Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to another episode of Alchemy Day. It's COVID edition.
I'm your host, Kevin Pollock. Yes, that Kevin pollockle Oh gosh,
I don't know. Maybe we'll learn to care more about
personal hygiene when we when we go out. Maybe we'll
never complish means without covering our mouths ever again, Maybe

(00:22):
we'll give an actual funk about one another on a
daily basis. Yeah, maybe, but I digress. Let's meet our alchemy,
shall we? No particular order to say hello to Chris Ovarado?
See your man Ray? Do you see a silver lining
possibly peeking through? Yeah? Right, of course. If not, I'd

(00:46):
be dead. Yes, I do. Ah and Genius was his name? Oh, James,
you're recording the videos that right? I actually second it
is videos. Okay, Chris, you have the option to hold

(01:06):
that photo of again at anytime. Get those mules back
from sister Sarah. It's Craig Kakoski kakaw. What did Lincoln
allegedly say shortly before he was assassinated. I've heard this
is good. Um, I I yelped it, um, yelped it.

(01:27):
I'm gonna I'm gonna pinch one off before before we
watch this, Uh Mary, when the guy comes around, get
me a coke and a bag of salted peanuts. C
and D were correct, the first two not so much.
Uh hold the damn door for the return of founding
member Vanessa Ragler Venete, which quarantine meal has surprised you? Um?

(01:59):
Floor food? Did you see food? I believe yeah, you'll
find yourself finding food on the floor that usually you
would take to the trash, but these days might as well. Right,
the five second rule has become a minute forty I
think just whenever you find it. The clock doesn't start
until you've looked at it. Venicia, We've got so many emails,

(02:22):
just so you know from our wonderful listeners. Uh load
these many weeks without you and man oh man is
there's never ending love for you here and out there,
So welcome back and apologies of course for the auspices.
Quiet Larry James Heeny's here, Jimmy James Smith's to your understanding.

(02:45):
Can of two can talk? Uh? Is it two can apparent? Parent?
Is it two key? And a parent on Australian accent?
First of all, first of all, I don't think two

(03:06):
can talk? Toucan toucan? Is is just a two can.
It's a it's a question a parent um Your answered
though through through the mush is correct. Two can cannot
talk only the one representing was it fruit loops, which

(03:28):
was a two can on? Yeah? Yeah, that that two
can tough to shut that two can up, but not
the actual ones in the wilderney for their money, Jane,
I guess purd is my word to bring me to

(03:49):
my exit. Yep. And and last, but may the fireflies
you catch need new bulbs if you think at least
it's Joey Greer, Oh jam Joe, why won't you tell
the folks what you will be doing later? It's a
secret project. I'm working with the n s A and
NASA and so n s A and then the other

(04:11):
one that where you add an A between the end
and the S. So it's a pretty big deal. I
don't want to get involved with it, but it does
have to do with the birds, so that's what I
want to saying. I also want to know I'm making note.
No one else could see this, but James had a
giant pot of coffee that he was pouring into his coffee.

(04:32):
Hold it up one more times, Hold it up one
more time. Just a ship. That's the cup with your
with I believe your face on it. Whoa, that is
a sizeable French press? Is that you do? You drink
that whole thing? This is my I just started it,
but it is my second. No. No, have you been

(04:52):
up since five am? No? I got up at eight.
Well now you're just bragging, dude, that's crazy and unhelped.
I hope, I hope. It's a long time before this
is relevant. But I'd love to see your autopsy. You
know what. I'm one of the healthiest people I know.
Coffee is like a miracle elixir. Here's to it. Let's

(05:17):
do a damn show, shall we? First, though, a message
from Patreon v i P member Mike del Rosso, who
just bumped his contribution from five dollars to ten dollars.
What the hell doubling down on our insanity? I thanked
him via the Patreon messaging and then this is what
he wrote. Back until three years ago, I shift at restaurants.

