Welcome back to another episode of Alchemy. This as always I'm your host, Craig Kikowski. And when I say as always, I mean this is the second time I've ever done this kind I'm sucking nervous. And there's also there's also a lot of other ship to worry about that Kevin never talks about, like seen suggestions, hosting the zoom uh sending out invites the zen caster, the fucking egos of these performers. How does Kevin Pollack do it? It is
truly a thankless, thankless job. Anyway, Let's meet these people who are here to improvise today. Uh, starting with Chris Alvarado. Chris, how am I doing so far? I think you're doing great? And you know what, good for you for letting the people look behind the curtain, right. Yeah, Well, there's a vulnerability I think in you know, admitting you know how how stressed out? But all of this makes sense. Okay, here's your here's your real question. Would you rather be
a little too hot or a little too cold? Oh, that's such a hard question. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with a little, a little, a little, a little too just a little, just a little either way, a little too cold, you'd rather be a little too cold, a little too cold. I don't love my answer, I know, Craig, I don't love it. I'm done. I made my answer, final answer. I'm glad I'm here. I mean, there's ways to interpret that. I always feel like when talking about sleep,
like in your bed. You know it's a little too cold. You can always add more blankets, right, you know, but it's a little too hot, you know. I find it harder just because, like, just because, Craig, I'm thinking about this. I'm thinking I have to live in that stay eat for however long without being able to correct it meaning a little too hot. I could like to turn the a C. I'm thinking I just have to live in the state, Right, Craig, that's a better way to interpret it.
I think you can't. You can't correct there's no jacket if it's a little too cold. Yeah, I mean, I'm taking it all in. This is maybe the deepest question so far. Okay, uh, well, let's let's see if if I have an equally deep question for Jackie Gonzalez to Ruthie, Jackie, for the rest of your life, you can only taste salt, sweet, bitter or so. I I know where you're going with this bitter or so? Are you can't choose you, mommy, because that would be cheating what what what tastes? But
are you gonna focus on? I'm gonna focus on the tooth, and that's my sweet tooth, my friend. Uh, it's strong in my body and my um my blood jugger is always like at a very healthy level, so I've feel like my my body also does well. I'm made for sugar. I love sugar. Um, yeah, I do love. I love sweet. I love sweet, and you can obviously eat. You can have a salad. You just won't taste anything. You won't
taste them. You won't taste the bitter anymore. They the only the only taste that will pop are the sweet ones that would be wonderful for me. I'm wondering who like for me? It's it's salt. If I had to go with one, some people would love I'm going with I'm going with salty food. I love pizza, popcorn, potato chips like all that ship. But who's going with bitter or sour? Thing with bitter? Very fine palette? Yeah, I think they have an issue issue I thought of them
as same taste, bitter and make the same face. Who is the strange person who just talked, Well, it's it's a tool, sig oh, a tool. I imagine at some point in your life you've purchased a motor vehicle. Mm hmm. What is your what is your approach for dealing with car salespeople? Uh, you just have to realize that it's gonna take a lot of time, and there's no concept
of like walk in, walk out. Well, I'm not there financially yet I've heard from people who are there financially that sometimes they will just you can work it out on the phone and they just drop it off at your house and leave. The people do that. People do that, they by car, the guy comes to their house, they sign, and then that guy leaves somehow without a car. And uh,
that's exciting. I look forward to that one day. But right now, Uh, you know, you just you know, you do your research, you do your Edmonds Go Blue book, and you you just come in well prepared. You know as much as they do, which I like, sorry too, I like everybody to know and I think the what you do, but just in case they don't, you are
the most grown up person. I know you also have a very fun, playful side, but like you're the type of guy that when my dad met him, was like, I want to I wouldn't mind having some qualities that a tool has. Its like my own father, you know what I mean, he grows up when he grows up. I can just imagine you walking into the dealership pretty as far as you, as far as one can be, very well prepared. You got a price, you you know what you're looking for. I imagine that you're just very
like prepared is the word. We're not walking and I'm scared. I'm like, can I please maybe have a car? I hope so, I don't know. I'm sure they're taking me for a ride still, but we do. I think you have to allow that, just like let him take you for a ride for a little bit. It's terrifying. Thank you a tool for for making it easier. Uh, last, but not least, Mark Gagliardi, Hello Mark, it is never too early to start planning your funeral. Uh what what
show too? Does that weone gonna sing along too? I think I mean, obviously there's gonna be a whole section. It might be a medley. There will be playing medley of chorus based song, so it'll be you know, you'll have your seasons of Love there you go. Yeah, Seasons of Love is going to be on there. Um that. Yeah, I don't like. I don't know. I want my funeral to be a a triumphant affair, so I've probably throw some Do you hear the people sing in there? I
love it? Do you hear the people sing? Yeah? There more people who can participate, I think, oh yeah, yeah, I want a big rousing or maybe even um, consider yourself from Oliver, that's a big rousing yourself. Yeah, family, anything that would be lots of people marching through a European city. This is great. I can't wait. I can't wait. Well, I mean I can. Let's wait a while. It's gonna be great. Uh Okay.

