Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:43

I think we have to like short little chomp by just like that. We hit you. It doesn't surprise me one bit that they're freaking zerk from square one. This place is a magical, mystical, ever-melding contristical, you know? You never know where you're gonna be in it. Just to see how like even their surroundings are in a constant shift too. From the time. I feel like if it was ever a time to just follow one's heart and trust each other. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

It's a living architecture.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Mm-hmm. It grows as you grow. Dang, chapter six. Plunged into darkness. And it does like. I was getting like this, just like almost like an oppressive feel. Yeah. The tone is just so like. You know, uh, Riordan just loves to put us in those spots where it's like, what in the Rick Dick fickle are we gonna do? Yeah. So it doesn't surprise me that now by book four from the jump, we're already like, oh, there's no going back now. Onward.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

Skindle Ray.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

Skindle.

SPEAKER_03 1:56

Well, yeah, we are in the labyrinth, we meet the fate, the god with two-faced. The two-faced god, Janus. These minor gods. Seems like they've got some play.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

Yeah, they're kind of coming into the liquid room.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

It's kind of like neutralities where it's like if one side or the other can get them, then that can kind of like turn the tide of the impending war.

SPEAKER_01 2:19

Truth. Looks like uh Kronos is looking for recruits. Right. And you know, Hecate, some of these forgotten gods. Yeah. It's like why do they owe their allegiances to him?

SPEAKER_03 2:29

Yeah, what has Olympus done for them lately?

SPEAKER_01 2:33

Zeus, have you done for me lately? What has Zeus done for me? What has you done for me lately? Damn. Yeah, fabulous. And that's uh, because obviously, like the the major gods still have the power. And that was kind of interesting to see. Bumping into two gods and like ten pages up in this thing.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

Stacking them. Stacking them.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

Stack Jackson.

SPEAKER_03 3:00

Yeah, we got some one on one time with Hera.

SPEAKER_01 3:02

That's I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 3:03

Have we had one on one time with Hera yet? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

I think this might be our first time.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

Yeah, because they're all like, who are you?

SPEAKER_01 3:10

Yeah. Yeah, what if she's like the goddess of marriage and unity.

SPEAKER_03 3:16

Which is interesting that you know they didn't recognize her. Yeah. Just shows how in the background she is. Mm-hmm. Almost. You hear about her, but you don't really see her very much if you're totally.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

I think uh it was kind of mentioning how it was like the last time they had ever been in cahoots. At the vote. Yeah, at the vote.

SPEAKER_03 3:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:37

Mm-hmm. When she was 20 feet tall, just looming over in the mirror. Little baby parsoning. Oh, I got a lightning bolt. I got your lightning bolt. I'm not the lightning thief. Spoiler lit. So what yeah, because what we just dive in, we made it uh about a hundred feet before we were lost. Yeah. It just gets it right out of the way. Like we don't know nothing about nothing.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Right. Yeah, quite interesting. It seems like it's going through all almost like these different types of architectures.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

Um yeah, starting with that like red brick iron board. It's almost like they're in some kind of like a sewage system a la Jolio London Temp. Yeah. That's almost what I was picturing.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

They're deciding to follow the left wall. That's kind of Abeth's idea.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

It's wild, those like portals of just darkness. It's like the in the act of like down here.

SPEAKER_04 4:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

But yeah, like Annabeth was talking about following that left wall. There is reasoning around that to be like, okay, if we continually keep our hand on the left on the way back, we can always keep our hand on the right. Right.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

And I think the first course is very generous, the general direction.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

So but of course that goes to Blindo Crindo.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

Yeah, they're getting turned around, they get in a circular chamber with eight tunnels leading out.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 5:05

Um, they couldn't decide which way went back to camp.

SPEAKER_04 5:09

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

Um, but Abeth is really kind of like leading this on, like she's like, alright, I think this is the direction. Yeah, exactly. People are skeptical, but they're following.

SPEAKER_01 5:21

Yeah, she's got deductive reasoning on his side. And you know what? If I'm gonna trust anybody to guide me through the labyrinth, it's gonna be Abeth.

