Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode Oh Alchemy.
This the fully improvised comedy podcast where we do full
scenes and shows based on listener suggestions. You are the listener,
and we thank you for listening. And let's jump. Oh.
I'm Chris Operado. I'm hosting, as you could tell, because
(00:23):
I've already messed up. But let's talk to our alchemists today,
some of my friends, some of yours. Let's meet them
in no particular order. Let's first say hello to Jackie.
Dear Ruthie. Hello, Oh hello, now, Jackie. I don't know
the answer to this for myself, but my wife knew
it for her. So I'm want to ask you if
(00:44):
you know yours? For the first song you ever slow
danced too? Wow? Ye, this didn't track, didn't didn't didn't
mean much to me. Were you? Were you a slow
dancwer in middle school? Or slowly? Oh yeah, little Jackie
(01:07):
really hard and the little school make it fast, make
it slow. I was on that floor. I remember, I
remember definitely dancing to like. For whatever reason, this song
is coming to my mind, so it must have been true.
Um that Mark Anthony's song. She sang to me, Hello,
(01:28):
wil Buttom but song for Runaway Bride. Wow, beautiful one
of my favorite movies. Yeah, but I can't really and
I remember Casey and jodo Ah laugh. That was that
was the like I was singing that all morning. I've
(01:49):
been singing that song all morning. I'm not kidding really,
because that song reminded me of an early slow dancing
time for sure. Was it the first? I can't say,
but it was certainly popular. Okay, all right, now let's
say hello to Mark Gagliardi. Hello, Mark, Hi, describe the
feeling for us, because I don't really how, I don't
(02:10):
really know what this feeling feels like. So describe the
feeling of really nailing an audition. One of these days
I will be able to answer this question for you.
You have never felt I've never walked out of an audition,
and I don't know that I've ever felt like I
really nailed it. I feel like, because I'm I guess
(02:31):
I'm pretty hard on myself. I come out and I go,
I could have done this, and that beat could have
done this, and that beat could have done this, and
that beat. Oddly, it's the smaller the thing, the easier
it is to feel like I nailed it. Like I remember,
I had a commercial audition once and all I had
to do was a bite and smile. If you've ever
audition for commercial, you know the bite and smile. It's
just wow, I'm really enjoying this Snickers bar that I
(02:55):
just took a bite of. It's where you you take
a little bite, make sure a little bit of the
car and will hit your lip and then you kind
of lick it in there on you do you very
gently chew and nod and look off to one side.
I did have one of those ones where I went, man,
I nailed that, but that was good. I nailed that
bite and smile. I did not get the job, but
(03:17):
I did finish the snickers. Um. My worst ones are
the no talking. Not that I'm great with dialogue either,
but it's for me. It's the sitting in the audie
and being like, Okay, you're looking at the dash, Oh
you're happy that there's a touch screen. Oh, your wife's calling,
Oh look at this mountain, and it's so hard for
me to like smaller, smaller, smaller, like well then you
(03:39):
get okay anyway, Well, I mean, Mark, you might not
know what a good audition feels like, but you know
what it feels like to book something, you know, and
one of these days, well we'll have that conversation speaking
of booking something. I mean, it's hard to mention booking
without mentioning this. Next fellow, say hello to Craig Atkowski,
the booking Machine. Oh sorry, sorry, guys, I can't do
(04:01):
the second episode of course, Craig. Do you listen to
music every day? Yes? You do. Yes, I don't listen
to music every day. Yeah. I I pay for Amazon
(04:22):
Music for some reason, I guess. I guess I'm being
mocked for um and so I I had had everything
(04:42):
on iTunes and then I slowly like built up like
my old playlists and everything on Amazon Music. So typically
typically my day is I would probably like read the
news for about an hour and a half and then
just listen to my songs on Amazon Music on shuffle.
I've got probably by eight thousand songs in uh in
the rotation. So, and does it does the music affect
(05:05):
your mood from time? I know it's that's a dumb question,
but like, I listen to music so rarely that when
I do, I'm like, oh fuck, Like I'm really like
brushing my teeth feels crazy. Listen to radio Head like,
I'm just I get so affected. Does it will like
affect you as much as it affects me? Yeah? Absolutely.
Like one of my favorite workout playlist is called Shortened
(05:28):
to the Point, which is all songs that are two
and a half minutes long or shorter. So like a
lot of like pop punk kind of stuff, you know,
just like short energetic songs. Love that. I'm I'm never somebody.
