  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet
• 0:04
  culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social
• 0:07
  media, the creator economy and the digital space every Monday
• 0:11
  through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner,
• 0:14
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial world.
• 0:19
  Welcome back to mini scroll everyone.
• 0:21
  Tell me why I have an 8 page mini scroll for you guys today I
• 0:27
  have seven stories. This is actually unhinged, but I
• 0:30
  could not cut it down. Literally every single one of
• 0:34
  these stories is important. But before I start, I needed to
• 0:38
  let you guys know that I finally saw wicked.
• 0:40
  I saw it last night for my birthday with on Oh my God, it
• 0:44
  lives up to the hype. Like it is so good.
• 0:48
  I laughed, I cried, they slayed. It was so freaking good.
• 0:54
  I did see Ariana Grande in the role.
• 0:58
  I know there's been mixed opinions on her involvement.
• 1:02
  And you know, if you could kind of separate her from the role, I
• 1:06
  did see it as Ariana Grande, but she was amazing.
• 1:09
  Like she, she was amazing in the role.
• 1:11
  Overall, 12 out of 10 experience.
• 1:15
  All right, let's get into the stories for today because like I
• 1:17
  said, I have a million of them. So the first story that I have
• 1:20
  for you guys is that Grace O'Malley has addressed the
• 1:23
  status of her podcast and friendship with Brianna Chicken
• 1:27
  Fry. So we are getting some closure,
• 1:30
  it seems, on the Brianna and Grace friendship situation.
• 1:34
  Over the last few months, there has been ongoing speculation
• 1:37
  that Brianna and Grace have had some really major issues in
• 1:40
  their friendship. When Brianna split from Zach
• 1:43
  Bryan, it kind of seemed like she addressed their rift by
• 1:46
  implying that Zach was putting like a wedge between the two of
• 1:50
  them. So it seems like, OK, well,
• 1:52
  maybe now that he's out of the picture, they can start to
• 1:55
  rebuild. But that being said, their
• 1:57
  podcast together has still not returned.
• 2:00
  There's very limited interaction between the two of them on
• 2:03
  socials. So people were kind of like, OK,
• 2:05
  what is going on? Then last week, Bree posted that
• 2:09
  Plan Breathe, their joint podcast, made it to the 2024
• 2:12
  Spotify Breakout Creators list, and she wrote, I'm going to try
• 2:16
  and bring it back. Like I'm working on bringing
• 2:18
  some version of Planbree back for all of you.
• 2:21
  This apparently was unbeknownst to Grace, and it LED Grace to
• 2:25
  issue a statement about the podcast and their friendship.
• 2:28
  She wrote three Instagram stories in the first one she
• 2:31
  wrote. For months I've been radio
• 2:32
  silent about the status of Planbree and it has killed me to
• 2:35
  leave you guys hanging. The plan was for Brianna and me
• 2:38
  to put out a joint statement about the end of the podcast.
• 2:41
  Everything's so weird and unfamiliar at the moment so I've
• 2:44
  just waited for the queue to put that out out.
• 2:46
  Seeing all of you tag us in your Spotify Wrapped made me feel a
• 2:49
  few things. Then she said on that same day
• 2:53
  as Spotify Wrapped, you may have seen Brianna post that she's
• 2:56
  quote working on bringing back some version of Plan Bri to give
• 3:00
  you guys the much needed info you deserve.
• 3:02
  All I can say is that that was my first time hearing about
• 3:05
  this, so I feel as if it's fair to share my piece about all this
• 3:09
  jazz with you now. This last year I've bit my
• 3:11
  tongue so much that I shouldn't even have one anymore.
• 3:15
  I was willing to wait out of respect, but things don't always
• 3:18
  work out the way you think they will.
• 3:19
  In fact, they rarely do. I most definitely did not
• 3:22
  foresee any of this ever ending. I don't think I'll ever fully
• 3:26
  get into every aspect of how this came to be, but it should
• 3:28
  be said that although this was not a mutual decision, I'm
• 3:31
  realizing that in the grand scheme of things, it might
• 3:34
  actually end up being the right one.