(05:41):
I still work with food, but now at a major
healthcare provider. If this pandemic had happened, then I would
would have been homeless. I feel very lucky to be
where I am now. You and your crazy crew of
mischiefs helped to keep a bit of normalcy in this
batship doomsday scenario, and extra five dollars is the least
I can do to show some appreciations. Silver Lining the

(06:04):
phone delays from the new Skype sessions at a nice
layer of bad timing to comedy you're doing. He's assuming
we're on Skype. I guess I'll let him know we're
also not on Discord. Seriously, last Tuesday I almost fell
in the shower laughing when Joey's Internet connection started to
bog down. Fucking priceless. Much love and respect to you

(06:27):
and the team. Stay healthy, be smart, Mike. Well, thank
you Mike for that and for all of it. All
of our scene suggestions are from other patron v i
P members or our listener emails. If you'd like to
submit yours via listener email, please all right to the
podcast at your name here at Alchemy this dot com.
That's your name here at Alchemy. Thanks Joey. See Number

(06:53):
one comes from Jans, who wrote, I love the show.
I've been waiting for a worthy suggestion to email. I
overheard this while boarding a plane. Oh gosh, I remember
we were allowed to fly. It's like I always say,
this is what he overheard. It's like I always say
Nick is consistent and he's charming, but he is not

(07:15):
consistently charming end quote. This statement what's hugely interesting to me,
and I wanted to know what Nick's life is like
that he's so charming and so consistent, but not both.
It seemed like you all might have an idea. Everyone
has cycled in and out of my favorites right now.

(07:36):
I love all interactions between Vanessa and Joey. Well. Well,
a welcome return. Thanks James from Michigan. Uh, ticket, Please
can I see your tickets? This ticket was printed up
at my printer is a little bit low and ink,

(07:57):
but you can clearly see that this is a ticket. Well,
I think we need to discuss what your definition of
the word clearly is because mine is to find utterly
and uh, I can yes, it's listen, it's it's the
type of language you use in the air. Okay, I
don't want the overhead bins to be taken. Can you
check my ticket? Oh? Yes, of course, miss I'm gonna

(08:20):
need to put this in the overhead band. I'm so
sorry to interrupt, but I have to I have to
get there before that. There's a rush for the bins.
Can I see your ticket please? Okay, sir, can you
see how well printed this is? Hersus on the phone.
It's not even it's like it's crystal clear. It's very
good resolution and sh and she didn't take part of

(08:42):
a tree to board the plane, did she? Oh? Is that? Oh?
I don't want to get in between. I don't know
if this is a lover's quarrel. I just need to
get on. I need to get my bag up. Mess.
Do you need help with the bag? Be happy to
help you with it. But you're helping me and leave.
But you're the gate agent. Yes, I better have been
allowed to board you. I'm sorry the gate sirr. The

They allowed to wait? Mr veteran? The gate agent is.

Five five five? But I'd like hearing that. Yeah, well,
it's true. There's word on the street about about Captain Nick.
You don't say yep uh. Part of the people on
the street there are saying that you're extremely charming, and
another part of the people are saying that you're consistent,

(12:41):
which I realized that. You know, it suggests that you're professional,
and I think that's called for given your Hey, um,

call you Captain. So there's a little kerfuffle. I don't

(13:02):
want to weary you seems hold on, I don't mean

There's a kerfuffle, and then is that the group one
is turned on the other four groups and there's there's
not enough people on the plane. It's not heavy enough,

(13:23):

No French bulldogs, No Joey career. He's inside. Once he's
in here, I can't silence him. But still, I see
what you're doing. You asked for the one thing maybe

(27:02):
we all should have asked for, which is a break
from each other. Well, I sure ship didn't want some
pleated pants. I could. Yeah, I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot.

won't know that we're in here. Guys, open up, and
somebody to walk my dogs. Shit, you can't hear it.
I can't hear why we can hear him. It's it's
just keep your voice down. I think, hold on here,

(28:08):
let me test it out. Hey, Craig, you're a fucking chump.
Nobody really likes you. You're only here because Kevin think
you're okay. I think I think something might be wrong
with it because if this great, Hey, Craig, whyt to
go funk yourself? And you know what, I kiss both
your dogs on the mouth, Chris, Chris, if we can
hear him, it's all right, I heard all that. That

