GMMore 1758: Is This A Musician or a Mortician? (Stock Photo Game)

(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) (drum hits) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, boy, that was fun. And this is gonna be fun, musician versus mortician. – But first, what’s the word? We have to give a definition to this word. – Okay, what’s the word? – Cabotage. – So it’s sabotage but with a C? – So this is clearly just when you sabotage like a cabbage crop. Oh, another season of cabotage, we’re gonna have to grow soybeans now. No, it’s navigation or trade along the coast. Well, that’s no fun. – Cabotage. – What are you doing today? Just a little cabotage. I’m not going out to sea, I’m staying along the coast. – I’m just trading along the coast. – I’m navigating and trading. – Okay, so Stevie, are you gonna, you gonna present this, how does this work? – [Stevie] Sure, I’m gonna show you a cropped in, Zach is really gonna show you a cropped in, a stock photo. – It really matches. – [Stevie] And you’re going to have to guess if the person or people are musicians or morticians. – Twinkle fingies got in on this? – Yeah, he did. Listen, morticians, in my life, have been some of my favorite people. I mean, it doesn’t get any better than the peoples. – Oh yeah, like our first girlfriend’s family is just a lot, come from a long line of morticians. – Because a lot of people think that morticians are just you know, pale weirdos. – Macabre. – Not the case, in my experience. – They’re fun-loving people that have perspective. I think it really gives you perspective. But I don’t know how visually I can confuse them with musicians. So let’s see the first one. Oh, it’s just by looking at a dude’s face? – This guy is clearly a jazz musician. You cannot have a goatee and be a mortician. I think it’s actually part of the code. – I’m just trying to figure out, why would a mortician be in a photo on like a white background ever? Is that, is this like an angelic shot for his website? – Well, when you go to the mortician website, yeah, you gotta know who you’re dealing with. Who’s gonna see me naked? is the question that I ask. Who’s gonna see my dead body naked? – Alright, I’ll go with that, then. – I do think about that quite a bit. – There’s maybe some pearly gates like flanking him, in this shot. – You think about getting seen naked when you’re dead? – That’s kind of the least of my worries, at that point. – [Stevie] Are you locked in? – Yeah. – [Stevie] Let’s see it. – [Rhett] Yeah, look at that, we got us a teeny little guitar. – I thought a teeny little woman beside him. – That’s a singing, is that a giant man or a small instrument? – Well that’s a mandolin. – It’s a mandolin, yeah. – It’s an electrified mandolin. – Cause we got eight strings on that thing, it looks like. – Is this a stock image though? Or is this a real? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Okay, yeah, this is, see, this is a stock image. It’s a guy pretending to be a musician. – Yeah, that changes the game. – [Stevie] I love that you ask that every time we play a game like this. And every time, it’s the stock. – Because we have to use stock images. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Yeah yeah, you know what, keep asking the question, I like it. – [Stevie] Alright, let’s see the next one. – See, this doesn’t look like a stock image. – Okay, well she’s trying to do the mortician thing, but the question is, does she have, like the hand of a cadaver, or the neck of a guitar in her hand? That’s really the question that we’re going for here. – I think this is de-this has gotta be a musician. – You can see the studio lighting which is, that’s bad stock photo. That’s like, we didn’t even try. I mean, you could Photoshop that crap out. I think that this is a mortician. – Okay. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – [Rhett] Yeah, see. – [Link] I don’t understand this game, guys. – [Stevie] I guess we’re using the definition loosely. – This is an actress; this is an out-of-work actress. – [Stevie] There could be a guitar inside of the coffin. – I think, okay, I think I could. – Can you reframe this game for me? – I can explain the game, yeah, yeah. So none of them are musicians or morticians, in reality. – Good start. – But they’re pretending to either be someone who is in close proximity to death and or dobermans, or posing as a musician in the moment. So you have to really think about the face and the garb and where was this director of stock imagery pushing the concept? – Okay, I can play that game, can we start over? No, one more thing about this doberman, like that is a majestic, I would love to be flanked by two of those when I sit on my throne. And I am talking about the toilet. Whenever I take a dump, I want to be flanked by two dobermans. – Wow, I could get into that. – I mean, I never thought I would want a big dog, because it’s a lot of responsibility. – The poops are way too big and the food amount is just amazing. – Name anything and the bigger the dog, the bigger the responsibility. Name something that gets easier as the dog gets bigger. Anyone? I’m open. Protection gets- – It protects you and also they’re less annoying than small dogs in terms of like their bark and stuff like that. – Just in ge-okay, let’s see the next one. Ooh, okay, this guy, so he, we’re going full goth here. – This would, I just think this would be taking it too far for a mortician, a little too on the nose. We are talking stock imagery. – That’s what stock photos are, man, on the nose, mortician. