Speaker 1: High Scrollers is produced on Gadigal land.
Speaker 2: We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this
Speaker 2: country and elders past and present.
Speaker 1: Always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I'm Brittany Saunders.
Speaker 2: And I'm all right. Hey, and this is High Scrollers,
Speaker 2: the podcast version of your favorite group chat.
Speaker 3: We've been sharing our lives online for over 10 years.
Speaker 3: So who better to catch you up on everything that's
Speaker 3: going viral?
Speaker 2: And we talk a lot about ourselves as well. And today,
Speaker 2: spoiler alert, something terrible has happened about five minutes ago
Speaker 2: in this studio. And I've ruined everything, Scrollers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What a nightmare.
Speaker 1: You have fucked up.
Speaker 2: We will get stuck into that straight away. Plus... We
Speaker 2: talk about making mistakes and trying to rectify them 10
Speaker 2: years later. Also, I found a festival in America that
Speaker 2: I am low-key obsessed with. But then again, Britney very
Speaker 2: easily changes my mind and opens my eyes to how
Speaker 2: fucked up it actually is. Deal me in, doll. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: It's not a good morning, scrollers.
Speaker 1: We've got an announcement to make.
Speaker 2: I have devastating news. I have really devastating news. So
Speaker 2: we were just, I was just getting dressed to do
Speaker 2: this podcast episode. And as you know, the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, I've booked a trip somewhere and we're meant
Speaker 2: to be guessing where the trip is. And each week
Speaker 2: I've been given Brittany clues and things like that. And
Speaker 2: we're trying to get closer and closer to find out
Speaker 2: where I'm going. Well, as we were just preparing for this,
Speaker 2: I wanted to give Brittany the heads up and remind
Speaker 2: her that she needs to come up with a yes
Speaker 2: or no question to ask me, right? To figure out
Speaker 2: where I'm going. And I'm standing here putting my jacket on,
Speaker 2: zipping it up. And let's just say, because Brittany's already
Speaker 2: guessed India. Let's just say this is how the scenario...
Speaker 2: I'm going to reenact it again.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's not India, everyone.
Speaker 2: It's not India. But that was Brittany's first guess, I think.
Speaker 2: But as I was standing there doing my jacket up,
Speaker 2: I was looking in the mirror. Obviously, I'm a little tired.
Speaker 2: I'm a little out of it. And I literally go,
Speaker 2: and Britt, don't forget, you've got to ask a question
Speaker 2: about India.
Speaker 1: And he said... And I.
Speaker 2: Said where I was going and stopped halfway through the
Speaker 2: country that I'm going to.
Speaker 3: I honestly think this is a good thing that I
Speaker 3: now know because... The place that it is was going
Speaker 3: to be my next guess anyway. I almost said it
Speaker 3: in the last episode, but I didn't. And so if
Speaker 3: I had guessed it today, you would have then had
Speaker 3: to have said yes, that's it.
Speaker 2: And it would be over.
Speaker 1: The game would be over.
Speaker 3: So we thought, even though I now know, let's make
Speaker 3: this a game for the scrollers.
Speaker 2: Like, honestly, I feel sick. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. It just slipped out. And I
Speaker 2: didn't think Brittany heard it and I knew Gay J
Speaker 2: heard it. And I was like, Gay J, shut your mouth.
Speaker 2: And Brittany's like, no, I heard it too.
Speaker 3: So, but let's just keep it going. Because I think
Speaker 3: this is a fun game.
Speaker 2: For the scrollers to guess. But we have to reveal.
Speaker 2: Brittany and Gay J now know. So I don't think
Speaker 2: you're going to be able to ask a yes or
Speaker 2: no question, but maybe you can ask a yes or
Speaker 2: no question and it still will narrow it down.
Speaker 1: Let's see how this goes.
Speaker 4: I thought, why don't we choose a question from the
Speaker 4: listeners each week?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So let's go. I'm going to go back and
Speaker 2: see if I can find people asking on the episode
Speaker 2: and in the chat.
Speaker 1: Guess where Matt's going?
Speaker 2: So, someone said, should ask if going northern or southern hemisphere.
Speaker 1: So, we've established that it is the southern hemisphere.
Speaker 2: Someone said as well the time of year. So, ask
Speaker 2: what season he's going.
Speaker 1: Well, you said you're going this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this year's basically half over.
Speaker 2: We've still got spring and summer. True. Also, I did
Speaker 2: see a comment as well. Someone said in the comment
Speaker 2: section that.
Speaker 2: Someone commented saying, I just came here to say pecan.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Did one of you, like, say,
Speaker 2: if you've listened to the episode, say pecan? Like, where
Speaker 2: did pecan come from?
Speaker 1: Is that your word of the Segway Olympics?
Speaker 2: No, which we are also doing in this episode. We
Speaker 2: should probably explain that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what pecan means.
Speaker 2: I don't know it either.
Speaker 3: Anyway, we're playing the Segway Olympics today, and Gay J
Speaker 3: will now insert a little clip of him saying what
Speaker 3: our words are.
Speaker 2: Okay, scholars.
Speaker 5: Matt's word is elephant and Britt's word is charisma.
Speaker 1: And so we haven't played this game for a little while,
Speaker 1: but it's fun.
Speaker 2: Yes. Basically, if you don't know the Segway Olympics, we
Speaker 2: got this from Bob and Monet's podcast. And basically, Gay
Speaker 2: J has given us a word each and we have
Speaker 2: to incorporate it somewhere throughout this episode. But we also
Speaker 2: have to call each other out and try and figure
Speaker 2: out what the word is. And so... Once we say
Speaker 2: the word, the other person has to jump in. And
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to be terrible at this because
Speaker 2: clearly I'm so terrible. I revealed where I was bloody going.
Speaker 2: So I'm not even on board with myself today. So
Speaker 2: that'll be good. Any other questions? Gay J, have you
Speaker 2: seen any questions that we can narrow it down from
Speaker 2: the scrollers in the chat? Oh, and I need to
Speaker 2: give a clue. I need to give a clue.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's your next?
