Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to another episode of Alchemy. This I'm your guests,
Cool Stratton in from KP who is frolicking in nature
currently must meet our alchemist Shelley and no particular order.
Say hello to Jackie Ganzellas to Ruthie. Jackie, what movie
do you wish never existed? You could erase it from
being a film? Oh? You know, I recently watched Battlefield
(00:23):
Earth and I love a bad movie. I love to
laugh at a bad movie. But I couldn't. I could laugh,
I would erase half of the movie. I would keep
all of John travel to like maniacal laughing, but I
gotta get rid of everything else. It was hard. It
was a tough watch. Somehow that would make more sense
if you did that in the movie. I think, I
(00:44):
think so, Yeah, I agreed. Hey, Next up, it's Chris Alvarado. Everybody, Chris,
if you could visit any fictitious place, where would you go? Heaven,
God TROVERSY know he would have gotten there, but it
(01:04):
would have taken him seven to ten minutes, right right, Okay?
Then alright? Next up it's Craig Kakowski. Craig, if you
were to play baseball professionally, what would your walk up music? Um,
I think I'd start playing Seven Nation Army, uh, you know,
(01:28):
which is so great song with so cliche at this point,
and then have it segue into uh Napoleon the four teens,
They're coming to take me away. I love it. My
softball team years ago, for like a couple of games,
we did walk up music, and of course, being a smartass,
I just did skin him Ranky Dink from Sharon Lawison Brown.
(01:51):
Really get some that. I did Iron and Wine. The
next week I walk up music Iron. It was fun. Alright. Guys, say, hello,
did James Ceney? James Ceney, what's the most valuable collectible
you own, either emotionally or actual monetary value? Well, it's
my collectible? Like what does that? What does that exactly mean? Like?
(02:14):
I use everything I have. It's not like packaged. It's
something that So if I'm collectible, I guess I have
there's a video game called Don't Starve, and I have
the artist his strong picture of me. I might be
able to read it reach it right here, So I
guess this is kind of like a collectible. Uh. But
(02:39):
but otherwise I don't I don't have collectibles. You don't
have a single like Funko Pop. You have nothing. No, Actually,
the truth is is the only collectibles like that I have.
I I stole doing the Neurology show with you, Cole,
So I do I think it's a fallout. I think
it's a fallout bubble head. Uh. Finally, last, but not last,
(03:03):
Joey Greer, Joey, we all heard that you got cut
from the USA Olympic team. What happened? Well, I know
that everyone's first thought is gonna be the drug test,
and uh, that's not what it was at all. I
actually started growing bones, and the Olympic committee at large
(03:24):
decided that that was somehow an advantage, even though the
bones were actually hindrance because now I have new bones
and I got like new I guess appenages coming out
of my rib cage. And no, it's not like Goro
from Mortal Kombat. I'm not gonna have, you know, two
sets of arms extra but I don't know what they'll be. Uh,
and they do hinge like the dog's legs, so you know,
(03:45):
like the haunches of a dog. So I'm not a
hundred and ten percent about what's going on physically, but
I do think the Olympic Committee as a whole needs
to rethink how they handle people with growing bones out
of the ribs. That makes sense. It could be a
quat know you should look into that could be that,
(04:06):

be honest with you, all right, Lewis, we sell drugs here.
This is a doctor's office. Taylor as your lawyer, I
(10:35):
don't know if you can put out this song. You know,
it's pretty explicit about real people. Yeah, but it's my
life experience. It's my experience, and I'm the one doing
the hardcore drugs in the song, So I don't feel
like I'm really outing anyone else. More negative mentioned Dr
You mentioned Dr Roberts by by Robert the third and
then I give his address because I do want people
(10:57):
to know because it's a pretty generic so so it's
just a total and complete docent. But how do they know?
You know, think about how many people out there are
named Dr Robert. There have to be so many, so
they won't know exactly who unless I give the specifics.
And then you mentioned your other doctor, doctor feel Good,
real real guy, and hem, yeah, he was a big problem,
(11:19):
so I needed to address it. Hi, doctor feel Good.
My girlfriend brought me here. She thinks I'm I'm not well,

up on the on the little thing there and uh,
you know, put this robe on. I just want you

somehow the word got out there that this Denny's has
just a good parking lot for for impromptu bare knuckle fights.

