00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,400
listening to A Bite of.
Where we take our current

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,039
favorite pop culture obsession
and enjoy it 1 Nibble at a time.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,720
One nibble, final nibble of the
Lightning Thief.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,160
Here it is.
We've read the entire book.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,040
We've read an entire middle
grade book as 30 year olds, yes.

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,520
And when I first read it, I
wasn't even in middle grade

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,160
either.
And let me tell you, I forgot a

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,360
lot.
These final chapters, after we

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,760
were both done, I was like,
Derek, do you remember Krusty?

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,440
He's like no.
No, OK.

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,280
I was reading it and I was like,
wait a minute, tell me more.

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,600
What happens in the next
chapter?

14
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:46,440
It is so stacked.
Speaking of stacked, so we have

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,920
a lot of fun coverage and
special things coming up.

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,760
I think this is going to be our
most stacked talking about

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,720
episodes, stuff that we've done
on the podcast because we were

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,600
fortunate enough to get access
to a lot of cool stuff for the

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600
show.
So we got screeners for the

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,480
first four episodes.
That's cool.

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,360
We're not going to spoil
anything.

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Don't worry.
We got access to doing

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,800
interviews, talking with the
cast and crew creators Rick and

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,040
Becky Ray Ordon.
That's so cool.

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,640
Is amazing.
So we have a lot to piece

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,880
through.
We have articles coming out next

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680
episode, which is tomorrow on
Thursday, because that's when

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,920
the embargo lifts.
We are going to be doing episode

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,040
talking about a lot of those
interviews that we were able to

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,760
attend.
We're going to have sound bites

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,200
and everything, so it's going to
be really fun.

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,120
It's just going to be talking
about the excitement and all the

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,880
cool things that they told us.
Yes, and we are also going to do

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,920
a spoiler free review.
We can call it a review of the

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,880
first two episodes.
Yes, of the first two episodes.

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
So don't worry, we will not
spoil anything but the first two

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,040
episodes.
Except we'll tell you all the

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,720
giant changes that were made.
So how you get all those

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,240
episodes?
Make sure you're subscribing.

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160
You want to subscribe.
That way you get the episodes

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400
1st and you have to wait for the
app or even search for it.

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000
It just comes on your phone just
right there.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,680
What's up?
Good morning.

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
We are also still on our way to
200 reviews, so there's some.

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,560
Stars our way for the holidays.
Yeah, come on.

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Put a star on top of our review.
Tree.

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,600
Oh my God, that's gorgeous.
Wow, look at the tree.

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Oh.
OK, we have a lot to talk about

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,600
with everything.
Yes, and so just giant spoiler

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,160
alert for the last 6 chapters of
this book.

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,720
I mean literally spoiling
everything.

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,240
So if you haven't read it and
you don't want to know, go read

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,680
it and then listen to the
episode.

54
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't wait for us to get to this

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,560
in the show.
Read the book.

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,520
It's fun.
It takes like no time at all.

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,000
I really.
Love this book.

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,880
I mean, I loved it when I first
read it, but I really enjoyed it

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,400
again.
You're giving away the juicy

60
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,120
content.
I'm sorry.

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,720
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
I'm also like, when am I going
to read the next one now?

63
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,520
OK, we're we're done recording.
All right, So let us officially

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
take a bite of Percy Jackson and
the Olympians.

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
The Lightning Thief, Chapter 17
to the.

66
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,800
End 22, Six chapters to the end.
So as we promised two episodes

67
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,000
ago, we took the BuzzFeed quiz.
We put it on the bottom of the

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,080
last episode so that way you
guys could take it.

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,440
And some of you had shared where
you were in like Cabin 5 and

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,480
Aries and all that.
So it was really cool.

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,360
So we took it on our Patreon.
We will have us like live taking

72
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,480
it that way.
You can hear the questions and

73
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,560
kind of what we did with it, but
we'll just tell you our results

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680
now.
OK, Do you want to go first?

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360
I'll go first.
So I took this very seriously.

76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,280
I want to guess who you're in.
OK.

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,000
You're not going to, am I not,
you're not Athena.

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,000
No.
OK, go ahead.

79
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Imagine.
I'm 6 steps ahead.

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,280
I'm.
In Cabin 4 as a child of

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Demeter, that's easy going, but
strong when you need to be.

82
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Oh.
Right.

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,120
That's not.
Yeah, Yeah.

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,680
When when you put it that way.
Yeah, and she's the goddess of

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,080
the harvest, so she fucking
loves wheat.

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360
And I'm like, yeah, I love Brad.
Which can't have it.

87
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Can't have it carb free, no.
But I I was like, OK, that makes

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,320
sense.
I really, I really thought about

89
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
the questions I wasn't at.
I wasn't like answering them

90
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040
flippantly, so.
OK, so I did too.

91
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Should I?
Should I guess yours?

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,120
Yes.
Now, should I do the obvious one

93
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,440
that I would think you are?
You do this every time you're

94
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
like, do I?
Should I do the one where I know

95
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,160
it is or the one that I like it
should be?

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,960
So I want to say Hades.
He doesn't have a cabin, OK?

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,160
Roasted, that's true.
But you could still be his

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,840
child, right?
That's all.

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,360
Just like, you know what?
Not all monsters are bad, OK?

100
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,920
Just putting that.
That's beautiful.

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800
So, Zeus.
No, but it is a big three.

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,480
So there only leaves one more.
I'm Poseidon.

103
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,440
You are Percy's brother.
I'm Percy's brother, which, you

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,600
know, it's fine, it says As a
child of Poseidon, you can move

105
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,480
like the sea, but you never
forget the constant friends in

106
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,120
your life.
Plus, you have pretty much the

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,680
coolest half brother ever.
That's cool.

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Awesome Earth Shaker.
I love it.

109
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,560
Move like the sea.
All right, so.

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,440
She loves doing body rolls.
So we will again put the link to

111
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,920
this.
It's on BuzzFeed so you can

112
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,040
search for it, but take the quiz
and then let us know.

113
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,600
Go on our Discord or, you know,
social media, all that stuff.

114
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,440
We'd love to know.
I want to know who our fellow

115
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,960
campers are and where they will
be hanging out for the summer.

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,640
Don't leave me with Percy like
he's fine, but also like, I

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,120
don't know if I'd get along with
him.

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,360
What I don't?
Know I feel like I get more

119
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400
along with Annabeth than I would
with Percy.

120
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,040
But that's good though, yeah?
Because you know it's nice when

121
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,920
you can separate from your
friends for a little bit instead

122
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680
of being related to them.
That's true, all right, So

123
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,720
should we officially, officially
take a bite of?

124
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,360
Officially fish.
Fish A fish a fish.

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Officially because it get it
ocean.

126
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000
And OK, we're Chapter 17.
We more water.

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,680
We shop for waterbeds.
He is the the son of a water.

128
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,720
God, he smokes.
There's so much water in this

129
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080
book.
A cab ride to LA leads Percy

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,920
leads to Percy plunging into the
Pacific.

131
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,680
The gang stretches out on a
baddie's bed.

132
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Very nice.
This chapter completely erased

133
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,840
from my memory.
Oh yeah, I feel like just like

134
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:32,280
Percy in the Lotus Hotel.
Like I just out of my memory.

135
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,680
What's so funny to me is that I
remembered the Lotus Hotel, but

136
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560
I thought it was at least 12
chapters long.

137
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Yeah, I was like, this is huge.
This is such a big thing.

138
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,080
It's half of one chapter.
Yeah, I I feel like reading

139
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,960
these earlier, you know, my
brain is more developed, I

140
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,800
think, than it was when I first
read them.

141
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,360
So it's like it did seem like a
lot of that stuff was drawn out.

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,560
And I don't know if it's because
of the movies, but like all this

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,440
stuff just happens in each
chapter.

144
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,480
It's very episodic and you know.
Rick Rick packs a punch in every

145
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Percy chapter.
He really does.

146
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,480
So they get a taxi ride from Los
Angeles all the way to Santa

147
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Monica Beach.
So they're actually going from

148
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Las Vegas to LA.
In this park, did I say Los

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,120
Angeles?
To Santa Monica, Yeah, you

150
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,200
jumped like 3.
I did.

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,840
But they just give them the
Lotus credit card and they're

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,680
able to take, which is very
lucky because like, it's far no

153
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,640
amount of money.
That was a question that I was

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240
thinking.
I was like, do the cabs in Las

155
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,560
Vegas take cards from hotels?
Probably.

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,320
I would think so.
Cool.

157
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,880
I don't know.
This is also 2005.

158
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,320
I don't think we have.
Times have changed everything on

159
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,040
our phones.
Yeah, that's true.

160
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,680
I've only been to Las Vegas once
and I don't.

161
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Yeah, it's hot.
So in this car ride, because

162
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,880
they have a long car ride ahead,
but they also still have one day

163
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,520
left, so they're burning a lot
of a lot of daylight.

164
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,040
During this he Percy finally
tells them about his dream that

165
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,440
he had when he was in the truck
and Annabeth and Grover, they

166
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,960
can't really make sense of why
the cold voice in the dream is

167
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,400
wanting two objects.
So it's like if Hades, if that

168
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,040
was Hades or whatever that was,
why would they need the Master

169
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,560
bowl and also the helm and all
this stuff.

170
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,240
So like it just it's seeming
like it's not really making

171
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,320
sense to them and leave it to
Annabeth to really like analyze

172
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,400
that.
But I love in these chapters and

173
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,080
because it's written for this
age group that like, it's like,

174
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,559
oh, this isn't making sense, but
we have all this other stuff

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880
that we're going to do and then
like, we'll go back to this.

