who got it from a French chef. So strapping, uh,
whisk like a motherfucker. Get those air pockets in there
because that makes them fluffier and lighter, and so just
like just so when you dump them in there, So
make that sound while you're whisking whatever you want to
do to kind of get the the elbow rocking and
(03:27):
then they come out just so fluffy, so good. Okay,
the French shout out to Andy, I love you so
much more. Do you use your elbow when you whisk? Yeah?
I strapped. Use both hands that go like this so

the Peaceful March became an issue in certain pockets and
parts of Santa Monica were ripped up pretty bad, and

those kind of goggles the basketball players started wearing once
one of them lost a n eye. And then he's
got a brown tank top on and b mL spray
painted on the back of the tank top, spray painted

let's put your hands together. Nicky Shits. Thank you so much, Deacon,
Thank you so much. Looks like we've got a small
(08:38):
crowd today. Don't worry. I hope my ships don't become
bigger than the crowd we got here today. So I
was just wondering, how many people here? How many people
are stidy diet? OK? So so you can you can answer,
you can you can answer, Deacon. You don't have to answer.
You can someone's going on? Are you right? You weren't.
(09:03):
I don't know what a steady diet is. You don't
know what a steady diet is? You know, everyone in
the congregation. Why don't we take a second here, when
we take a second here to realize what a steady
diet is. Now, we have a young man here, preach it.
Young man here? Your name is Bred Is that right? Brad? Brad?
(09:25):
I'm a young man here named Brad. And how many
people here I want to see Brad to get shifted
on father ships. Thank you for coming to my office.
I can still hear the crowd screaming your name. Listen,
we brought you in here because we wanted you to
(09:47):
touch the youth, right, We needed a younger. Maybe we
should use a different kind of terminology. I'm a father,
I'm father long Don and here I have a sister
bleed here. We are getting older and we admit that,
and we don't want to lose the connection, so we
need you to Maybe the connection has already lost, father,
(10:11):
You know, that's what we're worried about. We're worried about
are out of touch. That's what we're saying. Exactly exactly
what father is saying, maybe you too need to step
out of the way so Nicky ships can spread the word.
And my ass that's exactly what the father is saying.
I think. So you you get the message, which is good.
We need you to really reach in, you know, grab
(10:33):
the youth by where it hurts. You know. Maybe what
I need to do is grab the youth exactly. Yes,
that's correct, that's correct. That's correct. Oh, God, bless you, God,
bless you, God, bless you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm looking
for a Nikki Shits. I'm a former agent of his

makes you feel terrible, you know I but I wouldn't
give the switch places with him again, you know, just
for one day to be back in the spotlight. King V. Well,
(20:02):

you said that he turned to the key and it
made a sound, and then he disappeared into He just disappeared.
You're hearing the story correct, that's correct. But before he left,
(21:36):
he said something about he wanted to be Nikki Shits
for a day. I don't know if that is anything relevant.
So maybe the ignition of this old beat up car
can make me transfer bodies with somebody. Scully, what are
you doing, Jim Scully? What do you think is going on?
What do you mean? What? What do you think? I mean? Huh?
How far are you going to take this case? Who's
(21:58):
this beautiful lady? H I'm agent FBI, whoa Federal booby inspector? Nice?
