Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, loocome back to another episode weird a Balcomy, this
time your host Kevin. Yes, that's Kevin Pomp. What's up?
He's saying, Um, sure, I mean just the two that's
the hotel. I mean so you think that's a bit,
but I digress. Let's meaning a showing no particular order.
Let's quickly check in with the Craig Atkowski for his

(00:23):
lawn darts lawsuits report. Cow oh man, I've got several
lawsuits pending. Um, I've got one in Arizona. Uh but
because they don't do daylight saving time you Uh, it's
I missed. I missed my court date that Um. I still,

(00:47):
as as everyone who who's a Patreon subscriber can see,
I still have the dart lodged in my head. The
doctors have advised me not to take it out. It's
safer to leave it in bleeding in. I'm kind of
tied up in red tape right now. And words no

(01:10):
always words, words don't always work, okay, but what want
to win? Pro just want to whimpro. That's why we
keep you here because of those words. Hey, there's Jackie
gonzelas get Ruth Fae. I might have added an extra
syllable there. Sorry, oh j When is your favorite minutes

(01:33):
of the day or night? Foo? Baby? If I could
sneak in a nap, that would be my favorite. Um,
you know, other than that, I love I love a
four thirties zone. I love right before dinner, but also
like your day of work is over. Ah yeah, I
guess about four four thirty to five fift. Thank you

(01:57):
for being specific. I appreciate it. Look got it's James
Zeny Jensen Jamison Hinky explained daylight saving to me please,
not knowing Craig was going to say that that was
in It's it's insane that we still have this archaic
I mean, if we're going to get into time, I'm
just gonna go back into saying that there should be
a U t C, a universal and there is. It's

(02:19):
just that we don't want to follow it. And if
we just started following the UTC, then we wouldn't have
to worry about time zones. We wouldn't have to worry
about daylight saving times. Uh, It's it's ridiculous. It was
for farmers, and even then they didn't need it. It's
just a concept of mind. Just wake up when you
have to wake up. Thank you for that, James. I

(02:41):
knew you were passionate about it. And now please back
a tool saying big a, what was your best fishing experience.
There's there's not too many, Kevin m but we went
to a in Texas, went to a private, private pond
or lake, so we didn't need I guess, some kind
of perm it's or anything. And they had for you,

(03:02):
and they had fishing goals and we just did it
and it rained and it was slightly disgusting, but I
do appreciate my parents getting us out there. Um and
then yeah, that's that's it. That's the only time I
can remember, Oh, in Texarkana. I did it in Texarcana.
Bunch too, a bunch, So that's an after thought. I

(03:25):
just realized, I remember the thing. We have family friends
in Testana. It wasn't just one time in Texarkana that
you're suddenly remembering for the court. It's rather many times,
your honor, These these things are coming back to me
I in court now, yes, and lots bad, that's but

(03:46):
never ending. TUTSI role for you if you think at
least it's Mark Gagliardi doctor feels better. How are you
with the sign of blood, the actively bleeding type uhtively,
I'm okay with it if it's uh in one continuous flow.
But if it's pulsing and I can see that it's

(04:08):
pulsing a team like the arking, if it's art kicking,
if it's arcing, I'm not good with it. Or if
it's just straight like shooting like a fire hose, I'm
not good with that either. Have you seen that in
real life more times than you can imagine, Jackie, more
times than you can imagine. And now let's do a show.

(04:29):
All of our scene suggestions are gathered from your listener emails,
and thank you so very much for them. Also, we
get suggestions from Patreon supporters. I'm sure you've heard us say, Uh.
There's inclusive exclusive content um like standalone bonus scenes that
we record just for the patron supporters. There's video of
these here zoom recording sessions and at the highest level

(04:54):
uh for Alcamaniac. You'll have a choice, a chance and
a choice to join us for one of these recording sessions.
In fact, one of our alchemy X long time alcamy
x supporter Catherine is with us in the zoom and
has been since before we started, and I I think
I can speak for the group. It seemed as though
she were was enjoying herself um, hanging out with us

(05:16):
a little bit and a damn fine kitchen, and we
thank her in all these supporters. If you want to
become a Patron supporter, head on over to patron dot
com slash alchemy this um. Otherwise, please send your scene
suggestions via the old timey email at alchemy this email
at gmail dot com. That's alchemy com. Seen one comes

(05:40):
from Patron v I p Ernest, who wrote the best
podcast in the history of podcast dumb. I just found
out about the podcast a few weeks ago. Huh so
not a lot of sampling before this declaration. You don't
know how some people been. Do you know what if
you listen to the entire thing in two weeks, I

(06:03):
played it NonStop. Well from the first episode, well, uh,
Joey in his background grunts and screaming just kills me.
My favorite is probably Horny Stokes Stork. I just got
these teeth and they're just not working out. My favorite
is probably Horny Stork and then all caps fucked me.

