Could a quirky collectible convert skeptics into stans? Since Cassie couldn’t join our full episode Haunted Dolls and the Labubu Curse, she put together a bonus episode of her very own!
We found ourselves unexpectedly enchanted by the whimsical world of Labubu. Initially, the cultural phenomena seemed like just another eye-roll-inducing trend, but before we knew it, they had captured our curiosity and a special place in our hearts. We even took a mid-pod field trip to indulge our newfound fascination!

I do worry that through the making fun and researching
the world of La Boo Boos, one might accidentally end
up loving La Boo Boos, And I say.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Maybe that's my issue.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, maybe I just needed to look into it a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, he's so Cute's kind of spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Obviously I have some feelings for Labooboo now, so yeah,
we'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is a Laboo bonus. Let them on our els,
did you guys miss me?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm back for Laboo Bonus because I couldn't stay away
from Labuo Boo, no matter how how hard I tried
and manifested to not be here for the Labuo bo episode.
I was kind of upset that I didn't get to
be there for that because I really did want to
as much as I was joking about it, Yeah, I
was interested in figuring, like what it was all about
(01:01):
because I had I had judgments. I had preconceived notions,
which I do sometimes, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Judgie, make judge your son.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So I want to read you, guys, just just the
beginning of this Luboo journey. So Caitlin starts off by
sending a La Booboo episode from a podcast called Sounds
Like a Cult, which you might have heard of. It's
pretty it's a pretty good show. Shit, I didn't screenshot
like the very original thing. You said something about La
Boo Wu might have like scary stories, it might be
(01:32):
like associated with spooky stuff, and so you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Sending it to me. I assume so that I could
do an episode on it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, you were like, could not be less interested? Fuck
off and die basically, So I'm gonna I'm going to read.
I'm going to read the reactions.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So I say, lol, all caps, that's all you If
you want to steal a paranormal up you say, but
ha ha ha ha, let me get how many hot No,
I'm just kidding. Don't try and temp me with a
good time. I'm seriously considering it. Spoiler alert. She did it,
and then Taylor says, I'd love to do a lu
(02:08):
Boo Boo episode.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh my god. Caylan says, oh, are you a fan
enjoying people watching with the trend? Tell me more?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And then I said, oh my god, I had the
best idea, you guys do it together, because that sounds
like torture.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
If I have to hear.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Loboo fucking boo one more lo booing time. But I
did the mad, angry, the cussing face because I've just
been hearing it a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Obviously it's in the culture now, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, and You're like, I don't know what it is,
so this is annoying. I literally had no idea and like, yeah,
boo boos just sound so anyway, I just like snap
judged it basically by the name. So Taylor said, I'm
obsessed with watching the trend. I'm not a stranger to boxes,
but I feel like I've never seen one that's so
(03:03):
clearly a mass cultural coping distraction, dopamine seeking mechanism.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Also, I love how Taylor talks. I know, I know,
and the name is so stupid. It sounds like something
from a cartoon making fun of consumer consumerism and capitalist hellscape,
which is like, that's basically what I kind of thought too. Yeah,
Caitlyn says, damn, she's tapping out to me. I assume yes,
and then it says you still have to edit either way, suka,
(03:31):
and I said.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'll hire out, which I didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I edited it okay, as far as we know. Well, like,
in response to that right, right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, you commented to me about things that were in
the episode, like in real time, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And I also added a clapping feature when you managed
to remember to say P and B A F nasty.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't listen to the episode yet, I know christed,
but I was like, clearly that was Cassie adding that
for yeah, yeah, anyway, Okay, back to the story.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So, in response to kind of what Tailor said about
the consumer capitalism healthscape, I say, we're literally living black
mirror right now a little bit. Uh She says a
lot of these shows are starting to feel like guide
books for the powers that be.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I say, our imitating life, imitating our imitating life. The
exception of it all makes my head's hurt plural, is
what I said. And I also may have waked and baked.
It's fine, it was my day off. H Tailing goes
on to say, do you ever say woke in boke?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
My god, the woken both woken bok. That's why I
like added this little tangent because it was so cute.
Uh So that's what she calls it in her head.
And then I said, I'll start saying, woken boke, I
woke in both this morning. There's a little bit more.
This is kind of the funny part. So Kaylan says
there's a PopMart at the clack of a small dewey smell,
a field trip and I say, I don't know what
(05:06):
that is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Ha ha. Then she says, oh my.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
God, and a robot shop at Washington Square. Okay, I'm
researching it, but I'm so sorry, Cassie. I think this
is fully happening. And I say, I also don't know
what that is. You say, but haha, it's related to
the La Boo Boos. And I say, oh no, I'm
busy that day.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And then this last part it's just like we manifested
this entire thing. I think.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So this last part, Taylan says, I do worry that
through the making fun and researching the world of La
Boo Boos, one might accidentally end up loving La Boo Boos.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And I say, maybe that's my issue. Yeah, maybe I
just need to look into it a little bit. Yeah, Hi,
he's so cute.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What's kind of spoiler alert? Obviously I have some feelings
for Labooboo now, so yeah, we'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Okay, it's just kidding. I'm not gonna you know they do.
I don't know because they're based off of real things,
like do they have a sound they have to write?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't fully know the full story like the lore. Yeah,
I just heard the episode, so I know what it's.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Like based on a book, So I don't know that
there's actually like any true like audio.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Aspect of Maybe they had some like what's that called
when you do a word that sounds like a like
a mon a P. Yeah, I was like, mau, what's
that mao? Why? Honestly la boo boo?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like I think so too, But anyway, maybe there's like
an automatopia sound the thing like.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Anyway, that's what I was thinking. I'm like, I'm assuming
that there could be some sort of like description of
that and various characteristics.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We'll listen to it more and you guys let us
know if you want to come to us with your
own research.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
If you are obsessed, uh, tell us about it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think on your website you can send like voicemails
and stuff. So if you want to record yourself like
making the la boo boo.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The sound, what does a booboo sound like, record it,
send it to us. We'll have la booboo call oh
my god competitions like they do.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That'd be great, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So what I do when I make fun of things
is I kind of like make it into another word.
So I was like saying la boob I was spelling
it b oo b ooh, I was saying labub like
qq lab boo a foo. I was gonna say lala balooza,
lalla boo booza something like that. And then I was like,
(08:08):
la your booboo like la yourna ooh, And you fucking
were talking about a story with a woman weeping like
one of the dolls.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
All those doll.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Stories were those from La boo boos or okay where
that's what I was like, that's what I was getting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, that's kind of creepy.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I kind of want to go back to that story
and like, see, was that a law your booboo, Like
was that a weeping la corona la boo boo combination?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean that mashup.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's like the assumption from from the op. So yeah,
that's creepy, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So I totally wrote that before I even heard the episode,
and I'm like, I went back and I wrote.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh
my god. I wrote this before and I'm editing. I'm
freaking out all cats. So that's kind of what I do.
I just was like, maybe, also, you mentioned they should
be in some sort of creepy doll museum, and I
was like, are there creepy doll museums or are you
(09:13):
thinking of like where Annabell is, like.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
The no, like we even remember we interviewed and now
I'm not going to remember the name, but we interviewed.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
What is it? It's but it's something, yes.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I was like, I kept wanting to say, like scary
time toys, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Unsettling okay, because that's not like a museum.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's not like a place you are, like museums that
have dolls and like haunted artifacts and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So that's kind of what I was. I was like, Yeah,
creepy doll museum. Does she mean like the.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Haunted like like Eda Lorraine Warrens, like haunted doll where
Annabelle lives.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Like probably not anything to do with Ed Lorraine. I
was like, definitely. What popped into my head was unsettling toys.
I was like, yeah, like they seem equipped tour any
of what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Here, but kind of we're gonna go off on just
a little bit of a tangent because it does relate
to something I did recently.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So I went to see the new Conjuring.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Love.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I love the Conjuring movies. I don't even care like
they're great.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They're great scary, just scary, the classic scary movie, just scary,
a lot of jump scary scary imagery. I love Ghosty
love it. So I'm a freak right, Well, yeah, I
have this all from Unsettling Toys. And she is a
raggedy Ann.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And Raggedy Ann's if you guys don't know that is
the original Annabelle Doll was a raggedy Ann doll.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh so she's.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Just like this big raggedy Ann. She's not actually scary
as the movies uh make her look.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I was gonna say that Annabell Doll looks more like
like a traditional like kind of a porcelain doll.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
She looks kind of like a ventriloquist doll.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yes, yes, yes, like a cross between like a porcelain
doll and like a ventriloquis dummy.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, and she's like human size, Like she's like kids
size in the movies, but in real life she's I
think she's one of the bigger raggedy andols because they
have like bigger ones.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I have a smaller Let me explain Annie. Ex blind yourself,
My Annabelle. My Annie is the sweetest little girl.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Like she reminds me of your little clown like I
think that they would be like for hernesties.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yes, okay, that like her energy.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Once I got her, she's just like like the cutest
little smile. She has great energy. I did ask why
they got rid of her. They just because, uh, Unsettling
Toys is a haunted all rehoming service. So you give
them your haunted dolls. They'll rehome with them. Yeah, rehome
in them rehoman eminem. The person just said it was
creepy at night, and I was like, I feel like it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Everything's creepy.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Everything's creepy at night. She's got you know, she's a doll.
