I listened to a range of podcasts and you are
the first one I'm writing to. Yea, yea. She goes

(02:21):
on to complain love the show, y'all hilarious, YadA, YadA all. Right,
I have an idea. This is based off a story
I read. A grandmother is virtually blind. It can only
see blurry images in shapes. Her grandson doesn't visit often,
so she can't quite remember what he looks like. A
demon has been assigned to haunt her. However, when he

(02:41):
enters the house and starts his haunting, the almost blind
grandmother thinks the demon is in fact her a strange grandson.
She's making food for him, talking to him as if
the demon were her grandson. Example, oh my much bigger,
all right, no examples. The demon begins to feel bad

(03:03):
and pretends to be the grandson. Take whatever liberties you
like be on that of course, Thank you so much,
and as usually, have lots of fun with it and
let your imagination go. Wow. I love the show. Hope
you can alchemy this. Thanks Jessica Plumber. Where's pot? Pot?

got a couple of I had no cats. Now I
have no cats. That's a bummer, Grandma. Have you ever

rate of drown. Um, Grandma Derek, You're not a door
to door salesman. You're a door to door ghostbuster. You
offer a service that people need, people want. Yeah, but
business has been slow lately because you don't believe and

I know I bust ghosts, but I don't believe in ghosts.
That's the problem. And by the way, we can all
feel it, we can all tell. You can't just go
to the motions and saying the words, you know, spirit, spirit,
get out, damn spirit. You've got to really see the spirits.
I just don't believe that ghosts are real. I don't
believe that ghosts. People don't know demons, demons. Okay, we

this is your captain speaking. We have very excited to

(28:30):
have you join us on the sort to day cruise
around the world thirty day cruise around the world. In
case you're repeating that now, I just want to confirm
it for you. The first couple of days we're going
to be at sea as we crossed the Atlantic and
then head over into Scandinavia when we're going to be
going to Oslow in Stockholm and Copenhagen. This so it's

(28:55):
nice and didn't carry on to Italian Estonia. We might
head up into the Arctic for a little bit. When
do we d glass plane. We have some viewing of
some glaciers, some polar bears there, and we went to
sail around down through the Mediterranean, around the Horn of Africa.

(29:15):
I'm skipping ahead a little bit here, but a little
really hit by the coast of Australia and New Zealand,
and then class plane we'll go through the Panama Canal
and then eventually make our way back to New York City.
I don't think this makes sense. I feel like at
some point we would have fallen off. I don't think

(29:38):
it all checks out. Hey, Hey, I like how many
crab legs you've got on that plates, many crablegs on
that plate as a crab family? Does it a crab
family reunion? When you're eating corpses? Just own it. Okay,

by myself. Oh, I came with a group, but we're
not hitting it off. I've only got one bed and here,
So is that what you're I wasn't, John, I was
going to sleep on the lido next o. Never mind.

(30:23):
I thought that was a proposition you were. It was
more like, let's get to know each other. That's what
cruisers are for. You're not familiar. I'm not. This is
my first cruise. I've always been afraid on you know,
into space or whatever on those cruise right. Yeah, Well,
if you go too far you'll fall off into space.

bat ship? Crazy? What's your name? I can see your
nipple piercings through your tank to look at that when
I was drunk. How old are you too old for this? No?

All right, she's not actually in my room, so in
your room. I don't put talking about the room. Don't don't.
This is your millionth cruise. It's free, free, The ice
is free, am I correct? Inclusive in a way. Yeah,
so you're not going to pay for it? Okay? Sorry.

(31:30):
The other diners are wondering if there's an issue with
some kind for you volume volume maybe from this table,
from this turbo. He got loud. You keep yelling about
your room, and on the other di you're misunderstanding. I
just she said that there wasn't working out with who

(31:50):
she was at, and I said, I only have one bed.
He jumped right to that. That's how I was going.
I don't, okay, but I never do. I mean, we're
just floating on this plate right, we're spinning on a frisbee. Captain.
Permission to enter the bridge, Captain. It's been brought to
my attention that a lot of the guests here believe

(32:12):
that we are going to uh uh um come up
to a glass plane, glass blink at some point. They
think we're gonna we're gonna hit something. Why would we
hit something? Well, because some of them, not me, but
some of them think that the earth is flat. Brittany,

