a proposition you'd like me to read to you. I'd
love to, but first listen to this. Over the years,
I've been damn hell lucky to see my fair Sheriff
true alchemy. By definition, alchemy this quote when a person
(00:25):
creates something through a seemingly magical process. And my dear
Tator Totts and Tonka toys, Like I said, I've been
witnessed to the stuff on several occasions. Not too long ago,
the idea hit me. What if I brought together the
right creative people and asked them to make shift up
based on my own twisted, demented ideas. Then I could
offer it as a podcast of this seemingly magical process
(00:47):
and I could call it alchemy. You turtleneck wearing freak store,
shut it or lose it. Well, after months of title tankering,

years to learn how to pronounce his name. Doug Bam
one of your oldest friends. Last week, a runaway train
blaze for fifty miles with non functioning breaks before finally
being brought to a stop. We take you now aboard,
(02:41):
where the conductor and his team try everything while also
having to keep passengers calm oh man, oh man. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
It's not the coal. It's not the electricity. It's not
any gears. I don't know what buss bus. It could
be all of our negative thoughts here we go. Shut up.
(03:07):
Let's all just okay, just let's just just just think,
BUSTI just think positive. I've been thinking positive since we
first brought this up. Puppies macaroni and cheese, and people
don't think puppies is a happy thought. I think of it.
It's responsibility. I've gotta dog at home. We're sure it's
not the coal. I'm positive it's not the coal. Okay,
we checked the coal several times. I keep feeding the
(03:30):
engine coal coming back. Those just making the train go,
and you feed of the coal. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Actually, actually,

look around. Huht so fast, so fast, it's nice. Pick
(03:55):
a point on the horizon and focus on it. Okay, okay, okay, okay,

hopefully to the same spot. Okay, look up, okay, okay,

something out of my backpack. It's up here. It is okay, okay,
(05:29):
now this is chicken soup for your soul. You can
pick any one of these stories. Just just pick one

based on what I'm looking at, based on the number.
How about you just tell me when to stop. Stop.
(05:49):
He didn't have to try anymore, he just was. I mean,
it's a really good start, but honestly, I wanted to
hear a whole story. I gave you twenty. Just stop, Alice.