let me see our profile. You go, Okay, five two
pounds reach of un Here's Ultimate Molle I think you

bus bus Uh just looking over the uh the data
(28:15):
today for what I do here at Tinder, you know,
UM came across something interesting. I don't want to take
up any of your time. You're looking at the data
of what we do here at Tender. Yeah, it was
I not allowed to do that. So you've you've seen
inside yes, yeah, okay, I didn't. When I knew that
(28:37):
you guys were doing fighting, I was like, that doesn't
make sense. And then when I looked at the data
that of fight close, close the door, close the door,
that of fights end in a romantic match. Yeah, yeah, shit,
I know. I know it's perfect. It's perfect. Americans can't
(29:01):
express love unless it's through anger. It's amazing. I mean,
the data was always there for us, always, always. We
should know how to tap into. Greg. I'm not switching
sections with you, Okay, I'm not switching sections. Look, I
just have a lot of two tops, and those two
tops are usually two people who are gonna fight each
(29:22):
other for whatever reason. I don't do I don't understand why.
You know. I have section three, the non fighting section.
I've had it for years I have seniority. I'm not switching.
We would be fair for me because the non fighting
sections just spoils. Like once I'm off on Tuesdays, you know,

(35:45):
it for you, all right, bought of your gut off.
This is to be a subway. Now I'm the bread squad.
That seems oh man, so many different storylines converging, like
Magnolia Number three is from Patreon alcmaniac Mike Delasso, who wrote, Okay, okay,
(36:15):
how about this one? The Island of Dr Moreau, but
not that doctor paging Dr Grier. You have a telephone
call at the front desk. Okay, yeah, so that's pretty chill.
I mean the island at large is uh, it's large. Yeah,
and islands for the most part of been getting pretty
a creepy reputation because all those creepy billionaires. But this
(36:39):
is not like that. This is all just where. It's
not creepy at all. We're getting animals and humans and
we're spicing them. So can you hold on? Who was
I talking to? I'm looking at I have a fisting
with Alva for herst first, thank you, thank you. I mean,
I am Taylor so good god, um yeah, could you
(37:02):
fix my face? I came all the way to this
island because I got a botched what should have been
a facial. It was a bunch of yeah fillers and
you crazy. We could do something, you know what, you
know what I could do. I don't know if I
could take anything out from the looks like the left
side of your your cheek is huge. But what I
(37:22):
could do, I could I could get like a rhino
or something like that and get like start building on
like a rhino side to the right. You know. So
it kind of brings me back to that. I was
going to ask, I know, if it's very ethical, but
you're doing on the island, well, well you can afford it.
I just don't know if you should do that. Okay, Noted,
(37:43):
I I hear you. But you know, well, well we're
still we're doing it, so you know, I get that.
We definitely talked about the ethics and all that. We
actually had the board of Sam Goody come over here
and discussed, like, you know, I don't know what they
would say about this. They they don't have much in
the science and health world. They primarily do with music. Yeah,
(38:04):
i'd argue that science and health there. Do you think
music is sound science? I don't know, man, no one's
coming to the island and doctor feel good. Maybe it's
a failure of advertising match imagination. I gotta senior frogs.
I don't know what to do. Guys, you have any ideas?
You're the board of Sam Goody. Oh my god, everyone's
(38:27):
having a stroke Taylor. When I heard you were getting
a rhino plastic, I thought you were just getting a
routine nose job, but you actually had a rhinos horn
affixed to your face. And don't you feel William that
nothing is going to make my newest album, Skyrocket more
(38:48):
than this new look. No one else looks like this. Yeah,
I mean I I mean, you're talented, you're a great singer, great, right,
but I have a yeah, yeah, you're dead. You dead.
Your looks are a component of your repeal though, I mean,
(39:10):
I hope that's not you know, reductive to say that,
But but now you've got a freaking rhino horn coming
out of your face. It's just a new look to
go with a new sound, you know, Like I went
from folks ty like French braids, curly banks, and now
I mean, your voice is gonna be more nasal, so
it might be more of a folksy Bob Dylan kind
(39:32):
of thing going on. Could be, I just want to
move forward with my career. In my face, dr career.
The dolphins are like, they're not as cute as nice
as they used to be. It's hard to grab them,
it's hard to operate on them. It's spring here from
the uh yeah, yeah, we gotta get it. We gotta
(39:56):
get more water there in a pond. I mean I've
been saying that for a while. We gotta get That's
why the agrad is a little bit. I mean it's
a pond. Excuse me, you you dr Greer? Yeah, what's up. Hey,
we're the guys from Imagine Dragons. We heard what you
did to Taylor Swift and we were wondering if you
could make us into dragons so people don't have to
(40:18):
imagine it anymore. That's pretty good. Yeah, oh yeah, we're
gonna cut the imagine out of our name and just
be dragons. That's what's up. Or you can actually be
real dragons. Wait wait, wait, what you know some of
Imagine dragons you can be real. We don't have we don't.
We don't have dragons. No, then we'll get some. We'll
get some Komodo dragons. Okay, okay, wait wait wait I
(40:39):
heard what you said. Komodo dragons are not the same
thing fantastic dragon. St Saint Gregory. But look, this is
what we can do, all right, this is what we
can do. We can get some komotos all right. We
can get the backs of them so they have little bumpies, right,
and then we can start. We can start guard Zilla
in you out, you know, I mean, so a little
building build into that, right and then and then right,
(41:01):
trust me on this. Feel my vision, feel my vision. Well,
there are five of us to start with the drummer.
If it doesn't go well, just move up the rhythm section. Okay, okay, right, easy, easy, okay,
who's the drummer. Wait a minute, I'm the I'm the drummer.
Come with me, Come with me. No, no, no, that
was not content. Come on, come on, but go with me.
It's fine. It's Trevor. Good. Look alright, Trevor, how are

