Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Mojo in the morning. So what is up
(00:02):
with this craze that your kids are now into?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Shannon the jellycats.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I've been talking about jelly cats, I feel like, for
a very long time, but it has reached a peak worldwide.
And I'm not joking worldwide. Jelly Cats are these like
very soft, cute, stuffed animals, and they've been around for
a long time. In fact, Lucy had was gifted jellycats
when she was born, like a bunny, and ay, they've
(00:26):
been around probably even longer than that.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wow. But now in the.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Past I would say year or two, they started making
like tons and tons of different everything from food to
animals to they just launched an alien collection, and it's.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Like the only thing I can equate it to.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I guess is the beanie baby craze from when I
was Lucy and Smith's age, like elementary school, middle school. Yeah,
And it's also become I feel like, as as a
mom who wants to get them for her kids, I
think I'm more invested in this thing than they are. Like,
(01:04):
you become a crazy parent, at least I do when
it comes to this sort of stuff. And Lucy and
I you guys, know this. We take a mommy daughter
trip to New York City the first weekend of every December,
so it's already planned for this year and one of
the things that she really wants to do is go
to They have a Jellycat diner inside of the Fao
(01:24):
Shorts toy store. So you go in and they quote
unquote cook your jelly cats like the burger and the
hot dog, and I think they have a bagel. They
make it this whole experience. It's totally free. I mean,
you have to buy the jelly cats, but it's totally free.
To do the experience, you have to get a reservation.
So this is where I get absolutely nuts. Where I
had to figure out, Okay, the reservations are released thirty
(01:46):
days in advance on the Monday of that week between
three and five pm. Okay, but they don't tell you when.
So on Monday of this week, it looked like I
had an FBI sting setup in my kitchen. Every IPA,
we had, every computer, we had, every cell phone that
we had was on this site from three to five
(02:07):
pm with me just constantly going around and refreshing, refreshing,
refreshing until I could get a reservation, I'm like, what
am I doing?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Why am I doing? Heck, yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I got the last reservation of the day, ten pm.
She's probably not even gonna be awake.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We're going.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yes. I always wonder sometimes if they fill up the
ten pm reservations and the other ones are still there
for like people that they they know or something are good,
you know.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I mean on all of my devices, and when I
tell you, I refresh that thing so quickly. When the
reservations dropped and they made us wait almost the full
two hours before they finally like came live, and I
was still my very first device, which was Lucy's iPad
that I was on, I was still like six hundred
and ninety seven in line.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Is this the same thing as that American Girl Doll Store?
How they will let you eat with your dolls? Is
that what that whole thing is like you actually eat
real food?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
No, No, it's all fake, because in this.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Is actually kind of funny. It makes me happy that
we get to bring this up again. Do you remember
when Lydia went to Chicago and she, as a grown
ass adult, went to the American Girl Doll Store to
have lunch.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And I do it again.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yes, you when you go to the American Girl doll one,
do you eat yourself or does just your doll eat?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
We both eat together, That would be rude.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So the Jellycat thing, you don't eat anything. There's no food.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
They call it a jelly Cat Diner, but it's just
a setup of all of the of all of the
stuffed animals they have. And then there's like the Fao
Schwartz employees fake cook whatever it is that you're buying
and they box it up. And the way that I
does rearranged my Monday for this thing, and the experience
is probably like five or ten minutes. She's so excited,
(03:50):
but she was even laughing at me as I was like,
do not nobody touch anything on this counter right now,
because I wanted to make sure that it went.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Through and Lydia, was it weird for you to be
sitting at a table with a doll?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
No, not at all. Everyone had the capability of doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I just picked her up off.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The wall and put her in a high chair.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
But do you fake feed her?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah? They give you like a little mug for her,
some like little muffins that you can give her.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, So I just pretend to be such a good mom.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That is so weird. Say she put it in yours, I.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Put it in hers, and then yeah, she put it
in mine.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh my god, we say to say it again.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
No, you said you're gonna buy ajelly care.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They're kind of expensive though, there's so how much are they?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I mean they range from like twenty five to sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So, uh, when you were little kids, when you guys
were little kids, were you into stuff like this, like
