140: Swimmy Jackson and the Stolen Cup ft. Demigod Debut Podcast (CHALICE OF THE GODS Ch 13-18)

Manasa attempts to redeem herself post-milk debacle. She stands by her original theory. We discuss how this book sounds a lot younger in tone, and in themes. Percy and Grover continue their search for Gale throughout perfume departments, and Annabeth arrives to help them out and provide the brain cell. They find Gale, who is being metaphorically milked for knowledge, and fight some naiads to try and save Gale. We discuss if it's cool to yell out your move before executing it.

We are very sleep deprived in this one, so topics somehow include the recession, the U.S. education system, and...milk? After getting Hecuba home, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover turn to finding Gale. We learn some more about Hecate's magic school and Sally's potential connection to it. Percy and Grover have a nice bonding moment, and Grover almost dies via squirrels. They go on the hunt for Gale in perfume stores. Manasa thinks they're literally milking Gale. Milk is now triggering for Manasa after this episode. If you're reading this, please comment milk on this episode to further harass her! Also make sure you stay for the last 5 minutes of this one.

We start off this episode by being really confused about the timeline, thanks to some great points from listeners re: Percy's comments about Leo. Rick definitely doesn't know his own timeline. In these chapters, the gang is on the hunt for Hecuba this week, who is having a grand old time terrorizing Greek businesses. They fight undead warriors and Percy somehow travels through space and time to Troy. There's a really sweet conversation about grief and loss with Hecuba. She's forming a blended family with Nope. Also, there are three pee counts in this episode!

Grover... you've really done it this time. We return to our roots, aka, making fun of Grover. Also Erin has a new microphone and it becomes her whole personality. Grover explodes the house because he has no self control, and the pets escape. If Manasa was Percy, she'd have to go on a lot of walks. Mrs. O'Leary shows up (we all missed her very much) and Percy randomly adopts a puppy. Then, for some reason, Chiron is at Percy's school. Also, Percy still has to go to school. We ask the important questions: is Chiron poor? Is camp poor? Is Chiron still a zaddy?

Today's episode is all about pet ownership. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover enter their domestic pet-sitting era at Hecate's mansion, and last almost a whole day before chaos breaks out. Erin thinks that Hecate is actually a very good dog (and polecat) mom. The trio learns that walking a polecat and a hellhound is not for the faint of heart. Manasa deep dives on Hecate, Hecuba, and Gale, and we get a refresher on the iconic myth of Gale and the sex lives of weasels (sorry, polecats!). Percy comes back to the mansion after school to find that it's a mess. Let the shenanigans begin...

WE’RE BAAAAAACK! This week we’re talking all things Wrath of the Triple Goddess, but first, we have some yapping to do. We discuss all the new casting announcements for the show, and the TSATS sequel. Erin and Manasa realize they are Mark and Rick. Then we dive into the chapters and learn the Percy is a fall girlie. Is Annabeth a natural people person? WTF is a pumpkin spice burrito?? Why does Rick make so many pee jokes? And what kind of novels is Sally writing?? We’re asking all the important questions here. We wrap up by checking in on our bingos!!

This week, we're predicting the plot of Wrath of the Triple Goddess (out September 23, 2024!!!). But of course, we can't do things normally, because we're Camp Half-Pod. We turn our predictions into a competitive BINGO game, and you can play along and make your own BINGO sheet if you want! This is the free BINGO generator we used: https://myfreebingocards.com/bingo-card-generator
We then wrap up the episode with some more audio messages and a discussion of what's next.

We are finally caught up on all PJO-universe books! Round of applause for Camp Half-Pod. This week, we are discussing the final chapters of Chalice of the Gods. Percy completes his quest, and we learn what clotted cream is (it’s a big day for all of us). The book wraps up nicely with some Sally, Paul, and Annabeth time. We wonder how Poseidon calls Percy. It reminds us of The Horse (RIP). We give our final thoughts on this book, read some theories and questions you all have sent us, and then talk about what’s next for Camp Half-Pod!

This week we are joined by our friend Ishanie! Ishanie, long time Percy Jackson fan and person who knew us in high school, gets to hear us get low key emotional about growing old. Percy faces Geras, the god of old age (our predictions were right!!). We come down firmly against loin cloths. Manasa wishes Geras wore a cute old man sweater. Erin reads multiple passages from the book because these chapters are deep. Percy gives old age a nice hug, and then heads up to Olympus to help out our guy Ganymede. We all are very offended by Percy’s take on brunch. Thanks to Ishanie for joining us!!

This one starts off strong, with Percy enchanting a bunch of snakes with a rainbow (the snakes say gay rights!). They complete their quest for Iris, and in exchange learn about a mysterious Gary (not the snail), who has likely stolen the cup. Percy gives relationship advice to Grover. Erin still thinks Grover is a bad boyfriend. Sally announces her pregnancy to Percy, and we come down hard against gender reveals. Percy makes sure we all know that he is a Good and Responsible Boy. He's also not very good at research. We make some strong predictions at the end of this episode, and it will be embarrassing if we're wrong.
