but may your drawer smell of herring if you think
him least? Mr James Heeny jaw dropping Hayman, Uh, describe

(01:07):
your perfect morning? Perfect morning? I wake up at eight
am and don't feel tired. Coffee is already ice and fridge,
and there's silence all about me. Silence. Well then I
make them noise, but it starts with silence because I
live next to construction that has been going on for
six years, and it begins. They are allowed to start

(01:27):
at seven a m. Are they building a weapon? To end?
They're building a house across the street. Now, they did
build above my house, next to my house there, it's
just Venice, you know, Venice, Italy. Yeah, I do know.
All right, let's get to our first scene, showering. All
today's scene suggestions were gathered from our listener mails. If
you'd like to submit yours, please write to the podcast
at your name here at alchemy this dot com. I'm
gonna repeat that your name here at alchemy this dot com.

(01:52):
Our first scene comes from Trey, who wrote, Hey, guys,
thanks for making me laugh my head off for hours.
Way up here in Alaska. I'm working the oil fields
in the Arctic tundra and have been telling all my
coworkers to listen to the show. Hey co workers, Hey Trey,
thanks for keeping morale up and bringing lots of joy
to a pretty harsh environment. The animals here have these

(02:13):
massive world rebound seasonal migrations. Wow. Uh, And I thought
it could be a great topic if the crew were
migratory animals who had somehow got lost and we're trying
to find their way. I have fun, guys. Thanks for
keeping us all entertained up here, Trey Milner, Thank you, Trey. Oh,

(02:38):
I think you took us the wrong way. This is
not warmer. What makes you say that? I could see
my breath all right, you're gonna say your breath for
another month? Why that's the route? What damn? We can
find a different route, Margaret. We've been over this for centuries,

(02:59):
it seem, but I'm sure it's only been a couple
of years. Which route would you like to go again?
There's a faster route if we were willing to go
over there. Hey, y'all, h what's my name? What's my mind?
Just get robbed down to the Tiana Tana pleasure on

(03:22):
this little beautiful squad of critters? Is always this cold here? Yes?
It is this cold here? Often colder as a harp
signal myself. I love it. Nice to meet you, pleasure
to meet y'all. What are y'all, it'll look funny. We're

(03:42):
wolves working our way across. Don't bot tianna. We're not
here to eat seals? Was it harp sales? Oh? Your instrument?
You play an instrument. Let's a good one heard at
about a million times, and I'll give you chuckle for fun.

(04:03):
Help y'all some fishes or something? Fish sounds good? Weren't
love a fish? All this little gunlets of fishes? He
doesn't need it as much as he thinks. There, y'all,
y'all gonna slop that up? What's that grouper? That was grouper? Good?
A wolf? Hey? Hey wolves? Wolves? Hey wolves? Where are

(04:28):
you going? Look? Come? What's it to you? What's it
to me? I I've got a bird's eye view of everything. Here.
Can you point us north? North? Oh? Really you don't
know where north is? Well? I thought I did, but
my family is questioning my guidance. Look, if we could
just get over the mountain, we could just probably just
take a direct route if we went over the mountain,

(04:48):
and then we'd be there faster. And I don't know,
that's an awfully big mountain. Listen to hank over here,
Just birds, bird brine, so you see that big setting
sun over there is Yeah, that's west. Uh huh, yeah,

(05:08):
we know that part. So then go about ninety degrees
to the other way, to the right where the setting
sun is. That's due north. But that is going to
take you directly over to Nali. That's a big one,
which the big mountain. Well, we're gonna settle here for

(05:28):
the night. Where are I'll trying the guilt to I
could say it, but I'm not sure your harp sealed
mine could absorb it. I probably all know what it
means that I've love to learn a new word. Alright,
stupid fucking animals, my dinner tonight, my delicious tonight. You're

(05:59):
not moving. Oh you're to look at that stupid as seal.
Maybe I'll eat some seafood tonight. That fucking bird up there?
Why would you shoot me? Take the bird? Would wait?
Did you just say take the bird? Is the fucking
animals talking to me? I'm not so well? What the fuck?

(06:22):
And I do not need you pointing that gun. Okay,
I must be I must be dehydrated. This is crazy.
You are dehydrated? Oh my god, Okay, there's no way
these animals are talking. Put the mouth of your gun
below your chin. I got Stewart. I don't know how
to swim them. I'll be swimming when I was a
day old. Wait, put the mouth of my gun below
your chin? What does that mean? That means the the

(06:44):
end point there? Whatever you go. You're an animal. You
don't understand what guns got. You give me your hand
and now you all show that for his competence, I'll
take humans. I have comperences. I put them in that ball.
I look at them to figure it out. Where are
they go? Give me your entire well, I also have

(07:04):
a gun. Give me your gun. What give me the gun.
You are way too young to be walking around with
that kind of dangerous well handed over. You're not the
boss of me. You don't really want to kill us there. Well,
I'm starving, s I know this is what do you what?