176
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,000
So they, like, mention these
things, but they kind of drop

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,280
it.
They're like, oh God, to my

178
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,320
destination, we're good.
Yeah, I think because for them,

179
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,000
they are really so set on the
next step is doing this and in

180
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080
their minds it's Hades.
They have to get to Hades.

181
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,160
So they're not really taking
those puzzle pieces and putting

182
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,280
them together yet.
They're just collecting them and

183
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,520
going well.
We have this.

184
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,560
I guess we'll wait.
What could do this mean?

185
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,240
I don't know.
Just put it down for now.

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,400
So the question is if the the
master bolt is not in 80s, if

187
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,680
it's not in the underworld,
where is it?

188
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,240
So that was a big question.
And also who is the voice in the

189
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,960
pit?
So they finally get to Santa

190
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Monica Beach and I love this
part of the chapter because like

191
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:32,000
to my best knowledge, Rick is
from Texas, but he loves New

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
York.
NY is like dirty but also like

193
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680
great.
And then when he's describing

194
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:41,720
Santa Monica and you know, Los
Angeles and California, it's

195
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
like dirty but also really
disgusting.

196
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Like he does not like it.
No, no.

197
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,480
And and when, I mean, when they
get to the LA part, you know,

198
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760
when they when they're done with
the beach section, there's like

199
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960
rich bad boys.
It's hilarious.

200
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,400
Yancey Academy followed him all
the way over.

201
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440
There.
It's all Nancy's, Nancy Baba,

202
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200
Fitz brothers or something.
It's hilarious.

203
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
There's also a bunch of like
people without homes sleeping in

204
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,200
the sand dunes, but also like
surfers waiting for the next

205
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,280
wave.
It's like a very interesting,

206
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,200
it's like media because of this
kind of media.

207
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240
I think that's what has always
made me think of those two

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,440
cities, because I feel like a
lot of media does paint these

209
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,120
parts of California as, like,
nasty.

210
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,280
Like, it's like cool, but it's
really nasty.

211
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,960
And New York is like smells like
pee, but like organized.

212
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,440
That is true.
It does smell like pee.

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,200
Every organized pee here.
Every corner.

214
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Yeah, every single corner.
Even Olympus has to smell like

215
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,880
pee.
It all goes up, the scents all

216
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680
go up.
So the this part of the chapter,

217
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:50,800
really the only part that's
important is Percy decides to

218
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,040
walk into the ocean and he also
he meets that spirit that he met

219
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,160
in the Mississippi River and
she's pretty much like, you

220
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,160
know, I'm an I'm, I'm a sea
spirit and I work for your dad.

221
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200
I'm the frenzy of fathers.
I can't.

222
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,280
He can't show favoritism.
But he can work, wink, wink in

223
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,600
indirect ways.
And she gives him a gift of

224
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,680
these three pearls, which
watching the movie we watched

225
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:21,760
you recently, I cannot believe
that they made that like the

226
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800
whole point of the movie to
like, get them across the

227
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,160
country is like, you have to
find these pearls.

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,000
What?
No, like, that's like, I can't

229
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,520
believe the stuff that in the
movie they decided to, like,

230
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,080
make a big thing when it was
like the sea spirit just gave

231
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,440
him the pearls.
That's it.

232
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,640
I fell asleep for more of that
movie than I thought I did

233
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,200
because I didn't even know the
pearls were a part.

234
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,760
That was the whole point.
Yep, that's hilarious.

235
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,320
Whole point.
She also does leave him with

236
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,720
some advice, saying, you know,
don't trust some things, but

237
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,040
like, she disappears every time.
Like he's like, oh but who or

238
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,960
what?
And she's like bye.

239
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Yeah, again, I, I, I always ask
this question of like why can't

240
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,400
we just tell the person what's
going on?

241
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,440
And I I guess it really is just
part of the hero's journey of We

242
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,320
can give you clues.
We can give you a wink, wink,

243
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,280
nudge, nudge, but we will never
outright tell you what's

244
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,400
happening.
She's the purpose of it.

245
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Like, I don't understand why
this creature is like a sea

246
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,640
spirit, but like fades.
Like, can you not?

247
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,200
Like, can you only be like, in a
form for so long?

248
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Like, I need these details
because you're just a jerk.

249
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Maybe she just wanted to like,
she's like, I gotta go.

250
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920
She's just like, watch this.
I do.

251
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,840
I do.
Like, on a serious note, sorry,

252
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,120
I didn't mean to like Sideway
because I know we're leaving

253
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,800
this, but like, I I do like how
she, like, treats him because,

254
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,600
you know, she is, she works for
his father, which would kind of

255
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,080
make him like a Prince in a way.
So it's like, she shows this

256
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280
kind of respect to him.
And it's a really cool thing to

257
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,280
see just within the hierarchy of
like, he's still just like a

258
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,600
dumb kid.
But like, she's like, oh, here

259
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,360
you go, Like, I'm going to help.
It's fine.

260
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320
But like not totally help.
One of the things I liked about

261
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,080
reading this was really seeing
Percy's journey as a person who

262
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,400
knew nothing about anything to
becoming this demigod and

263
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720
Godling.
And I feel like that is seen in

264
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,960
how these people are treating
him right, because he's really

265
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920
seen as such a novice in the
beginning and such a fool, and

266
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,520
now towards the end of our
journey here, he's getting

267
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,040
respect.
Yeah, he he has some moments,

268
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,480
especially in this next part
where it's like, oh, OK, you're

269
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
you're starting to take charge a
little bit, he definitely.

270
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Matures.
It's like a character

271
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,400
development thing, but it's a
very quick I think because he's

272
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
getting closer to the end and
goal, so he's like, I gotta like

273
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120
back up.
Things are getting serious,

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,560
everyone.
So on their way to find DOA

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,400
records which I think is layer
is dead on arrival.

276
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,440
Dead on arrival.
Which is the entrance to the

277
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,240
underworld he does see on TV.
Smelly, Gabe crying and being

278
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,240
interviewed by Barbara.
Warbra Walters, the man is on

279
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,960
the media warpath.
He is doing everything he

280
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,760
possibly can.
He's the worst.

281
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,320
Yeah, he is.
He's smell like Gabe.

282
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,280
He's the worst.
I also don't remember in the

283
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,560
very last chapter of like a
revelation.

284
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:21,160
We did touch on it earlier in
the episodes, but like, I really

285
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160
hate him and he deserves
everything that he gets.

286
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600
Yeah, just putting that.
And it gets even worse, yeah.

287
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,200
I don't.
I don't like it.

288
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,120
So they run into these
switchblade carrying rich white

289
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,600
kids.
Yeah, it says.

290
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640
A gang of kids had circled us,
Six of them in all.

291
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040
White kids with expensive
clothes and mean faces, like the

292
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,320
kids at Yancey Academy.
Rich brats playing at being bad

293
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,280
boys.
What?

294
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,480
But they have switchblades.
I don't think they're really

295
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,160
playing.
I know.

296
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,160
It's like such a weird mix of
character archetypes.

297
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,440
It's like rich kids in polo
shirts in loafers with

298
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,760
switchblades.
Yeah.

299
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,080
Is that a thing?
Who's The Jets and who's?

300
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,440
The Sharks, you're.
I guess you're.

301
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess it
does feel sort of like that.

302
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,600
It's just hilarious that these,
you know, these rich kids, they

303
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,480
just spend their time going
downtown.

304
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,640
And I mean.
Trying to kill 12 year olds.

305
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Which is insane.
But like I I want to say the

306
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,560
only reason for this part is to
show that like these demigods

307
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,480
not only have to worry about
mortals with switchblades, but

308
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,760
also monsters and everything
else.

309
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,880
And also we find out that their
godly weapons don't work on

310
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600
mortals.
Yes, which OK.

311
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,800
It feels very unfair.
It's fine I.

312
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,960
Guess it just feels like so the
demigods can get attacked by

313
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,600
anything and yet can't defend
themselves.

314
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,240
Well, they have powers, so like,
hopefully there's water around,

315
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000
right?
Also, good thing it wasn't a

316
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,040
gun.
Just saying.

317
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,320
He has.
What would he have done?

318
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Yeah, he he needs to do like a
katara from a katara and always

319
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
have a little jug of water with
him.

320
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
But does he do that later on?
I feel like that might be a

321
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,840
thing.
Is it?

322
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Yeah, I think so.
I told you I forget everything.

323
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,040
I do too.
OK.

324
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,760
Maybe I'm just we'll find out,
Katara.

325
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,600
So anyway, they run from them
and they get to Krusty's,

326
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,360
Krusty's Waterbed Palace, which
I mean it's the only place open.

327
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,440
I yes, places don't stay open
late in Santa Monica Beach, just

328
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,120
waterbed.
Just yes, waterbed emporiums.

329
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,600
Also, does the Sign of the
times?

330
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,280
In the early 2000s, waterbeds
were like a thing.

331
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,680
I never had a waterbed.
My parents did.

332
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Hated it.
You said you had to empty it,

333
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,640
right?
Yeah, you had to empty it and

334
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,760
it's like they were on the top
floor.

335
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,040
So, like, they would have to put
the hose outside the window and

336
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,000
the water would just come out
and then they'd have to fill it

337
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,280
back up.
It's just like pointless.

338
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,280
Like, I don't.
I remember being on it and

339
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
feeling sick.
But also like what is the point

340
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,680
of this?
It was just, I felt like a lot

341
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,480
of it was novelty I.
Guess so it's.

342
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,760
A waterbed.
These waterbeds are not your not

343
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,240
your mom's waterbeds, OK?
Because they have headboards

344
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,760
with built in lava lamps.
There's a tiki version.

345
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,520
I mean, there's everything you
can dream of.

346
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,800
Safari version.
Safari.