you bet you. I'm gonna just walk up and talk
to the Hey, listen. Uh. They all think it's fine.
(07:18):
They were doing fifty miles an hour, but I've noticed
we haven't stopped in fifty miles. That's the part that
I was worried at, Bob Richard turning a bang up job.
But everyone stay positive, rightsive focusing on a tree, Baks.
I gotta check the brakes one more time, Ponies, Ponies
(07:44):
to assume the brakes don't actually work. We don't know
what we have. Yeah, I just tried them. Okay, they work.
They don't work. They don't. Was that a question? Didn't
we try to break? I asked, trying to bright it.
I don't know what. Yeah, yeah, yeah after fifty usually
stopped every couple of months. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's the brakes. Okay, yeah,
(08:05):
all should I tell him close our eyes and look
at something to tell one see how it goes, because
if they're fine with it, maybe you all will calm
down a little. You're making me nervous. Man, um, my dad,
(08:27):
you don't have their tickets? Yes, I have tickets for
myself and my lovely daughter daughter. Yeah right? Uh? How
long you and the daughter known each other? He's two
months and two months? Yes, wonderful months. It's been really
fun our father daughter relationship. May December. I see she's
(08:49):
a funny birthday and I'm alright, Capricorn the goat. You
do have tickets? Yes? Do? There's somewhere in my pants, Daddy,
get the ticket. Okay. My daughter is rifling through my
pockets trying to find those tickets. Right. Are they watching this?
Not at all? We like it. We enjoy that we
(09:11):
have a big family. We invite all our family over
for fun. Right, that's right. I have a question for
you too. Okay, Uh, you probably noticed that the train
hasn't made A couple of stops were kind of blew
right past. We thought that was our stop, was what
it was, But then we were like, fuck it, that's right.
(09:34):
We're having such a good time and trip right, just
fun and and the thing. And there's plenty of food up,
some nice water I heard, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So
you'd be okay if we didn't stop yet for a while.
I'm fine with that. So you're saying we're not stopping
(09:54):
in Tyson, just a question, okay, because we got on
in Dylan and we're going to Tyson. It's very popular.
Those are destinations today. All right, Well listen, I'll let
you know any progress on Tyson. Yeah, and we'll let
you know as soon as we find our tickets. She's
making progress right there. Alright, Hey, guys, guys, guys, what
(10:19):
the hell? I have one more idea? Okay, anything? What
if we all just resign ourselves to death? To death?
Shut up, Angela, No, no, no, neat Tippy, I forgive
you great, great what for what for telling me to
shut up? Look, I've had a good run. I don't
(10:42):
know about you, guys. I've had okay, run, I've had
okay run. How this is it? It's I don't see
getting better than this, honestly, Angela. Yeah, I'm divorced. I
got it. I'm gonna put myself in the train to
stop it. That's not gonna worry. I'm gonna get in
and I'm gonna stop. That's not gonna work. It is
running right over hit a homeless guy a day. We
know what that's like. Yeah, but wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
(11:03):
but what if two of us went out, maybe three
or four, five of us? Come on, people, that's positive thinking.
If we're resigning to die any wasted, why wouldn't we
Let's do that. Let's do that. Let's do that. Let's
do that. You're putting colon. I gotta keep feeding the engine.
You don't. We're trying to slow down. Eventually we're reviving
West Virginia. Okay, okay, alright, I'll just take a second
(11:27):
and really just come into ourselves before we make this decision.
Because this is a big decision. Okay, I'm in. So
the five of you were gonna jump, and you're coming
with cos gotta stay behind and try to stop. No, no, no, no, no, no,
you're cooking positive things. So we leave no one here
people in the back passengers. That's true. He is the
(11:51):
only union line employee I really am. I mean, you
got got if you're gonna stick together, I feel I
should let the pass yours know what happened. Should it
not stop? Let's write a note. Then, let's write a note. Yeah,
you know what. Let's spit ball some ideas about what
you'd be in the note. Okay, Frank, you have to
have an idea. Coal is beautiful, that's not it is.
(12:14):
That's helpful. But okay, let's start there. We'll start there.
I'm writing this Downal is beautiful and that we sacrificed ourselves,
our lives so other people could live. Do we want
to put death in there? Okay, maybe not, but we're
gonna die right Yeah, good point, good point. Uh, let's
uh to all the people. We are the United People's
(12:34):
Front of train operators. This message goes out to to
all oppressed train operators. Yeah, people, sounds, but it was
just breaks didn't work. Did we try the breaks? Did
we try to did we try to break? Did we
try hold on? Honestly, the more you are asking me
(12:55):
that question, the more makes you think maybe I have
not break. So just cap three miles we've gone, and
just we're gonna try the break now. Well I thought
I've tried them. But then everyone saying yeah, yeah, well cheap.
In mind, he uses the brakes all day every day.
He might have forgotten. Sometimes a small trivial part of
(13:16):
your life gets forgotten. When we passed one of our stops,
maybe it would have come up in as it normally
does to slow this. Yeah, that's a good point. That's
a good point. So probably there's no reason to check him. Now.
They must not work. That's probably they don't work. Okay, good,
you know what, they's just stop coming up. Let's try him. Okay,
(13:38):
but now I don't know he's now. I kind of
like the idea of all the five of you jumping out. Okay,
I'm gonna leave it up to you guys to vote.
Do you want to me to try the breaks or
