    Stoned Alchemy - Episode 31 - The Three Amigos

    Join Mike & Russ on a very sophomoric and somewhat interesting chat with our dear longtime friend and professional make-up artist, Craig.

    Craig has been a professional make-up artist for decades, worked with hundreds of celebrities on thousands of film shoots, including TV shows such as Saturday Night Live and Walking Dead.

    Craig is a true artistic master, although you wouldn't know that from this rapidly degrading, digressing, and deranged conversation.

    But please partake with Mike, Russ, and Craig - The Three Amigos, on a journey through film history, camping, alcohol, cigars, drugs, and the African prison system. All from the delightful confines of Mike's rooftop in NYC.

    Please note: This discussion is purely for adults; you crazy kids go back to bed!

    Oh, and due to the fine and gentle graces of NYC, the audio is fairly poor in spots, so good luck with that!

    Stoned Alchemy - Episode 30 - "Beached" and ChatGPT Part 2

    Join Mike and his AI on a deserted tropical island somewhere in the Pacific for the tale "Beached", then listen in on Part 2 of a very stimulating conversation about Artificial Intelligence and Chat GPT.

    Mike and Russ attempt to push ChatGPT to the brink by asking what may arguably be the most intellectually defunct line of queries ever devised by humanity. 

    Then we teach ChatGPT how to lie, tell Dad jokes (not that it needs any help), and generally harass the artificial intelligent giant until it smokes.

    Please email us your fan mail and money to stonedalchemy@yahoo.com or we'll send ChatGPT after you.

    Stoned Alchemy - Episode 29 - "Julie" and ChatGPT Part 1

    Please Join Mike and Russ for a stimulating conversation on Artificial Intelligence  and ChatGPT.

    This episode begins with Russ' tale "Julie" -  If you think Alexa or Siri is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet...

    We then continue with an in depth discussion on AI and the new kid on the block, ChatGPT.

    What will the future hold? How much control will these super brains have over our lives? And what will become of society? Will we be able to tune out, turn off, and drop out? Science Fiction or humanity's future reality? 

    We don't know, and we have no answers you - but only offer food for thought - for human brains only, please.

    First, Russ' tale "Minetta" - a fact based encounter on the set of "Serpico" with Al Pacino in 1973 Greenwich Village.

    Followed by Mike's introspective journey into the mind of an actor based on actual events reminds us that there are "No Small Parts" but there are bad toupees.

    Note: This episode contains a rainbow of city noises such as helicopters, trucks, Imperial Star Destroyers, sirens, and whatever they got. This is not sound effects wizardry, this is real life. Enjoy.

    Stoned Alchemy - Episode 23 - The Intruder

    Stoned Alchemy - Episode 23 - The Intruder

    Join Mike & Russ on a balmy December day for a rooftop discussion loosely centered around the independent film "Intruder" - a film that no one has seen, not even the filmmakers!

    This fun and lighthearted chat opens with Mike's enigmatic tale "Boris Spiderman", featuring Boris the spider and his grand Hollywood adventures.

    About halfway through the chat is Russ' endearing tale "Frankie Paulie" about two tough guys doing bad deeds - or are they?

    Please note that wind conditions and the aural soundscape of NYC occasionally dominate the audio - in other words,  things get a little frickin' noisy but the conversation is quite lively with tons of laughs. Enjoy!
