Speaker 1: and just just go back a little bit. I'll just
Speaker 1: turn the camera around and you just go back and
Speaker 1: give everyone a big shot of what's happening here. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: I've knocked the laptop. Hello, it's just panned to the audience.
Speaker 1: We've got such a big audience here today, a lot
Speaker 1: of people in the room.
Speaker 2: We're in the past.
Speaker 1: It's all happening so April. Maybe if there's any questions,
Speaker 1: you could just ask us, but vet them first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure the appropriate Oh that's good.
Speaker 1: Most unhinged moment of Scrollers this year.
Speaker 2: Umm, I don't know. It's hard to think of these
Speaker 2: on the spot.
Speaker 1: Also hard to know what happened this year and last
Speaker 1: year as well. Yeah, because I get all that.
Speaker 2: And do you know what our most unhinged moment was?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, yes, after the TikTok Awards.
Speaker 3: He came in with his sonnies On and was not okay,
Speaker 3: Like I went to get I had to pick you
Speaker 3: up in the elevator and I came in the elevator
Speaker 3: and you were just not okay, Like from the moment
Speaker 3: I saw you, you were just like hello. And then
Speaker 3: probably the other really funny moment from this year was
Speaker 3: when we dressed up as each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was unhinged. Yeah, the the episodes
Speaker 1: that we filmed after the TikTok Awards, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's like a few of them are coming out over
Speaker 1: our Christmas New Year break. There's some of the pre
Speaker 1: recorded ones, and I think you'll be able to tell
Speaker 1: because I hardly say a word. I was just trying
Speaker 1: to get through it, and I was like, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to take one for the team here, and I
Speaker 1: was messaging you before it.
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, it's all right, I've got this.
Speaker 3: I was like not hungover in the slightest. I had
Speaker 3: like one one drink at the TikTok Awards. Someone also
Speaker 3: said the one where that was high on drugs.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well that was a good episode.
Speaker 1: The pain Killers. That was a fun episode after the
Speaker 1: Gaulstone attack.
Speaker 2: Yes, have we got any other questions? April pet peeve
Speaker 2: about each other?
Speaker 1: Pet peeve about each other?
Speaker 2: We need to do that trend. We listen and.
Speaker 1: We okay, let's do okay go then we listen and
Speaker 1: which I feel like is me out all times anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm always listening and not judging. Actually, well you know
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I get to do this trend with AJ, but we
Speaker 3: genuinely like don't have anything that we like hide from
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel the same could be said about us.
Speaker 1: You don't really have any pet peeves when it comes
Speaker 1: to you or recording the podcast. I'm sure you've got
Speaker 1: plenty about it.
Speaker 3: I think the only one for me is like when
Speaker 3: you're really tired and then I get mad, we listen
Speaker 3: and we don't we don't judge.
Speaker 1: The only pet peeve is that I have is your
Speaker 1: mind sometimes goes one hundred miles an hour and I'll
Speaker 1: be halfway through, like getting to a point, and then
Speaker 1: you just take the convert station and I'm like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: can we just get back here for a second, But
Speaker 1: then by the time we get back there, you've already
Speaker 1: gone over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's me.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm saying the same thing forty times
Speaker 1: to get to the fucking point. But it's also that's
Speaker 1: what makes the podcast good is we go on so
Speaker 1: many tangents, so it's like, not really a pet peeve,
Speaker 1: but that's the only thing. I'm like, that's about. Okay,
Speaker 1: we've got to talk about the fucking toothbrush before we
Speaker 1: get back to what we were talking about before, But yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be it.
Speaker 2: Any other questions apes where did you meet?
Speaker 1: Already back to your.
Speaker 3: First episode of high scrollers. Is it the first one?
Speaker 3: I think it is.
Speaker 1: We've explained it back to the first one.
Speaker 3: And you will know how we met. It's a good story,
Speaker 3: but we've told it already. Any other questions April.
Speaker 1: To the sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're nearly done, so we have another.
Speaker 1: Oh what's happened here? I was watching that. Oh that's
Speaker 1: the time. I was seeing how much time we had