(32:33):
what what is going on? I'm confused, if I'm being honest,
do you think that we're not really sailing around the world.
I don't know anymore. Captain, Captain, captain, permission to enter
the bridge? Permission grant? Great, Britney's here, I'm here, great, great, Um,
there's just a problem in the dining hall. Okay, but
I have a problem right here. Okay, Well, there's a

(32:54):
problem in the dining okay. There is a chain of
co d on the ship. You know, I don't need
to know everything that's going on. There's managers for the restaurants,
like I'm mostly responsible for sailing the ship, okay, but
there was like a guy who's permission, bridge permission. Claire,

(33:16):
there you are, I'm managing the floor by myself. Now, okay, Well, Whitney,
you know, figure it out. I was trying to, but
then I was alone, and then I thought, where would Claire?
I got taddling to the captain. I see what's going on,
control captain, and see what's going on here? Captain. Captain
is dicking all of us, Claire, Brittany what's going on,

(33:38):
Captain Dickie? Permission to enter the bridge? Permission grunted? Uh, sir,
there's a toilet out, and sweet, I don't. I don't
need to know that. Look, I don't need to know
that the toilets are out. I don't need to know
about the fight in the dining room. I don't need
to know that the short for menprev show was canceled tonight.
It is? It is? I did I did hear that?
By the way, I was really looking? Or do you

(34:00):
think we should incorporate butterflies into the napkin folding? Sure?
Sure do. Over half of the people on this ship
believe that the Earth is flat, and if I'm being honest,
I'm starting to think it is as well. So i
need a little help because I'm freaking out here. Wait, Brittany,
are you getting dicked by the captain? Yes? Did you
know that? Claire? I mean, I had suspicions, but I

(34:23):
didn't know, and show in my own world they had
no idea. Swear to God, you're right. I didn't know.
I promised No, I did not know. Are you getting dicked?
I'm not getting dicked by no? But are you sure
that Welsh guy. I wish, wish, I keep doing double
on to andreis to him, he's not picking. What do
we just hit? Captain? I don't know. This is strange.

(34:45):
Who we appeared to hit a giant glass plane. Make
an announcement. Make an announcement, passengers. We just appeared to
have just slightly slightly bumped an enormous glass business is it?

(35:06):
Oh my god, it appears that the turtle that holds
the earth is tired. Oh give me one of those crabs.
I love being right hungry. Another news. The short form
improv show just canceled tonight. That would definitely be other news.

(35:33):
As you slightly hit the glass plane gently, I think
was the term, let's finish things up. Our third scene
is from Julia monk Er. Oh, dear Alchemy, this crew,
if you choose my suggestion, I'm not sure what I'll
be more excited about hearing y'all acted out or hearing

(35:57):
the melifolius voice of Kevin Polack say my namely. Ever,
I started watching Marvelous Mrs Maisiel listening to Alchemy this
ironically around the same time. Is that ironic? Your voice
has followed me everywhere and I'm not done, Julia Monk,

(36:20):
look in your office quickly. Excuse me, sorry, I add
something in my suggestion is a man is confronted by
his friends and family about his ever growing number of
adopted guinea pigs. You're all brilliant minds and are disturbed
in all the right ways. Thanks, you've felt the animals,
Julia Monk, listen when Larry gets here. I think you

(36:42):
know it's not a surprise party thing where we all
just jump up from mind account. Let's take a boat
who wants to jump up from behind the couch and
say a surprise. I'm like to know everyone seems into it,
started off in a happy way. I just want to
confuse the issue him thinking it's goal like surprise, you
have a problem, so right off the bat that effect.

(37:05):
I think confusing the issue will be helpful, you know,
like muscle confusion when you're trying to get emotional confusion.
Is this going to affect your personal relationship with him
most definitely? And you're willing to throw that away? Yeah,
I'm pretty sure it's over now. Who can to adopt
some of the guinea pigs? Obviously we need to take

(37:26):
some of these out of here. Just let him go,
let him go. Well again, they're going to die on
their own. These are these guinea pigs arrival of the
fittest Steve, how many times have we talked about that.
It's just that my dad thinks of them as like
family members. Well that's the problem, Steve, that's the problem.
They're not people. Okay, they're not people. Say we're people.