• 3:36
  And then she talked about how she's working on some of her own
• 3:39
  stuff moving forward. So that caused a lot of
• 3:43
  backlash, a lot of drama. The next day, Brianna posted her
• 3:47
  own statement about it on Instagram.
• 3:49
  She wrote, Hey guys, I just want to clear the air on things.
• 3:51
  Grace, I and the whole team have been well aware plan Bri has
• 3:54
  been over for months. Grace and I have been texting
• 3:56
  back and forth for months about making our announcement video
• 3:59
  together. But she's been busy with comedy
• 4:01
  and I've been busy with traveling for work.
• 4:03
  She means she was blindsided when I said I was working on
• 4:06
  bringing it back, which I was looking for talent to hold
• 4:09
  graces and eye spots, OK? Because I felt it was unfair to
• 4:14
  the listeners to leave you without a weekly listen.
• 4:17
  I started Plan Bri in my dorm room almost five years ago and
• 4:20
  could not have imagined what it would turn into.
• 4:22
  I didn't want what was built to completely leave you all.
• 4:25
  OK. So fans have found all of this
• 4:28
  really ironic because such a huge part of Brianna's breakup
• 4:32
  narrative with Zac Bryan was that he publicly shared on his
• 4:36
  Instagram story that they were broken up.
• 4:39
  And Brianna said she was blindsided that announcement.
• 4:42
  Like, obviously she knew they were broken up, but it only
• 4:45
  happened the day before. And she thought that they would
• 4:48
  talk about how they would release that, I guess, publicly
• 4:51
  together or she would at least be given some type of heads up.
• 4:55
  So everyone's like, that was such a big part of this, like
• 4:57
  Zach Bryan split narrative. And now it seems like she's
• 5:01
  basically done the same thing to Grace.
• 5:03
  I'm going to say from the way that Grace is talking about
• 5:07
  Brianna versus how Brianna's talking about Grace, it sounds
• 5:10
  like Grace is very much done. I think she needs a big break
• 5:13
  from this friendship. And I think Rihanna is just
• 5:18
  hoping that she can just kind of like, skate on by and like,
• 5:22
  everything will end up being fine.
• 5:24
  And that because they've been friends for so, so long, you
• 5:27
  know, this is just kind of like a rocky chapter for them.
• 5:29
  But once the podcast is like, fully, that chapter is fully
• 5:32
  closed, they can get their friendship back on track.
• 5:34
  But it seems like Grace, at least for now, is kind of
• 5:38
  standing up for herself for what seems like the first time in
• 5:40
  their friendship, at least publicly.
• 5:42
  So people are pretty proud of her for that.
• 5:44
  OK, the next story that I have for you guys is Hawk to a girl's
• 5:49
  new crypto coin is being accused of being a pump and dump scam.
• 5:54
  So Haley Welsh, who went viral as Hawk to a girl earlier this
• 5:58
  year, is under fire after launching a new cryptocurrency
• 6:01
  called Hawk. Haley launched it on Wednesday
• 6:04
  and within 20 minutes of launch the coin lost over 95% of its
• 6:10
  market cap. So its market cap was
• 6:12
  $490,000,000 and it plummeted to $60 million within 20 minutes.
• 6:17
  For all of the non crypto Bros here, myself included.
• 6:21
  Market cap is the total value of all the coins that have been
• 6:24
  mined. So it's calculated by
• 6:26
  multiplying the number of coins in circulation by the current
• 6:30
  market price of a single one of those coins.
• 6:33
  Coins with higher market cap are considered lower risk.
• 6:37
  What that means is basically everyone who invested in the
• 6:40
  coin lost tons of money almost immediately.
• 6:44
  Tons of crypto journalists are calling this like the worst
• 6:49
  crypto launch possibly of all time.
• 6:51
  So now crypto journalists are calling this entire thing a pump
• 6:55
  and dump scheme or like a rug pull scheme.
• 6:58
  The reason being, I mean, there's several reasons.