SPEAKER_04 5:29

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

But yeah, this tunnel they choose is like now pinching into this little squinching, like they're straight up crawling.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Tyson's in a hunch, Grover's hyperventilating, poor little goat boy. They so what maybe, and I mean he's what he's complaining about, like, oh Pan! Pan wouldn't be down here. Yeah, but you never know. I mean, the wild moles and groves, badges.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

I know the world is still a part of the wood.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

Mm-hmm. Yeah, exactly. There's wild in the deep.

SPEAKER_03 6:05

But yeah, it seems like he's not liking being in the narrow.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

And then it kind of what just like opens up into that mosaic tile room. Spend a lot of time in this mosaic tile room now.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Yeah, this frieze.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

The Fries. Gold Zeta Feast, anyone?

SPEAKER_03 6:21

Yeah. Shows all the different, yeah, we got Poseidon, Dionysus, Zeus, Hermes. But it seems like the picture's a little bit like uh.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

It's in the l yeah, exactly. Dionysus is not that handsome. Hermes has not got that good of a nose. I wonder what that whole like, oh, Zeus was partying with some satyrs.

SPEAKER_00 6:43

What is that looking like?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

You know, once you start partying with satyrs, it's hard to go back.

SPEAKER_03 6:50

It's hard to go back. But then Abeth kind of ascertains that this is Roman magics. She's saying about 2,000 years old. Yeah. Um, and they're like, well, there's no way because we're in Long Island. How could that be? Yeah. Which Abeth then explains like how the labyrinth is like this living, moving on. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

It's a patchwork of sorts. Yeah. It's just tacking new stuff on concepts.

SPEAKER_03 7:15

It's always expanding, always adding.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

Yeah. Um that kind of freaks Grover out a little bit, like, let's not talk about this technique life. So but plunging forward. It's good look.

SPEAKER_03 7:28

Towards the bad sounds. But Avet's reasoning is like, yeah, the architecture is getting older, so and we assume that Daedalus's office is going to be in the oldest part of the Bible.

SPEAKER_01 7:39

This is good reasoning.

SPEAKER_03 7:41

Since he is the creator. So they keep going. Back into like a channel. But it's like the tunnel. The maze truly is alive and almost like it seems like it's toying with them. Like switching them up, turning them around.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

So much so.

SPEAKER_03 7:55

Putting them into dead ends. This whole graffiti nine.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Yeah, that Maz rules.

SPEAKER_03 8:03

Yeah, Maz rules. Who's Maz?

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Yeah, who's ruling over us all of a sudden? But then what we're still kind of forging forward, we're all of a sudden in a wine cellar.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:14

That was kind of creepy, just with that notion of like the steps, the footsteps above you.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

Oh, yeah, and hearing like a bar, but it's like, oh, there's no way you can get up there.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Like, I guess we go from the wine cellar to just like walking underneath a bar. Yeah. And then Oh, and then we come upon our voice co-ops.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

The skeletor.

SPEAKER_01 8:37

Skeletal. We gotta get some skeletal relatives, guys. Skeletal relatives, man. It's a natural relative.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

And yeah, he's dressed up in like this white uniform like a milkman. He's even got like the almost like a milk crate with bottles in it next to him.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Wild to think that he because what Abeth was saying, like he maybe wandered in here by mistake.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

Right. And how people have done that, they've wandered in here, how it's been used, like Cretans used to send people in there as human sacrifices.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Cretans on Crete. Cretans. Oh my gosh. Poor milkman. They're just like, I'm on my way.

SPEAKER_02 9:12

This kind of looks like a cool little side quest. Let me check it out real quick. No. Don't we get out of it?

SPEAKER_00 9:19

Anyone?

SPEAKER_02 9:20

Milk anyone?

SPEAKER_00 9:23

I've drank all my milk. I'm nothing left. Drink all my milk.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

Oh my gosh. Yeah, what Grover's talking about, it kind of smells like monsters down there a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 9:33

Tyson agrees.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

Mm-hmm. But Underground kind of still smells like monsters, milkmen dead. You know, it's the musty musty. But they just gotta keep plunging on forward.