I mean, I do like some mellow stuff, but of like,
my normal state is pretty zoned out and mellow, and
so I need music to pump energy and beauty and
(05:54):
melody to get me to feel uh something more. So
I think in the in that sense, it's a little
bit of a drug. I'm loving this. I have to
ask a question. I can't help myself, But what like
if you were to just to like too on a
little song today, tut on one of these songs that
(06:16):
like is energy to you? I just want to know
what that you know what I mean? I just want
to know what that is, just off the top of
my head. I also read a column called The Number
Ones by Tom Bryan that comes out three times a week,
which is kind of a chronological assessment of all the
songs that hit number one in the Billboard charts, and
(06:37):
so right now he's in kind of mid nineties and
like the like the Puff Daddy, which is not necessarily
stuff that speaks to me. But the song for today
was was Biggie's Hypnotized and that's just a fucking jam
and so like. And then as you read the column,
like you can click on of like oh, here's the demo,
(06:59):
and of like oh and here was his first gives
you a little bit of the history of each song
and the artists. So uh, so I did a lot
of like listening to uh two Biggie uh this morning
and hypnotized like we'll we'll get your blood pumping at
any time of the day. Wow, I've never heard of that,
but I bet our next guest has, because our next,
(07:20):
our next guest has his finger on the pulse of
all things pop and culture, and pop culture makes some noise,
say a lot of coal Stratton, everybody, Cole, I'm really excited. Please,
actually have you have you? Have you heard of this?
This guy Crat was talking about I haven't. It sounds
great though, because I like Craig listen to music every day,
all the time, so you should definitely check that out
(07:42):
for sure. My question for you, I'm really excited to
ask you specifically. Actually, I think a lot of us
can answer this, but just you specifically. This is exciting
for me. So it's if if you know if if,
if you know Cole, if you know his wife, if
you follow him on social media, you know that they
take a trip to new work. They see a lot
of Broadway shows. Is that once a year every couple
(08:03):
of years? Cold, it's usually once a year. But then
like the world stopped for two years, so yeah, we
hadn't been back for we just went there back three years. Oh,
it always looks so great because you see so many shows.
Now here's my question for you. You're at a show
and and then all of a sudden someone runs out
and goes everybody, this person got sick, and we need
(08:25):
somebody in the audience who knows all the lyrics to
this song or to this for this musical. I need you.
I need you to answer what musical that is and
what character it is that you that you would be
like bucket here? Yeah, is this school ja First of all,
super plausible scenario I'm always called ready to run up. Gosh,
(08:49):
I've I've probably seen The Music Man seven thousand times
at this point, either from being in it or seeing
because like it's like we just saw the huge Jackman version,
which is great. But music Man at this point can
either so prize nor thrilled me, but never bores me.
Like it's just it's the music Man. So I could
probably jump in and well obviously went through because I
did that when I was a kid like that, but
(09:09):
it would not be appropriate now probably jump in into
Harold Opret pretty well at this point, I love that. Gosh,
I want to see all of you do this. Okay,
I guess we gotta improvise today based on some suggestions. UM,

us from listener Heather Dempsey. Heather Rights, Hello, lovely people.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this podcast.
I was just listening to an old episode while shoveling
snow for the seven thousand time this winter. My fingers
(10:15):
were freezing, my back ached, but I was laughing maniacally
the whole time. My neighbors already think I'm weird, so
you guys are really helping to reinforce my reputation. My
scene suggestion is texting and is inspired by a couple
of recent text mishaps. Thanks for everything, Heather. Okay, Ranic,
(10:35):
can you show me how to do this here? I'm
not just turn in the motorola. That smartphone is new
for me. Yeah sure, sure dad. Um, So we're just
gonna we're gonna click this and then you see this
keyboard and it's just like any other keyboard. It's just
like a computer, And so you can text Wendy, was it? Yeah, Wendy,
(10:58):
that's my new lady that I've been seeing. Yeah. So
you can text her hello, hi, um, you can ask
her questions. There's also there's punctuation if you just click this,
or you can send emojis, well what are what are?
What are emojis? Like smiley faces or like plants and
(11:18):
like water squirts? And oh that's good because I just
die that the egg plants are come up in the garden.
So I'll go ahead and send this door right now. Hey, Wendy,
Oh my god. And Marie and Marie I told you
about that boy I just started dating, right Conrad. Yes,
(11:41):
look what he just texted me. That's a lot of
egg plants. That is a lot of egg plants and
a squirt gun. I don't know if I should be
plater sir, eggplant water squirts, but you know what that means.
