Speaker 1: High Scrollers is produced on gadigul Land.

Speaker 2: I've got a good array, don't I mm hm. So
Speaker 2: I panicked because my sister, when she came over for
Speaker 2: the first time, she said, do I have any Do
Speaker 2: you have any snacks? And I thought, fucking hell, no,
Speaker 2: I don't. Actually, I've got nothing to give you.
Speaker 1: I don't have a snack drawl. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: get one.
Speaker 2: Oh it's brilliant, And you know what, now that I'm
Speaker 2: used to it, I don't often pick from it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The problem, Yeah, the problem was at first I was
Speaker 2: in there every fucking day, haven't you? And twists and
Speaker 2: snacker you know what I'm loving at the moment. Mini
Speaker 2: Scotch fingers in the bags.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yum. I love the mini Scotch fingers with
Speaker 1: the chocolate on it on the bottom.
Speaker 2: Shit girls.
Speaker 1: And I saw Ames on the Weekend doing the rice
Speaker 1: cake with chocolate and sprinkles.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting. I saw a video from Ames on the
Speaker 2: Weekend doing jats and chocolate and sprinkle.
Speaker 1: Yum, yum yum. I thought it was salt and sweet yum.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess so, yeah, I went, that's bizarre, babe.
Speaker 2: But yeah, which also, bizarre is my new word. Everywhere
Speaker 2: I'm letting you know, bizarre. I just can't stop saying that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go for it. I keep saying bizarre, and then if
Speaker 2: you want to really camp it up, you go. Fuck darls,
Speaker 2: your harp is bizarre. It's real fun. So try and
Speaker 2: make bizarre go off? How bizarre? How bizar? Anyway, you
Speaker 2: know what was fucking bizarre, Katie Perry. That's what we haven't.
Speaker 1: Spoke about it. We were meant to do a quick whip,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we didn't, so consider this to be close
Speaker 1: friends slash quick whip of our thoughts on the Katy
Speaker 1: Perry concept. I did do like a little recap on
Speaker 1: my story, but I feel like, there's a lot more
Speaker 1: that I have to say.
Speaker 2: Really I missed that. Yeah, yeah, Because obviously this Katy
Speaker 2: Perry tour, the Lifetime's Tour, it has been a very
Speaker 2: big topic on the Internet. A lot of people have
Speaker 2: been shitting on her basically for this absolute mess of
Speaker 2: a tour. The Internet's words, not mine. But you know,
Speaker 2: you've probably seen the videos of her doing questionable dance
Speaker 2: moves flying around the Bloody Arena.
Speaker 1: I will say it is a mess, like the the
Speaker 1: show is a mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred. It was bizarre, it looks.
Speaker 1: But we'll go through the whole thing. But to like
Speaker 1: put it in a nutshell what I said on my story.
Speaker 1: First of all, I was shocked by how many kids
Speaker 1: were there. Like I knew she had younger fans, but
Speaker 1: in my mind, I thought the kid fans that grew
Speaker 1: up listening to her would have grown up by now.
Speaker 1: The same way. How when I started YouTube, I had
Speaker 1: little teeny bopper fans. Now they're in their twenties and
Speaker 1: they still follow me. But it's like Katie Perry's fans
Speaker 1: from you know, fifteen years ago have grown up, had
Speaker 1: their own kids, and then now those kids are fans
Speaker 1: of Katie Perry because it it was a kid's concert, Like,
Speaker 1: I want to say what eighty percent of the audience
Speaker 1: was kids, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Like and little little like seventy seven.
Speaker 1: Six five yeah, like dressed in princess glitter touto and.
Speaker 2: On a school night too, which was bizarre.
Speaker 1: And like, I get her songs a catchy, but like,
Speaker 1: also a heap of her songs are very like sexual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think they're they're too young. Well I
Speaker 2: think it all goes over their heads, surely, but I
Speaker 2: think they're sexual in a way that it's like such
Speaker 2: an innuendo that you can't put it together, Like you
Speaker 2: know the line I only just as a thirty year
Speaker 2: old found out that the line where the grass is
Speaker 2: really greener is talking about marijuana. Oh in California, California
Speaker 2: girls where the glass is really guena. Well apparently that
Speaker 2: means which is why she can never sing it live.
