'Percy Jackson' Episode 6: We Take A Zebra to Vegas

1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,400
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,080
listening to A Bite of.
Where we take our current

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,960
favorite pop culture obsession
and enjoy it 1 Nibble at a time

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,200
The.
Pre penultimate nibble of Percy

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,120
Jackson.
Oh.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Wow.
More.

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,600
Peas.
Yeah, that makes me happy.

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,600
We are almost to the end of the
first season.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Second season hasn't been
renewed yet, but you know, I

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,960
think it was released that the
first episode has been streamed

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,360
like 26,000,000 times or
something like that.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,280
We're on our way.
Like, just announce it.

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,920
You know, Disney would have to
be a real big bunch of fools

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,000
tonight.
Green light a second season of

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,400
Percy Jackson.
The Olympians.

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,800
That was a lot more tame than I
thought you were going to go.

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,920
This is PG.
Yeah.

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,360
Well, we have an E.
This is a family podcast.

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440
No, it's not.
Listen to our episode on

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Ghosted.
It's not.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Well, let's not get into
ghosted.

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,640
OK, so we're on our way to Vegas
in this episode.

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Before we get to all of the
Lotus Loconus, I try to

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,600
alliterate.
Kind of do it.

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,280
Almost, almost did it.
That's pretty good.

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Make sure you're following this
podcast.

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Sure you're, you know,
subscribed yet?

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Alerts when the episodes drop.
We have a page you're on.

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,840
We have special episodes on
there.

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,040
We have some fun things coming
up.

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,840
You might want to go on there
and check it out.

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,320
It's 2024, baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

33
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,680
And thank you guys.
I every time we've been asking

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,640
for reviews because we're on our
way to get 200.

35
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,920
So that way we can be, I don't
know, 200 verified or whatever

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000
it is.
You guys have been doing it.

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,240
So we're slowly getting there,
keep doing it.

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,760
We're seeing them.
We can't wait to post some of

39
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,200
the new ones we got.
Just go down there, leave some

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040
reviews or just stars if you're
on Spotify, No.

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Yeah.
All right.

42
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,840
That's tough.
Thanks.

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Folks, y'all are the best, and
we want to be kind as well and

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,080
offer you a spoiler alert.
Because between this episode and

45
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240
the one before it, things are
changing from the book.

46
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,920
So, you know, if you don't want
to be spoiled about what

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920
happened, please go watch it
first and then come back.

48
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,600
I do feel like these last couple
episodes have really started

49
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,440
changing things.
I like them, but we're in

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760
uncharted waters.
Well, that's what's waters.

51
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040
That's what's exciting though,
is that you know when you read

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,080
the book you're like, well, I
know it's going to happen, but

53
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
now we don't necessarily know
it's going to happen or how it's

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,720
going to happen.
I dear.

55
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,360
So we're just we're just
blindfolded like everyone else.

56
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,920
It's fun though.
It's fine because then it's

57
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:34,200
like, oh, I can see how this
connects, but I don't know.

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,480
They've thrown us in the deep
end.

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Oh.
More water punts?

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,520
OK, we'll work on it.
We still have a whole episode

61
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,080
ahead of us, so let us
officially take a bite of Percy

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Jackson and the Olympians.
Episode 6.

63
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,080
We take a Zebra to Vegas,
directed by Jet Wilkinson and

64
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,800
written by Jonathan East
Steinberg and Joe Trax, who has

65
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000
six thumbs and is headed to Sin
City.

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Our favorite trio, the Lotus
Hotel and Casino awaits.

67
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,760
There, Grover meets a fellow
Seder and Percy and Annabeth

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,840
have a crap side chat with
Hermes.

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,560
The son of Poseidon fails his
driving test and plunges into

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120
the depths for a bit of bad
news.

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Thumbs baby.
When you said six thumbs, I was

72
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,680
like, oh, I have two.
There's three of them.

73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,160
Got it.
Math.

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,720
There's three.
There's So there's Grover.

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Yeah, I got it.
I got it.

76
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480
So we're in, you know, Kindness
International.

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,920
We're in the storage container,
right when the episode opens.

78
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,280
I was very confused.
Very, very confused.

79
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,160
So Percy is continuing to have
visions, dreams, eavesdropping

80
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,640
on dreams, whatever you want to
call it.

81
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,640
It's all over the place.
But he's back at, like, Yancey

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Headmaster office, and he's
hearing this conversation of who

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,400
I'm going to assume as the
headmaster.

84
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Beyoncé to the Lightning thief,
the person that stole the Master

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Bowl.
And he's kind of reprimanding

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,840
him just a little bit.
I gave you the tools to do it,

87
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520
and what happened, it didn't
work.

88
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,000
If you don't, you know, do
better, somebody's going to take

89
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,360
your place.
Like Percy.

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,760
And he looked right at him.
So I was hoping for another Rick

91
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,120
Riordan appearance in the
principal's office here, but we

92
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,840
did not get one.
What if Rick just is Chronos

93
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880
from here on out, right?
That'd be great.

94
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680
And yeah, that would be really
great, but unfortunately, no, I

95
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360
did not see him here unless he
was in that corner and they just

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,400
didn't show it.
But the interesting thing about

97
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,240
these dreams is that it's
really, it's a it's a mash

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,960
together of what's actually
happening, of this voice talking

99
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,080
to someone, but it's in a way
that Percy can perceive it.

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,360
So it is the headmaster, right?
So, right.

101
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
So it's kind of like this
mishmash of this voice talking

102
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960
to him, but he doesn't really
know who it is, so his mind is

103
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,880
just making up a figure.
Yeah.

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,160
And I mean, it's interesting,
right?

105
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,360
It's like The Mist is the thing
that as the series gets on,

106
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,640
there's more that kind of
happens with The Mist or we get

107
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600
to know more.
So I'm curious if The Mist is at

108
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,480
play here, because if Percy is
eavesdropping on a dream or

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,080
something or a conversation, why
does it look like something he

110
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,840
knows, Right.
So it would be maybe the mist is

111
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,520
like, obscuring it.
Maybe they're like having a

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880
conversation and they're like,
put the mist over us, like the

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,360
mist of silence, and that's what
he sees.

114
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,600
It's very interesting.
I'm curious to see how they

115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680
handled it in the show going
forward.

116
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,520
But I that is interesting.
Right.

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,160
Yeah, it's it's in my mind.
It's just that his mind cannot

118
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,840
actually perceive who it is.
So it's just creating characters

119
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,120
out of people he knows.
Well, since it's Kronos, he's a

120
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560
bunch of little tiny pieces in
the bottom of Tartarus.

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,760
So spoiler.
Like hundreds and thousands of

122
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,280
years spoiler.
Well, no, because at this point

123
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:01,120
they think it's they think it's
Hades.

124
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,600
Right, right.
Yeah.

125
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,240
I mean, I've already said it's
Chronos, so whoopsies.

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,360
Over Spoiler alert.
I stood it a while ago whenever

127
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
you guys probably listened to us
talk about the book.

128
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,920
So it's Chronos.
But it is funny watching them

129
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,280
talk about it and they're like
Hades, Hades and it's like you

130
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:22,560
guys, you're even know.
You're so silly in this

131
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,520
conversation, though, there was
something else that was dropped.

132
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,840
It's the war beyond Zeus and
Poseidon, so there's something

133
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:34,280
bigger at play than what Zeus
is.

134
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:36,480
Trying to do this is not the end
game.

