  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet
• 0:03
  culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social
• 0:06
  media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:09
  Every Monday through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner,
• 0:12
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World.
• 0:17
  Welcome back to Mini Scroll, everyone.
• 0:19
  Oh my gosh, I am having the most wild hay fever.
• 0:22
  I feel like I keep coming on here like once a week being like
• 0:25
  I cannot breathe. But I'm very sorry if I'm like
• 0:29
  sniffly and I sound stuffed up. I think there must be like it's,
• 0:34
  it seems to be like, I get it when I wear overcoats or Blazers
• 0:38
  or something that I haven't worn in a long time.
• 0:41
  And I feel like maybe at our last house, all the problems
• 0:44
  with that house rat vibes. We kept everything really closed
• 0:49
  because we were like scared of the vermin.
• 0:52
  And I'm wondering if some of the clothes that I don't wear very
• 0:55
  often that I've now started wearing again for winter.
• 0:58
  Like if they may be, I don't know if they're like really
• 1:01
  dusty or something 'cause they haven't been properly aired out.
• 1:04
  But like I am truly dying today, so I'm very sorry.
• 1:08
  Anyways, let's get on to the stories for today because I
• 1:11
  actually have quite a few. So the 1st right that I have for
• 1:14
  you guys is a bit of A2 parter. So we're going to be talking
• 1:17
  about some stuff that's going on with Brianna Chicken Fries.
• 1:20
  So first, she has called out Alex Earl for using her merch
• 1:23
  design. So Alex recently launched merch
• 1:26
  for her podcast Hot Mess that says, if you're reading this,
• 1:29
  I'm hungover on the back of her hoodie.
• 1:31
  Alex's merch as we know it really pops off and she's done
• 1:34
  such a great job of making her designs really fun and
• 1:37
  interesting, but also very on brand.
• 1:39
  And her merch seems to just be like very, very successful.
• 1:42
  So today Brianna Lapaglia, also known as Brianna Chicken Fry,
• 1:45
  made a video showing that she made merch with this exact same
• 1:49
  saying a couple years ago. It was also a hoodie with this
• 1:53
  saying on the back of it. I mean, I wouldn't actually call
• 1:56
  this like a call out per SE because she was really casual in
• 1:59
  her video and she kind of showed the merch like next to Alex's,
• 2:03
  but she was like really chill about it.
• 2:04
  But still, you know, she still made the video.
• 2:06
  So it was still like something. I think the kind of big thing
• 2:10
  here is that you actually can find shirts and, you know,
• 2:13
  hoodies and stuff with that saying on it on different fast
• 2:16
  fashion websites. And I feel like that's just like
• 2:18
  a saying from like anonymous Twitter days, like, you know,
• 2:21
  when it was like party girl problems and stuff.
• 2:23
  If you're a millennial, you know, So I mean, I wouldn't say
• 2:27
  it's like any type of like copyright issue, but, you know,
• 2:30
  just something interesting to note.
• 2:32
  But the other part of this story is that people are kind of
• 2:37
  starting to question what's going on with Bree and her
• 2:40
  podcast. So people are worried that
• 2:42
  something might be going on with her podcast plan Bree that she
• 2:45
  does with her best friend Grace. On a recent episode, Brianna
• 2:48
  talked about not wanting to spend this summer in New York
• 2:51
  City and how she also wants to launch like a solo project.
• 2:54
  They did like separate updates in this episode.
• 2:56
  And then so in Graces update she talked about how she's staying
• 2:59
  in New York City and that she hasn't left her house in like 3
• 3:02
  days. And people were just in the
• 3:04
  comments being like the vibes are off like something is going
• 3:08
  on. I'll read some of the comments
• 3:09
  on the YouTube video. So some of the top comments say
• 3:12
  Bree is giving me PTSD on shitty friend who chooses guy over the
• 3:16
  girlies. By Bree we ride for Grace, she
• 3:19
  means Brianna's boyfriend Zach Bryan who's a country singer.
• 3:22
  Someone else wrote please just make this Grace's podcast
• 3:24
  already. Bree has prioritized Herman,
• 3:26
  Grace is putting in the work plan.
• 3:28
  Bree is not fun anymore and Bree is not Bria anymore.
• 3:31
  I wish her the best, I really do, but I feel for Grace.
• 3:34
  Someone else wrote Grace. I really hope you see these
• 3:36
  comments and see how many strangers are rooting for you.
• 3:38
  I really really hope you have good friends in your corner.
• 3:41
  Length of a relationship does not equal quality.
• 3:44
  Someone else wrote the fact that this podcast is named after
• 3:46
  Brianna, who has stopped showing up for it completely as crazy.
• 3:49
  Grace carries and needs her own podcast.
• 3:51
  I'm not sure if the criticism or the comments about Brianna
• 3:54
  choosing her man are totally fair.
• 3:56
  I think that is just kind of like when you get in a
• 3:59
  relationship, your priorities might shift, especially he has a
• 4:03
  very high demand job. Like he's on the road a lot.
• 4:05
  I guess she's probably traveling with him a lot and things like
• 4:08
  that. Or she's planning, you know, she
• 4:09
  plans her schedule around when he's back in town, like things
• 4:12
  like that. So I think it's just like the
• 4:15
  stage of life, unfortunately. And that's the stage.
• 4:18
  Like that's the age that they're both at, right?
• 4:20
  Like, like I'm in my early 30s and I mean, that's just kind of
• 4:23
  what happens when you get to your mid to late 20s and some of
• 4:28
  your friends start getting in really serious relationships,
• 4:30
  start getting engaged, maybe they get married.
• 4:33
  People like drop off. It does happen.
