GMMore 2164: Crazy Off-Broadway Musicals (Game)

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re still hanging out with Brittany Broski Oo, oo, oo. and we’re talking about, some Broadway. Some Broadway musicals- Off-Broadway. Off-Broadway. Oh, that’s Off-Broadway. That’s where things get super weird off-Broadway, you know? Oh. So, it might be- We’ll decide if it’s Broadway or broad-nay. But first, we’re going to donate $1,000 to The Jed Foundation to aid in their mission to protect emotional health, to prevent suicide for teens and young adults. Please join us in giving and the good work that The Jed Foundation is doing @jedfoundation.org. Let’s go Jed. Yes. Thank you for being your Mythical Best. All right. How well do you know Off-Broadway shows? Not well at all? Well, I mean, you so naturally went into that Broadway-esque performance- Hey. That was like, you’re gotta be a theater, you’re a student of this. I was a theater kid. Okay. You were? I was, I was in a few music. You know, Spam-a-lot, the Monte Python musical? Oh, yeah. I was in that. Yeah? Of course. If I had to go back to high school, I would like to think that we would’ve been willing to go more in that direction. Yeah, there was always hard line between, people who I just didn’t feel like we fit in. played sports and people who did theater. It’s a lot more mixed now. And we just didn’t know you could cross that. And people who kept score for sports. Yeah, the scores, the scores kind of hung out with the Vermont DJs. It was a similar. Right, we should have the Vermont DJs on. Well, I mean, it’s a great, you know how much I respect Vermont DJs? So this is a compliment. Don’t look at me like that. You, know what I was actually doing? Like my brain, I worked so hard with that game. Yeah, you’re empty. It would, it’s just empty. It’s well- I wasn’t even listening to you. Not a thought behind them eyes. Right. It, yeah, it was. I just went editing something. You know something? What is that thing where you press a certain button, when you shut down your computer and it’s doing something to the drive, it’s like rebuilding. Control, alt, delete. No, but it’s like the thing, what is it? The term for like, is Tim still in here? No, there’s a lot of blank stares going on, on back here. What? Yeah, but there’s a word where like parking lot? Like defragment? Yeah. Defragging! Yeah, I’m defragging my hard drive. Yeah, you had the defrag look. Bleep, bleep that. Trying to piece it all back together. I know what defragging is. But when was the last time you defragged your computer? It’s when you like group all the stuff on your hard drive together to create a lot of space in one physical, part of the hard drive. So, it’s not so it fragmented. So, it’s like all these spot files are together. Yeah, Brittany? Isn’t that call? Just creating a folder? I don’t know- It’s all behind the scenes. The computer goys do. Sure. Yeah, right. I’m back. I’m back. I will participate. Good. You’re fully defragged. Let’s hear the first one. So these can be made up. Okay. Yeah, so, I’m gonna give you a title and a description of an Off-Broadway show. And you’re gonna tell me if it was made up or if it actually is real starting with Zombie Prom. When high school sweethearts Toffee and Johnny are forbidden from seeing each other, Johnny drowns himself in a vat of nu-nuclear waste. Nuclear waste. While grieving his death Toffee and the other seniors rebel against their principal, Miss Strict, and almost get prom canceled. But since true love always prevails, Johnny comes back as a zombie to be with Toffee and saves the prom. When it’s revealed that he’s Miss Strict’s long, lost son. Her name is Toffee? That’s the only thing I’m taking issue with. Toffee. Not Miss Strict? No, I love that. I kind of took that from it too. I mean, this is so trendy, right? You get like trendy from like 12 years ago. You’re gonna hit the zombie. You’re gonna hit the prom. You put those together. That’s what I’m saying. There was a weird intersection of like Carrie and Walking Dead were both popular. It’s gotta be real. I’m saying. Yeah. I’m on. So that would be a yay. I’m on team Broadway for