how your kids are in this?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Like did you have its beanie babies?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And I talked to my sister Jacqueline today because I
was telling her about this whole reservation thing and now
she's kind of invested too for her daughter. And I
was like, why are we like this that we will
go to the ends of the earth to get these
stupid stuffed in animals? And she said, because Mom was
this way with beanie babies for us.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She would get a.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Rumor that Sue's Hallmark was going to get the you know,
elephant in and her butt would be waiting in line
at five am, the sort of opens.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I don't have webkins. Oh I loved it. Yes, that
was our generation for sure. Doesn't even know what a
webkin is.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, we gave way webkins on the air.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Remember that was like a bit like stuffed animals. But
then they had codes to like a virtual world.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it was. It was a cult.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I used to throw birthday.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Parties from my webkins.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Really, yeah, I had birthday cakes, have all my webkins
in a circle, we'd all hang out.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, it was legit. The girls that were my age
were all into cabbage Patch docks. That was. Cabbage Patch
styles were the things. And then I remember when Joey
was younger, it was tickle Me Almo. I had to
I remember going to get a bunch of tickle Me
Almos for a promotion that we were given away, and
having like sneak one out for Joey for his Christmas
(06:02):
so that Santa could give him one because you could
not get him anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And I was going to my car with the tickle
me almost to put them in my car, and people
were following me in the parking lot because they were
trying to see if I would sell it to them
in the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
There's a TikTok trend right now that if you go
on TikTok and type your name with the word jellykit,
it'll tell you what your jellykit is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, we're doing it, Somebody do it for me because
I don't have TikTok.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So are there any ways to make money off the things?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Because I would bet if this is the case, there
are those guys out there, like the you know, the
guys that line up for celebrity autographs that just try
to sell them and they're all like creepy old dudes.
I bet you there are like some creepy dudes.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I can tell you that this is true because when
Wes and I went out of town a couple of
weeks ago, I knew there was a store that sold
them where we were, and so I waited.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I randomly got to the store like ten.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Minutes before it opened, and there were a bunch of
like grown older men waiting in line for the store
to open, and they went back to the jellycat section.
So I was like, Okay, you're not doing unless they
were doing it didn't even look like they were like
grandpas or dad's.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Doesn't that make you think weird things? Like when you're
standing in line and there's a smelly dude wearing a
freaking champion dirty sweatshirt and he's like trying to get
himself these things. Quick question for you on the jelly
Cats and stuff like this, what stores sell them? You
said there's a store that sells them, but you said,
Fao Schwartz, there's any stories locally?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, there's a few, a lot of so paper Sore
sells them, which I think is like one of the
only it's like a card shop.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But then it's a lot. They try to support a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Of local businesses, so like the apothecary and Holland on
the west side of the state, I know sells them.
I'm trying to think, girls, there's a place in Birmingham
Found Objects that sells them, like some of these little
like one off local businesses. Jelly Cat tries to support those.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
First Courtney, what's up, it's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Hi, good morning. That's like trying to plan a trip
to Disney. It's absolutely miserab because you have to get
on at a certain time to get the restaurant, to
get a reservation, the fast passes. It's like you feel
like you're in this race and it's like why are
you even doing this?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That is that is true. If you do go on
one of those trips to wherever Universal Disney, you can't
get reservations to these places. It makes no sense, you
know that, it's so hard to get reservations because people
will jump on, like you said, in the middle of
the night to try to get them. What's up, Nicole?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Hey there, I was just under him. Does anybody remember
the online neopets Neo pats?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I remember that.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Yeah, Neo pets were sick.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, did your did you have neo pets?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Oh? I sure did.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did your parents do what like Shannon's doing, Like, did
your mom stand in line in the middle of the
night and do all that stuff?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, not at all.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
It's you're pretty much closed in at home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So it's amazing.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Definitely have my online world.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's amazing to think of like the parents that do
it versus the parents that won't do it at all,
that don't want to be part of the whole thing.