(07:30):
Would you rather be eating? Wolf meat? But if you
had your choice of any food, maybe any meal, maybe that,
maybe bird? Yeah, I keep thinking. I think they tastes
like chicken. Very gamy. I'm very gamy. Everybody says they're gamy.
You don't tell you cook it. That's a damn for it.

(07:52):
That's how you prepare it. Why don't you go get
him some food or something. That's a great idea. What
do you like Do you like seed? No, you can't
get it for me. My dad sent me on this mission,
and he said, if I don't bring home food for
the family, then I'm not a man. That's a little
presser put tell me about it. That's how's the old
man feel about sushi fish? I mean, probably fine, but

(08:13):
it has to look like I caught it. Not fair enough.
He's not gonna believe me that all these animals are
talking to me. There's a stream with a salmon or
or or swimming up stream, But you're okay with me
eating them. We could grab a couple of those for you.
They don't talk. We talk on talk talk to fish.

(08:33):
Why don't you join us? Yeah right, You wouldn't even
have me give us a moment. What do you think
I mean? If it's away for him not to kill us,
he's got a gun. I'm way up here. If you're whispering,
I can't hear you. Also, I can't really travel with
all I got, like clost of water. I can't be

We're trying to make up for lost time, and I'd

You know, with this group of passengers. Do you have
any suggestions of of new bits I can try? I

(21:20):

the standard template of jokes. But Randy, I prefer if

give it a little bit of heart. You know, these
people are they're trying to get to destinations that you know,
maybe they're going to a funeral. Maybe they're headed to

(21:42):

crowd work. Crowd work, that's it, Crandy, Thank you, thanks captain.

just going to set her to auto pilot if everybody
wants to take a turn. Just are we front loading
the weight of this place a little bit? It's like
there's eight of us in the cod bit. You know,
it would take at least thirty five people up here

It would keep the nose, it would keep the snow
the snout down, otherwise known as skip sky tip. This

in the error and sometimes it goes to my head.
I'm sorry. I just don't have power in my life.

(31:12):
And then I saw two guns on the floor. It's
like maybe I could have power, but like it wasn't
a great idea. I used to have power and then
I feel like she took it away. And that was
felt like, well, it's not true cause someone's just like
intervene and that's not true. I got married. Yeah, I
gave all my power up. At the end of the story,

co pilot speaking bart is Uh. You know I I

(33:26):

you know, getting the honor of sharing a cockpit with him.
You haven't seen me. But I've been on a lot
of your flight's part and you're great. Part's underselling himself.
Thank you. That's the first time I was able to
trick in let me in. Honestly, I've tried that trick
many times. Well, if you're having trouble your manhood, maybe
I can offer you some nuts. Randy showed himself out.

(33:55):
Bless Randy and Uh. He's hoping that the gig on
the cruise ship works a little bit better than on
the Plean. Our final scene today comes from Joshua, who wrote, Hello,
welcome this especially James Heeney. What do you mind if
I call you Jim Burrino? No, no, no, no, I

(34:18):
don't okay cool. My name is Joshua nettor Hood and
then Parenthaeses. I don't know how to pronounce my surname either.
Have fun and I love the show. Um. Last week
I threw my back up while I was sitting not
easy to do doing absolutely nothing, but still decided to
listen to your new episode, knowing that each belly laugh
would cause me men's agony. That's how much I love

(34:40):
you guys to pitch. Here we go, Uh, In about
a week, I'll be leaving my temp job in Chicago,
driving across the country to San Francisco, where I'll be
joining my mom, my sister, my brother in law, my girlfriend,
and maybe more in what will essentially be a commune,
because that's the only way we can afford rent in
that crazy part of the world. I would love to
hear your version of what I'm about to start. And

(35:02):
then at the end here it says the listeners complain
about the tedious work as uh, my, my work is sensational.
As proof, I spent a good chunk of my day
at the office tracking nineteen nicknames at Kevin Game gave
James and calculating that about were rejected out right. My
favorite one though, was old Donkey see the data set here.

(35:25):
And then I sent you all pictures of this guy chart.
We've got to figure out a way. Yes, we can
do a screen rap. It really was an amazing job.
So thank you, Joshua nettor Hood. And now we take
you to that commune as you are joining the others. Peaches, peaches,

(35:46):
anybody peaches. Got a big basket, fresh basket, fresh peaches.
Thank you, joy say, oh there's plenty for everyone. Yeah, yeah,
I'll need one piece of your clothing for the peach.
Of course, of course you t shirt. I love that shirt.

