Transcript

Bro, I see that Katy Perry dropped a new album. Yeah, bro. Probably not Michaela Fisch. Wouldn't be Mark Uppetee. Hey, guys. Holy fuck. It's Katy Perry. Hey, Katy Perry. Hi. I'm Nick. I've been in love with you. Hi. Hey. I'm Dave. Also very in love with you. Stop. Stop, dude. I was in love with the first. You gotta chill. What are you talking about? I've been in love with Teddy Bear since day one. Oh, shit. That's cap. Wait. Hold on. Are you guys, like, legit rank? Or Yellow fans. A 100% true fans. How? Your music saved me. When I felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again. And you saved me when I heard hot and cold for the first time on MasterChef Australia. It used to be. They replaced it. What? What? I don't know. That's bullshit. It's fine. Fuck them. I have a feeling you guys aren't really fans. Hey. We've been fans for so long. So long. Prove it. I could get your heart racing in my skin tight jeans. Be a teenage dream tonight. Stop and pick me, boy. Let you get your eyes on me in my skin tight jeans. Be a teenage dream tonight. You no know. She's leaving. Maybe Katy Perry doesn't want us to fight. She wants us to come together. No. Hold on. Better next time I hear you talk shit, you're gonna get hit. Yes, miss Perry. Yes, miss Perry. Toodles. That one was good. That was the one.