Speaker 2: Oh, wait, no, I have a, I have a question. Well,
Speaker 2: I was going to give that as a clue anyway,
Speaker 2: but I did see a question. Someone did make a good,
Speaker 2: And they said, is it just one flight or do
Speaker 2: you have to have a connecting flight? And I thought
Speaker 2: that would be, then I was going to make that
Speaker 2: the clue.
Speaker 3: But I feel like most places out of Australia, it's
Speaker 3: like most of the time you needed two flights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true.
Speaker 1: Like it's pretty direct flights are pretty rare.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think, wait, so what's your clue?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't get that far because... Well,
Speaker 2: the clue is, because what I wanted to do was
Speaker 2: give you a little bit more context as to more
Speaker 2: of the geographical location, right?
Speaker 3: And so our clue so far is you're not excited
Speaker 3: about the food situation.
Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
Speaker 1: You want us to think outside the box.
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
Speaker 1: Was that it? That's the clues.
Speaker 2: And the other clues were I've never been there before.
Speaker 1: And you're going this year?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes. Well, your clue of the week is
Speaker 2: there's water involved. Okay. That's everyone's clue of the week, so...
Speaker 2: Get thinking because, you know, some people were thinking like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, someone gets Mount Everest. We're cancelling that.
Speaker 2: I will 100% give you a bonus clue and say
Speaker 2: it's not climbing Mount Everest.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So what's your yes or no question? But then it's
Speaker 2: hard because Brittany knows where I am. But now you're
Speaker 2: team scrollers. Okay.
Speaker 3: So how about I won't ask questions anymore. It's just
Speaker 3: going to turn into a game of clues.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's enough though? I think people are
Speaker 2: going to need more than like one clue a week, right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's ask a listener question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Have we got any?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got one right here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go, go, go.
Speaker 4: So Sophie has asked, are you packing swimwear in your luggage?
Speaker 2: Yes. Okay.
Speaker 3: Well, there's your clue, scrollers, and your question. Leave a
Speaker 3: comment on the episode on Spotify, please. I'm a Spotify girlie.
Speaker 2: Fabulous.
Speaker 1: Through and through, and I know.
Speaker 6: And if anyone sees me out and about in the wild,
Speaker 6: don't you dare ask me to my face.
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: If I'm out for dinner and a scroller says hello
Speaker 3: and they're going to go, where's Matt going?
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you. I'm going to be rude and
Speaker 1: I'm going to say no. So don't ask. And if
Speaker 1: I've had a few drinks.
Speaker 2: Just say India. India. You said you had another present
Speaker 2: for me this week.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Well, it was actually a gift to me.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: But I thought you might like it more than me.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: It's a hat.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: And it's this hat.
Speaker 2: Do you want me to close my eyes? No.
Speaker 1: It's a Newcastle hat.
Speaker 2: Which I love and who gifted this to you?
Speaker 1: Newcastle Airport.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it.
Speaker 1: So, here you go.
Speaker 2: Do more than Sydney. Thank you.
Speaker 3: So, Newey Airport. Has Newey merch. And I just thought
Speaker 3: that is the funniest thing ever.
Speaker 2: I've got to make that a bit bigger.
Speaker 1: And this is a fun turquoise hat.
Speaker 2: Fun turquoise.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What color is that to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's just white.
Speaker 4: White.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does that look good?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How are the optics for on camera? Am I like
Speaker 2: still lit up enough? Am I able to wear this
Speaker 2: the whole?
Speaker 5: Could you lift it higher because you're shadowing your face?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Rep the Newey merch.
Speaker 2: Does that look stupid?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No. If anyone sees a social clip of me in this,
Speaker 2: they're just going to be like, why is he wearing
Speaker 2: that Newcastle airport hat?
Speaker 1: Well, you can't even see the logo because it's white.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: Do you know what turquoise looks like?
Speaker 2: Not really.
Speaker 1: Did you just say turquoise?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: How do you say that word?
Speaker 2: Turquoise? Yeah, that's better. Turquoise.
Speaker 5: You would have no idea what turquoise is.
Speaker 3: So you're telling me that you're not even enjoying Fortnite
Speaker 3: and all the colors that it has.
Speaker 2: No, but I've told you before about the Kim Kardashian outfit.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that? No. So I turned on colorblind
Speaker 2: settings because you can turn on colorblind settings because basically
Speaker 2: the guns have different levels. So you can find the
Speaker 2: same gun five times, but it could be a gray
Speaker 2: gun or a green gun or a blue or a
Speaker 2: purple or a gold in that's in respective order. So
Speaker 2: obviously if you've got a gray gun and you find
Speaker 2: a gold gun, you want to swap it out for
Speaker 2: the gold one. Yeah. But when you're colorblind, you can't tell.
Speaker 2: So when I play, I actually have to, cause when
Speaker 2: you like hover over the gun that you find on
Speaker 2: the ground, let's say, um, it'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 2: Like it'll say legendary, which is the goal, which is like,
Speaker 2: it deals the most damage. It's the best one to use.
Speaker 2: So I was doing that. And each time I have
Speaker 2: to read, but obviously in this game, like you've got
Speaker 2: to be fast. So for people who can tell the colors,
Speaker 2: like you just pick it up and go, whereas I
Speaker 2: have to pause and be like, Oh, it's a legendary one.
Speaker 2: Cause the green, which is like the bottom second, last level,
Speaker 2: and the gold look exactly the same, and then the
Speaker 2: blue and the purple look exactly the same. So I
Speaker 2: do have to take a second to be like, is
Speaker 2: that a legendary one? Like when people spectate me, when
Speaker 2: they've died and I run past a gold gun, they'll
Speaker 2: be like, um, there's all that gold loot just there. Like,
Speaker 2: why haven't you gone over there? And I'm like, I
Speaker 2: thought it was green, you know? Anyway, they have colorblind settings.
Speaker 2: So I turned the colorblind settings on. It made it
Speaker 2: more difficult for me because no one says there's a
Speaker 2: legendary pistol over there. They say there's a gold pistol
Speaker 2: over there, but then it changes the colors for me.
