Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of my favorite podcast, Alchemy. This I am your guest host, Chris Alvarado. I am sitting in for Kevin Pollock. Yes, that Kevin Pollock. It's hard to sit in his seat, you know, it's hard to take over this position. But he's trusting me with it, and I am so happy to the Tool. I I messed up that word. Now now I'm flailing in the intro. Everybody, We're going down, but I'm gonna. I'm gonna pull this plane up and we are back.
We are back. It's not just me. You heard me say a tool's name. I'm joined by other Alchemists. So let's say hello to them, in no particular order. We're gonna start with James Heeney. Hi, James, Hi, I got a little scared there. I gotta hello. No, no, no, You're good. You're good. You're good, James, James, I have a question for you. Okay, do you have a good relationship with your primary physician? No? No, I I had not been to the doctor in almost twenty years, and
I might my primary care physician in January. We've had a great like forty five minutes together and all my things came back great, luckily, except I have to stop eating hashbrows as much and now I eat oatmeal. But I love it, you know, it's great. Wow, Well, well are you gonna are you going to develop this relationship? Are you gonna keep going back around? I was supposed to schedule another another one in March, and well it's
thet and it didn't happen. So but once I got all those numbers back and it was so good, I was like, well, I can go another twenty years. I don't think that's how it works. Um, well, you heard her chiming in, so let's say hello to her. Everybody makes a noise for Jackie der Ruthy. I'm so sorry. I'm nervous in the chest now, James, I'm nervous in the chest. I am all about preventative care, and um,
you should be seeing a doctor once a year. It is free to just do the preventative wellness situation stuff. You should be seeing a dermatologist. You're a fair man. You should be. I mean, there are things so I'm getting I'm a little heated. I'm a little nervous in the chest, to be honest, after hearing that well, once I started eating oatmeal, the nervousness in my chest went away. I don't think. I don't think the oatmeal was a cure. Girl.
But Jackie, you said you're getting heated, right, and it's no it's no secret that you are a fan of the Miami Heat. That's right. My question for you, though, is are you actually good at playing basketball? If you actually ball or you are you just a fan? To tell you I've never balled in my life would be the truth. I never played. I was, I'm not. I mean, yeah, I'm not athletic. Maybe I'm athletic, but I'm not a contact sport girl. I just never kind of did it.
I was a leader and then uh, which is its own sport and its own right. And then I did like theater and danced, which is also athletic in its own right. But I never dabbled. I had asthma. And running and I are not friends. Though dancing and I are friends. There's something also when I run, I get I've tried it a couple of times, and I get full body hives. Uh, my body is not used to a circulation, and I get so itchy, like I am.
I'm in so much pain. I ran with my husband Pat before once and he was like, never again, Jackie, like this is so embarrassing, and I was like, but I'm so like look at me, like it's not just that I'm saying I'm itchy, Like you can see how red my body is, and like also like the parts that get red first, like the jigliat parts. And so he's like, pull your shorts down, like stop showing me your ass, Like, but look, how I just I haven't spent a lot of time with you. I guess I
don't know. I haven't. I've spent more time with you online than I have in person. I just can't imagine these giggly parts of you. You know, everyone has, everybody, you know, that's the thing. Everybody has jiggly parts. And you can be a petite, a sweet, petite princess like me and still have jiggli jiggli situations. I will not take up all of this time, but it's a natural part of the body. Yes, yes, I did, and tell you how to preventative care situation search we couldn't find
any I do. I love I love watching basketball and I really want to play, but my feet have been sucked up for two years, and so that is my main goal is like, once I get my feet back to a hundred, I want to start playing basketball. But when I say that, I'm like, no, I want to shoot around. I don't want to. Can you imagine how cute would be if you and Craig were just met up met up on Tuesday mornings to shoot around for
a couple of hours. That would be so cute. I would love and it would make sense because we lived at each other. Speaking of which, ladies and gentlemen makes the noise for Craig Ktkowski. Craig, when's the last time you got good and drunk, like a real nice one, you know, one of those like whoa, it's been a minute, it's within the last month, so it's it is. Yeah, So it's probably not like an amusing anecdote. It's more
like cry for help. No. I probably at most will drink one or two nights a week, you know, and usually you know, one and done. Um. But I think there's something about the pandemic and the lack of social opportunities that when we do have a social opportunity, I tend to go a little overboard. So just getting together with some friends from the neighborhood, and like the wine kept comment and nobody was saying no. And you know it's it's a two it's a two minute drive home,
you know. Uh so, like the conditions were right, yeah, but I uh yeah, I I felt it the next day. Okay, regrets, no, And that's why you can drink. Drink. That's why I had to stop, because the next day it was all regrets for a full week. Okay, here we go movie speaking of a man who probably has no regrets. Let's make some noise for a tool saying everybody, you just got back from a long flight, just flew in last night, and now you are here available for us, and we
appreciate that, we appreciate your time. There's my question for you, a tool. And I'm really just you're so fascinating. You know, my my dad met you at my wedding and he was a huge fan of yours. Everybody who meets you is such a huge fan of yours. That's true across the board. I'm wondering for yourself, do you allow yourself time to stop and smell the roses? Do you take time for a tool? I do? I think so? I think that's that's important for for a tool or anything small.