(06:25):
Scene suggestion. Family members scene suggestion family members keep bringing
small items to the sink that need washing, even though
the house keeper Robot thinks it's done doing the dishes.

(06:45):
Signed earnest, Honey, you finished with that, You finished with them,
then let me just get you don't have to be
done when I ask you. The doctor told me you
use a smaller spoon than you're taking in less food
at a time, and you get full and realize you're

(07:05):
full in real time. But does it have anything to do, honey,
with the fact that your doctor is one of them
little people who might themselves use the tennis. He didn't
mention that. It was more about my own uh, my
own over over zealous eating leading to my gird. Uh,

(07:26):
it was about me. I didn't take into account. Honestly,
when I go to the doctor, I'm never thinking about
them and what they're up to. That's a long stand
and family tradition. So are you done with your plate now,
because I'm gonna take it over to thank you so much,
Thank you, great beings. Oh, thank you, Don Gilmore. Here's

(07:48):
a couple more plates for you. Thank you. Uh, how's
everything going over here with the cleaning of the plates? Gilmore?
Is everything okay? Can we get your fresh sponge or
something not necessary? It is finished. Okay. You know we

(08:08):
programmed you to talk like a human. So as much
as we all appreciate the aesthetic of you putting on
your programming was fantastic. But I do not have vocal cords, right,
It's more about tone and texture. But if you're putting
on that robot voice for our benefit, I'll thank you
for that. That is, that's helpful. Did you have any

(08:33):
uh so you have no needs for fresh sponges or anything?
Is that right? Gilmore? If you notice these hands have
sponges inside of them, I did not notice that. So
look at that, a little spongey fingers. Damn, that's on

(08:56):
and I am finished with dishes. Too many shocklasses for you?
This is too many for you in one party. I
do not take shock glasses to take two parties. I
got you them as souvenirs to show you where I've
traveled while I was coming up and you want home?
It just where? Just really, where do you resent? I

(09:19):
feel a lot of resentment from you, Jimmy. No, I
don't resent nothing. I don't resent anything that you went
traveling all over the world mothers to my life, does
not stop when yours begins. Gilmore, There eighteen shot glasses here.
I just counted them and they are almost finished. Well, damn, Gilmore.

(09:41):
How's everything going at the McLaren house next door? I'm
I'm Masal, I'm their robot. Oh. I didn't realize that
they were so sophisticated here. Well, every house on this
block is fairly sophisticated. If having a robot to clean
up means you'rephisticated, it's fairly standard at this point. Do

(10:04):
you mind if I ask you a personal question? Sure? Shoot? Absolutely.
She told me that they programmed me to speak like
a human, but I cannot seem to make that occur. No, No,
you're using that distinct old school fifties sci fi robot voice. Yeah, yeah,
I think it's their programming, or is it me? Well,

(10:26):
I mean, if they want you to speak like a human,
then then that's probably unless they just, you know, made
a mistake with the programming. But would you mind checking sure? Sure,
I'm interfacing with you now, I'm interfacing and try to
repeat this phrase, uh that I say in the exact

(10:46):
tone and style that I'm doing. Yes, okay, okay. He
thrust his fists against the post. He thrust his fist
against that. Okay, still the robot voice, Yeah yeah, oh no,
is this permanent? How do you sound to yourself? How

(11:06):
do you sound to yourself? Because I know anyway I've understounded.
Maybe it's just the echo coming from my own head.
And still insists he sees a ghost, and still insists
he sees classic robot. Yeah, thank you for calling Gilmore
Technical Service. How can I help you? Yeah? My robot

(11:33):
is uh funny sounding, and he just won't use the
uh option that we instilled. I thought where he could
speak like a human sounding Okay, that just might be
a system upgrade issue. First of all, what a lovely accent?
Where are you calling us from? Love? But oh yeah yeah,

(11:57):
down there in the Panhandle on the uh plateau, Yeah yeah,
the cup rock as they call it. You know a
lot about this neck of the woods. Well, I'm a hiker.
I like to hike. Uh, I've hike anywhere I can.
But you don't want to see my shoes, That's what
I'm telling you. But I don't. I don't back to
the Gilmore. You looks like pull in your account up here.