Speaker 2: If you notice she goes sing it and then the
Speaker 2: crowd sings it because she's not allowed to promote marijuana.
Speaker 2: So which is marijuana?
Speaker 1: Weird?
Speaker 2: Should I be saying weird? Sorry? Not a drug? Ee?
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I don't know what the kids
Speaker 2: are saying these days, don't know the correct lingo on
Speaker 2: the drugs, but yeah.
Speaker 1: There you go. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think her A lot of her songs
Speaker 2: are like fine, I mean, peacock is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Well that's what we were. That's what I talked about
Speaker 1: on my story. So the thing I think, the thing
Speaker 1: that I did like about the concert was she spoke
Speaker 1: a lot, and it all seemed very like just off
Speaker 1: the cuff and unscripted, like when we went and saw
Speaker 1: the Ears tour. She's like, thank you so much, Sidney,
Speaker 1: I love you so much. I wrote this song for you.
Speaker 1: And then she goes in and it feels like so scripted,
Speaker 1: like when Taylor would talk on stage.
Speaker 2: She said that, you know, she said the same thing everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that just feels lame to me.
Speaker 2: I know, but in her defense, she was because I
Speaker 2: felt the same way. It was very much like watching
Speaker 2: a theater show. However, a tour of that magnitude, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you've got.
Speaker 1: It to stick to the script, whereas like Katie, the songs
Speaker 1: would stop and then she'd just be like who catching
Speaker 1: her breath and then she would just go on a
Speaker 1: tangent yeah, like us Yeah, she would go on a
Speaker 1: tangent and just be talking and like interacting with the Crown,
Speaker 1: and you could tell that she was just like being herself,
Speaker 1: and that's one thing that I really liked. And she
Speaker 1: just didn't seem to care, like it was all a
Speaker 1: bit unseerious, and I honestly feel like she's forty, and
Speaker 1: she kept going, I'm forty, Like I think she's just
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where she's been around for so
Speaker 1: long and she's done all the crazy big things. Now
Speaker 1: she's just kind of like fuck it. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think with this tour, that's what we're seeing is her
Speaker 1: just being like fuck it, you know, like I'm forty.
Speaker 1: She kept talking about the fact that she has her
Speaker 1: daughter who's like five. She kept bringing that up, And
Speaker 1: I liked the realness of it because when you think
Speaker 1: of celebrities like Katie Perry or whatever, like you think
Speaker 1: of them in a certain way. But then to just
Speaker 1: see her just being herself, being goofy, being silly, having
Speaker 1: a joke, talking about all sorts of stuff, like, I
Speaker 1: felt like that made it seem like really human and
Speaker 1: down to earth, which I liked. So I liked that
Speaker 1: part of it. Where do we fucking begin?
Speaker 2: Okay, So first of all, this was the concept of
Speaker 2: the show. So the concept of the show is it's
Speaker 2: like twenty fifty or something fifty. It's like twenty years
Speaker 2: in the future, which isn't that far away, but anyway, basically,
Speaker 2: it's like a post apocalyptic world and all the butterflies
Speaker 2: in the world, who are the heart and soul of
Speaker 2: the ecosystem, have been trapped away somewhere, I think, harvesting
Speaker 2: their energy to like power the world or something.
Speaker 1: The world is very like AI.
Speaker 2: Yes, everything's AI, and so Katie Perry is like called
Speaker 2: upon as like a superhero to release the butterflies, and
Speaker 2: to do that she needs to collect these hearts. And
Speaker 2: the whole thing is like a game, like a like
Speaker 2: a video like.
Speaker 1: An Arcade video game, and so that's what plays on
Speaker 1: the screen like at the very beginning and throughout, and
Speaker 1: she collects hearts throughout the show.
Speaker 2: Which I didn't understand till halfway through because the heart's
Speaker 2: kept flying down from the roof and all that she.
Speaker 1: Was like collecting the hearts in the game and then.
Speaker 2: Collecting all made sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found that whole thing, Like all the graphics
Speaker 1: and visuals like it felt like it was put together
Speaker 1: very quickly.
Speaker 2: And I think it was.
