Welcome to part 2 of The Tragedy of the Incels, where Tim and LeeAnna continue to dive into the fascinating world of Incels - because why not tackle one of the internet’s favorite rage-fueled, basement-dwelling subcultures? They share their personal run-ins with incels, and hey, sounds like one of them might actually be the same guy - small world, huh? After that, we’ll take you on a little journey through the awkward and uncomfortable encounter of the fictional James and Alice in a Buckhead bar. In one version, James awkwardly pulls off some charm despite his deep-seated resentments, and in the other, well… his incel grievances do the talking, ruining the moment (shocker). As for Alice, she’s just trying to be nice to a stranger. Tune in for a dose of modern madness, because, let’s face it, the world of human interaction is often more tragic than we’d like to admit.

As usual, this episode of Alchemy is ad-free, because we know you don’t need another commercial about miracle face creams or the latest “miraculous” weight loss pills. But since we’re all about offering solutions, let’s talk about the real game-changer: Incel Repellant - the scent every woman needs in her life. What does it smell like, you ask? Confidence. That’s right, it’s the unmistakable aroma of “I’m not here for your nonsense,” blended with a dash of “maybe you should check yourself before you wreck yourself.” Just one spritz, and those incels won’t know what hit 'em. Alchemy, bringing you the finest in personal empowerment.