I get no bad vibes from her whatsoever. Like, okay,
I opened her up. I just had great vibe. She
hangs out in my room. She sits like next to
my bed. She's just I love her. Were you upset
that it felt like yours? Like, wasn't like haunty a
(12:15):
little like creepy, You're like a little okay, but I
love I just felt I felt a connection to her
right away because when I was I had wanted an
Annabelle doll, like I wanted to have an Annabelle like creepy,
raggedy ant all and yeah, my mom used to.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Have like the bigger ones.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, and she's since gotten rid of them, unfortunately, but
I really wanted hers, and I was like, ah, dang it.
So I've been searching for one, and it had been
like a week since I'd been thinking about it, and
I just, you know, popped on Instagram and saw that
they had one, and I was like, oh, killing pa,
can I have her? Like she's mine? Immediately got her,
like it was just so easy.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So it worked out.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But I wanted to bring little Annie on a field
trip to go see the content because I thought that
would be hilarious, Okay, and it was. I also wore
my two girls when goes the Conjuring Tour hoodie because
just like.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
A theme, you know, yeah, no, wait, it's all about
the theme.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's all about the theme. It's all about the theme.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And we can I'll insert picture of Cassie and Annie
at the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
She ate a lot of my popcorn. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Anyway, so I took her to the movies. I thought
it would be funny.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Honestly, I don't think anyone really got it, because I
don't think people.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Actually, they don't make the association.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Unless you're like a hardcore paranormal nerd, right, you don't
really know that Annabel looks like raggedy and.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I also though, would just be like, oh my god,
this person is doing this like clearly like for the
edit for the gram because like they're bringing a doll
to a creepy doll movie.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You would think. But the concessions person was like, oh,
what movie are you seeing? And I'm like, story, this
is Annah Bell. I'm going to see the Conjuring.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But anyway, okay, yeah, this is the best part. You guys,
scare boys. It's so fun at concessions. You know, I'm
trying to like get my wallet out and pay and
I got this doll. And so the person I'm with
was a man I was not on a date. It's
a very good friend. I was being like annoying little
sister vibes.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, but I was like, hey, here hold my doll.
He's never invited me anywhere ever. Get it's so funny. Yeah, no,
that's fair. It sounds like so I made him hold
my doll at concessions.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But like the whole time, I was thinking, like, if
I was on a date, I would do this exact say, like,
this would be how you weed out the weirdos on
a date, right, I guess, so you're like, if you're
not into or how.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They weird, they weed you out as the weirdo're weird.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Please leave, Like I just need to know immediately, So
like for state, I'm going to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I just know that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So I just wanted to give that advice to everybody too. Okay, yeah,
I'm scaring voice is really fun. Well, someone I date
with a girl, then I might you know, yeah, okay,
it's a different vibe.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, but it was a good time.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Bringing Annabelle she did I don't know, Okay, I don't
know if it was her me because we were sitting
in like the butt the butt jiggly seats that were
all like once they vibrate you for like the jump
scares when things get loud, like, I don't like that.
I didn't love it, and I was like kind of
startled by it, I think, but I thought I thought.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It was Annie.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So a very scary like preview came on, and it
was very scary, and I just got like this, I
got a vibration, but I felt like energy. She was
sitting right here in my little arm and I just
like felt energy from her, like she was scared, and
so I wrapped her and I turned her around and I.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Like held her to me.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I was like, you don't want need to watch this
preview like it's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And once it was over, I put her back. She
was fine for the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
She really liked the parts where Annabel where she could
see herself because Annabel was in the movie.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
She liked those like that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, how did she feel about her namesake behavior throughout
the movie?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
She thinks it's funny. Oh okay, she thinks it's really funny.
She's like, because that's not her.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
She knows it's like kind of based off of something
that looks like her. She knows it's not actually her.
She really likes that they changed the look of Annabel.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Because she's like, I don't want to be guilty by association.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm talking so seriously, but I kind of believe I
kind of believe it. But anyway, we had a good time.
I gave her popcorn and some little nerd candies.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Oh okay, So back to what were we talking about?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Labooboos boo boos. I know, how the hell did we
get here because like conjuring, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But I know the timing lined up.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It was like I was doing the laboo boo thing
and talking about spooky stuff the doll.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's where I got the doll. It all, yeah, and
then yeah, it was like just timed out. Well, it
timed out that hurt, like her brain.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I did really love the fact that it like totally
was meant to be for Chris to do this episode.
And I was like thinking that I wrote it down
and then you'd even like seid it seriously and then
this was like right before he was like, oh my god,
I just saw puddles dressed like la boo boo, and
I was like, yeah, yeah, totally meant to be that.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Okay, So this is really funny because then this came
up last night because he was seeing all the stuff
that we post to the socials from our episode, and
he was like, oh, I hope people don't come after
us for calling the doc Puddles.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I was like, oh, is that not? Isn't that
his like?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
And he was like, well, so technically Puddles was like
an actual duck that the college had like a.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And he's like, so presumably Puddles is jad and like
the actual like mascot now is just called duck.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I was like, well, obviously if it's supposed to
look like Puddles, Like it's like like why like we
used to have an actual duck and now we have
a mascot, but like we're changing then, like.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
No, duck, Puddles souch better.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's adorable. I was like, Okay, well that's dumb. I
was like, nobody come for us because we don't give
a shit.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I also get yeah, I give two shits about fucking football,
Like I couldn't give two shits about football.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I do know fucks about football, zero fucks and zerosious.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I love that Taylor Swift loves it. I love that
she got, you know, a bunch of girls into football who.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They love it. I don't love it yet.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm not there, But maybe I just need to research
more of it, because apparently once I look something up,
I just become a fan of the stand of it.
Just that's your default. But I'm not ready to fall
in love with football yet. It's just too much I
come of it, you know, So I'm not ready. Uh anyway,
so totally worked out. I love that he had no idea, like, yeah, boogoo,
(19:24):
who even was because I had already had my like
preconceived notions obviously.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So I just like that there was a fresh, a
different view on it that wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And like, you just cannot make this stuff up because
he's like he hadn't heard a single like nothing, This
was not like somehow this like major part of the
cultural like zeitgeist. He's just like has zero exposure to
up to this point. He didn't make it to his
algorithm yet, no, and he was like, so, who the
fuck is this? And I'm like, we're speaking of algorithms
(19:58):
every time I go on Instagram now it's laboobo. I
didn't look up anything la boobo on fucking Instagram all now,
it's just all la boo booths all of it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Honestly, I'm getting like Facebook ads, I'm getting you know,
in Gmail, how they have like the sponsored like ad
shit that shows up in like your inbox and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm getting la boo boo stuff there.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Ah boy, the Internet. Yeah, I say not to track me,
and they everything all my ways. Don't track me, don't
track it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
They fucking know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, anyway, it's fine. Annoying, but okay, so you talked
about them being a demon.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
And it was like everything's a fucking demon, like Lorae
Lawren say, basically, everything's a demon. Oh one more thing
about the movie just quickly. But I appreciated at the very.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
End, so we all know, well, if you're in this culture,
in this like paranoral world, you know that they're controversial.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah. I did appreciate the end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They said that while you know, what they did was
controversial because they thought everything as a demon, they're trying
to exercise everybody, which is problematic. Yeah, they said that
they were, you know, kind of pioneers in the field.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
They were talking about it when nobody else was.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And yeah, you know, they made it kind of more
mainstream and easy to talk about, and so that's kind
of what where the appreciation for them comes in. Yeah. Yeah,
and being a fan of like the movies and stuff,
because the movies show that they portray them in a
way better light than they actually were.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I was gonna say, I feel like a lot of that,
like the content that's out there about them probably is
a little more forgiving than yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, but yeah, we appreciate that they you know, made
paranormal things okay to talk about.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Anyway, Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, So you talked about them being a demon, which
is kind of funny because I didn't really know about
that because you said you said like spooky stories.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Wasn't really sure. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Recently before this episode watch the south Park episode on Labuba.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I haven't seen it yet and I really want to.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They were telling Okay, so when I bought when I
bought this one, when Chris and I went, they were
talking about how south Park had just done an episode
on it, and we we have been talking about recently.