Speaker 2: So gold was red. So then communicating with my teammates
Speaker 2: didn't really work. Sorry, Fortnite chat again, everyone. You're so
Speaker 2: bored if you don't know what it is. Anyway, I
Speaker 2: changed the colorblind settings. So they change all the colors
Speaker 2: on the screen for everything, right?
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2: So then we're playing as Kim Kardashian and this was
Speaker 2: during Christmas time, which they did this Winterfest activation in
Speaker 2: the game. So there was a lot of snow everywhere
Speaker 2: and I changed my skin to Kim Kardashian and she
Speaker 2: has this skin that has like a bodysuit on and
Speaker 2: you can change the color of. So I changed the
Speaker 2: color on the bodysuit and cause I had the colorblind
Speaker 2: settings on, she was like white. So then I'm telling
Speaker 2: all my teammates, put this one on because you blend
Speaker 2: into the snow and people don't see you as, as
Speaker 2: well because you like, it's the, the outfit is the
Speaker 2: same color as the snow in the game. So as
Speaker 2: you're running through the snow, no one can see you.
Speaker 2: And everyone kind of was like, oh, okay. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 2: No worries. So everyone puts it on and I go,
Speaker 2: how good is this? No one can see us. No
Speaker 2: one can see us. Anyway, like two days later, I
Speaker 2: was like, I hate the color blind settings. I'm going
Speaker 2: to turn it off. The outfit is hot pink. Nice.
Speaker 2: And the snow is white. So like you are standing
Speaker 2: out like so obviously and no one thought to be like,
Speaker 2: hang on a sec, Matt, this doesn't make sense. Like
Speaker 2: we're hot pink.
Speaker 1: Color blindness is so interesting to me, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things that I can't explain.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people go, well, what color is this? Well,
Speaker 2: what color is this? Well, what color is this? Well,
Speaker 2: every single shade is different. So if you hold up
Speaker 2: a certain shade of red, I'll go, that's red. But
Speaker 2: if you hold up a different shade of red, it
Speaker 2: might be orange to me. It might be brown. Generally,
Speaker 2: most things are duller. So, like, I might be like,
Speaker 2: that's a nice.
Speaker 1: What even is it?
Speaker 3: Like, what is colorblindness? Like, is it something in your
Speaker 3: brain not connected?
Speaker 2: No, it's in your eyes.
Speaker 1: But your eyes don't see. It's your brain that sees.
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Do you know that your eyes don't see? It's your brain. Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, I'll take your word for it. But
Speaker 2: it is the first time I'm hearing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Our eyes don't see anything.
Speaker 2: Is your word brain? Is your Olympics? No. What do
Speaker 2: we call it? Segway Olympics?
Speaker 1: No, I've actually forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.
Speaker 1: Your eyes do not see.
Speaker 6: It's your brain that sees and tells your eyes what
Speaker 6: you're seeing.
Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I don't know then, but all I know is
Speaker 2: I see colors totally different. Like I'll be like, that's
Speaker 2: a nice blue top. And you'll be like, it's purple.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's so interesting.
Speaker 3: I've also heard of a lot of people that are,
Speaker 3: I went to say auditioning. But like trying out to
Speaker 3: get into the army or the navy or whatever. And
Speaker 3: they do all the testing, like they get all the
Speaker 3: way through. And then they find out at the end
Speaker 3: that they have a certain type of colour blindness, which
Speaker 3: they didn't even know about. And then they can't get
Speaker 3: into whatever it is that they're auditioning for.
Speaker 2: Because don't forget, when we were in primary school.
Speaker 1: What is it trying out for? Applying for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, applying. Don't forget in primary school when the teacher said,
Speaker 2: this is the colour red. Whatever I saw.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's red.
Speaker 2: That's red. And then when you see red, so if
Speaker 2: you hold up something red and I say red.
Speaker 1: This is red.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: But like, that's because we both learn it, even though
Speaker 2: the color that I see is totally different. But also
Speaker 2: how do we know what color is?
Speaker 1: We're never going to know.
Speaker 2: You might be seeing that, like to me, that's actually
Speaker 2: yellow to you, but you're seeing it as red because
Speaker 2: you learned it as red. Exactly.
Speaker 1: That's a thing.
Speaker 3: And Gage, did you look something up before? Cause I
Speaker 3: saw your face go.
Speaker 4: Um, Yeah, so I did look up the eyes and
Speaker 4: the brain thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And it said, yeah, you don't see through your eyes,
Speaker 4: you see through your brain, the eyes, like they act
Speaker 4: as a camera, essentially, and then your brain is actually
Speaker 4: what's putting everything together.
Speaker 2: Do you reckon you have any bobby pins in your bag? Maybe, why?
Speaker 2: Did you see that girl who was like, you have
Speaker 2: a magnetic third eye here, and if you put a
Speaker 2: bobby pin there, it'll stick?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me look.
Speaker 2: See if you've got a bobby pin. Is your word
Speaker 2: bobby pin? No.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you've got a bobby pin in there because I
Speaker 2: want to see if I've got a magnet right here.
Speaker 3: I haven't tried it, but I've seen that video, but
Speaker 3: I don't really use bobby pins all that much.
Speaker 2: Should we do a what's in my bag? Throw it
Speaker 2: back to the, that can be a YouTube exclusive.
Speaker 3: Let's do that for the YouTube exclusive because fuck, I've
Speaker 3: got some shit in here.
Speaker 2: I've got my bag here too. We could do what's
Speaker 2: in my bag and my bag too. Yeah, please. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's fun. That's fun. Okay, everyone. A YouTube exclusive. They
Speaker 2: drop Friday at 6pm, by the way, if you're not aware.
Speaker 2: It is just a bonus episode on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I've got no bobby pins, sorry.
Speaker 2: And we just do whatever each week.
Speaker 1: So let's do a what's in our bag.
Speaker 2: That'd be so fun. I know, that is fun.
Speaker 1: But sorry, I don't have a bobby pin.
Speaker 2: That's fine. That's all good. What the fuck were we
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 1: Color blindness and not getting into the army.
Speaker 2: Whatever. Yeah. Oh, that's fine. I don't need to be
Speaker 2: in the army. That's all good. I've got Fortnite anyway.
