  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet
• 0:31
  culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social
• 0:34
  media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:37
  Every Monday through Thursday and sometimes Fridays.
• 0:40
  I'm your host, Lauren Meisner, the founder of the youth digital
• 0:43
  media brand Centennial World. Welcome back to Mini Scroll,
• 0:48
  everyone. OK, 2 fun updates for you guys.
• 0:51
  The first one is, you might have noticed, but my interview with
• 0:54
  Cody Simpson went up earlier today.
• 0:57
  I bet you didn't think you'd be getting 2 episodes today, and
• 0:59
  honestly, neither did I. But that came through 24 hours
• 1:03
  ago. It was for the Uber Red Cross
• 1:05
  clothing drive that's happening on Saturday.
• 1:07
  And Uber was like, do you want to interview Cody Simpson as
• 1:10
  part of this campaign? You have to interview him
• 1:12
  Thursday morning basically. And I was like, sure, let's do
• 1:16
  it. It's giving millennial dreams.
• 1:18
  So I hope you guys enjoyed it. It was really fun.
• 1:20
  It was very casual. We were in person.
• 1:22
  The sound was a plus. You know, sometimes we struggle
• 1:26
  with the sound here when we do interviews, especially if
• 1:28
  they're remote. But thankfully this was in
• 1:30
  person. So yeah, it was definitely a
• 1:31
  vibe. And then the second update that
• 1:33
  I have is for all of you guys that Stan our Brita sponsorship,
• 1:37
  they're doing a campaign right now around you finding out your
• 1:41
  hydration quotient. They're calling it.
• 1:43
  So I'll put a link down below. It's kind of like a magazine
• 1:46
  quiz. If like an old school magazine
• 1:47
  quiz. If you guys want to do that quiz
• 1:50
  and let us know what you got. I got thirst chaser so I
• 1:53
  definitely need to drink more water.
• 1:55
  Anyways, before I get into it, Please remember to rate, review
• 1:57
  and subscribe. Please Spotify star rate US.
• 2:01
  We are gunning for 1000 Spotify star ratings by the end of the
• 2:04
  year. All right, the first story that
• 2:05
  I have for you guys is that Kim Kardashian has opened up about
• 2:09
  Co parenting with Kanye West and also Northwest's outfit choices
• 2:15
  on her new interview on Call Her Daddy.
• 2:17
  So Kim appeared on Call Her Daddy today and I actually
• 2:20
  thought it was a decent interview.
• 2:22
  I felt like Kim and Alex had a lot of chemistry.
• 2:24
  I thought it was light hearted and fun.
• 2:26
  And I was actually shocked when Alex said they had never met
• 2:29
  before because from the chemistry that I felt, it seems
• 2:33
  like they've known each other at least socially here and there.
• 2:36
  So yeah, I was like pretty surprised to hear that they
• 2:38
  never met before. Anyways, Kim did open up about
• 2:41
  quite a few things. The main 2 points that I wanted
• 2:44
  to cover is she opened up about Co parenting with Kanye and
• 2:48
  addressing the backlash around North's outfit choices.
• 2:51
  So on Kanye she definitely didn't speak directly.
• 2:55
  Like there was some great media training in the way that she
• 2:59
  answered some of these questions.
• 3:01
  She would kind of talk around the answer, but in a way that
• 3:04
  made it sound like if you weren't listening for the media
• 3:06
  training of it all, it kind of did sound like she was answering
• 3:09
  the question, but she really didn't.
• 3:11
  The one thing she did say is that, you know, she implied, I
• 3:14
  suppose that is obviously hard to Co parent with Kanye and she
• 3:18
  said she never keeps the kids from him when he wants to see
• 3:20
  them unless he is in an unstable state and that he currently
• 3:24
  hasn't seen the kids for several months.
• 3:26
  The other stuff she talked about with Kanye where like, you know,
• 3:29
  she doesn't want to clap back. She kind of holds her tongue.
• 3:31
  I feel like if you've watched the Kardashians, then none of
• 3:34
  that would be a surprise. She talks about that quite
• 3:36
  frequently I feel like on the show.
• 3:38
  Then she also addressed the backlash that she faced as a
• 3:41
  mother for some of North's recent outfits that she's been
• 3:44
  wearing. So North is 12, and the Internet
• 3:47
  recently went wild when she stepped out in a corset and a
• 3:50
  skirt. This is what Kim said.
