Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to another episode. Welcome this. I'm your host,
Kevin Pollock. Guess that Kevin Pollock? What's that? Yes, today,
as we're recording, this is October, which is my birthday.
Thank you all for your gifts. I especially enjoyed the
chocolate moist masal. That was very thoughtful and creative. And

(00:24):
you're welcome. Didn't actually happen, but I do have a
birthday card from all of my alchemists. It was handed
to me by Chris never right, So I'm gonna open
and it says Kevin on front, so that's yours. Yeah,
where only Chris wrote in it and signed it because
it's so funny. But you made it look like Oliver

(00:47):
wrote my name, So that's good. And the card, uh,
it says hip Hip hooray on the front, so I
think it's sincere and celebratory. And then you it says
it's her birthday today. So this chosen by Oliver as well. Yeah,
but wait, what's written in here is very very personal.

(01:09):
So I'm not going to read it now because I
Chris and I have a very special connection. I don't
think it's anybody's business. Hey, if you want to go alright, Hi, Kevin.
That's ironic that today is your birthday and you are
a gift. Thank you for being so much to so many.
Thank you for your encouragement and believe in me when

you are a star. I guess that's what makes you
a rock star. Wow, I'm about a third of the
way through. Well, my paragraph is the next one. Above all,
please know that the way you live your life is
an awesome example to those of us who don't have

(01:51):
many awesome examples. Looking at you for a reason. I
love you too much. I love you, buddy car. We
agonized over the wording of that for so long, but
I'm glad that we arrived at that. I think I
munched it up. You punched it up nice. And the

(02:11):
choice of just Chris's last name as a sign, that's
all our letters in it. So that's why Hello, he
got the date right, that's the magical part. A lot
of people make that mistake. They don't put the right
dat on. Thank you, of course, thank you, And now
I'm gonna open up the other gifts from the other Alchemist.

saying decns de hints yeah, and we just can't stop

giggling at decans. Yeah. So I have nothing to do
with New Zealand. UM, with only my partner to hear
my laughters, I listened to your show. He also works

first one comes from Emily, who wrote, Dear Alchemists, I've
listened to every pod. You're also talented, and I am
so thankful for your hilarity. I don't laugh out loud often,

(08:31):
but when I do, it's thanks to alchemy this. I
was so shocked to hear my name uh and alchemy

drop off pod. I felt dizzy snapped me right out
of my concentration at work and made me giddy. It's
surprised and delighted me so much. I wrote a high coup,

more high coups. Yes, enjoy I just reading what she wrote,
Enjoy Alchemists. It goes thus like Kevin's calming voice sharing
my podcast review, dizzing surprise. After listening to her review
a second time, I realized remembered it was James Heeney

our Lord and Savior is not you. You take that back,

own You're now well, I don't know, started off with
that state discussion you had earlier and made me think
about the bigger picture here. My pupils are doing the
thing where they're eating my eyeballs. That just means you're

(26:05):
in the zone. Principal principle, With all due respect, we
will not stop doing what it is we're doing, which
is just praying. I know that you kids are not
smart or widely enough to acquire these drugs. I have
reason to believe this goes straight to the top. God, No,

(26:28):

the bed is playing. Sadly, that doesn't count for the
actual competition. M A will be disqualified saying fucking seats. Well,
I guess we'll let you down, Principal Principle. We lost
the state final finals. No, you kids are the best

(28:22):

Put your face in the thing I can't I can't reach. Okay, here,

(34:39):
come back, come three hundred. We lost our holy ship
having an angel next lunch brunch, that's into before we

(35:09):
get to our final scene. Here's an email I wanted
to read. It's from a new patron, Alcolmaniac, the top
tier twenty dollar supporter. Hi there, I'm a big fan
of the show, and I just became a Patreon supporter
because that was the least I could do for all
the funny you guys provide. Anyways, I had a quick question,
is there anywhere specific that I can go to leave

(35:32):
the show a review? I listened to the show on Spotify.
I don't use a iPhone, which as far as I
can tell, doesn't have a review section for podcasts. I
also went to iHeart radio dot com and had no
luck in finding where to review there. I just love
the show and want to give you, guys so you
have a massive following that you all deserve. I will

(35:53):
shout my review from a Semitall hill. That's my favorite part.
If I have to, please let me know where I
can go to write a review immediately, because the guilt
that James Knee has given me has almost become unbearable.
Thanks for everything, Kevin Pray do so if he's on Spotify,
what would you suggest? Well, I don't like I've been
put a little on the spot Because I read the

(36:15):
reviews that are aggregated. I believe most of them come
from Apple iTunes. I don't know for sure. I think
you can review through Stitcher. I think you can review
through munch, but the ones that seem to affect us
the most are the ones from Apple like it or not,
but you could do that from us. Like it or not.
I don't like Apple. I'm so sorry, but that is

(36:38):
right to us. Again at your name here at Alchemy
this dot com review the show, and then James will
post it in your name on iTunes if you if
you're on you don't think, if you're on Spotify, if
you the little heart liking that, and then just also
the streams just put it on in the background. That helps.
That's like a big Spotify thing for us. But also
I think you can sign it on any computer into iTunes.