do you want to jump up from the train. Let's
start here, Frank, jump from the train. Kay's not an
easy decision. Kitten's birthday cake. Uh yeah, we should we
(13:58):
should jump from the train up Okay, okay, uh uh solidarity,
Let's jump let's jump um um um um um um ump. Okay,
jump ump, you get a vote. I'd like to just
be clear you're gonna stack your bodies because I think
you'll have a better impact if all five get hited
the same. That's what I was thinking. One of those
(14:19):
times seems like a way. Let's try both first. Let's
do one of the time first. Can I see just
how you're gonna link up? Probably belt belt? Okay, okay,
I just want to say, I have my hand on
the break. Don't try it already We're tried it. Then
you just don't do it. We already have a plan. Okay, okay,
why would you This is the last time, really we
(14:39):
should even talk about approaching Tyson? Next up, we gotta go.
We gotta go now, we gotta go now. I should
be in the front since I'm the biggest person here. Okay,
that's six huge, six three sir, and that's very big
of you. Excuse me, sir, excuse me. You look like
you're doing so well. No, no, I we missed. I stop.
(15:00):
I'm supposed to be I'm supposed to be talking to
my wife. I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor on the train.
I'm a doctor, does this? Gentleman? Is he okay? I
am a doctor on the train? Is he okay? Okay?
I am a doctor? No, I'm okay. Are you sure
we missed my stop? Let's put the sand under anesthetics.
We got to go to surgery now, nurse, okay, let's
(15:21):
get the auction here. Everyone back up or crowd around.
A dealer's choice. I'm sorry, do you just see you're
a doctor? I am wow, a doctor on a train? Wait? Wait,
what's going on here? How are you? I'm pretty great?
You took your hand out of my pocket. I've always
went in to be around a doctor on a train. Seriously,
(15:42):
my daughter is don't mind her, don't mind my dad.
I'm not gonna mind either of you. You know what?
This guy can wait? How about a surgery on YouTube?
Would you like? I've had this crazy tennis elbow for years.
I can remove that. I've alway have been pro bono. Okay,
(16:02):
so well, good you first, and we'll just open up
the elbow real quick. Nurse oxygen please, mom, Mom, I
had this this weird thought that you didn't like me.
I don't love you, I've never loved you, But do
you like me? I mean sometimes you make me laugh.
That's neat every once in a while, but mostly mostly
(16:26):
I wish I wish it was just me M dignot
the bone. But here's twenty bucks. Yeah, okay, thank you,
and you're good to go. Oh my gosh, it was
so fast. Elbow is gone. It's just gonna kinda lay limp.
But you'll still have feeling great. I love feelings. I
think we just passed Tyson. What that's my stuff? The
(16:48):
five bodies lying up? Everybody, excuse me, everybody, it was
just gay I work. I'm the break conductor. Give it up.
Here's the deal. You're gonna sing. Yes, I'm here to
sing for you. I didn't know if he was or not.
But before the song, I gotta tell you something. Can
(17:09):
I question a question? Please? Yes? Do you have there's
a there's a ginger rail on the train. Only nice water,
nice water, okay, wearing a little bit of trouble, A
little bit of trouble. You wait. I wanted to get
(17:29):
my message out first. Can you quantify little um? At
least some people will die before this train stops. I
just got rid of my elbow. I can't die. Oh no,
it's probably not gonna be you And yes, sir, you're right.
(17:51):
It's kind of like one of those murder mysteries. So
if we figure it out, we don't die. Yes, okay, good, Okay,
I did it. The doctor are on the train. I
killed two people in Dylan. I did it. I did it?
Really did Oh? God, I nic was gonna come at Okay,
I did it. Okay, I'm not you're saying this and
(18:13):
we need volunteers. Five of us up are gonna jump
in front of this train to make sure it stops.
Does anybody else want to sacrifice their life for the
greater good of the rest of the cars? You want
more people to die, that's well, yes, to save a
greater number of people. You're definitely dying. Yeah, so if
we're pretty close to death, everybody really should pitch in.
It's up to you. Yeah, I'm not gonna judge. If
(18:34):
you're super depressed, maybe you want to help out the
rest of us. The depression is normal though, Yeah it is,
but it's not gonna pass. It's true. Wit. Is it
possible to jump out of the front of the train
and somehow get in front of the train? Yes, yes,
a break climb out you climb out onto the front.
But you've been You brought up another interesting question, if
(18:55):
you don't mind, please, yeah, I want If the trains
in trouble, I'm sensing yes, why don't we just try
to jump out of the train. Why are we staying inside?
God for you? Alright, guys, they didn't buy any of
my crap in there. You're still good, col col All right,
(19:22):
here we go. You know, I know we said belt belt.
I'm just gonna go out there first. If I can't
do it, we'll just do it one at a time.
Go go, go, go go go. All right, I'm going
to next, guys, I'm going next. You wait, I think
we need to reassess. Oh no, you know we had
the numbers at five, but now it's not looking good.
(19:44):
I'm not jumping though. There's no way was the compression
of five body. I'm gonna try the breaks. That one
guy is just hanging on by the way, somebody get
his fingers off. I got it, I got it, I
got it. There there was a ring shoot. I'm gonna
try the brakes. I'm gonna try the brakes. Try there,
(20:18):
and the train successfully came to a stop. I didn't
adventure All those people were on Oh my God court
(20:40):
as obsession, and the novelist who penned a book entitled
How to Murder Your Husband now stands trial on charges
of murdering her husband, president of the prosecuting attorney, defense attorney,
the judge, and several witnesses for either side. I mean
(21:03):
that was just Tuesday, though, you know what I mean,

