  I do worry that through the making fun and researching the world of Labubu's,
• 0:05
  one might accidentally end up loving Labubu's.
• 0:08
  - Hmm. - And I say maybe that's my issue.
• 0:10
  - Yeah. - Maybe I just need to look into it a little bit.
• 0:15
  - Yeah. - He's so cute.
• 0:18
  - He's like, "What is all of the little things?"
• 0:21
  - Kind of spoiler alert. Obviously, I have some feelings for Labubu now, so we'll get into it.
• 0:28
  (soft music)
• 0:30
  - This is a Labubu bonus.
• 0:34
  - Labubu bonus.
• 0:37
  - Did you guys miss me?
• 0:39
  I'm back for Labubu bonus because I couldn't stay away from Labubu no matter how hard I tried and
• 0:48
  manifested to not be here for the Labubu episode. I was kind of upset that I didn't get to be
• 0:54
  there for that because I really didn't want to as much as I was joking about it.
• 0:57
  - Yeah, I was interested in figuring out what it was all about because I had judgments.
• 1:03
  I had preconceived notions, which I do sometimes, and that's okay.
• 1:08
  - Judgy make judges, then.
• 1:10
  - So I want to read you guys just the beginning of this LeBubu journey.
• 1:15
  So, Caitlyn starts off by sending a Labubu episode from podcasts called Sounds Like A Cult,
• 1:22
  which you might have heard of. It's pretty good show.
• 1:25
  - Shit, I didn't screenshot the very original thing. You said something about
• 1:29
  Labubu might have scary stories. It might be associated with spooky stuff.
• 1:33
  - Yeah. - So you were like sending it to me.
• 1:35
  I assume so that I could do it episode on it.
• 1:38
  - Yeah. You were like, could not be less interested.
• 1:42
  - Right.
• 1:42
  - Fuck off and die.
• 1:44
  - Basically. So I'm going to read the reactions.
• 1:47
  I say, "LOL," all caps. That's all you if you want to steal a paranormal app.
• 1:54
  - You say, "Bah-ha-ha-ha."
• 1:57
  - Let me get how many hot notes can I get?
• 1:58
  - Don't try and tempt me with a good time. I'm seriously considering it.
• 2:03
  Spoiler alert. She did it.
• 2:05
  And then, Caitlyn says, "I'd love to do a Labubu episode." Oh my god.
• 2:10
  Caitlyn says, "Oh, are you a fan?"
• 2:13
  Enjoying people watching with the trend. Tell me more.
• 2:17
  And then I said, "Oh my god, I have the best idea. You guys do it together,"
• 2:23
  because that sounds like torture.
• 2:24
  If I have to hear “Laboo-fucking-boo," one more “Labubu-ing time,"
• 2:31
  and then I did the mad angry cussing face.
• 2:37
  I just been hearing it a lot. Obviously, it's in the culture now.
• 2:42
  - And I just, I don't know what it is, so this is annoying.
• 2:45
  - I literally had no idea. And like, "Labu-s just sound Labubu-ing."
• 2:51
  So anyway, I just like snap-judged it basically by the name.
• 2:54
  - "Taylyn said that I'm obsessed with watching the trend. I'm not a stranger to blind boxes,
• 3:00
  but I feel like I've never seen one that's so clearly a mass, cultural, coping, distraction,
• 3:05
  dopamine-seeking mechanism."
• 3:07
  - "Aha?"
• 3:09
  - Also, I love how Caitlyn talks.
• 3:11
  - I know. In the name is so stupid, it sounds like something from a cartoon making fun of consumer
• 3:18
  consumerism and capitalist hellscape, which is like, "That's basically what I kind of thought too."
• 3:23
  - Yeah.
• 3:23
  - Caitlyn says, "Damn, she's tapping out to me, I assume."
• 3:28
  - Yes.
• 3:28
  - And then it says, "You still have to edit either way, Sucka,"
• 3:31
  and I said, "I'll hire out," which I didn't. I edited it, okay.
• 3:35
  - As far as we know.
• 3:37
  - Well, again, response to, right?
• 3:40
  - Right. Well, you commented to me about things that were in the episode, like in real time, and I was like,
• 3:47
  - And I also added a clapping feature when you managed to remember to say, "PNW, if you're nasty,
• 3:55
  I don't know if you listen to the episode yet."