We're like, oh, man, like south Park is really going
after Trump and he's constantly talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Like it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
How they hard it's on Paramount plus now okay, because
it used to be on like HBO or something. Saw
something different now, So I had to wait until I
was house sitting at a house with the Paramount to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So they did watch it. It was it was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They did like you know, I won't spoil it, but
there was demon stuff and it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Was Yeah, it was just great.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I just feel like I can understand where people think, like,
you know, like the La booboos, they do have sort
of like a it's mischievous, like urging on me, nefarious,
like the look of that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Let me see these teeth again. I think it's really
just like the teeth the little you see mm hmmm,
he looks mischievous.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Possibly, like I said, like possibly a little nif No,
not at all, No, I don't, nope, stop that. But
so like, the thing that was frustrating to me is
like there's really like not much like the people that
have like their Reddit stories and stuff that I that
(23:30):
I read. I was like, okay, whatever, that's like your
own like personal experience, right, But the people that are
drawing like these parallels to them being like demonic or
satanic or whatever, like based on what because they're saying
it looks like pozzuzu, which also it fucking doesn't to me.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I like to look that up, but I was like,
what is wrong with pozzuzo? I don't even like.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
What's actually wrong with fucking made up?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Okay, that's because you didn't mention that. That's why I
think I didn't actually go look at up.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Are you people fucking delusional?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yes? Yeah, I mean they attacked like Harry Potter, you
know the witch you know the witchcraft, which they are
witches and wizards.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Okay, but like whatever, they were the fucking wholesome though,
I know. Okay, So for my sanity though, I need
you to like just look up, I need you to
look up pazzuzu and pazuki.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
No oh he's got a way bruh. Hell yeah, look
at that snake way. Oh my god, it's that the
photo though I can kind of see zoom in on this,
I can see the teeth seek.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Thee crime is that it has teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It might have nine trip teeth.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I go to type in pazuzu because I want to
do my own Google image search and guess what it says.
Like all I started doing was typing in pozuosu.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Google starts like it gives you like the suggestions dash
fictional character, but Jesus Christ, people get a fucking grip.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But yeah, it really doesn't.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I mean, like Cassie in the movie, what it looks
like looks like a because it is modeled after like
a Mesopotamian god. Right, So, but like in the Exorcist
that looks evil like it doesn't have cute big eyes
like a little baby bunny.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I think it's just the sharp teeth, Like.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
The teeth aren't even like sharp in the same way though. Look,
those are just ugly.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They're not they're not.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And I was looking at like a statue where the
teeth did look jagged, but they were like the bottom
teeth too.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So yeah, like it doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Please, someone explained to me how Pazuzu looks anything like Laboo.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's like the big eyes, but his eyes aren't big,
they're just like.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Someone o, the little Boo boo eyes are like oblong,
like an oval.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I don't know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
It was crazy to me, But then of course my
brain goes like, what's the wrong with Pazuzu. What did
he ever do besides be a fictional fucking characters pretty fictional.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's why I didn't research it because I was like, oh,
it's not even real. No, it's like literally the dumbest
thing ever. So moving on.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
This is like right after the text chain about the
La Boo Boos and I was like, whatever, yeah, I
do your thing. I hung out with my cousin and
she had like a little uh it was like a
cat on her bag and I didn't really I didn't
know what laboobos looked like at that point yet. I
hadn't Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I didn't even google it because I was like I
don't even care, Like I just don't care. And I
asked her. I was like, is that a little boo boo?
And she was like, no, it's a jelly Cat?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Which is that a another PopMart like it might be
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I've heard jelly Cat something similar, okay, And I did
have to like re ask her recently. I was like, Hey,
what was that thing on your back? Remember when I
asked you about the booby.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Something about like a jam see line, Oh.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What was that jam feline on your back? It's a
jelly cat, so that was interesting. So he kind of
was like, I was figuring out different little things along
the way. But then so she showed me a picture
of what the boobies are, and I was like, when
I saw the teeth, I was like, do I hate
these things because I like creepy shit?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, why wouldn't I really torn? Weren't you? I was
very torn? And then you guys were like bringing up Ferbie,
and I loved my furbie even it was creepy. I
got creepy.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So I had a really complicated relationship with my Ferbie.
I heard yeah, I heard yeah. I loved my Ferbie.
It often talked I think it, you know, at random times.
But I just wasn't freaked.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Out by it.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No, no, literally though, like you're supposed to be able
to like put them to sleep because like people don't
want them waking up their kids and stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Right, my furbie didn't have a sleep. It didn't want one.
Not mind too either. It didn't get it. No, it
would go it's dark or something like that.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
I don't like that. I feel like I remember that
being one of the things.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That covered It's a little like, yeah, it'd be like
it's dark. I did like when it would want to
go to sleep, so it would go yeah or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
The little snoring noise is really cute. I feel like
that was very endearing.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I remember that anyway. I like my Ferbie. That was
my comment on that.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
At one point when you were talking about the knockoff
la boo boos, and you're like, there's something just not
quite right about them. That's why people describe the not DearS,
So these are like not la boo boo.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And I can't remember if I said this in the
episode or not, but I think I remember saying to
Chris it's kind of like Congress trying to explain porn,
like you know it when you see it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It is true though, because I did.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We just talked about how I chased down a little
girl at the store the other day and yelled at
her is that a la boo boo?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And she was like, it's a little fivo. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
She did say, uh, yeah, it was a knockoff. But
then looking at the pictures and then feeling like holding
your real booboos, I was like, oh, yeah, you can tell.
There was like hard indentations on the feet. It had
like a really long weird tag.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
One of the teeths wasn't. One of the toothies was
a colored. They were just there were nine teeth though,
but they were all white.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I thought, is it is not it's nine for the
legit and ten for the knockoff usually okay, but.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
This might have just been like a such a hardcore knockoff.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, Ninete, I.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Was gonna say, I don't know that it's I don't
It's like in a Lafu foo.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It was like a knockoff lafufu.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, knock off of a knockoff.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
The other thing is all they have to do is
make enough things just slightly different so that it's not
considered trademark infringement.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I feel like the colored the one colored tooth is
like a big thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I mean they have so many different designs and stuff.
I think Chris and I were looking at the one.
I think it's the secret one from this has big bergie.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yes, I want that one.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Who doesn't like black and gray with like rainbow teeth, like.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
That's my laboo boo. But when I saw him, I
was like, okay, I'm in. Yeah, let's go. I knew it.
I knew it, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Honestly. We were standing there in the line and Chris
is like, they actually have a lot of them? Are
they really that hard to find? And he was like
is this super expensive? Like and he started looking at
Facebook Marketplace and I was like, bitch, I already listened
to a whole show where they were talking about they
went to like all of the place where you can
get them, right, So they got one through I think
(31:04):
the PopMart app, which is like, that's like unless you
get it from like a pop mart, like whether it's
a roboshop the app, or you go to the like
actual like retail store like brick and mortar, that's like
the only ways that you can really be sure that
you're getting a legit one. Because they bought one, like
I think they bought theirs through the app, They bought
(31:25):
one through eBay, and they bought one through Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And guess how many of those.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Three Laboo boos were lafufous two two, two out of three?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Oh man? Yeah, And Chrystal was like, oh, look at this.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He was like, oh yeah, no, I feel like you
way overpaid blah blah blah blah blah. He was like, also,
you can get them at the pop mart for like
this much. And I was like, oh, can you really
Why don't you go ahead and drive down towards the
Clackamus Law and you just tell me how much luck
you have just.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Waltzing in and buying a La Boo Boo off the shelf.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, they're sold out. Yeah, they're like literally sold out.
Like sometimes you can get lucky through the app. I
did see at one point before I was ready to
like actually get one, I was like, oh, look like
there were some that was available through the app, Like
you can get ones that are like you can't, like
(32:17):
you won't be able to find them somewhere, Like you're
not gonna be able to walk into the store and
get one, but you might be able to get it
through the app.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
If you're lucky, you got to get that app. You
got to get the app.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Bitch.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I think we should go to your super secret spot
and give me a labooboo.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Today we were talking about it. We might if we
have time. Yeah, we'll make time. Who cares about our
regular episode? We can do that later, Yeah, we can
record remote whatever. I think that was kind of like it.