Are you serious? It's kind of Number one two comes
(22:20):
from Justin in Portland Organ, who wrote, Hey KP, I'm
a devoted listener since two two thousand nine. Team. My
wife often finds me doing dishes at the SINC doubled
over and laugh the thanks for all the genius moments
of comedy. The skill level is off the charts, and
you each bring something unique. That's why it works. Scenes
suggestion a group of science fiction novelists go on a
(22:41):
yoga retreat. They begin to suspect the yoga leader is
not what he or she seems seems. See, so my
thought right now is that like for my I don't know,
I guess like the the bridge for the two worlds
is going to be a this this cybernetic uh like
(23:04):
overlord right that is controlling both the Uprising robots, but
at the same time is like all the humans are
super plugged in to like the other AI world and
all that. So it's thank you, Dr Rossman. Is there
any other questions We let the doctor go at some point,
but if they're we could have time for two more
questions for that. Yeah, I have a question. Ye, yes,
(23:25):
the lady in the back, I guess. I guess my
question is I think that the portal is maybe something
that you could find, like maybe behind a tree or
maybe under a tree, and could you just I'm sorry,
could you just hold to get the mic over to you? Yeah,
hold on, okay, um my question. I guess my question
(23:46):
is like if there's like I think the portal is
where it's like maybe on the side of the thing.
Can you hear her? Doctor, I can't. I can't. Let's
get the mic over to someone else if we could,
someone who knows how to speak into it. Yeah, I
got I got a question. Gentlemen on the on the
(24:07):
left wing there, Yeah, pass it down if you can
pass the mike to him. Thank you, Hey, doctor, big fan,
big fan, big fan. I can't hear him. Is he
I'm speaking into it? Mike is not working. You just
shout your questions. So, doctor, I'm a big fan what
(24:29):
I think in in my community, I can't I can't
hear what he says. Can we can we go to
let's go back to the lady in the back? MS.
Could you just yell out your question please? Sure? I
guess my question is like, what's the deal with going
to the other dimension? Do you guys think it's like
through a portal? Or do you think that it's something
(24:51):
that we have to like manifest ourselves with like math.
That's a great question, No way, doctor, So to reiter
rate for those of you couldn't hear her, when you
go to Chili's, what is your favorite order? My favorite
order at Chili's right now would have to probably be
the probably the bean pizza and uh if if I'm
(25:17):
getting if I'm really going hard at Chili's, I'll do
the I'll do the flat burger right, no cheese, no
bun um, I'll probably do no egg. I'll add I'll
bring my own Friday's Jack Daniel sauce. You'll bring it out.
I'll bring my own. Wow, that's great, and so he
(25:39):
goes on. He goes on to list other ingredients. He likes.
What I'm saying is I think the audience is waiting
for a book of this caliber for me. So you know,
everybody who's asking the question is representing the audience himselfs Damien, Damien,
I like what you do, you know, I like what
you do. Okay, but I'm looking for sci fi here.
I mean the entire book. I read it. It It just
you got a thousand pages of a seminar talk with
(26:03):
some Dr Rothman and the host and all these people
who can't be heard. It makes no sense. But but
what's the what does what does sci fi even stand for?
Let's start science fiction? Science Okay, what's the opposite of
science fiction? Science fact? Okay? Okay, see what I'm doing here? Um?
(26:23):
Would you too like to continue having this conversation or
can we get on with the yoga retreat? We have
a group of individuals here, right, Yes, I'm so sorry,
Yeah we can let's do let's do the yoga retreat.
I am so sorry to you. Don't have to apologize, um, right,
(26:45):
So everyone welcome. UM. I guess we already kind of
know um kind of a book deal going on. So
if there's anything else side, okay, um. And I did
make it abundantly clear that everyone has to be very
healthy before coming on this retreat. So I hope no
(27:06):
one's trying to hide. And he's smoking right now, and
I didn't think that was allowed either. It's certainly not allowed. Okay,
I'm sorry I did not put it out. Did you
just put on a voice for that? Because before you're okay? Okay,
are we allowed to put on voices? Yes, you just
have to let me know before you do it, okay,
(27:28):
because I get confused. Okay, any other questions before we begin?
Can we can we do the yoga? Yeah? Okay, okay,
all right, we'll start in. Um, I have a question
real quick. Is it going to get really crazy hot? Yes?