But I always believe, I always believe you try to
give your kid something that you didn't have. In your case,
you said you did have this like where I think
that's where I learned it from. Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Now it's like a personal mission mission for.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Me to do this. Wow, I wonder if there's anybody
that listens to us, they can get you a better
time than ten o'clock at night.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'm good, great.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Why do they want kids out at ten o'clock at night?
That's nuts? What's up, Marcy? How you doing Hi?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
The reason I remember it very ptipidly, the reason that
Tickle me Elmo sold out was Rosie o'donald. Yes, when
it came out, Rosie o'donnald had a talk show and
she was playing with it on her program, and she
was like, oh my god, I love this, Oh my god,
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, she was like the hypemaster of Tickle me Elmo
at the time. I remember that too. Yeah. Those were actually, uh,
those were hugely popular. It's funny how big she was too.
Her show was always like the big show in the afternoon.
What's up, Molly? How you doing good? How are you good? Molly?
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I sell jelly cats.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
I have a store and I sell.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Them at my store Michigan.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Shannon's eyes just shout it out, the little seedling seed.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Do you have any jelly cats that Shannon can get
her hands on?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Absolutely, you can go to my website and order them.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh wow, what's the rarest? What's the rarest jelly Cat?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Well, they've got tons of discontinued ones, so, like you know,
I mean, there's hundreds of them. And what cracks me
up is sometimes when they release them, people will buy them,
sell them on the eBay for triple what they're worth,
and they're still sitting in my store. So do your
search before you pay more than retail. But somebody mentioned
(11:03):
that they're twenty to sixty dollars. They're actually about twenty
to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh my god, humongo one.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Okay, yeah, we have a couple of Yeah, we have
a couple of them in our store that are a
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What's your website?
Speaker 7 (11:19):
The Little seedling dot com?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Hey, quick question. Do you ever run across those smelly
old dudes that are just trying to buy them this alem?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
No, not the vast majority of the Well, there's tons
of college students in Harbor's college town.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Really, yeah, tons of college students.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah, college students come in all day long to buy them.
Last year, during the holidays, we had entire Michigan sports
teams doing jellycat exchanges like the women's swimming team and
the women's.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
Track and field team that was like their secret Santa.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Yeah. And then of course kids, we're more mostly you know,
a baby kids store and so, you know, parents, your
store is adorable.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm looking at it online.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I keep figure if Luke and ask Jews are like
hanging out on campus with jelly kids kids, is it
only girls or the boys that are that are playing
with guys?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
It's some of the sweetest things is when little like
you know, fourteen fifteen year old boys come in and
they're buying them for their first girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh okay, give me really cute. All right, Well, thanks
for the call, Molly, appreciate it. Well to check you out.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
A good one.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Take care of yourself.
All right, Mojo in the morning. So what is up
(00:02):
with this craze that your kids are now into?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Shannon the jellycats.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I've been talking about jelly cats, I feel like, for
a very long time, but it has reached a peak worldwide.
And I'm not joking worldwide. Jelly Cats are these like
very soft, cute, stuffed animals, and they've been around for
a long time. In fact, Lucy had was gifted jellycats
when she was born, like a bunny, and ay, they've
(00:26):
been around probably even longer than that.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Wow. But now in the.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Past I would say year or two, they started making
like tons and tons of different everything from food to
animals to they just launched an alien collection, and it's.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Like the only thing I can equate it to.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I guess is the beanie baby craze from when I
was Lucy and Smith's age, like elementary school, middle school. Yeah,
And it's also become I feel like, as as a
mom who wants to get them for her kids, I
think I'm more invested in this thing than they are. Like,
(01:04):
you become a crazy parent, at least I do when
it comes to this sort of stuff. And Lucy and
I you guys, know this. We take a mommy daughter
trip to New York City the first weekend of every December,
so it's already planned for this year and one of
the things that she really wants to do is go
to They have a Jellycat diner inside of the Fao
(01:24):
Shorts toy store. So you go in and they quote
unquote cook your jelly cats like the burger and the
hot dog, and I think they have a bagel. They
make it this whole experience. It's totally free. I mean,
you have to buy the jelly cats, but it's totally free.