SPEAKER_03 9:46

Yeah, they keep going through.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

And then what it kind of like turns them back into this mosaic room again, it's like they just made a circular.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

Except now someone's dead.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

Somebody's there, they ain't alone no milk.

SPEAKER_03 9:57

This is where we get Mr. Mr. James.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

That's wild, that concept of like head to head, but like almost looking over each shoulder.

SPEAKER_03 10:06

Yeah, exactly. Like a hammerhead shock. It's like look it's like the body is face on, but like two sides of the head looking.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 10:15

That's wild. Janus. Decisions.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

Yeah, decisions. Crossroads.

SPEAKER_03 10:19

Crossroads, anyone? Doors. Doors.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Janus, man. Yeah, and it's wild. So many choices to me.

SPEAKER_03 10:25

Wasn't that uh like Hikate's nine? Isn't she like goddess of yeah, like maybe crossroads? Crossroads. Yeah. Anyways. So yeah, he's their Janus. He looks like a door man.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Yeah, that's kind of and that makes sense though, because he's the you know, Mr. Doors. Yeah. Double wide head, that little hat he's got somehow situated between both heads. That's funny.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

But they know Abet's name.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Yeah, which is interesting.

SPEAKER_03 10:58

So this guy's got blocked.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

He knows all of them. These gods know everything about these demi blue.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

That whole left face, right face thing was pretty fun.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:06

Trying to follow, like, who's left face?

SPEAKER_01 11:09

Yeah, exactly. I feel like we took a natural nine to it, just like right. Deeper right face. Deeper right face.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

Kind of like a little higher left face.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

But yeah, they're like it's funny how they kind of nine each other back and forth a little bit too.

SPEAKER_03 11:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:25

Right off.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

But essentially they're kind of trying to get them, they're both trying to get her to walk through their respective doors because there's doors behind them.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

Each one's very persistent that their door is the correct. She wants Annabeth to choose, yeah. Which is nine. That kind of reminds me of the Labyrinth. That little classic, the two doors.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Oh, yes, yes, uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

This is a classic nine we see.

SPEAKER_03 11:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

Yeah, but they got the silver key, we're kind of just nine and they're oh, they kind of realize like the doorway behind them has now disappeared. So that's not gonna work.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

So it's like they can only go forward for me.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

Mm-hmm. And they're saying straight up, like, one probably goes where you wish, the other leads to certain death, and that's the nine to five.

SPEAKER_04 12:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

And cuts like a knife, I mean it. And it's harsh how he was saying, like, you know, how like one choice can be life or death.

SPEAKER_03 12:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Choices, man. Everybody got choices.

SPEAKER_03 12:29

We got choices, but yeah, they're both really pushing. Definitely left face is trying to push. Left face seems pretty pushy. Come on, you gotta choose, hurry up, choose. Yeah, yeah. Right face is like, don't listen to him, just come with me. Really trying to like empower her, it seems. This is what you wanted.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

Um, they're saying, We know you, we know you're indecisive, you gotta choose sooner or later. And that's when Percy's like, oh, seems like they're talking about more than just these doors, right now.

SPEAKER_01 12:57

Yeah, exactly. They know something deep about you, Abeth. What is it?

SPEAKER_03 13:00

And even Abeth, like, she goes white in the face and is like, I can't.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Yeah, and that's when Percy's trying to stand up for Yeah, he's like, Who are you, Rickle Dickle?

SPEAKER_03 13:10

And that's when they're like, best friend, worst enemy. Um Janus.

SPEAKER_00 13:16

Um beginnings.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Endings. That's wild, man. Janus. It's a cool concept, man.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

So yeah, they're like, yo, we're gonna come for you, Perseus, but right now it's abeth's turn.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

It's like, dang, how are we gonna put this on A Beth?

