  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 every Monday
• 0:38
  through Thursday and sometimes Fridays.
• 0:40
  I'm your host, Lauren Meissner, the founder of the youth digital
• 0:44
  media brand Centennial World. Welcome back to Mini scroll,
• 0:48
  everyone. All right, I have no updates for
• 0:51
  you guys today. So before we get into it, Please
• 0:54
  remember to rate, review and subscribe.
• 0:56
  Please Spotify star rate US. We're trying to get to 1000
• 0:58
  Spotify star ratings by the end of the year.
• 1:01
  OK, the first actual story that I have for you guys is that
• 1:04
  Brianna chicken fry has brought back plan.
• 1:07
  Brianna cut her podcast and in the 1st episode she is addressed
• 1:11
  if she thinks she'll ever be friends with Grace O'Malley
• 1:14
  again. So following the friendship
• 1:15
  breakup between Brianna Chicken Fry and Grace O'Malley, their
• 1:18
  joint podcast plan Bree Uncut is back with Brianna Solo at the
• 1:23
  helm. To be clear, the podcast was
• 1:26
  Brianna's podcast to begin with and then she added Grace as a
• 1:29
  permanent Co host, kind of like Cancelled with Tana Mojo and
• 1:33
  then how she added Brooke as a permanent Co host later on.
• 1:36
  But it is those additions to the podcast like Grace and Brooke
• 1:40
  that really turned Cancelled and Plan Brie into the phenomenons
• 1:44
  that they were anyway. So they had this massive falling
• 1:47
  out. I covered it tons last year.
• 1:49
  I can't believe it's been a year actually.
• 1:50
  I should say I was trying to figure out like why did they
• 1:53
  break up in the 1st place? Like, why did they stop being
• 1:55
  friends? I couldn't even remember it.
• 1:56
  And then when I was like, reading articles about it, I was
• 1:59
  like, Oh my God, that was this time last year.
• 2:01
  Time flies. Like, I cannot believe it's been
• 2:03
  a year. But yeah.
• 2:04
  So this time last year, they had a massive falling out.
• 2:07
  And their podcast ended. And Brianna has said since then
• 2:11
  that the main reason their friendship ended was because of
• 2:14
  her relationship with Zach Bryan, which obviously has also
• 2:17
  ended. So following their friendship
• 2:18
  breakup and the end of their podcast, Grace was then picked
• 2:22
  up for a solo podcast by the Unwell Network.
• 2:25
  And Bri has been influencing and doing BFFS podcast.
• 2:29
  As far as I can tell. And I don't know if you guys
• 2:31
  saw, but there was a TikTok of a girl and maybe it was on Reddit,
• 2:34
  I can't remember. There was something going around
• 2:36
  where somebody was like, I'm at the BFFS like live tour and it's
• 2:40
  so empty. There's like 50 people here.
• 2:43
  There's rows and rows and rows that are empty.
• 2:45
  Like it's so cringe. And I actually do believe that
• 2:47
  like Brianna and Grace pulled in massive crowds for their tour.
• 2:51
  And I believe Brianna would pull in massive crowds if she did her
• 2:54
  own tour for Sanbury. But like, is anybody an actual
• 2:57
  stand of BFFSI don't know? I don't think so.
• 3:00
  Like they're irrelevant podcasts for sure, and they're quite
• 3:03
  buzzy, but I don't know if people are like stands of them.
• 3:06
  So anyways, today Brianna brought back.
• 3:09
  Oh my God, this is a tongue twister plan.
• 3:11
  Bree with the first episode of the podcast since October 10th
• 3:16
  of last year. And in her first episode back,
• 3:18
  she talks about if she can see herself becoming friends with
• 3:21
  Grace again. Was Do you think you and Grace
• 3:22
  will ever be friends again? Am I honest answer to that?
• 3:28
  Like right now my quick answer would be no, genuinely don't
• 3:32
  think we'll ever be friends again.
• 3:35
  I just think that that bond was what kept us best friends and
• 3:40
  there's no way to ever get back to that level of friendship with
• 3:48
  what we went through online behind closed doors in real
• 3:52
  life. Like there's just no way to
• 3:55
  reach that level of friendship again.
