  Hi everyone. Welcome to Mini Scroll, the
• 0:03
  daily Internet culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories
• 0:07
  from social media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:10
  Every Monday through Thursday and sometimes Fridays.
• 0:13
  I'm your host, Lauren Meisner, the founder of the youth digital
• 0:17
  media brand Centennial World. Welcome back to Mini Scroll,
• 0:21
  everyone. OK, I have kind of a crazy
• 0:25
  episode. We need to just get straight
• 0:28
  into it. But as always, Please remember
• 0:30

  It helps us so much. It helps us grow and sign up to
• 0:37
  our Patreon if you want behind the scenes more parasocial
• 0:40
  content. All right, the first story that
• 0:44
  I have for you guys today is Trisha Paytas is saying that she
• 0:48
  plans to run for Congress. So in two separate pieces of
• 0:52
  content this week, Tricia has said that she is hoping to run
• 0:55
  for the US House of Representatives seat in
• 0:57
  California 2026. She first mentioned it on
• 1:00
  YouTube a couple days ago, and then she made a TikTok video
• 1:03
  where she opened up a little bit more about this.
• 1:06
  The idea of me being representative for the state of
• 1:08
  California came to me in a dream, in a vision, if you will.
• 1:12
  It's so vivid to me. I, like so many people, are just
• 1:15
  like watching the world. Just rumble little by little.
• 1:19
  But I'm not giving up hope. I'm a mother with three kids,
• 1:21
  and I really have a generation alpha and a generation beta, and
• 1:25
  they really need a better world. I never thought of myself as a
• 1:27
  political person until I started having kids and realizing, like,
• 1:30
  the world could be just so disastrous, dystopian for real
• 1:35
  by the time they get to be adults.
• 1:36
  So I was like, all right, Trish enough, just like shutting it
• 1:40
  out. Big ignorant.
• 1:41
  Trisha said her main goal initially, if she got in would
• 1:44
  be to increase the age requirement from 18 to 25 to
• 1:48
  participate in the adult entertainment industry.
• 1:51
  Now, she didn't say which political party she would be
• 1:54
  affiliated with, but she has publicly endorsed a range.
• 1:58
  In 2012, she publicly backed Republican presidential
• 2:01
  candidate Mitt Romney, sharing and a now related YouTube video
• 2:05
  in which she described him as super hot.
• 2:08
  She later voiced her support for Donald Trump in 2016 before
• 2:11
  distancing herself in a since deleted 2019 video titled I Do
• 2:15
  Not Support Trump, where she admitted that she never voted
• 2:19
  and, quote, literally knew nothing about politics.
• 2:22
  And then ahead of the 2020 election, Tricia said on
• 2:25
  frenemies that she voted for Joe Biden after he quoted Hamilton,
• 2:29
  mistakenly believing that a passage from the Declaration of
• 2:32
  Independence originated from the Broadway musical.
• 2:37
  And honestly, even though that is all true, those things all
• 2:41
  happened, it is very hard to know what to believe with
• 2:44
  Tricia, especially with her older endorsements, because she
• 2:48
  has since come out and said, like, I was such a troll in my
• 2:50
  early career, you know, it was all rage bait.
• 2:53
  But it's like, was it really? Like, you just never know?
• 2:56
  Like you just literally never know if Tricia is ever telling
• 2:59
  the truth. Although I do think she's
• 3:01
  telling the truth here. Like, I do think she genuinely
• 3:03
  wants to run for Congress. And I fear anything Tricia puts
• 3:07
  her mind to, she achieves. So like, I kind of see this
• 3:11
  happening, maybe not in the exact way that she wants it to
• 3:15
  and that she's talking about it right now, but like Tricia
• 3:17
  Paytas being in politics. Like, why does that not feel so
• 3:20
  crazy? Like it should be?