SPEAKER_03 13:40

They're really pushing her, and then that's when Pearce remembers the prophecy. The prophecy. Yeah, child of the penis. Whoa, so what is this whole life and death nuts?

SPEAKER_01 13:50

Yeah, exactly. It's so heavy. Yeah. And she's then about to choose, like, uh, and then looks like we got uh Hera coming in. What? Just a blinding light.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:02

Just that was she came in at the right time at the right night. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:07

Kind of saved their asses.

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Yeah. What hair's got this chocolate braided gold ribbon hair?

SPEAKER_03 14:14

Dude, hair's hot.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Oh, no doubt.

SPEAKER_03 14:16

Simple white dress.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

Kind of looking like a hot mom almost. That dress is cool, how it shimmers.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

Oil on water.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

Oil on water, me.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

And what? She's just jiving Janice right from the jump, it looks like. What are you up to trouble again? And uh it looks like they just Janice is fighting with himself. Self-toil. We all go through it. Yeah. And uh she pretty much tells him, like, yo, Janice, this is not your time. Yeah. You we all know Annabeth will choose, but you're jumping the gun, boy.

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Yeah. So here's the choice I'm giving you.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

Leave these heroes to me, or I shall turn you into a doll.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

Just like Labyrinth. And bust you right in.

SPEAKER_03 15:03

And they're kind of going back and forth. Left face seems to be kind of intrigued by the idea. Whereas right face is like, shut up, dude.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

Yeah, calm thy nerve.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

But yeah, they're going back and forth. She pretty much shoes them off, big gone.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Be gone now.

SPEAKER_03 15:18

And off they skitter scatter away, disappear into the air. Oh, yeah, they turn that, put that key into the air, and then just Yeah, that would be a cool little portal. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

Portal key. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:34

But leave her alone with Hera. Oh. She turns towards them and they're, you know, she's definitely.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

They're kind of intimidated by her at first.

SPEAKER_03 15:44

We know that she's just very like.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

Yeah, because she did say, like, leave these heroes to me. Yeah. Which could go bad. But then, bada bling, you must be hungry. Right. She kind of lightens the mood with some sandwiches. Sandwiches. Lemonite. That's cool that that fountain that was in there just starts flowing. It lightens the whole vibration.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

And then they ask who she is, and she says, Hair, Queen of Heaven.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

Queen of Heaven.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

That's quite the title.

SPEAKER_03 16:15

Then we get the call back to when they'd first seen her before at the Council of the Gods. Um, but Perse hadn't been paying much attention.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

Yeah. Says what? I didn't remember her looking so normal.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

Right. Because last time she's in her 20 foot tall version.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

But now she's kind of just looking like a regular mom.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Hot mom.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Hot mom vibes? Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

Sandwiches, lemonade?

SPEAKER_01 16:36

Pour me one code.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Telling Grover to use his napkin that evening.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Offering Tyson some more peanut butter sandwiches. It's so beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 16:46

It is. And so yeah, Abh's like, what are you doing in the labyrinth? Um, she kind of like cleans up Annabeth's hair with the flick of her finger.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

That was a blindo trindo.

SPEAKER_03 16:59

She's like, I came to see you. So we really are nine and on Abeth.

SPEAKER_01 17:03

Yeah, everybody wants to talk to Abeth now. She's hot on.

SPEAKER_03 17:07

Um, but yeah, so they're all eating.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Yeah, and it's like, but usually when gods show up, it's not out of the goodness of their heart, it's because they want something. So what are you looking for?

SPEAKER_03 17:18

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

But yeah, we're all just chilling, feasting. We're not gonna deny turkey sandwiches, not Neva when you're a demibled.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

But Abeth says, yeah, like I didn't think you liked heroes. Yeah. So what are you doing here?

SPEAKER_03 17:31

Like, oh, was it that whole thing with Hercules? I got so much bad press over one bad disagreement.

SPEAKER_01 17:38

I was like, didn't you try to kill him many times? Multiple times, multiple times, multiple attempts.

