  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
  If you guys are watching this on video, you will see our
• 0:24
  beautiful gingerbread house that me and the team made today.
• 0:28
  There was a competition in the kitchen today, this afternoon,
• 0:32
  and we really went for it and I think we might win.
• 0:36
  I'll keep you guys posted. It's adding to the festive vibes
• 0:39
  you guys can't see. But we have like fairy lights,
• 0:41
  like Christmas lights up all in the office and it's feeling a
• 0:44
  little bit cozy and Christmassy. All right, let's just get into
• 0:47
  the stories for today. So the first story that I have
• 0:51
  for you guys is that Ethan Klein has reacted to Trisha Paytas on
• 0:56
  SNL. So as expected, after Tricia
• 0:59
  made her appearance on SNL last week, Ethan has now reacted.
• 1:03
  Now the reason why people were waiting for Ethan to react is
• 1:06
  because on an episode of Frenemies, Ethan said that he
• 1:09
  would cut off his arm if Tricia was ever on SNL, obviously
• 1:13
  implying he thought that would never happen.
• 1:15
  So here's what he said. I.
• 1:16
  Got to apologize to Tricia because it seems like that her
• 1:20
  big moment is become more about me saying I cut my arm off that
• 1:24
  about her achievement. And I'm not even saying that
• 1:26
  like I don't think I'm even exaggerating.
• 1:28
  People magazine did a headline. I think you make a decent point
• 1:32
  though about it's sort of a stealing the Thunder a little
• 1:36
  bit. I hadn't thought about that, but
• 1:37
  you're. Right, all the.
• 1:38
  Headlines are about her relation to you instead of just
• 1:41
  celebrating her SO. Just to defend myself a little
• 1:44
  bit, I know it wasn't very specific, but I think the
• 1:47
  implication obviously and again, not to take anything from her
• 1:50
  and you can have my arm. Is that she would be a guest
• 1:54
  host. Not do like a 10 second cameo.
• 1:57
  Semantics. No, that is not semantic.
• 2:00
  Doing a guest host versus doing like I said, she would be on it.
• 2:04
  You're right. She said on it, but she.
• 2:08
  Is on it. As you can imagine, people are
• 2:10
  not super down for this reaction.
• 2:14
  It was a little bit shady and a lot of fans feel like he was
• 2:17
  really downplaying this accomplishment for her and he
• 2:20
  was just being like a little bit salty.
• 2:22
  However, he did follow the statements up right after by
• 2:25
  talking about how like everyone always thinks he's not happy for
• 2:28
  Tricia. And he was like, I would love to
• 2:30
  be her friend again. But it's like Moses that is
• 2:34
  obviously putting this wedge between them.
• 2:36
  He said his issue was with Moses.
• 2:38
  If you guys don't know, Moses has some allegations against
• 2:43
  him. And obviously Ethan is married
• 2:44
  to Moses's sister. He last.
• 2:46
  So there's a lot of like family dynamics going on there.
• 2:50
  He did say that he hopes their kids are like wishes their kids
• 2:53
  could get together. But he did called Moses a creep.
• 2:56
  I'm assuming that's based off the allegations that are against
• 2:59
  him. You guys can look it up on
• 3:01
  Reddit for those. But yeah, he called him a creep
• 3:05
  and said basically, you know, he would love to be friends with
• 3:08
  Tricia, but that's probably not going to happen.
• 3:11
  So another Tricia update. She's headed to Broadway.
• 3:15
  She'll be performing a one night only show at the Saint James
• 3:19
  Theatre on February 3rd. OK, so this is directly from the
• 3:22
  People magazine exclusive interview on it quote produced
• 3:26
  by Kobe Casal and George Strauss.
• 3:28
  Tricia Paytas is Big Broadway Dream, which is the name of the
• 3:31
  show, was initially conceived as an April Fool's Day joke.
• 3:34
  Earlier this year, in celebration of the holiday,
• 3:37
  Casal's theatre lease site jokingly reported Paytas would
• 3:40
  play Roxy Hart in Chicago on Broadway and fans got excited.
• 3:44
  Quote, Obviously I know that's not real because no one's
• 3:46
  approached me about it, but I was like, what is this?
• 3:48
  This is so weird, recalls the longtime YouTube, who later
• 3:51
  shared the fake announcement to her social channel.
• 3:54
  People were so happy for me and I was like, fuck.
• 3:56
  The producers, however, also saw the fanfare around the prank
• 3:59
  announcement. They got a lot of clicks, said
• 4:01
  Paytas. And they were like, I think
• 4:03
  we're going to do it. And I was like, what?
• 4:05
  And then we got the date in the theater, and I was like, wait,
• 4:08
  is this happening? So yeah, this is a huge moment
• 4:11
  for Tricia. Of course, there are tons of
• 4:13
  people who are like, this just proves that cancel culture is
• 4:18
  really not a thing and influencers need to stop crying
• 4:20
  about cancel culture. And yeah, I mean, I, I actually
• 4:25
  spoke with this on a podcast earlier this year.