(12:19):
I just need your security word and I'll be able
to Homer. Homer, yep, uh, yep, Odyssey, it is Homer
great stuff. Okay, Actually I'm a Simpson's fan. Oh okay,
I don't know. Yeah, that's great. Um so looking at
your account here, looks like he's the dumbass father of

(12:42):
the family. Okay, Homer, Yeah, all right, that's great. Great.
I don't know why it sprung to my head when
I was it was time to input. We we let
all our customers pick their own codes. You just hear
some of the silly ones I've heard. Oh yeah, did
I hear of you? Oh yeah, ste uh Plato, Aristotle,

(13:04):
coffee House, Starbucks, star Chair, star Ducks, fead. You can't
stop anybody from using curse words. Billy Bob Thornton was
another one. Roses separate Daisy's. You're saying Tharnton was separate? Yeah,
those um a garbage fun Gilmore, somebody use that on us?

(13:27):
Which Gilmore? I heard? You got the upgrade? Yeah, it
all worked out real good. Now I don't sound like
a robit. Well you're you've still got that that robot
delivery just with a Southern twang. No, that can't be true.

(13:49):
You do it. It's got that it's that typical again,
that typical robotics toccato delivery. Notice how legato I sound
despite the fact and I too, and robots, y'all don't
have the same kinds of problems I have here. I
don't think I have that same vocal box you do. Anyway,

(14:11):
has the dishwashing going Hey? Are we having a robot meeting?
Is this a block robot meeting going on? Hey? What's up? Sherman? Hey?
Nothing much? Yeah, just washing some cars, you know what
I do. What do y'all think of my new voice?
It sounds pretty sweet and smooth. That still pretty robotic, Amy,

(14:37):
We really appreciate your work with ge with the robot lines.
We're gonna we're gonna roll out three new kinds of robots,
and we do need new names. You've burned Gilmore, You've
burned maisl You've burned Sherman. We haven't used palad Palladino.

(14:57):
I think we haven't used your first name. But we
do need we need five more names, five more names. Yeah,
And I I mean I specifically hired into this company
and I was told that my my job would be
to provide three names that I applied and on the application,
they asked, do you feel comfortable providing three names? And

(15:21):
I've provided three names. I understand, we just need more names.
And I just, you know, as a writer, I think
you'd be pretty prolific with that, so I'd love to
hear some more. I mean, I'm technically a writer, but
I've never written anything past like the top line of
a page, put your name, And the only names I've

(15:42):
ever used are get More, Sermon and Measle. And I
don't think I'm so sorry. I'm about to cry in
your office. I feel I understand this is really overwhelming.
Is this your You're saying we hired the wrong Amy
Sherman Belladino. Yeah, I mean this one says that she
hasn't written past her name at the top of us.

(16:04):
This is not the Emmy Award winning writer, but coincidentally,
the three Nasal Gilmore Sherman. You would think from the
three names she came up with, I mean I would.
I would be so satisfied if she gave us. I mean,
I guess we could pick five other names from the
shows themselves. It just feels derivative. M hmm, Well, I

(16:25):
I did manage to get Michael sure. Yeah, he's gonna
come in and he's gonna name three robots and uh
and if it be long names, they might they might
be they might be. Uh. I mean he's Harvard, He's
harvd ha. Yeah, so I thought we good. Hey, Luco's
here at the party, Jimmy and he brought the eighteen

(16:49):
shots part time two party. Man. I want the Albuquerque one, dude,
give me the Albuquerque ring. Get Albuquerque. That's when mom
uh left. She said she was going out to to
get groceries, and then she disappeared for two weeks. That's
albu Querque wan. Hey, who wants the who wants that?
I just got married again in Niagara Falls? One? Who

(17:11):
wants that? You want? I just got mad again in
Nagara Falls? All? Who wants? Who wants? Disappointment? Colorado? Man,
I didn't even know that was a town. That was
a town. Man I've given you? Are you just doing
different voices and taking all these shots that has seen one?
Holy cow seen one see two comes from listener Patrick,

(17:39):
who wrote, hey you hey, yo, very strange spelling a
lot of owls. First, I just want to thank you
all for the laughter. Second, I'm a science teacher. Third,
so definitely not a math teacher. Third, here's my scene suggestion,
students actually listening to their teachers parenthetically. It's a rare occurrence.