(28:30):
open the door, Craig. Sorry, we're doing uh we were playing. Um,
why don't you come inside? This is a soundproof trailer, Craig,
are you okay? You're like crying into the crafty. We
all want to we all want to eat that. So

I don't want you. I don't want you to cry,
but I especially don't want you to cry on the
cream cheese. I'm sorry. They shouldn't leave out so many nuts. Uh. Look,
I just found out what Chris Alvarado really thinks would be.
What is he thinking? It thinks I'm a chump? Oh,
you just found out. Really, you know this. I did

(29:15):
have a suspicion. But Craig, I I'm not in the
movie very much. Can we make it about me for
a second. Can you stop crying? And can we make
it about me for a second. Well, you you've got
two good scenes, but every other scene at the top
it says Vanessa is not in this scene. Yeah, it's
a good part of the dialogue to God, damn it,

(32:34):
years that you and I are officially on the lamb.
All right, I'm here. Good news, y'all. Good news, y'all
officially booked. Did hey, stop eating the goddamn food on
the table, man, I'm not eating the bowl of shit
over there, some of those capers that came out of
my nose. What you guys, I think I'm just gonna walk.

(32:56):
I think I'm gonna do some walk in two scenes
and just we're going to roll with it because we're
used to improvising, and I'm just gonna I feel like
if I'm on set, I'm just gonna walk in, but
you're not on the call sheet. I hate you so much.
All Right, hey, everybody, I'm glad you're all here. Um see,
I'm here with James and Kevin obviously. So now that
we are here, what's getting ready for the big shoot day?

(33:17):
I was thinking, um, we should probably clear the air
before we get started because I want this to be
a nice, pure experience for all of us. Okay, yeah,
let's get it all out there. Good good, Um, listen,
I said some things about Craig that I meant but
I regret saying. And so that's done. You know, that's
that's out there. That's why Why do you regret it?
If you meant it, I regret that he heard it

(33:37):
because I'm kind of a coward that way. Fair, fair assessment. Alright, accepted,
Thank you, Thank you. No. I just think, James, I
think maybe you might want to say some things about
why your request was to shut us out, you know,
before we get started here. Well, Vanessa's not shooting today,
but before we get started today, if you guys need me,

(33:57):
I'm available always great to James. Well, the reason I
shut you guys out is like, I want when we're
together to be electric and if I'm with you guys
all the time, it's just boring. So I keep myself
at my trailer so that there's electricity and chemistry and

(34:21):
for God's sake, alchemy when we get together. Let's see
what you did there. I don't know that we can
argue with that. Once again, James has brought us back
to where I'm guys. I'm sorry. I know I'm not
technically a call sheep, but I am. You know I'm here. Um.
I just noticed that there's a body double for all
my scenes. H yeah, but it's all just us, you know,

(34:48):
at the coffee shop, and so I just don't know
why there has to be a body double for all
my Listen. I didn't want to do this, but I'm
gonna throw Vanessa under the bus, Kevin. She plans on
jumping into these two these scenes doing walking impressions. I
heard her say she was gonna do a bunch of
walking and that's your thing, and I just feel like
she's trying to sabotage the movie. I appreciate that, James,
and I'd like everyone to take notice that what James

(35:11):
has done is stab Vanessa in the face and not
my body, double my face. I'm sorry, don't you call me?
Hi's here? Hey? How are you na good? Venis not
much older in real life. You have to go, you
have to go. No, she can't. She's see in the

(35:32):
scene we're talking about. She's in the scene today. Well
in all the scenes. He listen to her Australian accent. Vanessa,
you're gonna love it. Lay it down, Venete two kids
a parrot immacular was really good. Also, okay, I better
wow joey Um, Why don't you show everybody how good

(35:53):
of a kisser you are? James, come here, do it?
Freak boy? How about just the James come here? Oh?
I just don't know if I'm wrong here? Okay? Who
those two dogs dead over there? Oh? God? Though I

(36:14):
was I was breeding that. Um Mrs a gold Gold
gold flush we have. My name is Linda gold, Schmidt
told Schmidt, ma'am mrs Mrs Um. I'm sorry to bother
you just want to there's some problems set there seems
to be uh, some some hiccups. What is wrong with you?

