  Hi everyone. Welcome to Mini Scroll, the
• 0:02
  daily Internet culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories
• 0:05
  from social media, the creator economy and the digital space.
• 0:08
  Every Monday through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner,
• 0:12
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World.
• 0:16
  Welcome back to Mini Scroll everyone.
• 0:19
  I hope you can't hear it too much, but I'm a little bit
• 0:21
  congested. I'm not sick.
• 0:22
  I just have like seasonal allergies.
• 0:25
  I think now that the seasons here in Sydney are changing, so
• 0:29
  bear with me. I hope that you can't hear too
• 0:31
  much. All right, let's get into the
• 0:33
  stories for today. So the first story is that the
• 0:37
  kid Leroy has confirmed that he is officially dating Tate
• 0:41
  Mccrae. So after months of rumors that
• 0:44
  the kid Leroy is dating Canadian pop star Tate Mccrae, he
• 0:47
  confirmed that Tate is his girlfriend live on stage during
• 0:51
  his Dublin show. He confirmed while speaking to
• 0:53
  the crowd between songs. He said, quote, I need everybody
• 0:57
  in here to sing this as loud as they can because my girlfriend's
• 1:00
  here tonight and I don't want to look lame.
• 1:02
  And then the video pans to Tate and she's like sticking her head
• 1:06
  out in the wings laughing. Rumors that the kid Leroy and
• 1:09
  Tate were dating started this year when the 20 year olds were
• 1:12
  spotted out on several dinner dates together.
• 1:15
  These rumors intensified when Tate was speaking to Billboard
• 1:18
  on the iHeartRadio red carpet on April 1st.
• 1:21
  The interviewer asked Tate if she would ever release a song
• 1:24
  with him and she laughed and said maybe he's amazing.
• 1:28
  I love this. I mean, I love a that they are
• 1:31
  age appropriate. They're both 20 and I feel like
• 1:34
  this is the perfect pairing for where they both are in their
• 1:37
  careers right now. Like they're both really popular
• 1:41
  and famous, but they're still kind of up and coming.
• 1:43
  It's like this really interesting intersection that
• 1:45
  they're both at. So I feel like them pairing up
• 1:49
  together. I don't think it's PRI think
• 1:51
  it's more that they're probably in the same stage of life and
• 1:54
  career as each other, so they have a lot in common.
• 1:57
  They hit it off and I think both not being American while
• 2:02
  dominating or trying to dominate the US music scene in their
• 2:07
  respective categories, I think would bring them closer together
• 2:10
  too. We see a lot of that where
• 2:11
  people who are like let's say 2 Canadian pop stars, they might
• 2:15
  be like living in LA and like in that US scene, but they end up
• 2:18
  being together or whatever. So the kid Leroy is Australian
• 2:21
  and Tate is Canadian, and I think that pairing works really
• 2:24
  well together often. Maybe I'm just biased 'cause I'm
• 2:26
  Canadian, my husband's Australian, but that gives them
• 2:29
  like something in common, right? So I feel like this is perfect.
• 2:32
  This coupling is going to catapult them and their careers
• 2:35
  to the next level and they're both like almost there, if that
• 2:39
  makes sense. So I think that this will be
• 2:41
  like the power couple move that they both need to get to that
• 2:45
  next step and I think they're really cute.
• 2:47
  OK, the next story that I have for you guys is another little
• 2:50
  bit of relationship news. So YouTube turned wrestler Logan
• 2:54
  Paul is expecting his first baby with fiance Nina Agdal.
• 2:59
  So on Monday, Logan and Nina announced that they're expecting
• 3:02
  a baby via Instagram quote another Paul coming this fall.
• 3:06
  The caption says alongside photos of the couple holding up
• 3:08
  an ultrasound. Logan proposed to the model in
• 3:12
  July 2023 in Lake Como, and they started dating in the summer of
• 3:15
  2022. So I think this is cute.
• 3:19
  It's just a little quick story. I mean, we know Logan Paul has
• 3:24
  had his fair share of problematic moments, but I
• 3:27
  actually do think he has turned it around.
• 3:30
  I don't think we can say the same thing for his brother Jake.
• 3:32
  I think Jake might be too far gone, but I think Logan he was
• 3:36
  highly problematic. He was kind of on that same path
• 3:39
  as Jake. And then because of a few
• 3:41
  instances that happened in his career, like when he filmed that
• 3:44
  forest in Japan and then had to make such a public apology, that
• 3:48
  was kind of like the first one of the first really big YouTube
• 3:53
  moments where they had to make an apology and it went
• 3:55
  mainstream. Like I he made like a statement.
• 3:58
  I think it was to Diane Sawyer that could be wrong, but it was
• 4:02
  like some really major mainstream apology he had to
• 4:06
  make that brought him down to earth a bit.
• 4:07
  That among a few other things that happened, I think have
• 4:10
  brought him down to earth. And I actually don't mind Logan
• 4:14
  Paul anymore. I'm probably going to eat my
• 4:16
  words and I'm sure you guys will let me know if he is way more
• 4:19
  problematic still than I'm making him out to be.
• 4:22
  But as far as I know, he seems to be on a pretty OK path.
• 4:27
  I just can't believe that we are at the stage where the Youtubers
• 4:31
  that are like, you know, my age, like kind of this middle
• 4:35
  millennial age, like they're getting married and having
• 4:38
  babies like that is just crazy. I can't even picture Logan Hall
• 4:41
  as like a daddy vlogger. I really hope he keeps his kids
• 4:44
  off the Internet and I actually feel like he might.