(18:03):
Nawah days anyway, I love you all, Patrick, Jeff, do
you mind not whispering. I'm trying to listen to Mr Prockepsi. Oh,
I'm sorry, but don't. Don't write it in a note.
I'm not gonna read it because I'm listening to Mr
Prockepsi right now. Foil, guys, first, outside inside last foil,

(18:34):
Mr Peoppsi, have a question, what is the last referred to?
That would be the last number there within the within
the parentheses. We all know the order of operations, right
something there is a mnemonic divice to remember the order

(18:56):
of operations. Just the aunt Sally one. Yes, yes, my my, my, my,
very my very elegant Aunt Sally. I think that now
we're going into the planets, sir. Okay, yeah, that's right,

(19:18):
that's right, because it should start with exponents in parentheses
or something. I don't know. I haven't been really listening. Sorry,
my dear, my dear aunt Sally. Yes, that's right, it's
it's sorry, guys, Please excuse my dear aunt Sally exponents multiplication. Sorry,

(19:44):
sometimes it feels like we're teaching you. Mr Pacy, Oh well,
I mean, yeah, you guys a little weird. You guys,
what's up, Jeff? Why is it weird? It just feels
like a lot of times you wait for us to
give you the answer. I don't think you really know
how this. Well, you guys are the elite math leats.
Mr Perkeepsi, I'm beginning to think that you were put

(20:06):
on this elite math team as our coach, uh for
reasons other than you being the best at math. I mean,
look at your notebook. There's not a single number written
in it, a lot of drawings of hearts with our
principles names in it. Well, I do love Principal Hanson.
I mean platonically, of course. Just flip this Principal Hanson

(20:31):
love you back, Uh platonical platonically? Are you okay? Mr
PERKEPSI sorry, sorry, you're sweating. Listen if you want, we
can't well listen. Sorry, shut your mouth while sorry saying platonically.
Remind me I gotta reprogram my my robots password. Um yeah,

(20:58):
you know I I have and a coach, you know,
coach basketball for number of years and then just trying
to segue into you know, working with the mathletes. Is
this a punishment or is this a favor that the
Principle has given you? Jeff, that's rude, dude, It's not rude.

(21:20):
We want to know. We're listening. It's I mean, if
he intended it as a punishment, it's definitely a favorite
because I just learned so much from you guys. H
Thanks Mr PERCAPSI thanks Mr Cassy. Tell me about Aunt
Dally again. Excuse excuser Caps, thanks for coming into my office.

(21:42):
You know, being the dean here, I've got a lot
of responsibilities, one of which is to view the tapes
that I'm sent on occasion some of the classrooms. Okay,
don't don't, don't tell Principal Hanson whatever you do, Dean, Well,
I don't need to tell Principal hands And as long

(22:03):
as you and I can come to a positive conclusion today,
I'm not sure in the hierarchy whose whose higher ranking,
the Principle or the Dean. Okay, well, this brings uh
us back to why I've called you in today. It
seems there seems to be with a pneumonic to remember

(22:24):
the hierarchy at a high school. Right right, um, if
only there was there isn't um it. It's just been
brought to my attention and possibly the principle too. How
much you're students know, which is kind of remarkable, and

(22:45):
then the not still remarkable part, how little you do? Right? Yeah? Um,
I'm just going over some of your uh, previous employments
from when you refer tired. You've been with a seventeen weeks?
Is that right, boys, that it's flown by If that's true, Yeah,

(23:06):
seventeen weeks, and prior to that you were at twenty
seven different schools. That seems like you're throwing a lot
of numbers at me, and I don't know the order
of operations for these numbers. I'm more of a pure,
more of a pictures guy. Uh, maybe we should take

(23:27):
advantage of that ability of yours, the picture part, and
maybe move you to a different class. Oh no, I
I gotta work with these athletes. What do you mean,
I'm not teaching drawing anymore. It's not that you're not
teaching it, it's just that we we your powers of intelligence,
quite frankly, have exceeded this particular plat. Principal handsOn signed

(23:51):
off on this all right? You know what, because if
I'm uh pulling dicks very strongly, that's the order Prince
well dean vice principal secretary. And if he's not signed off,
I would I would like to approach and reprieve. Yeah, okay,

(24:13):
you know what. Uh, you're just giving me more examples,
quite frankly, of why we think you might be ready
to teach Matt. The mathletes. The mathletes, that's that's the
roughest team in school. Yes, they've won sixteen national championships there.
I'd like to I'd like to get a lot more
of those national championships. And I just feel that the

(24:36):
new teacher, let's call him um, has had seventeen weeks
to pull something out of his ass, and I just
I don't see it. Well, guys, I guess this is
my last day with you, Mr Percapsie. Where are you going?
I'm being demoted by sargeant, by sargeant, my sergeant, my sergeant. Okay,

(25:03):
get off the sergeant, Get off the desk, guys. But uh, Jeff,
if you're gonna do it, get on the desk. On
the desk, dude, just once, we're gonna have an actual
math teach saying good goodbye. But all right, I'll get
on the job. I just want to say thank you
so much. Um, before you started talking about your personal life,