same onich or not, because it's on Tuesday. Ladies and gentlemen,
we're back from recess. Get it on Tuesday morning. It
doesn't matter to give you I'm sorry, your honor, thank you.
(21:25):
Sometimes all it takes is a woman to say something.
You know, I believe that. I believe Chapter five in
my book says something. I've read it. Your on our objection,
you're flirting with the who are you looking? And who
are you again? I am the prosecuting attorneys and what
does that mean? Specifically? But specifically I have built a
(21:48):
case against this woman and have been arguing it all morning.
Yet you've not heard any of my most subjection, Your honor,
I thought you did a lovely job of her hearing,
as it was suggested you hadn't no need to fight
over me. Well, I'm your attorney, so I'm going to
fight a little bit for me, Yes, exactly. Anyways, objection okay,
over sustained? Allow it? Okay? Now where were we? So? Anyway,
(22:15):
if you get this same, excuse me. Jury members jury
number three three, injury member number I have nothing to
do with that juror. He keeps talking to me and
I keep shishing them. You're both in the jury box.
I have a name, your own. Do you want to
say it out loud? Yeah? You want everybody to know
because it is your right to remain anonymous. Just a
(22:36):
number until this is over. Colton Shepherd, Okay, this is
my name. What are you doing, Colden Shepherd? It is okay,
Colton Shepherd. That's a that's a good name for a book.
I object he used my name. Just now, objection your honor.
I don't think members of the jury are allowed to
(22:56):
sust Okay, alright, alright, that's good. Serious here, you were
stand accused of murdering your husband. Correct. I don't want
I don't only feel that I didn't. Yeah, I didn't
do it. I mean I wrote a book about how
you could do it. Believably and get away with it.
But that doesn't mean I did it, your honor. I'd
(23:16):
like to conduct this cross examination from the stand. Please
please help yourself well. The state calls to the stand,
Monique Devereaux. Okay, okay, excuse me, gentlemen, excuse me. It's
a little sachet. Is that addresser? Is that address? I
put your hand on the bible. Please, that's you? Rather him?
(23:38):
Thank you and repeat after me. I solemnly. She's leaving
out words, your honor, she's she's just getting them. Swear
to tell the truth the things to tell the truth,
(24:00):
the whole truth, the whole truth, the whole as much
as you can remember, or as much as I can
remember of the truth that may or may not be
the hold great, this looks good. Okay, Miss Devereaux, you
are I'm over here, Yes, I'm sorry. I was pacing
around the room for dramatic effects, of course, as is
(24:22):
my right attorney. I can't see Miss Devorux you are.
I'm told a very attractive woman. Um who told you?
Who told me? Who told you? Mr? Deeau? I'm over here,
(24:43):
I know where you are. I'm sorry, I'm just used
to I know where you are. I'm locating you via
I'm right here. I'm blowing into your ear. Okay, I
can feel that. Yes, all my senses are heightened. Miss Devereaux. Uh,
Mr objection. It feels like the prosecution is trying to
(25:04):
gain sympathy with the jury by making it crystal clear
that he is in fact blind. Yeah, I agree with that,
get it. I can't see. I'm gonna have to overrule that.
Does that mean I'm against that? Yes? Overrule okay, because
I think he is at a disadvantage now now knowing
(25:24):
that he's blind, he doesn't get to see just how
stunning Ms. Debro is. What everyone keeps saying, it's so
he's got a good idea. Do you have an idea
of how beautiful she is? Look? I can smell her perfume,
quite be fragrant and wonderful, the sound of her voices.
Need to touch her face, touch her face and do that?