this. So you’re all agreeing, it was real? I’m gonna say no, because it was the Miss Strict is just a sad character name. That’s just stupid. It was real. Oh. And premiered off Br-Broadway in 1996. Oh, nice. Oh, sure. Oh, so a little ahead of the curve. Yes. Ahead of its time. Yeah. Truly. We should give it another chance. Do you need to frag more link? Yeah. So do you being a theater kid, do you… Would you be into this do you, do you- When you go to New York, do you go to shows? I saw Beetlejuice, last time I was in New York. It was good. I guess I would like Beetlejuice, It was fantastic. I cried at lion king. Yeah, you would cry at Beetlejuice. But that was like the Disneyland version. Where they come down the, the walkway, on the big credible stilts. It’s so good. I’ve actually seen both versions. I did cry a little bit at that. It’s good. I always have a good time at these things. I mean, I’ve only walked out one time for one of ’em- And what was the show? There was one that a Idina Menzel did here in LA. You walked out? And it was, The Wiz! It’s like the New York based. And they’re in apartments and they’re all kind of like. West side story. What? If When? Say it again? If When. Yeah, I think. Yes, ‘If When’. I was like- . You walked out. You were like now. No- Did you walk out? Or did you just not come back after intermission? Intermission Jessie and I were like, yeah, ‘If when’ , then we’re like, let’s just go get coffee or something. You know, we both were kind of like, I’ve had all I need of this. But that’s the only one that I was ever like, not into, but I probably only seen like five in my life. That’s interesting. ‘Cause y’all make musicals. Y’all are contributors to the art. We, I mean, we, we made music, but we we’ve never made a musical. I mean we’ve got- Middle school musical. We have middle schooler to make musicals. Yeah, those are my favorite. I’m willing to put other people in the harms way of theater, but I’m like- You know, what I do miss about the theater is the sense of comradery. That’s the one thing. I don’t really miss performing on stage, ’cause like remembering lines and all that, but whatever, and having to sing live, but also like the backstage just like dicking around. So fun. You guys are just so crazy back there. Just so goofy. Goofing off in the wings. Right. It was a lot of fun. I do miss that. How do you see or how did you see band people. Nerds! Okay, So you’re throwing band people under the bus. Wow! So, the theater kids look down on the band kids. Yes, theater’s, a little cooler than band, but band kids were always employed in the theater department because they could keep rhythm. Right. And they also employed football players to play men. Even though they couldn’t act at all. To play men. To play men, you will be man number one. We need some men in here. And to build the set. Wow. That’s child labor. Hey, any theater kids out there, we’re about to unionize. That is child exploitation. Truly. Okay. How about Manger Danger? This comedic retelling of Jesus’s birth, follows Ezekiel, a baby who was swapped with Jesus in the manger. As he grows older and realizes he doesn’t have any special powers from God. Ezekiel learns magic tricks to keep the villagers off his tail, much to the suspicion of his best friend, Judas. Special- This is just a special people. Took some Bible names. Special powers from God? And put ’em together. I would see this. This sounds like tea, bitch. His best friend is Judas This is just made up. That’s there’s a twist at the end. Yeah, but this is broad-nay. Yeah, this is definitely a broad-nay, but I would like to invest in this. All right. Well, it’s been written. I don’t have any special powers from God, Like Jesus. It’s fake, but it’s pretty good. I mean it’s pretty good. I believed it. Live Mas, the musical only running for two weeks in 2010 as a promotional endeavor for Taco Bell. Did you say Leave Moss? No, Live Mas. Taco Bell. Tells the story of Laura and Tomas, who meet and fall in love at their local Taco Bell. Only to be torn apart by their acceptance to colleges at opposite ends of the country. Though classes and potential romances distract