In this immortal alchemist extravaganza, Lindsay and Nick drink Sleepy Hollow cocktails and talk about the quest for immortality, Uncle Fed Messer (the man who lived over three centuries), retro theme park commercials, the search for the philosopher’s stone, the life and death of Nicholas Flamel, the Count of St. Germain, the ascended master A-list, and more! Then, in keeping with tradition, they close out the show with a truly unsettling round of Draw This Thing (including a live Mandela effect “on the air”) before disappearing into an existential abyss.
A huge thanks to Simon Webb for graciously permitting us to read an excerpt from his fantastic book, The Life and Legend of Nicholas Flamel: Discoverer of the Philosopher’s Stone?, which we highly recommend. Check out the link to Simon Webb’s website below!