347
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,400
Yeah, I mean, I Mr. Krusty
himself, I don't trust, but his

348
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,040
products, they're fine products.
I do like how he describes him

349
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,440
as a guy who looked like a
Raptor in a leisure suit.

350
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,520
OK?
The funny thing about Krusty,

351
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,599
though, is that like I'm pretty
sure, what is his name?

352
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,920
Procrustus Krusty's.
I keep thinking of Krusty the

353
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Clown.
Yeah.

354
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,840
Krusty the for short, but like I
think he's believed to actually

355
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,960
be a son of Poseidon, who
Theseus, who is also a son of

356
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,640
Poseidon does defeat him.
So it's like a very bizarre

357
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,040
chance thing that happens here.
He's a very, like, not well

358
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,560
known person, but his thing
literally in the myths is him

359
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,560
trying to fit people into an
iron bed.

360
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,080
Yes, and he does the same thing
here.

361
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,200
So he lures Annabeth and Grover
into beds.

362
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,600
He says, ergo, they get trapped
in there and it's stretching

363
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,120
them.
And so Percy has to outsmart him

364
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:06,600
and he makes him get into a bed
and he's like, oh, I'll just

365
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160
chop off the excess pieces that
are hanging out.

366
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240
That's what he did in the mist,
and that's what he was planning

367
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,800
on doing.
If they were too big, it's like

368
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,080
a very bizarre thing for even a
myth to happen.

369
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Like, I don't really know what
the message is behind.

370
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Like fitting in a bed perfectly
because don't make.

371
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,360
Yourself fit in well, it's a
beautiful thing actually.

372
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,960
No, I don't.
Don't be your own procrusties.

373
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,240
Believe in yourself.
The more you know, you know an.

374
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,440
Iron bed I don't know, it's
just.

375
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,440
I do love though, that this is
like the good old, like Percy

376
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,400
Bait and Switch where he's like,
I don't really think these are

377
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,040
good beds, you know, no one can
fit in them.

378
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,000
And this guy's like, wait a
minute, This is the, you know,

379
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,560
Crusty Palace.
He have the best beds.

380
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,160
He sold the salesman on his own
product.

381
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,880
It's just it's so silly.
But this is like Percy becoming

382
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560
a leader in some way, becoming
the hero while his friends are

383
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,440
getting stretched.
And you know how he really

384
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,920
showed himself as a leader?
He cut his head off.

385
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Yeah, Dang, that got real for
me.

386
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,000
I was like, oh.
I like how he was like.

387
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,520
I didn't give a second thought
and what I was about to do, it's

388
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,600
like.
OK.

389
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,400
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

390
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,280
I guess it does become easy to
kill monsters when they just

391
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080
turn into dust.
You know they'll come back.

392
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,920
And they're coming back.
So it's like really killing.

393
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,440
It's just more like you can go
to sleep and then they'll come

394
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,160
back later on, just like we know
misses Dodds did.

395
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Yeah, it definitely eases the
conscience.

396
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,560
A little bit, a little bit, but
like he went for the head, so

397
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,280
it's like.
But also, I guess if you're

398
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,560
watching your friends be
stretched to death and then

399
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,040
ultimately be chopped up, you're
kind of willing to do whatever

400
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,920
you have to do.
I guess so.

401
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,560
So next chapter.
Chapter 18.

402
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,360
Annabeth Does Obedience School.
Percy, Annabeth and Grover take

403
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,640
an elevator to the Underworld
and come face to face to face

404
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,200
with Ciboris.
Oh, I love anything that

405
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,880
Cerberus is in.
I love it.

406
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,920
I've always loved Cerberus.
I think that it's so such a

407
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,520
silly concept, but it's like
also really cool.

408
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,760
I liked that in this one they
broke the mould of what Cerberus

409
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,000
is.
He's a wrought wire.

410
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,880
Learned this when most of the
time even Percy says I thought

411
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,880
he was a black mastiff, Right.
That's what most of us think of

412
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,880
Cerberus.
I'm also just glad that they

413
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080
don't make him pit bulls, 'cause
like, we don't need that

414
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,360
stereotype for pitbulls.
No, but I mean, I think that

415
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,040
what we see here is that
Cerberus is just, he's just a

416
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,120
dog at his core.
He's just a good boy, He's.

417
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Got 3 heads?
Yeah.

418
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Yeah, so before they get to
Cerberus, I love when they first

419
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,160
walk in.
So here's the description of DOA

420
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Records.
Music played softly on hidden

421
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,160
speakers.
The carpets and walls were still

422
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,400
Gray.
Pencil cactuses grew in the

423
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,320
corners like skeleton hands.
The furniture was black leather

424
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,000
and every seat was taken.
Can I go on there?

425
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Yes.
There were people sitting on

426
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,840
couches, people standing up,
people staring out the windows

427
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,960
or waiting for the elevator.
Nobody moved or talked or did

428
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,000
much of anything out of the
corner of my eye.

429
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,400
I could see them all just fine.
But if I focused on any one of

430
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,560
them in particular, they started
looking transparent.

431
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,560
I could see right through their
bodies.

432
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Whoa, whoa.
That's so cool.

433
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,840
I'm very excited to see the
whole Underworld stuff in the

434
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,080
show.
It's just the visual of it and

435
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,040
the kind of like modernization
of it or this retelling of it

436
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,640
seems just super cool.
And I really love it.

437
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,400
And I also like that it's just
like a record studio that is the

438
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280
entrance to the underworld.
Just really cool.

439
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,880
What do humans see when they
walk into this place?

440
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,560
Do they see all these spirits?
Is it just Muzak playing and no

441
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,520
one's there to help?
Them, it's just Karen, I said.

442
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Karen.
Cat.

443
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,480
Karen, hi, I'm Karen.
Well, it's a carrion bird,

444
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,600
right?
It's like that's what the right

445
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Isn't that how you say it, he?
Explained it and I didn't.

446
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Write it down, Kyron.
No, it's not Kyron.

447
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,360
It's very it's.
Karen.

448
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:07,800
Yeah, it's Karen.
OK, there we go.

449
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,200
Whatever.
I like Karen.

450
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,880
Better, Yeah.
I'm going to call him Karen.

451
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Yeah, but he's this very like
suave person that looks like he

452
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,880
doesn't.
He like overspends on looking

453
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,680
good, though.
Like, I'm curious if like

454
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,920
mortals it to go in there.
It's just him sitting there and

455
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,640
nothing else is happening.
Just like so he knows that

456
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,320
they're not dead, but I love
that Percy tries to put one over

457
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,840
on him by saying like we all
drowned in a bathtub.

458
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,000
The same one.
He's like, what?

459
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,320
He might be like coming into
like his hero self, but like

460
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,720
just let somebody else speak
because he's not really good at

461
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,760
doing that.
Yeah, I think Annabeth should

462
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,440
have taken over at this point in
time.

463
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,640
I.
Think Annabeth during that was

464
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,120
like what?
Yeah, Grover, I think is willing

465
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:58,680
to go along with anything.
Annabeth should be taking the

466
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480
helm, but Percy for some reason
is steering the ship also.

467
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,760
She just lets him.
It's like Annabeth like.

468
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,640
Maybe she's too busy thinking
about all the puzzle pieces and

469
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,040
then she's like, oh damn it, he
said something stupid.

470
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,440
You.
Can't help it.

471
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,920
So they end up pawning their way
in there by paying him a lot of

472
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,920
money.
They got a big satchel of money

473
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,040
from Krusty's.
I love that every time Percy

474
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,280
kills a monster, he, like, loots
their offices.

475
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,600
I love it, yeah.
Because these are the things

476
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,240
that I think about on hero's
journeys, where I'm like, where

477
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,640
do they get their money from?
How do they do it?

478
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,320
It's like he steals it from the
monsters that try to kill them.

479
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,840
And I'm like that makes perfect
sense.

480
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,040
He loots the corpse just like a
game.

481
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,960
Oh my well.
He gets it so they go in an

482
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,440
elevator at 1st and then it
turns into a wooden barge.

483
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,000
So essentially this is the
hooded, hooded figure that you

484
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,440
would give passage to on the
River Styx to get to the

485
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,360
underworld.
That's what it is.

486
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,680
I love that like, he talks about
like, he tells the corpses.

487
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,240
Like, don't touch my easy
listening music.

488
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,120
If any of you yes, with my
music, it's over.

489
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:05,040
I mean he these people, he has
to take care of these people

490
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,640
forever.
And I would be the same way.

491
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,760
Like the one thing I enjoy when
I take you guys to this place.

492
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,000
Do not mess with it.
I was kind of hoping that Percy

493
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,640
would take whatever he had left
of his drachmas and give it to

494
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,680
everybody in the room so they
could all have passage.

495
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Oh, that would.
You know what?

496
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,880
OK, you know what I'm thinking
about?

497
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,320
OK, so like, a lot of half
bloods die when they're on their

498
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,960
quests and stuff like that, or
they get killed out in the real

499
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,440
world.
Who who gives them money to do

500
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,200
that?
Like, you know what I mean?

501
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,400
So, like, if they die out there,
like, who's giving them passage?

502
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Or like, do they bring their
bodies back to camp, half blood

503
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,720
to them, bury them.
But then do they tell their

504
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040
families of like, oops, there
was an accident at camp like?

505
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,720
Maybe we they just have to hope
that they have some money in

506
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,000
their pockets.
I don't.

507
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,080
Know, right?
Because the dead are buried with

508
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,880
the coins and then that's how
they pay.

509
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200
So you have to hope that you at
least have something.

510
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,760
Keep always keep a.
Quarter in your shoe, in your

511
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,040
mouth until you pay.
Tastes terrible, but it'll be

512
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,520
useful.
So the description of the River

513
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Styx, I really liked it, said
the description of it is I like

514
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,320
the the, so it was a bunch of
dead hopes and dreams and other

515
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560
metaphysical items floating
around in it.