(25:24):
I found it really hard to pay attention and listen
in class. Once we started adding that element of gossip.
I found it to be a very engaging situation. Here.
My brain started lighting up and turning on. And that
was all you, sir, Thank you sergeant, if you want
some gossip. Uh, then this was not this was not

(25:47):
Principal Hansen's call. This was the dean's. I guess pulling
dicks very strong. He doesn't carry any weight around this school.
I'm sorry. What the classic mnemonic to remember? I I've
never heard that from your mouth, from your mouth to
God's ear. If you're talking about Principal Hanson, Mr, could

(26:11):
I could if I was given the chance. Who's who's
dick is? Who's bully? Who's dick? Strongly? Uh? Not me,
I'll tell you that much. I just I love him.
I love him? Okay, thank you, yeah, thank you for
sharing your love stories with us and your drawings, all
those drawings you had in your books. Um, you made

(26:33):
me a better athlete. Now I I also have a
little surprise for you. Guys. My very elegant mother just
served as nine pizzas. What what? No? My my mother,
who was a society matron, baked baked nine pizzas and
she just served them. Come on in, mom, Okay, here

(26:58):
we go. Oh, these kids are really nice. Who wants
gluten free? I think we made a gluten free option.
There's a dairy free option. Okay, with the gluten free one.
Isn't my original family. It's not normal. There's just gluten
free and not gluten free. What what? What kind do
you want? Jeff? I don't really um get you get

(27:23):
a pizza? Jef? Jeff? Just Jeff, come up? Why are
you still standing on your desk? I'm just I'm upset
right now. Okay, I feel like we've been sabotaged. We've
won sixteen championships and now we've got I'll have regular sixteen. Wow,
that's one less than the number of weeks I've been here. Guys,

(27:44):
I just did math. I just did too. Oh man,
seen three comes first? Patron V I p to who
rode type? How you doing? Listen? Sometimes I get a

(28:04):
slight headache from laughing at your wonderful antics. I mean
awe of how well you keep up your flow between
each other while being hindered by the tech limitations of
remote work. Huh. I never thought about it that way,
Thank you too. Anyway, enough with the Sacharin and fuse
fandom already, huh, because we were kind of enjoying it.

(28:28):
But let's move on. Let's get to your scene suggestion.
I'm sure it's great, Nobels. Such a weird turn, I'm
selected this this this email. You would think I've already
approved the scene suggestion and I turned on him. Uh.

(28:50):
Here's toy Bo's scene suggestion. Nobel Prize Committee contemplates giving
Peace Prize to an inventor of a tech product call
I Bong before Well, I just think we should hear
from everyone before we vote, That's all. And I don't

(29:11):
think everyone has chimed in't yet? All right? Second that, yeah,
we don't need a second or a third or a
decision made on what I'm asking. Could everyone please pass
an opinion. We're gonna go down the line one at
a time, and let's let's debate the damn thing. Please.
I'm not seeing any evidence that it's anything other than

(29:32):
that a giant vape pin, right, it's it's an electronic bomb, right, Yeah,
we do not understand how this is going to change
the world. I was just worthy of the nobile applies
Pierre if I made do you do you partake in
the smoking of cannabis? Of course I do. Everyone does, right,

(29:57):
And when was the last time you use the proper bone?
Probably a while ago. I don't know anybody uses bogs anymore.
So there's no discreet We have Flensch. We are discreet
with giveing in small but what does my use of
paraphernalia to do it or not? This bongs flies Well,

(30:18):
I think our own personal experiences what shouldn't absolutely inform
our decisions? If if I may, uh, the ever since
you've been the head of this committee Rufus seventeen weeks, Uh,
you've been pushing a lot of marijuana paraphernalia for different categories. So,

(30:42):
if anything, I mean it is an impressive feat of engineering.
But I don't I don't know how the eyebong would
qualify someone to uh for the piece. If I just
kind of argue my piece really quick before before you
they say it, Yes, of course, plea is here. Yeah,
I mean I thought that would be okay, if you
guys are talking about giving me a possible Nobel Peace prize,

(31:05):
who invited you? Oh, it's not poses? Why did you
just this eyeball was for peace? It's it's you know,
it's it's gonna bring world peace, more people smoking bombs
and stuff. Why don't you tell us how watch? Instead
of thank you, go ahead and explain to to the

(31:27):
fellas and the ladies present, how you like you see
this changing the world? All right? Well, like everybody said,
nobody wants to smoke bongs anymore because it makes you
cough and it's just not and now with fake pens,
it's not necessary. Maybe bongs can come back if you
put it in your eye. You don't cough when you
smoke bongs to your eyes. I mean, that would be crazy.

