Okay, so I know this blog has become all about the whole Phil thing, and I apologize. But when we look back at this stuff when we're old and wrinkly, we're going to want to remember every bit of this stuff. The following is an excerpt from something I steefed* from the commercial set in San Diego.
(Preface: this is a bunch of ideas that the producers had for the Phils to do. The commercial probably won't feature all of these. Also, there were to Phil look-alikes named Mark, so "Mark Braces" is my hubby. It's a lot funnier when you know that Blake is an Asian actor they threw into the commercial. He looks nothing like Phil.)
LOOKALIKES:
Mike Slyce: Asks Phil a styling question- "How do you get your hair to go like that, like what do you use? Mine always sticks up here." The discussion takes a diversion from golf to grooming.
Dave to Mike: One look-alike mistakes another look-alike for the real Phil.
Dave: Nice to meet you Phil, I'm a big fan. I watch you all the time. It's an honor to be here.
Mike: I'm not Phil, that's Phil.
Group: Discuss whose individual parts would make the perfect Phil look-alike - "Your nose is great. If he had your nose and my hair, that would be a perfect Phil."
Mark Braces: The look-alike next to Phil copies every tiny movement that Phil does.
Dave Coonan: Realizes that the look-alikes could help Phil by signing his autograph for fans. They practice Phil's signature on the jotters.
Blake: Blake nods along to other people's stories, as if the same thing happens to him all the time. He's tormented by that stuff all the time.
Group: Tell them to mimic the style of Phil's laugh, the first time he laughs at something.
While someone else is talking, one of them studies Phil and tries to fix his own hair to match Phil's.
One of the Phils sits sideways on, because that's his better Phil side. Phil should ask him why he is sitting that way.
ACTUAL STORIES WE CAN ASK THEM TO RECOUNT:
Group: Discuss the perks of being mistaken for Phil: getting free carts, window seats at restaurants.
What are the downsides? Overhearing people say Phil's no way as good as he used to be.
Dave Coonan: When you're being intimate with your wife, you don't want to hear it then.
Mike Slyce: How taxing it can be- "Sometimes I'm not in the mood to be Phil Mickelson, like if I'm at the airport and I've been in meetings all day."
Bradley: Having a golf course in a panic, because they thought I was Phil, and nobody had forewarned them I was coming.
*to steef is to steal, but it sounds a lot cuter when you say you steefed something.