• 3:57
  - I knew Chris did.
• 4:00
  - Well, it was like, clearly, that was Cassie adding that for you.
• 4:03
  - Yeah.
• 4:04
  - Anyway, okay, back to the story.
• 4:08
  So in response to kind of what Taylyn said about the consumer capitalism hellscape,
• 4:12
  I say we're literally living Black Mirror right now. A little bit.
• 4:17
  She says a lot of these shows are starting to feel like guidebooks for the powers that be.
• 4:22
  - Blah blah blah. I say, "Our imitating life, imitating our imitating life."
• 4:28
  - The exception of it all makes my head hurt, plural, as will I say.
• 4:34
  And I also may have waked and baked. It's fine. It was my day off.
• 4:39
  Taylor goes on to say, "Do you ever say woken-boke?"
• 4:42
  Oh my god, the woken-boke.
• 4:45
  - Woken-boke. That's why I added this little tangent because it was so cute.
• 4:48
  So that's what she calls an overhead. And then I said, "I'll start saying woken-boke."
• 4:54
  I woke in-boke this morning. There's a little bit more. This is kind of the funny part.
• 5:00
  So Kaelin says, "There's a pop-mart at the Clackamas Mall. Do we smell a field trip?" And I say,
• 5:05
  "I don't know what that is." Then she says, "Oh my god, an aerobo shop at Washington Square."
• 5:11
  Okay, I'm researching it. But I'm so sorry, Cassie. I think this is fully happening.
• 5:16
  And I say, "I also don't know what that is."
• 5:18
  You say, "Baha, it's related to the Labubus." And I say, "Oh no, I'm busy that day."
• 5:28
  (laughs)
• 5:29
  And then this last part is just like we manifested this entire thing, I think. So this last part,
• 5:36
  Taylyn says, "I do worry that through the making fun and researching the world of Lububus,
• 5:42
  one might accidentally end up loving Lububus." And I say, "Maybe that's my issue."
• 5:48
  Maybe I just need to look into it a little bit.
• 5:55
  Hi. He's so cute.
• 6:00
  Kind of spoiler alert. Obviously, I have some feelings for Labubu now. So we'll get into it.
• 6:10
  He'll love that.
• 6:14
  Okay, it's just kidding. I'm not going to read something.
• 6:17
  You know they do.
• 6:22
  I don't know because they're based off of real things. Do they have a sound?
• 6:26
  They have to, right? I don't know. I don't fully know the full story of it.
• 6:32
  Like the lore. I just heard the episode, so I know what Caitlyn knows.
• 6:35
  It's based on a book. So I don't know that there's actually any true audio aspect of it.
• 6:47
  Maybe they had some, what's that called when you do a word that sounds like a sound?
• 6:52
  Onomatopoeia? I was like, "In Umpapa, ma'amau, what's that called?"
• 6:56
  In Umpapa, ma'amau. I don't know why that came from.
• 7:01
  Honestly, Labubu likey. I think so too.
• 7:04
  But anyway, maybe there's like an onomatopoeia sound that they make like a pattern.
• 7:10
  Anyway, that's what I was thinking. I'm like, I'm assuming that there could be some sort of like
• 7:15
  description of that and various characteristics. We'll look into it more. And you guys let us know.
• 7:21
  If you want to come to us with your own research, if you are obsessed, tell us about it.
• 7:27
  Yeah, I think on your website, you can send like voicemails and stuff.
• 7:30
  Oh my god. If you want to record yourself like making the Labubu.
• 7:34
  The sound? What does a Lububu sound like record it send it to us? We'll have Lububu call.
• 7:40
  Oh my god. Competitions. Like they do with big fun. That'd be great.
• 7:44
  Okay. So what I do when I make fun of things is I kind of like make it into another word.
• 7:51
  So I was like saying Labubu. I was spelling it Labooboo I was saying Labewbew like pawpaw.
• 7:57
  Labubu. I was going to say lolla-balooza, lolla-labuza something like that.
• 8:05
  And then I was like, La Llbabu like La Llorona. Oh, and you fucking were talking about a
• 8:13
  story with a woman weeping like one of the dolls. Yeah. All those doll stories were those from
• 8:19
  Labubus or where it's okay where that's what that's what I was getting. Yeah.