Speaker 1: left on this episode.
Speaker 2: You can come to the park if you know where
Speaker 2: we are, but we're nearly done. What was your top
Speaker 2: song on Spotify rapped?
Speaker 1: Oh, let's talk about how Spotify raps? Actually, oh, that's
Speaker 1: my phone though, because.
Speaker 3: You would know yours off the top of my number
Speaker 3: one artist? Do you want to know who?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 3: And it's like surprising okay, Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah? But I think because we.
Speaker 3: Went to the aerostour and then the whole way home,
Speaker 3: I listened and then I went through. But anyway, we
Speaker 3: can review mine, okay, because I feel like I'll tell
Speaker 3: you what I hate that you have to watch the
Speaker 3: whole slide to get to the end bit that tells.
Speaker 1: You the But then if you just go to the end, oh,
Speaker 1: there's all the details.
Speaker 3: Okay, So top artist for me Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande,
Speaker 3: Charlie x Ex, Jimmy Sacks, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 1: Who's Jimmy Sacks.
Speaker 2: I love Jimmy Sacks.
Speaker 3: It's like saxophone, like I beat the day club music.
Speaker 1: Mister Sexel be me that guy. Oh yeah, you do
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 2: I remember one time music No.
Speaker 1: One time we were like going out somewhere in Newcastle.
Speaker 1: I think we're in a Honeysuckle hotel and you went,
Speaker 1: I've got this great plan last, so I'm going to
Speaker 1: put on and then it was like just saxophone solo
Speaker 1: for like forty five minutes, and I.
Speaker 3: Like saxophone house music, like vibes like you're at a
Speaker 3: day club at six.
Speaker 2: Pm, the sun's kind of going down, you've had ten cocktails.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I were wearing fucking Newcastle, not Ibitha, so it's
Speaker 1: not giving me the bar dream.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you want to know what my top song
Speaker 2: over the year was?
Speaker 3: Yes, because I went through a phase and I was
Speaker 3: obsessed and it's so random.
Speaker 2: Willow By telling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said after the concert, you were like, that's
Speaker 1: my favorite song, that's.
Speaker 2: My favorite song. What's one of your Girls.
Speaker 1: Is that Troy Savann?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did go through an obsession with that
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then we Can't be Friends on a Grande
Speaker 3: and then by Ariana Grande yea ba Yeah, but I
Speaker 3: can't see what the rest of the other one.
Speaker 2: Is right where you left me Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's probably the song that's after Willow. Yeah, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying that, like I didn't listen to like them that much?
Speaker 1: How many listens? How many minutes? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Fifty?
Speaker 1: That's more than me? Was it thirty five? Do you
Speaker 1: play it at work though?
Speaker 2: Like it's due to No, it's not usually mine, but
Speaker 2: I guess a lot of driving. Yeah, when I drive
Speaker 2: in Sydney, I play music the whole time.
Speaker 3: And sometimes the music is just like on in the
Speaker 3: house or on on my desktop computer.
Speaker 2: I just let it play. And do you know something
Speaker 2: funny about AJ that I just discovered because of Spotify wrapped?
Speaker 3: He plays the same playlist every time, never on shuffle, so.
Speaker 2: His number one song is like the first song in
Speaker 2: that playlist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same though, Oh I shuffle every time.
Speaker 3: I can't stand like knowing what songs to come next
Speaker 3: and being so familiar with it.
Speaker 1: Have you ever shuffled and it's the same shuffling all
Speaker 1: the time, because I've done that where I press shuffle
Speaker 1: or press on the playlist shuffle, but it's the same
Speaker 1: order as like the last time I did that. But
Speaker 1: now I curate my playlists so that it's in a
Speaker 1: way that like, it's in the order that I want
Speaker 1: to listen to.
Speaker 3: I saw a TikTok the other day and someone said
Speaker 3: that their friend doesn't have categorized playlists. They just have
Speaker 3: one big playlist of all their favorite songs. That's my sister,
Speaker 3: and it's five thousand songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just likes it's just liked songs. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't think of anything worse.
Speaker 3: Anyway, shout out to Jimmy Sacks. Okay, if you ever
Speaker 3: just like want to have some afternoon drinks. It's a
Speaker 3: hot summer day, play Jimmy Sacks.
Speaker 1: See, I'm into the low fire beats. So the other
Speaker 1: day I was by the pool and I put my