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I thought your Tarot card was totally perfect for it
because it was talking about like creating something that you love.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Being profitable to like was just labuobo right.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I know, honestly, I was like, oh, profitable, so you're.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Saying I should just like I don't know, like is
there a boo boo etf or something like oh.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And I was very like impressed that you didn't pull
the double card because that, to me just proves like
they're not demonic.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They're you pulled like Ace of Cups. That's like a
good I feel like it.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, that's like pure energy.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah. I think it was a cup.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I think it was a cup of yeahs apes of cups.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
So yeah, I think I just proved that they were yeah, loyal.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Well, and you know how I feel about the Ace
of Cups specifically from that deck because it has that
blue hydrangea and I saw I saw, uh.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Somebody commented on the tech talk.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
That we made with the tarot card and they were
like that flower looks like a brain. And I was like,
oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how much I
was like, oh my god, you're so right. I was like,
nobody has ever said this thing. It's like this like
spicy little thought in my you know, spicy brain when hydrange.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, it's a hydrange hydrange. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
But that was like one of my grandma's Like that's
like one of her favorite flowers, and she had like
that like specific like kind of few of.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
That, like really pretty like blue.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yes, she had in her yard, multiple yards and houses
that they lived in over the years.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
And so like I like that card.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I'm sorry, I'm like no, it like literally that, like
it has grandma's sign off. If that card comes up,
like she's like, listen, live your life.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I saw the Uh I saw the picture of the
card you pulled, and I was like, oh, she pulled
her grandma's card again.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of course she did.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, obviously I kind of like spoiled it in the beginning.
I'm a fan of Labooboo. Now I really like to
like things. Yeah, if I can, just I know that
I have like this kind of hipster mentality sometimes where
if it's something really popular, I'm like.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
It, I feel like it's it's like very crap of you.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, but I know that about myself. That's why I
like to research things and like figure things out because
I know that once I just like look into it
and see the details of it, see how it was made,
where it comes from.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I know I'm gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So I okay, So I've to tell you I knew.
I knew it was a fucking game over when Chris
showed me the video of Puddles at the game dressed
up as a luboobo and I was like, Oh, she's
so gone. I was like, and I texted you and
Taylor that day and I was like, oh shit, Cassie
is like she may have won a battle here or there,
(35:33):
but I am winning the war on this front. She's
gonna be obsessed and good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, you got me. I even wrote at the end
of my notes, here buy one question mark. They're so cute,
and I, you know, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Like I'm not like deep into like K pop or
you know, and.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
They're super cute. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I'm not going to go and like sleep in a
you know, lawn chair out in front of like the
PopMart store or anything.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
But like now that I found I just like had
a hack. Like if I have have like come across this,
I probably would never own one.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
But like, hello, he looks like Rainbow Sherbert.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I know, I feel like he's a perfect one for you.
He really is.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I'm getting that secret one, I hope. So I can
feel it in my bones. I'm gonna go and I'm
gonna like feel out which one's the secret one because
I know it's there.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I see that.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Okay, so this is some place that I shop a lot.
So the person that like pulled it down from like
the shelf for us, Chris and I were like, well,
because they had multiple different like like the additions, you know,
because there's different like kind of lines of them. There's
like the big Energy, there's like the Mochi one, and
there was like one other one there. So they have
(36:57):
three different kinds you could get and had multiple options
of each.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
And I was like.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Chris was like, really don't know, let's get and he
was like, oh, can we get from like the second
row in the middle.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
So he had a feeling about it, yeah, And I was.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Like that's the like yep. I was like you feel
good about that and he was like, yep, that's the one. Okay.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, he's he's really coming into his intuition. I think
you're I think you're helping him along.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, well oh well maybe if I go get a
la booo, we'll come back and open it. Yeah, and
put it in the video. Okay, if we have time, if.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
We have time, okay, okay, previous two thirty okay, by wait,
oh okay.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Have a day.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Sure you're not, Everything's fine.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
We leave candles on because we're so excited to go
and get love O love O bolhi going. Oh my god,
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
So I asked to feel its energy, and this one
it felt warm when I was touching the top. So
we got this one, and we're one hundred percent positive
it is the one in seventy two secret editions. We
know it's in here. Okay, you guys ready, I'm opening it.
I almost opened it in the car and said, fuck y'all,
(38:40):
oh y'all creepy people. I really liked your SMR.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
So now I'm doing it, but I'm not very good
at it. Yeah, that one just kind of like ripped off.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's okay, So there's stuff down in the bottom.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Do I look at it first or actually you should
open it.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I'm glad you didn't see the thing inside of it first.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Okay, oh, okay, is it Luck.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I think it's Luck.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I think it's the one we were talking about in
the car, which, honestly, okay. I like to live my
life in confidence where I'm just like, I go around
thinking I'm gonna get whatever I want if the universe
gives me what I need. Yeah, so I had a
feeling I might get So you can look at the side,
(39:44):
but if you look down in there, I just have
just show.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You what you get.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
It is luck.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
So cute and I'm lucky. No, this is the perfect one.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
So we were talking about how like if I didn't
yet the secret one, that this is the one I wanted,
and I kind of had a feeling it was this
one anyway, Like, yeah, I don't know why because Luck it's.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Tough, man, It's it just seemed right, like Luck seemed
fitting for my first la boo boo. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I like that on these ones too, they're like little
hang tags are color match.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yes, yeah, I love my love purple sparky, Yes, I
do love purple. Oh, it's toes are painted.
Speaker 7 (40:32):
Oh yeah, did you not notice that yellow toe?
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, they kind of blend in with the color. I
didn't really notice, but the purple toasts really stand out.
A purple toe let's hold up both of our La
Boo Booth luck and loyalty for Cassie and Caitlin. I
feel like that's so on brand. I like that.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, okay, I feel like I'm it's gonna I wish
my shelf was bigger. I've been thinking about changing my shelf. Yeah, shit,
your waist shine, hang it from the chandelier.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Well that one chick in the Reddit story she hung
it from the lampshade. Oh yeah, so, I mean I
think I talked about this in the episode.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I kind of touched on it.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I did find a bunch of stuff, Like there was
an Instagram video that I found where they were showing
you like a trick where you like kind of twist
the little like hang tie thing and you make it
so it shortens up the thing. Because what people have
been doing kind of like the pickpockets in like you know,
like touristy places, they'll go and they'll just snip it,
(41:45):
and so people have been doing that with La Boo
Boos because god, yeah, so they were shortening up their
little like tag thing. And I forget how she did
it exactly, but it like there's an actual video of
her suit she shows you like it's like it's not complicated.
I just I just don't remember. So now there's targets
on our backs.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
I was thinking that I was like, I want because
I well, I wouldn't because I already have something there
from my mirror.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
But I was I would be cute to hang from
your mirror.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
But well, if it's not in your house, break in
your car or your car in your car. Yeah yeah, no,
I know people hang them on their purses too, like
they have a key ring or they you know, so yeah,
like the theft of them like on that more like
inner personal level is like can be pretty prevalent.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Scared, Yeah, I worry for like the little kids that
like the girl that I stopped the other day that
could easily have been someone trying to just steal her
a little boo boo, yeah, not knowing it was a
looft not.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
I mean even the loof fufuos are I think you know, yeah,
I think they can be a target too, Like be
careful everybody. Even the loafufus can be expensive because they
have kind of their own step cult following.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I mean that was kind of part of the episode too.
I guess you did talk about like the theft. Yeah, yeah,
there was like a true crime element.
Speaker 3 (43:08):
Yeah, but I mean it's not even just that, but
it's also that Like so it's kind of like a
it's like a division, right, It's almost like preppy versus
like the jocks or like you know versus the theater
kids or like whatever two groups you want to say,
like opposing, you know. So there's like the ones that
like they really like value and they want like legit
(43:30):
la boo boo. And then there are people that have
been able to find lafufous other places and they almost
like they like cherish how they're like kind of imperfect,
right yeah, And I'm like, oh, I totally get I
totally like see the appeal in like kind of both ways,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
I get that. Yeah, well especially too if you can't
afford it, like I think, well fufoos too.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
They've like That's what I was saying, is like now
like gone up, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
I mean to get a decent like lafouf foo.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Now it's like that's a thing too, where it's like
now even the fake ones are like you can find
them where they're just as much and sometimes even more, because.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Then you've got to get fakes of fakes because the
little girls stilling the hers was only twenty bucks. Yeah, yeah,
but I don't unfortunately remember where she said she got him.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
So yeah, Facebook marketplace has a ton of them, and
obviously I think, you know, we kind of talked about,
you know, there's a lot of places where you can,
in theory, get some version of.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
A Luboo food, a Luboo foo.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, so I mean whichever one it is, you know,
but yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's like that is
one of the things that I like, was not liking about.