(36:07):
Thank you. Take my tunic tunic it intries count Yeah,
of course, give you the anklic anklet it is. Hey,
I'll give you one of my one of my shoes. Man, Okay,
I'll give you a pair of shoes for two delicious peaches.
I like your style and the cut of your rookie

(36:27):
stike though you're gonna need your shoes on the island.
This isn't what you think it is. It's not about
giving away as little as possible. It's about equal exchange,
being goods. Do you think a peach is worth more
than an anglic because I thought it was generous. Okay,
if you thought so, then that's fine, that's fine. Just

(36:48):
next time. I mean, we're going to have a meal tonight,
so you might want to consider what you want to
give away for that meal. I'm running out of stuff.
That's kind of the purpose. Yeah, I don't have anything.
I'm completely naked, So how do you get peaches? Well,
once you have nothing, then you get to eat for free.
Ins Oh yeah, and I got to give sex away,

(37:10):
but I was going to give that away for free. Anyway,
you've got to give sex away, giving it away, I have,
I say doing it. It's an exchange. I've gotten an
unlimited feel about this. I'm I'm so blessed to have
landed here and um and be and be able to

(37:34):
just experience. She found two suitcases when she came in.
She's got a while to go. I have, um, the
six pairs of tights that I'm trying to whittle down. First,
I had a bunch of what are you worried about
this six stuff? Am I worried about sex? Now? I

(37:55):
feel like a prode when you say it like that,
I don't mean it in frudish way. I've had sex,
but I'm isn't it just doesn't seem like you have
sex with a peachman? Well, I'll love pages. Well, the
peach man is more than just a peachman. He's the
provider but his knees are covered in scabs. That's because
he works hard for us. Um, we're not. You showed

(38:18):
up here and we're so happy you did. But we
are a family. Obviously rent is mega expensive, so we're
giving always some of our personal things, such a sex,
to make up for the high rent costs. Also, how
judgmental to say that, um, scabs would make you not

(38:40):
to be with a person. I think a scab is
just an outward scar, you know, and you know Jammy
and gross. When I was at Altimont, Man, everybody was
covered in scabs, but there was free love and it
was beautiful. I mean, fraid love sounds nice, but having

(39:02):
to have sex for a peach sounds less. Well, you
don't have to. You also just don't have to eat
the peach. If peaches are your thing. That I thought
it was like a yoga thing. You know, we're going
to eat all right, my family. I've got very on
the nose of what you are cucumbers because I've actually

(39:23):
picked cucumbers provider. Who would like a cuca? I love
have a cucumber the book Cucumber. Let me just place
this cucumber right up here. There we go enjoy your cucumber.
Thank you very much, but I'm going way. Why who
else would like my cucumber? A cucumber? Well, he had

(39:46):
no place else to put it, provider. Tanya seems to
be having a difficult time understanding on the way things working.
I am new, so ye pleasure pleasure. I thought it
was a yoga thing, right. We will be doing yoga, definitely,
we'll be doing yoga. Man, you don't have to do yoga,
but if you'd like to. I'm not concerned about the yoga.

(40:08):
I would like to do the yoga. I don't. I
don't want a cucumber, you know, via the delivery system.
I'm more concerned. I've cash. I brought cash. Get that
out of it. We don't, we don't, don't. Please eyes
not in the share that I was giving. Patience, everyone, Please,

(40:32):
we've talked about this. Tanya's new. You need time. If
you'd like us to take your cash, we'll do that.
But anytime you'd like it back, let us know. I
want you to take it in exchange for goods. Sure,
how much cash? Yes, dear? Should we send Tanya to
the shame tent? Why would she want me to be

(40:54):
in the shame Tin. Well, soon enough, you'll probably a
couple of days in the shame Tent. Don't want to
go to the shime tent. Really has a really good point.
As always, we take it to a vote, all in
favor of the newcomer. Time vote against the shame Tin.
The newcomer who again, I've asked you to be patient,
listen to the provider. I mean, he seems like to

(41:18):
the shame Tent would show a lack of patience. But
as always, the vote is ours. I vote that she
does not go in the shakey Provider. How about your brother,
I say no to the shame t Shame time, sister,
I stand firm on shame Tesse really wants me to
be in the really spent has spent more time in
the shame Tin than anyone else here the moment. It

(41:40):
did a lot for me. You know, when I came
in here, I had a New Zealand accent too, But
I learned to get rid of that because like you know, um,
did you get the brochet? Did you feel tricked? No?
I mean at first maybe, and then I shamed it out.
So I want to sign it out. I don't want
to shign it out. What's your vote. I shamed it

(42:01):
that a long time ago. And I'll tell you what,
I have never been the same sense. He don't love it.
He doesn't actually get a vote. You'll understand enough. What
about you, brother? Where do we stand right now? We're
at to no shame tent and one shame tent, so
this would be the tie. Well, if there's a tie,
I'll break it myself. I'm voting no shame tent. Newcomer.