516
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,840
So it's not just like physical
beings, it's all of like

517
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,560
people's aspirations that are
also dead.

518
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,080
And as we see in the underworld,
it's overcrowded.

519
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,840
So it's overcrowded with like
people's dreams and that

520
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,440
metaphysical stuff, but also
literal people.

521
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,840
And you can tell that like Mr.
Rick here is trying to talk

522
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,440
about, like the overcrowdedness
and like how the world is now

523
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,120
that not only are we like
killing the planet because he's

524
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,800
talking about the River Styx
literally being polluted.

525
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,880
Also, anybody of water that
Percy goes into is disgusting,

526
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,640
but also how overcrowded it is.
I mean, you have different lines

527
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,520
going into it and they're all
overcrowded and the only fast

528
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,880
line to go through is to go to
purgatory.

529
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,480
And just stand there in a field.
That's like Kansas.

530
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,760
Kansas Field.
But it's all stomped all over,

531
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,840
like it's not even a nice field.
The humans have destroyed that

532
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,360
even as well the spirits.
It's not the field of Reeds.

533
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,280
It sure is not.
One of the things that I liked

534
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,600
here is that I feel like we get
one of our first little clues

535
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,680
about Persebath, so it's as
Annabeth grabbed hold of my

536
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,280
hand.
Under normal circumstances this

537
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,600
would have embarrassed me, but I
understood how she felt.

538
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,920
She wanted reassurance that
somebody else was alive on this

539
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,320
boat.
It's those little moments that

540
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,720
are just so good.
She didn't grab Grubba's hand.

541
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,960
OK, I'm just saying.
She didn't.

542
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,720
She grabbed purses, but like the
journey to Persebath is a long,

543
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,880
slow burn.
And these little tiny moments

544
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,280
are what reminds you of, like,
there is a friendship being

545
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280
built here.
It started really in the tunnel

546
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,800
of love, which is funny, but it
is those little moments that

547
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,280
it's like, oh, but then when you
like finally get to the end,

548
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,640
it's like, oh and.
I think there is something else

549
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,800
to be said about them being 12,
right?

550
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,560
So it's an innocent crush at
this point.

551
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Maybe they're not even sure what
their feelings are.

552
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,320
And then?
Who they?

553
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Right.
And as time goes on, then it

554
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280
blossoms into something more
substantial, 100%.

555
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,200
So I think that that makes
perfect sense for the

556
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,040
characters.
But now they are making their

557
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,080
way.
Yes, and I like that the

558
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,000
underworld looked like a cross
between airport security and the

559
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,160
Jersey Turnpike.
To the worst things I.

560
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,120
Hate both of them.
The worst You like go through a

561
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,280
toll and it's like 17 lanes and
then it goes down to two

562
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,640
everybody's it's a fend for
themselves.

563
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,120
Oh my God.
There's also like a highway for

564
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,040
trucks and cars, but also just
cars.

565
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,160
It's very confusing.
I don't.

566
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,960
I don't.
I don't.

567
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,600
A lot.
Yeah, I'm just leaving it at

568
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,320
that.
So you could do the easy death

569
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,120
line and just go to the field
that's all stomped on, which

570
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,760
seems like a lot of people are
doing because it's moving fast.

571
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,320
Who wants to be standing in line
for eternity to then just have

572
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,920
your fate be judged by like
Thomas Jefferson?

573
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,720
And was it Thomas Jefferson?
Yeah, it was King Minnos, Thomas

574
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,240
Jefferson and Shakespeare.
And of all of those.

575
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,200
People like that.
Kind of all of those.

576
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,360
Shakespeare would be the only
one that I'd be like, OK, maybe

577
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,160
he's decent, The other two are
not.

578
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,680
Yeah, I wonder with Shakespeare
if, like, you could quote

579
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,160
Shakespeare to him and he'd be
like, you're, you're good

580
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,240
people.
The most obscure Shakespearean,

581
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,960
though.
Yeah, I'd just be like Romeo.

582
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,920
So as they're in line trying to
figure out what to do, they see

583
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,760
Cerberus and I love that
Annabeth kind of has her moment

584
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200
to shine here.
And she uses her obedience

585
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,400
training from her life with her
mortal family because they had a

586
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Doberman.
And she's like, oh, I can use

587
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,520
the ball that I got from
Waterworld to like distract it.

588
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:03,080
And like we kind of said
earlier, he just wants some

589
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,120
attention and she gives him that
attention.

590
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,640
They do fight.
The heads fight with each other,

591
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,040
which is also something that
like happens anytime services

592
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,640
anything, but I like it.
Yeah, and it And so, once they

593
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,320
finally get through it all,
Percy notices something and he

594
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,000
says I pretended not to see
Annabeth wipe a tear from her

595
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,480
cheek as she listened to the
mournful keening of Severus in

596
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,520
the distance, longing for his
new friend.

597
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040
It's so sad.
Yeah, I do want to just take a

598
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,200
personal moment here, if that's
OK, and just thank anyone who

599
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,240
had reached out to us to offer
their condolences for our

600
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,560
beautiful Dallas, our dog who
passed away just a little under

601
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,920
two weeks ago.
It's been rough.

602
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,600
That was a horrible.
I did not mean a pun.

603
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,600
It's hard, but thank you all so
much for your love and support.

604
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,360
She really was just so
beautiful.

605
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,480
It's been a hard year for us.
So thank you for everything.

606
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Yes.
And so whenever I lately when I

607
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,560
see any dog in any media, it
makes me think of her.

608
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,600
So this was, And especially with
Annabeth crying, this was no.

609
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840
Different I do.
I do want to like specifically

610
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,720
shout out Cara.
She sent very beautiful

611
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,320
ornaments because we lost both
of our dogs this year and she

612
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,000
sent beautiful ornaments of, you
know, a paw print with both of

613
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,640
their names.
It's just you guys.

614
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,200
Like, that was so sweet.
Yeah, when you do this kind of

615
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,760
stuff, like as podcasters, you
don't know who you're reaching,

616
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520
right?
And like those little tiny

617
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,160
moments, it's like, oh shit,
people care, like, about us.

618
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,120
Not very sweet.
What?

619
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,200
Even what we're doing.
So all right.

620
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,600
I will say that the original pun
that we made in our One Division

621
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,400
days still remains true that she
sure does care a lot.

622
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,880
I hope you're listening, Kara.
It's like you deserve it.

623
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,800
But thank you.
Yes.

624
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,040
All right, let's move on.
Chapter 19, we find out the

625
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,400
truth.
Sort of.

626
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,560
Grover's shoes have a mind of
their own, and Percy's pack

627
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,360
packs a double crossed secret.
Very nice.

628
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,880
Yeah, well.
So I try just just to not, like,

629
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,920
get in the weeds too much about
the beginning part of this

630
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,800
chapter.
We we kind of see the fields of

631
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,840
punishment.
We see Elysium, we see all of

632
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
this stuff.
And we also see like, where the

633
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800
gods or the heroes go.
So it's like islands that look

634
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,320
lush.
It's like a gated community

635
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,160
almost.
So you have these, like, you

636
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,360
still have elitism.
You still have like classism and

637
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,880
a happening here.
You see the fields of

638
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,200
punishment.
It's like every torture areas,

639
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,520
barbed wire off and.
Just awful people being chased

640
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,560
by hell hounds burned at the
stake, forced to run naked

641
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,920
through cactus patches or listen
to opera music.

642
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,320
I Rick.
Rick Rick is having fun in these

643
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240
last chapters.
He's being silly Goose.

644
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,080
I love it.
He's.

645
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,720
Like I hate opera.
I'm like, I would hate it.

646
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,040
I mean, to hear it for eternity.
I don't think I'd like it

647
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,720
either, because if you can't see
the opera itself, that's

648
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,040
probably worse.
And I guess for all eternity,

649
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,000
yeah, that's a.
Lot.

650
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,960
Oh my God.
One other silly thing he does is

651
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,480
that when they first get there,
it says Jasmines for Elysium and

652
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,640
eternal damnation welcome newly
deceased.

653
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,240
It's so good.
I love it.

654
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,400
So twist the shoes that Grover's
wearing, The shoes that fly

655
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Mira, all that start acting on
their own and start pulling him

656
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,160
away from everything, and it
pulls him to a very familiar

657
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,400
chasm.
Percy says.

658
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,000
Wait a minute.
I remember that pin that was in

659
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,320
my dreams.
Luckily they're on Grover

660
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,840
though, because he had he has
hooves and they don't fill out

661
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,680
the whole shoes, right?
So they're a little loose.

662
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,920
So he ends up getting out of
them.

663
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,200
Yep.
He just pops his little hooves

664
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,680
out.
And I love that when the shoe,

665
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,480
the last shoe that got off of
them, got mad and, like, kicked

666
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,840
them in the head and then went
back for its twin.

667
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,640
So it's the the entrance to
Tartarus, the the deepest,

668
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,160
deepest, deepest, deepest part
of the underworld.

669
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,600
This is where, like, the gods
put the things that, like, they

670
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,120
really don't like.
So Tartarus is right there, but

671
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,000
something is in there.
They can feel it.

672
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,760
It's not good.
So they run away.

673
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,960
They're like no thanks.
Mike.

674
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,480
Again, this is the thing that's
like something happening, but

675
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,520
like, we're going to ignore it.
I would probably ignore it, too.

676
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,000
That's a little too scary.
I'd be like, let's just go to

677
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,520
Haiti.
There's a lot.

678
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,760
Yeah, there's too much.
Too much.

679
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,600
You almost went down there.
Gotta go, gotta go.