• 3:21
  It should absolutely be crazy. Like we need to bring back like
• 3:24
  qualifications. But I fear it's possible that
• 3:28
  she will be in politics. And then kind of the main
• 3:31
  criticism, aside from just like how controversial she is and
• 3:33
  like rage baby, she always is in general, the main criticism that
• 3:37
  people have had over her announcing that she wants to run
• 3:40
  for Congress is people saying it's kind of like a tone deaf
• 3:43
  thing to post about South casually in 2026, given
• 3:46
  everything that's going on in American politics right now.
• 3:49
  All right, the next story that I have for you guys is that TikTok
• 3:52
  creator Haley Khalil is being sued by her football player
• 3:56
  ex-husband for things that she said about his penis size on
• 4:00
  live stream. This is a really insane episode,
• 4:03
  you guys, I'm sorry. So Haley Khalil who is as Haley
• 4:06
  Bailey on TikTok, she's a TikTok creator, she's a model and she
• 4:09
  has over 16,000,000 followers. She went really viral in 2024
• 4:14
  with the let them eat cake Met Gala video that she posted that
• 4:18
  sparked a lot of backlash. So in case you don't remember
• 4:21
  this, she wasn't actually at the Mccalla, but she was like
• 4:24
  hosting something for e-news. She was dressed as Marie
• 4:27
  Antoinette and she lip synced to let them eat cake like a TikTok
• 4:32
  sound let them eat cake. And people felt like it was a
• 4:34
  really out of touch video and like scenario for her to be lip
• 4:38
  syncing this specific line given the historical context given she
• 4:42
  was doing this as such like a lavish expensive event.
• 4:45
  I actually did an entire breakdown on this situation on
• 4:49
  mini scroll. It's when I used to do
• 4:51
  occasionally like 1 story and episode.
• 4:54
  It was back in 2024. I think it was May obviously
• 4:56
  because it was Mac Ellis. So it would have been within
• 4:57
  like the first month or two of many.
• 4:59
  So I have no idea what that episode is like.
• 5:01
  But if you do want to go back and listen to it, it is there.
• 5:06
  Be kind to me. It was the very beginning of me
• 5:09
  learning to podcast by myself. OK.
• 5:11
  So it was reported this week that Hailey's ex-husband, former
• 5:14
  NFL player Matt Khalil, has filed A lawsuit against her over
• 5:17
  comments that she made about him during a Twitch live stream in
• 5:20
  November. Haley was on stream with Marlon
• 5:22
  Garcia where she opened up about her sex life with her ex-husband
• 5:26
  of seven years, and she insinuated that his penis size
• 5:29
  was the, quote, biggest factor for their divorce and implied
• 5:32
  that sex with him would leave her quote in tears.
• 5:35
  So Matt filed A lawsuit against her saying that these comments
• 5:38
  have impacted his ability to stay out of the public eye and
• 5:41
  that his family members have been forced to, quote, endure
• 5:44
  the ongoing public circulation of these degrading and deeply
• 5:47
  personal statements. Honestly, fair enough.
• 5:50
  And then he also says that she has benefited financially from a
• 5:54
  surge in traffic in the wake of the stream.
• 5:57
  I also want to say she talks a lot about her exes.
• 5:59
  Like she talks about, remember, she would talk about how she's
• 6:01
  like a billionaire boyfriend. But I think that maybe was a
• 6:04
  troll. I don't know.
• 6:05
  That's that's something similar between Tricia and Haley is you
• 6:08
  just never know what's like true with them or what's just a troll
• 6:11
  for views and attention. But yeah.
• 6:13
  So he is seeking $75,000 in damages and a jury trial.
• 6:18
  Now Haley has made a statement to People magazine about this,
• 6:20
  saying, quote, the truth is in the original live stream, which
• 6:23
  is still live on Marlins YouTube account, I speak highly of him
• 6:26
  in multiple ways throughout that conversation.