• 3:57
  And we aren't the type of people that would just be like high and
• 4:03
  by friends, you know, like there's so much history and it's
• 4:05
  sad to lose someone that you're friends with for 15 years like
• 4:10
  this. Hard to navigate, to be honest,
• 4:15
  of like that person that you thought you could tell
• 4:19
  everything and trust and that would always have your back, you
• 4:21
  know, and then like to have a falling out and realize, OK,
• 4:25
  maybe this person, this relationship isn't what I
• 4:30
  thought it was. This is really sad.
• 4:32
  I'm not surprised that she feels like they couldn't be friends
• 4:34
  again. I'm sure some of you guys have
• 4:35
  had really major friendship break UPS like this.
• 4:38
  I have had some of these, not necessarily like falling out,
• 4:42
  but just kind of drifting away from someone who was like the
• 4:45
  closest person to you at one point.
• 4:47
  And it's so sad, but it's so true.
• 4:49
  Like having that, that amount of history with somebody, it feels
• 4:52
  honestly impossible to have a relationship with them again
• 4:54
  unless you got back to that place.
• 4:56
  And it would take so much to get back to that place.
• 4:59
  OK, the next story that I have for you guys is I'm going to
• 5:01
  break down the like food review talk drama going on between this
• 5:06
  Arizona bakery and this food reviewer, Glamorama.
• 5:10
  So it all starts on October 7th when food creator Aurora Griffo,
• 5:14
  who is known as Glamorama on TikTok, posted a review of JL
• 5:18
  Patisserie in Scottsdale, Arizona.
• 5:20
  In her video, Aurora said she didn't quote mind spending $10
• 5:24
  on a pastry if they were really good.
• 5:26
  But you cannot use fake ass ingredients.
• 5:29
  She pointed to the pistachio fillings color.
• 5:32
  She commented on the bakeries coffee and pricing, and she
• 5:35
  called the quiche crust disappointing quote.
• 5:39
  All of that being said, I think if you stay away from the
• 5:41
  expensive ingredients, you can definitely enjoy a delicious
• 5:44
  rich pastry here. She said.
• 5:47
  OK, so her video initially didn't really get a lot of
• 5:49
  engagement, but then the bakery responded.
• 5:54
  In a TikTok video, the bakery CEO Jenna claims that Aurora had
• 5:58
  previously asked to collaborate with the bakery but was quote
• 6:03
  respectfully declined due to budget limits.
• 6:06
  She further alleged that Aurora quote try to blackmail us by
• 6:09
  saying if we offered the food for free, she would write a good
• 6:12
  review about us. And she said the influencer,
• 6:15
  despite them saying no, showed up the next day anyway.
• 6:18
  So we recently had an influencer reach out to us and asked to do
• 6:22
  a collaboration and we respectfully declined because it
• 6:26
  was not in our budget right now. Then she essentially tried to
• 6:28
  blackmail us by saying if we offered the food for free she
• 6:31
  would then write a good review about us.
• 6:33
  I told her I would think about it but she still came in the
• 6:35
  next and although we hadn't agreed to collab with her, we
• 6:40
  recognized her when she came in and we still were very
• 6:43
  accommodating and offered her extra drinks.
• 6:46
  So we totally respect a bad review, but what we don't like
• 6:49
  is lying and bullying. The first thing she said was
• 6:52
  that our pistachio was so faked. Fun facts, we have right here
• 6:58
  our pistachio paste that is 100% pistachios from Italy.
• 7:02
  All of our flowers that we use in our product, the Farin EE
• 7:06
  Port Gruy Rouge all comes on the pallet from Europe.
• 7:10
  And this isn't just about me, this specific influencer has
• 7:13
  gone to many different local restaurant and bullied them.
• 7:17
  The problem is if the next generation is influenced by her
• 7:20
  to believe it's OK to bully and disrespect the food industry.
• 7:24
  We like working with influencers, but acting like the
• 7:27
  working class is beneath you and promoting this kind of message
• 7:30
  on social media and bribing us for free stuff is not really
• 7:34
  something we support. So this video, you guys, has
• 7:37
  gone proper viral. Like we talk about viral.