And Marie tell me you know how to text? Of
(12:03):
course I know how to text. It doesn't sound like
it if you don't know what an egg plant means. Okay,
so you've got to get over there. I guess what
do I wear like? I've got to get over there
right now. And you know, it's it's not always that
it's gonna be like this. It's the beginning phase, you know,
(12:24):
it's the honeymoon. I guess I just have to find
something to put on and go over there and let's
get eggplant e okay, something sexy, but not like in
your face sexy, like every day, you know, casual. I
just rolled out of bed, and I'm sexy. But I
when I roll out of bed, I don't look sexy.
I've got all the stuff in my hair. I've got
I've gotta put my glasses on. I have this the
(12:45):
my mouthguard at night. Well, first of all, you've got
you've got a text back. What do I text back?
You know what, I'm going to change the subject. I'm
going to change the subject. I don't want this to
get sexual. I'll just tell him about the garden and
and the and the orchard. You know, the peaches are in,
the peaches are in. I'll change the subject. I'll just
(13:05):
we'll talk about the peaches. So I'll just I'm just
gonna send him some peaches. Larry, what the fund is
this quote text sent from you to me? Linda is
being such a bit right now? Uh m hmm. Explain
(13:29):
how it got to you again? Who were you trying
to text that I and being such a bit right
now to you, Linda, that's your choice of communication with
me these days. Well, I was speaking about you in
the third person to you, so we could look at
(13:50):
this objectively and you know, make some adjustments to our relationships.
So you know, every now and then, if if I'm
acting up, can send me a text says that Larry's
being an asshole, for instance, so we don't take it personally.
And I like that, that makes sense, that's good. I
(14:11):
just I just want to make sure we continue to
stay closer. And sometimes, you know, they say you can
lose some meaning over text. I disagree. I think i'm
I'm I'm better over text. Well, anyways, my mom's going
to stay for two weeks. I want her to stay
in the bed with me, So if you don't mind
(14:33):
hopping in the air mattress, that would be great. Of course,
I know the drill Mom comes, she sleeps with you,
I'm on the air mattress. And if you complain about
it again, it's going to be like a big problem.
Mm hmmm. Shoot you a quick text, real quick. Okay,
see that Linda has been a bit again. This isn't funny. Oh,
(14:57):
I wasn't trying to be funny. It's just not you, babe,
but like, let's like look outside of ourselves and Lena's
being a real fucking bitch again, you know what I mean.
I just don't. I just feel like when I'm reading
it in texts, it's hurtful, but it's not like the
way that you're saying it is even worse. It's so
it's so aggressive, build up hate. I'm going to clarify this.
(15:21):
Um okay, just sent you another one. Listen. I know
that I said that this is a good idea, and
I do think that it does have merit. But we've
established that you felt that way earlier, and I want
to now connect with you as a human to human
and try to um figure this out. It says Lena
(15:42):
is a bitch because her mom's a bitch. Wow, this
is a big This is a big this is a
big line across I'll get the air mattress. It's really
something that we still are together, let me just say that,
and are pretty intimate, uh more than once a month,
which I think is pretty exciting because some of my
(16:04):
friends don't. Anyway, Hey, wend are you gonna go visit
your daughter? I am? I look Linda and Linda and Larry.
I think they're having some problems. And you know, sometimes
the mom's just gotta go in there, you know, and
you know, take care of things. I gotta take care
(16:26):
of my little girl. You know, I understand that I
do the same thing with Veronica. Well, you know, maybe
I'll text you while you're there getting the hang of
it here, Uh, text you some fun stuff, you know,
kind of keep things spicy in our relationship. I mean,
I like it when you when you do keep things spicy.
I I don't know if we want to have another
mishap like on beach day when I showed up in
(16:51):
that outfit. But now you know what we're learning. We've
been learning, and that's what's important. You know, we're now
we know how to text each other. Will send me
my send me some emojis. I want to. I want
to see if I can guess what you're saying. All right, up.
You are so cute the way the way that you
look like at your phone down like that when you're concentrating,
(17:12):
you just get this little twinkle in your eye. It's
just really cute. Okay, and send there you go. Oh see,
this is where I'm confused, though, Conrad. This is how
I get confused, because now you know what an egg
plant means, and now that you know what it means,
(17:35):
you're just sending me lots of egg plants. Do you
understand I'm trying to tell you something here where? Yeah?
I don't know. I mean I just kind of like
jump started my dad's for a into texting as sexting,
(17:55):
and I realized that that's kind of weird and a
little creepy, But I don't know. It's it's been a
long time for him. And is your relationship with your
father improving? He's happier, he's happier, so um, yeah, he
talks to me in like a better tone for sure. Um.
(18:17):
He seems to be more into the idea of me
moving in Um, which is a positive. And how about work?
Does everyone still hate you? Yeah? Everyone still hates m um.