I don't know. Before before I lived India, my dad has has this like a minivan type car. And I made a point to be like, hey, thanks for getting that car because it was we're in traffic quite a bit in India and it's nice to be in a big car. And it was just like I was like, I gotta appreciate that having that car makes the traffic so bearable. And yeah, I was just like, I just
gotta go say thanks. You know, I've been complaining about a lot of stuff, so I was like, hey, I just wanna say that decision you made eight years ago to buy that car brilliant. So but yes, yes, and I am Facebook friends with my doctor James. Okay, I mean sho, I feel like this could be the whole show, but I guess people, I was just thinking, what is there a podcast that's just welcoming people and then you wrap it up like this is great, This is great.

Hi, guys, thank you so very much for continuing to provide such high quality nonsense.
It really is the finest. I just got back from a trip to Chicago and of course had to go to a Cubs game, which inspired my scene suggestion hot dog guy versus beer guy. Thanks for the last Beck's from Montana. Hot Dogs get your hat, dogs code beer code beer at dogs two for six dollars. You can't beat that deal. Dogs dogs cold beer too for five dollars? Could you stop shouting? Hey, let's going on, Jerry. I'm trying to sell some hot dogs and I think that
people are getting confused and they keeping you shout over me. Well, Jerry, were the whole stadium? Sure, sure, but this is my section. You say that people can't have hot dogs and beer cold beer? It please stop it. I'm telling you, like, can I get a hot dog? Uh? Trying to watch the game here? Yes? My issues can't be your issues. Yes? Wait, what are your issues? It's the it's the bun of it all. I don't and I don't like the shape of it. It freaks me out. Then there's the goop
inside condiments freaked me out, scare me. That's my issues. I don't want them to be your issues. Let's get you a hot dog. Dad's watching the game. Should we get him a hot dog? Let's get him a hot dog. Let's get him a hot dog. Sure, let's get him down. Oh my gosh, we are not at home. This is embarrassing. And if you keep doing this to me, I'm gonna I'm trying to raise a family. You know how expensive it is for an apartment in Chicago. Uh No, I I own you. You come in, you come in from
the suburbs, and I live on wavelength. Right, I live on wavelength. It's expensive. You might catch a home run ball if I'm lucky, but most often I just catch a broken window. JA, maybe you need a code beer? Mom? Do you think I could try a beer? Okay, now you're pushing the buttons. Now you you said your issues are my issues. That's not an issue. That's legal. You have alcohol issues. I don't have alcohol issues. What are you trying to say? Every weekend you think I've got
an alcohol issue? You think every weekend? How you change? I get a little different, a little loose, like a little dancy. I get a little fun. What's the problem with that? You're not twenty one. You're not getting a beer. If you don't mind me interrupting, I might say that your alcohol issue is that you don't have a cold beer. And this is definitely not a This is not a beer group right here are you? This is a mom andous son. You're looking for a goopie. Do not yell.