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 2: I think it was. Let me tell you, I have
Speaker 2: a theory here and I also have I have a
Speaker 2: little bit of insider tea on.
Speaker 1: This and just to give you all, like a visual
Speaker 1: like this was what played on the screens, like all
Speaker 1: the big TV screens, like before she came on and
Speaker 1: as she did costume changes and for a visual it
Speaker 1: was a cartoon and it was AI generated cartoon. You
Speaker 1: could tell because even Katie was in it, but it
Speaker 1: almost looked like her. But you know when Ai is
Speaker 1: just slightly off.
Speaker 2: And her voice, yeah, was slightly off as well.
Speaker 1: And it was all like it was just Ai to
Speaker 1: the extreme.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Just quickly on a tangent, have you seen TikTok's
Speaker 2: new Ai voice feature? Have you used it? No? Goal,
Speaker 2: It is scary. It was scary.
Speaker 1: Can it be your voice?
Speaker 2: It can be your voice? And let me I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go on my TikTok right now and I'm going to
Speaker 2: give you all an example.
Speaker 1: Does everyone have it?
Speaker 2: Well, you give me a sentence that you'd like me
Speaker 2: to say that you'd like me to get it to say?
Speaker 1: Ool?
Speaker 2: Sorry, give me a sentence that you want you want
Speaker 2: the AI to say and make it PG. Please.
Speaker 1: I am wearing a blue tracksuit set today and I
Speaker 1: have had four shots of coffee.
Speaker 2: And I have had four shots of coffee.
Speaker 1: So what you use is for a voice over on
Speaker 1: a blog?
Speaker 2: Yeah, text to speech. I am wearing a blue track
Speaker 2: suit set today and I have had four shots of coffee.
Speaker 1: That is pretty accurate. Do you have to talk into it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Where do I find? So? Where do I set it up?
Speaker 1: Because I want to do one?
Speaker 2: Okay? So go plus?
Speaker 1: Oh the way, did you like my Barada video?
Speaker 2: Press the plus at the bottom? Okay, and then just
Speaker 2: take a photo and then just type whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Just say hello for now so we can set it up.
Speaker 1: Hello, my name is Brittany.
Speaker 2: And then if you click that now and say text
Speaker 2: to speech, and then at the top it will.
Speaker 1: Say create your own AI voice okay.
Speaker 2: And then I'll ask you to say a sentence of
Speaker 2: some sort.
Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, here TikTok voice library terms. It's making me
Speaker 1: read terms and conditions.
Speaker 2: Oh, it actually didn't do that for me, and.
Speaker 1: It's only about three scrolls long. Agree, Okay, record yourself
Speaker 1: reading the following lines tap to start recording. How did
Speaker 1: your presentation go today? I know you were nervous about
Speaker 1: it earlier. I'm sure it was great. Okay, I've recorded that.
Speaker 1: It's processing. You have to put my phone on loud
Speaker 1: so everyone can hear it. Sorry, if I get messages.
Speaker 2: You couldn't have made that shit.
Speaker 1: This is your AI voice speaking. Try it out in
Speaker 1: your videos now, okay, now let's try it. Let me
Speaker 1: just quickly write this. Hello, what do you want my
Speaker 1: AI voice to say?
Speaker 2: And I look like bananas in pajamas.
Speaker 1: Hello, my name is Brittany.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm scared.
Speaker 1: Sorry. Hello, my name is Brittany and I look like
Speaker 1: bananas in pajamas. That is so the hello was weird?
Speaker 2: He I did notice when you recorded your voice it
Speaker 2: wasn't me natural.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my phone on silent. I have to
Speaker 1: have my phone on silent for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no fair. So anyway, that's scary. A Like, that's
Speaker 2: so scary because we could make it say anything, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. You could get canceled then, oh
Speaker 2: my god, yeah, you could get canceled for saying whatever.
Speaker 1: Set it up on their account. And he's one of
Speaker 1: my videos to reset it up.
Speaker 2: Yes, although you have to read one of the you
Speaker 2: have to read the sentence.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2: So that's all right then probably why yeah, there you
Speaker 2: go anyway.