• 3:52
  It's really hard, and it's really interesting because all
• 3:54
  the kids are wearing the same things.
• 3:56
  But then my daughter tries to wear it, and then I'm like, OK,
• 3:58
  we're never wearing that again. Unfortunately, we made that
• 4:01
  mistake in front of the whole world.
• 4:03
  She also kind of said in different words that you
• 4:05
  basically need to pick your battles with tweens and teens.
• 4:09
  And honestly, I couldn't agree more.
• 4:11
  Like, I remember specifically, I had this one spaghetti strap top
• 4:16
  that I bought when I was like, I don't know, maybe 15.
• 4:19
  And I guess it kind of did show cleavage.
• 4:21
  It was like a baby doll top, you know, those were super popular.
• 4:24
  I'm a millennial, so it was really popular in like the
• 4:27
  2000s. And I guess it was a bit
• 4:29
  cleavagey. And I remember my mom for
• 4:32
  freaking out when she saw that I'd bought that and I was
• 4:34
  wearing it. She was like, you should not be
• 4:35
  wearing that until you're 18. And I was like screaming.
• 4:38
  And I literally wore it to go see my boyfriend.
• 4:40
  So I totally get it. I understand it's a little bit
• 4:43
  different when somebody is on that kind of public stage.
• 4:47
  Unfortunately, they're going to get a lot of scrutiny for that.
• 4:50
  So I know it's not so easy. And I do believe it needs to be
• 4:54
  on Kim to protect North because, yeah, at the end of the day,
• 4:57
  like this public scrutiny, North is 12, N is 12.
• 5:01
  You know, like the public scrutiny that she has now
• 5:03
  received about her body, just millions of people talking about
• 5:06
  that is really horrific, honestly, especially for a 12
• 5:10
  year old. And so, yeah, it is on Kim to
• 5:12
  protect her. So I'm glad that Alex asked
• 5:15
  these questions. I feel like it was obvious she
• 5:18
  was told she could not ask about Taylor Swift.
• 5:20
  But it seems like for the most part, everything else was able
• 5:24
  to be asked like everything else was like out on the table.
• 5:26
  And I appreciated that. OK, the next story that I have
• 5:28
  for you guys. So when the Cody Simpson
• 5:30
  interview came in, I considered if I should make that mini
• 5:34
  scroll for today. But this story is what made me
• 5:36
  decide to do a mini scroll on the same day as the interview
• 5:41
  because I was like, no, I can't miss telling this story because
• 5:44
  tomorrow we have a deep dive and then by Monday it will be done.
• 5:47
  So this Australian small jewelry business is facing so much
• 5:52
  backlash now because they called out an unnamed influencer for
• 5:55
  allegedly stealing from them and it has completely backfired on
• 5:59
  them. So Australian small jewelry
• 6:00
  business Luna Rae has accused an Australian influencer of
• 6:04
  stealing a necklace from them. Amy Bradley, who's the Co
• 6:07
  founder of Luna Rae, posted a viral TikTok earlier this week
• 6:10
  accusing an unnamed influencer of stealing a quote $360.00
• 6:14
  uniquely designed necklace from her boutique.
• 6:18
  So what she said happened was the influencer purchased the
• 6:20
  necklace through the brand's Shopify store, later filed A
• 6:24
  chargeback claiming the item never arrived, even though
• 6:27
  tracking showed it had arrived. It was delivered two days after
• 6:31
  the shipping. Shopify ruled in the customer's
• 6:33
  favor, leaving the business out of both the necklace and the
• 6:36
  cash. She then said that she saw the
• 6:39
  influencer on Instagram or on social media wearing the
• 6:44
  necklace. So that has LED her to believe
• 6:46
  that it was stolen. So that initial video racked up
• 6:48
  millions of views. I'm not surprised.
• 6:51
  You know, initially people were like, of course, in favor of the
• 6:55
  small business. They were, of course, supporting
• 6:57
  and backing the small business against an influencer.
• 7:00
  However, things took a turn when the video kept blowing up and
• 7:04
  she refused to name the influencer.
• 7:06
  And the comments were just flooded with different guesses.
• 7:09
  And the guesses were not really based on anything.
• 7:12
  Some of them were based on certain Australian influencers
• 7:16
  wearing like similar looking necklaces.