them. The young couple stays connected over their love of crunch wrap supremes and reunite for an eventful Taco themed Thanksgiving. Everything about the two weeks of this, like this is definitely the kind of thing that Taco Bell would do, but would they run it for? It would be a one night event. It wouldn’t be a two week run. Right. Well, when you work on it, that hard though you wanna be able to give everyone the opportunity to see it. You want a matinee of it. Yeah. Yeah. So you think that Taco Bell underwrote this as a marketing ploy? If a fast food place- It has to. Think about all the weird stuff that like Taco Bell and KFC do, especially when you go to a Taco Bell slash KFC. There’s weird stuff that happens there sometimes. But like the marketing teams are willing to go so far there- But, you make a good point. A-two-week run? That’s pretty, that’s budget heavy. Yeah. It is. And like, if it doesn’t work, you can’t hide behind. Well, it was just one night. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? Y’all did this for 14 days. People stop coming. So it’s a great idea and Taco Bell, should do it, but I don’t think they did it. I’m saying broad-nay. I gotta try to tie it up with y’all. That’s fair. I thought that little detail made it seem like it was real, but it’s fake. No, but seriously picked it. Woo! Can you see like K, ’cause KFC did a whole- They did the romance. They did a romance novel. I can definitely see Taco Bell doing this. And I would go to it for one night. Okay. Taco Bell. Taco Bell, if you’re listening, please produce an entire musical and then send Rhett an invitation. He will walk out in intermission. Hey, I’ll be on the front row. But that’s kind of the same level of, if they tried to cast you in the KFC Colonel Sanders thing that- I do that too. AC Slater did, would you have taken a supporting role? Heck yes. I would be- I think I would be. In the Live Mas musical too. I would love to be in that. I sold out a long time ago. No more, sure. I think it’s gotta be on a network for me to say yes to it. You wouldn’t do lifetime? I would do lifetime, yeah. I just wouldn’t do like a theater production. Okay. Interesting. No offense. Hey, not taken. I don’t self-identify as a theater kid anymore. Oh, okay. I’ve out grown it. I don’t wanna be associated. Wow, so none of your fan base, isn’t the theater kid. You’re willing just to let them go. If they are, I shun them. Oh wow. You’re shunned. You’re banished. That’s the relationship you have. I like that you you can say whatever you want to your people. It’s nice, yeah. And they love it. I have proclaimed that I am the Dictator of Broski-nation. And my subjects do, as I say, it’s very nice. It’s very nice. We should have done that. Create a little cityscape. We’re running a democracy around here and it’s not working. I guess Katie gets great. Dames at Sea, when Ruby… Oh, sorry. When sweet Ruby arrives in the big city to make her mark on Broadway, she promptly faints into the arms of Dick. A sailor who also has ambitions as a songwriter, just as Ruby- Sailor got in the arms of Dick. lands a job- The job. It’s better than falling into a bag of them. Yeah, that’s true. Right, yeah. Just as Ruby lands a job in the chorus of a show, the theater is set to be demolished. Dick saves the day when he convinces the Captain to let Ruby’s show debut on their deck. Dick’s deck. On the deck of their battleship. Dick’s deck. I got tripped up because I was like, surely that says Dick again. But it said deck. I lost the plot, I’ll be honest, ’cause you said Dick so many times. Good old Richard. Dames at sea. Man. Who hears about this and is like, yes. Clear the schedule. I don’t know how this works. I’m saying, yeah. This seems intriguing to me. It could go both ways. I’m gonna for once say. I think this is real. I do think it’s real. Yeah. Yes, people in 1966 were interested in this. ‘Cause that’s when it debuted. Interesting. Dames at sea 19- How far Off-Broadway can you go? Where’s the legal boundary? Right before you’re back at Broadway. That looks cute. It’s like a sailor musical. Little pinup girls. Okay, from Dick to Boobs, the musical. Finally! Boobs