I don't like having to spend, you know, a ton
of money on things that are cool and then like
having people make fun of you for having a knockoff
or whatever, Like can we just all agree that all
of it's cool and whatever you choose to wear or
(44:57):
do or do with your money is cool.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
I do like that there's an element of the fandom
that's like, hey, we don't want to spend like crazy
money or whatever, but we're.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Still fans, we're still stands.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
I kind of like that. For like the lafufu side
of things.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
But yeah, yeah like it. But I did you know,
I'm fortunate enough to have a little extra cash, which I.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Honestly could have spent on bills. But we all know
how Cassie feels about money. Yeah, and I would rather
have a little la boo wo than throw my money
back for paying my credit card.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
So whatever, who cares. I can't take it with you.
I can't take it with me.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
And I worked really hard this summer, okay, which is
you know, we took a break from the pod, but
we did not take a break from other work. Yeah,
from anything else ever.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
So I this laboobo.
Speaker 7 (45:52):
Blood, sweat and tears literally, yeah, a.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Little bit, photo shooting, a wedding, blood slaton tears literally
all of those things, yeah and more.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, let's go. Let's go to our actual episode.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
All right, all right, we already say goodbye, Okay, bye,
I do worry that through the making fun and researching
the world of La Boo Boos, one might accidentally end
up loving La Boo Boos, And I say.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Maybe that's my issue.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, maybe I just needed to look into it a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, he's so Cute's kind of spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Obviously I have some feelings for Labooboo now, so yeah,
we'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is a Laboo bonus. Let them on our els,
did you guys miss me?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm back for Laboo Bonus because I couldn't stay away
from Labuo Boo, no matter how how hard I tried
and manifested to not be here for the Labuo bo episode.
I was kind of upset that I didn't get to
be there for that because I really did want to
as much as I was joking about it, Yeah, I
was interested in figuring, like what it was all about
(01:01):
because I had I had judgments. I had preconceived notions,
which I do sometimes, and that's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Judgie, make judge your son.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
So I want to read you, guys, just just the
beginning of this Luboo journey. So Caitlin starts off by
sending a La Booboo episode from a podcast called Sounds
Like a Cult, which you might have heard of. It's
pretty it's a pretty good show. Shit, I didn't screenshot
like the very original thing. You said something about La
Boo Wu might have like scary stories, it might be
(01:32):
like associated with spooky stuff, and so you're like.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Sending it to me. I assume so that I could
do an episode on it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, you were like, could not be less interested? Fuck
off and die basically, So I'm gonna I'm going to read.
I'm going to read the reactions.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So I say, lol, all caps, that's all you If
you want to steal a paranormal up you say, but
ha ha ha ha, let me get how many hot No,
I'm just kidding. Don't try and temp me with a
good time. I'm seriously considering it. Spoiler alert. She did it,
and then Taylor says, I'd love to do a lu
(02:08):
Boo Boo episode.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh my god. Caylan says, oh, are you a fan
enjoying people watching with the trend? Tell me more?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And then I said, oh my god, I had the
best idea, you guys do it together, because that sounds
like torture.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
If I have to hear.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Loboo fucking boo one more lo booing time. But I
did the mad, angry, the cussing face because I've just
been hearing it a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Obviously it's in the culture now, Like.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, and You're like, I don't know what it is,
so this is annoying. I literally had no idea and like, yeah,
boo boos just sound so anyway, I just like snap
judged it basically by the name. So Taylor said, I'm
obsessed with watching the trend. I'm not a stranger to boxes,
but I feel like I've never seen one that's so
(03:03):
clearly a mass cultural coping distraction, dopamine seeking mechanism.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Also, I love how Taylor talks. I know, I know,
and the name is so stupid. It sounds like something
from a cartoon making fun of consumer consumerism and capitalist hellscape,
which is like, that's basically what I kind of thought too. Yeah,
Caitlyn says, damn, she's tapping out to me. I assume yes,
and then it says you still have to edit either way, suka,
(03:31):
and I said.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'll hire out, which I didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I edited it okay, as far as we know. Well, like,
in response to that right, right.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, you commented to me about things that were in
the episode, like in real time, and I was like.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And I also added a clapping feature when you managed
to remember to say P and B A F nasty.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't listen to the episode yet, I know christed,
but I was like, clearly that was Cassie adding that
for yeah, yeah, anyway, Okay, back to the story.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So, in response to kind of what Tailor said about
the consumer capitalism healthscape, I say, we're literally living black
mirror right now a little bit. Uh She says a
lot of these shows are starting to feel like guide
books for the powers that be.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I say, our imitating life, imitating our imitating life. The
exception of it all makes my head's hurt plural, is
what I said. And I also may have waked and baked.
It's fine, it was my day off. H Tailing goes
on to say, do you ever say woke in boke?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
My god, the woken both woken bok. That's why I
like added this little tangent because it was so cute.
Uh So that's what she calls it in her head.
And then I said, I'll start saying, woken boke, I
woke in both this morning. There's a little bit more.
This is kind of the funny part. So Kaylan says
there's a PopMart at the clack of a small dewey smell,
a field trip and I say, I don't know what
(05:06):
that is.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Ha ha. Then she says, oh my.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
God, and a robot shop at Washington Square. Okay, I'm
researching it, but I'm so sorry, Cassie. I think this
is fully happening. And I say, I also don't know
what that is. You say, but haha, it's related to
the La Boo Boos. And I say, oh no, I'm
busy that day.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And then this last part it's just like we manifested
this entire thing. I think.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So this last part, Taylan says, I do worry that
through the making fun and researching the world of La
Boo Boos, one might accidentally end up loving La Boo Boos.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And I say, maybe that's my issue. Yeah, maybe I
just need to look into it a little bit. Yeah, Hi,
he's so cute.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What's kind of spoiler alert? Obviously I have some feelings
for Labooboo now, so yeah, we'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Okay, it's just kidding. I'm not gonna you know they do.
I don't know because they're based off of real things,
like do they have a sound they have to write?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't fully know the full story like the lore. Yeah,
I just heard the episode, so I know what it's.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Like based on a book, So I don't know that
there's actually like any true like audio.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Aspect of Maybe they had some like what's that called
when you do a word that sounds like a like
a mon a P. Yeah, I was like, mau, what's
that mao? Why? Honestly la boo boo?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like I think so too, But anyway, maybe there's like
an automatopia sound the thing like.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Anyway, that's what I was thinking. I'm like, I'm assuming
that there could be some sort of like description of
that and various characteristics.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We'll listen to it more and you guys let us
know if you want to come to us with your
own research.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
If you are obsessed, uh, tell us about it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I think on your website you can send like voicemails
and stuff. So if you want to record yourself like
making the la boo boo.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The sound, what does a booboo sound like, record it,
send it to us. We'll have la booboo call oh
my god competitions like they do.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That'd be great, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So what I do when I make fun of things
is I kind of like make it into another word.
So I was like saying la boob I was spelling
it b oo b ooh, I was saying labub like
qq lab boo a foo. I was gonna say lala balooza,
lalla boo booza something like that. And then I was like,
(08:08):
la your booboo like la yourna ooh, And you fucking
were talking about a story with a woman weeping like
one of the dolls.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
All those doll.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Stories were those from La boo boos or okay where
that's what I was like, that's what I was getting.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, that's kind of creepy.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I kind of want to go back to that story
and like, see, was that a law your booboo, Like
was that a weeping la corona la boo boo combination?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean that mashup.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's like the assumption from from the op. So yeah,
that's creepy, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So I totally wrote that before I even heard the episode,
and I'm like, I went back and I wrote.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh
my god. I wrote this before and I'm editing. I'm
freaking out all cats. So that's kind of what I do.
I just was like, maybe, also, you mentioned they should
be in some sort of creepy doll museum, and I
was like, are there creepy doll museums or are you
(09:13):
thinking of like where Annabell is, like.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
The no, like we even remember we interviewed and now
I'm not going to remember the name, but we interviewed.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
What is it? It's but it's something, yes.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I was like, I kept wanting to say, like scary
time toys, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Unsettling okay, because that's not like a museum.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's not like a place you are, like museums that
have dolls and like haunted artifacts and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So that's kind of what I was. I was like, Yeah,
creepy doll museum. Does she mean like the.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Haunted like like Eda Lorraine Warrens, like haunted doll where
Annabelle lives.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Like probably not anything to do with Ed Lorraine. I
was like, definitely. What popped into my head was unsettling toys.