I know this is I know what's your job, but to not yell in my facility. My husband will freak out. He is watching this guy's with you. It looks like it at all. I know. I'll take one hot dog please, right This one's extra goopie just for you. There you go, Jerry, you gotta say, and my mom will have one of those cold ones. Am I up to bat next? Or the running? Just kind of the rudding order, the batting order. I used to do theater in high school, and I
guess you're always kind of confused. Yeah, we know, Jenkins, you always that was Puck. I shouldn't have to say in Midsummer's Night, that's Shakespeare. Um. But I switched to baseball because my father. Yeah, your ninth, your ninth in the coach? Are we talking? Are we talking previous theater experience? I was also in Midsummer Are you looking at Nick Bottom? At your service? I played Nick Bottom, the weaver, He
turns into the donkey, Okay, don't be so proud. Well you just struck out, Okay, yeah, no, I felt bad about that. I overheard we're talking about our coach, coach before I go in. Do you want me to hit it? You know, like I usually do? Or like we tried the other day in rehearsal, rehear sorry practice, Sorry sorry. I used to do theater screen. Was a minor faery role, but it was still my role, a bit of a dance break. Okay, look, everybody gets cast in mid summer.
I'd stream okay, like it's it's an easy Shakespeare play to do for high school and there's a lot of characters in it's you know what, what plays? Did you ever do? I did Corey Elanus? Oh, flashback to coaching Corey Elanus? Who whoa Corey that? Verily? I'd be Corey Corey oh Lanus' back. We made some changes to the to the script and it was more he was more irish than Roman. Oh Roman, I played Caesar. Um, yeah, okay,
look we need somebody at the plate right now. Okay, yeah, why don't we Why are we fighting this this situation we have going on here? Why are we fighting this theater mapping over this ballgame. Why don't we just combine them, Coach, director, if I can call you that, don't call me that. Okay, all right, okay, okay, But but how how how do we combine these two passions of yours? Well? Maybe for starters.
You know, I do a little better when I'm a little ease back on the plate, So maybe I should be standing a bit upstage, you know, in terms of me at home plate situation. Look, whatever helps you get a hit, if you want to call it upstage, down stage, And coach, I was thinking lately, when I've been batting, I've been kind of playing to the guys in front of me. Maybe I should play to the back of the house. Maybe I might hit some more home runs
than project really projecting. Well, yeah, because you've been bunting every time, right, and non bunt situations, right, Okay, a home run would be nice if you want to call that playing to h the crowd in the back. Sure, sure, project project the ball all the way out of the fucking park. Uh, Security Security, Hi, I'm hot, thought guy, um and I and I want to keep this between you and me, but I'd like to report, uh, you
know ed the beer guy. He just he just sold a beer to an underage person, and I would hate to see the whole stadium get shut down, you know, so you might want to take his license and kick him out of here. I'll tell you, I've been doing this job for a long time. One thing, there's one thing that I hate, uh huh, and that's a rat of what somebody who tattle tales. But but but I'm just trying to make a same thing. It's clearly not he sold a beard to somebody for a mom, quote unquote,
but it was clearly for the kids. Come on, so if you were in the mob and somebody committed a murder, you would go and tell somebody is this is this a trick question? Like they do in interviews for chops, I wouldn't join the mob. What kind of interviews are you going on? Family business? Slinging dogs, slinging goopy dogs at at the Cup is a family business. Yeah, my dad sold goopy dogs. I sell goopy dogs, and if I have kids one day, it's going to continue in
the family tradition of two to three. Well, hey there, Jackey, what's going on here? What are you guys talking about? It's just the game. Oh god, we're talking about how he kept doing this year. Well, they're in last place like usual, but they stopped bunting for once, which is nice. We're just talking. We're just talking about his intergenerational family of hot dogs on. Yeah. Well, I come from a long line of biggers. You can't imagine what it's like
in your household. Well, you know, my father started serving beer eighty years ago and earned enough money to buy a nice house in the suburbs. I don't have to do this. I don't even take a salary. I just love serving copy. Jeez, Mom, you're gonna have to talk a little out. I mean we are at the game. Dad hasn't even looked over at us. Yeah, he's in the zone. You know when he watches sports, he's got his blinders on. He's just looking forward. He's in the zone. Honey.