SPEAKER_02 17:45

She's like, Oh, I walked into the bridge.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Yeah. And Zeus and her go into marriage counseling. That's some funny nuns right there. And then that last incident. Yes. And Percy just goes off and cuts it like a knife, like, oh, that time where he sired Thalia crying.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

Could you have put it any other way?

SPEAKER_01 18:06

The siren.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

The siren.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

He calls himself the siren.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Yeah, it looks like she does turn on him pretty aggressively. It's like, yeah, and she does say right there, like, Percy, stand down. I did vote for you to live at Winter Sosis. Make me not regret that.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

Right.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Now. But then she's like, I'm here to talk to Abat though.

SPEAKER_03 18:34

Right. And no ill will against you.

SPEAKER_01 18:38

So this choice though. Uh-huh. Yeah. The minor gods.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

Why was Janice trying to bother them? Yeah, and they're so minor gods.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

Yeah, it's like they're frustrated. And right now they're a little bit unstable with, you know, the support and the rise of Hera's father. Yes. Which is interesting to think. So does that mean Kronos is Zeus's dad and Hera's dad? Yes, they are siblings. We've got a little in Bredicles. Incestual. Incestual restrictions.

SPEAKER_03 19:09

Which I mean, technically, uh that um like Abeth and Perse are cousins.

SPEAKER_01 19:17

There's power in the blood.

SPEAKER_03 19:19

Yeah, Poseidon and uh Athena are siblings. Because all twelve of the main gods were all born of Pranus.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

Well, I thought uh Athena was born of Zeus, eh?

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Oh, was she like born of his mind, right?

SPEAKER_01 19:36

Oh, so it's a little like uh it's almost like a gidding with your yeah, your niece. Gail the snail?

SPEAKER_02 19:43

Gail the snail, anyone?

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Snail the rail dizzy. Oh right, Zindle Rindle. Percy's like Davito. He's like Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:01

Um but yeah, so Kronos, Hera's death, and yeah, just these minor gods are definitely um they can be swayed.

SPEAKER_01 20:11

We have to watch them. Yep, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

She names up Janus, Hecate, Morpheus. And then that's when Percy's like, oh, that's where Dionysus swayed.

SPEAKER_01 20:22

Yeah, and she does confirm that, like, yeah, in times of trouble, you gotta kind of rally the troops a little bit. They ought to be swayed. But it's interesting, she's what? I'm the goddess of marriage. And uh she's used to perseverance, so that she has like this special care for this quest that they're on.

SPEAKER_03 20:42

Right. You have to keep your goals in mind. So, what are your goals? Like to keep my family, the Olympians, together. Of course.

SPEAKER_01 20:52

That's so cute.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

Keep the family.

SPEAKER_03 20:55

And at the moment, that's by helping you. Oh, yeah. She's you gods are of course usually not allowed to interfere in quests, but Hera is, you know, she's able to squink it from Zeus every night. A little squonk, squonk. So that's when she's like, all right, this wish.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

I mean, this one wish. One wish. One wish.

SPEAKER_03 21:15

And then that's when she's like, before you ask, well, let me like tell you about what you should wish for. I know you're looking for Daedalus. Um, this labyrinth is a mystery to all of us, but you should go basically go talk to Hephaestus because you know, like when Daedalus was alive, Hephaestus loved him because they're both Tinkerers.

SPEAKER_01 21:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

So if anyone knows where Daedalus like ended up, it would be Hephaestus.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

He was his favorite mortal. Yes. The Tinkerist.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

So, Abit's like, how do we get there? That was kind of a dumb move. That's my wish. That's my wish. I want a way to navigate the land.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

What the most vague day rundan?

SPEAKER_03 21:55

Which is like, so I I would expect that from purse, but not even. Expect Aba to be like, hmm, how do I word this to get exactly what I need? She's just like, hmm. She was just my word, yeah. I want a way to navigate the labyrinth.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

Kara's like, alright, fine, but you already got that girl.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

So Percy knows the answer, she says. Which is interesting. I was like, what? Percy knows it's just like quank.