(42:25):
You don't actually get a vote. Wait, you don't know
the rules here, man, I don't know. She's kind of
making some sense. I'm part of the group signed the
brochure thing, right, But it's your faith that's being decided
by the group. That's the reason. Brother. Let's say, well,
first of all, I'll say, like, don't assume that just
because you're going to the shame tent that you're the

(42:47):
one feeling shame. Man, We're gonna feel shamed for putting
you there, So let's avoid that by not putting anyone
in the shame tin. Maybe we deserve that shame for
judging you in the first place. You both make terrific points,
and now it falls on you, brother, it's a tie.

(43:08):
Three to one. Oh gosh, I think tie goes to
the runner, So get running, okay, White, Oh boy, oh
my god. Welcome to the shame tent time. How are

(43:32):
you my first time? I'm not sure the protocol. You're
doing great? Do I keep my flip flops on or
however you feel comfortable? Okay, I'll keep my flips on. Okay,
here's your robe? What was your name, Tanya? Tanya? Here's
your rope? Darling. Thank you? That's nice. Itchy, Sorry, it's

(43:53):
all right. Some get used to it. It's a bigger
tin than I forget for a shame tin. Are we
that talk? No? You just look at art? I see
what it? Please take this pot? Do I just eat it?
Is it a smirking yeah? Nice to meet you, Tanya.

(44:15):
I am a coyote. Why goody, clioty the pot smoke?
M here we go. I'm feeling a little ashamed, and
why you stare it me? Does make me feel awkward.
I'll join this drum circle for the next three days.

(44:36):
Oh no, oh, no more, same lily. Um. I feel
like we've been growing apart recently. Can you say that
we're in an embrace right now? Our naked bodies laying

(44:58):
in the field and never felt close there. And isn't
that interesting that I feel further away from you than
I've ever felt? What if I do this? Oh god, okay, okay,
that's usually where the cucumbers go. Millie, that's usual, and
that's I think that's part of the problem here. You're
not taking this seriously. Maybe right, Maybe maybe I need

(45:24):
some time in the shame tent. I don't know if
you can just send yourself there, will you quote me?
And wouldn't you? I don't know. It's just the way
you look at Provider recently. It just makes me feel
like I don't know what I want anymore. I don't
know which ways up, I don't know which way is down.
Some it sounds like somebody's going through about of jealousy.

(45:44):
Maybe I am, And that makes me feel shameful. There
you two are. What did you like some cherries today?
Which had some freshly picked cherry? Provider? Would you delay
with us? I know you're busy. I'd be happy to
come and put the best if carry is down coming here? Oh? So,
how are things well? Be just discussing? Yes, No, I'm

(46:11):
uncomfortable lately. And why is that. I thought I was
in a good place and then I felt this. I
thought you were turning of jealousy and resentments coming through talking.
I just feel like I thought Lily was going to
be my partner. He said, we get what you are
his partner. Isn't that right? I own you? Own her? Guy?

(46:31):
A ship? Oh, conn, I'm coming over. What party? We
were just discussing ownership. I'll be with you in a second,
naked Dan, Yeah, take it down or not with you? Guys? Yeah,
that's a good example of quiet. No one owns anyone here.
Why would you use such a word. Oh, I thought
she loves your property. She loves you. Isn't that enough?

(46:55):
I guess not. We left all those properties outside and
I forget that. Okay, that's how we were trained, it's
how we were raised, It's how we were taught. This
is a new order. He loves you, and that love
is more important than anything. Yeah, beautiful provider, that was beautiful.
How do you think Tony is doing? We're all worried

(47:16):
about it too. Okay, this is going crying. Let's take five.
Want to take five? I remember on your third day
you exited the shame tent with no accent. It was
amazing to finally be free. Miracles. That was one of them,

(47:41):
I guess, because we don't have an accent at all
to anybody. Somehow, when we leave the Shame Tent, we're
leaving your life behind, your life behind that. I'm sorry
interrupt guys, just carry on. Well that it was twice.

(48:04):
Have you heard any word on Tanya? Yeah? Man, she's
been in there for three days now. Nobody's lasted. I'm
feeling so much shame. Man. Oh, that's kind of the point.
Should we go out there and uh, shall we check
onto some Let's do it the big Okay? Yeah, can
we call it a wrap on that one? I think
we got that one down. Let's just wrap that one

(48:27):
and start a new track. You'll know when it's done.
You'll know when it's done, greeting when it's done, Tanya,
don't know when have I done? How are you feeling?
You know? I feel renewed, I I feel thirsty, and

(48:47):
we have lots of one. Did you see coyotes in
a drum circle? There's nothing in this tent? Man, Oh man,
there's nothing in the tent. Oh my god, you're fine
when you bring in how did you know I was
going to bring in kyos circle. Welcome to the rest
of your life. Here's some water, d is Lily's saliva.