680
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,680
This is obviously setting up for
future stories within the

681
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,080
universe of Percy Jackson.
Unfortunately, by the end of

682
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,520
this we do not get real answers
for anything, no, but it's very

683
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,840
smart for him to set it up that
way.

684
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,120
He's good.
Yeah.

685
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,600
All right.
So you know how I love these

686
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,880
descriptions of these people,
Minotaur being my favorite.

687
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,280
I think that's all of our
favorites.

688
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,440
But this description of Hades is
fantastic.

689
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,080
So it was.
He was at least 10 feet tall,

690
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,400
for one thing, and dressed in
black silk robes and a crown of

691
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,880
braided gold.
His skin was albino white, his

692
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,880
hair shoulder length and jet
black.

693
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,320
He was bulk.
He wasn't bulked up like Aries,

694
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,199
but he radiated power.
He lounged on his throne of

695
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:14,000
fused human bones, looking live,
graceful and dangerous as a

696
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,320
Panther.
I love it.

697
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,880
Oh my God.
I love that he made him kind of

698
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,360
seem like the typical thing that
you like a greasy, you know,

699
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,000
like kind of guy.
But he's radiating power.

700
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,480
I love that description.
Black silk robes.

701
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,960
Ooh, Haiti said.
I like to lay in the lap of

702
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,520
luxury.
Well, I mean he is kind of

703
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,360
concerned that his like wealth
and all his resources is being

704
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,840
drained because he's
overpopulated the under.

705
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,600
He said.
Just me and my human bones.

706
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,639
That's all I got.
And his like guards with every

707
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,280
type of mass destruction weapon,
if possible, was just waiting

708
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,840
for his command.
And again, we see this very cool

709
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,920
thing that we saw with Aries
where Hades's aura effects them.

710
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:02,360
He he.
It says the Lord of the Dead

711
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,360
resembled pictures I'd seen of
Adolf Hitler or Napoleon or the

712
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480
terrorist leaders who direct
suicide bombers.

713
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,640
Haiti had the same intense eyes,
the same kind of mesmerizing,

714
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,120
evil charisma.
So good the descriptions like

715
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,800
Rick hats off.
Very good descriptions.

716
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,720
Especially when you like want
him pack a punch with them.

717
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,800
So good.
So Long story short, with this

718
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,200
conversation they get to know
the truth.

719
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:32,200
Sort of.
So Hades, Helm of Darkness is

720
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,760
gone.
Hades thinks that Percy has the

721
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Master Bowl and also his helm.
He does not surprise.

722
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,000
The backpack the Aries gave him
does have the master bolt in it.

723
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,360
Now he's like walking.
And he's like, oh, my backpack

724
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,920
got heavier.
Maybe I should check that.

725
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,600
Well, not right now.
Again, a child, Not really.

726
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,240
He's like just again, put it
away for later.

727
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,720
So it's easy to see that like
Aries gave him the backpack,

728
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,800
which also has the master bolt
in it, but also twist.

729
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,840
We knew that Sally was going to
be down there somewhere, so 80s

730
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,360
is holding her.
Yes, it's kind of sad because

731
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,680
she's still in that moment of
like, being killed, so he can't

732
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,800
really even talk to her.
He only has three pearls.

733
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,680
And Hades knows that.
He's like, you either give me

734
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,680
all the stuff or do the stuff
that I'm telling you, or I'm

735
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,400
going to unleash the dead to the
surface, which I think he wants

736
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
to do anyway, 'cause he's like,
get there's too many, get him

737
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,880
out of here.
And he's also holding Sally

738
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,400
Jackson.
And if he doesn't do one of

739
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,840
those things, he's going to like
bye bye Sally.

740
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Yeah, so Percy at this point
remembers what the Oracle said

741
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,640
and realizing that the thing
that he won't be able to save is

742
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,000
actually his mother.
So he's not saying goodbye to

743
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,160
her.
He's saying I will come back for

744
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,800
you.
But in this moment I know what I

745
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,720
have to do.
Right.

746
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:51,480
He has the Master Bowl, so now
all he has to do is tell Zeus

747
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,200
and hopefully they'll help.
Which is, I think, smart, right?

748
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Because it's like, how are you
going to side?

749
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,720
And I like that he realizes that
his mom wouldn't want him to

750
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:05,120
sacrifice himself or one of his
friends for her.

751
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:10,560
Exactly like that's her job.
And I'm glad that he heeded that

752
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,120
Sea Spirits warning as well of
like don't trust Hades.

753
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,240
Follow your heart, Wink.
See what we're saying?

754
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,120
Yeah, so he does.
They smash the pearls and they

755
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,280
go right up into the bank.
Yes, it like puts them in a

756
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,360
bubble and they go all the way
to the surface.

757
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,560
This very much reminds me of My
Little Ponies.

758
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:34,080
So in the first episode ever of
My Little Ponies, Megan and

759
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:39,240
Firefly fall into the water and
the sea ponies save them.

760
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,760
There was a pony named Firefly
and Megan.

761
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,320
No, no, no.
Megan was the girl.

762
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,000
Megan was the girl that the
ponies got.

763
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,040
No, So wait, they fall in the
water.

764
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,240
But then the sea ponies come and
they sing a whole song.

765
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:58,120
It's the Best Song Ever.
Are they called sea ponies?

766
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,280
Yeah, like, they're sea horses,
but they're sea ponies.

767
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,000
Wait, do they not use the word
horse in My Little Pony at all?

768
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,240
My Little Pony.
They're all ponies, OK?

769
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,440
Well, isn't a pony just like a
small horse?

770
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,480
That or like a.
Small magical horses.

771
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,880
But do they grow up into horses?
They're ponies.

772
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,760
Wow, I can't believe I'm getting
this push back right now.

773
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,200
But anyway, so they fall into
the water and then they see

774
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,040
ponies saying shooby Doo, shooby
Doo.

775
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,440
It's such a good song.
Oh my God, I'll send you the

776
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,840
like.
But they put them in a bubble,

777
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,320
Noah.
You have to watch it.

778
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,240
It's one of my favorite
childhood memories.

779
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,200
And they put them in bubbles and
they rise to the surface of the

780
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,040
water.
And then they give them a

781
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,840
seashell.
And they say if you ever need us

782
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,440
again, you just throw the
seashell in the ocean.

783
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,960
We'll come and get.
We'll come and help you.

784
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,280
Oh, so it's not like a one time
use like the pearls?

785
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,080
No, exactly.
OK, so I'll make you a deal.

786
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,200
I will watch My Little Pony if.
Just that one.

787
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,800
What a.
Thing.

788
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,120
No, I don't even want to.
Watch.

789
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,120
You have to.
You have to agree.

790
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,920
No, because I don't.
Because Noah's been trying to

791
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,280
get me to rewatch Lost and I
don't want to agree to anything.

792
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,800
That's what I was going to say,
I.

793
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,160
Do it.
I knew it.

794
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,400
Does anybody want to watch Lost
with Me?

795
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,520
OK anyway.
Anyway.

796
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,480
Highly.
Recommend that entire scene and

797
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,480
this reminded me of it.
It made me very happy.

798
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:23,320
That's good.
There's.

799
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,240
The Sea ponies.
One of them has a bow.

800
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,560
I can't.
It's too much.

801
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,080
OK, on to a a demigod and.
God Battle, OK, Chapter 20 I

802
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,520
Does anybody else remember that?
Chapter 20 I battle my jerk.

803
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,520
Relative things go from wet to
worse as things heat up on the

804
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,200
beach OK.
So that one was good.

805
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,160
It was good.
But it was like, oh, OK, so

806
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,200
Percy realizes that.
Haiti.

807
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,200
Haiti.
Haitians.

808
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,840
The Aries.
He realizes that Hades didn't do

809
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,240
anything right, Right.
So it's like the thing of like,

810
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:06,000
maybe the bad guy isn't really
the bad guy.

811
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,400
And it turns out Aries was
behind some of it.

812
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,680
There's still like, other things
being pulled here, so he has to

813
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,840
go talk to the person that
betrayed him, which is Aries.

814
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,520
They get to the beach, Coast
Guard like brings him to the

815
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,640
beach and like bye, we have to
save.

816
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,080
Other people, kids, goodbye.
And of course Aries is there and

817
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,600
he's mad because Percy didn't
die.

818
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,320
Like the whole plan was to get
Percy down there and for him to

819
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,520
be dead and then start the war
and then blah blah blah.

820
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,760
So they have to fight, which I
love.

821
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,600
That Percy at this point is like
some game.

822
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,960
I got it.
I can fight a God.

823
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,200
Listen, Percy is not afraid to
take some vengeance on some

824
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:50,000
double crossing gods, all right?
And Aries is a real jerk.

825
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,520
Yeah, I mean, I do think in the
grand scheme of things, right,

826
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,520
it's like Aries is strength.
They've said they said this in

827
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,600
the book, that he's strength.
He's not really smart.

828
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,800
But I do think the person that
planned this and for Aries to

829
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,840
understand how good of a plan it
is of like killing having Hades

830
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,080
kill the son of Poseidon to make
Poseidon mad at Hades.

831
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,400
But then Zeus being mad at both
of them, it would create a

832
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,320
disastrous war, right?
And we can see too when they get

833
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,440
to the surface that like parts
of like LA are on fire.

834
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,000
So like things are starting to
escalate a little bit and Percy

835
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,120
realizes that he has to take
action now because the sun going

836
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,040
down and it's like summer.
Solstice, we also do see this

837
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:41,600
thing where Aries is kind of
like has a voice in his head and

838
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,240
he's kind of like getting
tripped up by it.

839
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,240
And he says I'm the God of War.
I take orders from no one.