Speaker 2: That'll be my army outlet. And I can't be a
Speaker 2: truck driver and I can't be a pilot. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm all good with all that. I actually wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: being a garbage man, I reckon.
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that's like good. And you know what? I
Speaker 2: always used to say, I feel like I'm having deja vu.
Speaker 2: I probably said this on the pod before, but one
Speaker 2: of my teachers in high school who just was I
Speaker 2: don't know, in my opinion, must've been homophobic or something.
Speaker 2: Cause I wasn't even disruptive at all, but like, he
Speaker 2: was just an asshole to me. Um, he used to
Speaker 2: like yell at me and say like, you'll never amount
Speaker 2: to anything more than a garbage man. And I remember
Speaker 2: being in high school and like, just going, I've thought
Speaker 2: about it a lot. And I think I went back
Speaker 2: to him once and I was like, and what's so
Speaker 2: bad about that? Like everyone goes, Oh, you be a
Speaker 2: garbage man. Like, I feel like people said that when I,
Speaker 2: when I was younger, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Not always to me, but like, that was like a
Speaker 2: thing that people said, well, government job working for the
Speaker 2: council with a whole bunch of benefits, stable job, early,
Speaker 2: early mornings, got the rest of the day ahead.
Speaker 3: A good business would be like a step above that
Speaker 3: owning a garbage company because a lot of businesses, we
Speaker 3: have contracts with, you know, like the big bins. Cause
Speaker 3: like when you're a business, the council bins are not
Speaker 3: big enough. So then you need to pay to have
Speaker 3: a big bin. They come like once a week or,
Speaker 3: or a recycling one, that would be a good business
Speaker 3: to be in. Yeah. Where you just own those big
Speaker 3: metal things and then you just drop it off at
Speaker 3: a business and once a week you go back there
Speaker 3: and pick it up and take it away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That'd be a good business to be in.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Same as storage.
Speaker 2: Storage.
Speaker 1: If you had a block of land.
Speaker 2: Set and forget.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could build those like self-storage things.
Speaker 3: I reckon you'd make a fucking fortune because the cost
Speaker 3: to run is nothing. Electricity to power them and obviously
Speaker 3: you need a huge block of land, which would be
Speaker 3: the most expensive bit.
Speaker 2: Anyway. It's a backup plan for you.
Speaker 5: Please be upstanding for the Royal Flush.
Speaker 1: Well, my Royal Flush. Royal Flush, as always, is something
Speaker 1: that I saw on TikTok.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you have seen her yet,
Speaker 3: but there is a relatively new artist that's popping up
Speaker 3: all over my For You page.
Speaker 1: She's Australian and she's 14 years old.
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I haven't seen her, I don't think.
Speaker 3: Her name is Ali Kate and she is so clever
Speaker 3: when it comes to her TikTok and the way that
Speaker 3: she's posting. She already has a few songs out, but
Speaker 3: she has a new song out called Playing Dirty. And
Speaker 3: she keeps saying on her TikTok that she sounds like
Speaker 3: Tate McRae.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to play you a bit of the
Speaker 1: song now.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you now, I know I always make music
Speaker 3: predictions on this pod. And I've been right every single time.
Speaker 3: I spoke about Addison Rae before she popped off. I
Speaker 3: was saying a while ago Zara Larsson is slept on.
Speaker 3: This was before she did the whole like dolphin meme.
Speaker 3: I am going to predict. She's already on her way there.
Speaker 3: She's got 180,000 followers and her videos are popping off
Speaker 3: at the moment because she is continuously promoting that song
Speaker 3: on her TikTok.
Speaker 2: What's her name?
Speaker 1: Ali Kate, A-L-L-I, Kate. She's 14 years old.
Speaker 3: I reckon in the next two to three years, we're
Speaker 3: all going to be going to pay to see her touring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's a fun song.
Speaker 1: That's a banger.
Speaker 2: Immediately added to playlist.
Speaker 3: For a brand, like for a new artist, and she's
Speaker 3: got a few other songs on Spotify, but this one
Speaker 3: she's just dropped and she's really promoting it.
Speaker 1: I reckon she's going to be huge.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: How good is that for a song? Like for not
Speaker 3: a first song, but like a debut artist, that song
Speaker 3: is amazing. It is such a banger.
Speaker 2: I've added it to my playlist. I'll give you that one.
Speaker 1: So that's my Royal Flush.
Speaker 2: How's getting Set Fire to the Stars Part 2 done?
Speaker 2: Have you done anything to do with that yet?
Speaker 3: No, but I really want to. Like I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 3: So like for context, I'm sure everyone that listens to
Speaker 3: the pod would know, I made a song forever ago
Speaker 3: and it really tanked, I think for a lot of reasons,
Speaker 3: but also because I was a pussy. And so I
Speaker 3: want to either remake the song or– just do a
Speaker 3: new one just for fun. But I don't know, like
Speaker 3: if you want to make a song, who do you contact?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like do I have to find a producer and songwriter
Speaker 3: and can you just contact.
Speaker 1: Like imagine me being like, hey, my name's Brittany.
Speaker 3: Like I'm this business owner, old influencer, and I just
Speaker 3: want to make a song for fun and they would
Speaker 3: fully not understand it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And be like, yeah, right. Can you just pay for
Speaker 1: something like that? Because like I'll put all my money
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just for like the girlies and the gays and to
Speaker 1: have fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What were you going to say, Gay J?
Speaker 4: Why don't you do what you do best– And make
Speaker 4: a video and put the question out there and see
Speaker 4: who jumps out and says, I'll work with you.
Speaker 1: Because, again, this actually is me going back on everything
Speaker 1: that I say and stand for. I'm worried that people
Speaker 1: are going to go, no one's going to make a
Speaker 1: song with you, Brittany. Even though I'm like, fuck.
Speaker 2: So maybe you just need to do it. Like, just
Speaker 2: for fun. Do it scared. Do it scared.
Speaker 1: Just literally for fun. Like, it doesn't have to blow
Speaker 1: up or anything.
Speaker 3: I just thought it would be so funny. And I
Speaker 3: could either remake Set Fire to the Stars or... Do
Speaker 3: a completely new song. I 100% want to do it.
Speaker 3: One of my old YouTube managers, do you remember Victor?
