Scott Galloway uses the term “blue flame thinker” a lot on his podcasts. In his case, he’s describing someone with original ideas or that are forward thinking.

That's interesting! Based on context, I think you're right. Though some small part of me hopes he's talking about someone who thinks about Bunsen burners all the time.

This would be the much better option...

I like your blue flamer definitions better! Honestly I have never heard that expression in my whole life. Such a headscratcher they got that tiny extremely specific bit accurate while everything else was so WTF. Off to read the continuation since I am also curious to learn more about Latter Day Saints other than what I gleaned from the excellent Book of Mormon musical. Which I'm sure was completely fact-checked and 💯 reliable since Trey Parker and Matt Stone tend to nail everything!

What is this musical and how do I find it?

OMG it's so good, even my hubs likes it when we saw it and he hates musicals so much! Listen to the OST on Spotify. It has Josh Gad so if you liked him as Olaf in Frozen and Lefou in Beauty and the Beast then it's a no brainer. I recommend these two tracks first if you're short on time: Hasa Diga Eebowai, and You and Me (but mostly Me)