(36:58):
I don't think couple library, Yeah, public library, go for it. Well,
we've given whatever were capable of. Craig, did you have
a last one? A little follow up? No, I'm good, Okay?
Do you have actual advice that our final scene is
from Jet who wrote Dear Alchemists. Every morning I listened

(37:20):
to you on my walk to and from school. I
often have to stop myself from laughing like a maniac
has to avoid seeming mad while listening to you. Guys,
all of your voices have unique characters in my head,
except James, whose character always looks like James. My scene

How's that milk bill coming? When do we get our
chalk milk? When do we get our chalk milk? When

(40:26):
we get this is what's insane your face. The government
was so crumbled and woken and busted that we found
a loo bole and the kids we joined the government.
And that's on you in your generation and the boomers too.
So there's a statute in the constitution. You have to
be at least thirty statute. There was invisible ink. If

(40:47):

the founding kid founders, the founding kid fathers, that's right,
put invisible in the constitution and we found it stupid
George Washington's son, no kid person. I understand that the

(41:50):
eco friendly. Do you know what you're talking about. It's
just we don't think it's smartd to raise a giant
umbrella over the entire earth to block the sun's race. Okay,
but who's doing something about climate change? That's what I
was trying to say the president is you are, Okay,
so I guess another thing. Just give me. Don't know
what it was trying nothing, and so now we're doing

(42:11):
stuff and you're gonna complain it's just a giant umbrellas.
Doesn't seem like it's going to help. What does seem
like it's going to help? Don't ask me. I didn't
even know what the word was. We're closing down a
lot of actually this week. Also that's a great step.
We're going to make them all bouncy houses. Yeah, and

want someone to pay for this, I wish. Okay, what
do you want to do because you have an alley.
I want this guy here to punch myself in a face. Well,
I'm not going to do that. Punch yourself in your face,

(42:58):

(43:21):
So his heart's in the right place. I'm missing the tooth.
Oh my god, you are. I had to pledge myself
in the face today, Martha. You didn't have to do that.
Listen to me. There's a revolutionary broing. Okay, really, me
and everyone else who's over the age of eighteen, we're
having tonight. I don't think everybody showing up. No, I

(43:44):
turned night. So I mean, we all know what we're here. Yeah,
this kid exactly. We hate fucking kids, all right, hold
like that? Holy shit? Yeah, holy sh it. Yeah, anyway,
fuck so yeah, we just we don't like this kid,
right right, and kids in general, yeah right, but we

(44:06):
want to stay young at hard, so let's we gotta
do some We gotta some crazy all right? Well, aren't
there more people? Here? Was a Facebook post last minute?
So how are you still on Facebook? So freaking I
get them doing like some fun up stuff, but it's
a really great way to being president. Just does TikTok
and it's working really well for him. So he's working

(44:28):
with the Chinese government, not my president. All right, Now, look,
we gotta do something. And now, I mean, frankly, their
armies just a bunch of kids. We could probably just
tickle them from this disgusting let's perverted. What do you
mean you want to tickle kids? Do you mean? What's
wrong with you? Okay, here we go a second. A second,
We're not going to just run in there and tickle them.

(44:49):
Mean as opposed to, like, you know, inflicting actual harm
to these kids. I think that the harm is less
frightening than you, a grown man suggesting let's go tickle
all this time? Let me tick you feel I don't
you got wet hands? Man? I can see him from
here to claim me I have an anxiety issue and
I was wet too, So hey, not like that. Okay,
all y'all, let's keep it focusing. Okay, we hate kids,

(45:10):
all right, we hate kids. That's true. That did other
people leave? Look at this group of snigling cowards at
the former Secretary of State. I used to be the
Secretary of State, and I've got connections to the former
Navy seals, connection to the former na the ones that

(45:30):
sing sneveling, sniveling? Is that a word you've seen? Hi,
primp and maybe nonetheless secretary part of my group? Can
they kill the baby steals? No, they're going to kill

(45:51):
all the kids in the White House. Optics are not
going to look good at well, I guess tickling isn't
sounding such a bad idea. Steeds grow, it's weird, it's weird.
Can we just, uh, you know, when they're sleeping, put
bags over the heads. What if you put the time
put in time out, put him in time out? Can
we just put him in time out to kill them?

(46:13):
You should be the one to go in there and
put the kid president time out? Mama, mind go president?
Oh gosh, honey, that's a complicated question because everybody's mad
at me. You know, I feel like that a lot
of my days too, And honestly, you can just do
your best every day and trying to make the best
decisions I can, I know, babe, and you're doing a
pretty good job. But you just you're gonna learn every

(46:34):