tied me to this chair. Good God, what the fund
is that Okay, we don't have I can't find come on,
come on, and as much smaller. That's a much smaller lizards.
I got a pig in any wanna pig. I'm not
(41:47):
imagine pigs. Okay, okay, uh Trainer, what was your name, Trevor? Okay, listen,
this is what we're gonna do. But we got a
lot more surface area on the pig, so you're gonna
be a little bit more pig than you're gonna be iguana.
Because do you think his name is trainer? I don't
know what his name is. I'm a doctor, all right, Okay, okay, great, okay, great,
(42:08):
let's just agree. Let's just agree, and let's just say
your name is um. Let's make up my name. It's
easier to say, how about um kuala koalaka? My name
is that Koala? It's Trevor Is. I've got a mother
who loves me and it doesn't want my face to
get to get me a pig and the iguana all
over it. It's gonna get all over it. It will
(42:28):
be it. Tever Man, we gotta kick you out of
the band. You can't keep rhythm of those little pig
hoofs for hands. Before. No, it's pretty bad man, and
we're not calling you koala. It makes no sense. Whatso
(42:50):
he is that you mother? It's is this? Alright? I
hate pigs. I hate Look, I'm as much iguana as
(43:11):
I am big. I mean, there's a lot more pig
than iguanator. It was gonna be a fifty split. Okay, alright,
just pick up the sticks and play. Don't worry about it. Yes,
our last drummer was turned into a pig iguana hybrid
and shot by his mother in horror. But just try
to keep the rhythm. We'll start with radio actors. So
(43:32):
we don't know if I can bro. You need some confidence.
We're taking you to the island of Dr Gray. He'll
give you some confidence. Let's get the private plane boys,
it's true. Touchdown all right? Oh okay, everyone, alright, thank
god we landed. There is something that's horribly wrong with
this plane, alright, just so we know mechanically, there's something
(43:54):
horribly wrong with this plane. I don't know if we're
gonna be able to take off again, all right, So
we're gonna have to hold him down here in the island.
Why is that? What the hell is that? So the
cat helped me out. Here is this say, now, come on?
Oh god, it's not even working. Everything's fucking this plane. Fuck,
oh god, I'm gonna die. Relax, Relax, relax. Okay, someone's
(44:18):
at the plane door. Let me open it up here.
Wha welcome? Well, my god, yeah, sorry about that is
uh it's a new uh new person. I splice stuff.
(44:39):
So I didn't know you guys have been here before.
So let's get to it. Okay, Yeah, I don't. I
don't think I'm actually down for any um. I heard
that you turned somebody into a pig iguana. I'm kind
of like, I really need you want to do for no, no, no,
I need to like really be human and kind of
working on my humanity in fact most of the time
(45:02):
most of the time. Okay, I'll write that down. Yeah.
I use my hands a lot for drumming, but also
for steering a car eating. Uh's like, b I don't.
I don't really want to be spliced with. Okay, Well,
I don't think humanity has It's like what they're talking
about using your hands. Yeah, it's kind of like humanity.
It's like what makes me human? Right? Yeah? Again, I
(45:25):
think people A lot of people argue just being able
to use your hand doesn't make you human. No, no,
but I kind of them attached to that experience really
rather not. Oh yeah, if you want to do something
with hands, we can. We can do home. But I
think hands really I used the drumstill, like what something
(45:45):
they can hold drumsticks? Something can hold drumsix. Hey, maybe
I'm just interjecting. Here are plants kind of fun. So
if you could, I don't know, fly some with something
that could fly like that actual dragon, then we can
all get home a lot fast. Out there. That's just
a dragon. We don't have any dragon spots. Well, what
we can we can get it. We can get some
Komodo dragons, all right, I heard that that's not the
(46:09):
same thing. That's just the same. Best we can do
as an ostrich What about pigs that we had a pigs. No.
I like to thank my manager, William, my family, and
my friends who all stood by me. And by friends,