we are no longer running out of scenes. We have, uh, we have a plethora that we will never I can tell you right now we will never ever ever get to some of these seats set. So we're good for right now. But at the time we we made a flea and and you guys answered the call and so, uh so we've got a lot of great ones. So Lucas says, why didn't you tell me you're running out of scenes? I've been rationing them. Uh, here's one. Never late for school. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go go. Get your stuff, get your stuff. Trevor Trevor, Trevor Frederick Johnson, Trevor Frederick Johnson. But Dr Johnson, can I call you Dad yet? When you when you've earned and you hit all your marks on our on our checklist. Yeah, maybe then we'll have a proper relationship. Right now, you are about to be late for school again. I can't have that up. You go all right, I'm up. I'm up, Julie. Yes, I don't know if you noticed,
but I actually tied my own bow tie today. I thought that it would be a great little accent to my already superb uniform. Julie, you are the poster child. You heard me. I think you heard me. I don't know. I may have mumbled it under my breath, but if you want it louder, it was. I think Dad would love to hear what you just said. I'm up, I'm up, I'm going to school. He used an expelutive. He used
an expelutive. Thank you, Julie. I'll handle it from here. Um, Julie, you can drive today, Oh my god, saying she's eleven. When you match your responsibilities with your intellect, you get perks. Ah. Fine, remember that's my only thing. When you match say it your responsibility. When your responsibilities with your intellects, you get parks Principal Dugger. As you know, today is awards day. I know that Bosworth and the principal of this school.
I'm the vice principle and if something were to happen to you, I would step into your place. I know the chain of command here in the line of succession. All right, Mr Doug, I just wanted to go through a couple of things now. For most of the awards, the students voted. As you know, I know how the voting system where I'm not at dating yet Bosworth. No, no, no, no, I'm just saying, if something were to happen to you, I would take your position, and I want to let
you know I'm ready to do so. I know how it works. And Buzzworth, are you playing on doing me in? No? No, no, no, no, that's not it at all. Okay, all right, um, okay, So students have voted. Students have voted. We have funniest student, we have smartest student, we have best looking students. We have the standards second. Say all right, um, we have worst looking students this year? We have second, we have
best looking and second best looking. All right, if you wanted to throw that in, we could, We could make you and I could judge that right now, Well, I think we know who it is. Well, we know who it is. We don't we don't, Well what keep that between ourselves? A second best looking is almost like, you know, losing the Super Bowl? Right? Yeah, that's right, that's right. That's the worst team a football is the team that loses the Super Bowl. Oh oh I huh. I didn't
consider it that way. Okay, moving on to some of the more boring awards. This is where you and I jump in. Okay, so, um, we have um smartest person, but that's that's just a number seve person. Yes, that goes to me. Yeah, because we don't specify students a second smartest person. I was helping. Maybe I could get your your vote, okay, okay, And then we're moving on to attendance. Attendance, I know, I know, but so here's the thing this year is we have two students that
have never missed the day. And now added those two students, one of them has been on time every day and one of them was late once. Now, attendance doesn't specify tardiness, so I didn't know you're you're going to a tiebreaker. I'm saying it's typebreaker day. And as you know, that's going to be done publicly. I mean it's in the rule books. The students must compete in front of all the other students to see who who is the best. Buzzworth is one of these students, Trevor Johnson, Yes, sir, okay.
And who's the other one? His sister Julie Johnson. Julie Johnson, Trevor Johnson and Julie Johnson. Now we could just choose right now. You can just do it right here. Now, who's the one that's that's with slightly late once? Trevor was slightly late once? Right now, I have it on good authority that they come in the same car, so they were probably on campus at the same time. Interesting, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well if if if something ever happened to you, I
got these trophies. Here, Where do I put them? Oh, you're you're gonna want to put those in the auditorium in the backstage. You have to sign off. We got a loading doc. You know, we actually got this auditorium was redone last year because our musical was such a smash hit. We gotta bump up in the booster. So you know, we got a lot of good money coming in. Now, what did you what did you put on last year? We put on it was a mashup. It was a mashup of Oliver, le viz Lems and Oliver. Yeah, it
was called Mr Oliver, That's what it was called. Every song was a mashup. Yeah, every saw was a bash shop everyone. Sure, I would love to hear one of those numbers to bottom. Yeah, you should have been there. It was incredible, kids, it's such a beautiful job. Well, I just want to make sure where do you want me to put these? Uh where you want to put these swords for the tiebreaker? Oh? Yeah, you could actually put that into us. We actually have a new dressing
room now. We got the whole auditorium revamped. Yeah, we got a new bigger backstage situation, loading doc a no uh an actual makeup room. Sure, Oliver, that show was fantastical. You got to oh well you left. Uh Hey we make swords, uh, Trevor. Yeah, what's your sister's name? What's your sister's name again? Julie? Julie. Yeah, look, Trevor, I see a lot of myself in you. Does that mean anything? Tokay? I mean it's it's unfortunate for me. No, No, you're
kidding me. I love a good luck. You see that suber U out back out there, of course, yeah, the one that yeah, the one that somebody wrote wash me on the back and then drew a finger penis on. That's me. That's my car. That's it's a. It's a it's a good car. Can I lift this helmet up so I can see you a little better. You gotta leave the helmet on for a sect there, Trevor. Listen, you're gonna fight this is this armor is heavy, and that's good. I don't want to do this this she's
my sister. Is this a pep talk? I don't know what's happening. This is a pep talk. Look at me, Look at me trying one person in my way, Trevor. What Principal Dugger is in my way at becoming allowing me to be all I can be? Does that make sense to you? I mean, of course he's he's he's Principal Dugger. I mean he's he's untouchable. Okay, okay, he's there. I mean he's the smartest person in the school, Mrs Prescott, could could you come into my office for a second? Yeah? Um? Did?
Did Vice Principal Bozzworth bring this chai latte onto my desk? Um, I'm not listen. I've been dealing with loading in and loading out the need. I need you to taste the latte for me? What am I? Okay? I mean I can certainly taste it? Sure, okay, okay, an excited poison. An excited poison to taste it normal to me? I feel okay? What kind of what kind of traps did you to set me in? Look? Bosworth is trying to kill me? Okay? Oh, I wish you would talk me that.
I thought I was tasting it to see if it was full fat or non fat so I or cow? What the hell? Wait? What is the fat content? To them? Though? It seems like it's actually an oat milk, which you would think has a lower fat content. But nowadays they're adding more to make it a frothier deal so that the baristas can actually quip it into a phone on top. Okay,
thank you, Miss Prescott, give it, give it another taste? Okay? Alright, students, everybody settled down this time, As you know, this is our favorite day of the year here at the school. We're going to hand out the awards. You will vote it on, Yeah, you will vote it on. Um. Now, as you know, I can't be the one to announce the winners. That has to be done my principal girl. Everybody dog, they love they love you. UM. I just want to say thank you to everybody. And if you