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
Speaker 3: He saw my videos that I made about it and
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, you can remake the song.
Speaker 2: Okay, love.
Speaker 3: But I want to triple clarify that. But I really
Speaker 3: want to do it just for fun. And then, Matt,
Speaker 3: if you and I ever did High Scrollers Live, I.
Speaker 2: Could perform it.
Speaker 1: You could dance.
Speaker 2: I could do Rhydon's Como.
Speaker 1: You could come in and do a rap segment in
Speaker 1: the song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could do a part two remix.
Speaker 1: Because you're really good at rapping. I know. And you
Speaker 1: know what? If it ended up just being a complete
Speaker 1: piss take again.
Speaker 2: Why not? I think lean into that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But I'm almost like, I always like DIYing and doing
Speaker 3: things myself. I've even looked up like learning how to
Speaker 3: use music making software myself. And I wonder if I
Speaker 3: could actually make something from scratch myself. But I just
Speaker 3: don't think I'd be good at like the technical side
Speaker 3: of putting a song together.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there's, like, a lot of layers to songs
Speaker 2: as well that you don't realise are there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like, I just think... Because, I mean, I used to
Speaker 2: be a whiz on the Garage Band, doll. Back in
Speaker 2: the day. I love a bit of Garage Band.
Speaker 1: But just a song is a whole other level. And so, like.
Speaker 3: I was like Googling what to do and then I
Speaker 3: figured like you can actually go on Spotify and look
Speaker 3: at like the credits of every song. So like that
Speaker 3: Ali Kate song, for example, you can click on any
Speaker 3: artist's song, click the credits and it will tell you
Speaker 3: the songwriter, the producer, this, that and the other. Then
Speaker 3: you can click on those people's Spotify accounts and those
Speaker 3: producers have their own Spotify.
Speaker 1: But I'm like surely I can't just email them and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, can I pay you $ 20, 000 and we
Speaker 1: make a song together?
Speaker 2: I don't even think it would be that much.
Speaker 1: You don't reckon? No.
Speaker 2: I didn't pay for writing ScoMo. My management at the
Speaker 2: time paid for it because like that was just like
Speaker 2: a funny conversation that I had with my manager.
Speaker 1: But this is the thing. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: these things cost. Like if I go to someone.
Speaker 2: Because did your management pay for everything back in the day? Yeah.
Speaker 3: And like, but you know, I'm like willing to work with,
Speaker 3: obviously it'd have to be someone that would have the
Speaker 3: kind of style that I would be.
Speaker 2: I think you find the song. Like my mind, like
Speaker 2: when I think of like one of the most perfect
Speaker 2: pop songs that would be achievable for me to probably
Speaker 2: work with that producer. Yeah. I'm thinking Raining Diamonds by
Speaker 2: Ricky Lee. Like Raining Diamonds.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I know that song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. I need a rain, rain, rain. You
Speaker 2: don't know that?
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: So your brain's going, is this your thing by Olympics?
Speaker 2: The way you looked at me, you're like, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I would then go to the Spotify
Speaker 2: thing and I don't know, To me, I feel like
Speaker 2: I remember her going to LA to record that album,
Speaker 2: but if it was, say, a Sydney-based producer, I'd just
Speaker 2: be hitting them up.
Speaker 1: But how do you find those people? Do I need
Speaker 1: to do a LinkedIn post?
Speaker 2: No, on Spotify and then see them and then surely
Speaker 2: they've got a website.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they all have Instagrams, but then I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: me fucking popping in their DMs and they go to
Speaker 3: my page and it's like high scrollers.
Speaker 2: Do they not have an email on their Instagram?
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 2: Which I'm really confused about because have you noticed that
Speaker 2: some people, some brands will email you and say, I
Speaker 2: can't find an email for Matt? Have you noticed that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had some people email.
Speaker 2: But it's like on my Instagram. It's like right there.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Maybe because I've got it embedded in,
Speaker 2: like you have to press the email button to find
Speaker 2: my email. I don't know. Because you just have your
Speaker 2: email in your bio.
Speaker 1: It's written in my LinkedIn bio.
Speaker 2: Maybe I need to do that.
Speaker 6: But anyway, if any scrollers out there know someone, Know.
Speaker 2: How to produce music.
Speaker 4: Please.
Speaker 2: And well as well.
Speaker 1: It's just like an unknown territory for me.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to like contact these music people
Speaker 3: and they're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: You don't even have any music on your page.
Speaker 3: So I thought maybe I should start by just posting
Speaker 3: some singing videos.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Don't. Don't? Why not just like release a song and
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know, do a content series about
Speaker 2: just releasing the song.
Speaker 1: For the fun of it.
Speaker 2: Just be like, why not? And also there's so many
Speaker 2: lessons here. It's like, well, the first lesson obviously is
Speaker 2: just like do whatever you want. But the second lesson
Speaker 2: is like, even if you made a mistake 10 years ago,
Speaker 2: you can like try again. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You don't have to, that's another important lesson. You don't
Speaker 2: need to try again straight away.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, like if something goes wrong, you actually don't
Speaker 2: have to try again immediately. Yeah. You can come back
Speaker 2: to that idea later in life, six months, 12 months,
Speaker 2: 10 years down the track. Let's do it properly when
Speaker 2: you have lived a little bit more life and have
Speaker 2: a little bit more knowledge as to like how to
Speaker 2: execute something to the best of its ability.
Speaker 1: And I just think that even if it's just for
Speaker 1: my community, they'll love it.
Speaker 2: Because imagine as well, if you release Set Fire to
Speaker 2: the Stars and then I feel like you went, you know,
Speaker 2: had the panic of this is shit and went, I
Speaker 2: need to do a better song immediately. I reckon that
Speaker 2: would have been trash as well. Yeah. Whereas now, 10
Speaker 2: years later, like because you waited to try again.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It will be received a lot better. And, uh, because
Speaker 2: I think even if the song's bad, it'll still be hilarious.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Like it'll still be
Speaker 2: such a moment and it'll.
Speaker 1: Still be fun.