(36:37):
What is your role? What are you here for? What
are you trying to tell me, how would you have
me to answer that? Would we answer that in order?
Or my role is I am your assistant. I am
here uh to let you know what's going on on set.
And my role is not me me meator. Okay, it's involuntary.
I'm sorry, I so, I I so what So what's

(36:59):
happening is Craig's dogs have past and he's sewn them
together to make one big dog and he's carrying it
around every scene and on setting everyone, making everyone pettit.
James James has taken on the role of detective for
some reason, and he seems to be narking on everybody.
And yeah, I don't understand there's no detective in the picture.
I know, I know, I know. Uh. And probably the

(37:22):
biggest hiccup is that the Vanessa has um well she
she killed her standing and so there there's there's we
need to fix that. Help that we're gonna have to
go on the Lamb. This whole production is going on
the Lamb's get the word out. Let everybody know, put
it in the walks. This production is on the Lamb,
and we're moving. Okay, okay, okay, noted, take your pants off? Yes, yes, okay,

(37:48):
that's a company move. Everybody company moved. Bullshit, I just
shut this up. Alright, we're now all officially on the lamb.
That means no more communicado with your family member zos. Okay,
wait on a twenty hours. We are we are officially
on a twenty now. I always thought the lamb was

(38:09):
pregnant and seen too. You always thought on the lamb
meant with child phrase for like with child on the lamb,
isn't it? Is it? Nope? Nope, it's because Jesus Christ
is the Lamb of God. Okay, keep talking. Yeah, thank you.

(38:33):

thank you so much for the wonderful Passover wishes. It
was much appreciated. I forgot. Oh yeah, yeah for you,

very good. We were staying indoors and we put the

(39:19):
blood of the lamb, bringing it all back on the door,
so the full circa blood on the and sing. I
will say for the record on the lamb lamb it
just spelled l A M. It's true, got nothing to
do with the animal, James, feel better or worse? Worse?

(39:40):
Now I get to know what the acronym is. What
does LAMB stand for? Joey, No, it's not. It's not

It sound sound? We gotta we got to move. If
the listeners wants to google before James has a chance
and send us the deaf and it's your name here

(40:01):
at alchemy there dot com. See three comes to us
from Martin who wrote, Dear Alchemists, thanks so very much
for all the laughs. Nothing makes me laugh harder than
carrying jokes from the first scene all the way to
the last. Here is my scene suggestion. In an alternate universe,

(40:22):
what if Jesus Christ was just the best magician and
illusionists of his time. J C goes around making miracles
with the help of his disciples. Sleight of hand turns
blood into wine, multiplying the fish, walking on the water, etcetera. Judas,

(40:42):
as always, of course, is the disciple who ruins the
illusion by giving away the trick. Thanks a million Martin
from Canada. Okay, uh, who who's next? I am? I am?
I am, yes, yes, Jesus, I am. I'm very sick,
very very sick. And describe your symptoms if you would

(41:04):

don't know what to do. I can't work it. It's
hard to breathe. Rib lungs is one of my specialties.

(41:50):
thank you so much. Just just say thank you, thank
you so much. Thank my fate. If you wanted to
plan something bleeding, yes, sir, how can I help my family?
What they're very hungry, and all we have is this
one loaf of bread. And how many in your family? Four?

(42:11):
Just four? Huh, Well there's me and then four others,
and we have a dog that if we could do
something about the dog, that would be cool, but definitely secondary.
Wish we just have this one of bread. You have
one loaf of bread. This one would like to feed
a family of five and a canine if possible. This

load for bread, dude to stay at that. I don't know.

out of asses. Sometimes it's probably bread. Oh my god,

(43:14):

the huge loaf of bread. Oh really, but you dropped

(50:00):
up with a guy and he's doing this thing and

what he wants, I give it a thing, and then
we find a medium in the middle. What if I