the musical, tells the story of sexy starlet, Ruth Wallace, who gained fame in notoriety in the fifties and sixties because of her- Because of her boobs?! Naughty cabaret songs. I’ve always thought Ruth was a sexy name. Songs like, ugly man with money and pizza every night, give a glimpse into taboo subject matters. Like human anatomy and infidelity. I mean, there was a whole stage show about the vagina model. Vagina models. Really? Yeah. You never heard of the, Vagina models? Oh, I have heard of that, but that’s like a feminists thing, right? Yeah, I don’t think it was a musical. I don’t think they made it sing. The vagina didn’t sing. It just, it just gave ’em all. It just spoke eloquently. But the boobs? The boobs? The boobs aren’t giving. I’m hoping this is a yes. And I’m clearing my schedule. And they should have said play-boob. That’d be good. I think it’s just fake. I would agree. All right. Come on. It’s, real. Yes! Ugh! And premiered Off-Broadway in 2003. Boobs of music. Okay. Boobs exclamation point the musical. I see the poster. Did you catch the songs, I dropped ugly man with money and pizza every night, are two real songs. And can you look up what the box office was on this? $13? Wow. Yeah. Box office. We’re not getting any numbers. You can’t say, oh, maybe we can. Here we are on the Wiki. Hey, it won some awards. Do you know what a good box office for Off-Broadway shows is? Nope. Musical numbers included. ‘Queer things are happening.’ It’s true. ‘Johnny’s yo yo.’ ‘The dingy song.’ Wait, are you reading Off-Broadway musicals? We cannot have this. No, this is all the songs from Boobs!. Yeah, these are the songs. These are the Boobs’ Songs. Oh! That’s interesting. Personally, I would not have seen this. Yep. I’ll be honest. Attack of the Elvis impersonators. Oh, don’t bring him back into this. The ghost of Elvis inhabits the body of Drac or Drake Frenzy, a burnt-out, world-famous, heavy metal icon and convinces his disciples, that in order to bring peace to the planet. The entire human race must impersonate Elvis and convert to the new religion, Hound Dog. There’s so many like Elvis things out there. And you gotta get permission for all of it. Right. Well it’s Off-Broadway. Maybe his name is Shmelvis. Attack of Shmelvis impersonators. Yeah, but yeah, ’cause it’s like- That Elvis estate, they hold it pretty tight. We made it through though. They let us make some videos there. Yeah, but we had to do it in a respectful way. And we did. Wait really? When’d y’all go? A few years ago we went to Memphis. We made three videos. And we did was it a… Was that a Willet that we did at Elvis’ place? I think we were ranking his favorite foods. Not Robin was not one, one of ’em. But like the Elvis people like, kind of watch you as you work. Mm. You wanna make sure that like, they’re not gonna make fun of Elvis, right? One eyebrow, little raise. He had many, an ice cream bar in his house. Yes. Bars that only served ice cream. I’m saying this is… You’re saying this is no because of the red Elvis tape. Yeah. But I’m saying this is a yes. I’m saying I’m gonna, yeah. It’s real, premiered Off-Broadway in 2017. That’s recent! Oh, okay. And I- Then you just took the lead. I bet you, they don’t give permission. I bet it was just one of those things that they just took the risk. Yeah, they just hope no one is like, ‘We’re gonna sue you’. I have a friend whose mom has been married to two different guys who were both preachers and Elvis impersonators. Wow. She’s got a narrow, like tight. She cornered the market. It sounds like too. She, but she’s found two of ’em. She’s found two of them. I betcha there’s more of that. I mean, if you’re an Elvis impersonator, you could, you could be a preacher. I’ll do your wedding. You know, you- Oh, that kind of preacher? Do your wedding. And you do the wedding and the next thing you know, “Oh, I preach too.” Yeah. I think that’s probably. You probably starts with Elvis and then turns to Jesus. ‘Cause that’s what happened with Elvis. Sure. Have you seen the 1968 comeback special? He didn’t turn into Jesus. No, He turned to Jesus. Oh. what? You know? He found God He has the whole gospel