• 7:40
  This has over 57.1 million views and it is not slowing down.
• 7:47
  So as you can imagine, even though Aurora's initial review,
• 7:50
  it was like a little bit shady, right?
• 7:52
  It wasn't like super positive. It didn't get a lot of views.
• 7:56
  This just exploded. So everyone's going to Aurora's
• 7:59
  page then. So she felt like she needed to
• 8:01
  respond, I assume. God damn, someone finally stood
• 8:04
  up to me. You know I gotta say fucking
• 8:06
  kudos for real. I respect that.
• 8:08
  I do. What I don't respect are the
• 8:10
  lies. So here are the receipts.
• 8:13
  You want the truth, you can't handle the truth.
• 8:15
  I never said that I would leave a good review for a free meal.
• 8:19
  I have never done that and I will never do that.
• 8:21
  So I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that I was
• 8:23
  bullying you. You have way more followers than
• 8:25
  I do. You are way cooler than I am.
• 8:27
  I will admit that like I would love to have the online presence
• 8:30
  that you do so if anything, you're kind of punching down.
• 8:33
  My video got what like 7400, I think maybe 12,013 thousand on
• 8:39
  Instagram. It didn't do great.
• 8:41
  I also said nice things in that video.
• 8:42
  I actually do think if you stay away from the nuts, if you're
• 8:45
  like me that don't like that fake pistachio flavor, I still
• 8:48
  have one of your other pastries here.
• 8:49
  Well, this one's a pistachio, so it hasn't been eaten yet, but
• 8:52
  the pumpkin one that I loved and raged about, I'm not
• 8:55
  exaggerating. I ate it about two hours ago and
• 8:58
  I will say it's been frozen for days since Saturday.
• 9:00
  Pulled it out after about 30 minutes.
• 9:02
  It was still phenomenal and I'll stand by that.
• 9:04
  We also didn't get free drinks. We did get a free shot of
• 9:08
  espresso, which was so nice. Like the French man that works
• 9:10
  there. He was the sweetest man ever.
• 9:12
  I said I liked my coffee strong. He sent out a free shot of
• 9:15
  espresso that was so, so nice. Regardless, Jenna, I respect
• 9:19
  your balls. I do respect your talent.
• 9:21
  It may not be always my taste, but I do respect your talent.
• 9:24
  However, yesterday Aurora returned to TikTok with an
• 9:27
  apology and she deleted all of her previous posts so this is
• 9:31
  what she said. Hey everyone, first and foremost
• 9:33
  I want to address the fake ass ingredients comment.
• 9:36
  When I tasted the pistachio pastry, I noticed a strong
• 9:39
  pistachio flavor that reminded me of extract or flavoring, so I
• 9:42
  assumed that's what was used to enhance the taste.
• 9:45
  Maybe was added, maybe it wasn't.
• 9:47
  But I want to be clear, they do use real ingredients as well and
• 9:50
  I should have been more thoughtful in my wording.
• 9:52
  I also want to clarify something really important.
• 9:55
  My review is not revenge for being turned down for a
• 9:58
  collaboration. I had already planned to visit
• 10:00
  and review the bakery regardless, paid or not, but I
• 10:03
  understand how things unfolded. It may have looked like I did it
• 10:06
  out of spite. That's not who I am and that was
• 10:08
  never my intention. For those who followed me for a
• 10:11
  while, you know I always give honest reviews, good or bad.
• 10:13
  But I also understand that honesty without how compassion
• 10:16
  can come across the wrong way. When the collaboration didn't
• 10:18
  work out, I completely respected and went in as a regular paying
• 10:21
  customer. My goal was still to give an
• 10:23
  honest review, but I see how that message followed by a
• 10:27
  negative video made it seem like I only wanted free food or felt
• 10:31
  entitled, and that's not true. That was never my mindset and I
• 10:34
  truly regret it ever came across that way.
• 10:36
  To the bakery. I'm sincerely sorry for any harm
• 10:38
  my words may have caused. I respect the time, effort and
• 10:41
  heart that goes into running a small business and I genuinely
• 10:44
  wish you nothing but success moving forward.