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,160
No.
And I really like how it's like,

136
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:39,600
you know, we have to do this for
Zeus.

137
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,840
Zeus is like, scary.
He's very powerful.

138
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,880
And it's like somebody's already
like doing something that's like

139
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080
has nothing to do with Zeus.
We haven't even seen Zeus or

140
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,600
Poseidon or any of these
characters.

141
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,440
So it's really interesting of
like, we're supposed to fear or

142
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Revere these characters, but
like, we haven't seen him yet.

143
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,240
So like, Percy's just like, OK.
And imagine being, I mean us as

144
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,560
the audience is one thing, but
Percy has no idea who these

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,600
people are, and yet he's on this
quest to try and save them from

146
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,680
starting a war.
Yeah, and he tells them it's not

147
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,800
time for us to meet just yet.
Dun Dun Dun.

148
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,120
When?
Scary on to iris messaging,

149
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,520
which was something that we were
very excited to see.

150
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760
You know, when we did our
interviews and we talked to the

151
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,720
visual effects people and they
had talked about how they kind

152
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,720
of got the iris messaging from
like putting an iPhone

153
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,800
flashlight through a water
bottle.

154
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,640
That's exactly what that looks
like.

155
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Yeah.
I'm really curious what it looks

156
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,480
on the other side of somebody
getting it like.

157
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,920
Is it just that, but just
floating in the middle of the

158
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,200
room, you know?
Yeah.

159
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Or Or is it just like, you know,
since it's Chiron's office, like

160
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,400
everybody's office has a human
cell phone and a prism to get

161
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
your iris messages?
I know later in the books Percy

162
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,360
in his cabin, there's like that
fountain that's in there and

163
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,880
that kind of acts as like an
iris messaging pool almost.

164
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,680
And I'm I'm wondering if Kyron
just has one in his office, just

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,840
like a little fountain that.
Oh yeah, that would be lovely.

166
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,200
And I would also just like there
to be a voice that's just like

167
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,080
incoming iris message.
That would be coming.

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,120
Iris message.
Which is the iris messaging

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,080
ringtone?
What is that?

170
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Oh gosh, I I want it to be my
old Nokia ringtone.

171
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,960
It's very.
Analog.

172
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,360
So one thing that I was actually
really glad that we didn't see

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,280
any animals except for when they
were free.

174
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,360
So I know we talked about that
last episode of like, please

175
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,640
don't like we.
We know we don't need to see

176
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
them.
I'm glad we did not see any of

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,120
them.
I agree.

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,280
Very cool.
So what do you think about the

179
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,000
conversation with Luke, Annabeth
and Percy through iris

180
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,240
messaging?
So even in the books, I never

181
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,520
liked that Luke was in Chiron
Office, right?

182
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,440
It's.
Weird.

183
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,160
It always bothered me.
There's no reason for a camper

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,320
to be in.
What happened?

185
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,240
I just thought of something, but
I'm not going to say anything.

186
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,960
Sorry.
I'd like had a like an epiphany

187
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,960
right now.
What a mysterious podcast where

188
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,680
we just think things but we
don't say them.

189
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,960
If I say something, it's going
to spoil OK stuff and I'm like,

190
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,920
oh, it makes sense, but
whatever, go on.

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,680
All right.
But that always bothered me, and

192
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,720
I'm surprised that it didn't
bother them.

193
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,840
Like, why are you It did.
Like, why are you in his office?

194
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Yeah, they were kind of like,
where's Chyron?

195
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Yeah.
And he's like, oh, he's like out

196
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,760
there making sure the camp,
like, stays together because

197
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,080
there's a war looming.
So everybody's picking sides,

198
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,560
which I think it's really
interesting.

199
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,440
Right.
And it's like, also, yeah, like,

200
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,480
why are you in his office?
Of course he's gone, but then

201
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,960
you're in his office.
Fishy.

202
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,160
I know your dad is the God of
thieves, but like.

203
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Maybe don't and also don't
answer the iris message.

204
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,840
Well, that's what I'm saying
though.

205
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Do you have a choice?
Does it just appear because she

206
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,400
said show me Chiron in his
office or something like that?

207
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,200
It was very specific, so I
wonder if it just appears in the

208
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920
office and whoever's there is
like, hi.

209
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,160
Well, if that is what's going
on, then Luke is 1 smooth

210
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,560
character because he did not
even flinch.

211
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480
He's like, oh hi I.
Was like, guys, there you are.

212
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,560
What's going on?
Got any updates for me?

213
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:28,880
I've been waiting, but the
conversation itself does kind of

214
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,800
lead us to knowing that things
aren't going so well at the camp

215
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,280
and that we also see this moment
of, you know, ever since

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,440
everything happened in the
thrill Tunnel, O love.

217
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,760
Just called Tunnel of Love but.
That's not what it's really

218
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,160
called.
It totally is.

219
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,560
No, the Neon Leon.
Leah Sava Jeffries in an

220
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:54,080
Instagram thing that they
posted, she literally said we

221
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
just got done filming the Tunnel
of Love scene.

222
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
That's all we need to know.
It's the Tunnel of Love.

223
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,920
OK fine, it does make it easier
for me.

224
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,080
So after the tunnel of love
scene, they are now more open to

225
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,960
being friends with each other,
which is wonderful.

226
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,120
They now have a bond and Luke
notices this bond between.

227
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,480
Them loved this part.
So after he, they kind of talk

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,640
about, you know, everything
that's going on and they're

229
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,240
talking about the monster of the
day, like Saturday and Sunday,

230
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,840
this is Medusa was this thing.
And then the Chimera.

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,840
He's like, wow, you guys are
like arguing like a married

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,640
couple made him so awkward.
Like, totally tiny kids.

233
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:39,520
But I I do appreciate Percy
acknowledging the comment and

234
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,160
saying not to change the
subject, but I'm going to change

235
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,800
it anyway.
But to absolutely change the

236
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,760
subject because, dear God.
You know is I hope that there is

237
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,040
some sort of God of therapy
because I think in modern times

238
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,920
after these demigods go on
quests and if they do survive,

239
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,120
they do need to talk to a mental
health practitioner.

240
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Because if on Sunday they're
almost, they are beheading

241
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Medusa and then, you know,
whatever, the next day they're

242
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,120
almost drowning and.
There was no monsters on Sunday,

243
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,880
by the way.
They head off.

244
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,560
Yeah.
It was the Lord's day.

245
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,800
Day of.
Rest day of rest, Yes.

246
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,880
No, they just go back to Mr. D
and he gives him a bead for that

247
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,960
year.
And they just cry.

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,520
A single tear comes down the
ride.

249
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,720
They're like, thanks Mr. D.
And it's branded with whatever

250
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,200
that quest like the thing, the
theme of that year.

251
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800
So it's like, great, now I
forever have to have this on.

252
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Remember how you almost died
with this?

253
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,560
Medusa's head.
Medusa's head.

254
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,600
It's fun for you.
Here you go friend.

255
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,080
No.
So they also talk about, though,

256
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,760
how they think it's Clarice that
stole the Master Bowl.

257
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,200
Again, like we said at the top
of the episode, they're changing

258
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,840
a lot of things.
It could be.

259
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,880
I'm just saying.
That's true.

260
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160
It could be.
Somebody else could have stole

261
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,240
the ball.
Who knows?

262
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,120
The whole conversation of Kronos
or the headmaster of Yancey gave

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,640
the Lightning Thief the tools to
steal the ball and it didn't

264
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,320
work.
So who knows?