• 4:47
  Something is telling me that some of those early vloggers,
• 4:51
  they will not exploit their children on the Internet.
• 4:54
  Again, I could be eating my words in nine months.
• 4:58
  OK, And the last story that I have for you guys, it's a very
• 5:02
  sad story. So the popular TikTok blind item
• 5:05
  creator Kyle Marissa has passed away.
• 5:09
  So Kyle, Marissa Roth, a popular Tik toker who shared blind
• 5:12
  items, has passed away. Kyle was known for her unique
• 5:15
  and humorous content style, starting every video with you
• 5:19
  Want more? I'll give you more.
• 5:20
  Her mother shared the news in a LinkedIn post writing quote.
• 5:24
  My daughter Kyle has passed away.
• 5:26
  She touched some of your lives personally and some of your
• 5:28
  lives via her immense life on another platform.
• 5:31
  Kyle's mother said her daughter quote, loved and lived fiercely
• 5:35
  in life and that her death will be quote understood more in the
• 5:39
  next few days. On Instagram, her sister said
• 5:42
  that Kyle died last week, but the family doesn't know what
• 5:44
  happened yet. Many followers, including Julia
• 5:48
  Fox, have expressed their sadness over her passing, saying
• 5:51
  they felt like they knew Kyle. So anytime a death happens in
• 5:58
  the space that we cover, that Centennial World and Infinite
• 6:01
  Scroll cover, it's always a bit of an ethical dilemma if we want
• 6:06
  to talk about it, if we want to report on it.
• 6:08
  But I wanted to report on this because there are a few creators
• 6:13
  in each niche that I feel are doing things differently and
• 6:17
  have been somewhat Trail Blazers.
• 6:19
  So you know, for example, when here for the T passed away, she
• 6:23
  was a drama channel and she was literally one of the first drama
• 6:26
  channels ever. And she really did pave the way
• 6:28
  for helping consumers understand things like affiliate marketing
• 6:32
  and shady influencer practices. So we reported on her death in
• 6:36
  relation to her legacy. And I feel like with Kyle it's
• 6:40
  very similar because blind items.
• 6:41
  She wasn't, you know of course the 1st to do blind items, but
• 6:45
  she did it in such a unique way that if you said you want more,
• 6:49
  I'll give you more. If you said, do you know that
• 6:50
  TikTok creator that says that so many people would say yes, even
• 6:54
  if they didn't follow her. And I think that's kind of the
• 6:57
  beauty of TikTok is that because of the For You page, you are
• 7:00
  served creators constantly where you don't need to follow them to
• 7:04
  know who they are. And it is a very unique space
• 7:06
  that we're in right now when an influencer or a creator passes
• 7:10
  away because it's like navigating the death of a
• 7:12
  parasocial relationship. And while she wasn't necessarily
• 7:16
  like a traditional celebrity, millions of people would know
• 7:20
  who Kyle is, whether they knew her name or followed her or not,
• 7:23
  you know. So it's this unique time in
• 7:26
  history right now where it's probably only been something
• 7:30
  that we've been experiencing kind of the death of a creator
• 7:33
  and navigating that parasocial relationship in the last, maybe,
• 7:37
  you know, 10-15 years. It's a very new thing that we're
• 7:40
  all collectively experiencing. So that is why I wanted to touch
• 7:44
  on this. It's very sad.
• 7:46
  She definitely played a big role in kind of the gossip or blind
• 7:51
  item side of TikTok. Definitely like she was such a
• 7:54
  well known figure and her content was so unique and that
• 7:58
  is difficult to come by these days.
• 8:00
  So I really wanted to honor her legacy by touching on this.
• 8:02
  But I think all of us who follow kind of that like tea or gossip
• 8:07
  side of TikTok, which is also a side of TikTok that we sit on
• 8:10
  Infinite Scroll and Centennial, I'm sure you guys followed Kyle
• 8:14
  or had seen her and you know, she played a big role on that
• 8:18
  side of the Internet, OK And I actually have one little tiny,
• 8:21
  tiny story for you guys. I know that I said Mini Scroll
• 8:24
  was only going to be one to three stories, but I'm actually
• 8:26
  having the hardest time pairing it back to three every day.
• 8:29
  I really thought I would be like struggling to get even one story
• 8:33
  a day, and lately I feel like I am struggling to pair back.
• 8:36
  So I just wanted to touch on this before it kind of goes to
• 8:38
  the wayside. But Stassi Baby has confirmed I
• 8:41
  literally just saw before I started recording, so I don't
• 8:43
  have notes on it. But she has confirmed in a new
• 8:45
  video on Tiktok that she and Jaden have broken up.
• 8:48
  Stassi have been dating Tiktok star Jaden Hosler, and they've
• 8:52
  been on and off for a little while.
• 8:54
  And then recently, people started speculating that maybe
• 8:56
  they broke up because she was removing photos with him.
• 8:59
  They weren't seen together. And yes, she confirmed that this
• 9:02
  year has been really difficult for her.
• 9:04
  She lost her mom around this time last year.
• 9:06
  And she said, you know, of course, as you guys know or
• 9:09
  probably know, that my relationship has ended.
• 9:12
  And now I'm also grieving the life that I thought I would have
• 9:15
  with that person. All right, guys.
• 9:17
  Well, that's it for today. Thank you so much for listening