(27:50):
The room goes up to a hundred degrees um. It
helps with flexibility. And I also like it when people
get wet and sweaty for me, that's fun. Okay, okay, wow,
crazy And they just kind of randomly paired us up
to bunk together. But here we are sci fi robot guy,
(28:14):
sci fi alien guy. Yeah, it's crazy, right. We would
have thought it would have thought that we would be
it's nuts here together. It's crazy. It's just me. It
was I don't know. You know, I don't have a
big history in yoga, so I can't really talk. But
it's kind of weird that Yogi there was really really
into making sure that it was really hot and wet
(28:36):
in there, like super important, wouldn't start until it was
super hot and wet. Yeah, I mean, I'm familiar with
with the hot yoga well you know, but the wet
part that that weirded me out because it was the
dumping of water over us repeatedly that I was not
helping me either a be secure in my footing or
(28:58):
people were slipping. There was a lot of a c
L terrors on the first day. Yeah, it's dangerous. So yeah,
So so what I did is I put the sci
fi robot guy in the sci fi alien guy in
this theme. So I have I have a camera in
there and I'm listening. I imagine fascinating things are gonna
come out of this. You know, I could, frankly, I
could use this for my book. I think this is
(29:19):
a great plan. So let's let's just listen in. Let's
listen in. Okay. So yeah, yeah, you got to make
sure that you add a lot of flour to the
stock or it's not gonna you know, thicken correctly, So
you gotta do that, I mean, make it blendses is fun.
So I'll give you the recipe. Yeah, I really love
love that. Sorry, this is the footage. Ye, just the
(29:42):
two of them talking recipe right now. It's a live feed,
so who knows. I imagine they're gonna get to the
small talk and then get to the good talk. I mean,
we're talking to sci fi alien and side by robot.
What's the good talk? Are we looking forward? Do you
think something that has to do with sci fi aliens

Okay you okay? I am at of here. Bye bye
bye bye bye bye, Mr President, Mr President. Yes, man,
(38:57):
I have a moment of your time. You can. My
constituents in the Great State of Georgia have concerns about
all hanging out and all eating meat. They wanted me
to run them by you so because quite frankly, we
might succeed from the union if we have to see it. Oh,
(39:18):
that's easy. Is that? It's just that it fucking doude dude,
I'll beat the ship out of your asks if you
do that ship dude, all right, you're f kidding me,
do it. I don't give a fun dude. I filmed
a movie with Kurt Russell straight to DVD. Didn't he
didn't get released, but I filmed it with Kurt Russell,
so I know how to fu handle myself. My man, Okay,
I missed the president. Uh. I mean, I do love
this country, and h I do love you and your
(39:41):
word I leave. Do you hear a dumb you sounded
you're gonna leave and then you love it? How dumb
is that? I personally love it? But I represent the
people of Georgia. Kurt Russell personally told me I'm super chill,
and he wanted to hang out. We weren't able to
conflicts bit conflicts, but we did we we hung out
on set. Understand that. Let me tell the people that
(40:01):
Georgia that you are from the playback. The President told
the governor from Georgia he would beat his ass if
he didn't get on board with the anthem. We're gonna
now go to the field for another report from Tina Carter. Tina, Hi, Yeah,
(40:22):
we're out here on the field in front of the
White House. Um. You know, as you can see, some
of the windows in the White House are broken because
the President keeps kind of in a cartoonish way throwing
senators out there to quote prove a point unquote. Um,
so as and we see now another one is just
coming through. See if you can grab an interview with
(40:44):
the senator. Let me run Hi, sir, sir, sir, Hi,
I'm Tina from ABC News. So you're the Senator of Massachusetts, right,
let's hang out and that's the present. Let's see beef.
(41:06):
So you were we just saw you get injected through
the window of the White House. You tell me a
little bit about that. I said, I said, I can't
beat the song. And then he said what's that? And
what and he said look over there, and then I looked,
and then he threw me out to the window, and
I landed on my face and my plate, and I'm
already you landed on your face and your butt. I
think that's kind of impossible. Yeah, it's a bad day.