It's now getting to the point where they're putting flyers
on the bulletin board. H And you can like, sorry, sorry,
(18:40):
I'm sorry, I'm laughing at something else. What are you
laughing at? Just I guess I'm on a text thread
with a bunch of other therapists. Okay, Um, well, yeah,
people that work still hate me. Um, should we end
(19:02):
our session early or no? No, no, We've got an hour.
I gotta say I love therapist happy hour. This is nice.
Have a couple of drinks at a discounted rate and
just shoot the ship. Shoot the ship. Let's talk about
the crazy. I mean, the gifts that you send are
(19:26):
great on the thread, but be able to to to
expand on those I r L makes a huge difference.
What's going on with that narcissist you're you're treating? Oh well, um,
he still thinks it's all about him by definition, so
(19:49):
and so if you recall you're my last session I
sent mirror emoji z z z. It's like he's a look,
it's all about him, and I'm like, I'm tired knowing
another picture of Rita's Yes, yeah, let's do it. Let's
do it, so Berna, Berna, are you still seeing one
of your patients? Is that still? Yeah? I got pregnant
(20:13):
last week? What he got me pregnant last week? Congratulations?
He's married? Right that this is just like a flaing thing. Well,
I actually, you know a lot of the focus goes
onto him and his issues, and for me, this is
actually quite amazing. Because um, we didn't think that I
(20:34):
me and my team of doctors didn't think that I
could conceive. So oh, miRNA, I just you're getting a
text from me, and that was that was not meant
for you. So just just just ignore or delete that
as it comes in. So rob am, I supposed to
(20:58):
be Miss Piggy in this job. That's supposed to be me.
Uh no, that was that was for someone else. And
it's just because we were because you just told me
that it was about me. Uh okay, yes, you're supposed
to be Miss Piggy. Okay, geez one. He really appreciate
(21:24):
you indulging me in my cuckle fantasy. I mean, I
didn't know this was going to be part of this relationship,
but I mean if if if you wanted this, I mean, sure, honey,
that's you, and you can take the robe off if
you want. It's it's oh my wow, wow. That is
(21:48):
at egg Plant Parmeer genre. That's our pers Scene Scene
two comes to us for Alchemniak Katherine Wasser was I
don't know, She writes high Alchemist seen suggestion prom night
(22:14):
have fun. Katherine just scooch over a little so I
can get both of you real good in the picture.
Get Nope, but don't not not I mean, don't put
your arm around her, but not like that. You know,
you kids are so cute, scooch close. She's my sister
and that feels well, she's you know what, But tonight
(22:37):
she's your prom day, isn't she? Because somebody didn't ask
someone soon enough, so someone's got his older sister going
as his prom day. Yes, sir, okay, And if we
could just agree that we're going to be home by
ten thirty. I have court very early in the morning.
Your sister is a is a very important lawyer. Now,
(23:00):
she's a very important lawyer. You gotta get her home
early so that she can she's working on some cases. Okay,
you guys in the same didn't you guys? Were you
in class together so you ended up being a photographer
and you're hello, huh. Some of us don't do as
well in school, okay, some of them. This is not
about us. This is not about this family unit. This
(23:23):
is about you two scooching close together so I can
get a good picture. But you two knew each other,
so I'm asking, yeah, yes, yes, we knew each other.
We knew each other. Is that what you asked? Are you?
Are you gonna bring this up? That that that that
the old man failed out of failed out of law
(23:43):
school again? Is that what we're gonna keep bringing up? No,
I just thought, Okay, we're gonna score, We're gonna scooch
closer for a picture. Yeah. No's but you two were
you were friends? Right, Yeah, I'm a little lost. I'm
not gonna lie. I'm a little lost. Kevin's Yes, we
(24:07):
were friends. We were classmates, we were a father daughter,
we were everything. It was a crazy thing that happened.
And would someone else use a time machine in a
different way? He check out Thompson. He brought a sister
mom the prom again every year. Man, I no matter,
(24:35):
no matter how many times we go over all the
mystery and intrigue in that family, I still cannot wrap
my head around the full situation. You know, he shouldn't have.
That was a bad way to do time travel, because look,
I have these gills now because of what he did.
All right, he messed up the timeline. Now I got gills,
(24:56):
and he's at the problem with the system. Mom. Yeah,
but I guess you know it? Is it like maybe
you've always had gills, and you know, it's just like
this is the way it's supposed to happen, you know,
because if time is a loop, then you're just supposed
to have girls, right, Yeah, I guess you're right. I
don't remember a time when I didn't have gils. Okay, okay,
(25:18):
look after this dance, I'm gonna hop back into that
machine and make some different choices. But before I do,
I need some clarification. I thought you were my sister,
and you and you okay, and you were just a
guy taking pictures, and I was trying to establish that
you two probably knew each other from before. Wait wait, wait, wait, wait.