840
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,400
I don't have dreams.
Which nobody mentioned.

841
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,760
Right.
And Percy's like, wait a minute,

842
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,040
nobody said no, nothing but no
dreams, baby.

843
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,640
Which I think does plant a seed
for, like, there's a little more

844
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,320
to Aries than we're letting on,
right?

845
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,120
He's not just somebody that
loves war.

846
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,600
Like, yeah, that's where he kind
of comes from.

847
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,800
But, like, does he just want to
do that?

848
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,160
So like, what is his dream?
Does he just want to, like, hang

849
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,640
out and like?
Be fine.

850
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,640
I think that he dreamed a dream
of time gone by.

851
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:20,080
OK.
And Hathaway, so this, I want to

852
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,960
say, is like really at the top
three of the things that I'm

853
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:29,120
super excited to see in the show
because this is really like the

854
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,960
showdown of.
Of this book.

855
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,640
Of the book, right.
So you have Percy Fighting

856
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,120
Aries, you have all the cops
descending on it, which they

857
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,760
think that they have guns, which
I think is hilarious that

858
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,440
they're just watching it.
But nobody's shooting.

859
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Are they just, like, hitting the
guns together?

860
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,440
I'm going to get a cab.
I want to know what they're

861
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,120
saying.
You have all the Furies coming.

862
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,600
There's.
Also, that wall of fire?

863
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,480
That's very cool.
So good.

864
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,000
There's also a bore.
RIP the bore that gets washed

865
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,160
out to sea.
Yeah, I mean, Percy was like

866
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:01,160
wave he.
Said Bore.

867
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,720
More like bacon.
Get out of here.

868
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:08,120
What a bore.
So they fight.

869
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,760
He uses the pressure of the
ocean.

870
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,000
He's really coming into his
powers of the ocean and using

871
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
these abilities, and he stabs
him in the ankle.

872
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,520
And that just like sets Aries
over the edge.

873
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,040
How dare you?
Mama, he's got gold blood coming

874
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,200
out.
He is not happy.

875
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:30,080
So he's not happy about it and
he curses Percy, which I come

876
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,640
into play later.
He says you have made an enemy,

877
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,960
godling.
You have sealed your fate.

878
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,960
Every time you raise your blade
in battle, every time you hope

879
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,160
for success, you will feel my
curse.

880
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,600
Beware Perseus Jackson.
Beware.

881
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,320
And then he runs away.
Well, he turns into light that

882
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,400
you can't look.
At don't look at.

883
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,520
His full immortal form.
Don't look at it.

884
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
It'll make your eyeballs melt
and you'll go COO.

885
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,520
COO COO COO COO COO.
So he ends up giving the Fury

886
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,080
the furry furry.
Oh man, what is happening?

887
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,120
The.
Minotaurus still in my.

888
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,480
Head.
Oh my God, he said.

889
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:09,040
All those tiny whities.
So missus Dobbs the Fury the.

890
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:15,080
Megan that Mulally.
Electo, if you will, comes and

891
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,280
he gives the Helm of Darkness
series like here give this to

892
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,320
Hades, whatever.
But she does kind of leave it

893
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,640
with like, good but bad, she
said.

894
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,200
Live well, Percy Jackson,
Because true.

895
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,280
Become a true hero.
Because if you do not, if you

896
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,080
ever come into my clutches
again, Dun Dun, Dun.

897
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,520
She'll be back.
Why is everybody just, like,

898
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,280
hating on Percy?
Oh no.

899
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,480
The guy just, like, got the helm
back.

900
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,960
Here you go.
Return the Bolt like he's a good

901
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,600
kid.
They're just like, it's like

902
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,400
it's like this thing of with
these, with these creatures or

903
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,560
these gods.
It's like if you best them in

904
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,960
any way, even if it's besting
them to help them, they can't

905
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,800
stand that you're the one that
got the glory.

906
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,160
Right, Yeah.
Get over yourself.

907
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,440
But I do like, I do think there
is some type of like, OK, like,

908
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,960
thank you, I can go bring this
back to like my master and like,

909
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,880
but like, don't cross my path
again.

910
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,960
Like you defeated me two times.
I kind of like that.

911
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,600
So I think there's like a
personal thing going on now.

912
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,560
And pluck your eyes out.
Or shit the the fire whips and

913
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,560
stuff.
So cool, so cool.

914
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,920
So they decide they don't have
much time left and they need to

915
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,240
get to Manhattan, They need to
go to Olympus, so they're going

916
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:32,920
to fly.
They're going into Zeus's

917
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,560
territory.
Which they're not supposed to

918
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,720
do.
No.

919
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,080
OK, chapter 21.
I settled my tab.

920
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,960
Percy takes an elevator to the
top of the Empire State Building

921
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,640
and reunites with loved ones,
big and small.

922
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,080
Oh, big and small.
Big and small.

923
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,000
God's really big as Mom.
Small.

924
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,200
So one of the.
Developments in the beginning of

925
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,960
this is that Percy Jackson is no
longer a delinquent in the eyes

926
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,680
of America.
The mist has like, changed or

927
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,720
something.
And like, he's not bad.

928
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:06,840
It turns out Aries.
Aries kidnapped these people and

929
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,400
wreaked havoc on the bus with
the bat and all the stuff.

930
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,360
He was trying to cause
distractions and get away from

931
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,840
his kidnapper.
So like, that's good.

932
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,240
And it explains like later in
the like the the cops don't have

933
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,520
to be after him for like 5
books, right?

934
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,680
It's like we've ended that.
Yeah, they've ended it.

935
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,800
But he does part ways with
Annabeth and Grover, which is

936
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,160
this is, it's very typical of
these types of stories, right?

937
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,840
It's like I got to do the final
part.

938
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,040
Yes, it's me.
I'm it's very serious that I

939
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,360
just just by myself, even though
you've helped me through every

940
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,880
single thing.
And you've literally saved my

941
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,120
life the entire time.
You have to go back.

942
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,200
You have to go back and tell
them because I have to go to

943
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,360
Olympus by myself.
Yeah, so he gets to go to

944
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,120
Olympus, they go tell Chiron.
They're like, OK, bye I guess.

945
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,160
So he finally gets to Olympus
and I really like the visual

946
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,280
that he sets here.
It's like, you know, like marble

947
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,160
and it's in the sky.
It's as high as Lane should be,

948
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,800
and you know, it doesn't seem as
like bustling as you would think

949
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,200
Olympus would be, right?
It's like the Underworld is so

950
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,080
crowded, there's so much going
on and then Olympus is like a

951
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,080
couple.
People, it's like a beautiful,

952
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,440
like the the top of the mountain
is like a beautiful little

953
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,200
village.
Right, Yeah.

954
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,600
Not too much happening.
It's definitely not like the

955
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Underworld.
No, not at all.

956
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:25,440
And he goes to Zeus's throne
room, and really only Poseidon

957
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,560
and Zeus are there.
The only ones he interacts with,

958
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:32,560
yeah, And it it's really
interesting, like you would

959
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:36,080
think.
I'm more curious because we know

960
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,120
that Poseidon has been helping
him throughout this whole thing.

961
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,440
Sending his friends.
Right.

962
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,720
But like when he does finally
get to see him, there's like

963
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:46,440
nothing.
And I'm curious if it's because

964
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,680
Zeus is present that, like he
doesn't really want to seem

965
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,240
like.
Well, it's like a forbidden

966
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:53,960
child.
Yeah, but like, he already

967
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,880
claimed him, like, so he defied
it anyway.

968
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,920
And like, son's there, you know
what?

969
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,480
And so it's like, I kind of
hoped that's the only thing in

970
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,760
the movie that I did like
because you kind of saw

971
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,080
Poseidon.
Like once they were alone,

972
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,320
Poseidon was like, oh, hi, like
you're my son.

973
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,960
I love you.
He doesn't really get any of

974
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,440
that here.
Like, very little, but not a

975
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,800
lot.
He's like, good job get Yeah,

976
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,920
you did it.
So I want to read the

977
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,920
descriptions of our two gods
here, because it just wouldn't

978
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,000
be complete if I didn't.
So Zeus, the Lord of the Gods,

979
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,120
wore a dark blue pinstripe suit.
He sat on a simple throne of

980
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,240
solid platinum, simple platinum.
He had a well trimmed beard,

981
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,120
marbled Gray and black like a
storm cloud.

982
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,560
His face was proud and handsome
and grim, his eyes rainy Gray.

983
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,400
Nice.
And now our good friend

984
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,880
Poseidon.
He wore leather sandals, khaki

985
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,880
Bermuda shorts and a Tommy
Bahama shirt with coconuts and

986
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,360
parrots all over it.
I don't.

987
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,000
His skin was deeply tanned, his
hands scarred like an old time

988
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,400
fisherman's.
His hair was black like mine.

989
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,560
His face had the same brooding
look that had always gotten me

990
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,800
branded a rebel.
But his eyes, sea green like

991
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,520
mine, were surrounded by sun
crinkles that told me he smiled

992
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,240
a lot too, Daddy.
Except for when your kid is in

993
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:14,640
your presence.
Daddy.

994
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,000
Will you smile for me, Daddy?
You're only kid and he's like,

995
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,120
no thanks.
He's like, how's that hot piece

996
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,920
of tail, Sally?
I don't like the description of

997
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,400
Poseidon.
I think it's lame, but like,

998
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,320
whatever.
I think it's too on the nose,

999
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,480
you know what I mean?
Like Zeus is in a suit, so it's

1000
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,920
like, oh, that's kind of cool.
And then, yeah, and Poseidon is

1001
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,960
just looks like a beach bum, you
know what I mean?

1002
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,960
Like.
He's he's supposed to be.

1003
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,280
Does he work at Rajon Buffett?
He's Margaritaville, I guess.