To do the experience, you have to get a reservation.
So this is where I get absolutely nuts. Where I
had to figure out, Okay, the reservations are released thirty
(01:46):
days in advance on the Monday of that week between
three and five pm. Okay, but they don't tell you when.
So on Monday of this week, it looked like I
had an FBI sting setup in my kitchen. Every IPA,
we had, every computer, we had, every cell phone that
we had was on this site from three to five
(02:07):
pm with me just constantly going around and refreshing, refreshing,
refreshing until I could get a reservation, I'm like, what
am I doing?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Why am I doing? Heck, yeah I did.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I got the last reservation of the day, ten pm.
She's probably not even gonna be awake.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We're going.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yes. I always wonder sometimes if they fill up the
ten pm reservations and the other ones are still there
for like people that they they know or something are good,
you know.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I mean on all of my devices, and when I
tell you, I refresh that thing so quickly. When the
reservations dropped and they made us wait almost the full
two hours before they finally like came live, and I
was still my very first device, which was Lucy's iPad
that I was on, I was still like six hundred
and ninety seven in line.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Is this the same thing as that American Girl Doll Store?
How they will let you eat with your dolls? Is
that what that whole thing is like you actually eat
real food?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
No, No, it's all fake, because in this.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Is actually kind of funny. It makes me happy that
we get to bring this up again. Do you remember
when Lydia went to Chicago and she, as a grown
ass adult, went to the American Girl Doll Store to
have lunch.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And I do it again.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yes, you when you go to the American Girl doll one,
do you eat yourself or does just your doll eat?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
We both eat together, That would be rude.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So the Jellycat thing, you don't eat anything. There's no food.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
They call it a jelly Cat Diner, but it's just
a setup of all of the of all of the
stuffed animals they have. And then there's like the Fao
Schwartz employees fake cook whatever it is that you're buying
and they box it up. And the way that I
does rearranged my Monday for this thing, and the experience
is probably like five or ten minutes. She's so excited,
(03:50):
but she was even laughing at me as I was like,
do not nobody touch anything on this counter right now,
because I wanted to make sure that it went.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Through and Lydia, was it weird for you to be
sitting at a table with a doll?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
No, not at all. Everyone had the capability of doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I just picked her up off.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The wall and put her in a high chair.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
But do you fake feed her?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah? They give you like a little mug for her,
some like little muffins that you can give her.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, So I just pretend to be such a good mom.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That is so weird. Say she put it in yours, I.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Put it in hers, and then yeah, she put it
in mine.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh my god, we say to say it again.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
No, you said you're gonna buy ajelly care.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They're kind of expensive though, there's so how much are they?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I mean they range from like twenty five to sixty dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So, uh, when you were little kids, when you guys
were little kids, were you into stuff like this, like
how your kids are in this?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Like did you have its beanie babies?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And I talked to my sister Jacqueline today because I
was telling her about this whole reservation thing and now
she's kind of invested too for her daughter. And I
was like, why are we like this that we will
go to the ends of the earth to get these
stupid stuffed in animals? And she said, because Mom was
this way with beanie babies for us.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She would get a.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Rumor that Sue's Hallmark was going to get the you know,
elephant in and her butt would be waiting in line
at five am, the sort of opens.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I don't have webkins. Oh I loved it. Yes, that
was our generation for sure. Doesn't even know what a
webkin is.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, we gave way webkins on the air.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Remember that was like a bit like stuffed animals. But
then they had codes to like a virtual world.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, it was. It was a cult.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I used to throw birthday.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Parties from my webkins.