• 7:00
  One of the major reasons being that pre launch a lot of these
• 7:06
  journalists and people that are just really into crypto did some
• 7:09
  sleuthing, looked into it. I guess it's, you know, it's not
• 7:11
  hard to find. And they found that it seems
• 7:14
  like Haley and the team behind the coin gave insiders coins,
• 7:19
  like gifted them coins in advance of the coin going
• 7:22
  public. So in a community note on X
• 7:26
  about the launch of this coin, it was like a video of Haley
• 7:28
  being like my coins going to launch whatever.
• 7:30
  Somebody wrote a community note that said 96% of the hawk supply
• 7:34
  is in 10 connected addresses before the launch.
• 7:37
  And then they cited the source. So what it seems has happened.
• 7:41
  And I guess you can see this in crypto.
• 7:43
  OK, I've we've talked about crypto pump and dump before in
• 7:47
  relation to influencers. This is absolutely like not my
• 7:49
  first time looking into this and reporting on it.
• 7:51
  But you know, it's still not like my Forte.
• 7:53
  It's still not my expertise, but I guess with crypto, the point
• 7:57
  is on the blockchain, like you can see everything, right?
• 7:59
  That's like the transparency element of it.
• 8:03
  And so I guess based on various crypto wallets associated with
• 8:06
  Haley and her team, it seems like they sold their coin on
• 8:11
  launch. So this is similar to a classic
• 8:13
  influencer pump and dump scheme where an influencer buys up some
• 8:17
  coin. Although in this case,
• 8:18
  presumably they didn't buy it, they were just given it, buys up
• 8:21
  some coin, promotes that coin on their social media, their
• 8:25
  followers buy the coin. This influx of purchase inflates
• 8:28
  the price of the coin and then the influencer cashes out with
• 8:33
  all of their followers money when the coins value is really
• 8:36
  really high. And then of course the coins
• 8:38
  value starts to go down as an influencer or multiple
• 8:42
  influencers who are doing this all in conjunction with each
• 8:44
  other. That's happened a couple times
• 8:46
  too. They start selling their coin,
• 8:47
  so then the value goes down, everyone starts panic selling it
• 8:51
  off and then basically the coins value is like in the tanks and
• 8:54
  their followers have lost a ton of their investment.
• 8:57
  So what people see has happened with Hawk to a Girl is similar
• 9:01
  to that, although this was like a launch.
• 9:03
  So instead of like promoting an existing coin, they were just
• 9:05
  promoting a coin that they were about to launch.
• 9:07
  A bunch of insiders already had that coin and then tons of
• 9:11
  people bought it and then those insiders allegedly sold it off.
• 9:14
  Another issue that people have is with the fees.
• 9:17
  So the fees to buy the coin, like the transaction fee was so
• 9:21
  high. So I guess typically if you're
• 9:22
  launching a new coin, you want to build that trust.
• 9:25
  You want people to, you know, like spend as much money as they
• 9:29
  can on the actual coin itself so you make the fees as low as
• 9:33
  possible possible rather than their money getting eaten up by
• 9:35
  fees. Hawk coin charges 15% as a fee.
• 9:40
  So if you invested $30,000, which people did people some
• 9:44
  people invested their life savings into Hawk Tua's meme
• 9:49
  cryptocurrency coin. OK, if you invested $30,000 then
• 9:52
  4500 of that would be taken away by these fees that are basically
• 9:58
  paid to the company that owns the coin.
• 10:01
  And the team behind the Hawk coins said that they set these
• 10:04
  fees high to avoid sniping. Which in crypto just means bots
• 10:08
  that flood a new coin and buy up a ton of it really really
• 10:12
  quickly to profit off of a trending coin.
• 10:16
  Obviously if the fees are higher, I guess in theory that
• 10:18
  means the bots are less likely or like someone's less likely to
• 10:20
  snipe that coin. However, the thing here is that
• 10:25
  there were snipers, but crypto journalists have found that the
• 10:30
  snipers didn't profit nearly as much as the hawk to a team
• 10:34
  itself. So I guess the hawk to a team
• 10:37
  made nearly $2,000,000 from these fees alone.