• 6:29
  She continues saying that she was, quote, genuinely shocked
• 6:32
  and incredibly hurt upon receiving the news of this
• 6:34
  filing. Litigation is a harrowing and
• 6:36
  emotionally draining experience and I'm heartbroken that he is
• 6:39
  choosing to subject us and our families to this ordeal.
• 6:42
  Even if she did speak highly of him, that doesn't negate the
• 6:45
  fact that she then said all this stuff about his Dick and about
• 6:49
  their marriage and their sex life.
• 6:50
  She remains controversial for views and the last story that I
• 6:55
  have for you guys, someone else who is remaining controversial
• 6:58
  for views these days is I'm going to breakdown the backlash
• 7:02
  right now happening online around the diary of a CEOA
• 7:05
  specific clip that has gone viral from an episode that was
• 7:08
  actually about six months ago. I I wasn't sure if I was going
• 7:11
  to cover it. It feels a little tiny bit out
• 7:13
  of the realm of mini scroll, but I wanted to talk about it
• 7:16
  because I think in 2024 I did AQ and A it might have been, I
• 7:19
  don't think it was last year. I don't think I did any Q and as
• 7:21
  in 2025 anyways, I think it was 2024 and somebody asked me what
• 7:24
  podcast you listen to and I specifically quickly remember I
• 7:27
  did say occasionally I will listen to Diary of Aceo
• 7:30
  depending on who he has on. And I feel like I just need to
• 7:32
  issue a correction. OK.
• 7:34
  Even back then he was heading down a certain type of pipeline
• 7:38
  and now he is like really there. Like his content is really
• 7:40
  there. So I do want to clarify, first
• 7:43
  of all, I do not listen to Diary of Aceo anymore and I absolutely
• 7:47
  would never listen to it anymore, especially after this.
• 7:50
  So let me get into it. So there is a clip from an
• 7:52
  episode of Diary of Aceo, the podcast that is going so viral
• 7:56
  on Talk right now. It's between the host Stephen
• 7:58
  Bartlett and famous psychiatrist Doctor K.
• 8:02
  The episode is not new. Like I said, it's from July of
• 8:04
  last year. But this particular segment has
• 8:07
  just started blowing up this week.
• 8:09
  I don't really know where it originated from in terms of like
• 8:12
  how it started blowing up, but it is everywhere now.
• 8:15
  So let me just play some of the segment for you.
• 8:17
  There is a whole generation of men that is like we are
• 8:20
  literally watching them die out. I almost wonder, is there a
• 8:26
  mechanism in a human being that if your genes know they're dying
• 8:32
  out, what would they trigger in your mind?
• 8:35
  So if we're going to talk about this topic from a purely
• 8:39
  animalistic perspective of like passing on genes, right, and
• 8:43
  this group of men, this cohort of men dying out, then I fear we
• 8:49
  need to look at it like natural selection, like something that
• 8:52
  is happening in the animal world, which happens in every
• 8:55
  species. Natural selection, the quote UN
• 8:59
  quote, females. I hate that word.
• 9:00
  But let's go for the animalistic perspective here.
• 9:02
  The females deem who is worthy mating with and who isn't based
• 9:06
  on a variety of factors. And that's what's happening in
• 9:10
  cell manosphere red pilled men. They're not safe men for women
• 9:14
  to procreate with. They're not safe men for women
• 9:16
  to be in relationships with. They're not men who protect our
• 9:18
  rights. They don't look at us as people.
• 9:21
  They tell us constantly that all they want from us is sex and
• 9:24
  cooking and cleaning. We're basically like a slave for
• 9:27
  them that they can then have sex with.
• 9:29
  So why the fuck would these same men then turn around and expect
• 9:35
  women to want to bring children into the world with them?
• 9:38
  God forbid you have a dog with a man like this.
• 9:41
  And they're right that women don't need these men anymore.
• 9:43
  But for generations we did like women stage trapped in horrible
• 9:48
  marriages with horrible men because they had to survive.