Looks like it was just a bad case of frothy oat milk. They really shouldn't froth it. But she's going to be She's gonna be all right. Doctor. So just to clarify, I'm sorry you the vice man, because I can only

It's just like I'm just making observations, Terry, That's all I'm doing. It just feels like maybe you're looking into

All right, Okay, I don't ask you this question one more time. You said you were communicating with the gorilla. I was. We were eating and you say wanted me to give him a rope. I thought it was to escape. I didn't know he was gonna kill himself. Okay, little girl, right now, my partners in the other room talking to your brother.

my stomach? Okay? You wanna you wanta tu? Oh yeah? Detectives in my office? What the hell's going? I just got off with the zoo mayor, who just got off the phone with the zoo governor, and they're chewing down my throat. Figure out what the fuss happened? What's what's up? Zu lieutenant? Yeah, what's up? Zutenant? It is better now that Zoe Tenant Zoo Tenant is way better. I don't know why we were calling your zul lieutenant all these years. You guys having a laugh right now?

This is not my jurisdiction, I know, but Seu Tenant, it's so good, it flows, it flows. Can we get someone to cut that gorilla down because leaving it there seems strange. No, no, we'll do that. I don't I wasn't aware. And the other gorillas are
kind of tapping at it and it swaying. Yeah, and it's got a lot of a lot of the lot of the people are watching to take care of it. Right now. It's just like it looks like it looks he's huge, she's huge. You know what I mean. We should have closed the zoo too. Who This is what happens when you don't spend enough time with your introspections. Perhaps maybe we don't live a life so on the surface that makes sense. Gorillas stop stop touching it. Stop
touching him. Stop touching look moves. Yeah, you're playing. It's not tether ball. It's not tether ball. Is your tenant? Uh? Yeah again? I love it, but I'm sorry doing for you that one of one of the Flamingos has hung themselves, one of the Flamigos is hugging themselves. Please tell me it wasn't grazy. Please tell me it wasn't crazy. That that's the really sexy one. Right. Hey, hey, look, I you're a detective. I can appreciate beauty. What I see it?

You know what I'm done talking with all of you? If can I fly? Can we fly? Okay, guys, I'm trying to be lookout, but all I'm seeing is Denny's feet
dangling in front of my eyes. What is happening in this right now? I don't know. She talks her so much simpler when we were just watching people ship their pants. Now there's at least one animal in every enclosure. It seems. I hate to do this, but we found your daughter in the bathroom and she's just fine. She's we got she did. She pooped everywhere. She pooped everywhere, and that someone's okay, good, oh good, that's great. She got to clean it up herself. We're gonna give her this rope
to clean the poop up with. That's not going to clean up pop. No, James, We're not going to give her a rope. Party of hers on the end of the stick. That's that's scene number two.

Are we has the board been testing testing the actual contestants? The monkey policy seem to have some unusual physical advantage that some of us don't have. We can't test unless we get a complaint. Are you following an official complaint? Yeah? You're Weren't you ripped? For you?