• 10:41
  Haley has denied these claims. She says neither she nor her
• 10:44
  team sold tokens and that no influencers received free coins.
• 10:49
  Although like I said, a bunch of crypto journalists are like,
• 10:51
  that's objectively untrue. Like, you can see that in crypto
• 10:54
  wallets. I don't know.
• 10:56
  This is just me relaying what other people are saying.
• 10:58
  OK. And there was this absolutely
• 11:01
  insane Twitter Spaces conversation after all of this
• 11:05
  happened where Haley and the man who basically helped her bring
• 11:08
  this coin to life named Doc Hollywood, addressed concerns.
• 11:13
  And he just like fought with crypto journalists and crypto
• 11:16
  Bros the whole time. I can't even describe how crazy
• 11:19
  this conversation was because it was basically just Doc Hollywood
• 11:23
  like yelling into I presume his phone like the spaces, the
• 11:27
  Twitter spaces conversation yelling at these people who were
• 11:31
  questioning them. He called people who are really
• 11:33
  into crypto mentally ill. He said the coins audience was
• 11:37
  not intended to be people that are well versed in crypto or
• 11:41
  crypto Bros, but actually just regular people who had not
• 11:44
  invested in crypto before. Which is just like a huge red
• 11:47
  flag. You're literally just admitting
• 11:49
  that you are praying on people that don't quite understand how
• 11:52
  crypto works because you're hoping to get like first time
• 11:55
  buyers. And he just completely avoided
• 11:57
  the questions or like deflected the questions about where the
• 12:01
  money from the 15% fees actually went.
• 12:04
  Like where that money went to. He eventually said it went to
• 12:07
  the foundation that started the coin and when pressed on who
• 12:11
  owns that foundation and what the foundation needs like nearly
• 12:15
  $2,000,000 for, he deflected and wouldn't give a proper answer.
• 12:20
  He said Haley does not own the foundation.
• 12:21
  He says no, I don't own the foundation.
• 12:23
  The foundation is set up in The Cave and islands and it's a
• 12:26
  foundation. Like he just kept saying like
• 12:28
  it's a foundation like as if like nobody owns a foundation.
• 12:31
  And during this Haley was on it but she basically didn't speak.
• 12:33
  And I saw one Internet culture reporter say that it was almost
• 12:38
  like her voice was AI. They like they weren't even sure
• 12:41
  if she was actually on the call. And when she was asked directly
• 12:44
  herself where the money went, she said she was going to bed
• 12:47
  and then signed off. So I know I'm kind of laughing.
• 12:50
  This is just so like, this is one of the biggest messes we
• 12:55
  have seen in crypto in the influencer crypto space.
• 12:58
  Maybe ever. I'm going to say maybe ever.
• 13:01
  This is so predatory. I feel so bad for the people
• 13:05
  that put money into this. I understand there's tons of
• 13:08
  jokes like haktua, OK? Like, come on, really?
• 13:12
  You're going to buy like a Haktua coin?
• 13:14
  Like you're going to put like thousands and thousands of
• 13:16
  dollars, like your life savings into a Haktua cryptocurrency.
• 13:22
  I get that there's a lot of discussion about how like people
• 13:24
  that invested in this, like deserve to lose their money, but
• 13:27
  I just think no one deserves to lose their money.
• 13:30
  And if you listen to this Twitter Spaces, you will hear
• 13:35
  how like scummy and how intentionally scammy at least
• 13:41
  Doc Hollywood is. And not to bring it back to like
• 13:44
  cost of living and shit, but you know, if you maybe don't have a
• 13:48
  ton of financial literacy or like crypto literacy and I don't
• 13:53
  know, you're being told that this new coin, like it's a great
• 13:57
  investment. I'm not sure.
• 13:59
  I'm not sure the claims that they were making, but you know,
• 14:01
  in theory, the point is that it's like playing the stock
• 14:04
  market. It's like gambling, right?
• 14:05
  And like hoping to make more money back.