Is that what you guys? Do that? That's my nose,
(25:47):
that's my nose, your honor. He's literally got her notes,
got your notes? When I can I enter her nose
as evidence? That's right? Yeah? Yeah, sure, you see what
I'm saying to the prosecutor and herr her nose. You're
a very good lawyer. I'm so glad that you're my lawyer.
With drawn, with drawn if you buy the best every Tuesday.
(26:08):
What's happening coming back here? Ever? Again? This should be
an open close look everybody, let's be honest. You might
be here for a while. Just stop talking lawyers, what
lady objection? This has been a weird day here. Yeah,
clearly this has been a weird. I don't have my
(26:30):
wits about me, to be honest. I'm crazy about you
Ms Deborah, and that messes up to everything. And I
get that and you guys, yeah, can I know I'm
not supposed to speak. I'm Colton Shepherd. That's my name.
Really like that name. If you're feeling tired, I wouldn't
mind swapping places just for a bit. You can recharge. Well,
we know that's allowed us. Everybody has to agree to that.
(26:52):
I'm fine with it. He cannot use my name and
get up there. That is not fair, your honor. I'm
not particularly comfortable jured that wasn't world about to begin with?
Whose name is not? In fact Colton h taken over
in the bench. I don't think even prosecution would find that,
even legal prosecution. What. I'm not daredevil? Why would you
(27:14):
suggest that? What? I just want to check in. I
feel like I'm winning. Right, he's gonna bruises all over
his pinning. A man is dead. A man you were
once married to, you murdered. I don't I think you
could be wrong. I think we need to I think
you objaction. Could the prosecution please not state opinion is back? No.
(27:34):
I think that you are very good. I think I
think m every I think you would do with all
a big favor, huge famber. If you were to read, Oh,
I can't wait an excerpt from your book. I'm thinking,
uh maybe chapter eight, the last two sentences. Like the
last two sentences, yes, chapter eight. Um, then you would
(27:56):
throw the knife into the river, turn your back on it,
and never look that way again. Wow. Wow wow wow
wow wow wow wow wow wow. Thank you. Okay, Yes,
a very moving passage, your honor. But a knife was
in fact found in the river with Miss Devereaux's fingerprints
(28:17):
on it. I never turned my I never I never
turned around him. I don't turn around anymore if I may.
A knife was found with many fingerprints on it, my
client's fingerprints being one of the pairs found uh inconclusive.
One time I accidentally stabbed him with it accidentally, which
(28:39):
was entered into evidence. Yeah. Yeah, it's a matter of fact.
We heard. We even heard the audio of that segment.
What she lived through, the husband lived through that. We
have audio. Can we replay that audio? Get it? I
will fucking kill you, honey. But the knife down a
(29:00):
second comes again and again and again on purpose and
on purpose is and he lives You're on. I was
deeply affected by that because my my hearing is heightened
superhero Did they say that? No? No, I mean played
(29:22):
at that If you played at any other volume, it
would shatter my ear drums. That's how powerful my hearing is.
Is a dolphin, I'm telling you dolphin. Yeah, I just
think it's a dolphin. All right, guys, it's getting late.
We gotta wrap this up. So we gotta wrap it.
How did you get in here? All new respect to
the bench. What is happening? That's what we're about to
(29:44):
find out. It's up to our two jurors here. Is
he's either guilty or is he's not guilty? Other only
two jurors, by the way, and what number three and
four Colton, would you would you try to explain that's
my name you're looking at all? Right, here we go, Golden,