• 8:24
  That's kind of creepy. I kind of want to go back to that story and like see was that a la Llabubu
• 8:30
  like was that a weeping La Llorona - Lububu combination. I mean that's the that's like
• 8:36
  the assumption from from the OP. So yeah there that's creepy. Okay. So I totally wrote that before I even
• 8:46
  heard the episode and I'm like I went back and I wrote oh my god oh my god oh my god I wrote this
• 8:51
  before and I'm editing oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god I'm freaking out
• 8:55
  all caps. So that's kind of what I do. I just was like libubu. Also you mentioned
• 9:05
  they should be in some sort of creepy doll museum and I was like are there creepy doll museums
• 9:12
  are you thinking of like where Annabelle is like the no like we even remember we interviewed and now
• 9:19
  I'm not going to remember the name but we interviewed what is it it's um it's something like
• 9:26
  unsettling toys. I was like okay I kept wanting to say like scary time toys. Okay unsettling
• 9:32
  yeah okay because that's not like a museum that's not like a place you go. But there are like museums
• 9:36
  that have dolls and like haunted artifacts and stuff. Okay. That's kind of what I was I was like
• 9:41
  yeah creepy doll museum does she mean like the haunted like like Edom Lorraine Warren's like
• 9:46
  honid doll where Annabelle lives like probably not anything to do with Ed Lorraine I was like
• 9:53
  definitely what popped into my head was unsettling toys. I was like yeah like they seem equipped for
• 9:59
  any of what we're talking about here. That kind of um we're gonna go off on just a little bit of
• 10:06
  a tangent because it doesn't relate to something I did recently. So I went to see the new conjuring
• 10:11
  oh um love I love the conjuring movies I don't even care like they're great they're great scary
• 10:18
  just scary the classic scary scary movie just scary a lot of jumpscare scary imagery I love ghosty
• 10:24
  love it. So I'm a freak right well yeah I have it's all from unsettling toys and she is a raggedy
• 10:33
  in and raggedy in's if you guys don't know that is the original Annabelle doll was a raggedy
• 10:40
  and doll. Oh so she's just like this big raggedy in she's not actually as scary as the movies uh make
• 10:48
  her look. I was gonna say the Annabelle doll looks more like um like a traditional like kind of a
• 10:55
  porcelain doll. She looks kind of like a ventriloquist doll. Yes yes yes like a cross between like a
• 11:01
  porcelain doll and like a ventriloquist dummy. And she's like human size like she's like
• 11:06
  her size in the movies but in real life she's I think she's one of the bigger raggedy and dolls because
• 11:12
  they have like bigger ones I have a smaller let me explain Annie explain yourself. My Annabelle my Annie
• 11:21
  is the sweetest little girl like she reminds me of your little clown like I think that they would be
• 11:27
  like for like besties. Yes okay that like her energy once I got her she's just like like the cute
• 11:32
  as a smile she has great energy. I did ask why they got rid of her they just because uh unsettling
• 11:41
  toys as a haunted all re-homing service. So if you give them your haunted dolls they'll re-home them.
• 11:47
  Yeah re-home. The person just said it was creepy at night and I was like I feel like
• 11:53
  it. Everything's creepy. Yeah everything's creepy at night. She's got a little you know she's a doll.