• 14:07
  Like we have seen or we do know of people that have made lots of
• 14:10
  money in crypto. So I'm not saying you should
• 14:13
  invest in crypto, but I'm saying, you know, they're like,
• 14:16
  we're in like a really fucking bad, difficult place right now,
• 14:20
  like financially around the world.
• 14:22
  And they and they essentially said they were targeting people
• 14:26
  that would fall for this. I think instead of blaming the
• 14:29
  people that put their money in like we need to look at this at
• 14:33
  a larger scale. This has happened now so many
• 14:35
  times. We're like a really big
• 14:37
  influencer or a group of influencers promotes
• 14:40
  cryptocurrency and their followers lose money.
• 14:42
  So this is like a recurring scam that is happening in the digital
• 14:46
  space and we need to find ways to like truly educate the
• 14:52
  average consumer who maybe is not super online.
• 14:56
  Like all of you guys listening to this podcast are relatively
• 14:59
  online, or at least you're interested in staying up to date
• 15:01
  with what's happening online. If you were just like a regular
• 15:04
  person and you kind of peripherally know of the hawk to
• 15:07
  a meme because she was literally all over mainstream media, like
• 15:10
  you could not escape her. She was she was an online meme
• 15:14
  that went mainstream. So you know, you found out about
• 15:17
  her. You thought she's like cute,
• 15:18
  funny, whatever. Obviously her audience, I should
• 15:20
  also say, are mostly men. Like she got famous from
• 15:24
  obviously kind of like a sex joke.
• 15:25
  And then instead of becoming like a lifestyle influencer,
• 15:29
  like she has decided that she's going down that kind of like red
• 15:31
  pilled manosphere route as a woman.
• 15:36
  And so most of her followers are men.
• 15:39
  They might not know the people that invested in this, whether
• 15:42
  they're a man or a woman. Like they might not know about
• 15:45
  cryptocurrency scams. They might not know that this
• 15:48
  has happened to several other influencers before.
• 15:50
  Like they if you are not like super online and keeping up with
• 15:54
  this stuff, I don't know how you would know.
• 15:56
  It's not really mainstream news quite yet.
• 15:58
  This is definitely like this Haley situation definitely is
• 16:02
  becoming mainstream news. It is mainstream news because
• 16:06
  it's like one of the biggest instances.
• 16:08
  It's like so blatant and it's like her own coin.
• 16:10
  It's not her promoting like someone else's coin.
• 16:13
  But yeah, there needs to be way more digital literacy around
• 16:17
  cryptocurrency, NFTS, these kinds of like online scams.
• 16:21
  Because if you're not like in the space, you have no idea.
• 16:24
  And even me like being in the space, like I understand the
• 16:27
  scams can happen and stuff. But like I reported on this kind
• 16:31
  of stuff, like I said so many times and even I was like
• 16:33
  reading so many articles, watching so many videos about
• 16:36
  this being like, I don't even know if I fully grasp what has
• 16:40
  happened here. You know, like it's all very
• 16:42
  like convoluted. And that is actually what some
• 16:44
  of the crypto journalists that I was following, you know, who
• 16:47
  were reporting on this story were saying.
• 16:48
  Like part of it is that we use all these like complicated words
• 16:52
  and it's like word salad when you're listening to people talk
• 16:55
  about cryptocurrency and it feels way more sophisticated
• 16:58
  than it actually is. And that makes it seem like more
• 17:01
  legitimate, quote UN quote. And that can be super deceiving.
• 17:05
  So there are still a lot of questions about how involved
• 17:08
  Haley actually is in the coin coffee.
• 17:11
  Zilla, who is a YouTube that's been reporting on this, he got a
• 17:14
  message from Haley's entertainment lawyer saying that
• 17:18
  she was paid, I think it was like $125,000 to initially do
• 17:22
  the promo for it, like put her face on it.
• 17:24
  And then she was supposed to get, sorry, I didn't write it
• 17:27
  down. So this might be slightly off,
• 17:28
  but she was supposed to get I think 50% of like profits or
• 17:33
  whatever. I guess from the fees, you know,
• 17:35
  that he kept being like, where are the fees?
• 17:37
  Like going to like he was one of them.
