I reached out to a local artist, and got his manager. And I think if I harnessed the mental energy of both the artist AND the manager...I could make toast. Very light toast.
I won't give you the back story, and the actual situation is a bit convoluted. But let's say I'd like the guy to pick a classic movie from the 1960s or before.
Me: If he'd like to take part, he'd just need to pick a classic movie from the 1960s or before....
Manager: Oh, you know what he loves? The Avengers! Is it OK if he picks that one?
Me: No, actually, for this particular thing, he'd need to pick a movie from the 1960s or older. So like Casablanca or Gone With the Wind....
Manager: He says he'd love to take part, and he loves Adam Sandler comedies. He also loves the Saw franchise. He could anything from either of those two...
Me: No. Classic movies. From before 1970. Those are the only ones we're using.
Manager: Do you have Avatar? Or maybe Breakfast Club?
...seriously, our entire conversation has been going like this.