• 4:27
  Somebody asked me about cancel culture.
• 4:29
  I forget exactly what the question was, but I basically
• 4:32
  said there are so few people nowadays like celebrities and
• 4:36
  influencers who genuinely get quote UN quote cancelled where
• 4:40
  they cannot return, they cannot get their career back up and
• 4:45
  running. You know, there might be people
• 4:46
  that like have become more irrelevant since being quote, UN
• 4:49
  quote cancelled. But you know, the wide range of
• 4:54
  deeply offensive and problematic things that Tricia Paytas has
• 4:58
  done over the course of her career, some of them very
• 5:00
  recent. The fact that she has had this
• 5:02
  renaissance, which I, I keep talking about this renaissance
• 5:05
  this year, but she really has, she's had this renaissance this
• 5:07
  year. And that really does just show
• 5:11
  how quickly the Internet, quote UN quote, forgets.
• 5:14
  And I know that some people might say that they forgive her,
• 5:17
  you know, that she has changed. I do think she has changed.
• 5:19
  I can, I can see that in her. Like I was just saying with the
• 5:23
  Ethan story, she is still not addressed as far as I know,
• 5:27
  anything to do with her husband Moses.
• 5:28
  Like there's still so much around Tricia Paytas that feels
• 5:31
  unanswered, like so many, Oh my God, do I have icing in my hair
• 5:34
  from this gingerbread? I think I do this gingerbread
• 5:37
  house. But yes, there's still so much
• 5:38
  around Tricia Paytas that feels on answered when it comes to her
• 5:42
  past problematic behavior. And of course, she has
• 5:44
  apologized and talked about a lot of those things, but there
• 5:48
  are still a lot of unanswered questions and things that I
• 5:52
  think she has not taken accountability for.
• 5:54
  And yeah, having these moments like, you know, this huge
• 5:58
  renaissance with her podcast and now her live show SNL Broadway,
• 6:04
  she's having Bowen Yang on her podcast.
• 6:07
  Like these are mainstream moments that do prove that
• 6:11
  eventually we'll get to the other side.
• 6:14
  And I don't know if I would say people forget, but people move
• 6:17
  on. OK.
• 6:19
  And the last story that I have for you guys, just a little
• 6:22
  quick 1 today, but Azalea Banks is quote to sue Maddie Healy for
• 6:28
  $1 million. So Azalea Banks has taken her
• 6:31
  feud with Maddie Healey to the next level, publicly releasing a
• 6:35
  cease and desist letter that she allegedly sent him.
• 6:38
  OK. So in case you missed it, here
• 6:40
  is why there is drama between the two of them.
• 6:43
  So last week they engaged in an online back and forth after
• 6:48
  Azalea commented on a picture of Charlie XCX saying Charlie used
• 6:52
  to be so pretty. Maddie then stepped in to defend
• 6:55
  Charlie because she is engaged to his bandmate George Daniel,
• 6:59
  he wrote. All the women you attack seem to
• 7:01
  be culturally relevant, attractive, divisive and nice
• 7:04
  people. I think this makes you jealous
• 7:06
  because you're so talented, but everything else about you is a
• 7:09
  failure. Just rap bro.
• 7:12
  Azalea then hit back writing. I still don't know any of your
• 7:15
  music but make sure you keep all that shit behind your keyboard.
• 7:19
  This is hip hop and you are very easy to set up.
• 7:22
  A bad bag, a bad pill. It only cost $200.00 and an
• 7:26
  ounce of weed to do you. Maddie then wrote.
• 7:29
  I'll fucking slap you so hard I'll get a Guinness World Record
• 7:32
  for the highest a ratsum bitch calls a wig has ever flown.
• 7:37
  He then deleted this after getting a wave of backlash and
• 7:41
  issued an apology, writing not, I can't be saying I'm going to
• 7:45
  hit a girl. That's insane.
• 7:46
  I'm sorry. You just can't keep being so
• 7:48
  mean about my mates and my misses.
• 7:50
  It's really hurtful. Gets me, well, defensive.
• 7:52
  And then Azalea wrote on Twitter that she planned on suing Maddie
• 7:57
  for his comments. She claims she had suffered,
• 7:59
  quote, severe emotional distress.
• 8:01
  Sending me spiraling. And I'm beginning to feel
• 8:03
  physical effects. So yeah, in the cease and
• 8:06
  desist, Azealia Banks is accusing Maddie Healey of cyber
• 8:10
  bullying and cyber harassment and is asking for $1 million.
• 8:14
  I mean Azealia Banks, the lore goes so deep.
• 8:18
  She has beef with like every single person on the Internet.
• 8:21
  Azealia Banks calling Charli XCX anything but gorgeous is so
• 8:25
  fucking rude and savage and out of place, out of pocket and just
• 8:30
  objectively untrue. Honestly, good for her for
• 8:33
  telling Maddie Healey that she still doesn't know his music.
• 8:38
  He's like fuck Maddie Healey. Anyways, that was just like a
• 8:40
  battle of severely problematic people on Twitter.
• 8:46