• 17:38
  That was like yelling at them on spaces.
• 17:40
  Like answer my question. This lawyer said that she has
• 17:43
  not received any money yet. So I'll keep you guys posted if
• 17:46
  there's any major developments. I mean, I think there is going
• 17:49
  to be some type of like, legal at least, like investigation.
• 17:53
  I'm not sure about ramifications, but at least an
• 17:55
  investigation. All right, the next word that I
• 17:57
  have for you guys, this is a quick one, but Tricia Paytas was
• 18:02
  on SNL this weekend. OK.
• 18:06
  I don't know. This is like so crazy, you guys.
• 18:08
  I know you guys understand how wild this is, but Tricia
• 18:11
  appeared in a skit about Spotify Wrapped this weekend on SNL
• 18:15
  alongside Bowen Yang and Paul Mezcal.
• 18:19
  Like, what the hell? And obviously like other SNL
• 18:21
  stars now, this is obviously huge regardless for an Internet
• 18:26
  celebrity to make it somewhere that feels like so traditional,
• 18:29
  like SNL, like SNL is constantly being criticized for like not
• 18:33
  coming into the modern age and just kind of being a little bit
• 18:38
  on the back foot with that kind of stuff.
• 18:40
  So, but also what fans really can't get over is that three
• 18:44
  years ago on an episode of Frenemies, Ethan Klein told
• 18:47
  Trisha that he would come off his whole arm if Tricia ever got
• 18:52
  an SNL, obviously implying that he thought, you know, she would
• 18:55
  never get an opportunity like that.
• 18:57
  So everybody's making like compilations on TikTok and
• 19:00
  Twitter just being like, Can you believe like they had this exact
• 19:04
  conversation? Ethan did not believe in her
• 19:07
  whatsoever. And three years later, she made
• 19:10
  it happen. The next story that I have for
• 19:12
  you guys is the US TikTok ban was upheld in court as of
• 19:18
  December 6th on Friday. So on Friday a US appeals court
• 19:22
  upheld the federal TikTok ban. What that means now is basically
• 19:28
  bite Dance which is Tik Toks parent company has until January
• 19:32
  19th of like 2025 to sell the app to AUS entity or to be
• 19:39
  banned just in the US. So this is directly from Forbes
• 19:42
  quote. TikTok argued the ban infringes
• 19:45
  on the company's First Amendment rights and divesting from Byte
• 19:48
  Dance is not possible technologically, commercially or
• 19:51
  legally. While the government maintained
• 19:53
  the ban was essential for national security, though the
• 19:56
  specific evidence to justify that is under seal and was not
• 19:59
  publicly released, The court ruled the federal government did
• 20:03
  not violate Tik Tok's First Amendment rights.
• 20:05
  Because the law doesn't target any specific speech on TikTok,
• 20:09
  noting that if TikTok just divested itself from Bite Dance,
• 20:12
  the quote new owners could circulate the same mix of
• 20:15
  content as before without running.
• 20:17
  A fool of the ACT. A foul, a fool, a fool, a foul
• 20:23
  of the act and ultimately ruling that the federal government's
• 20:26
  aim and banning TikTok is ending for an adversary control, not
• 20:30
  content censorship. OK, so I don't think I have
• 20:33
  personally digested what this could mean yet.
• 20:37
  I mean, aside from the impacts on US creators, US small
• 20:40
  businesses. Like, we know how powerful
• 20:43
  TikTok has been in just like changing people's lives,
• 20:46
  changing businesses, building businesses.
• 20:50
  They're all going to lose out the most.
• 20:51
  But this will also have such a significant impact on Internet
• 20:55
  culture. This will set, I think, a very
• 20:59
  scary precedent. You know, it feels kind of like
• 21:03
  bite dances being bullied into selling their biggest money
• 21:07
  maker. I think it's their biggest money
• 21:08
  maker, at least, you know, to a foreign entity, because the USI
• 21:15
  know they're saying security. I know they're saying a lot of
• 21:17
  different things, but at the end of the day, they want control of
• 21:20
  TikTok because TikTok is so incredibly powerful.