Speaker 1: been answering any questions.
Speaker 3: Sorry, is anyone asking anything or they just listening some
Speaker 3: blink once of your.

Speaker 1: Are there any other Are there any other questions? She's
Speaker 1: had them for a seconds? Okay, yeah, sor we did
Speaker 1: have it on?
Speaker 2: Is there any other questions? By the way falling off,
Speaker 2: I forgot that we were alive.
Speaker 1: Any other questions, ask questions anyway? I'm really look, there's
Speaker 1: a perfect example of going off track. But I was
Speaker 1: going to Sorry, I'm really into the low fire beats
Speaker 1: at the moment. Some are low fire beats, So that's
Speaker 1: my recommendation for that. The saxophone Jimmy Sacks. One more question,
Speaker 1: last one April juiciest one you can see no One.

Speaker 2: One regret from twenty twenty four. One regret from twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we actually answer that question, but
Speaker 1: we do have some episodes coming up that cover that
Speaker 1: sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Any regrets from twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I regret not going to more Taylor Swift shows, so ivey,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have my time over. I'd got everything,
Speaker 1: you know. I actually no, I don't regret not going more.
Speaker 1: I regret not buying a more expensive ticket. I remember
Speaker 1: when the VIP tickets.
Speaker 3: Came out quite far away, weren't we Like I couldn't
Speaker 3: see her. I was watching the big screen the whole time.
Speaker 1: But we're in the first like tear of the stadium.
Speaker 2: Imagine being a bad vision.
Speaker 1: Maybe I couldn't see her.
Speaker 2: She was blurry to me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would say that like buying, especially after
Speaker 1: my Kylie Minogue debarcle and seeing you know, and so
Speaker 1: looking forward to that in twenty twenty five. But I
Speaker 1: think if I could go back, I would buy a
Speaker 1: better ticket for Taylor Swift and try and get one
Speaker 1: of those VIP packages right up the front, because I mean,
Speaker 1: loved it, so grateful to be there. How much better
Speaker 1: would it have been if we were up the front?
Speaker 1: It would have I can't believe we're gonna sit front
Speaker 1: right at Carlo Mi and Oak, like you don't understand.
Speaker 2: Also, did you see her in the Charlotte Tilbree campaign?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Stunning, She's gorgeous.
Speaker 3: That is so random's Kyli of an Oak modeling for
Speaker 3: Charlotte Deilbury.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought just perfect. It's because you know,
Speaker 1: the makeup works on skin of all ages.
Speaker 2: Very true.
Speaker 1: You know, I will say as well, let me here's
Speaker 1: my rant of the week, because I didn't actually do
Speaker 1: it in the main episode. So obviously new house, we've
Speaker 1: got a few more bedrooms we've got we have a
Speaker 1: guest room, so we're going to put our bed that
Speaker 1: we had in the guest room and we're going to
Speaker 1: buy a bed for our bedroom. And I bought the bed.
Speaker 1: Tell me why it's going to take eleven to twelve weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, furniture wait times.
Speaker 1: Are crazy, eleven to twelve weeks. I'm just letting you
Speaker 1: know so you can put it into context. I will
Speaker 1: have gone around the country with Kyler Minoak and the bed,
Speaker 1: like the bed still won't even have come and Kyler
Speaker 1: Minoau will have haven. So so when you're listening in
Speaker 1: a few months to the podcast and you hear us
Speaker 1: talk about our carl Meno experience in the first week

Speaker 1: a podcast. Why do you all listen?
Speaker 2: Can you be all right?

Speaker 2: And instead it's just been off right.
Speaker 1: I've been fucking shit. But anyway, you've all listened this fast.
Speaker 3: I don't recognize our shittest episode. Maybe we should ask

Speaker 3: of the year, and ask our scrollers to roaster.
Speaker 1: The most boring episode?
Speaker 2: Shall we? None of them are boring?