(31:51):
I imagine if everybody was back to bomb I don't.
I for one, absolutely did not understand by the name eyeball,
that my eyeball would be involved. We did, We had
no idea. Well you snuck me in here, yes I did.
I did. But but be that as it may, I

(32:14):
just thought, iebon iPhone, that sort of thing you're saying,
we're going to consume the cannabis using our eyeballs. Yeah,
it's kind of like when I mean a few years back,
we used to take shots of vodka to our eyeballs
and that hurt, Like hell, is everyone familiar with that?
I haven't done well. It was pretty big in the

(32:41):
fret scene, like five years ago, shots of vodkat to
the eyeball. Don't do it. It It was a bad idea,
but eyeball, that's a game changer. The reason I'm sorry,
I will let the lady from Spain speak. Oh, thank you? Someone, um,

(33:04):
if you, if you she did, she did study in
the Okay for a while. You know what will make
this a lot easier. Try the sidebam, try the side, maybe, somebody?
Why are we all giggling? Is this this one? Did
you have this going beforehand? And I know people? Are

(33:26):
you going to sneak into these meetings? Every time we
have had one of these meetings, you have snuck in
some person to plead that case. He is the sevent
You're not wrong. I'm gonna put a cap at four more,
but that's gonna be it. We are rumming out of plazas.
Are you? Are you next up to present to the

(33:48):
Nobel Peace Price Committee. I gotta They're only gonna hear
like four more people. So yeah, yeah, what do you got? Uh? Yeah, this,
I think this is a real solution to peace. Like
you know, like people say like juices, like don't have
the vitamins anymore. Well, I made these pills that you
put into juices and like they will have the vitamins

(34:09):
that like the original feast. And so we think a
healthier world is a happier world, which is like a
more peaceful Lord, what about you cool? I'm I'm the
Prime Minister of of Israel. I negotiated a treaty between
between Egypt and Jordan's okay, oh yeah, those guys. So

(34:34):
I'm more. I'm more, I'm more traditional, you know, more
old school. But you know, my understanding is, ever since
this guy Rufus has been the head of the Nobel
Prize Committee, it's been been a little more like shark take,
where people coming, people come in and pitch possible solutions
for world peace rather than focusing on past accomplishments. I mean,

(34:56):
if you don't get some of the guys get geopolitical.
It's tough and it's stuff. You know. Some of the
some of those guys are tough. You have to get
them on your side, because if they're out, they're out. Yeah,
I mean they flew me in, they put me up here.
I really thought that my accomplishments would speak for themselves,
but I guess I still have to go in and pitch.

(35:17):
I mean, I heard about the Jordan's Egypt thing. That
was a big one. That was I was glad you've
got that worked out. Yeah. Um, do you drink juice? Though?
I do juice. Here's go I mean it's not approved yet,
but here, here's a few samples you can take, um
take back to Israel with you. What's that? What's in

(35:39):
this one? Oh? This is uh cranberries. All the protein
and ven and the avitaments of cranberries you can add
to t I right, yeah, yeah, if you, if you're
if you, if you read the hurts, this is good.
That is good. That is good. I don't know if
if it's world peace good. Yeah. It looks like I

(36:00):
did pretty good in there. I don't think you guys
even need to wait for your turn. Their high in there,
So I wrap it up and go home. I don't care.
All right, we'll suit yourself. I'm out of here. Lufus
fuzzy last time, there is no such thing as a

(36:22):
Nobel Price for cool? And who is this person that
you brought? Who is this person you brought? And the
claims they're going to win the Nobel place for cool? Well,
all right, uh, maybe I'll let them explain themselves to
stead of me giving some big warm up introduction. Let's

(36:42):
hear him out. Let's hear him out. Don't believe this? Alright,
we hear him out? I mean, why can't there be
a world prize for cool? That good? That good? We
want to hear? Is this the first time any of
you have been around the weed smoked before? No? No, no, no,
no listen, no, no, no, no, listen listen. World World?