section. Yeah. If there was- I don’t know if that constitutes him turning to Jesus. I don’t think he ever turned away. I don’t think he ever turned away. I mean, if the Elvis estate is watching, I don’t think Elvis ever turned away from Jesus. Jesus finally came to take him home. I agree! If this movie plot was real in real life and you, everyone had to be an Elvis impersonator, but you had to pick a different celebrity. Who would you pick? Oh. Everybody had to imitate one celebrity. Oh. If it was Jeff Goldblum, everyone would be happy. I mean, he makes everybody happy. Tom Hanks is another good one. Tom Hanks makes everybody happy. But I think it’s gotta be somebody vanilla. It’s gotta be somebody that everyone can do though. That’s thing about Elvis is everyone has like an Elvis and they’re all bad. But you know- You know who it is. Like a Christopher Walken. You had, like a, Walken. Everybody’s ‘Walken’ around. The “I’m Walken Here!” musical. Yeah. But everyone’s Christopher Walken. Yeah. Yeah. ‘I’m Walken here!’. That’s it? That’s the name of it. I know, that’s what I said. Dang! And so, so yeah. That’s that- Okay, this is your chance to tie it up. Or Brittany walks with the win on this one. ‘Walken’s with the win. That’s good. That’s good, Stevie. You’re the lead. Sax-squatch. I can’t even say it. Sax squatch, a saxophone playing sasquatch. I’ll follow him on Instagram. Sasquatch? Yep. Sasquatch. Charms his way into the hearts of the people in a small town in West Virginia. But when the media gets word of his existence, hunters from all over the world, come to capture him, as well as area 51 scientists and the FBI. Sax-squatch, so, he plays the saxophone, which he wins over the town? Yeah. There’s no way this cause people at West Virginia are not into the saxophone. I’ve tried that before. Now if it was Sex-squatch. I tried to lure some West Virginians into a trap, one time with a saxophone. Didn’t pan out. Well, Nope. Wrong instrument. So I’m gonna say no. And hey, you don’t wanna talk about it anymore either. Yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say. No comments, no question. So let’s see. You could tie Britney. We can’t beat her, but we could tie her. Are we both in the- Yeah, One box. We both have four, so we basically are doing the opposite of what you’re gonna do just. And I am sorry. What is that? I need to post something, what did that say? Figure out something. Said figure out something. Yeah, don’t worry about it. It was a, so you had a message. It was like, figure it out right now. Figure out world hunger. And I said, I’m on it. I got an alarm set for it. Wow. Every day. Every day. So. Give a little thought. We’re the reason that world hunger is not currently being figured out, right? Yeah, I just snoozed it. This is not, it can wait. That’s it. We’re not keeping you from anything. Thank you. This is more important. Thank you. So what are you gonna- I gotta know your answer. We gotta do the opposite. Even though I think that this is fake. This is a TikTok account that I follow. So this is not a real musical because that’s a real character. Oh wow. There’s a guy who gets up in a Sasquatch suit and plays saxophone. Is he good? Yeah, he’s incredible. Oh wow. Well I have to disagree with you just in case that TikTok character is based on a real musical. On a real person. Yeah. Me too. All right. It is fake. Oh! Brittany’s correct. Brittany! All the way around. Sax-squatch. I gotta follow that account. He’s fantastic. Sax-squatch on TikTok. Oh man. Wow. That’s cool. Dang! The Funkiest Big Foot out there. Look, they put him in a Willie. They put a bandana on him. He’s wearing some pit viper sunglasses, right there. Dang. Yeah. Only the best. It’s what they killing the game. It’s true. Yeah, he’s great follow him on TikTok. I’m interested. You know what, Brittany, thanks for hanging out with us, but I’d love for you to kind of get to that world hunger thing. Yeah. Yeah. I’ll ill leave you guys to it. A hot dogs as a sandwich is about- There you go. All the food controversies. Shattered the beer bottle, dude. I shattered the beer bottle. I gotta- Oh no. That’s my bad. Oh, my Gosh.