• 21:23
  Whether it's because of the security issues or it's because
• 21:26
  of what it's teaching its population, I don't know, but
• 21:32
  it's pretty freaking wild. Now, the law doesn't enforce
• 21:36
  anyone to remove it from its phones.
• 21:38
  It basically just means that the app won't be allowed on Apple or
• 21:41
  Google app stores anymore. And this means that eventually
• 21:45
  the app will stop working because you won't be able to
• 21:48
  download new updates. OK, the next word that I have
• 21:51
  for you guys is I need us to talk about the Like a Prayer
• 21:54
  Pepe the Prawn meme. So the latest trend to sweep
• 21:58
  TikTok is The Muppets Pepe the Prawn meme.
• 22:00
  This meme shows The Muppets character paired with really
• 22:03
  hilarious or embarrassing or unhinged stories that have
• 22:07
  happened to users. And this meme is set to
• 22:11
  Madonna's song Like a Prayer. That sentence itself would have
• 22:14
  literally put a Victorian child into a coma.
• 22:18
  The meme started in late November when creator Katie
• 22:20
  Klein, 21, posted a series of memes using Pepe the prawns
• 22:24
  blank stare. The 2nd meme that she made,
• 22:28
  which read the face I make when I'm trying to maintain great
• 22:31
  customer service while getting screamed at, went viral with 3
• 22:34
  million views in just a week. And that's the one that kind of
• 22:37
  kicked users off to like using this specific image of Pepe the
• 22:40
  prawn and putting text over it and then setting it to that
• 22:44
  song. This has like really snowballed.
• 22:46
  Like some of them are just like single slides or double sides,
• 22:49
  but now there are several that are going super, super viral
• 22:52
  where it's like a full storytelling experience.
• 22:56
  And each new slide is like a zooming in closer and closer and
• 22:59
  closer to Pepe. I was going to say Pepe the pig,
• 23:02
  Pepe the prawns face. So some of the most popular ones
• 23:05
  right now. There's one where a creator
• 23:07
  shared a story about a time that she made a homemade olive oil
• 23:11
  hair mask and it led to this series of like absolutely crazy
• 23:15
  and like high key dangerous events.
• 23:18
  And there's another of a girl who accidentally branded her
• 23:21
  sorority house the vegetable sorority and like ruined her
• 23:26
  sorority's reputation, ruined the recruitment process for
• 23:30
  years to come. It would be too long for me to
• 23:32
  like go into these stories. But if you type in olive oil
• 23:35
  story on TikTok or like the vegetable sorority house, like
• 23:38
  you will find these stories. OK.
• 23:40
  And the last story that I have for you guys.
• 23:41
  Another really quick one, but Brekie Hill has addressed the
• 23:44
  Barry Keegan cheating rumors. OK, I don't know.
• 23:47
  Is it Keegan? Is it Kiogan?
• 23:49
  I've heard so many people say it different ways.
• 23:51
  The first time I said it, I said it Keegan.
• 23:53
  And then the next day I was like I think I said it wrong because
• 23:55
  I heard everyone saying Kiogan and then the other day I heard
• 23:58
  them say Keegan. I'm like I'm confused.
• 24:00
  You know Sabrina Carpenters ex that's like who he is to me.
• 24:04
  So Breckie Hill, she was the influencer who was accused of
• 24:06
  having an affair with Barry when he was dating Sabrina Carpenter.
• 24:10
  She has spoken out and denied the rumors.
• 24:12
  She said she's never met Barry before and the only reason why
• 24:15
  she reposted like she was reposting videos that were like
• 24:18
  saying that she cheated with him.
• 24:20
  She was like, I just reposted this like one video about the
• 24:23
  accusation because I thought it was kind of crazy.
• 24:26
  And then all of this just like snowballed.
• 24:28
  I know he also made a statement too.
• 24:30
  And then I think he deleted his Instagram for a period of time.
• 24:33
  Oh and also Bach Fest did happen and they crowned a winner and he
• 24:39
  does actually kind of look like Bach.
• 24:42