I was like, yeah, like they seem equipped tour any
of what we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Here, but kind of we're gonna go off on just
a little bit of a tangent because it does relate
to something I did recently.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So I went to see the new Conjuring.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Love.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I love the Conjuring movies. I don't even care like
they're great.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They're great scary, just scary, the classic scary movie, just scary,
a lot of jump scary scary imagery. I love Ghosty
love it. So I'm a freak right, Well, yeah, I
have this all from Unsettling Toys. And she is a
raggedy Ann.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And Raggedy Ann's if you guys don't know that is
the original Annabelle Doll was a raggedy Ann doll.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh so she's.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Just like this big raggedy Ann. She's not actually scary
as the movies uh make her look.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I was gonna say that Annabell Doll looks more like
like a traditional like kind of a porcelain doll.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
She looks kind of like a ventriloquist doll.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yes, yes, yes, like a cross between like a porcelain
doll and like a ventriloquis dummy.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, and she's like human size, Like she's like kids
size in the movies, but in real life she's I
think she's one of the bigger raggedy andols because they
have like bigger ones.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I have a smaller Let me explain Annie. Ex blind yourself,
My Annabelle. My Annie is the sweetest little girl.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Like she reminds me of your little clown like I
think that they would be like for hernesties.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yes, okay, that like her energy.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Once I got her, she's just like like the cutest
little smile. She has great energy. I did ask why
they got rid of her. They just because, uh, Unsettling
Toys is a haunted all rehoming service. So you give
them your haunted dolls. They'll rehome with them. Yeah, rehome
in them rehoman eminem. The person just said it was
creepy at night, and I was like, I feel like it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Everything's creepy.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Everything's creepy at night. She's got you know, she's a doll.
I get no bad vibes from her whatsoever. Like, okay,
I opened her up. I just had great vibe. She
hangs out in my room. She sits like next to
my bed. She's just I love her. Were you upset
that it felt like yours? Like, wasn't like haunty a
(12:15):
little like creepy, You're like a little okay, but I
love I just felt I felt a connection to her
right away because when I was I had wanted an
Annabelle doll, like I wanted to have an Annabelle like creepy,
raggedy ant all and yeah, my mom used to.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Have like the bigger ones.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, and she's since gotten rid of them, unfortunately, but
I really wanted hers, and I was like, ah, dang it.
So I've been searching for one, and it had been
like a week since I'd been thinking about it, and
I just, you know, popped on Instagram and saw that
they had one, and I was like, oh, killing pa,
can I have her? Like she's mine? Immediately got her,
like it was just so easy.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So it worked out.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But I wanted to bring little Annie on a field
trip to go see the content because I thought that
would be hilarious, Okay, and it was. I also wore
my two girls when goes the Conjuring Tour hoodie because
just like.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
A theme, you know, yeah, no, wait, it's all about
the theme.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's all about the theme. It's all about the theme.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And we can I'll insert picture of Cassie and Annie
at the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
She ate a lot of my popcorn. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Anyway, so I took her to the movies. I thought
it would be funny.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Honestly, I don't think anyone really got it, because I
don't think people.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Actually, they don't make the association.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Unless you're like a hardcore paranormal nerd, right, you don't
really know that Annabel looks like raggedy and.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
So I also though, would just be like, oh my god,
this person is doing this like clearly like for the
edit for the gram because like they're bringing a doll
to a creepy doll movie.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You would think. But the concessions person was like, oh,
what movie are you seeing? And I'm like, story, this
is Annah Bell. I'm going to see the Conjuring.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But anyway, okay, yeah, this is the best part. You guys,
scare boys. It's so fun at concessions. You know, I'm
trying to like get my wallet out and pay and
I got this doll. And so the person I'm with
was a man I was not on a date. It's
a very good friend. I was being like annoying little
sister vibes.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, but I was like, hey, here hold my doll.
He's never invited me anywhere ever. Get it's so funny. Yeah, no,
that's fair. It sounds like so I made him hold
my doll at concessions.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But like the whole time, I was thinking, like, if
I was on a date, I would do this exact say, like,
this would be how you weed out the weirdos on
a date, right, I guess, so you're like, if you're
not into or how.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
They weird, they weed you out as the weirdo're weird.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Please leave, Like I just need to know immediately, So
like for state, I'm going to do something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I just know that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So I just wanted to give that advice to everybody too. Okay, yeah,
I'm scaring voice is really fun. Well, someone I date
with a girl, then I might you know, yeah, okay,
it's a different vibe.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, but it was a good time.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Bringing Annabelle she did I don't know, Okay, I don't
know if it was her me because we were sitting
in like the butt the butt jiggly seats that were
all like once they vibrate you for like the jump
scares when things get loud, like, I don't like that.
I didn't love it, and I was like kind of
startled by it, I think, but I thought I thought.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It was Annie.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So a very scary like preview came on, and it
was very scary, and I just got like this, I
got a vibration, but I felt like energy. She was
sitting right here in my little arm and I just
like felt energy from her, like she was scared, and
so I wrapped her and I turned her around and I.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Like held her to me.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I was like, you don't want need to watch this
preview like it's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And once it was over, I put her back. She
was fine for the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
She really liked the parts where Annabel where she could
see herself because Annabel was in the movie.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
She liked those like that.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, how did she feel about her namesake behavior throughout
the movie?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
She thinks it's funny. Oh okay, she thinks it's really funny.
She's like, because that's not her.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
She knows it's like kind of based off of something
that looks like her. She knows it's not actually her.
She really likes that they changed the look of Annabel.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Because she's like, I don't want to be guilty by association.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm talking so seriously, but I kind of believe I
kind of believe it. But anyway, we had a good time.
I gave her popcorn and some little nerd candies.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Oh okay, So back to what were we talking about?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Labooboos boo boos. I know, how the hell did we
get here because like conjuring, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But I know the timing lined up.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It was like I was doing the laboo boo thing
and talking about spooky stuff the doll.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's where I got the doll. It all, yeah, and
then yeah, it was like just timed out. Well, it
timed out that hurt, like her brain.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I did really love the fact that it like totally
was meant to be for Chris to do this episode.
And I was like thinking that I wrote it down
and then you'd even like seid it seriously and then
this was like right before he was like, oh my god,
I just saw puddles dressed like la boo boo, and
I was like, yeah, yeah, totally meant to be that.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Okay, So this is really funny because then this came
up last night because he was seeing all the stuff
that we post to the socials from our episode, and
he was like, oh, I hope people don't come after
us for calling the doc Puddles.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And I was like, oh, is that not? Isn't that
his like?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
And he was like, well, so technically Puddles was like
an actual duck that the college had like a.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And he's like, so presumably Puddles is jad and like
the actual like mascot now is just called duck.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I was like, well, obviously if it's supposed to
look like Puddles, Like it's like like why like we
used to have an actual duck and now we have
a mascot, but like we're changing then, like.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
No, duck, Puddles souch better.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's adorable. I was like, Okay, well that's dumb. I
was like, nobody come for us because we don't give
a shit.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I also get yeah, I give two shits about fucking football,
Like I couldn't give two shits about football.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I do know fucks about football, zero fucks and zerosious.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I love that Taylor Swift loves it. I love that
she got, you know, a bunch of girls into football who.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They love it. I don't love it yet.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm not there, But maybe I just need to research
more of it, because apparently once I look something up,
I just become a fan of the stand of it.