Speaker 2: Exactly. And I think that is one of the things
Speaker 2: that helps as well in that kind of industry is
Speaker 2: is not taking things too seriously because I think Set
Speaker 2: Fire to the Stars, you did take really seriously. I did.
Speaker 1: The internet was so different back then.
Speaker 2: I know, but you don't in so many things. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Even back then, obviously less of an extent to today.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: But back then you still didn't take yourself too seriously.
Speaker 2: But then that was like this big project that was
Speaker 2: like a really serious like thing, which is not what
Speaker 2: you usually did.
Speaker 1: Whereas now I would have more fun with it.
Speaker 2: Exactly. And you'd know like what to do. And I
Speaker 2: think it's also about having like, A bit more control
Speaker 2: and a bit more power because obviously you said like when.
Speaker 1: You worked with it.
Speaker 2: I was young back then.
Speaker 1: I had management company.
Speaker 2: You were just taking what the director said to do,
Speaker 2: like lay on this lounge in your bikini. And you're like,
Speaker 2: now you'd be like, if you didn't want to do that,
Speaker 2: you would be able to say that. And it would
Speaker 2: also be accepted. Whereas if you were to say that
Speaker 2: back then, oh, difficult to work with and blah, blah, blah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also you'd probably make sure you had a whole
Speaker 2: team of women on the project or something as well.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Who would all understand that?
Speaker 2: Whereas I feel like when you've got a bunch of
Speaker 2: men being like, get on the chaise lounge and spill
Speaker 2: water on your body.
Speaker 3: I would love to do it if anyone knows anyone.
Speaker 3: But also I just need to put myself out there
Speaker 3: and just message some people. Send them a DM on LinkedIn.
Speaker 3: But yeah, my royal flush is Allie Kate. And her
Speaker 3: new song, Playing Dirty. There's just something about her when
Speaker 3: you watch her videos. She's very clever with her marketing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She's just got a certain like star quality charisma about her.
Speaker 1: I think she's going to blow up and we're going to.
Speaker 2: Be getting tickets. She seems very mature as well, doesn't she? Yeah.
Speaker 1: We're going to be getting tickets to see her.
Speaker 2: I think for a 14-year-old, that's crazy. Yep. Like I
Speaker 2: think about when I was 14, I don't think I
Speaker 2: could tie my shoes properly.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Ali.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Ali. Love her. Well, my Royal Flush
Speaker 2: is so random this week and totally off. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But that's what this podcast is. You know what I'm
Speaker 2: trying to say. We all know that, like, you know,
Speaker 2: we shit on America sometimes on this podcast. And we
Speaker 2: love our American scrollers because at least you're normal, you know.
Speaker 1: Do we have American scrollers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a few. Okay. And to our American
Speaker 2: soldiers who.
Speaker 1: Soldiers– What?
Speaker 2: To our American scrollers.
Speaker 1: American soldiers.
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 2: To our American scrollers who listen to the pod, we
Speaker 2: love you. But sometimes I look at your country and
Speaker 2: I go, what the fuck is going on? For context,
Speaker 2: we did do a YouTube exclusive last week of reacting
Speaker 2: to the competitions that happen in Iowa State Fair, where
Speaker 2: people do turkey calling contests. And I'm sure you've seen
Speaker 2: the videos of people oinking like pigs and stuff on
Speaker 2: stage and like they win cash prizes, right? And, you know,
Speaker 2: we were saying that you really wouldn't get that here
Speaker 2: in Australia. Like that just wouldn't happen. If that contest
Speaker 2: did happen, not many people would go. If people went,
Speaker 2: it would be like, everyone would be like, it's a
Speaker 2: bit of a piss take, but these people take it
Speaker 2: really seriously. And it's like a family day out to
Speaker 2: go to this And I don't know, maybe I'm just uncultured.
Speaker 2: Maybe this stuff is happening at the Easter show, you know,
Speaker 2: and we just don't know about it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is and we don't know about it. But
Speaker 1: I feel like if it is happening in Australia, it's
Speaker 1: probably not very mainstream yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, this is something that is one of the
Speaker 2: weirdest things I've ever seen, but I will say one
Speaker 2: of the most iconic. And it makes me so jealous
Speaker 2: that these sorts of things happen in America because you
Speaker 2: also don't have the same kind of safety standards as
Speaker 2: us here. In Australia, which is kind of 50-50 in
Speaker 2: terms of like sometimes that's good, sometimes that's worrying. Like
Speaker 2: I said, when I go to theme parks in America,
Speaker 2: I go, this ride could never open in Australia. Where
Speaker 2: are the safety standards? Like the Velocicoaster I've spoken about before,
Speaker 2: the crazy– I love a roller coaster. It's the craziest
Speaker 2: roller coaster I've ever been on in my life. You
Speaker 2: hang upside down for multiple periods. You go round loops
Speaker 2: and everything. It's like one of the fastest coasters in
Speaker 2: the world. The bar is a lap bar. You're not even,
Speaker 2: it's not even over your shoulders and you hang upside down.
Speaker 1: Is this the one where you said that you felt
Speaker 1: your brain shaking inside your skull?
Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. And I thought I, my brain had like
Speaker 2: detached from my skull. But that's just, so you're sitting
Speaker 2: in the roller coaster. The only thing holding you in
Speaker 2: is a lap bar. No way. You could not pay me.
Speaker 2: Even Superman Escape at Movie World, you've got like a
Speaker 2: full over harness that goes down. Velocicoaster, just over your lap.
Speaker 2: Like that's like wild to me.
Speaker 1: I just do not do roller coasters.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of instances there at theme parks where
Speaker 2: I just go like, there's another one, Ripsaw Falls or
Speaker 2: something at Universal Orlando. I'm like, I don't know how.
Speaker 2: you're allowed to get that wet. And I don't know
Speaker 2: how you're allowed to go that fast. And I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's bizarre, right? So sometimes the safety standards I question,
Speaker 2: other times the safety standards I go, well, thank God
Speaker 2: they don't exist because you can do things like a
Speaker 2: popcorn festival. Let's all go stand on the street while
Speaker 2: the popcorn trucks throw popcorn at us and we catch
Speaker 2: it in our fucking buckets. Miracle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look
Speaker 2: at this. Okay, let me paint a picture for you, scrollers.