(41:32):
Anything else is bad happened aside from getting kicked out
of a window. I think I think he's going to
get what he wants. I think that's gonna be our
new anthem. James, you're my secretary defense. I am just
really I'm not organized. You're my secretary of the treasure.
(41:52):
I know it's a lot of pressure. I made up
another secretary position for you. Secretary. What the hell am
I supposed to do? Huh? I don't know. You're my
most trusted and only advisor. Okay, I know it's just
maybe you should get fill each position with a different person.
It's not going to pass that I'm gonna be able
(42:13):
to clone you. And have you wait a second, what
if we're able to clone you? I don't think we should. No, no,
no, no no, no no. I I really, honestly, I feel
pretty exhausted being one person. I don't want to be
a whole bunch of people. What Joey, I can't be
cloned I'm exhausted. You wouldn't be tired as the clone.
The clone would be the whole another thing. It'd be
like alright, James entered the chamber here for the record,
(42:37):
I don't want to do that. There's a lot of
smoke coming out of that chamber, fire smoke. There's the
rails going in there. I don't want to go in there. Please,
you have to see an executive order, James, let's go inside.
The skin ready to be removed. Oh, I don't want
your skin is going to be removed for it's a
(42:58):
quick procedure. It's only about four hours. So um, we're
gonna go ahead and uh like, go ahead. Hold on
to the handles there on the side, these handles for
Katie penis what is in ivory right now? To preserve it.
It's it's gonna hurt a lot, all right. How's he
(43:23):
doing in there? You know? Is the outpatient? Good? Is?
When when am I going to get more? James's well,
the penis replicated, fine, but there was a problem with
the rest of it. Problem. What do you mean problem? Well,
there's clones on the clones what well, I'll just you'll
just have to see it. I'm not a doctor. Doctor
(43:43):
speak to me like I'm a dumb guy. You know
in the movie Total Recall where the guy has a
little quatto on his stomach, the guy, the guy and
the guy, well his name is quat, right, Yeah, that's
you know what I'm saying. It's like that. But the
character the thing is called Quata, you know whatever. Alright,
but it up Tata. Look the thing is this movie
is a sci fi classic. Okay, don't shot on that,
(44:05):
all right, I'm not hitting at it. I used it
to the analogy because I love the film that to
the short fucking story and made a classic. Do you
know that? Huh yeah, I understand. It's Phil Okay, Dick,
it's great. It's it's a fucking bad ass dude. That
part where schwartz Niger takes off the little mask. Look
what what this doctor dick to me is all over
(44:26):
my Hi, Joe, you got to tell this doctor to
remove these penises off of me. Don't kiss him. Do
not kiss him. It does not do you want to
be kissed? James? Okay, I I gotta go on a
(44:48):
little trip. Okay, what you can't leave me here here
next to me? James, listen to me. Okay, I'm the president.
I'm the president. Okay, I get to do I have
to do things. And if you can't do whatever we
need you to do, James, I need your my advisor. Okay,
I'm gonna have to public James. I know that. Okay,
I know that. Okay. Right now I'm juggling the presidency
(45:10):
and I'm trying to get a movie deal. Okay. I
got a lot of things going on in my life.
All right, So I need you to as a president
if you could just uh, I hate to say that,
put it this way, but an elevator pitch for the
film would be helpful. We can see what you see, yes, yes,
of course, so um uh uh to armadillos live action
(45:35):
that are trying to find a magic key to get
them out to get to open up a portal so
they go back to their armadillo um dimension. So we're
on the same page. Do you actually mean the animal
seen mostly as road kill in the state of Texas, Yes, yeah, okay,
(45:58):
but they're taking on human care juristics, yes. Do they
wear hats? Yeah? Yeah, I think that's totally talk about that. Yes,
So we have a question. Assist. Thanks for thanks for
taking the meeting. I think lions Gate is gonna be
super into this script. It's called Dicks Ahoy. It's about
(46:21):
a guy every hour on the hour, more dicks pop
up on his body. Keep talking. Yeah, so eventually, I
mean it's really funny at first, but then it becomes
a bit of a horror story as he's completely overtaken
by these dicks. Okay, the dicks are out to get
him somehow. Yeah. Well, initially they love him because they're
(46:42):
his host, but then they realize that he's not paying
enough attention to them, so they rise up, this is
a guy, This is a guy. Yeah, but I mean
you're telling me the guy is not paying attention to
his dicks. Dr Turmrn. You know you were pitching the
Lion's Gate as well, Mr President. Uh, yeah, it's good.