I know. I'm not sure if you're noticing, but oh my god, this team, this team is playing completely different today. Belt in the balls, way out of the park. Something's changed. I love it all right, and you having it okay? Good? And I love you Dad, So that works out great. Don't just keep it down, don't you're pushing it. You aren't pushing it, Mark, can I get one ship? You're
pushing it again. You're really pushing it today, really pushing it to batting Herb Kowalski first base, sag equity after. I think, wow, he's doing like a little Charleston on that plate. To prepare himself. Look at that, you see to take a little take a page out of these players books and change it up. Change it up for yourself, because this you comporting yourself at these games. We don't stop coming, you don't stop misbehaving, and I can't blame myself as the mother. I won't do it. I won't
take any you know, must bill, We'll take it, you know. Uh, honey, honey, what what are you talking about? Oh? Now you're in the family. Oh now you're in the family. Just wanted to check in. How is everything going with that cold bear? I gave your son? You're the one who gave my son cold. I got it for you. I got it for you. And now obviously you've had a few SIPs because you're really wilding out. Now, all right, everybody, the cats out of the bag. I'm loose as a goose.
I'm loose as a Goose. Last game, my son punched me in the face, so you can't imagine that this game, I want to real admit a little bit. I want him to be a little more comportant. And you're over here, look out that ball. That ball broke the fourth wall. And here we are at the top of the fourth inning, and once again always joined with my partner Steven Franklin, and what the Cubs are really at the bottom this year. But what do you think that's gonna be something that's
gonna help them turn it around? Steve? Well, I think the one thing that would if I was going to be out on the field and I was playing baseball, I try to make sure that every time a ball came at me, I knocked at the hill out of the park. Good strategy, Steve. Steve's always that's that's what I do when I play baseball, or when I did when I was a professional baseball player. But you know, yeah,
our careers don't last that long. Excuse to me. And I'm sir Ian McKellen and was asked to provide play by play, if you will, a commentary on today's game. Sure there's the mic right there, going pick that up and put on the home Great. Great, I don't need to be amplified, sir, as I project from my dietphram. Alright, great, Surrey, and it's a pleasured to have you. Ley, gentlemen, were joined by Surrey and come into us a live from here in studio. And why don't you take this next
pitch coming up? Big black Bucks, bleed blue blood. That fastball shut up pass because he hit it. He hit it, it didn't pass. It didn't pass him. Oh, the Cubs are really starting to turn around, sir. And it was absolutely correct. And uh, well, the home runs going on where I want to say that we're brought to you by Subway. Subway Eating Fresh is new and we have no more sponsors. So welcome back Subway Eat Fresh coach, coach. Should we do an encore? They're they're cheering for us,
not the game's over. We won. You don't do an encore. You can go out and bow to the crowd. I guess we'll do. We'll do certainly, also do a cool down, right, because we don't want any kind of fatigued lyre on. We want to cool it down, face right, whatever you need for somehow it worked today. Okay, guys, coach, do we have a u A Wednesday matinee? I mean a double header tomorrow. Don't call the matinees? All right, Yes, we do have a doubleheader, so gets so get some rest, guys,
and protect your your throat with some some tea and honey. Okay, because vocal fatigue is a real thing. And I don't even know why I'm saying this. I'm both sucked into this theater thing, coach, Coach, would would you agree? Oh? Please? Uh, you're the bigger lead. You go first. I was just gonna say, would you agree that the scene? The scene's almost over because everyone's leaving the stands and stuff. What do you mean? Seen? This is my life up here
and see what does that? What does that mean? Okay, let us go on to our second scene. He comes to us from listener Anny Tanner. No, yeah, he has every time. Oh my god, it's a good name. Danny Tanner says, hello, alchemist. The scene suggestion is for everyone's favorite baby boy, Chris. Yeah. The suggestion is surfs up dude from Danny in Saskatchewan. Oh man, those waves are crushed, Chan, I'm gonna get out there. I can't wait, all right, just gonna be be by myself all up. Oh hey
you you you're going out to the waves over there? Yeah? Man, uh, you know what, there's nobody's super today, right, I'm sorry, what did you say? I said, you notice there's nobody's surfing out there today, right, No, it's just gonna be me in the ocean. There's a shark out there. There's just shark out There was a lot of rain, and the rain brought a lot of debris, and the sharks are eating up the debris like they're hungry, hungry hippos. You gotta be careful. I go up north if I
were you. I'm sorry you said that the rain brought in a lot of debris, and the debris brought in a lot of sharks. I don't know if you know how this works, but a lot of the like debris on the streets came out into the water, and of course it's like hamburger bones and stuff like that out in the ocean. Sharks come in gobble it up, and when they're done, if they eat at all, they're gonna get surfers. So what I'd say is go up north,
