Hey gang, my name is Lauren, and I'm from the wondrous,
exciting state of Ohio. I have been loving the podcast,

(04:57):
especially Vanessa and her goblin character. It's no you all

group of conservation biologists, along with their local guide take
a trip in search of rare endangered species. I'm curious
to see was he uh what y'all might come up
with on the hike. Love you all, Lauren, b Let's
trying to stay at the group, Steve, Yeah, I just
I think somebody bit me back. There's is anyone's GPS working?

(06:05):
Mine just says we're right where we are. I just
won't want it, says um M. What does it say?
He says, We're exactly where we need to be. So
the map is passing judgment on us. I don't know.
I don't know what's going on with you there, and

(06:26):
I'll tell you what's going on with me. Someone didn't
get their coffee and they're taking it out on the
rest of us. He said, you or who is that?
Is that? Who? I think we all know who the
big coffee drinker is in the group, Dave, Dave? Is
it a Java slut? Dave? Are you a Java slot?
I wouldn't call myself a Java slut? No, but I

(06:47):
do like my coffee. I do like to be caffeinated.
I've seen you fun coffee. Yes, I have ridiculous What
does that even mean? What do you got as right
in my land? What are you guys doing in my land?
It was from the marsh. I was I was, I

(07:09):

I don't mean to um damper your attitude here, sir,
but you look at this map. Here you can see
there's an outline of what is state land and what
is your land? What we are on state land. State land. No, no, no,

(07:32):
this has been my family's land for generation. Do you
need us to call someone? Can we get someone to help?

my land and that guy's bite looks like it's gonna
cost him a leg. Dratic, not dramatic. Could you attend
to it? Sir? No? Absolutely not your dress passing on
my land. I don't mean to interrupt. I'm always confused

(07:54):
when people say, could you attend to that? Or could
you attend to that? Is that the same thing? I
think it's the same. I think so as well as
you get their meeting. Does it matter? Well, I don't know.
There's definition matter, Davis. That what you're asking, I think
it does. I want you to wrap all this didgets
and catch it's up and get off my cut damn land.

though it's trademark by the company. I wasn't aware, but

Think pink. That will never work at think pink. That
scene was off the rail. Hey, let's get to our

(17:35):
one of our sponsors here, Bombas. Yes, did you know
that socks are the number one most requested clothing item
in homeless shelters. Well, Bombas is on a mission to
change that. They created the most comfortable socks in the
history of feet, and for every pair of socks purchase,
Bombas donates a pair to someone in need. Designed with
special comfort innovations, colors, patterns, lengths and styles, Bombas are

(18:00):
perfect for the whole Fanly, get your hands on a
pair of Bomba socks and your feet well, thank you.
Now get this. Bombas has donated over twenty million pairs
and counting, and they're made from super soft natural cotton
and every pair is designed with arch support, which I
didn't even know you could have in a sock, these
sucking geniers. They stays, there's a seamless toe, a cushioned

(18:20):
footbed that's supportive. But don't worry, it's not too thick.
And now my new favorites are the Marino wool socks
designed to be breathable, dry, breathable, dry, never itchy, with
just the right amount of thickness, because sometimes your sock
or too thick, sometimes the real thin. But Bombas gets
that balance right somehow with tons of James can start

(18:47):
it was that was hot right there. With tons of
different colors, patterns, lengths, and styles, Bumbas also make the
perfect gift for everyone on your list. Look, wear them
every single day. I can't take them off. I refuse to.
You have to wash that I do. I go in
the shower with them and I scrub them up and

(19:08):
guess what, when I want to change out the look,
that's when I change the sock. Because they're stick comfortable.
I don't put your feet off the table. Look at them.
They're nice. Vanessa, you at a point you wanted to
make about mission Yes, um love a phone, tropic mission
love a sock company. Put them together and how great
is that? I do love what they're doing. It's so nice.

(19:31):
We need more companies with hearts out there that's going
to fight capitalism. Okay, and I think that's why we
all got into podcasts. Incredible that they've donated over twenty
million pairs of socks. I mean, that's why I was extraordinary.
They could donate seven more pairs to us. We don't
need them to the seven of us now, but if
we buy a parent they'll donate them. Oh then we should,
Oh we should. I think Joey's got This is shopping

Oh Richard Landry uh with my kids favorite character snoofa
the beach bum My kids. It brings me such joy
as a parent to see my own teens in a

(35:29):
sea of blah faced earbud wearing high schoolers burst out
laughing uncontrollably. Wow, that is bringing generations together. Knew we
were doing good. Thanks for making them look crazy in
front of their peers. Speaking of scene suggestion. While recording
their latest episode of Alchemy, this our performers slowly realized

(35:50):
that they never there never was a podcast, and they're
all in fact patients and an insane as silent. Thanks
Robert more Deneaux, I ancestry dot com. Not only is it? Uh?
Not only can Joey? Can we get it? Not just
near the clean rad? Okay? Thanks? Is this dot com