• 4:37
  And sometimes if you as a person in the relationship is not like
• 4:40
  actively trying to maintain your independence and your own life
• 4:45
  separate to your partner and the life that you're creating
• 4:48
  together with them. You know, you can create
• 4:50
  distance between yourself and your single friends because you
• 4:54
  feel like you're in different stages of your life and like you
• 4:56
  are, but I don't know. You're also not like, I feel
• 5:01
  like, I don't know, maybe this is just me being delusional, but
• 5:05
  I think most of my friends would say that I have a very
• 5:09
  independent life to my husband Sean, and I've never let being
• 5:13
  in a relationship change that for me.
• 5:15
  I very much choose partners who want to have their own life as
• 5:19
  well because, you know, it's nice to have a life together,
• 5:22
  obviously. But like for me, I would much
• 5:24
  rather like, maintain who I am and my independence and like
• 5:27
  chase my own goals no matter what.
• 5:30
  And if somebody wants to be alongside me like that, then
• 5:33
  that's great. But I'm not going to start
• 5:35
  changing my whole life to build something separate with them if
• 5:40
  it doesn't align with what I'm trying to do, if that makes
• 5:42
  sense. So I do feel like there are
• 5:43
  different ways to have relationships.
• 5:45
  I feel like it's very Sagittarius of me to have
• 5:47
  relationships like that. But that is just the truth.
• 5:49
  Like Sean and I obviously are married and together, but we do
• 5:53
  have very independent lives and that was important to me.
• 5:56
  So it's just all about like what your priorities are.
• 5:59
  And maybe Brianna's priorities are different right now.
• 6:02
  I don't know. One comment about all of this on
• 6:05
  TikTok says that the rift between them started when Grace
• 6:08
  went on a chart brand trip and Bri didn't, and she seemed
• 6:11
  jealous about that trip. I didn't see that kind of
• 6:15
  conversation, but that's one theory and then another
• 6:17
  commenter claims that Grace and Brianna's boyfriend, country
• 6:20
  singer Zach Bryan, unfollowed each other.
• 6:22
  So I checked they don't follow each other on Instagram, but I
• 6:25
  can't actually confirm if they ever did.
• 6:27
  So take that with a grain of salt.
• 6:30
  All right, the next day that I have for you guys, this is a
• 6:33
  quick little one again for the TikTok trends like the marketing
• 6:36
  girly social media girly's. I know a lot of you guys listen
• 6:38
  to the pods, so I'm keeping that in mind now with mini scroll.
• 6:41
  Now that I'm like sharing so many stories every single week,
• 6:44
  I feel like it gives me more of an opportunity to share like
• 6:48
  trends and things that maybe wouldn't have made the cut when
• 6:51
  it was like a viral news episode.
• 6:53
  OK, so there's this new trend on TikTok.
• 6:55
  It's called match my freak and it's actually quite easy.
• 6:58
  So it's a good one. If you do run points on like
• 7:00
  social for a company, you have your own brand you're trying to
• 7:03
  grow on TikTok, you can easily do this.
• 7:05
  So videos are set to a remix of Tinashi's Nasty and Space song
• 7:10
  by Beach House. It's kind of like slowed down.
• 7:12
  It's like a mashup remix of it. The videos are so quick and easy
• 7:17
  to replicate. Like I said, basically users
• 7:19
  film themselves either like looking out a window or like
• 7:22
  searching for something with text over it that says match my
• 7:26
  freak question mark. How about you match my blank?
• 7:29
  So one example is by user Carmel Soprano, who wrote match my
• 7:34
  freak question mark. How about match my curiosity for
• 7:37
  the unknown, my desire to learn, my thirst for knowledge.
• 7:42
  So a lot of users are also using like yearning as the thing to
• 7:46
  match. I feel like it started with like
• 7:49
  match my freak. Why don't you match my yearning
• 7:51
  for X? So if you really want to be like
• 7:53
  in with the trend, you could use yearning for something.
• 7:56
  But yes, that is like, that's the trend, just a high level.
• 7:59
  That's a trend. So something easy to jump on.
• 8:02
  And I think it's like a really funny one.
• 8:05
  It's definitely satirical. So like, make it funny.
• 8:09
  OK. The next story that I have for
• 8:10
  you guys is that Landon Barker has shaded Charlie D'amelio on
• 8:14
  his Instagram story. So it seems like Landon is still
• 8:17
  struggling from his split with Charlie.
• 8:19
  Yesterday, he posted a photo on a story writing.
• 8:22
  I really like this photo of myself.
• 8:24
  The photo was this kind of like cropped in, zoomed in photo.
• 8:27
  And obviously Internet sleuths found the original as I'm sure
• 8:31
  he knew they would. And the original picture is of
• 8:34
  him standing beside Charlie and also Kendall Jenner on the other
• 8:39
  side. But it's like a picture of him
• 8:41
  and Charlie. So I think that was just a
• 8:42
  little bit of shade. I would love to know why they
• 8:45
  broke up because I think when they broke up, I think it was
• 8:49
  Josh Richards said that he was Team Charlie and he said it.
• 8:52
  I think it was him, somebody in that world said was asked and he
• 8:57
  said I'm team Charlie like all the way.
• 8:59
  So I feel like that is an indicator of about what
• 9:02
  happened. Anyways, guys, that's it for
• 9:05
  many scroll today, for many scroll this week.
• 9:07
  I can't believe it. I cannot believe it's Thursday.

• 9:18
  Like I said yesterday, it's with Meredith Lynch and we talk about
• 9:21
  influencer scams and social media fraud, and I think it's a
• 9:24
  really good one. We talk about all the different
• 9:26
  ways that creators and influencers are scamming their
• 9:29
  audiences and it's a good one. So anyways, please rate, review,
• 9:34