Just that's your default. But I'm not ready to fall
in love with football yet. It's just too much I
come of it, you know, So I'm not ready. Uh anyway,
so totally worked out. I love that he had no idea, like, yeah, boogoo,
(19:24):
who even was because I had already had my like
preconceived notions obviously.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So I just like that there was a fresh, a
different view on it that wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
And like, you just cannot make this stuff up because
he's like he hadn't heard a single like nothing, This
was not like somehow this like major part of the
cultural like zeitgeist. He's just like has zero exposure to
up to this point. He didn't make it to his
algorithm yet, no, and he was like, so, who the
fuck is this? And I'm like, we're speaking of algorithms
(19:58):
every time I go on Instagram now it's laboobo. I
didn't look up anything la boobo on fucking Instagram all now,
it's just all la boo booths all of it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Honestly, I'm getting like Facebook ads, I'm getting you know,
in Gmail, how they have like the sponsored like ad
shit that shows up in like your inbox and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm getting la boo boo stuff there.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Ah boy, the Internet. Yeah, I say not to track me,
and they everything all my ways. Don't track me, don't
track it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
They fucking know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, anyway, it's fine. Annoying, but okay, so you talked
about them being a demon.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
And it was like everything's a fucking demon, like Lorae
Lawren say, basically, everything's a demon. Oh one more thing
about the movie just quickly. But I appreciated at the very.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
End, so we all know, well, if you're in this culture,
in this like paranoral world, you know that they're controversial.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah. I did appreciate the end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They said that while you know, what they did was
controversial because they thought everything as a demon, they're trying
to exercise everybody, which is problematic. Yeah, they said that
they were, you know, kind of pioneers in the field.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
They were talking about it when nobody else was.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And yeah, you know, they made it kind of more
mainstream and easy to talk about, and so that's kind
of what where the appreciation for them comes in. Yeah. Yeah,
and being a fan of like the movies and stuff,
because the movies show that they portray them in a
way better light than they actually were.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I was gonna say, I feel like a lot of that,
like the content that's out there about them probably is
a little more forgiving than yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, but yeah, we appreciate that they you know, made
paranormal things okay to talk about.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Anyway, Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, So you talked about them being a demon, which
is kind of funny because I didn't really know about
that because you said you said like spooky stories.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Wasn't really sure. Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Recently before this episode watch the south Park episode on Labuba.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
I haven't seen it yet and I really want to.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They were telling Okay, so when I bought when I
bought this one, when Chris and I went, they were
talking about how south Park had just done an episode
on it, and we we have been talking about recently.
We're like, oh, man, like south Park is really going
after Trump and he's constantly talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Like it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
How they hard it's on Paramount plus now okay, because
it used to be on like HBO or something. Saw
something different now, So I had to wait until I
was house sitting at a house with the Paramount to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So they did watch it. It was it was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They did like you know, I won't spoil it, but
there was demon stuff and it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Was Yeah, it was just great.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
I just feel like I can understand where people think, like,
you know, like the La booboos, they do have sort
of like a it's mischievous, like urging on me, nefarious,
like the look of that.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Let me see these teeth again. I think it's really
just like the teeth the little you see mm hmmm,
he looks mischievous.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Possibly, like I said, like possibly a little nif No,
not at all, No, I don't, nope, stop that. But
so like, the thing that was frustrating to me is
like there's really like not much like the people that
have like their Reddit stories and stuff that I that
(23:30):
I read. I was like, okay, whatever, that's like your
own like personal experience, right, But the people that are
drawing like these parallels to them being like demonic or
satanic or whatever, like based on what because they're saying
it looks like pozzuzu, which also it fucking doesn't to me.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I like to look that up, but I was like,
what is wrong with pozzuzo? I don't even like.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
What's actually wrong with fucking made up?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Okay, that's because you didn't mention that. That's why I
think I didn't actually go look at up.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Are you people fucking delusional?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yes? Yeah, I mean they attacked like Harry Potter, you
know the witch you know the witchcraft, which they are
witches and wizards.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Okay, but like whatever, they were the fucking wholesome though,
I know. Okay, So for my sanity though, I need
you to like just look up, I need you to
look up pazzuzu and pazuki.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
No oh he's got a way bruh. Hell yeah, look
at that snake way. Oh my god, it's that the
photo though I can kind of see zoom in on this,
I can see the teeth seek.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Thee crime is that it has teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It might have nine trip teeth.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I go to type in pazuzu because I want to
do my own Google image search and guess what it says.
Like all I started doing was typing in pozuosu.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
No.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Google starts like it gives you like the suggestions dash
fictional character, but Jesus Christ, people get a fucking grip.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But yeah, it really doesn't.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I mean, like Cassie in the movie, what it looks
like looks like a because it is modeled after like
a Mesopotamian god. Right, So, but like in the Exorcist
that looks evil like it doesn't have cute big eyes
like a little baby bunny.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I think it's just the sharp teeth, Like.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
The teeth aren't even like sharp in the same way though. Look,
those are just ugly.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They're not they're not.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
And I was looking at like a statue where the
teeth did look jagged, but they were like the bottom
teeth too.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So yeah, like it doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Please, someone explained to me how Pazuzu looks anything like Laboo.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's like the big eyes, but his eyes aren't big,
they're just like.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Someone o, the little Boo boo eyes are like oblong,
like an oval.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I don't know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
It was crazy to me, But then of course my
brain goes like, what's the wrong with Pazuzu. What did
he ever do besides be a fictional fucking characters pretty fictional.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's why I didn't research it because I was like, oh,
it's not even real. No, it's like literally the dumbest
thing ever. So moving on.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
This is like right after the text chain about the
La Boo Boos and I was like, whatever, yeah, I
do your thing. I hung out with my cousin and
she had like a little uh it was like a
cat on her bag and I didn't really I didn't
know what laboobos looked like at that point yet. I
hadn't Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I didn't even google it because I was like I
don't even care, Like I just don't care. And I
asked her. I was like, is that a little boo boo?
And she was like, no, it's a jelly Cat?
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Which is that a another PopMart like it might be
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I've heard jelly Cat something similar, okay, And I did
have to like re ask her recently. I was like, Hey,
what was that thing on your back? Remember when I
asked you about the booby.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Something about like a jam see line, Oh.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
What was that jam feline on your back? It's a
jelly cat, so that was interesting. So he kind of
was like, I was figuring out different little things along
the way. But then so she showed me a picture
of what the boobies are, and I was like, when
I saw the teeth, I was like, do I hate
these things because I like creepy shit?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, why wouldn't I really torn? Weren't you? I was
very torn? And then you guys were like bringing up Ferbie,
and I loved my furbie even it was creepy. I
got creepy.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So I had a really complicated relationship with my Ferbie.
I heard yeah, I heard yeah. I loved my Ferbie.
It often talked I think it, you know, at random times.
But I just wasn't freaked.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Out by it.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No, no, literally though, like you're supposed to be able
to like put them to sleep because like people don't
want them waking up their kids and stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Right, my furbie didn't have a sleep. It didn't want one.
Not mind too either. It didn't get it. No, it
would go it's dark or something like that.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
I don't like that. I feel like I remember that
being one of the things.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That covered It's a little like, yeah, it'd be like
it's dark. I did like when it would want to
go to sleep, so it would go yeah or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
The little snoring noise is really cute. I feel like
that was very endearing.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I remember that anyway. I like my Ferbie. That was
my comment on that.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
At one point when you were talking about the knockoff
la boo boos, and you're like, there's something just not
quite right about them. That's why people describe the not DearS,
So these are like not la boo boo.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
And I can't remember if I said this in the
episode or not, but I think I remember saying to
Chris it's kind of like Congress trying to explain porn,
like you know it when you see it.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It is true though, because I did.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We just talked about how I chased down a little
girl at the store the other day and yelled at
her is that a la boo boo?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And she was like, it's a little fivo. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
She did say, uh, yeah, it was a knockoff. But
then looking at the pictures and then feeling like holding
your real booboos, I was like, oh, yeah, you can tell.
There was like hard indentations on the feet. It had
like a really long weird tag.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
One of the teeths wasn't. One of the toothies was
a colored. They were just there were nine teeth though,
but they were all white.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
I thought, is it is not it's nine for the
legit and ten for the knockoff usually okay, but.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
This might have just been like a such a hardcore knockoff.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, Ninete, I.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Was gonna say, I don't know that it's I don't
It's like in a Lafu foo.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
It was like a knockoff lafufu.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, knock off of a knockoff.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
The other thing is all they have to do is
make enough things just slightly different so that it's not
considered trademark infringement.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I feel like the colored the one colored tooth is
like a big thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I mean they have so many different designs and stuff.
I think Chris and I were looking at the one.
I think it's the secret one from this has big bergie.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yes, I want that one.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Who doesn't like black and gray with like rainbow teeth, like.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
That's my laboo boo. But when I saw him, I
was like, okay, I'm in. Yeah, let's go. I knew it.
I knew it, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Honestly. We were standing there in the line and Chris
is like, they actually have a lot of them? Are
they really that hard to find? And he was like
is this super expensive? Like and he started looking at
Facebook Marketplace and I was like, bitch, I already listened
to a whole show where they were talking about they
went to like all of the place where you can
get them, right, So they got one through I think
(31:04):
the PopMart app, which is like, that's like unless you
get it from like a pop mart, like whether it's
a roboshop the app, or you go to the like
actual like retail store like brick and mortar, that's like
the only ways that you can really be sure that
you're getting a legit one. Because they bought one, like
I think they bought theirs through the app, They bought
(31:25):
one through eBay, and they bought one through Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And guess how many of those.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Three Laboo boos were lafufous two two, two out of three?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Oh man? Yeah, And Chrystal was like, oh, look at this.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He was like, oh yeah, no, I feel like you
way overpaid blah blah blah blah blah. He was like, also,
you can get them at the pop mart for like
this much. And I was like, oh, can you really
Why don't you go ahead and drive down towards the
Clackamus Law and you just tell me how much luck
you have just.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Waltzing in and buying a La Boo Boo off the shelf.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yeah, they're sold out. Yeah, they're like literally sold out.