265
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Maybe who you think it is isn't
actually.

266
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,000
And maybe there are two of them.
Oh God, I can't handle two.

267
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,320
It's.
Actually, Percy Jackson and the

268
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,800
lightning thieves, the thieves,
the thieves of lightning.

269
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,840
So one of my favorite parts of
this episode, Grover.

270
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Grover is one of my favorite
parts of this whole episode.

271
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,640
And again, he comes in with some
of the best lines.

272
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,200
He talks about how the animals
were telling him that the people

273
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,760
doing this truck are idiots and
they have a plan to escape, but

274
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,200
they're just missing thumbs.
Of course they are.

275
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,640
Yeah, of course they're missing
thumbs.

276
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,120
Also him popping out of the top
of the trailer.

277
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240
That was my favorite.
He's just so.

278
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Cute.
He's just one with the wind.

279
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,680
Yeah, I.
Love.

280
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,960
Him, he's just, he's just a
little navigator and he puts his

281
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,600
head out and he knows exactly
where they are.

282
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,120
I just love.
I just love his natural

283
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,080
abilities.
I think that he is just pleasant

284
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,600
and love and nature.
I think if this were the 70s or

285
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,840
the 60s, he'd be like Peace,
Love and Seders Man.

286
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,120
He's one with the natural world.
100%.

287
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,680
With pan, yeah.
Well, Pan, So what is so lovely

288
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,480
about this is that they do
indeed free these, you know,

289
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,480
illegally being illegally
trafficked animals.

290
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,520
Yes.
And so, you know, Grover's just

291
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,480
so pleased that they did this.
I love that Percy is like, isn't

292
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,400
this like dangerous?
And he's like, no, I gave him a

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,080
Seders bus and he'll be fine.
He's like, no, I mean the

294
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600
people.
And Kerber's like, that's fine.

295
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,680
Like, listen, who cares?
People that put them in this

296
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,800
position, so they'll have to pay
for a little.

297
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,600
True.
It was mayhem.

298
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,760
I I also love how it's just like
in the middle of an intersection

299
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
and there's just all these
animals everywhere.

300
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,640
It's like, yeah, this is how we
do things.

301
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,000
We don't do it quietly.
It's just an explosion of stuff.

302
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Happening.
And you know what?

303
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,880
It does feel so, like real
because you're dealing with

304
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,520
what, 212 year olds and a 24
year old Seder.

305
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880
So it's like there is no
finesse, there is no quietly

306
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,240
doing things.
It's like we need to do the

307
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,280
thing and if it means that
animals are everywhere, then so

308
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,360
be it.
We freed them on to the next

309
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,200
thing.
Percy asking how do we know what

310
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760
the Lotus Hotel is?
And it was saying the thing with

311
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,640
the giant Lotus.
And I love the line of she

312
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,280
didn't know that she saw it.
And he was like, Oh yeah, you

313
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,800
were just two seconds ahead of
me.

314
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,800
Can we just, like, agree?
Like the easy ones?

315
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,960
Just give it to me?
Like, it's so good.

316
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,920
I'm liking their relationship,
especially after The Tunnel of

317
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Love because they seem more able
to play with each other a little

318
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,560
bit, because she's also laughing
at him and teasing him, which we

319
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,120
didn't get that until now.
We're like 6 episodes in and now

320
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040
they're friends.
It's a beautiful thing when you

321
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,040
can jab at your friends.
We also back in the truck, got

322
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,240
our second seaweed brain when
you told them to Chuck the

323
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,720
Drachma CB.
Brain and Wise Girl gets said

324
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600
quite a few times in this
episode and it's very lovely.

325
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,360
I like their nicknames for each
other.

326
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Can you tell me about my best
friend?

327
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,720
So the Lotus Hotel, the Lotus
Hotel.

328
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,600
I'm going to put a disclaimer
out there.

329
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,960
I tried.
I tried with all my might to

330
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,280
find a Nico or Bianca D'Angelo,
anything.

331
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,840
There's too much, There's too
much happening.

332
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,040
There were some kids.
I could not tell.

333
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,920
I know Becky Riordan said that
there's something with Nico and

334
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,120
and if you found it and if you
know, please tell us.

335
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560
Becky, give us a hint.
Tell give us a clue.

336
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,360
Yeah.
Oh yeah.

337
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Please.
Becky, The last episode we said

338
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,800
hi to Becky and she posted a
picture with her in front of the

339
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Empire State Building saying hi
Becky, if you are listening to

340
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,160
this, sorry we're putting you to
work.

341
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,280
Can you tell us?
Yeah, just.

342
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,720
Show us just.
Show us.

343
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,680
I tried so much.
I tried to look for a sad, gay

344
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,800
Italian little boy and I could
not find it.

345
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,560
And he was sitting right in
front of you.

346
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Yeah, right next to me on the
couch.

347
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:09,880
Exactly.
I tried.

348
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,800
You did.
You.

349
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,160
You really did.
And we did.

350
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,800
I'm telling you on our second
watch, I know for myself, I

351
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,880
wasn't even paying attention to
our main players.

352
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,640
All I was doing was looking at
the background.

353
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,960
So we really did try.
I do want everyone to just pause

354
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,319
the episode right now, play Dua
Lipa's levitating to really get

355
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:32,600
into the feel of the Lotus Hotel
and Casino, because that did me

356
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,680
right.
The needle drop was fantastic.

357
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,160
I know.
Yeah, I know that in the movie

358
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,120
that shall not be named,
everybody online was talking

359
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,800
about like, poker, face poker.
What is it going to be?

360
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,240
The song?
I'm glad it wasn't that, because

361
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,600
that's too on the nose, right?
And who doesn't love Dua Lipa?

362
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Great.
Fantastic.

363
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,080
And it played just when they got
into the casino.

364
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,360
That's it.
That's all we needed.

365
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,280
Needle drop.
Done.

366
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,520
I was so excited, yeah.
And I loved it.

367
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,160
We both went oh.
I was like, yeah, let's the

368
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,080
dance, baby.
So.

369
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,080
So the the casino itself, before
we get into like what actually

370
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,480
happens in the casino, how did
you feel about the look of it?

371
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,320
Like what Did you?
What are you feeling?

372
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Give me what you're feeling.
I think on the outside it looks

373
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,200
really impressive, right?
There seems to be some sort of

374
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,640
roller coaster.
It's huge, so you know, tons of

375
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,080
people can be there.
It definitely gives you that

376
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,080
Vegas casino feel.
And even when you walk into it,

377
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,480
I've only been to Vegas once and
it's just like this all

378
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,800
consuming thing that once you go
into a casino in Vegas, it's

379
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,480
like that's it.
That's where you live.

380
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,480
It's like the smells, the
sights, the people.

381
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,000
It's just a totally, you know,
all-encompassing experience.

382
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,160
So I think that they captured
it.

383
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,960
Yeah, they, I mean casinos have
been to quite a few, especially

384
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,680
being in Colorado.
They have a lot of casinos in

385
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,320
Colorado.
That's how it feels, right.

386
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,640
It's like once you go in, you're
just so I like the aspect of,

387
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,920
like, them adding the Lotus
eaters to a casino.

388
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,200
It's just very smart.
It's like there's no clocks in a

389
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000
casino.
They always give you drinks,

390
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,920
They try to keep you there and
they do.