Speaker 2: This is, I'm watching a parade. Everyone's lined up. They've
Speaker 2: shut down the streets. They've got trucks. The trucks have
Speaker 2: like confetti cannons on the back filled with popcorn. And
Speaker 2: everyone takes a bucket and stands on the side. Think
Speaker 2: of the Mardi Gras parade. Think of the Mardi Gras parade.
Speaker 2: They shut down Oxford Street. All the gays get together
Speaker 2: and dance down the street. Same thing, but for popcorn.
Speaker 2: And it's a popcorn parade. And the trucks fill up
Speaker 2: with kilos and kilos and kilos of popcorn. And they
Speaker 2: put them into these confetti cannons and they spray popcorn
Speaker 2: all over the crowd. And everyone stands on the side
Speaker 2: of the street with their buckets and they just get
Speaker 2: covered in popcorn and they catch popcorn in their buckets
Speaker 2: and they celebrate popcorn.
Speaker 1: Well, I've got a lot of mixed feelings about this.
Speaker 2: Why? From a business standpoint, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Look at how happy that lady looks. I know. Showered
Speaker 2: in popcorn.
Speaker 1: So let's start there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I love community building activities. And this is a bit
Speaker 3: heartwarming like Fortnite.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: People would get so excited.
Speaker 3: Kids would get so excited about this when it's the
Speaker 3: day where they take their bucket and get the popcorn.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: Is your word heartwarming or Fortnite? No.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: I already said mine though.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Gay Jay heard me say it.
Speaker 2: Oh. You better say it again. No.
Speaker 1: Have you said yours?
Speaker 2: No. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I love it from that standpoint. It's a day out.
Speaker 1: It gets the community together. I love just wholesome.
Speaker 3: Like this is when, you know, I'm like people are
Speaker 3: so fucking cute. Like getting so excited over popcorn and
Speaker 3: standing on the side of the street.
Speaker 1: With a bucket. But I have one or two other
Speaker 1: questions or concerns.
Speaker 3: My first concern being... Most of the popcorn isn't landing
Speaker 3: in the buckets.
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
Speaker 1: It's going on the floor.
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
Speaker 1: Like it's going on the street.
Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
Speaker 3: Because these cannons are shooting it out and it's going
Speaker 3: in the air and people are holding them up.
Speaker 1: But popcorn is so light.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, so most of it is landing on the street.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking of like the wastage.
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
Speaker 1: And the cleanup. And also, obviously, once they leave, all
Speaker 1: the birds will come and get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And is the popcorn getting caught in the bird's throats
Speaker 3: and killing the birds?
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, the top comment is wasting food. It's so American.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the second comment is why not hand out bags
Speaker 2: of popcorn? Someone goes, sounds boring as fuck.
Speaker 3: So like I get it from like a wholesome community standpoint,
Speaker 3: but I'm like that is wastage. And also like surely
Speaker 3: all animals are going to eat that and like get
Speaker 3: popcorn stuck in their throat and die.
Speaker 1: And also I want to know of all things, why popcorn?
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's in, uh, it's in Indiana and
Speaker 2: let me, let me, can you go Google girl popcorn festival,
Speaker 2: Indiana and like get us like how this started, why
Speaker 2: it started.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's where they're known for growing the crops, you know,
Speaker 3: that provides a lot of popcorn.
Speaker 2: Someone goes, this is either AI or Ohio. And someone goes,
Speaker 2: it's Indiana. Someone said, I'm a white guy. And Dan,
Speaker 2: that's a lot of white people. What, what info do
Speaker 2: you want?
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just any fun facts about the Popcorn
Speaker 2: Festival in Indiana. Like, they have so, like, imagine the
Speaker 2: preparation that goes into, and people probably work for months
Speaker 2: to put on this five-minute popcorn parade.
Speaker 1: But also, most of it goes to waste. That's my concern.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that is sad. But, I mean, it's food.
Speaker 3: Like, at least just, like, fill a public pool with
Speaker 3: popcorn and let people scoop it out or some shit.
Speaker 2: Okay, Google Girl's got some answers.
Speaker 4: So the Indiana Popcorn Festival, it features the nation's second
Speaker 4: oldest popcorn parade where floats are decorated with actual popcorn
Speaker 4: alongside famous five-mile popcorn picnic race and over 300 food
Speaker 4: and craft booths. So fun facts, designers are specifically encouraged
Speaker 4: to use real fluffy popcorn to decorate their parode parades.
Speaker 2: Perot. Perot floats.
Speaker 4: The festival day starts bright and early with a competitive
Speaker 4: five-mile run and walk for the kids.
Speaker 2: While Valparaiso, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know what that means, hosts this massive annual tribute,
Speaker 4: Brazil in Deanna is recognized as the actual birthplace and
Speaker 4: iconic popcorn grower, Orville Deanna.
Speaker 5: Rend and.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think we can get into it. Let's wrap
Speaker 2: this up for some of it. But just to address
Speaker 2: the elephant in the room, I want to say what
Speaker 2: no one has thought about yet because this is the
Speaker 2: first thing that I thought about. Imagine the smell of
Speaker 2: the town.
Speaker 1: It would smell delicious.
Speaker 2: For like how long though?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I'm also thinking, is it butter popcorn? I hope so.
Speaker 2: Is it like a salt and vinegar popcorn?
Speaker 6: No, I reckon they're just plain with salt or something.
Speaker 1: Because if it's too buttery, then it's going to be
Speaker 1: all slimy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true. It wouldn't... The aeration. What's that? Aerodynamics.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I reckon it's plain, light and fluffy salt flavor.
Speaker 2: Okay. Nice. Well, there you go.
Speaker 1: That is very American.
Speaker 2: I know. But see, that's... Because the other thing is...
Speaker 2: The other thing that I was thinking of was health
Speaker 2: and safety standards. Like, you wouldn't be able to do
Speaker 2: that in Australia, I reckon.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Because people would go, well... I'm allergic. Is popcorn gluten-free?
Speaker 2: Go Google, girl. Is popcorn gluten-free?