• 9:52
  Like they couldn't even have fucking bank accounts.
• 9:54
  Like a lot of our mothers, a lot of possibly people that listen
• 9:57
  to this podcast, women that listen to this podcast, remember
• 10:00
  when women couldn't have bank accounts even, you know, so it's
• 10:03
  like you had to survive somehow. And that's how the system was
• 10:06
  set up. So yes, obviously now we have
• 10:09
  more choice and more agency. So we're not choosing to be tied
• 10:12
  to men who think of us as like incubators for their legacy,
• 10:16
  quote UN quote legacy. Give me a fucking break with the
• 10:19
  legacy. OK.
• 10:20
  Also, I just think who like, who cares?
• 10:22
  Literally, it is so weird hearing men talk about, like,
• 10:27
  passing on their genes and their genes dying out.
• 10:29
  Like, OK, So what? What genes are you talking
• 10:34
  about? Who fucking cares?
• 10:36
  OK, so now let's talk about this part.
• 10:39
  I'm going to play another clip. Listen to what Stephen Bartlett
• 10:42
  asks, because this is really what has stirred up a lot of
• 10:46
  controversy. They will effectively out of the
• 10:48
  gene mating pool. So people will hear that and
• 10:51
  many people will go, well, that's evolution.
• 10:53
  But should society intervene to course correct that?
• 10:56
  Should we put systems in place to make sure that those men
• 10:58
  meet? Partners Stephen Bartlett is
• 11:00
  asking if the government should force women into having babies
• 11:07
  within cells. Like that's what it sounds like.
• 11:09
  I recognize that might not be what he was referring to.
• 11:12
  However, I think it is an insane question to bring up and not
• 11:17
  clarify if or what he meant by that by the government, like
• 11:20
  intervening in men's jeans, quote UN quote, dying out in the
• 11:24
  context of the current political and social atmosphere in the US,
• 11:29
  but also just globally. So I feel like there are a few
• 11:31
  comments and videos that really sum up the general feeling of
• 11:35
  this whole interview that I'm going to read.
• 11:37
  They can articulate it much better than I can.
• 11:39
  So one comment on the YouTube video reads, should society
• 11:43
  intervene? That is a horrifying thought.
• 11:46
  What are the intervention slash systems that you would put in
• 11:48
  place to ensure that men procreate?
• 11:51
  Why are we not talking about the women in this equation at all?
• 11:53
  Thankful that Doctor K at least brought up that a woman's
• 11:56
  consent is required. But this entire thought process
• 11:58
  is giving Handmaid's Tale. Someone else wrote.
• 12:01
  The system that is already in place is dating.
• 12:04
  That's it. What do you mean society should
• 12:06
  intervene? Bro this isn't Handmaid's tale.
• 12:08
  No man is owed a woman. The real problem women are
• 12:11
  having is that we say respect women and treat women with more
• 12:14
  humanity and then there are men that flat out refuse to do so.
• 12:18
  So we as women choose not to reproduce with them.
• 12:21
  The male loneliness epidemic really is a man's issue.
• 12:24
  And the key is just being someone that a woman will love
• 12:26
  based on personality, since women no longer need a man for
• 12:29
  money or stability anymore. And then this is a video from a
• 12:31
  creator named Ash. Her handle is existential Pisces
• 12:34
  444. It is so concerning that the
• 12:38
  suggested solution to the lowering birth rate is
• 12:43
  effectively a system around dating to make it easier for men
• 12:50
  to be able to get into partnerships with women so they
• 12:56
  don't end up as harmful humans placing the onus on women.
• 13:03
  Again, it is not women's responsibility to prevent
• 13:08
  radicalization or civilize grown adults.
• 13:12
  This is a system that again protects men without confronting
• 13:19
  their harmful behavior to begin. With and one last comment so
• 13:22
  this is the comment on Ash's video.