(37:48):
There's too many people living in this house. Your dad
loves most of those guinea pigs more than he loves you.
What's the true He's told us a number of occasions. Look,
i'm your uncle. You know, I'm your cool uncle, but
I don't like you can take your sunglasses after come
on now, he loves that more than he loves you,
and that's why we're doing this. But remember first it's surprised,

(38:10):
and then it's you've got you've got a problem, and
as you're not cool, aunt, I just you're cool. I'm
not cool. That was cool one. Look at you. It's
an accident. I caught it on fire. Yah, put the
sunglasses on. Let me say no, come on you guys,

(38:32):
I love you. D get out of here. I'm hiding here.
How nice? I love kidney pig? Something like Danny pigs.
Oh do do do? Do do? Where are my keys?
Looking for my keys? These are the wrong ones looking

(38:53):
for the keys. Okay, cramping up? Shan't wait to be
the guinny pigs? What doesn't this key word cold? K
heading back out to the Okay, so when he gets here, remember,
it's surprised you have a problem. I need a new
hiding place. The table is too low. Also, I think

(39:16):
that we should Um, I've written something down. Did you
all write something down? Why don't you start? We're supposed to.
You should start if you wrote something down? Okay, Well,
surprised you have a problem? And then you jump? Mom?
Did you say that after the things we're going to
be over between you? And definitely maybe we don't need
to get rid of the guinea pigs? Then I don't
want to look. It's time for you to learn a

(39:40):
hard life lesson? Okay? Should we We're already here, We're
already here. You know, sometimes in life things don't work out. Okay,
that's true. Okay, And sometimes you know, you marry a
man who like to finger bang in the car, right
and then and he changes into a man who doesn't

(40:02):
look in the eye and spends more of his time
at Petco just hoarding guinea. You found my keys. I
found my keys in the car, open in the door.
Now going to see mcguinnys where I'm a guinny. You
have a problem, you have a problem. What's everybody doing here?

(40:29):
A god? That's so embarrassing. You heard me singing and rapping.
I loved it. That was a great, great song. You
were saying, I don't think there is rapping. Yeah, it wasn't.
I'm with Gina. That wasn't rapping. Give us an example
of rapping then. Okay, Now from the time for this
I went to friends. Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing.

(40:50):
Are you saying that I have a problem rapping? Is that?
I'm glad you picked up on the intervention thing? Daddy?
Think you shut up? What we got to read our
letters is going to go first. I have a seat, buddy.
You want a cold one? Yeah, let's get you cold,
get you dead of beer? Okay, Like I don't want

(41:12):
to beer, but I will have a cold one. Okay,
cold tepsode Okay, I'll be back. What is wrote some
time for you? I wrote something for you. We're here
because we love you. Let's start there. You guys, we
do love you. We want to get specific about our love.
So Charles, okay, take it away, bro. I can't imagine
what this could be bro man, my bro ski, my

(41:34):
little bro bro establishing the connection my brother from the
same mother. Where do I we can get to it.
I'm seriously at a loss as to what this could
be about. I've wrote a couple of pages. Okay, all right,
I'm gonna jump right to it, right, I want jump
right to it. You love you? Okay? You? Wow, that

(41:57):
is a cold one. Feel cold when we have a
boy you have chosen to love a guinea pigs? Yes? More,
what then you've chosen chosen? I think that works? Did
you not only your family but yourself? Oh that's a

(42:18):
good one of the well. I had no idea that
this would be what this would be about. Think back on, Charles. Note,
and I also think that that's an offensive use of piggyback.
I think I think you're supposed to just let everybody
get out what they need to and then you'll be
allowed to speak an intervention. Gina, I wrote it down.

(42:44):
Hold on, sweetheart, your guinea pig obsession has affected session negatively.
In the following way negatively. I no longer you're easing
that pig pretty hard. I am no longer able to

(43:05):
get off in our love making. When we say you are,
you say you're getting off. I have to lie otherwise
you lay in bed on top of me. I have
sixteen guinea pigs just writhing around and crevices that I
don't need those guinea pigs. Your parents are very good communicators.

(43:25):
Does the fingerbank portion need to be longer? Or is
that I handled the guineas before I finger bang you?
Or you know it's someone who's never been finger bangs.
Oh no, my sister, my sister, my sister in law.

