Speaker 1 (00:12):
I heard podcasts year more, kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the free iHeart appat.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Great Robini and Kiff Now.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
With Correos the podcast Great Colony, Good Day.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
So this La Boo Boo craze is the weirdest thing.
And there's a shop called PopMart. There's one at Mount
Gravat at Westfields has one. It's Indro and there's the
story last week of people lined up like way out
the door, down all the way winding through the whole
shopping center. People lining up trying to get La Boo boos.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I am shocked that even in Australia you can find one.
I thought the only way to get one would be online,
and even then you have to sell like one of
your arms.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, they've been sold out forever and people are on
selling them for a huge amount of mode early. But yes,
but I have found a and I've been able to
get a whole six pack. Right, they come in this
box of of La Boo boo.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Box looks beaten up.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, it's traveled away, it's traveled quite a long distance,
but it's got all these little monsters on them, which
I think so it got very popular. If you've just
joined us from Lisa from Black Pink, who's the K
pop star was also on White Lotus, and.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
It's just gone comple Well, I don't want to open
it because if you open the box, because the unboxing
experience is supposed to be a big thing, this is
all over TikTok, like this is one of the many
tiktoks of someone doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Excited, I'm going to unbox my first ever la boo boo.
Are the ones that I could get? I think I
want to get the pink one or the blue one
the most, So let's see which one we get. I'm
so excited, so cute. This is the gray one? I think?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Is it grey?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Yeah, I have the little card This is Sasin.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
It's actually so cute.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
I love the little gray one.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
See this is why you can't You can't open it
because the boxes are all the same, but inside you've
got the special color.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But I'm just very very very dubious.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Why because I've got a set two hundred and seventy
bars going to be able to com back.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I think Matt producer Maddie is all over the Laboo
by Craze And yeah, there's also things called la fufous.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Yeah, that's the term coined by I guess the internet. Yeah,
lafufu being the fake La Boo boo.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Right, why are we even talking about it? Because this
look at it. It says it says PopMart on the box.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Yeah, I mean from over here across the desk, it
does look like a legitimate La Boo Boo box. And
I am quite surprised you managed to get them, because
they do sell out immediately. So did you wait online
for those and queue up?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And I just found them on an online source. Just
just got got a box. Took about ten days to
get here.
Speaker 8 (03:08):
That's really yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Very good this is. I mean it just looks like
exactly like that. It's a little monster, a little fluffy
monster with a vinyl face. It says vinyl face.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
On Yeah, So I mean, on first glance, this looks
quite It looks real.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
If it's fake, it's a good fake.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Although immediately I can see that on the top of
the box, the little tear thing, it doesn't go all
the way across the top, and that's usually the first indicator.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
So let me tear it open and have a good
You can open.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
One, okay, okay, can I see't okay, And the fact
that it didn't rip. Maybe you ripped it wrong.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
That's actually part of the whole experience.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Maybe that was your fault, but not ripping it properly,
maybe it is my fault.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Maybe this is just the box and I will open
her up.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, Yes, it looks like look at that fake packaging.
That packaging looks legit.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
It doesn't it says PopMart on it.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yes, so I think, yeah, there is a couple of
different ways you can tell the difference before I.
Speaker 8 (04:07):
Open this up. A la boo boo.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Usually it has really bright colors on the box, and
it does usually have a bar code on the back
of the box.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Immediately this doesn't have a bar code. But I mean
maybe yeah, let's open her arm.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yes, that sounds goods now putting a hand in doing
it like you do with a little boo boo.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You do not know the color? Are you excited about?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What?
Speaker 8 (04:33):
I really hope we get the cream color?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yes, okay, the cream one. Hey, that's legit. That's a
one that's quite good. What do you mean there's no
key ring?
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Yeah, there's no keyring. Corey's right, that's sorry, No this
is a fake. Yeah, this has got to be a fake.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Bought the Foo foods yeah Australia because I thought they
were real.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
No, that's more than like really cost.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So what are you going to do with this? Does
anyone want one thirty one o sixty five because I
got them to give away on the show and I
thought we were going to be the only show giving
away la boobers. But can we Surely someone still wants it?
Looks very good and the others we've got five that
are still thirty one oh sixty five. Okay, but you have.
