I’ve fallen down my yearly alex brightman/the (m)orons hole, do you have any idea where I could find the og “I could use a drink” video? I’ve noticed it disappeared off of youtube a while ago

Yep yep! Here's two of them I reuploaded on YouTube for convenience, sourced from the internet archive of WeAreTheMorons.com!

I thought I knew about a guy like drew, and I have head the redux, but what are the original lyrics? I found a crappy recording on SoundCloud, but it's hard to make out everything Alex says. I would have asked the first time round if I knew it was different...

Here's a quick transcription of the lyrics and banter in the original, I underlined bits I wasn't really sure about.

Where did you find the info for the 2008 reading and without linking it to me, how on earth did you find his Flickr account?

I was searching Flickr for stagedooring photos of Wicked (you can search by date on there), happened to find one posted I thought was a fan account reposting pictures from his Twitter/Insta [never seen them so I usually assume images I can't source are from them] but it turned out to be a family member, I just checked their following since there were only a couple accounts and found it there. His actual url is also not at all difficult to find, but I never thought to search it until after I'd stumbled upon it. It's not like its hidden, Flickr is just difficult to search.

I'm sure theres a lot of Wicked stuff im missing, its just so hard to search for with how popular it is. So, I go looking for that kinda stuff a lot. He's wearing these little reading glasses in one video, so I draw Boq with those now haha.

Another thing I forgot to ask. The video of Alex dancing to Hairspray, where did you find that? Do you know where it's from? I've only seen it floating around here, Pinterest, and Instagram on fan accounts.

That's the same place I found it honestly, I believe it was probably on his Twitter or Instagram before they were wiped, but I'm not sure.

Also, The Book of Mormon reading?? That's awesome! Please elaborate.

He read as Elder Cross in 2008. Here's a fun picture from that. This is from Flickr, it's from his account which I think is alright to post from since its literally just him posing with cast members and stuff, but I don't want to link it for privacy reasons sorry! (Wayyy too easy to find relatives through it)

Thanks for all of that! That's awesome information. I am also the kind of person who has "need to know everything" hyperfixations. It's currently week 3 or 4 I think. What kind of interviews do you watch? I've been watching all the ones I can find, but a lot of them are either from School of Rock and later. Plus a handful of them from 2020 are difficult to find. Is there a huge chunk I'm missing? How long have you been a fan of (or been hyperfixated on) Alex?

P.S. I feel so stupid! Of course I've seen BROdway lol. I just didn't pay attention to the title, but I love that vid.

This is my playlist of all his interviews and podcasts (that are on youtube, check spotify too). It includes interviews from the other (m)orons too if you're interested.

I'll also add that a good way to find things is looking through fan accounts and seeing if you can source all of their pictures, a lot of them don't even know what the pictures are of themselves and where theres one picture there's usually a few. You can also use advanced search indicators to search sites like YouTube and Twitter for posts before dates before he was ridiculously popular (2014 is a good year for that).

Flickr is a great source as well if you're looking for pictures, but it can be difficult because many people don't name their photos. I also personally don't repost photos I find on Flickr because I consider it a semi-public site, like Facebook its completely public, but most people still expect a level privacy and you can never know what people don't want reshared.

I've only been a fan for a year! Not that even, it was literally New Years last year that I first came across his work and it clicked for me immediately. Although I'm not really interested in BJTM anymore, I'm happy I found out about it because it got me where I am now.

(Also attaching this here because it completely slipped my mind, bur there's also an I Could Use a Drink Kickstarter with a fun video if you haven't seen it)

[honeydewtreacle]

Okay, I just went over the iceberg and I have found or heard of a large majority of the stuff on there. My main question is how did you discover all of this stuff he's been in?

My other question are as follows

What is "why don't we say..."?

Do you have any information on Everything is Fine? I wasn't able to find much at all besides a basic premise.

What is Love NY?

Did you find a video of him singing the national anthem? I read about it and an article from the SoR days, but I didn't find footage.

I know about everything on the third tire except "Megan"? UNLESS IT'S THAT MEGAN!!? In that case, we good 👍😳👀

Is On Your Marc the show he and Drew created that is going to show (I believe) off Broadway starting early next year ? The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers?

Wasn't able to find much on Slow Children either, so if you have any, that'd be awesome!

What is "I could use a drink" BTS? I know about Drew's show, but the BTS I'm not sure about.

BROdway? I searched it up and could find nothing.

Last I guess is how on earth did you find that Collage staging of Hair he did? That's a deep cut!

One thing to suggest be put on there if you want to add anything is Twilight in Manchego. I just found it today. Idk if you've already discovered it, but in case you haven't it's something he did in 2008 I believe. If you Google it, it should pop up. There are a few videos on YouTube and there's a Facebook page.

So happy to answer!! I found most of this just by watching interviews, he's mentioned a lot of the stuff he's done offhandedly, not all of it of course. Others I found just by googling around, theres this site that has extended credits which is helpful. But really a lot of this isn't too difficult to find, I have "I must know everything about this topic" hyperfixations if that gives any more context.

And I'll say right off the bat that I found out about Twilight in Manchego like a few days after I made the ice berg, so I'd definitely put it on there now. Another thing I'd probably add now would be the reading he did for Book of Mormon.

Okay, now onto that list!

- I meant "How come no one says.." the song by Brett Ryback, that's my bad, I consistently get the song name wrong for some reason. I added it to the list because Alex has sung it four times (thats been recorded [1, 2, 3, 4] CW for wildly ableist language) and I'm like 99.9999% sure its the song he references in this interview and I found that a bit amusing.

- For both Everything is Fine and Slow Children, I only know what Alex has said in interviews. I don't have specific links, nor the time to rewatch a bunch of stuff right now, but I believe he talks about both of them briefly in this podcast with Drew if I'm remembering correctly. (I'm super sorry if I'm wrong!!)

- Love, NY was a show he did a reading for at the New World Stages, here's a playlist of the some the performance. He plays a character named Benjamin (Benji).

- No!! I never found a national anthem video, drives me up a damn wall honestly, you'd think something like that would be documented but I've had zero luck finding anything.

- I definitely mean that Megan yes. I thought it'd be funny.

- Kinda! On Your Marc is the documentary they did about the show. It was screened at a few conventions from what I know. It's listed on Alex's imdb.

- There's this fun article about the recording of the album, including a video which is broken in the article (had to check their Flickr to find it) so here's that.

- It's just a YouTube video! But it's a bit hard to search because of the pun, so here's that.

- I found it because F mentioned it in this show, I thought it was hilarious and I immediately had to find it.

Thank you for asking!! I will answer the other one soon, but I'm out right now. ^v^