(43:46):
It still would feel weird. I don't know. Let's have
any finger bang. I'm years you have known me for
Maybe you'd be the right person. I'm just saying, no,
please continue. Am I going to learn about finger bang? Right?
You don't have to worry about that until high school?
Everything is okay, fine, But as soon as high school starts,

(44:08):
worry about it, okay, whatever you will, you will be
preoccupied with it. Can I ask a question real quick?
Are you aware how many guinea pigs you have? Yea, well,
almost one forever US state. This is one of the problems.
It's seventy three. You're not even aware the baby since

(44:29):
for work this morning, So you count them before you
leave the high I do. I count them everybot this morning.
How high can you count? Yeah, we've found the problem.
You just quickly established your relationship here. I'm his employer. Yeah. Sorry, no,

(44:50):
it just felt like I run the bank. Yeah, you're
like part of the business partner. I was here waiting
for you to come home, pretty salad, valued employee. We
made a great deal to the bank. I love my job.
We care very much about you. Clearly your family has
their own concerns, but professionally speaking, you're out of control.

(45:12):
I mean, there's so many things that I I know
I have faults, but I didn't think it would have
anything to do with my guineas. This is gonna be
a little unorthodox, a little weird. But um maybe if
we have them him named them, well, I think they
are named in like a roll call. Well Gorman, he
has something to say, Gorman. Yeah, Well, well, I I

(45:38):
wrote down in the voice of what I think Gorman
would say. That's creative. That's my little man. I learned.
It's called on Amana learned that in high school on
a fingerback. I think it's anthropomorphs, yep, that's the one.

(46:00):
I think that's when you give a living quality to
a non living or is it just a human quality?
What does Gorman want to say? Well, okay, it says
to your daddy the guinea pig things. That's damn well.
I think that they all think they are my kids. Yeah,
more my kids than a real kid one dad. There's

(46:23):
so many of me and my brothers and sisters that
I think that you forget about some of us, specifically Stephen.
I don't think Gorman would be that concerned about you.
It probably doesn't care Steen. Uh. First of all, very
impressive that you wrote this down. I have only gotten.
But I have to ask, uh, what you've written here
is what you think the guinea pigs want to say

(46:45):
to your father? Um? Well, yeah, okay, so why don't
you just tell your father what you're feelings? Creative? But
but I see what you're honestly the only things at
the end, it's signed upy Gorman, and I guess I
could have assigned it myself. Dad. I think that there's
so many guinea pigs and you've only got so much love,

(47:10):
enough love to go around for every one. That's what
it feels like. Mom says that this is going to
be the end of your guys thing in that where
I'm going to be, Well, you're going to be right
here in the guineas. I don't meet. It's a little unorthodox.
I don't mean to go with it. I you guys
know I'm good in my hands, right, I build it.

(47:32):
But yeah, you're a builder of a builder. Yeah, I've
built this little what's the word called when together make

(47:52):
a yee sound. I built this guillotine. And I think
it's important for you to off what the no that
you don't feed them for a couple of days. They
will eat the young. It's important that I don't. I'm

(48:13):
on the record is saying no thanks. One guinea pig
at random always been very jealous of it too much.
That's the only one I feel attached to because we've
been talking about it so much that which one? Which
one do you feel comes in between your you and

(48:36):
your husband's relationship? Well, I think Steve hit it. That
performed biblical Yeah, I have the father um killed the
son that he really loves to save the son that's
really his son, and that's from that is that is
what were those brothers, oh Abraheim and Elisha. If you

(49:02):
love your son, kill my son. Well you know, I'll
leave it up to you. You can kill either either
or Steve. I'm gonna kill Steve. I'm sorry, son is
just too You'll have to do something else. Can cut off.

(49:30):
You're never gonna have a meaningful relationship with that without
a finger to bang, or maybe before you come back
to work at the bank. You see, what's happened here
is your family loves you so much they went ahead
and provided you an example of just how out of
proportion the problem is. You've just chosen to kill your
own flesh and blood before one of your forty seven

(49:50):
or seventy three guinea pigs. I just feel like this
is something that my real family would never do to me.
Wait a minute, which family are all humans? Right? And
that concludes the guinea pig wars? Poor Gorman? Uh yeah,

(50:20):
I'd like to think that Steve grew up to be
a hell of a banker banger. Also, let's thank your
commissition no particular order, um, Chris Alvarado. Yeah, you're welcome.