391
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,040
And in this it's like, no,
they'll keep you there forever,

392
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,840
forever.
So that's just like an added

393
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,200
step to their quest here.
And shout out for all of, you

394
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,800
know, librarian friends, because
there's this conversation when

395
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,400
they're talking about the
Odysseus and the Odyssey and the

396
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,880
and eating the Lotus flower and
Grover or Annabeth says to

397
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,440
Percy, have you read the
Odyssey?

398
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,960
And he said, well, the graphic
novel.

399
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,640
And Annabeth gives him a look
and he says it still counts.

400
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,840
And I'm like, that's right,
Percy, graphic novel counts.

401
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,160
You know what else counts?
Audiobooks count is reading.

402
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,120
Reading is reading.
Reading is reading, baby.

403
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,280
Don't let anybody tell you any
different If if somebody is

404
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,640
literally telling you the book,
reading it to you, that's

405
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,200
reading.
So you are reading.

406
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,160
You can read Percy Jackson, you
can read the graphic novel of

407
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,480
Percy Jackson, or you can listen
to the audiobook.

408
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,640
And Noah is switching off
between the audiobooks and

409
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,360
reading.
OK, right now.

410
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,680
All right, let's.
Just before, I know, I know

411
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,000
we're at the casino where
everybody wants to know and talk

412
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,840
about, but this is what I do and
I want to know your reading

413
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,000
habits, right?
I'm very fascinated with the way

414
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,280
people read.
I in bed, I have my iPad and I

415
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,680
read the the e-book or physical
book, whichever one I have.

416
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,880
But when I'm driving or if I'm
at work, when I can't

417
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,040
physically, like actually look
at the page, I listen to it.

418
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,000
And I always when I get back at
night to read, I have to like

419
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600
find where I was in the audio
book and like keep switching

420
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,080
between the two.
It's mayhem, but like, I get

421
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,520
booked through books.
Very quickly.

422
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,480
I think it's a very impressive
feat.

423
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,320
I love it.
The only the only time I don't

424
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,000
do that is if I'm not really
vibing with the audiobook.

425
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,480
Then it's just like, I can't.
I can't, can't.

426
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,440
Yeah.
But with Percy Jackson, luckily

427
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,440
they're fine.
Yeah.

428
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,360
So I'm just like, this is, this
is OK.

429
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,040
I do.
I do want to say, though, the

430
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,600
Percy Jackson narrator, like if
there's a like an onomatopoeia

431
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,360
or something, something that
describes something that's

432
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,840
happening, he like, does it.
And it's kind of funny because I

433
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,720
have to remember these are for
kids, right?

434
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,120
So I'm like fine, I get it.
Yes, you're, you know, you

435
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560
you're very sophisticated,
listening gave abilities.

436
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,680
Instead of, instead of, it's
like, you know, blah blah blah,

437
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,880
he yelled.
It's like he does it or like he

438
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,280
roars it.
That's fantastic.

439
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,400
But anyway, let me know your
reading habits because I does.

440
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Anybody else do what I do?
Let me know, because I know

441
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,880
Derek.
He'll listen to a book, but he's

442
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,200
reading another book.
Yes.

443
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,560
So I'm always reading two books
at the same time.

444
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,680
I'm always listening to one and
I'm always reading one.

445
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,840
Although sometimes, if I do have
access to the physical copy of

446
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,200
the book that I'm listening to,
I do like to look through it to

447
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,960
see if there's any sketches or
to see what the chapter headers

448
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,440
look like.
So I will follow along in that

449
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,160
way.
But I don't do what you do well.

450
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,960
I'll like, partly read and
partly listen to the same book.

451
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,440
I mean, how else do you get
through a book?

452
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,520
The only time that will happen
is Similarly, if I start to

453
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,520
listen to a book but I don't
like the narrator, then I'll

454
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200
just fully read the rest of it
because I want to know what

455
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,000
happens.
Right.

456
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
That's fair.
Yeah.

457
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,080
I mean, there's very rarely
where I'll turn off an audio

458
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,080
book, but there's sometimes I
feel like, especially during the

459
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,920
pandemic where they had like, I
guess people couldn't come into

460
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640
the studios and stuff like that,
so they had the people reading

461
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,920
it at home.
So the audio quality was kind of

462
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,720
like, accurate.
So that's the only time where

463
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,120
I'm like noticing some newer
books.

464
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,280
I'm like, I don't like those.
But anyway, let us know you're

465
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,840
reading habits and how you read
books.

466
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,720
Yeah, because it's fun.
I'd love to and also plug for

467
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,560
Libby the Libby app from your
local library.

468
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,880
Go to your local library.
Ask them about Libby or however

469
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,680
they do, digital books.
Your life and wallet will never

470
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,040
be the same.
That's the T that is Libby.

471
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,160
Sponsor us.
I'm just kidding.

472
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,600
They're nonprofit and all that
stuff for libraries.

473
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,680
OK, so the Lotus Casino, right?
So in this casino, I was really

474
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,600
curious on the change from the
book of them not getting a hotel

475
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,320
room and all this stuff and
having to go in there to find

476
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,600
her, me specifically, which I
liked because we get to see

477
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,960
another God, they split up.
I know.

478
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,240
And I, he specifically was like,
I thought we weren't going to do

479
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,560
this anywhere.
And it's like we have to do

480
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,440
this.
We're running out of time.

481
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,760
It's like guys just don't split
up.

482
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800
I'm glad they did because we got
some cool scenes separately, but

483
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,760
it's never a good idea to split.
Up.

484
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,480
It's in any piece of media.
It is never a good idea to split

485
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,440
up.
No, no.

486
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,360
So Annabeth and Percy, before
they get to Hermes, they have a

487
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:47,240
conversation that's interesting
and it's about Luke's mom.

488
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,760
Annabeth talks about Luke's mom
a little bit, and then we find

489
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,120
out a little bit more with
Hermes.

490
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,760
But she cut off the Iris message
with Luke before Percy could

491
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,440
mention Hermes because he
doesn't like Hermes and it's not

492
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,120
like he just doesn't like him
because he was never in his

493
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,320
life.
It's because he went into his

494
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,920
life and then something terrible
happened to his mother that Luke

495
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:12,600
doesn't like her and me.
So like justifiable hatred I

496
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,240
would say.
And also good friend for

497
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,800
Annabeth being like we don't
need to we don't need to

498
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,320
mention.
Right.

499
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,520
We don't need to mention that.
And then he also brings up his

500
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,000
visions and stuff that he's
having.

501
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,440
And I like some of these scenes
in this with Annabeth where she

502
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840
doesn't know everything.
He's like, well, what do you

503
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,880
what do you think about this?
And she's like, I don't know, I

504
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,640
guess we'll have to find out.
And he's like, well, what chance

505
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,520
do I have?
None.

506
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,800
No, exactly.
But she's just like, I can't

507
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,960
know everything.
This is kind of brand new.

508
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,520
We're experiencing some of these
things together, right?

509
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,800
But I think that's hard for him
to fathom because so far on this

510
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,360
journey, she's known everything.
She's always had the answers.

511
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,480
So what does it mean when
neither of us have the answers?

512
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,000
It feels a little scarier.
They're just kids.

513
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,880
Yeah, but I do like that, he
pointed out.

514
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,360
He's like, we have information
that gods don't, so that's some

515
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:08,480
big information.
So like, they have a card that

516
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,600
now they can play with the gods
depending on whatever is going

517
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,640
to happen, especially with Zeus
and Poseidon, because they seem

518
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,560
like they're going to want to go
to war already.