Like sometimes you can get lucky through the app. I
did see at one point before I was ready to
like actually get one, I was like, oh, look like
there were some that was available through the app, Like
you can get ones that are like you can't, like
(32:17):
you won't be able to find them somewhere, Like you're
not gonna be able to walk into the store and
get one, but you might be able to get it
through the app.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
If you're lucky, you got to get that app. You
got to get the app.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Bitch.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I think we should go to your super secret spot
and give me a labooboo.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Today we were talking about it. We might if we
have time. Yeah, we'll make time. Who cares about our
regular episode? We can do that later, Yeah, we can
record remote whatever. I think that was kind of like it.
I did.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I thought your Tarot card was totally perfect for it
because it was talking about like creating something that you love.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Being profitable to like was just labuobo right.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
I know, honestly, I was like, oh, profitable, so you're.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Saying I should just like I don't know, like is
there a boo boo etf or something like oh.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And I was very like impressed that you didn't pull
the double card because that, to me just proves like
they're not demonic.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They're you pulled like Ace of Cups. That's like a
good I feel like it.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, that's like pure energy.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah. I think it was a cup.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I think it was a cup of yeahs apes of cups.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
So yeah, I think I just proved that they were yeah, loyal.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Well, and you know how I feel about the Ace
of Cups specifically from that deck because it has that
blue hydrangea and I saw I saw, uh.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Somebody commented on the tech talk.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
That we made with the tarot card and they were
like that flower looks like a brain. And I was like,
oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how much I
was like, oh my god, you're so right. I was like,
nobody has ever said this thing. It's like this like
spicy little thought in my you know, spicy brain when hydrange.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, it's a hydrange hydrange. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
But that was like one of my grandma's Like that's
like one of her favorite flowers, and she had like
that like specific like kind of few of.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
That, like really pretty like blue.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yes, she had in her yard, multiple yards and houses
that they lived in over the years.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
And so like I like that card.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I'm sorry, I'm like no, it like literally that, like
it has grandma's sign off. If that card comes up,
like she's like, listen, live your life.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I saw the Uh I saw the picture of the
card you pulled, and I was like, oh, she pulled
her grandma's card again.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of course she did.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, obviously I kind of like spoiled it in the beginning.
I'm a fan of Labooboo. Now I really like to
like things. Yeah, if I can, just I know that
I have like this kind of hipster mentality sometimes where
if it's something really popular, I'm like.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
It, I feel like it's it's like very crap of you.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah, but I know that about myself. That's why I
like to research things and like figure things out because
I know that once I just like look into it
and see the details of it, see how it was made,
where it comes from.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I know I'm gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So I okay, So I've to tell you I knew.
I knew it was a fucking game over when Chris
showed me the video of Puddles at the game dressed
up as a luboobo and I was like, Oh, she's
so gone. I was like, and I texted you and
Taylor that day and I was like, oh shit, Cassie
is like she may have won a battle here or there,
(35:33):
but I am winning the war on this front. She's
gonna be obsessed and good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, you got me. I even wrote at the end
of my notes, here buy one question mark. They're so cute,
and I, you know, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Like I'm not like deep into like K pop or
you know, and.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
They're super cute. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I'm not going to go and like sleep in a
you know, lawn chair out in front of like the
PopMart store or anything.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
But like now that I found I just like had
a hack. Like if I have have like come across this,
I probably would never own one.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
But like, hello, he looks like Rainbow Sherbert.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I know, I feel like he's a perfect one for you.
He really is.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I'm getting that secret one, I hope. So I can
feel it in my bones. I'm gonna go and I'm
gonna like feel out which one's the secret one because
I know it's there.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I see that.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Okay, so this is some place that I shop a lot.
So the person that like pulled it down from like
the shelf for us, Chris and I were like, well,
because they had multiple different like like the additions, you know,
because there's different like kind of lines of them. There's
like the big Energy, there's like the Mochi one, and
there was like one other one there. So they have
(36:57):
three different kinds you could get and had multiple options
of each.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
And I was like.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Chris was like, really don't know, let's get and he
was like, oh, can we get from like the second
row in the middle.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
So he had a feeling about it, yeah, And I was.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Like that's the like yep. I was like you feel
good about that and he was like, yep, that's the one. Okay.
Speaker 7 (37:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yeah, he's he's really coming into his intuition. I think
you're I think you're helping him along.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, well oh well maybe if I go get a
la booo, we'll come back and open it. Yeah, and
put it in the video. Okay, if we have time, if.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
We have time, okay, okay, previous two thirty okay, by wait,
oh okay.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Have a day.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Sure you're not, Everything's fine.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
We leave candles on because we're so excited to go
and get love O love O bolhi going. Oh my god,
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
So I asked to feel its energy, and this one
it felt warm when I was touching the top. So
we got this one, and we're one hundred percent positive
it is the one in seventy two secret editions. We
know it's in here. Okay, you guys ready, I'm opening it.
I almost opened it in the car and said, fuck y'all,
(38:40):
oh y'all creepy people. I really liked your SMR.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
So now I'm doing it, but I'm not very good
at it. Yeah, that one just kind of like ripped off.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It's okay, So there's stuff down in the bottom.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Do I look at it first or actually you should
open it.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I'm glad you didn't see the thing inside of it first.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Okay, oh, okay, is it Luck.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I think it's Luck.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I think it's the one we were talking about in
the car, which, honestly, okay. I like to live my
life in confidence where I'm just like, I go around
thinking I'm gonna get whatever I want if the universe
gives me what I need. Yeah, so I had a
feeling I might get So you can look at the side,
(39:44):
but if you look down in there, I just have
just show.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You what you get.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
It is luck.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
So cute and I'm lucky. No, this is the perfect one.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
So we were talking about how like if I didn't
yet the secret one, that this is the one I wanted,
and I kind of had a feeling it was this
one anyway, Like, yeah, I don't know why because Luck it's.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Tough, man, It's it just seemed right, like Luck seemed
fitting for my first la boo boo. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I like that on these ones too, they're like little
hang tags are color match.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Yes, yeah, I love my love purple sparky, Yes, I
do love purple. Oh, it's toes are painted.
Speaker 7 (40:32):
Oh yeah, did you not notice that yellow toe?
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, they kind of blend in with the color. I
didn't really notice, but the purple toasts really stand out.
A purple toe let's hold up both of our La
Boo Booth luck and loyalty for Cassie and Caitlin. I
feel like that's so on brand. I like that.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, okay, I feel like I'm it's gonna I wish
my shelf was bigger. I've been thinking about changing my shelf. Yeah, shit,
your waist shine, hang it from the chandelier.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Well that one chick in the Reddit story she hung
it from the lampshade. Oh yeah, so, I mean I
think I talked about this in the episode.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I kind of touched on it.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I did find a bunch of stuff, Like there was
an Instagram video that I found where they were showing
you like a trick where you like kind of twist
the little like hang tie thing and you make it
so it shortens up the thing. Because what people have
been doing kind of like the pickpockets in like you know,
like touristy places, they'll go and they'll just snip it,
(41:45):
and so people have been doing that with La Boo
Boos because god, yeah, so they were shortening up their
little like tag thing. And I forget how she did
it exactly, but it like there's an actual video of
her suit she shows you like it's like it's not complicated.
I just I just don't remember. So now there's targets
on our backs.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
I was thinking that I was like, I want because
I well, I wouldn't because I already have something there
from my mirror.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
But I was I would be cute to hang from
your mirror.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
But well, if it's not in your house, break in
your car or your car in your car. Yeah yeah, no,
I know people hang them on their purses too, like
they have a key ring or they you know, so yeah,
like the theft of them like on that more like
inner personal level is like can be pretty prevalent.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Scared, Yeah, I worry for like the little kids that
like the girl that I stopped the other day that
could easily have been someone trying to just steal her
a little boo boo, yeah, not knowing it was a
looft not.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
I mean even the loof fufuos are I think you know, yeah,
I think they can be a target too, Like be
careful everybody. Even the loafufus can be expensive because they
have kind of their own step cult following.