(47:06):
You know they have a they can green light several films.
I don't think, I don't know competing. Do you mind
if I see your pitch? Sure? Sure, it's what did
you give me your pitch? Actually? Okay? Uh, that's about
a guy who every hour on the hour, a bunch
of dicks keep popping up all over him, and so
(47:30):
so within the movie, he sells a movie. Okay, now
this is the book. Look, look, look, it's too convoluted.
It makes you goddamn sense as you've got away from
the point about him wanting to make the national anthem.
That was completely about. I don't know how many times
I have to reprimand YouTube for a meeting in the
middle of class, but this is the last time, and
(47:51):
I mean it for real temperature. What am I gonna do?
I'm a boy. I don't know if you've noticed. It
took everyone here a long time, and you guys must
be dumb. But from waist down, I am basically microchips
and the top I am a human woman. So yes,
you look good in yoga pans. Still am I right?
(48:12):
Thank you? I do a good thank you, and that
actually means a lot. I do like it when men
comment on my body because that's mainly why I exist.
So thank you so much. But if you guys do
that again, I'm turning the temperature up to fifty degrees
for me. It doesn't matter. Okay, I'm a robot, but
(48:33):
that should matter. There should be a temperature thing that
like you know, Also, the water should distort the chips.
There's a lot of I mean, yeah, we got a question. Hey, sorry,
I'm gonna need a new yoga mat because that is
crept over in Jesus hilarious though, right, I should think
it a wrong. That was funny. That was funny. Okay,
(48:55):
So I'm assuming we're gonna end this yoga session in
the way we and all of them. And that's the
thing that I guess exactly. Someone please stand up, put
your right hand on your heart. Um, well, her heart
is on her head. Look at that. That's weird, cool cool?
All right? Shall we? Yes, let's the American anthem, Let's
(49:23):
hang outday, always leave them wanting less. It's harder to
(49:48):
sing on zoom calls than in person. Let's thank all
of our alchemist, starting with the very James Heeney. James,
thank you so much. How is your hashbrown supply? We're
getting seen emailing raies about that. I'm not even actually
funny story. It was doing well for a while, but
the past two orders that I've made, they have asked
(50:08):
me if it was okay to replace those hash browns
with shredded potatoes. And that is not okay. So I
have not a lot left. I don't know what's going
to happen. I mean, it's been minced potatoes. I don't
know what it is. It's all packed into a patty
and or a phone call with some sort of missive
(50:31):
from the folks you ordered from saying how about shredded
potatoes instead? Well, here's what happens when I use instatcart
is they have a little thing that pops up and says,
is it okay for this to be a replacement? And
I will. I'll approve almost everything, but I am not
going to approve shredded potatoes. Clearly they don't dealing with
I mean, yeah, good on you, but I am almost out.
(50:53):
So anyone listening, remember James is almost out of hash
Browns from Costco. Right, Oh, I shu, I had a
Costco card. I use Smart and Final. It's pretty close.
I wouldn't say it's close by, man, I wouldn't say
it's a big boxes and damned do I like big boxes? Okay, okay, Wow,
(51:18):
that went sideways. Caroline Connor, thank you so much for
being here today. Happy here, huh and uh good luck
in the coming days. You'll keep us posted on your progress.
Yeah please, we'd like to know, you know, post up?

not really considered essential or allowed by doctors, so I'm excited.