(36:11):

vanessas on her phone. You know what, guys, is not

(36:31):
waiting for youtub idiots to shut the funk up so
Joey can finish. And sorry Mr pol Yeah, yeah, fine, sorry, James. Nothing.
I have some startling news and I don't really want
to shirt with everybody. You don't want would you want
to share it with? How about you just tell each
of us one of the time. Okay. I don't know
if he can handle it. Have you ever heard of

(36:52):
the algorithm? But the story of the cave with the
guys in the shadows and the fires. Allegory of the allegory. Yeah,
it's allegory is the word that's looking forward. I don't
want to be killed. That's not what it's about. Okay,
have to do with ancestry dot com. It has nothing
to do with ancestry dot com. I would love to
do an ad read. All right. Let's let's just stop

(37:14):
with the heads, the big wigs, heads, the doctors. What
you're talking about some kind of disease or something. Okay,
well your own teeth, mustaches, storys not off your mustache.
That's gross. Recording podcast. We've been We're not. There's still rolling.

(37:41):
Doug Bam, Doug Bam. Are we recording right now? He's
he's nodding, he's nodding the other way. He's doing a bit.
These aren't microphones bananas. Okay, okay, it is not a
real person. You're telling me that the squshy squshy, tiny
little thing to get fit in my pocket is not

(38:02):
somebody clearly won the edited carnival. Okay, Okay, listen, I recall,
I recall I had a lunch with Mr Pollock, the
award winning actor and thank you guy who's the one
who thought of this, and he said he wanted us
to do a podcast. So I was like in awe
because he's very famous and he's done so much, and like,
I mean, frankly, because I was in your shirt. I'll

(38:25):
let you live what I was inside? What happened? Why
were you inside Chris's shirt? Do you remember where you
were before recording today? Stop crying. I'm sorry, it's just upsetting.
And I just thought that if Mr Paula told me
I was in New York, so you weren't. No, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it sounded like that, I think when I was there

(38:47):
taxi taxio, Yeah yeah. Mr Ralbarado just like that painter's
stop today and by a state building. Where was Craig?
Where were you? I'm trying to get my joke, oh
my outside from all his torch? Craig, do you have
any other outfit than that? They're blue smock? What is

(39:08):
wrong with? What is wrong? You know? He's all about it.
It's it's hospital gear, nobody sports hospital. It's that's why
we're all wearing the same He sent me. That's my
collar bone. Dr Wilson. As you can see the patient's

(39:33):
break at some point during the podcast every single time,
and if we could just keep them in the pocket
a little longer, I think we'd get the progress. It's dangerous,
it is dangerous. It's it's dangerous, life threatening. We pulled
them out on purpose. I guess we don't know what
would happen if we keep them in. I think we
just removed the James he Knee character because he seems
to be the rabble rouser, the troubleminger. But I think

(39:54):
he's a fan favorite. Surprisingly, I think you're right about Okay, yeah,
all right, how about this? Why don't we put James
Heeney character down to a two point three? I like that. Well,
we'll keep the Joey at a at a nine. Well,
is there any other place? Vanessa seems to live great
at an eight point to and Craig is a wild
fight he's wild, So you know what, I won't put

(40:14):
any parameters on that character like that a lot. Chris
Alvarado is perfect. So right, all right, let's go back here.
I'm here to see James. I'm here to see my husband, James. Okay,
just sign him. You're not ready to see James, sweetheart? Doctor? Hi?
Are you she had? Doctor? Yes? I am she's a

(40:36):
doctor patient. Okay, well, what's your relation my relationship to James? Yeah,
I'm I'm his wife. You say you're as dog dog wife.
Let me see your two human So he married the
old heeney. H he put a ring on it. Huh.

(40:58):
You want these pills in this little white cup there,
I'm not going to give those away. I'm gonna eat
him in front of you. I need to tell you something.
James is very sick. I know that's what. He's very funny.
I know that's why he's here. He's a favorite. Explicably,
it's really and I need to tell you something. This
planet that we're standing on, honey, they've got you fleeced.

(41:18):
It's not a planet at all. The Doctor's right. We're
gonna needs over here. Listen. You can't see James face
to face, but if you want to peek into the
quote unquote recording room, you can see him through the glass.
Just want to hug him. Here he is, James. So
we're doing Podcast number three comes from James. He need

(41:43):
you wrote the Shepherd to paper? Why would you write
a scene suggested? Heavens? Kevin has won so many more world, Mr.
Look at this piece of paper. This is clearly this
is just drawing more a question like the issue is
he's waking up. He's he's waking up to the reality

(42:08):
that he's in a hospital, and I have to take this.
My paper is going off. I'm so sorry. So we
have one of two options. Um, the first one is
he goes home with you today. Maybe it's false alarm
on the paper. I realized somebody was pranking me. They

(42:30):
did eight zero zero eight. You know what that is?
Zero zero eight? Booby? Why did you gloss over the
fact that maybe your husband can go home with you today?
Maybe it's better that he stays here. What that's what
I was gonna say. Now hear me out. I'm just
the doctor. Okay, maybe it's better if he stays here
and you guys put I don't know, skewers in him
or something. No, well, we won't do that. But since

(42:53):
he is surprisingly popular with the fans, why is that
the only thing important at this hospital? Because we need
revenue and we need ads. My god, oh my god,
we're not a hospital. A hospital. Should she be here? Absolutely?
Look what I'm wearing under my lab o, My god,
I belong here? How many scars doctor. I wanted to

(43:16):
go over the amount of man hours and money we
are investing in this one single project. Sure, sure, How
can I help you? So you have a group of
of of mad people, that's correct, crazy people. Sure, yeah,
that's a scientific to use the technical term. They're in
a room together with bananas, they think of microphones and

(43:38):
they believe they are recording a podcast. Yes, and we
also have a stuffed animal that's that's supposed to be
a sound engineer. How does that help um morale? Yeah?
Just say that the name Doug bam and brings people joy?
And how were we able to synchronize these this mass psychosis?
I'm going to need this conference room in ten minutes. Okay.