1004
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,400
Wasting away?
No.

1005
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,960
Like my I.
Get it?

1006
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,880
I just don't like it.
Does Poseidon eat seafood?

1007
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,400
That is the question.
Probably not.

1008
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,520
You know you would.
But aren't they like his?

1009
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:53,680
No.
Citizens I.

1010
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:55,880
Don't know.
Coconut shrimp.

1011
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,360
I don't know.
He probably does eat them.

1012
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,480
So what?
Fish So the conversation here is

1013
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,400
he has to pretty much plead his
case to Zeus and say, like, this

1014
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,600
is what happens.
Aries is the one that did it.

1015
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Here's your Masterbolt.
Like, hello.

1016
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,280
He believes him, but like, not
really.

1017
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,160
He's just like, I have my eye on
you.

1018
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,840
Also, you're not supposed to be
here.

1019
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,600
Why is no one grateful?
He gave it to him, right?

1020
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:26,440
Even if I stole it, why would?
I bring it, yeah, he's like #1.

1021
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160
I didn't even steal it. #2 Here
it is.

1022
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:30,800
I've.
I've brought it back.

1023
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,440
To you.
So it's like it's one of those

1024
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,600
things where he finally gets to
the big boss, he finally gets to

1025
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,800
his dad, and it's kind of an
underwhelming experience, right?

1026
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,880
And it's he knows he's in the
presence of these big things.

1027
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,160
But Zeus doesn't want to talk
about anything of possibly

1028
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:52,120
what's in Tartarus.
His father pieces of him like he

1029
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,520
doesn't want to talk about it.
He's like I forbid any of this

1030
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,760
being talked about because
that's not the what's happening.

1031
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,480
It's not true.
Again why would Percy lie?

1032
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,280
Yeah whatever you.
I guess he thinks he has his

1033
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,400
reason.
Zeus leaves the room and the

1034
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,880
sighting and Percy do kind of
have a conversation.

1035
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,840
He does call his Mama queen,
which is, like, really sweet.

1036
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:17,160
You can tell that like he wants
to love them, but like, you

1037
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,440
can't.
Yeah, and we also have an

1038
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,680
apology here where he says that
he's sorry he brought him to the

1039
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,800
world because that means he has
a hero's fate, and a lot of

1040
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,120
times it's never a happy fate.
They never have happy fates,

1041
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,640
yes, but like, also rude, like
you wish I wasn't born then you

1042
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,920
shouldn't have done it.
But this is the first time

1043
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,840
you're seeing me in years, and
this is what you're saying to

1044
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,760
me?
All right, Dad.

1045
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,600
Terrible.
They're rude.

1046
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,120
Yeah, So.
That's pretty much for that

1047
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,920
chapter.
Well, he does.

1048
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,200
He goes home.
Oh yeah.

1049
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,000
Oh yeah, because Sally is back.
Yes.

1050
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,240
So Sally is home, which is a an
amazing thing.

1051
00:51:58,480 --> 00:51:59,840
He just let her go.
Back, yes.

1052
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,560
And when?
Because he got the Helm of

1053
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,600
Darkness back so.
But when he gets home, the

1054
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,520
apartment is disgusting because
Gabe has just been basically

1055
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,640
decomposing.
I forgot that this was this

1056
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:15,320
chapter.
And so we do see in this chapter

1057
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:21,680
that Gabe is just being horrible
and he is yelling and he's

1058
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,480
gesticulating and Percy's mom
actually flinches.

1059
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,280
And this is what it says.
It says for the first time I

1060
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,880
realized something.
Gabe had hit my mother.

1061
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,040
OK, woof.
Yeah, I I didn't remember this.

1062
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,760
I think maybe subconsciously we
kind of knew that this happened.

1063
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,720
Literally one line it's it's, I
mean it's two senses, but it's.

1064
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:45,600
Well, I mean, Frank, from the
beginning, interactions with

1065
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,480
him, when we were first talking
about it, we were like, was he

1066
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,320
hitting her?
Like, it feels like there's more

1067
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,280
abuse going on here.
But having this lamely set out,

1068
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,520
especially in the middle grade
book like this is heavy.

1069
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,040
From what I remember of the
other books like it does get a

1070
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,160
little dark and stuff, but like
I feel like the first book was

1071
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,520
pretty heavy.
I think there's like something

1072
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,520
to be said of when it's like
demigod on monster violence,

1073
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,800
it's kind of fun, but when it's
talking about human on human

1074
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,400
violence, it's very scary.
Well, especially somebody like

1075
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,880
Sally, right?
It's like Sally's an Angel.

1076
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,080
And when we know that she's
putting herself in the situation

1077
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:26,320
for Percy.
Yeah, his dad did tell him

1078
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,160
something of like, you're going
to have to make a decision.

1079
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Nobody can make the decision for
you.

1080
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,040
You have to do it.
And one of the things that comes

1081
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,640
about is in his room there's a
package, the package of Medusa's

1082
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:40,360
head that he sent it got
returned to sender and he has to

1083
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,040
really this next chapter and his
decision is really like, OK, do

1084
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,280
I like take out Gabe?
Do I go back to camp half blood,

1085
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,400
like, what is going on?
His mom really didn't know

1086
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,680
anything.
She doesn't remember anything

1087
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,240
since the Minotaur, so he had to
fill her all in.

1088
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,440
So easy do.
Yeah.

1089
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:58,800
So he's just kind of like mom.
You know what?

1090
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,040
I'm going to leave this here for
you.

1091
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,000
In case you need it.
Wink.

1092
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,560
I'm going to go back to Game
Applet.

1093
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,000
I have things to do.
Yes, So that leads us to our

1094
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
final chapter of the book,
Chapter 22.

1095
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:14,480
The Prophecy comes true.
Camp goodbyes are bad, but the

1096
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,680
sting of betrayal hurts more.
Very.

1097
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,520
Yeah, I said.
Sting.

1098
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,680
I love that.
Like he goes back to camp half

1099
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,560
blood.
And like he does things, he does

1100
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,480
camp things because camp is
still happening.

1101
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,000
And he's getting better at them.
Yeah, he.

1102
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,520
Climbs the Rockwall and doesn't
get burned at all.

1103
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,640
And like, they have to burn
their burial shrouds because

1104
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,840
they actually got to come back,
which is like a really morbid

1105
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,320
but kind of nice thing that,
like your cabin is supposed to

1106
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:42,880
make.
The thing that you're going to

1107
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:48,680
be buried in an Aries cabin
volunteered to make Percy's

1108
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,280
since he's the only one and has
a bunch of like smiley faces and

1109
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,600
loser.
I it is sort of funny like oh,

1110
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,600
they left on a quest in the next
day like Mr. DS like, all right

1111
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,240
guys, get get ready those
burials frouds.

1112
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:02,840
It's the arts and crafts.
Function exactly.

1113
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,160
Of camp, Yes, yes, I really love
it.

1114
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:11,800
But I just love the pettiness of
Aries Cabin and I'm kind of

1115
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,640
concerned that Aries children
are still allowed to be there.

1116
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,160
But yes, I mean I guess the sins
of their father is not their

1117
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,080
own, but I don't trust.
It I'm sorry.

1118
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,040
Clarice has just been awful this
entire time.

1119
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,960
I do not trust her or her
siblings.

1120
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,160
Her spear is broken.
OK, she's pissed.

1121
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,680
Very pissed.
And she is again like her father

1122
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,440
and Will has Percy on her shit
list.

1123
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,400
Yeah, there is some also big
character development happening

1124
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,240
in the spine.
Grover.

1125
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:43,800
Yeah, he gets his searcher's
license and he's going off to

1126
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,160
search for a pan.
And it's really sweet too,

1127
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,160
because it's like his two
friends that he went through

1128
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,360
everything and Percy is talking
about is like, I want to go with

1129
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,760
him or like, I don't want him to
go, but like, he has to.

1130
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,960
Like this is his thing.
And it's really sweet.

1131
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:01,360
I think it's mature for somebody
that age to, like, let go when

1132
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,120
they have to.
And then also Percy is really

1133
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,480
left with the decision of like
he's finally feeling that he

1134
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:12,680
belongs somewhere.
So does he decide to stay there

1135
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,600
year round or just do summer?
Because then he could just be

1136
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:21,560
with his mom, because we find
out that his mom used Medusa on

1137
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,800
some other game.
Mama.

1138
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,000
And.
She said I'm selling art.

1139
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,280
She sold him, got a shit ton of
money and it's like I'm

1140
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,800
enrolling to become a writer.
I'm going to school.

1141
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,440
Which size?
Concrete sculpture.

1142
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,840
Good for her.
I love it.

1143
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,800
You're never too old to go to
school and to do whatever you

1144
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,000
want to do.
If you have to use Medusa on a

1145
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,200
abusive person to do it, go
ahead.

1146
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,800
The fact that he is in poker
playing mode means that he was

1147
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,840
sitting at the table with his
friends and she whipped that

1148
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,520
Medusa head out and she said
watch this motherfucker.

1149
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,640
Open that box.
I got a present for you, Gabe.

1150
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,960
Yeah.
So his really big, one of his

1151
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:06,480
big decisions here is deciding
that before he decides.

1152
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,040
Remember the Oracle, the
prophecy that they said.

1153
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,360
There's still one thing when I
was getting, when I was reading

1154
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,360
this, I was like, OK, it's all
done.

1155
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,880
And then he was like the Oracle
said somebody's going to betray

1156
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,760
me, that I call friend.
And I was like, Oh, yeah, I

1157
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,320
forgot about that.
I forgot that this betrayal

1158
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,920
happens right at the end of the
book the.

1159
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,760
Very end of.
Which is so good.