• 11:58
  I get no bad vibes from her whatsoever like okay I opened her up I just had great vibes. She hangs
• 12:06
  out in my room she sits like next to my bed she's just I love her. Were you upset that it felt like
• 12:12
  yours like wasn't like haunted. Oh little like creepy. You're like a little okay but I love I just
• 12:21
  felt I felt a connection to her right away because when I was I had wanted an Annabelle doll like I wanted
• 12:27
  to have an Annabelle like creepy raggedy and doll and yeah my mom used to have like the bigger ones
• 12:33
  yeah and she's since gotten rid of them unfortunately but I I really wanted hers and I was like
• 12:38
  ah dang it so I've been searching for one and it had been like a week since I'd been thinking
• 12:42
  about it and I just you know popped on Instagram and saw that they had one and I was like oh
• 12:48
  hello can I have her like she's mine immediately got her like it was just so easy so it worked out
• 12:55
  but I wanted to bring little Annie on a field trip to go see the conjuring
• 13:00
  because I thought that would be hilarious okay and it was I also wore my two girls one goes
• 13:09
  the conjuring tour hoodie because I just like a theme you know yeah no wait it's all about the theme
• 13:16
  it's all about the theme it's all about the theme and we can I'll insert picture of Cassie and Annie
• 13:20
  at the movie theater um she ate a lot of my popcorn not gonna lie
• 13:25
  anyway so I took her to the movies I thought it would be funny honestly I don't think anyone really
• 13:32
  got it because I don't think people actually know they don't make the association
• 13:36
  unless you're like a hardcore paranormal nerd right you don't really know that Annabelle looks like
• 13:42
  regidian so I also though would just be like oh my god this person is doing this like clearly like
• 13:48
  for the edit for the gram because like they're bringing a doll to a creepy doll movie you would
• 13:54
  think but the concessions person was like oh what movie are you seeing and I'm like
• 13:57
  the story this is Annabelle I'm going to see the conjuring but anyway okay yeah this is the
• 14:08
  best part you guys scare boys it's so fun the concessions you know I'm trying to like get my wallet out
• 14:16
  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
• 14:21
  friend I was being like annoying little sister vibes oh great but I was like hey here hold my doll
• 14:28
  he's never inviting me anywhere I forget it's so funny yeah no that's fair it sounds like
• 14:37
  so I made him hold my doll at concessions but like the whole time I was thinking like if I was on a date
• 14:42
  I would do this exact like this would be how you weed out the weirdos on a date right I guess so
• 14:49
  yeah like if you're not into or how they weird they weed you out as the weirdo
• 14:55
  if you don't get this weird please leave like I just need to know immediately so like first date
• 15:00
  I'm gonna do something like that I just know that okay so I just wanted to give that advice
• 15:04
  I'd advice to everybody too okay yeah I'm scared and scaring voices really fun
• 15:08
  what's the monodate with the girl then I might you know you'll be nicer yeah okay it's a different vibe yeah
• 15:17
  but it was a good time bringing an apple she did I don't know okay I don't know if it was her
• 15:23
  me because we were sitting in like the but the but jiggly seats that were all like what
• 15:28
  say vibrate you for like the jump scares when things get loud like you I don't like that I didn't love it
• 15:34
  and I was like kind of startled by it I think but I thought I thought it was Annie so a very scary like
• 15:43
  preview came on and it was very scary and I just got like this I got a vibration but I felt like
• 15:50
  energy she was sitting right here my little arm yeah I just like felt energy from her like she was
• 15:56
  scared and so I wrapped her in a turn around and I like held her to me I was like you don't
• 16:00
  need to watch this preview like it's fine okay once it is over I put her back she was fine for
• 16:08
  the whole movie she really liked the parts where Annabelle lamers she could see herself because
• 16:12
  Annabelle was in the movie she liked those like that okay how did she feel about her namesakes
• 16:20
  behavior throughout the movie she thinks it's funny oh okay thanks really funny she's like because
• 16:26
  that's not her she knows it's like kind of based off of something that looks like her she knows
• 16:31
  it's not actually her yeah she really likes that they changed the look of Annabelle because
• 16:37
  she's like I don't want to be guilty by association okay okay I'm talking so serious
• 16:47
  but I kind of believe I kind of believe it but anyway we had a good time that's a
• 16:51
  gave her popcorn and some little nerd candies oh okay back so back to what what were we talking about
• 16:59
  Labubu's I know how the hell did we get here because like conjuring yeah but I know
• 17:05
  the timing lined up it was like I I was doing the LaBoo Boo thing and talking about spooky stuff
• 17:12
  the doll that's where I got the doll it all yeah and then yeah it was like just timed out well
• 17:17
  it timed out that hurt like her brain yeah I did really love the fact that it like totally was meant
• 17:27