the thing I want. I do have one questions, just
not too much trouble. Well, well, we're on the island,
but I just don't know if we should make it
less forever. The maybe you can, but this is that
(49:34):
the very best idea to do that? Um well, early
harsh in the vibe of the island. Bro, We're on
island time, man. We're not asking ethical questions, you know.
I'm just trying to say that are sometimes you don't
want it to be hot and have you ethically thought about?
(49:54):
But then not, this is the way it should be,
like what if I don't know, what if you alrighty
trying a guy trying to but I've got a horn
of a rhino where my cheek should go for even

to the artists. But like, dude, I mean, no, dude,

be a small island a mile and a half away.
If we can maybe swim it or make a float
or a raft to get off this island? Yeah? This big?
I just you want to go to a smaller island.
I mean I want to find people civilization on a
small round alright, five six, seven eight. Take your head

and just yeah, I can't quite do I dame used
to be doing. Oh man, I'm I can't get the regium.
(53:15):
I got this the tiniest island I've ever seen in
my life. But it's not even enough space for both
of us. Man, what do you mean more people who
are going to be here? I didn't know. I just
saw there was a land mass, and I decided that
maybe you would be a good idea. How did we
burn the boats? Why didn't we burn? Was ceremonial. We
found this place, we were excited. What what brings it
to ship? I guess I got from Pocalypse? Now, what's
(53:39):
his name? I'll give you three I'll give you three guests. Charleston.
Is that it? Charleston Heston? Well, Charles Heston wasn't matter.