First of all, let's just say this. We talked about this.
(25:43):
You were not supposed to keep the time machine. Nevertheless,
bring it to your prompt to bring pographer. Yes, I
thought you were my sister both. I know it's a
little wonky, but it's true. It's Senior da Vinci. I
see these plans you made for the time of machine.
(26:04):
But I wonder, Senor da Vinci, do you think do
you think this could several hundred years from now getting
used in a kind of a wonky way, like incorrectly,
like like it could mess up with the family relationships.
I don't know if we should have been messing with
the spacetime and continue and miss my point. Senor DaVinci, Okay,
(26:27):
who is the master? Giuseppe? You you, Senor DaVinci, Master.
We all know you're the master. Let me let me
ask you. Did you make it a Vietrovian man? Yes,
I make it a Trouvian man. His arms are above
his head, his arms to the side, his arms on
the bottom, his legs spread whide, his legs closer together.
I drew out the Vitruvian man, just as you asked
me to. Or do you mean did I come up
(26:48):
with the concept? Did you come up with the guns? No?
I know you came up with the concept. Okay, alright,
So I think I'm a time of in. Is gonna work?
Justify just I know it? It will work. It that's
the problem. It's a photographer. Yeah, I think we're we're
(27:11):
getting a little lost here. Yeah, tell me where I mean? Yeah,
I'm a photographer. I was. I assumed you knew I
was your father? Yes, they call him dad, don't that
That's what That's what was confusing me. Well, you see,
(27:33):
I saw this at the at the prom, at the
gymnasium itself. Not we are right now dancing. Yeah, but
look they're still trying to work it out. They don't
even know themselves. It's that confused, it really is. Hey,
you might splashing some water on me. I'm being tired. Yeah,
(27:56):
you breathe, you breathe water. That's that's how it works.
You're fishman. So the assam was that my father was
at the actual problem and not at I wouldn't understand
the stairway picture in the home. Okay, Okay, okay, I
gotta stop a things right here. Sorry, yes, yes, don't
don't freak out. Oh my gosh, I'm a Leonardo da Vinci.
(28:22):
Holy hell. Okay, it wasn't never supposed to get this way. Okay,
are you alive? Are you an apparition? No? No, I'm
a hearing What is this? Two? Yes? Yeah? In in
the United States of America, Okay, in a California, Okay,
(28:47):
in a Los Angeles. This is amazing, all right, Mr Gail,
Mrs Amacas, Mr Spielberg, We've got some notes on your
first aff for Back to the Future. H We're gonna
keep the prom setting. We like that, and we're gonna
keep the mom relationship, but we're not going to make
(29:10):
it as complicated as you did. We're not gonna put
a sister part in. Well really, yeah, that's not really
tracking for us, because I mean, the whole idea of
a guy having to take his sister to the prom,
but the photographer is also his dad, and the dad
here's the important. The important is the dad and sister
(29:33):
were friends. All Right, I'm gonna think of all the
complications that that will ensue. So let me ask you
a question. Is there a scenario where I hop back
in that sheet machine and when I come back, you're
not my mom or my sister, but you're just my
(29:53):
straight up prom date. This is a creepy question. The
way that you're looking at me, it seems like you
don't want me to be your family anymore, and that
I don't like that. Listen, the only person who can
go you should be carrying this around. This isn't your
time machine. Okay, your father photographer and I found it
(30:18):
together when we were on our honeymoon. It's not yours
to tote around, and it's not yours to go into.
We are the ones who went into it, and we
are the only ones who could go back. Fine, if
Leonardo was right, these are the rules, he told me.
(30:40):
What are you saying, Mom's this? I'm I mean, I'm
just saying it's all kind of a wash, right, Like
it's all just hypothetical. Zone really knows what if I
punched Dad right now? You just punched him, but not
really kicked out of the prom. You're lucky that's turned
(31:03):
out for what's playing, and you're lucky about that. So
tell me again which one is the carnitas and the
which one is the carne asada? Because of that, they
all taste amazing to me, Mr da Vinci. If you've
just been standing next to us with this buffet plate

breaking the law. We're just breaking the law, you know,
piecing people off sometimes and that's fine too. Yeah, sometimes
(36:16):
that is fine because no one, no one can really
know what true happiness is if they don't experience true rage. Wow,

worked in years? Well, then no, they know what I
don't need somebody who hasn't worked in years, and then