• 10:46
  OK so then People magazine got involved.
• 10:50
  They wanted to write about this, so they reached out to the
• 10:52
  bakery for comment and this is what the CEO said to them.
• 10:56
  This is insane. Like what is going on?
• 10:58
  I mean, it went so viral. I guess that's why this is what
• 11:01
  the CEO said. I did not want to target hate
• 11:03
  toward a single individual. We did not include her name in
• 11:06
  our video, which is true. They didn't name her.
• 11:08
  My message was to stand up against this type of behavior
• 11:11
  and highlight the dangers of what influencing can mean on
• 11:13
  social media. I want to defend the product I'm
• 11:16
  proud of and my amazing team that works hard to craft it.
• 11:19
  We've seen so many instances where somebody makes a review,
• 11:22
  they don't even need to have followers anymore, right?
• 11:24
  Like with TikTok, things can just like go viral.
• 11:27
  People make a video and it goes so viral and then a small
• 11:30
  business or whatever is under fire and people are just sending
• 11:34
  them hate without knowing any of the story by just like blindly
• 11:37
  believing creators or people. And I know it's because we all
• 11:41
  have like corporation trauma, like we collectively hate
• 11:45
  corporations because of what they've done to us.
• 11:47
  And so we're obviously like most of us are inclined to side with
• 11:52
  an individual over a brand, a corporation, a company.
• 11:55
  This small business is obviously not like a corporation.
• 11:58
  And I don't know if they were getting hate.
• 12:00
  Like I said, Aurora's initial video did not have a lot of
• 12:03
  views. It did not have a lot of
• 12:04
  engagement in comparison. But now I feel like the reverse
• 12:07
  is happening where, you know, Aurora has in theory taking
• 12:12
  accountability. I don't know, I guess it depends
• 12:14
  how you see it. And I feel like at this point,
• 12:16
  because it went so viral, it doesn't have 1 million views, 2
• 12:20
  million views. It has almost 60 million views.
• 12:22
  And I feel like I almost 60 million views of people being
• 12:25
  against you. Maybe you have learned your
• 12:27
  lesson. And I actually think the bakery
• 12:30
  will probably private their video now that she's made this
• 12:33
  proper apology. OK, the last story that I have
• 12:36
  for you guys, this is such a happy one.
• 12:38
  But Coltie Youtubers Dan and Phil have revealed that they've
• 12:42
  been in a relationship secretly for the last 16 years.
• 12:45
  Well secretly depends on how you see it.
• 12:48
  So Dan and Phil are OG youtubers.
• 12:51
  They started posting on YouTube together in 2009.
• 12:54
  Their handles were Dan is not on fire and Amazing Phil.
• 12:57
  Those were their original channel names and they were
• 13:00
  adjacent to the Brit crew for much of their early career.
• 13:04
  Over the years they developed a very culty following the two of
• 13:08
  them and their friendship and people shipped them romantically
• 13:12
  all the way back then. Because of this, they also
• 13:14
  became very famous on Tumblr. They launched a joint channel in
• 13:18
  2014 and they came out separately in 2019, but still
• 13:23
  had never confirmed that anything was going on between
• 13:26
  them until now. Today they uploaded a video
• 13:29
  admitting that yes, they have been in a relationship with each
• 13:32
  other for a whole 16 years. Stan Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr are
• 13:36
  losing their minds. Everyone is so excited.
• 13:40
  There's also tons of people that are like, oh, I thought that we
• 13:42
  knew this already. Like I thought that this had
• 13:44
  been confirmed. But I think the Internet just
• 13:47
  shipped them so hard for so long.
• 13:50
  And when they both came out separately in 2019, people were
• 13:54
  like, OK, obviously they must be together, but they had never
• 13:57
  confirmed it and now they did. And to keep their relationship
• 14:00
  essentially under wraps like that for 16 years is quite the
• 14:04
  feat. So good for them.
• 14:05
  Anyways guys that's it for mini scroll today.
• 14:07
  Thank you so much for listening. I love you guys.
• 14:10
  Please remember to rate, review and subscribe.
• 14:12
  Annabelle will talk to you guys tomorrow and then I will talk to
