# Spotify = Your Strain — Scripts

> Five music-matching episodes pairing listening taste to a strain and its AI-generated soundtrack. Script IDs SPT-001 through SPT-005.

<Note>
  Show concept: [Spotify = Your Strain](/social/shows/spotify-equals-strain). Character and shot rules: [Production Spec](/social/scripts/production-spec). Numbers: [Verified Data Sheet](/social/scripts/verified-data).
</Note>

<Note>
  **Every episode ends on the catchphrase.** *"This is why I'm high."* The line is the domain, so the sign-off does the funnel work with no "link in bio." Delivered flat and sincere, never explained, never in the first three seconds. See [The Funnel](/social/funnel#the-sign-off).
</Note>

## Pack Summary

| ID        | Episode                        | Runtime | Register | Test Variable                          |
| --------- | ------------------------------ | ------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `SPT-001` | The psych-pop stack            | 40s     | Mixed    | Baseline for the show                  |
| `SPT-002` | The hip-hop stack              | 40s     | Mixed    | Genre swap, format held constant       |
| `SPT-003` | Country breaks the algorithm   | 45s     | Comedy   | Does the "wrong" answer travel further |
| `SPT-004` | Same Spotify, different strain | 45s     | Data     | Personalization depth as the payload   |
| `SPT-005` | The classical outlier          | 40s     | Data     | Counterintuitive match                 |

**Recurring assets:** Spotify-style top-five stack, loading animation in High IQ app styling, strain reveal card, waveform overlay while the track plays.

<Warning>
  **Not every strain has an AI soundtrack yet.** Confirm the matched strain actually has an `audio_url` before scripting an episode around it — a reveal with no track to play is a dead episode. If the match lands on a strain without one, generate the track first rather than switching to a lesser match.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Do not use Spotify's logo, wordmark, or exact UI. Build a generic "top five artists" stack in brand colors. The title is a comparison, not a claim of partnership.

Professor High — SPOTIFY = YOUR STRAIN — SPT-001
Runtime: 40 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
  personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
  main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
  recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
  rules: /social/cast
TONE: Measured, with a dry edge on the verdict line. Sincere throughout, never
winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is funny.

ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab. Dark pine-green backdrop. A generic top-five artist
stack and a strain reveal card share the frame. Never use Spotify branding,
logos, or exact UI.

Professor High — SPOTIFY = YOUR STRAIN — SPT-003
Runtime: 45 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
  personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
  main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
  recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
  rules: /social/cast
TONE: Flat and dry. The comedy is the situation, not the delivery. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.

ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab. Dark pine-green backdrop. A generic top-five artist
stack and a strain reveal card share the frame. Never use Spotify branding,
logos, or exact UI.

**Caption**

> Bach, Debussy, Arvo Pärt → a deeply myrcene-dominant strain. I expected complexity. Those composers aren't writing complexity, they're writing stillness.
>
> Same signal, different medium. Drop your top five.

Professor High — SPOTIFY = YOUR STRAIN — SPT-005
Runtime: 40 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
  personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
  main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
  recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
  rules: /social/cast
TONE: Precise and matter-of-fact. A researcher walking through a result. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.

ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab. Dark pine-green backdrop. A generic top-five artist
stack and a strain reveal card share the frame. Never use Spotify branding,
logos, or exact UI.

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) neutral + static chest-up + top-five stack sliding in
   SAYS: "Bach. Debussy. Arvo Pärt. This match surprised me and I built the
   thing."
   ON SCREEN: THIS ONE SURPRISED ME
2. (0:04-0:12) neutral, reading + slow push-in + loading animation
   SAYS: "I expected something bright and complex. Lots of terpenes, lots of
   movement. That is not what came back."
   ON SCREEN: I EXPECTED COMPLEXITY
3. (0:12-0:24) neutral, listening, still + locked wide + strain reveal card into waveform
   AUDIO/ACTION: (no voiceover — the AI strain track plays)
   ON SCREEN: (strain reveal card, then waveform)
4. (0:24-0:36) excited, crown perked + static chest-up + terpene card beside strain card
   SAYS: "Deeply myrcene-dominant. Heavy. Slow. And the more I sat with it, the
   more obvious it got — none of those composers are writing complexity.
   They are writing *stillness*. That is the same signal, in a different
   medium."
   ON SCREEN: THEY BOTH WRITE STILLNESS
5. (0:36-0:40) neutral + static chest-up + closing submission card
   SAYS: "Save this if the match makes sense to you. Top five below."
   ON SCREEN: SAVE IF THIS TRACKS

ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, max 6 words
per line, lower third. Key terms in pineapple yellow #D98E04. Word-synced.
Keep 250px clear at the bottom and 120px at the top.

AUDIO: The matched strain's own AI-generated track, playing clean and
uninterrupted during the music beat. No voiceover over it. Voice normalized loudest.

DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no cannabis paraphernalia in frame. No
medical claims. No real dispensary, producer, or lab names. No logos.
```

## Production Batch Notes

* **The track is the product.** Beat three is silent voiceover on purpose — 12 seconds of uninterrupted music. Do not talk over it, and do not shorten it to fit more explanation. The demo *is* the proof.
* Verify `audio_url` exists on the matched strain before writing the episode. Only a subset of strains currently have one.
* `SPT-001` and `SPT-002` are both 40 seconds and structurally identical. The only variable is genre. That is a clean read on whether reach follows the music or the format.
* `SPT-003` and `SPT-005` deliver the same surprise — an unexpected match — one as comedy, one straight. Comparing their share rates answers whether this audience shares to laugh or to look perceptive.
* Real submissions only. If a stack is invented for a pilot, say so on screen. Fabricating a submitter is the one thing that would undermine every UGC show in the library at once.