519
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,200
It might be something to make
them band together.

520
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,000
Yeah.
Again, I just think that a nice

521
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,120
sit down conversation could
settle a lot of this, but that's

522
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,280
just me.
It could.

523
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,640
That's just me.
It could.

524
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,280
So before we get to Hermes, I
want to talk about Grover.

525
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,200
OK.
This.

526
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,440
I don't really know what to make
of it.

527
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,600
I mean, I get it.
But, like, it was like, way out

528
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,280
of left field.
I was like, whoa, who is

529
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Augustus?
Yeah, so he runs into Augustus,

530
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,080
who he knows.
He's fellow Seder, good friends

531
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,520
with his family.
He did stuff for his uncle, all

532
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000
this stuff.
And he was a searcher for Pan.

533
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,400
He went to go search Chopin, but
he's at the Lotus Casino.

534
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,280
Didn't make it too.
Far.

535
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,400
Did not make it too far and it's
Grover goes through some things

536
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,720
with this right He he talks to
Augustus about, you know I found

537
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,800
Ferdinand.
He only got to New Jersey like

538
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,080
that's not really that far.
But Augustus, eating, literally

539
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,400
eating there, said don't eat
anything you can't eat any of

540
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,560
the Lotus flowers is all out of
it.

541
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,120
Like, Grover is literally like
opening up to him and he's just

542
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:29,040
like, I don't Who are you?
He's like, are we best friends?

543
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,440
No, I don't remember you,
actually.

544
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,840
Poor Grover.
Yeah, this, this whole scene is

545
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,600
really interesting.
And you know, I think for us

546
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,960
with Grover throughout the
series so far, he's kind of been

547
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,920
the more level headed out of the
trio, right?

548
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,040
He's kind of been the great
equalizer between the two of

549
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,360
them, like come on guys, get
along.

550
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,840
But when he's off on his own in
a magical casino, I think that

551
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,520
he sort of it.
It shows that as a Seder his

552
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,680
where his true passion and drive
lies and it is to find.

553
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,280
Pan and it's really upsetting
when he he found his uncle right

554
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,360
and turned to stone by Medusa
and he found Augustus who went

555
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:15,400
off to find Pan.
So he found two people that

556
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,120
aren't doing a good job and it's
like, no wonder all these

557
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:23,880
licenses to search for pan are
being given out.

558
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,640
And it doesn't pan out because
because of all the stuff.

559
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:34,080
But it's like I'm wondering if
for him it's more like what

560
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,640
chance do I have if like these
people that I looked up to and

561
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,840
assumed were doing great things
are like not?

562
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:46,200
Well, yeah, I kind of feel like
maybe the Searcher licenses

563
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,640
don't matter because they're all
horrible at it.

564
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:54,000
I mean, sorry, but I also think
I maybe that's part of it for

565
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,240
Grover.
But for me, what I was thinking

566
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,200
in this moment is that he's
willing to get lost in this

567
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,000
fantasy world because it could
offer him what he's always

568
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,840
wanted.
And it is to be a searcher and

569
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,240
to find Pan.
And that's why he's able to

570
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,320
forget so quickly.
Well, he's also.

571
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Alone.
Exactly.

572
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,440
So it's like it's it's a double
whammy.

573
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,720
Yeah, as Annabeth was like.
When you're alone, it's easier

574
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,560
to forget what's important.
And it happens quite quickly.

575
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,680
He remembers not to eat
anything, which I was very proud

576
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,840
of him for.
He does.

577
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,920
And when Augustus is like,
they're Nacho chips, what are

578
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,800
you talking about?
The that scene.

579
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,320
I loved that scene because it
came out of nowhere and it got

580
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,640
really intense and I was like,
even though I knew that the

581
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Lotus flower was being pumped
through into the air, When

582
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Grover realizes that and then he
forgets midway through realizing

583
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,960
it and the music is getting
intense, I was just like, cool.

584
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,600
I liked that.
That was good.

585
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,920
But then he's like, you want to
I I almost found Pan.

586
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Do you want to come with me and
help me?

587
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Grover, so OK.
He's not.

588
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,800
I'm going to say the the God of
the natural world in the wild is

589
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,840
probably not in AVR video game.
No, I'm going to put that out

590
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,320
there.
So my question though is about

591
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,440
Augustus and why?
Like it almost feels like

592
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Augustus tricks.
Grover, it is interesting,

593
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,840
that's I got that feeling, but I
don't think he knows enough to

594
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,440
try to trick him.
But then how come later on when

595
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,280
Annabeth and Percy see him, he
tries to run away from them.

596
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,720
It feels like he was put up to
something.

597
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Yeah, that is that is really
interesting.

598
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,600
To separate them.
Maybe we'll find out later that

599
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,200
there's other people in the
works that were trying to, like,

600
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,840
keep them there.
Yeah.

601
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,600
Yeah, I'm not sure that is true.
I I got that vibe.

602
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920
But it also was confusing
because it's like he doesn't

603
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,480
remember anything.
Like he forgot Grover midway

604
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,520
through their conversation.
It was very interesting.

605
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Yeah, I don't think we'll ever
see him again, but.

606
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Something was up with that girl.
I I think what I think that

607
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,120
scene was to do was to show him
like this is kind of the perils

608
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,280
that you're going to go through
if you continue on this, like

609
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200
wanting to search for Pan.
Get over it, girl.

610
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,240
It's also, I love these scenes
without Percy, right?

611
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,040
It's because the the book was
all Percy's POV and it's like

612
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,880
we're getting Grover scenes with
him particularly, which I like.

613
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,320
Because in the book, sometimes
whenever it's like he got to

614
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120
like a thing or something
happened with him, it was kind

615
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,880
of just happening, right,
instead of like building up to

616
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,040
that, you know what I mean?
I like that.

617
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,800
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, we have the this great

618
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,960
cast.
Let's use them.

619
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,440
Let's explore their characters a
little more for sure.

620
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaking of great cast and
characters, Hermes, Lin, Manuel,

621
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,120
Miranda, I love that when they
first see him, he's playing

622
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,760
crafts and he asked them, do you
know how to play her kids?

623
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,480
I love that they sometimes are
so all business.

624
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,600
He's like, Jennifer.
Hiccups are like, are you are

625
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,000
you kidding me right now?
He's like, give me a break.

626
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,760
I also love that Hermes on his,
I guess, days off, puts on his

627
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,520
beige sweat suit and just hangs
out at the Lotus Hotel.

628
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,800
What else are you going to do?
I mean he does exist outside of

629
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,280
space and time, which I guess is
good for him because he can just

630
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,800
go and leave in the casino and
it doesn't matter how much time

631
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,960
has passed by who.
Owns the casino.

632
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Who made it?
I don't know.

633
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,240
I feel like in the books it
might have said.

634
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Does Hermes own it?
Well, that's what I that's what

635
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,400
I got the feeling.
But then I guess who in the

636
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Odyssey are the Lotus that
they're just?

637
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,240
I don't know, don't ask me that
question.

638
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,040
It's more of a charcoal.
It's for everyone.

639
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,320
It's for everyone.
If you know.

640
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,600
If you know the legend, please
comment below.

641
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,640
Again, these are things we can
look up ourselves, but we're

642
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,080
making it interact.
We're in the moment, We're in

643
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,320
the moment, we're playing, we're
having fun.