1160
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,240
Yeah, so everybody's leaving for
camp.

1161
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,800
Percy decides, you know what,
I'm going to go train a little

1162
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,400
bit.
I'm going to bring my my sword

1163
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,280
down, good ol Riptide and see
what's going on.

1164
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,960
But guess who else is training?
Luke.

1165
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,640
Luke.
And Luke has a very special

1166
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:49,600
sword, one with two blades, made
of two different types.

1167
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,600
Of stuff.
It's 2 sided so it's the same

1168
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,000
but it's like just split down
the middle which is so cool.

1169
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,920
I love it.
It has different colours and

1170
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,840
it's really cool.
So it's to kill monsters and

1171
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,640
also hurt mortals.
One side is celestial bronze,

1172
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,320
the other is tempered steel.
Works on mortals and immortals

1173
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:12,360
both, so Backbiter is looking to
kill everyone.

1174
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,040
That's.
Almost in its path, like it's

1175
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,880
back snapper, but it's
backbiter.

1176
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,720
Because it sounds cooler, yeah.
And also, it's not too on the

1177
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:22,880
nose at this point.
True.

1178
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,320
So he pretty much is like,
Percy, let's go into the woods

1179
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,720
and like fight something, you
know, kids camp is like

1180
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,080
happening.
And he's like, OK again, the sea

1181
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:34,960
spirit told you to trust your
heart.

1182
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,200
This is one of those moments
again, I don't think it's ever

1183
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,920
going to stop where you need to
trust your heart.

1184
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,040
It's like I can't give you
everything, Percy.

1185
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,880
So he goes into the woods and
the scorpion comes into play and

1186
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:53,640
it turns out that's Luke was the
one that was the thief during

1187
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,360
the winter solstice, the the
field trip, he was the one that

1188
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,800
was acting with the thing in the
pit to do all these things.

1189
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,160
So it wasn't even his father
that was making him do this.

1190
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,440
He went rogue.
His Kronos.

1191
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,600
And I do.
His father is to blame though,

1192
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,480
right?
Because like he talks about how

1193
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,800
his father sent him on a quest
just to get a golden apple,

1194
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,160
which has already been done
before.

1195
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,480
That's how he got a scar.
So I get his resentment, but

1196
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,480
like, he really wants to take
down the whole thing.

1197
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:26,000
Yeah, and I, you know, there is
something to be said about them

1198
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,080
just being pawns in their
parents lives and being used and

1199
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,920
not really being cared for.
But he also is having, you know,

1200
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,280
the father of all the gods
whisper in his ear trying to get

1201
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,880
him to do his revenge.
So he's definitely being

1202
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,320
brainwashed at this point.
Right.

1203
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,440
And it's it's one of those
things where it's going to be a

1204
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,680
journey for Percy and Annabeth
and the people that will believe

1205
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,360
Percy of, like, what's happening
with Kronos and all of that.

1206
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:54,040
But like, because they said, oh,
he put them into pieces, Like

1207
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,200
occasionally, like, he'll like,
influence somebody to do

1208
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,000
terrible things, but he's never
coming back together.

1209
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,160
And Percy's like, oh, he is.
And this is proof, right, that

1210
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,640
like, he literally has a demigod
working for him.

1211
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,560
It's not.
Good, no?

1212
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,920
So our good friend Percy, he
does get stung by the scorpion,

1213
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,720
even though he cuts it in half.
Before he does, he gets stung.

1214
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,080
Luke escapes.
He uses backbiter to slash a

1215
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,480
hole in the universe, and he
gets out of there.

1216
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,400
He did a clia from Doctor
Strange.

1217
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,360
He sure did.
And and then Percy does end up

1218
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,680
getting help, but he does almost
die, and he wakes up.

1219
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,960
He wakes up again just as he
arrived at camp, being nursed

1220
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,640
back to health by Anna Beth.
Full circle.

1221
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,840
Just a little sip and nectar
will do you good.

1222
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,520
And also, so again, there is
character development, right,

1223
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:47,640
that we don't experience until
it's told to Percy and he's

1224
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,360
assuming that Annabeth is going
to be there year round.

1225
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,120
And I think that probably would
have pushed him to be a year

1226
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,600
round this day.
Yeah, right.

1227
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,160
And she took his advice and
reached out and her family's

1228
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,720
there and she's going to try
again, which again, these kids,

1229
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,800
it's just good writing, right?
Like, I love the thought of

1230
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,000
second chances, even with
Annabeth, because Annabeth seems

1231
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,320
very like, Nope, you've crossed
me, I don't want to do it.

1232
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,840
But like, she's grown a little
bit.

1233
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,480
Percy rubbed off on her and
she's like, I'm going to try.

1234
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,720
It's the harm in trying.
She could just come right back.

1235
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,520
She always has a place that
can't have blood.

1236
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,080
And so Percy realizes that, OK,
when we come back together next

1237
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,360
year, we'll go on a quest again.
But until then, I'm going to go

1238
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:29,720
home.
Because he's like, I want to go

1239
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,720
after Luke, I want to do this.
And Kyron's like, no, Like you

1240
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,720
need, you need some time.
Like, don't go for revenge.

1241
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,600
Sit down and think a little bit
And that's really how where it

1242
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,240
ends.
That's the Lightning Thief.

1243
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,760
And then there's just four more
books, and then it is more

1244
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,480
universe and now a brand new
one.

1245
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,920
Yeah, and there's going to be
two more brand new ones.

1246
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,040
College years.
I love it.

1247
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,160
So what did you think?
What did you think about the

1248
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:03,240
Lightning Thief?
I think that what's what's so

1249
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,520
good about this book is that it
starts off in such an innocent

1250
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:13,160
place, and as it goes on, it
really does become more serious.

1251
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,160
And rereading it again, I really
did forget so many of the

1252
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,440
details, but I remember why I
loved it.

1253
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,920
And it really is just so well
written.

1254
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,280
And the fact that as an adult,
I'm reading it and still

1255
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:30,040
enjoying it and still seeing the
humor in it and not and I and

1256
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,120
forgetting the twists and turns,
you know, I think that if I

1257
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,880
didn't remember that Luke double
crossed him, I wouldn't have

1258
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,320
been expecting that at all.
No.

1259
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,600
And I think that was a really
good thing that like, I think

1260
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,920
once you know that you can see
some of those signs and there

1261
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,120
are some like little tiny heavy
handedness.

1262
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,160
But like, it is a good thing
because also he waited until

1263
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:54,560
literally the last couple pages.
I love it when an author like,

1264
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,760
knows what they want to do and
they're just like setting up

1265
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,280
stuff, but like, they planted
that seed from the beginning

1266
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,000
from the Oracle.
It's really fun, right?

1267
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,360
I I think to echo what you're
saying, I forgot how much I

1268
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,520
enjoyed it and now I can't wait
to just like keep reading all of

1269
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,760
them.
If this gets a second season,

1270
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,440
hopefully maybe we can do this
again for the 2nd book and like

1271
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,720
keep going until.
I really want to read it, you

1272
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,000
know.
The thing was, is that I feel

1273
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,640
like I think I in my reading of
this, I read the first one and

1274
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,080
really liked it.
But then I think, I think I was

1275
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,320
in college at that point so I
was busy with school and I took

1276
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:35,360
a break but then like the last
two were coming out so I speed

1277
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:39,840
read the the next two the which
was a sea of monsters and Titans

1278
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,120
curse.
So I don't remember anything

1279
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,400
about those at all other than he
meets his brother and then he

1280
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,000
gets.
Spoilers.

1281
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,560
Pegasus or.
Something we always said I'm.

1282
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,680
Just kidding, but you don't know
who his brother is.

1283
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,560
I mean, if you've seen Sea of
Monsters, you might.

1284
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,480
Yes, Yeah.
And then I think he at some

1285
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,320
point gets a horse or, yeah, a
Pegasus or something like that.

1286
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,920
So that's all I remember.
Yeah, yeah, there's quite, yeah.

1287
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,760
I mean, I remember pieces like,
I know generally where the

1288
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,400
series is going, but like
everything from there, because

1289
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,640
this book is packed.
Like holy crap, like, I forgot

1290
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,720
how much time we were in camp
half blood and how many

1291
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,240
monsters.
Like, again, it's like episodic,

1292
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:20,720
right?
It's like fighting this monster,

1293
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,480
getting to this place, fighting
this monster, getting.

1294
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,480
It's just really packed.
And the fact that there's just a

1295
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,600
universe, more of books like, I
think he has completely used

1296
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,640
everything Greek.
Mythology he must have, I mean,

1297
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,760
at this point.
He used Krusty I'm.

1298
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,120
Telling you Krusty the Crab,
it's ridiculous.

1299
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,240
The fact is that he's done Roman
mythology, He's done Norse

1300
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,360
mythologies and Egyptian.
Yeah, Where's he going to go

1301
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,240
next?
Is it gonna go?

1302
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:48,360
I'm very excited.
So we just have the show from

1303
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:49,920
here on out.
Very exciting.

1304
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,160
I can't wait.
Yeah, if you were with us for

1305
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,320
this whole book reading thing,
we'll we'll do more books in the

1306
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:56,880
future.
Maybe not part subjective, maybe

1307
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,680
something else, who knows.
But this is our roots and we

1308
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:05,920
love doing it.
So see you, See you tomorrow.

1309
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:10,360
We have that bonus episode and
then shortly after that we have.

1310
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:12,960
We're getting into the show.
The show.

1311
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,600
It's time to go back to Disney
Plus.

1312
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,000
I can't wait to talk about it.
Same because we've seen some of

1313
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,320
it and that's all I'm saying.
Very excited.

1314
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,640
All right.
So till next day.

1315
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:24,800
Bye.
Goodbye.