Speaker 1: I yeah, what was I saying to Katie Perry? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I have some inside of knowledge from
Speaker 2: someone who knows, someone who worked on the tour, but
Speaker 2: I mean unconfirmed, unconfirmed who knows. I don't want to
Speaker 2: get sued. But apparently her tour was actually meant to
Speaker 2: be completely different until about five or six days from
Speaker 2: the start of the tour, which is when she then
Speaker 2: went to space, or maybe she went to space like
Speaker 2: two weeks before the tour kicked off, and they actually
Speaker 2: knew obviously they knew she was going to space well
Speaker 2: in advance, and so they apparently apparently apparently the tour
Speaker 2: was actually meant to be space themed and all about
Speaker 2: going to space and all about different lifetimes.
Speaker 1: Well, I know that she made a joke about going
Speaker 1: to space when she was on the stage, but like
Speaker 1: making fun of herself. She said, don't do that because
Speaker 1: you'll become crazy and go to space. Did you hear
Speaker 1: her say that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I think to from my understanding, the tour
Speaker 2: was actually meant to be space themed, and then because
Speaker 2: of the backlash from her going to space and how
Speaker 2: horribly that landed across the world and all of the
Speaker 2: memes that came out about her online and all the
Speaker 2: rest of it, apparently apparently every time I say, apparently,
Speaker 2: I just wait for you to come. But yeah, apparently
Speaker 2: they did a whole restructure of the whole thing, and
Speaker 2: certain elements you could tell that certain elements were still there,
Speaker 2: like for example, the woman's well bit where the woman
Speaker 2: had the big because I'm pretty sure the whole thing
Speaker 2: was they were going to different planets, so now they
Speaker 2: were going a different party, had a video.
Speaker 1: Game, a big universe, like she didn't you have a
Speaker 1: world or globe in her hand?
Speaker 2: Yeah, or a planet yeah, and she was spinning at
Speaker 2: it and stuff. Yeah, So the space themed kind of continued,
Speaker 2: and like you know, the staging and everything kind of
Speaker 2: it's still worked with all of that. But I do
Speaker 2: actually think that the AI generated stuff was made in
Speaker 2: a matter of days, And if you think about it
Speaker 2: changing into it like that, would it would be easy,
Speaker 2: I want to say, I mean, and it would be
Speaker 2: hard work, but it would be kind of easy. Because
Speaker 2: you'd have the bones of it exactly the same. I mean,
Speaker 2: all the dance moves stay the same if you think
Speaker 2: about it. Their costumes were very space and could have
Speaker 2: been out of space. Her costumes not so much, but
Speaker 2: I reckon the costumes could have been changed last minute.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I could see how it would be. And
Speaker 2: obviously the floating flying around the room so much, like
Speaker 2: that's obviously zero gravity vibes. Yes, So yeah, I kind
Speaker 2: of like could see and I was looking out for
Speaker 2: that with that prior knowledge, I was like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: can see how this was a different show, and then
Speaker 2: because of the backlash from going to Space, it was
Speaker 2: changed so so quickly. I will say that I've seen
Speaker 2: Katie Perry many times, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: a hater and I don't want a dog pile, but
Speaker 2: what the fuck was that? Like I left and went,
Speaker 2: that was fucked. Yeah, Like I wouldn't just like say
Speaker 2: that and jump on board what everyone else is saying.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm the first person to defend someone
Speaker 2: when I disagree with what everyone else is saying. But
Speaker 2: I will say, like, I think the online commentary is warranted,
Speaker 2: Like I went, I've seen her a few times before,
Speaker 2: and I went this is.
Speaker 1: It also just seemed very low budget.
Speaker 2: Like low budget.
Speaker 1: Like it was like obviously in a way smaller stadium
Speaker 1: than the Ears tour, so you can't compare, but it
Speaker 1: just seemed low budget. All the props seemed low budget.
Speaker 2: And I also thought that she what's the word, like
Speaker 2: she was just a little cringe. She was a bit
Speaker 2: boomer energy for me, like she was a bit of
Speaker 2: a boomer up there, and she'd say things like she'd
Speaker 2: be like, this song goes out to anyone who's ever
Speaker 2: been bullied on social media, and then she'd be like
Speaker 2: she'd sing a song that had nothing to do with
Speaker 2: like bully.