644
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,960
We're saying yes, then baby.
OK, OK, OK.

645
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,840
So the conversation between
Annabeth and Percy and Hermes is

646
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:10,840
really interesting, and Lynn
does a great job of showing a

647
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,440
bunch of different emotions and
having layers to this character,

648
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,320
right?
The first time we see Hermes is

649
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,920
he's delivering the head to
Medusa and he's singing right?

650
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,280
And he's we hear the line of
like, hey guys, look at this.

651
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:28,560
And in this scene when Annabeth
mentions Luke, it kind of snaps

652
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,480
him out of him being like whippy
fun whatever to like listen to

653
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,360
them and he takes them somewhere
private, which I love that scene

654
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,160
of showing like his abilities,
what an ability to have.

655
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Just.
Snap a finger.

656
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,520
And he can take other people
with him.

657
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,200
He's a God.
He's a God.

658
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,040
He's a God.
That's what we have to keep

659
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,400
remembering.
It's not a child demigod, it's a

660
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,840
God with these full blown
powers.

661
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,560
You know, it's something I've
been thinking about as far as

662
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,360
the Percy Jackson universe is
concerned.

663
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,600
Is that like when you think of,
like, gods, right?

664
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,640
It's almost like that store or
Loki effect where they're like

665
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,720
in capes and have lightning
shooting from them and can split

666
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,320
into a million versions of
themselves.

667
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,840
But these these godly forms are
so based in human forms.

668
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,720
But then those things with their
magic powers happen and you're

669
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,360
like, Oh yes, right, they are
gods.

670
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,120
They're Westernized.
It's it's it's like it's a very

671
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,800
cool thing.
It it's it's seeing the human

672
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,080
body in front of you, but then
being reminded that they have

673
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,200
the powers.
I love it.

674
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,320
I still do wish he would have
gotten those fire and Aries at

675
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,440
size, but that's it.
That's what I'm saying.

676
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,040
I am excited to see Hades
though.

677
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,680
I'm really because he's going to
be in his own domain, right?

678
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,400
He's not going to be in the
mortal world or anything,

679
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,480
blending in or having missed
around him or anything.

680
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,640
So like, I'm going to be very
interested to see like how he is

681
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160
in like his place where he can
fully be himself.

682
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:56,200
So the actor that they got to
play Hades reminds me very much

683
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,640
of like I when I picture him as
Hades, it gives me very much

684
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,320
dream from Neil, you know Neil
Gaiman's right universe.

685
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Yeah, that kind of thin.
And I don't know there's

686
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,560
something about.
Him.

687
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:10,159
Morpheus.
Yeah, Morpheus.

688
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:11,960
Yeah.
So that's kind of what I'm

689
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,600
picturing my head.
I could be totally wrong.

690
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,440
He could just be wearing like
pajamas.

691
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,800
Although I will say Lucifer in
Sandman.

692
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,360
Amazing.
Just saying, looking for that

693
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,920
series, but dear God.
Is that coming back or did it?

694
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,719
Yes, it's coming back.
He did get a second seat.

695
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,320
It's going.
To be taking forever, but

696
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:31,719
whatever, I'm here waiting.
I'm not complaining.

697
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,960
Patient patience.
So Hermes, they go to Hermes and

698
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,120
ask them for help, right?
Because they're running out of

699
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,040
time to get to Santa Monica, to
get to the underworld, to get

700
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,199
the master world and to give it
back.

701
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,679
Because they have to do it
before the summer solstice and

702
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,840
he can easily transport them.
That's how he outside his space

703
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,760
and time.
That's why he delivers the mail.

704
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,080
He won't help them.
No.

705
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,400
He just says no.
He's like there is a secret way

706
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,640
into the underworld.
Do you know what happens every

707
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,280
time I've let somebody or help
somebody to do that, know what

708
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000
happens every time.
I think we can assume it does

709
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,920
not end well because if he's
saying he's not going to help

710
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,000
them, which is nice for them,
they're like, look, every time I

711
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,640
do this, they all die or it
doesn't work out.

712
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,040
Or go cuckoo bananas.
Right.

713
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,880
I'm not going to do this to you,
which is fair.

714
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,680
But in between that stuff, we
get this, you know, kind of

715
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,800
omission from Hermes himself
talking about, like, what it

716
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,120
means to be a parent and what it
means to be a godly parent.

717
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,640
And it's like he talks about how
Poseidon was the one that told

718
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,320
him to stay away from Luke.
He didn't.

719
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,920
And look what happened.
Sometimes seeing you struggle

720
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,520
and being powerless to do
anything is parenting.

721
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,760
I really like that line.
It's like, yeah, that sucks.

722
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,200
Yeah, I don't know.
I I want to be a parent, but I

723
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,880
don't want to be a parent.
Yeah, it's scary.

724
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,400
Seems complicated.
So kudos to all you parents,

725
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,120
Yes.
Thanks.

726
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,800
Powers are none, yeah.
We also get this interesting

727
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,360
moment where and and it's
interesting that this whole

728
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,360
conversation about being a
parent and and and Luke, it

729
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,600
seems to bring up a defensive
side of Hermes.

730
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,480
And so he takes it upon himself
to sort of remind Percy of what

731
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,520
it's like to be with someone
that you love but you can't

732
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,920
help, and you almost almost keep
hurting them.

733
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,240
Yeah, he says something like to
be so close, knowing neither of

734
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:31,920
you have any choice but to keep
hurting each other.

735
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,880
And we see this a scene with
Percy in the car and looks like

736
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,240
either the hazards was on, I
couldn't really tell or the

737
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,320
blinker was on, but we don't see
who's in the car with him.

738
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:44,680
It's just in the car by himself
and it's baby.

739
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:45,840
Percy.
I was going to say it was Baby

740
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,480
Percy.
Yeah, it it obviously made me

741
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,960
think of Sally, right?
And it almost seemed like to me,

742
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,760
the scene that was set was here
he was again, being expelled

743
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,080
from another school, and she had
to be put through all that for

744
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,240
him.
And there's nothing that he

745
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:01,440
could do about it.
Right.

746
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,160
And they but they, they have to
like keep being with each other,

747
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,720
even though she's lying to him
in that instance and it's

748
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,720
hurting him and he's just being
himself and it's hurting her.

749
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:16,360
And now, even in the future,
it's hurt her even more because

750
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,240
she's being held captive.
By 80s, she's dead.

751
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,600
I'm just kidding.
Snap dead.

752
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,720
Maybe she is in this version.
We don't know.

753
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:29,080
We don't know.
But when he reached for Annabeth

754
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,640
to remind her, she's like I
remember perfectly well, do not

755
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,120
touch me.
I really love that.

756
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640
I feel like Annabeth has learned
from Percy that you can stand up

757
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,040
to a God, because I feel like
she's gotten like a little more

758
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,320
in their faces, and I appreciate
that.

759
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,000
Oh yeah, yeah.
Wise girl.

760
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,800
Got it.
And she'll put you in your

761
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,680
place.
Heck yeah.

762
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
I love it.
So he doesn't help.

763
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,400
Annabeth goes away.
And I love that.

764
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Once you know that she put the
invisibility cap on to steal his

765
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,240
keys, you can see as she's
getting up to leave, taking the

766
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:05,360
cap out of her pocket.
So good.

767
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,520
And it was really funny because
I I noticed that the first time

768
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,720
we were watching it, before I
knew actually what was going on.