• 7:18
  But I mean, if you actually looked at a side by side, it was
• 7:21
  very obvious that these were not the same necklaces, OK?
• 7:23
  And some of the guesses were literally just because people
• 7:26
  hate these influencers. So it was completely
• 7:28
  unprecedented, completely unfair.
• 7:30
  There were all these influencers then getting flooded in their
• 7:33
  own comment sections, you know, I'm sure in their DMS, I'm sure
• 7:36
  that this could very much tarnish possibly their
• 7:39
  reputations. And Amy proceeded to post 3 more
• 7:44
  videos. So there was a total of 4 videos
• 7:46
  and in none of them did she actually name the influencer.
• 7:49
  The final two videos she did address the fact that like
• 7:53
  nobody had properly guessed the influencers and then she did
• 7:56
  clear the name of the influencers that were like the
• 7:59
  most guessed. So on top of that, the other
• 8:01
  main thing that made people question like what's going on
• 8:03
  here is this APR stunt is because in many of these videos
• 8:08
  she would talk about how they were this 6 year old brand and
• 8:11
  they were celebrating their sixth year birthday and they
• 8:13
  were going to be having a sale. So she kept talking about this
• 8:16
  6th birthday sale while also talking about how an influencer
• 8:20
  stole from them. But like not naming the
• 8:22
  influencer and letting the comments run wild guessing who
• 8:25
  it was. Not even really guessing.
• 8:26
  Like I said, accusing. So those who were wrongfully
• 8:29
  accused the most were Maddie Hey, Jessica Power, Vanessa
• 8:32
  Romito and Abby Chatfield. Why are they trolling me about
• 8:35
  this? Suddenly I'm getting a messages
• 8:36
  going. How's your free necklace?
• 8:39
  Free thief? I'm going thief.
• 8:41
  It's called a gift from my boyfriend that that's custom.
• 8:47
  So a lot of people have lost trust in Luna Ray and apparently
• 8:50
  their Google reviews are like a disaster.
• 8:53
  However, right before I sat down to record this, I saw a TikTok
• 8:56
  from a girl who says Jess who says that she is the TikTok like
• 9:00
  creator, like the TikTok social media manager for Luna Ray and
• 9:04
  she wrote this. Since working for Luna Ray, I
• 9:06
  100% know it is the most authentic and honest family
• 9:09
  business run by a husband and wife with their two little
• 9:11
  girls. I wanted to work for them
• 9:13
  because of their values and ethics, creating meaningful
• 9:16
  pieces rather other than contributing to mass production.
• 9:18
  They're opening up about a real life issue businesses experience
• 9:21
  and have apologized to those that it is impacted.
• 9:24
  Let's spread a bit more kindness.
• 9:26
  And then there are a lot of comments when I thought there
• 9:29
  was only 12 comments, but almost every comment was from people
• 9:32
  that said like I used to work for them and I totally agree.
• 9:34
  So I guess a lot of people who know the business, like in real
• 9:37
  life, whether professionally or personally are backing them.
• 9:40
  So we take that for what you will.
• 9:42
  I don't know. I'm not really sure what to
• 9:43
  believe. Let me know what you guys think.
• 9:45
  Like I would say overwhelmingly the Internet thinks that this is
• 9:47
  a PR stunt, but then having people that have worked for the
• 9:51
  brand saying like, no, these are amazing people, I'm kind of
• 9:54
  inclined to believe that too. I'm not really sure.
• 9:56
  This is one of those instances, one of those stories where I
• 9:59
  don't really know where I fall. Okay, the last like little
• 10:01
  tidbits that I wanted to share for you guys is I forgot to
• 10:05
  mention on I think it was Tuesday that I talked about
• 10:07
  Kylie or maybe Monday that she made her like rapping slash like
• 10:11
  singing musical debut in line with her King Kylie makeup line
• 10:16
  launch. So this is from Variety quote.
• 10:18
  Kylie Jenner has officially entered the music scene as the
• 10:20
  breathy vocalist featured on a new single by Tara Junior called
• 10:24
  4th Strike. The single is a continuation of
• 10:27
  Tara Junior's song 3 Strikes, which was featured in an ad
• 10:30
  campaign for the launch of Kylie Cosmetics lip glosses nearly a
• 10:33
  decade ago. Very cool.
• 10:35
  I really love how much she's like leaning into this.
• 10:37
  All right, guys, that's it for Mini Scroll today.