SPEAKER_03 22:24

Quink.

SPEAKER_01 22:25

Oh, and then just like that, she's like getting something and having the wits to use it. Those are two different things. So she kind of, yeah. She's kind of cutting it like a little bit of a knife, but you know, I expect nothing less from the goods. Yeah. It's always a loaded gift. There's always a little ninny on the dinny.

SPEAKER_03 22:44

Right. And that's when the room rumbles.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Looks like Zeus is watching this whole thing on his little tube.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

Yeah. So she's got to go back, but she's like, yo, look, look for Ephesus.

SPEAKER_01 22:55

Speak for Ephesus.

SPEAKER_03 22:56

You gotta pass through the ranch, I'm at. Oh the ranching? Keep going.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:00

Um use all the means at your disposal, however common they may seem.

SPEAKER_01 23:05

Yeah, common. Just like you gotta have street smarts in the labyrinth. You just gotta jump and jive. It almost makes me think like the labyrinth would be like a cool place. If as long as you had a kill, you know, like a safety cord.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

Right.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

To go like on a little party or something. You know, you get all your friends together, you're just bopping around, you bring a speaker. You're just hanging out.

SPEAKER_03 23:28

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

Because there's always something new in the labyrinth.

SPEAKER_03 23:31

Exactly. But yeah, that's when she kind of like melts this whole these two doors. Um and pretty much reveals that they're two corridors open and dark.

SPEAKER_01 23:47

Which says to Abeth, like, you know, that day of choice. Yeah. Yeah, interesting. It's been postponed, but Janice will take you. You must make your decision. Haha. Bye. Bye. Oh. It's like, oh god. And then even the sandwiches disappear. That's kind of funny. The fountain goes twinkle drinkle.

SPEAKER_03 24:06

I know.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

So everything dims out. And then Abh is pissed. Like, what? Bring us sandwiches and just leave us on the hook.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

Make a wish. And then oops.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

They're both bumming about the sandwiches too, or at least Tyson is.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

Tyson, Grover.

SPEAKER_01 24:25

Grover does remind us like Percy's supposed to know something. Right. Percy says, no, I don't know Jack Diddley, really, though. But what? Abeth's just like all we can do is push on. It's almost like it was all a drink.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

Yeah. It was all a drink. So they're trying to decide which one to go through, and that's when Tyson and Grover are both like, left one.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:50

And they're like, what? Why the left one? Because and then they're like, there's this growling coming out. Someone's coming towards us from the right.

SPEAKER_01 24:57

I wonder if they can both like smell it.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

Yeah. In a hurry.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 25:02

So it's like, oh, rapidly approaching scent.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Yeah, exactly. Some monster. And just like that, zerp on to the next. I feel like this one's gonna be like a series of short stories almost. Because all of a sudden, two gods and yeah, just even ten pages. Chapter six. We're keeping it liquid though. We're bouncing around. I wonder, yeah, it's just so much like I I really have no idea what to expect. We know we got something about a ranch. We know we gotta think out he feth it. Maybe it's but it's not like we know how to get to a fethith. Right. Apparently Percy does, but he's got amnesia.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Got amnesia.

SPEAKER_01 25:39

Yeah. Dude, classic Rick, just page ten is man. Yeah. I remember by the time I was here, I was just chewing. Because it's a little bit thicker. I haven't looked at the pages, but it's got some girth to it. This one does.

SPEAKER_03 25:53

Got some regirth.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

The battle.

SPEAKER_02 25:57

The book of Labyrinthians.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

Mm-hmm. Labyrinthian battles. But yeah. Happy to be back in it. We just plunge forward. Nice little force them. We got hope on our side, and we know Hare is looking out for us. So it's good to have goats in your corner. Right. You know. Always.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:17

The goats forever be in our corners.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

The gods forever be in your favor.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

SPEAKER_01 26:40

Yeah, I think maybe we've seen his Grunkle Grink like at the at the gathering, but I don't know if we've actually interacted with Hefhe. But we'll find him.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

SPEAKER_01 26:53