and there's no no sharks up there. No debris up there, don't don't They're all the sharks are coming right down here. I'm trying trying and tell you look around, you see any of the surfers, Hey, Steph, I wouldn't go out there if I were you. It looks pretty sharky today. Yeah, but I'm totally one with the sharks. Not I know, I know, And I think that's the conversation we need
to have. Hey, Sky, come in here. When I went into that sound bath, I became one with the sharks, and they guaranteed me that within that uh, within that, don't Sky? Hey, what's going on? Guys? I'm talking to her about the shark situation and then maybe she shouldn't go on today because of the sharks. Yeah, a lot of sharks. But but what are you doing? Sky? But you know, I gotta say, like if you can you know, catch a sweet wave, you know, uh like narrowly avoiding
uh shark, then I mean then you're the ultimate. Then you're the ultimate, you know, So I gotta put that out there. You know, sharks aren't here to eat me. Sharks, you know, yes, like the way that they figured things out is with their mouth. But then once they're gonna taste like unless they've gone rogue and their rogue sharks who've gotten like, you know, a bit of like a
flavor for the humans. Like they're not going to you know what I mean, Like they're not They're gonna take an exploratory bite, an exploratory by, and it kind of depends on where the explorat ray bite comes from. It's like whether you're but Steff, remember the last time we were out there and you've got that huge barrel, you got so painted, right, and you were like that right, absolutely right. Well, I'm gonna be honest, I got scared.
I thought maybe I wasn't gonna see my little gram anymore. Greg, are you trying to tell me something? Because if it's about the sharks, it's about the sharks. But if it's about you wanting to get with this, then that's a whole another conversation that we need to have. Bow maybe at eight o'clock Saturday night. I am free. I love their garlic, not I would go fucking eight for that, oh man, garlic not to look at Look out the window. Look there's one surfer out there. I don't recognize hithing.
He's not local. A nube. What are you trying to distract me from? Like me and you're getting together? I don't know you just I just tossed that like, yeah, remind me of that one time I got that a footer. Remind me bro the second guys, the nube is surrounded by finn and what it? All right? We got him surrounded. That's uh, who's gonna take the first bite? I want to exploratory bite on him. Well, you're a newbie. You should wait till talk him. Grandpa should go first. Grandpa's
the oldest. To your grandpa, what do you what is? Grandpa? Well, uh, I don't think these old teeth can handle anything other than stale hamburger. But no, no, Grandpa, you still got You saw your doctor this year. You're in great shape. All right? What if? What if I chewing up in baby bird? It to your grandpa? Alright, grows gross gross. It's at least do me the honor of letting me have an exploratory bite. Yeah, that makes sense. Grandpa goes first. Alright,
Grandpa goes. If he surfed back around, Grandpa goes first. We all agree. Hey, dude, dude, put your feet up on your board. Don't let him dangle down there. My feet are dangling, dude, you don't do that. Put your feet on the board. I already warned him not to go out there. I don't know what the hell he's doing out there. Who's up, Lifeguard, Luke? You three know I'm about to go out there, right, You're not gonna go out there and join them. I'm only gonna go
I'm not going out there. But as Steph goes out there, you know I got to go out there. She's got my heart on my leash, my leash with its barring my leash. What and if they both go out there, then it's probably covered and Sky doesn't have to Sky won't. Sky won't, Skuy won't. But but right now it looks like all those all those sharks are circling that guy out there. Well, I've warned New Bruni, I'm not going
out there, and I'm not gonna help him. He should have known, he should have gone north, but he didn't. Isn't it your job? Isn't your job to help serve and protect? Look at all those fins. You think I want to go out there and get bit bro bro, get one with the shark, Get off your board, circle it yourself takes to the left, fence to the right. Wow, yeah, all right, I'm gonna get off my board alright, shark, So it's uh, we're gonna let grandpa go first. What
the hell he's just he's getting in here. Wait? Wait, are we sure this guy, this thing is not half shark? Oh he's swimming with us. Now, maybe he's half shart. Grandpa. Do you recognize him? Yeah, he looks familiar. Alright, so maybe he's shark. Maybe he's look but don't don't ask me. When's the last It's more about smell and taste anyway with shark. That's right, that's right, we know that. Well. I lost my sense of smell and taste a couple of days ago. I don't know if I'll be able
to do it. You lost your smell and taste? Uh? Yeah, well you're sick, dude. You got comment covid shark, stay at home covid sharks. But I wanted to go to school, Steff, stuff, where are you going? I have to get in there. He's flailing, he's absolutely flailing. I don't want to I don't want to keep you from doing what your heart is telling you you need to do well. I'm not coming out there to we know, we know, Luke, we don't made it very clear. I don't want you to
come made it very clear. I really don't want that. Greg. I'm going out there and I'm making you a solid promise. I am coming back and we're gonna go to Buccanepo and fill our taste buttons.