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – Yeah, yeah, too on the nose. Link, you’re uh, it’s just not your day today. You know, you might go for the queen negative suite. – I really did have fun with Mr. Cornell though. – I just love that, I love the fact that he can find, he finds the music in the moment. – And then it’s the timing. Like the, I mean, if you look at like the Kenneth Copland one. Even if you look at what he did without, there’s a lot of times where he’s just like, he’s waiting and watching and then he’s, he’s like nailing the timing, he’s musicizing it in his own brain. – Musicizing it. – Next one? Now look at, now, okay. – [Rhett] Now this doesn’t look stock. This looks like, this looks for real. – It looks like an older photo. – It looks like an obituary, like, you found out, no? – Well you know, morticians die too. – [Stevie] That sounds like a T-shirt for morticians only. – Morticians die too. – Ha, don’t be so hard on us. – Man, this one’s tough. I feel like I gotta look into this guy’s eyes. – He’s very, he’s got very kind eyes. – He’s telling me something. – He knows, he knows a lot. – I’ve seen a lot of people, dead people, naked. – Yeah, mortician. – Or I’ve seen a lot of groupies naked. (Link scoffs) Which group of people has he seen naked. – He’s definitely seen a bunch of people naked. – (laughs) Either way. Oh, I just saw it, I got it, I got it. Saw it in his eyes. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – [Rhett] Aw! – [Link] Musician! – [Rhett] Should have got, I should have got it. – Now this isn’t, is this a stock, this is on the stock photos site? – [Stevie] Yes, it’s a stock photo! – So this guy, like his manager just said, you know, I got another way for you to get discovered, get your music out there. – This guy’s a real musician, he’s real. – Imma put you on stock image websites. And people are (chuckles) That’s odd. – It’s also his album cover. You know, he was like, can I take, can I just use this as my CD cover? – How do I defray the cost of my self-funded album cover? By selling it as a stock image. Okay, I can’t win for losing. – Oh, come on, if this guy’s not a mortician, then this is just, is this reverse reverse psychology? – I will say, if this is not a fake mortician on a stock photo image, then I don’t know stock photos. – I think that you guys thought that we would take the bait on this one. I’m saying musician. – I’m gonna take the bait. – [Stevie] Okay. – [Rhett] Oh, okay, alright, I’m disappointed in you. – So you got the dead guy, the dead guy’s face down. What does that mean exactly? – That’s when you were caught doing something wrong at the moment of death. – Here’s the thing about stock photo is that they don’t, they come up with cooky scenarios and they take photos because people will buy that and then they apply meaning to it. But they don’t really have, they don’t know what that means. It’s open to interpretation. – Art, exactly. – Well, I wouldn’t call stock photos art. – Well, it’s a form of art. – It’s their, they’re imitating art. – [Stevie] Okay, this is the last one. – [Link] This is a politician. – [Rhett] It is a politician, for sure. – [Link] Mortician, musician, politician. – He could be conducting an orchestra, or as you would say, an orgestra. So that’s what I’m gonna say he’s doing. – Alright, I’m gonna try to make up some ground, mortician. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – [Rhett] Oh. – [Link] Yes! Morticians die too, see? Look at him, he’s in the coffin. – [Stevie] Look at that crotch shot. – I didn’t realize that was a coffin, I thought he was like holding someone’s gown or something. You know? – It’s like a woman in a gown and this is her legs? – Her train, is that what you call that? – Yeah, her train. – I’ll hold your train. – His eyeline’s a little off. I wouldn’t pay as much for that image. – Yeah, yeah, that’s a cheap look. – Boy. – And what do we win? – [Stevie] You win a personalized victory song from Charles Cornell. – Alright! ♪ Congratulations, Rhett ♪ ♪ I always knew that you would win ♪ ♪ You’re the king of GMM ♪ ♪ And Link you’re, you’re cool too, man! ♪ ♪ Hang in there, you’ll get ’em next time ♪ – It’s got the same gut punch the second time. – Never gets old! – [Link] Keep your friends close and your phone closer with the mythical and GMM pop sockets, available now at mythical.store.