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: Because you'd have, you know... Like allergies.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You'd have, I mean, food flying around the air and
Speaker 2: being caught in a bucket. I just feel like it
Speaker 2: is gluten free. I would just, I just feel like Australia,
Speaker 2: the government would be like, oh no, we can't have that.
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, like.
Speaker 1: The council clean up.
Speaker 2: Council clean up, but also like someone's getting hit in
Speaker 2: the eye with a bit of salt from the popcorn
Speaker 2: and then they're suing, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Or someone eating it and choking.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's just far too many risks.
Speaker 5: Do you know that my cats eat popcorn?
Speaker 2: Do they?
Speaker 5: I just throw it and they go chase it and
Speaker 5: eat it.
Speaker 2: Isn't that funny?
Speaker 1: Are you worried it's going to get stuck in their throat?
Speaker 2: No, they love it. See, popcorn, every single time I
Speaker 2: eat it, gets stuck in my throat.
Speaker 1: Mine gets stuck in my teeth. And I love popcorn.
Speaker 2: It's actually, it could be my favourite food. Really? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Of all time.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: In like snacky, snacky food, I think popcorn's number one.
Speaker 3: Shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so yummy. I could eat it all day.
Speaker 1: I do love it when it's like this extra buttery one.
Speaker 2: Oh, I feel like an asshole now because I'm reading
Speaker 2: all the comments and everyone's just like saying what a
Speaker 2: waste it is. And there are people starving and blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2: And like, it's such a waste of food. It is.
Speaker 2: And that didn't even come to mind. I went, look
Speaker 2: at these people having joy. And I was like, this
Speaker 2: is just so crazy and amazing. And now that I'm
Speaker 2: reading all of the comments, like everyone is like, this
Speaker 2: is not okay. And I guess that's a perfect summary
Speaker 2: of the internet these days. But then I have a
Speaker 2: conflict with myself and I go, well, Do I stick
Speaker 2: to my guns and feel the way about the video
Speaker 2: I originally felt? Or do I let the comments change
Speaker 2: my mind? And now I'm going, yeah, that is a
Speaker 2: waste of food. And that is a disappointing thing to see.
Speaker 2: Even though when I first saw it, I went, wow,
Speaker 2: look at all these people having the time of their lives.
Speaker 2: It brought me joy.
Speaker 1: That's like what I said.
Speaker 3: I see both sides from the very get go. I
Speaker 3: see people having joy and it's fun and wholesome. But
Speaker 3: then I see like the waste, the mess. And then
Speaker 3: I worry about also the animals.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But then I'm wondering whether like that, like, like
Speaker 2: just as someone who, Is... Watching... do I stick with
Speaker 2: what I originally felt about it or am I going
Speaker 2: to let the comments change my mind?
Speaker 1: Well, this is a really good conversation.
Speaker 2: I know, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Because it's like you can so easily be.
Speaker 2: Influenced by the comments. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Whereas imagine if no one was ever influenced by comments
Speaker 3: and we only ever stuck to our own views.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 5: What about the tomato throwing thing in Spain?
Speaker 1: It's true, that's a similar thing.
Speaker 4: No one ever says anything about that and they're wasting tomatoes,
Speaker 4: but that's a cultural thing.
Speaker 5: So like, what's the difference there? Do you know what
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of anything worse than being had tomatoes
Speaker 1: thrown at me.
Speaker 2: I know, I hate tomatoes. But yeah, but then if
Speaker 2: you don't acknowledge the comments and change your mind and
Speaker 2: think about that, then are you being ignorant and stubborn? Potentially, yes.
Speaker 2: Because you just want to.
Speaker 1: It's a good conversation.
Speaker 2: It is a good conversation. I'm glad we're having it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the point is, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just an... observation that I saw.
Speaker 1: Well, I've got something like a.
Speaker 2: I've said my word, by the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you catch it? I didn't. What the heck? You're
Speaker 2: not even paying attention.
Speaker 5: I'm not on my meds.
Speaker 1: Well, can we say what it is now? Because we
Speaker 1: both said it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: My.
Speaker 2: But also. You've got to guess. No, well, I don't
Speaker 2: remember what hers was, but I'm pretty sure the point
Speaker 2: of Segway Olympics is to Segway into a topic about
Speaker 2: that word. Like you can't just like say the word
Speaker 2: you've got to tie it in.
Speaker 1: Well, I said mine. It was charisma. Oh, okay. And
Speaker 1: I said that Allie Kate had this star quality charisma
Speaker 1: about her.
Speaker 2: I thought that you gave me charisma one time. Like
Speaker 2: I feel like.
Speaker 1: What was your word?
Speaker 2: Elephant.
Speaker 1: Oh, and what'd you say?
Speaker 2: Address the elephant in the room.
Speaker 1: And what was the elephant?
Speaker 2: The elephant in the room was the smell. of the popcorn. But, um,
Speaker 2: the thing about Segway Olympics is I think we need
Speaker 2: to transition into it. And I was going to try
Speaker 2: and do it, but I thought, nah, it's like too obvious, but.
Speaker 1: Like a conversation. Then we need to have a conversation
Speaker 1: about elephants.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: But I think it becomes so obvious.
Speaker 2: I know, but you know.
Speaker 1: We can try it that way next time.
Speaker 2: Try it next time.
Speaker 1: Well, that's another episode done and dusted. And now I
Speaker 1: feel like popcorn.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yum. Do you want to, Because you can get it, like,
Speaker 2: I think from Hoyts on Uber Eats or something.
Speaker 1: The movies are so far from here.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.

Speaker 3: a certain point.

Speaker 2: Because I cannot believe I spoiled that. And I am
Speaker 2: absolutely mortified. And I'm really kicking myself. I can't believe
Speaker 2: that happened. And I kind of wish we got it
Speaker 2: on camera.
Speaker 5: It's actually the funniest thing because you were looking at
Speaker 5: yourself in the mirror.
Speaker 2: And I was just like so distracted. And I was like,
Speaker 2: I've got to think of a question about it. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my God. And it was one
Speaker 2: of those things where you say it and you're like,
Speaker 2: hopefully no one heard, but everyone bloody heard. So not good. Anyway, dolls,