• 13:24
  It says the fact that they're not talking about the
• 13:26
  unfulfilled desire of having children slash starting a family
• 13:30
  and instead talk about passing on genes is so telling.
• 13:35
  And this really isn't right. Like, what woman wants to have
• 13:38
  children with a man who seemingly he only wants those
• 13:40
  children for the clout of being able to pass on his genes?
• 13:45
  Like what kind of father do you think that man will be to your
• 13:48
  kids? What kind of partner do you
• 13:50
  think that man will be to you as a mother, as raising a family
• 13:53
  together? And it's so crazy that Doctor K
• 13:56
  is saying these inselly men who can't get women are like trying
• 14:00
  everything. Like there's parts throughout
• 14:02
  this podcast where he's like, they're going to therapy.
• 14:04
  They're listening to the advice, but the advice is just not
• 14:06
  working for them. As a woman on the Internet who
• 14:09
  speaks about these these topics here and there, I can tell you
• 14:12
  these men are not doing anything to improve their situations.
• 14:15
  They're not listening to women. They're not taking this advice
• 14:18
  like women are saying, as that comment that I read before said,
• 14:20
  like, treat us like human beings.
• 14:22
  Don't call us names. And the amount of men even just
• 14:25
  like in our comment section when I occasionally talk about the
• 14:28
  manosphere who are calling me names, being threatening and
• 14:31
  like psychotic like that is not showing me that men are doing
• 14:35
  all the right things. And it's just the mean women who
• 14:39
  don't want to give them a chance.
• 14:40
  Like that is literally not what's happening here.
• 14:43
  And these men, they make excuses.
• 14:45
  And Doctor K also said this. He's like, oh, something about
• 14:47
  their face shape. He was basically saying, you
• 14:49
  know, the men, if they're not born right, like if they, you
• 14:52
  know, have the wrong face shape, they look different.
• 14:55
  Whatever it is, then women don't want them.
• 14:57
  And it's like men make these excuses.
• 14:59
  They talk about Dick size, they talk about height, they talk
• 15:01
  about their face shape. That's what looks maxing is all
• 15:04
  about. Women are not being shallow and
• 15:06
  not talking to you because you don't have like, the perfect,
• 15:09
  perfect physique because you don't look perfect, because
• 15:11
  you're not the perfect type. It literally is not about that.
• 15:14
  You don't actually want to change as a person.
• 15:17
  You are not listening to what women actually want.
• 15:19
  Women don't give a shit about what you look like.
• 15:21
  They want to have this excuse so bad that it's completely out of
• 15:25
  their control and it's all women's fault.
• 15:27
  And if it's all about physicality, then it makes it
• 15:30
  women's fault because it makes women shallow.
• 15:32
  And that is why we pick the bear.
• 15:35
  OK. Stephen Bartlett has been going
• 15:37
  down this really murky pilled pipeline for a while now, but it
• 15:42
  really ramped up over the past couple of years because he
• 15:45
  became an investor in this like health related company.
• 15:47
  And so he started featuring more and more guests in this like
• 15:51
  health related space and they have just spread some of the
• 15:56
  most contradictory and insane misinformation.
• 16:00
  And he really just never pushes back or challenges them.
• 16:03
  And I think that's the biggest issue that people have.
• 16:06
  And it's a shame because his earlier interviews with actual
• 16:09
  business people, which is what the podcast started as Diary of
• 16:12
  Aceo, was him interviewing successful business people about
• 16:16
  their secrets. And that was really helpful.
• 16:17
  Like as somebody who's building a brand, that's why I like to
• 16:20
  listen to a lot of his episodes. I found a lot of his interviews,
• 16:23
  the guests like they were great. They gave great information,
• 16:26
  tangible information that I could take away, but now it
• 16:29
  feels like he almost exclusively interviews like grifters.
• 16:32
  So I guess anything for views. Anyways guys, that's it for mini
• 16:36
  scroll today. Thank you so much for listening.
• 16:38