769
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,160
And I was like, oh, what an
interesting choice that she took

770
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,120
that out.
I was like, I wonder why Leah

771
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,240
did that.
And it was very purposeful

772
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,840
actually.
Very purposeful, but we find out

773
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,760
that time goes quite a bit
faster.

774
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,600
The scene with Percy meeting up
with Annabeth at the door,

775
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,960
seeing that it's not daytime
anymore, it's night.

776
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,520
Obviously time has passed.
Even though they've been there

777
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,400
for 20 minutes, time has passed
quite literally.

778
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,000
It's a bad place, yeah.
And I love when she shows them

779
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,440
the keys.
She's like you, pickpocketed.

780
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,320
And she's like, I'm multi
talented.

781
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,160
Get it.
Own it.

782
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,160
Hello.
Yes, you are.

783
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,040
It's me.
Yes you are.

784
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,080
Did you forget this?
The concepts of time going

785
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,000
faster than it seems.
I love those things and stories

786
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,280
because it it gives a urgency to
it and it gives kind of, I don't

787
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,360
want to say horror, but like
helplessness.

788
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,520
Almost like you can't stop it.
You it's already happened,

789
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,880
right?
You can't go back to where it

790
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,840
was.
You literally just lost all that

791
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,920
time.
And not to get too meta about

792
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,080
it, but it's very much like an
allegory for.

793
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,120
I don't know casinos.
Yeah, but also like technology

794
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,280
and phones and like how you
could like sit down with your

795
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,720
phone and just be on your phone
and not even realize that like

796
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,640
an hour has passed.
Oh, yeah.

797
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,040
There's some weekends where I
get really upset because it's

798
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,040
just like, I don't want to do
anything.

799
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,800
I'm just like, on my phone and
it's like, 9:00 AM and I look

800
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,280
up, it's like, oh, it's
lunchtime.

801
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,840
Yeah, OK.
Half the day is gone, You know

802
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,240
it does.
Happen.

803
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:54,680
Yeah.
It's like it's like you are,

804
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,840
you're hypnotized, you this is
the Lotus and you're just like

805
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,840
scrolling and it's like,
although you're going through

806
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,880
different things, you're just so
stationary.

807
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:08,320
It's very bizarre.
They say, I believe, Percy says,

808
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,960
because when Annabeth left, they
have a conversation.

809
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,560
Hermes and Percy.
He finds out some more

810
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,520
information and he tells
Annabeth about it.

811
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,840
That it's like now Thursday, I
believe, he said.

812
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,840
And the solstice is like Friday,
like it's coming up really

813
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,440
close.
But they don't have Grover.

814
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,280
They have to go get Grover.
They remember who Grover is

815
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,600
because they see Augustus coming
down the escalator.

816
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,160
They're like Grover, right?
Horns.

817
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,240
Goat legs.
That's familiar.

818
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:38,800
So they go find Grover, He's on
the VR looking for Pan, whatever

819
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,880
he's doing.
And I again love his delivery.

820
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,040
I love Aryan's delivery of
everything.

821
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,480
And he's like, we're your best
friends, He's like, really you

822
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,160
are.
And he's like a quest.

823
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,240
Is it dangerous?
It's not a deal breaker.

824
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:58,440
I just want to know it's.
So good he is so all in, even

825
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,080
though he has no idea who these
people are.

826
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,080
So good it would not be complete
the show with kids without

827
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,520
having them drive, putting them
in very adult easy situations

828
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,320
and just seeing the mayhem,
right?

829
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,520
Parking garages are twisty,
turny nightmares.

830
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,320
Yeah, I can't imagine my first
driving experience being in one

831
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:21,760
of.
Them.

832
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,080
No, it's allowed.
There's things everywhere you

833
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,960
don't know where to go.
No, as an adult, I still don't

834
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,040
know which is up for more
parking and which is down for

835
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,320
exits, like there's sometimes.
Sometimes it's the opposite way

836
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,960
and sometimes it's like I'm the
only one going down like on a

837
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,280
spirally thing and I'm like,
somebody's going to hit me.

838
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,880
Sometimes it says exit this way,
but it's a wall.

839
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,240
It's like what's happening?
How does this work?

840
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,400
So they get into the cab, which
is amazing because Hermes Ride

841
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,360
is a cab.
He's a God of travellers, so of

842
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,880
course it would be a a taxi.
He, he has a monopoly on taxis,

843
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,920
Navy casinos.
I don't know if that's them.

844
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,520
Gold watches.
And delivery service makes

845
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,040
perfect sense.
He's doing quite well.

846
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,200
And he finally gets the car
straight and he's going up the

847
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,960
ramp and his friends are like,
Oh my God, you're doing it.

848
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,360
And he looks at Annabeth because
it looks like Annabeth is so

849
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,240
proud of him and he gets
distracted because wise girl is

850
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:28,440
like, you're doing great seaweed
brain and just sideswipes the

851
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,560
whole thing up.
Amazing.

852
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,960
So funny.
There goes your rearview mirror.

853
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,000
I couldn't stop.
Outside.

854
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,080
Oh my gosh, yeah, it was.
It was really fantastic.

855
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,480
And then the jump scare of them
almost getting creamed by a

856
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,480
truck.
And then being on the beach

857
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,680
immediately.
Magical Hermes.

858
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,440
Thank God they hit the road.
Thank God, yeah, And now Grover

859
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,280
finally remembers.
I mean, they get out of the car

860
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,600
and Grover's like, you guys are
my best friends.

861
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,320
It's a cover.
By the way, I really love them

862
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,640
being best friends now.
Yeah, it's so cute.

863
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,760
They are best friends.
They're besties.

864
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,680
Yeah, and this is only the first
story when you've been through.

865
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:09,800
Yeah, when you've been through
like three or four or five, you

866
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,480
know, almost life ending
experiences together, you can't

867
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,400
help but be best friends.
I there is a scene.

868
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,840
Oh, I forgot to mention the
scene.

869
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,440
Percy again being kind of
selfless and like making sure

870
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,640
his friends come first.
When he goes to Annabeth at the

871
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,000
beginning of the casino and he
says it's Thursday, then they

872
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,360
waste time going to find Grover
to get him, then to leave.

873
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,640
It's past the time.
And when Grover's like, oh, is

874
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,400
this because of me?
And he says he doesn't say yes.

875
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,280
He just says you're my best
friend.

876
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,840
We're all going on this class.
We're going to do this.

877
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,960
It's OK.
He, like, sidesteps the question

878
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,480
again, even though he knows.
Yeah, it's like, because we

879
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,600
spent that extra time looking
for you, we're late.

880
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,920
And then when he goes into the
water to go meet his dad for the

881
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,480
first time is much more late
than he thought.

882
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,640
The summer solstice already
happened that evening.

883
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,200
The sea spirit.
Y'all they are switching things

884
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,520
up on us.
Bananas.

885
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,600
She came out of that seaweed.
She's like, hey babe, he left.

886
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,160
Bye.
He waited as long as he could,

887
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,200
but like, you're late.
You're.

888
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:29,120
So late And you know, thinking
back to it, right, Aries sent

889
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,320
them there to find Hermes.
He sent them directly to the

890
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,880
hotel that he probably knew
would suck the time up.

891
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,200
Yeah, you know, also Hermes kind
of new too.

892
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:40,640
He wasted all that time with
him.