But I just want to nail down this date first and like make sure we have that in the books for me to look forward to, because you know how they say like like surgery patients need to have hope exactly.

You're supposed to stay home. He's got COVID. It's just garbage. It's just garbage. And my gills, Steph, you came back. Was that guy dead or what? He's super dead? Turns out he's very very dead. But his his corpse have a smile on its face, and I think he went to a better place, you know. Yeah,
So I let him out. I left him out there because yeah, you know, what goes around goes around to the ground, and he composition. I gotta get back to sure. Yeah, let's just um, let's just nail down a PM. Guys, guys, you gotta help me with this chicken parm because the portions are ridiculous and I definitely want to go there and try things for sure.

I was hoping to get transferred away from Paints if I could do maybe stock room something, not with them, direct with customer. You you don't want to be direct to customers. People.
People are dying to work with customers. Yeah, you know it's not. Yeah, so then maybe those people should work with them. I'm feeling like it's maybe not a great fit for me. So um, but I would do really well in the stock room. Throw on some you know, earphones, listen to some podcasts, and and just get on with my day, you know, like that. I would like know what happens in the stock room, stock things, and you do inventory, and it's a lot of listening that. I'm
actually very strong. That's exactly what happens there. My arms don't look strong, but the thing is you have to lift with your legs, and my legs are very strong. I'm not supposed to look at him, So no, I'm not asking you to look at This is why I can't. I shouldn't be with people, you know what I mean, Like, I shouldn't do the whole customer thing.

Of he's this is a problem, Bob. No, No, he's he's actually Gary's last name is Low, So I can't you understand being at a Low's. Gary gets to do whatever job he wants to do. But he's not a danger, there's no. No, I just need to be aware that
he'll be like a little upty and annoying. No, like, so you don't get caught off guard when you walk back there and Gary's there, be aware, like be watch out, watch out, So there is some kind of danger. No, just if you're going around the corner, I'm gonna say, watch out. There's If there's danger, then maybe I should stay out on the floor because at least it's a public place and I have eyes on me, and there's like people to back me up and corroborate any story. Robert. No,
there's no murders. Listen. I don't know. I don't You're really you're really confusing me, Bob, and you're really kind of freaking me out. No, I'm not trying. I can't leave you on the floor. Now, now that you said you're awkward with customers, putting you in the stock room, send Gary to the front. I did not say that I'm awkward with customers. I said that maybe it's not my strong suit. Um, that I would feel more comfortable doing a loner job. Do you want my job? Is
that what you want? I'll just give it to you here. We'll switch. You wear this name tag, I'll wear yours. Do I get full benefits? Yeah, it's full switcher. Okay, okay, okay, thanks Bob. We know.

from now. We're just I know, we're just wrapping up, but let's just quickly explain to people who don't know what self tape what that means. Well, it used to be that all auditions you'd go to a casting office somewhere in the Greater Los Angeles area. You drive all around town, so you do have the convenience of everything can be done from home. But it really is just you're you're reading with your significant other or a friend. Uh, You're you're taping it. You're sending it off into the ether,
never to be heard from again. Well break a leg with that, and uh you know. But also you know, Craig, you book baby, and if you go in there with that booking mentality, you're gonna book. I usually slate by saying I booked Craig Ktkowski five for eleven Los Angeles. I booked baby. That would be good like a tool saying thank you so much and what are you up to? Uh? Not much.