Speaker 1: Just a bit all over the shop. And there were
Speaker 1: some bits which I was like, I would turn to
Speaker 1: Cane like this bit is good, Like yeah, there were
Speaker 1: parts that felt like a would put together concert, like
Speaker 1: where the costumes were amazing, the dancers, like the dancers
Speaker 1: are really good, Yeah, given that, But there were some
Speaker 1: bits where it all was working together and I was like,
Speaker 1: this feels like a good concert at this moment. But
Speaker 1: then it would just go in a completely other direction,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I also wonder what the artistic choice was of using
Speaker 2: all male dancers, because I felt that was quite strange
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five and the band, I mean half
Speaker 2: the band were female, half the band were male. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I thought it was interesting that she's singing It's
Speaker 2: a woman's one and you're like Elena and.
Speaker 1: She's dancing with men.
Speaker 2: I was looking at the stage, going, you're the only
Speaker 2: female on stage right now. Yeah, And I didn't know
Speaker 2: whether what kind of artistic choice that was. Again, maybe
Speaker 2: with the space thing, it was like, you know, the
Speaker 2: whole thing was that the females. It was an all
Speaker 2: female crew who went to space. Maybe it was symbolic
Speaker 2: of like her being the only one that ever actually
Speaker 2: got to space, or they were all alien and she wasn't.
Speaker 2: Who knows, but I thought that was interesting that in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five all of your dancers are men that way.
Speaker 1: I did notice that too.
Speaker 2: That was interesting, And I just felt that it just
Speaker 2: didn't hit the things that I.
Speaker 1: Don't get, like with the concert, like if you're going
Speaker 1: to go on tour, like why would you do it
Speaker 1: like like kind of half fast or like low budget,
Speaker 1: or like why would she do it like to make money?
Speaker 1: But then I'm like again in my mind, I think,
Speaker 1: like these celebrities have all the money, like why do
Speaker 1: they need to make more?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I do want to say as well, I
Speaker 2: enjoyed myself and had a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: There was at no point though, where I wanted to
Speaker 2: get up and dance. I got up and danced in
Speaker 2: the very last song because I was like, I better
Speaker 2: because I haven't danced at all. Like it was a
Speaker 2: bit clunky. She'd kind of like get to a good
Speaker 2: bit and you'd go, here we go, and then it
Speaker 2: would drop off again and we'd be back to like
Speaker 2: we cringey awkward energy. It was a little awkward. It
Speaker 2: was a bit and I remember seeing her at the
Speaker 2: Witness tour and she was visibly like pissed off at
Speaker 2: the crowd. I remember actually talking about that on my
Speaker 2: old podcast. I remember like we went and then she
Speaker 2: was visibly like pissed off with the crowd. This time,
Speaker 2: I will say she was having the time of her life.
Speaker 2: I could tell she was having.
Speaker 1: The time of her fucking life, which was nice.
Speaker 2: And that's all about it. At the end of the day. Yes,
Speaker 2: and I had a good time as well. I'm very
Speaker 2: glad I went. I love her. I have loved her
Speaker 2: for a long time, and I'm glad that I went.
Speaker 2: And I think I'll always got to all Katy Perry
Speaker 2: concert because I missed that first one. Never went to
Speaker 2: that first one, which looked fucking great at Newcastle Entertainment Center.
Speaker 2: She actually did that one, the Teenage dream Tour whatever
Speaker 2: it was called California Dreams Tour, that was a Newcastle
Speaker 2: Entertainment Center and I didn't go, And I'm still sad
Speaker 2: about it because it definitely was her best and one
Speaker 2: of her best. It's up there on the same realm
Speaker 2: as Afrodie, if you know, you know, anyway, I could
Speaker 2: talk about it forever, but basically, Katie Perry, it was good.
Speaker 2: I had fun. But I do think that the online
Speaker 2: commentary around it is warranted. Unfortunately, that's just my opinion.
Speaker 2: I think it is cringe. It is a bit lame,
Speaker 2: It was a bit of a mess, and it was
Speaker 2: giving Boomera energy at times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 2: See you next Tuesday.