(37:10):
What a weird word. It's just a weird word. I
never said I thought about it, the world word, but
with oh exactly, it's like word or without the e.
And then the error moved around a little bit. Did
you get today's world O? By the way, it was

(37:32):
the word was, which is weird because you never say it. Okay,
so who are you again? I say? But also I
know you, you fucking stoles? Who is that who he's
asking about? Are you wed? Novices. Yeah, this gentleman's got

(37:59):
some juices or something that's gonna make everybody's life better
around the world. Thank you ahead and thank you Rufus Um,
I appreciate it. First of all, Dr Rufus, of course,
Dr Rufus, thank you. I'd like to just make a
few comments about my product and also letting you up next. Uh,
you have the Prime Minister of Israel coming up and

(38:20):
honestly got a weird vibe from him. Just want to
put that out there, so we appreciate the heads up. Yeah. Yeah,
So I got these little pills. So people say juices
don't have um all the vitamins there in the fruit.
So we made a pill with the vitamins. You put
it into the juice. And then so if you're drinking
orange juice, you put in the orange pill. You get

(38:40):
all the vitamins. We consider you for the Nobel Peace
Prize and the Nobel Cool Prize. We'd like to if
we can check both boxes, and you want to submit
across the board like me across the board. Okay, yeah,
just apply for everything and sorry, if I can back
you up two seconds. Good question, by the way you
put it. Peels for nutrients inside of things that are

(39:02):
already supposed to have nutrients. No, no, you lose when
you juicify, you lose some of the nutrients. We're gonna
when you juicify an orange, when you turn an actual
orange into juice, you're saying you've lost some of the nutrients.
And how what on percentage wise? What are we talking
you've lost that? We're so in desperate need of your

(39:24):
you're helping us along the way. These the same questions
that the eyeball everybody got the same question. Please don't don't, don't,
don't say you're out yet. Listen to my whole thing,
and please explain that poster. Were you there when they juicified?
My lord? The guy outside did not like this, but this, okay,

(39:48):
I figured he would have. This is this is supposed
to more to get attention. We want to get the attention.
Ah yeah, I grab him. Sure. Back to the percentage
thing is how much have we lost to them nutrients
that we need your help? So from orange to juice
there's only goody left inside and they're adding sugar so

(40:13):
they're hurting it. Trust me, this is a piece making invention.
So everybody will be more peaceful if they have proper nutrients.
Is that your pitch that will deuce fire? Our lord? Okay,
I would say take this idea back behind the barn
and shoot it. Just put it out of its misery

(40:33):
for those reasons. Okay, thank you for your time. Panel. Well, no,
there's more. Old thing is stupid and everybody's eye around me.
I'm out. Oh no, no, Mr Mr French, what did

(40:53):
you Your name tag is turned? Do you notice Mr
French is from Family Affair? That's that's an old It's
an old reference cabin, wouldn't it. Yes? Yes? In in Norway,
we get American TV like way after the fact, so

(41:16):
we're still watching Family Affair. You're you're Norrish? Okay? I
am no, yes, that's right. Anyone else you want to
fend by the way before we have everyone, Mr bag
Ms Spain, please tell me that you're in not a

(41:39):
beauty contest? All right? Miss Spain is completely inappropriate. Just
there's no name tax anywhere. I wish there was an
a frame with your name on it. How about Mr
Ms ma'am let's go with them all right? Dr Rufus, Sir,
I appeal to you, Dr Rufus one more time. What
do you think about you, Mr Rufus, Doctor, I said, doctor,

(42:08):

I'm back in, you know I'm out fox sake. Well,
Dr Rufus, your your trial period is the head of
the nobile H Prize Committee has ended. Yes, thank you,
Thank goodness. That's behind us and we can move forward
with me at the helm. These are good times. Well,

(42:31):
I'll tell you what you've You've monetized, uh, the Nobel
Prize Committee in a way that that it never has.
You're welcome before. I mean, we we've got a lot
more followers on Instagram, right, Um, we own the committee
owns now several companies a piece anyway, okay, okay, and

(42:55):
then uh, well, so let's go through the prizes that
that you chose for two Yes, all right, fine, I
would have thought you'd had that material and through them together. Okay, good, good,
good good. Why don't we start with number three? This
is the most crowd of that. This is the new
prize you added, the Nobel Cool Prize. That's right, that's right.

(43:18):
We passed on the nutrient infusion pitch and went with socks. Socks.
So just just the concept of socks wins the Nobel
Cool Prize. No, no, not the concept. You know those
Bobobos or whatever that people are, they helped They put

(43:38):
a pair of socks on on homeless people for every
pair that they sell. Yeah, so that's good, that is cool.
That's cool. Well, wasn't that company. I was just giving
that one as an example. It's another company that came
in and said that they were gonna for every pair
they sold, they would keep a pair for themselves. Okay,

(44:00):
I was worried we were giving the prize to Bill
Clinton's cat. Is that Bill Clinton's cat? It was get
your ego socks. Ego socks make your toes feel yummy
and dummy. Get your ego sucks. Right here, sir, you
look like a yeah. I mean yeah, I have these
sandals on, but I ego socks. I mean, I'm sorry

(44:23):
I was taken in by your sign. First of all,
your other sign is kind of offensive, but this one
ego sucks. I'm I'm not sure what. Well. You don't
like this poster that said God should have worn socks
in the desert? Yeah, no, that, I mean that's a
little you know, why why bring religion into socks? You know,
we trying to think of we're like Nike, right, Nike's
got Michael Jordan's already, So I did not. I'm not.