you're doing finger quotes with the inflection, and just see
that you two aren't willing to adapt to evolve, as
they would say. I run a new age courtroom, okay,
(31:10):
with new age ideas, Scotch. I'd like to adjudicate from
the heart. Is that a problem? Is that a crime?
If so, lock me up? Look There's been a lot
of crime in this city ever since the Kingpin took over,

(32:43):
Welcome back to Alchemy. This recently a man in South Carolina,
when the country's largest Mega millions national lottery of one
point six billion dollars. We now take you to his
understandably crowded New Year's Eve party with his ever extending
family and friends, has anyone seen alright? Alright, I'd like
(33:09):
to make a I'd like to make a toast. I'd
like to make a toast. We love you, Dwaine. I
love it each and every one of you. Everybody, please,
everybody please, Okay, okay, I've brought everybody here for something
super special. Shut up and back. I can't possibly spend
(33:33):
all of the money that I've wanted, so I have
to sign out party. I've decided to give it to
one person at this party, to me, to half of
it to one person in this party. Wait, why did
you just go back on? Why you already change your mind?
(33:55):
The other hand, well, half of it goes to my wife,
and she's going to have half a hip. Can give
half of my money away to everyone or anyone I choose.
Can we set up some kind of competition that's I've
already got the competition dancing to dance. I mean, it's
not a dancing competition. It's a It's a competition of
wits and might and endurance and speed. Put the guns away.
(34:27):
Put the guns away. I would like to keep my
half and then also compete for the other half. Sweetheart,
you cannot compete for the money. You didn't want to
put your money towards the competition, so you can't compete
in it? All right? Lots of words, lots of words.
Are you're saying you're giving half to your wife and
the other half you're keeping half of that? My wife
got half of it before I even had it passed
(34:48):
through my fingers? What the hill about the government? Government
gets half? To write? Oh my god, how much does
the government get? Government's the governmath? I believe it is. Well,
we're gonna have to wait, wait, wait, wait, So what
did I leave you with? I I didn't do the math.
I might be I might be a little bit of
(35:09):
trouble here. I did it. Cousin Phil it's two hundred millions,
So there's plenty. That's two hundred millions, were hullion. All
of you are gonna get two hundred millions. One of
you is gonna win one hundred million. You you got
you one a hundred million when we got married. Okay,
(35:32):
I think it's me. This percentage is getting smaller all
the time. Is this part of the contest? Were supposed
to figure out You're not good at my No, I've
I've never claimed to be good at math. Is this
in a skype room. It's kind of like an escape room,
all right, anything it's not down down as a clue everything,
(35:53):
pull everything off the same thing, stacked the gun. Stop
shooting this in my house. I found something something. Uh,
it looks look at this. Look at this. It looks
like an aquarium, real fish. If I dunk my hand
in your hands. I found a little treasure. Oh look
at that little what's in there? Oh? Oh no, it's
(36:15):
just like a treasure. It looks like a treasure. We'll
read it made in Taiwan. Right now. The treasure chess
goes in my salt water tank and it fills up
with air that it opens up in the bubble's code
of the top. Put the treasure chest back in the
you're saying it's not an anagram, it's not part of
(36:37):
the competition at all. Could you explain any part of it. Yes,
it's it's much like the Olympics. In fact, it's I'm
stealing the Olympics. I'm stealing it. But it's gonna be
a you know, part of well chess, chess and archery.
As wits. This sounds born. I found our cat, our cat,
(36:59):
Open it up, open it up. That cat is not
part of the competition. He might he might be misleading
to open it up. When we open him up, Phil,
could we just fight for it? I mean, it's kind
of a fight, but with rules and steps. The rule
the first one, it's a four forty. We fight for
(37:20):
four forty forty yard dash forty. Uh, you're staying four
hundred forty dollars and getting smaller all the time. I
don't each other, okay, right there? Four or forty is
a run. It's a quarter of them. It's one time
(37:41):
around the track, and if you did four it would
be a mile. I was not an athlete ever. No
one's ever accused me of that. But I just swallowed
on my gun. Damn teeth good. No one was hitting you.
I was hitting that does okay? I got it? Made
in Taiwan is an anagram for weight maiden. Oh okay,
(38:03):

Waiting for money? Money? This made already got money? Can
always here's more. You're not you're not able to compete
in this competition. Definitely. A four forty is exactly the
diameter of my house. Cousin, Phil couldn't we just try
(38:25):

I mean I hit it very well. You would never
guess who. Okay, look at it. There's a competition. You're
not just supposed to around a cold bricks billion. Don't