(43:58):
I look, I have its signed up to have it
signed up at two. I haven't signed up until two,
So give me the ten minutes. Okay. Jesus, she's beautiful,
she is she's distracting the bees. So what was your question? How?
How do how do they all have the same psychosis?

(44:21):
How how is this developing into ad revenue if no
podcast is actually being recorded? Well, you have to give
me one second. We are the first ever postable Okay,
so it's gonna take a few months together, you know,
to get some I'm sorry, we're going to cut funding.
What we're cutting funding. I have no idea what you
do in that hospital. And I understand that it sounds

(44:44):
like popsicle, and that's what I wanted. You thought you
thought you were investing in a single popsicle. Yes, you'll
gave us ten million dollars. I know how much I gave.
And I wanted to how long are you guys in
here till two? Again with you? When do you have
the room? It too? I have the room at two? Okay,

(45:05):
it's this is my room. This is my room. About
the room, this is my room. I signed it out online.
My corns are killing me. She is beautiful, but just repulsive.
She's a repulsive person. If I could just your counting,
it is here. You embsied in me and that cool

(45:26):
And it was one of these chips for everybody here.
They're just for you waking the papticle is what exactly
I'm assuming? Of course it's not a deserted sidem Hona stick. Yeah,
it is a dessert idem monaster. Ten million dollars. Yes,
the painting of a popsicle, No whole cherry pop it's
a I refew to believe you paid ten million dollar?

(45:49):
Are you sleeping? Wake up? What's going on? I have knocked? Alright? Fine, fine, fine, James?
What if? What if this isn't a podcast? Hold? Just
what if it is? And what if we are in
a hospital? So you're telling me hypothetically yotic? Okay, because

(46:11):
okay that that this isn't a podcast and Doug is
not a real person and these are bananas. But I
don't know if I want to even if that's the truth,
I don't know if I want to believe in it.
Can't we still make a great podcast? Can't we sto?
We can't. I'm gonna let me show you the insights
of this. You're somebody thetor one of the dog. We

(46:48):
got to use it. We got doctor patient. Okay, noticed
a lot of commotion in the room. You need any
ccs and emails, any anythings to Mr Pollock, help Mr
poll I'd like to thank the academy. Oh wow, wow,

(47:09):
specifically those who voted for me. Yeah, the ones who didn't.
What's that feel like? Righty? Right? Ye? Listen. I know
Doug is dead, but I wouldn't mind hearing Joey go
ahead and do that ad. After all, if we could, please,
who could? Where's Vanessa? She's on her phone and I

(47:30):
think she's just I'm not on my phone. There she is?
I mean, I am, she's on her phone. I am,
but I'm not. There's a picture of you on your
own phone. Yeah, that's what I meant, So I am okay,
But I was just, you know, imagining programming. Snake go, Joey,
do your read? He dyslexic a little? What the what

(47:55):
the fuck is your problem? I haven't probably proved me wrong.
I would love this is the You're either dyslexic severely,
which is fine, or you just don't know how to read.
You're such a piece of Start with the words on
the left and move towards the right in the same
lines like Hebrew. It's just weird that the words starting

(48:16):
on the left. Is the best improviser in this room,
and it seems like he would be. And he's probably
the best reader too. Yeah, I would have say, I mean,
he's probably done the most television safer get it. I'm listening, Craig.
You want to take a shot at this. Joey seems
to be incapable. Sure you wanted me to do it
as my Richard Duncan character from the Famous B's the

(48:37):
one that cut across all four quadrants. Yeah, I mean,
or I can continue to do it. It's good. This
is good. Ancestry dot Cham Yes, yeah, Hey, you want
to put your DNA out there? Wants No, you've got
to murderers in your family. Did everybody's going to see

(48:59):
your d N online? Oh? That's pretty good, Craig was
that guy? Alright? Yeah, I mean it was just off
the top of my Head's let's try from the side
of your head. Then the next one? What you wanted
me to do? This out of the side of my head?
The Landry character the author. Wow, that is coming out

(49:22):
of the side of his head. That was impressive. So
you tell me, Mr Heeney, Yeah, because this all fake.
I hope it is, because otherwise I'm covered in Doug
Babe's blood. You mean you are? Yeah, you're going to jail,

how come his hands and chopped off with someone else's
bodies in there and they're poking the tiny hands through
the holes that his hands was supposed to be. What's
your problem with that? My problem is that I'm supposed