893
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,240
He exists out of time and space.
Like he couldn't help them at

894
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,040
all.
And all he does with Percy is

895
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,520
just tap his watch.
He's like, you know, it wouldn't

896
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,360
matter anyway.
What do you mean by that?

897
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,280
Well, tap my March.
Again, these gods are just the

898
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,920
worst.
They're jerks.

899
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,720
They're the worst.
They're so awful.

900
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:02,280
Thanks for nothing.
They're so awful, but I do

901
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,360
really like the sea spirit
comforting him in a way.

902
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,840
And she tells him you have to go
back to camp like it's done.

903
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,360
You're released from your quest.
And Percy being Percy, and this

904
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,600
is a complete change from the
book because they make it at the

905
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,880
last second in the book to
deliver whatever they need to

906
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,800
deliver, and this they're
already past the time.

907
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:30,960
So I like the change of Percy
deciding to continue.

908
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,200
It's it's a nice change, 'cause
I feel like it just kind of

909
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,520
grows his character and it shows
his maturity a little bit and

910
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,960
also his, like, unyieldingness.
And he's like, I don't care,

911
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,720
Like I'm going to see this
through.

912
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,720
And she points it out, Yeah,
she's like you're you're a lot

913
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:45,680
like your dad.
He said.

914
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,400
Cool story, bro.
Yeah, not going to happen.

915
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,600
But then another massive change
from the book is he gets 4

916
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,400
pearls.
Instead of three.

917
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,360
What belongs to the sea will
always find its way back.

918
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,640
Interesting the pearls and I
love the last line, she says.

919
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,280
Save the world, then go save
your mother.

920
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,360
So the pearls, or going to help
them, If you've known about the

921
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,400
pearls in the underworld and
everything, it's going to help

922
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,520
them get out of the underworld
when they go in.

923
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:17,920
In the book, they only had
three, three pearls.

924
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,120
So we have a bonus Pearl here.
We have a bonus Pearl, probably

925
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,600
for his mother.
I'm going to save critique,

926
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,600
judgement, whatever stuff that
I'm feeling until we get to

927
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,880
that.
I don't want to like, prejudge

928
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,840
it right, because like, I liked
in the book that like, there was

929
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,840
a decision that had to be made.
There was four people, 3 pearls,

930
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,880
and this one they gave them four
pearls.

931
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,880
So I'm going to wait to see what
happens to like fully judge

932
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,160
that.
It's interesting.

933
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,200
I'm trust them because I've
liked all the changes so far.

934
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,200
It's all happening for a reason
and we'll see.

935
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:56,280
Yes, One thing that I have been
wanting to talk about for six

936
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,600
episodes that I have, I keep
forgetting to talk about.

937
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,080
Wow, massive.
Yes, and this is probably going

938
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,960
to be so trivial and not mean
anything, but I have noticed it

939
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,160
every single episode.
Like this podcast?

940
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:16,400
Is Percy's necklace.
So Percy has been wearing a

941
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,040
necklace the entire time.
Isn't it Annabeth's?

942
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,800
No.
He had it.

943
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,040
Before he met her, he had it
before going to Camp Half Blood.

944
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:32,000
It's a simple like rope or maybe
dried seaweed or something.

945
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,320
And I really remembered to write
it down this time because as

946
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,560
he's talking to the sea spirit,
it's floating around his neck

947
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,160
and I feel like, why would Percy
be wearing this necklace every

948
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,800
single episode?
I'm wondering, is it a gift from

949
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,040
Poseidon?
From when he was a baby, they

950
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,360
didn't mention it at all.
No, it's never been mentioned.

951
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,440
Maybe it was a gift and it's
like.

952
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,040
But like, I feel like we're
going to learn about it.

953
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,400
Maybe when he meets his dad and
he says that necklace that

954
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,120
you're wearing, it's something
that I've used to keep watch

955
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:02,600
over you or?
He gave it to them.

956
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,480
His mom and his mom gave it to
him, right?

957
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,440
So it's just so interesting
because it I thought I was like,

958
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,480
oh, he got his necklace from
Camp Half Blood already, but

959
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,760
it's not.
It was even before he got there.

960
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,080
So it's just this tiny little
detail that I've noticed every

961
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,440
episode and I I just hope that
they're going to explain it

962
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,800
because it's just so apparent.
It's just part of his costume.

963
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,360
They're like, we're not going to
explain it.

964
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,040
You're going to have to wait
until Season 5.

965
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,880
I feel like they make decisions
like that for a reason.

966
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,400
Yeah.
So I just, I just officially

967
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,520
wanted to mention it because I
don't know if anybody else has

968
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,680
noticed it at all.
Because it's not a camp half

969
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,320
blood Netflix.
It's something else.

970
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,800
Interesting.
I have not noticed.

971
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,560
And I have noticed, but I hadn't
like noticed.

972
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,560
You know what I mean?
Interesting.

973
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,920
And he's worn it the whole time.
The whole time.

974
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,360
OK, yeah, keep an eye out.
Or there's just Keep.

975
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,120
An eye out or just waiting for
the story.

976
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,280
I feel like it.
I feel like it means something.

977
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,200
I could be wrong.
They make choices for a reason.

978
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,640
I just said that, yeah.
So Green Episode I I I feel like

979
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:11,360
a lot happened, but it was very
like getting from point A to

980
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,000
point B.
It wasn't a filler episode.

981
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:18,160
Obviously stuff happened, but
I'm very, very excited for the

982
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,880
next episode.
Yes, it's your favorite.

983
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,280
It's coming up.
We get Krusty's, we get the

984
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,880
Underworld, which looked insane.
I can't wait to really be there.

985
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,840
Better than what I thought.
In my imagination, reading the

986
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,360
books, it looks so cool with
that thing that when like

987
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,040
Annabeth, it shows Annabeth and
it like kind of pans up and

988
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,680
there's a thing wrapped in the
cloth.

989
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,360
I was like, what is that?
We get our three headed dog

990
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,680
friend.
Cerberus Yeah, I'm so excited.

991
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,680
Also for Krusty's, I'd yes.
For Krusty's.

992
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,720
Yay.
Waterbed emporium.

993
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,480
We know what's happening in the
next episode.

994
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,680
I can't wait to see what he
looks like, Krusty.

995
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,920
Did it show?
I think I've seen it.

996
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,360
I think I've seen it online.
Or maybe it was wrong, I don't

997
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,760
know.
But I mean, if he doesn't look

998
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,120
like a Raptor in like a like a
robe or something like that,

999
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,920
what's the point?
Cancel the scene, Yeah.

1000
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,200
So very excited.
We have the penultimate we don't

1001
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,360
know what we're doing after
this.

1002
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,240
It's going to be kind of sad
when we're done with Percy

1003
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:19,920
Jackson.
No.

1004
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,640
We've been living in this world
for what, 2-3 months?

1005
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,280
Then you have two all in this
together.

1006
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,160
Watching Percy and Annabeth and
Grover do great things.

1007
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,600
So if you have any idea,
sometimes I don't know how long

1008
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,320
it's going to go.
It can keep going.

1009
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,160
So if you have an idea of what
you want us to do next, or

1010
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,480
something that has happened
while we were doing this, let us

1011
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,000
know.
Yeah, but down below.

1012
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:51,120
Comment below.
OK, so till next week where we

1013
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,640
go to the underworld, but not
before we shop for waterbeds.

1014
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,040
We're going to be in LA, baby.
I love it.

1015
00:50:57,240 --> 00:50:58,760
All right.
Bye, bye, bye.
