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,800
All right.
Well, exciting things are ahead.

1027
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,920
The journey continues.
Folks, I feel like it's only

1028
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,040
going to get more actiony as we
go.

1029
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:15,920
You know what I mean, right?
After the musical number.

1030
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,960
Right.
During the musical, it's.

1031
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:24,240
Like the Pirates of Panzam.
All right.

1032
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:25,640
So till next week.
Goodbye.