hold on at let's talk. Okay, who does he remind
you of? Like what movie? Bruce Willis William? Yes, yeah,
I gotta get away. I gotta get away. Well, you've
worked hard, You've worked hard. I've heard that Joe Peshi
(54:24):
is on his own tiny island. It's had an island
custom made for his size. Yes, I want to do that.
I want to get peshed out and on my own island.
I don't want to share it with Joe. I've had
a weird experience with him in the past, right right,
(54:45):
in that one movie you made, in that one movie
I made. Okay, Taylor, take a look around. Um, it's
a seven tree three coconut island. Um, it's you know,
it's nice. Tides come in like regular. Um, great, great
view of nothing. Um, take a look at Army offices
for you. Um. I just I really wanted a small island.
(55:10):
I like the size of this island, but I wanted
there to be Luck's accommodations as well, because I'm not
just going to be here vacationing. Um, after like a
month of chill axing, I will be recording here as well.
I understand. Look, look who it is. Look, Cleo's coming
to my island. I didn't under Joe. I didn't think
(55:30):
this was your island. I knew that your I knew
you had an island, but I didn't know this was
your If I knew that this was your specific island,
I wouldn't I would not have come here. So it
makes sense with these nons. Was up, Taylor? What are
you doing here? Hey? How's it going good? Yeah? I
(55:52):
did the rhino plastic. Oh the dr great rhino face.
Rhino face. Okay, let's not call it rhino face. It's
rhino Steve, thank you, thank you, Dr Greer. I'm sorry, Taylor,
do you want to buy this? I mean not if
it's just putting in a bid too. He's a guy's
(56:14):
alan crazy, so just you know, turning it out there.
So was it the street car that was named that?
Or was someone else names are? I don't understand when
am I cloud? I'm head of a meal show. I'm
just asking you brought this up earlier. I don't know
how you were talking about. I'm just coming around back
to the conversation, like I was just trying to drop hands,
(56:35):
all right, and you were not picking up on the hands.
I don't know what. Look, I got it wrong. Okay,
you're Joe Pesci. I don't want to share the island
with anybody. I wanted to be more of like a
home alone situation where I'm home alone on the island,
but the wet bandits are and the oscar goes to
(57:00):
Heshi first for all back. Joe. Oh wow, that was
my pleasure. Thank you? Okay? I trained them turned down
for what reason? What? Why did you drink? Joe PESHI?
I thought that was the deal. What do you mean
we just Oh my god, Oh my god, I'm high.
(57:22):
I'm high, alright, I oh my God, I don't know.
I give you a couple of pills and you drink
just to commune down. And that's our show. Everybody, somebody
islands so little time. Thank you to alost. See what
they're up to, Craig Kikowski. What's their plan to extract
(57:45):
these celebrities after tranking them while getting their awards the
best time? Millions of people on life TV um Man.
If you have not seen that documentary about the making
of the Marlon Brando Island of Dr Moreau, uh it is.
(58:08):
It is a must see. It's about how the guy
who was directing was fired and then too yeah wow,
oh no, he was taken over by Frankenheimer. Richard Stanley
was the guy. So I'm trying to find out the
name of this documentary, but I have nothing to do
(58:28):
with any but but you should see that and our
Our Lost Soul, The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island
of Dr Moreau is the movie you should see. There's
a frank and Hammer was cluttered as saying Roy Rodgers
never met him, and he didn't like Roy Rogers never
met Val kilmer m because they had a real hard
(58:49):
time on that set. Uh, James Deanney, Well, thank you
for having me today. I would just like to say,
if you want to contact me, one great way is
through reviews, because I've been contacted and the review title
of this five star reviews unbelievable. Just like the intro music,
this is pure class, difficult to listen to average material.
(59:12):
After enjoying this jump and this is from Sarah and
Evan via Apple Podcast, I would argue that both of
them could have made their own if they really care.
You know, you don't need to share a review. But
I mean it's a great one, but who was it really?
Shar is there from Evan? I think that each of
(59:33):
them should have Ye, Sarah and or Evan is going
to come back with a one star Chris Alorado. Yeah,
Jackie was saying don't bite the hand, and I was thinking,
don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Interesting, but
I guess those both kind of work And for more
introspective thoughts like that, to check out The Comedy Fix,
(59:56):
where we just question everything. It's a podcast where we
question every thing you've ever known or thought you knew
about performance and comedy. Check it out The Comedy Fixed.
Bye Bye, Nice Jackie Gonzalez de Ruthie, thank you for
having me. Um, this was a this is a grand
old time. I'm at Jackie Druthy on on really Instagram.
(01:00:17):
My gosh, I'm so inactive on Twitter though I have
an account. Um and that's that. And you can you
can leave me a review in tandem if you want.
I won't tear you down for it. Oh, thank you