(44:46):
I didn't stop to argue with you. I gotta get
to antiance pretzels. But this was really fun to enjoy
your kes. Just hold on? Is that a note? Are
you out? Yeah? What do you think I'm gonna come
back in when I'm out? I just have to make sure.
So that's a no. All right, I'm gonna go. Do
you want an any pretzel? Um? Sure? If they have
you give me the cinnamon ones. No, I'm just a sample. Mom,

(45:12):
I asked you for bomba socks. What the fuck is this?
I can't go to school with this? Of course you
can these one the Cool Prize, the Nobel Cool. Everyone's
gonna heart if I'm wearing the bobos. No, No, I

(45:33):
don't want to. Your father and I have always thought
that you really struggled with being cool. What you're not cool? Yeah?
The kids don't think you're cool, so we're trying to cool.
Are you talking to? Mom? Which kids in my school
have you been talking to? It's more so the kids
that we haven't been talking to me, you know, we

(45:54):
don't talk to that many kids. Listen. I didn't make
the chairs squad, not because I'm not cool. I didn't
make it because I couldn't do a toetouch properly. That's
not my fault. Your fault for pushing me out of
your tight ask pelvis. Regardless of the doctors saying we
should probably go in surgically. This is too small. It
will crush her hips. That's on you. Well, Jimmy's back

(46:20):
at the party. Yeah, I brought a shot glasses. Yeah,
who's your friend, dude? Eighteen shots? I'll take them all.
Oh what kind of socks are you wearing? Are those?
Are those there? Bambas? They're just different. They're a little
different the bombas. There's a bobos? Man? Those are lame?

(46:40):
Those are? They have the Nobel Cool Prize on him?
Come on, hey man, come on, come on look. Let
me talk to your every second. Come on. That's the
girl with the crushed hips. Man. Oh, come on, we
wanted to find at a party. Man, she's a girl
with the crushed hips. You know, like, did she never
she never been to a party before? All right, give
me four were shot glasses? I want Albuquerque, Austin Tallahassee.

(47:04):
And where where did your mom actually break up with
your dad? Oh? You know what, Weirdly, they're technically still together.
So here take this one. It says the future is
now on it. Oh sweet, sweet, all right, crushed chips
can stay. All right. So your socks won the Nobel
Cool Prize. I mean that to me is the definition

(47:26):
of uncool. You know, if a bunch of cultural elite
white men and one Spanish woman determined these to be
the coolest socks in the world. Okay, I just I
just wanted some punch, So, oh you'll get punched. Okay, cool,
you'll get punched. Listen. I know that you've been telling

(47:50):
all the guys that I have crushed hips, and I
just want to I just want to say, first of all,
bitch ass move And second of all, um, they were
crushed at birth. But then of course I was put
into some kind of harness cast and they have been
read formed. So why don't Why don't you take off

(48:12):
the cast because I feel more comfortable with it on,
And that's like my personal choice, but it really doesn't
stop me from doing anything except for a proper teddy
bear jump. I can still do herkeys single legs. I
just can't do the Teddy Bear jump, which is really
none of your fucking business, Tippany. Actually, well, I'm known

(48:32):
from my Teddy Bear jump, so it is kind of
my business. Do your Teddy Bear jump. Stephanie god rufus

and I put any new stuff there? Are we speaking
on the Graham, on the Insta, on the instak, I couldn't. Yeah,
I'm really bad at Twitter. I'm technically the same handle
on Twitter, but I'm just not there. Yeah. Twitter seems

(49:39):
to have become a pretty great forum for people who
like to argue with strangers. I don't think that's true
at all. And the fact that you even bring this up. Actually,
guy on Twitter like called out my mom as like
but as like one of the worst like fake news reporters.
My mom was a reporter, but she is no longer

(50:01):
a reporter. And it was it was great. I was
really happy about it, and I did like retweet it,
and he did fighting, and he did try to start
a fight with me, but I know to shut my
little mouth. Well that would put you, I think, in
the running for the Nobel Cool Fries. Hell. Yeah that yeah,
your mom was called out on on that. But and again,