it'll tell you what your jellykit is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, we're doing it, Somebody do it for me because
I don't have TikTok.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
So are there any ways to make money off the things?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Because I would bet if this is the case, there
are those guys out there, like the you know, the
guys that line up for celebrity autographs that just try
to sell them and they're all like creepy old dudes.
I bet you there are like some creepy dudes.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I can tell you that this is true because when
Wes and I went out of town a couple of

First Courtney, what's up, it's Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Hi, good morning. That's like trying to plan a trip
to Disney. It's absolutely miserab because you have to get
on at a certain time to get the restaurant, to
get a reservation, the fast passes. It's like you feel
like you're in this race and it's like why are
you even doing this?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That is that is true. If you do go on
one of those trips to wherever Universal Disney, you can't
get reservations to these places. It makes no sense, you
know that, it's so hard to get reservations because people
will jump on, like you said, in the middle of
the night to try to get them. What's up, Nicole?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Hey there, I was just under him. Does anybody remember
the online neopets Neo pats?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I remember that.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Yeah, Neo pets were sick.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, did your did you have neo pets?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
Oh? I sure did.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did your parents do what like Shannon's doing, Like, did
your mom stand in line in the middle of the
night and do all that stuff?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, not at all.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
It's you're pretty much closed in at home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So it's amazing.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Definitely have my online world.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It's amazing to think of like the parents that do
it versus the parents that won't do it at all,
that don't want to be part of the whole thing.
But I always believe, I always believe you try to
give your kid something that you didn't have. In your case,
you said you did have this like where I think
that's where I learned it from. Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Now it's like a personal mission mission for.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Me to do this. Wow, I wonder if there's anybody
that listens to us, they can get you a better
time than ten o'clock at night.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'm good, great.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Why do they want kids out at ten o'clock at night?
That's nuts? What's up, Marcy? How you doing Hi?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
The reason I remember it very ptipidly, the reason that
Tickle me Elmo sold out was Rosie o'donald. Yes, when
it came out, Rosie o'donnald had a talk show and
she was playing with it on her program, and she
was like, oh my god, I love this, Oh my god,
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, she was like the hypemaster of Tickle me Elmo
at the time. I remember that too. Yeah. Those were actually, uh,
those were hugely popular. It's funny how big she was too.
Her show was always like the big show in the afternoon.
What's up, Molly? How you doing good? How are you good? Molly?
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I sell jelly cats.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
I have a store and I sell.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Them at my store Michigan.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Shannon's eyes just shout it out, the little seedling seed.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Do you have any jelly cats that Shannon can get
her hands on?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Absolutely, you can go to my website and order them.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh wow, what's the rarest? What's the rarest jelly Cat?
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Well, they've got tons of discontinued ones, so, like you know,
I mean, there's hundreds of them. And what cracks me
up is sometimes when they release them, people will buy them,
sell them on the eBay for triple what they're worth,
and they're still sitting in my store. So do your
search before you pay more than retail. But somebody mentioned
(11:03):
that they're twenty to sixty dollars. They're actually about twenty
to one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh my god, humongo one.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Okay, yeah, we have a couple of Yeah, we have
a couple of them in our store that are a
thousand dollars.

Speaker 7 (11:19):

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Hey, quick question. Do you ever run across those smelly
old dudes that are just trying to buy them this alem?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
No, not the vast majority of the Well, there's tons
of college students in Harbor's college town.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Really, yeah, tons of college students.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Yeah, college students come in all day long to buy them.
Last year, during the holidays, we had entire Michigan sports
teams doing jellycat exchanges like the women's swimming team and
the women's.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
Track and field team that was like their secret Santa.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Yeah. And then of course kids, we're more mostly you know,
a baby kids store and so, you know, parents, your
store is adorable.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm looking at it online.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I keep figure if Luke and ask Jews are like
hanging out on campus with jelly kids kids, is it
only girls or the boys that are that are playing
with guys?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
It's some of the sweetest things is when little like
you know, fourteen fifteen year old boys come in and
they're buying them for their first girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh okay, give me really cute. All right, Well, thanks