  to be for Chris to do this episode and I was like thinking that I wrote it down and then you'd
• 17:31
  even like set it seriously and then this was like right before he was like oh my god I just saw
• 17:37
  puddles dressed like Labubu and I was like yeah I totally meant to be yeah it was crazy okay so
• 17:44
  this is really funny because then this came up last night because he was seeing all the stuff that
• 17:51
  we post to the socials from our episode and he was like oh I hope people don't come after us for
• 17:56
  calling the duck puddles and I was like oh is that not a thing isn't that his like norm and he was like
• 18:03
  well so technically puddles was like an actual duck that the college had like a hundred years ago
• 18:12
  and he's like so presumably puddles is jade and like the actual like mask got now it's just called
• 18:21
  duck oh and I was like well obviously if it's supposed to look like puddles like it's it like
• 18:29
  like why like we used to have an actual duck and now we have a mask got but like we're changing
• 18:35
  then like no duck is puddles better it's adorable I was like okay well that's dumb I was like nobody
• 18:43
  come for us because we don't give a shit I also get yeah I give two shits about fucking football like
• 18:47
  I couldn't give two shits about football I can know fucks about football zero fucks and zero shits
• 18:52
  I love that Taylor Swift loves it I love that she got you know a bunch of girls in a football who
• 18:58
  they love it I don't love it yet yeah I'm not there but maybe I just need to research more of it
• 19:05
  because apparently once I look something up I just become a fan of it yeah just that's your default
• 19:13
  yeah but I'm not ready to fall in love with football yeah it's just too much of a commitment you know
• 19:16
  yeah I'm not ready anyway so totally worked out I love that he had no idea like yeah
• 19:24
  who even was because I had already had my like preconceived notions obviously so I just like that
• 19:29
  there was a fresh a different view on it that wasn't me and like you just cannot make this stuff
• 19:34
  up because he's like he hadn't heard a single like nothing this was not like somehow this like
• 19:41
  major part of the cultural like zeitgeist he's just like has zero exposure to up to this point
• 19:47
  it didn't make it to his algorithm yet no and he was like so who the fuck is this and I'm like
• 19:54
  which speaking of algorithms every time I go on Instagram now it's
• 20:00
  Labubu I didn't look up anything Labubu on a fucking Instagram now she's all Labubu's all of it dude
• 20:08
  honestly I'm getting like Facebook ads I'm getting you know in Gmail how they have like the
• 20:14
  sponsored like ad shit that shows up in like your inbox and stuff I'm getting Labubu stuff there
• 20:20
  oh boy the internet yeah I say not to track me and they everything oh my two ladies don't track me
• 20:27
  don't track me don't say fucking though yeah anyway it's fine annoying whatever okay so you talked
• 20:33
  about them being demon it was like everything's a fucking demon like I'm more insane
• 20:39
  it's like everything's a demon oh one more thing about the movie just quickly but I appreciate it
• 20:45
  at the very end so we all know well if you're in this culture in this like paranormal world you
• 20:50
  know that they're controversial yeah I did appreciate the end of the movie they said that well
• 20:56
  you know what they did was controversial because they thought everything was a demon they're trying
• 21:00
  to exercise everybody which is problematic yeah they said that they were you know kind of pioneers
• 21:07
  in the field they were talking about it when nobody else was yeah you know they made it kind of more
• 21:14
  mainstream and easy to talk about and so that's kind of what are where the appreciation for them comes in
• 21:22
  yeah yeah and being a fan of like the movies and stuff because the movies show that they portray
• 21:28
  them in a way better light than they actually were I was gonna say I feel like a lot of that like
• 21:32
  the content that's out there about them probably is a little more forgiving than yeah yeah yeah
• 21:40
  but yeah we appreciate that they you know made paranormal things okay to talk about anyway yeah that's
• 21:45
  it okay so you talked about them being a demon which is kind of funny because I didn't really know
• 21:50
  about that because you said you said like spooky stories wasn't really sure yeah I did recently before
• 21:57
  this episode watch the South Park episode on Labubu. I haven't seen it yet and I really want to they
• 22:03
  were telling okay so when I bought when I bought this one when Chris and I went they were talking about
• 22:10
  how South Park had just done an episode on it and we we have been talking about recently we're like
• 22:15
  oh man like South Park is really going after Trump and he's constantly talking about like
• 22:21
  it's hilarious how they it's on Paramount Plus now okay it has to be on like HBO or something
• 22:33
  something different now so I had to wait until I was house sitting at a house with the Paramount
• 22:37
  to watch it so I did watch it it was it was hilarious they did like you know I won't spoil it but
• 22:42
  there was demon stuff and it was yeah it was just great I just feel like I can understand where people
• 22:49
  think like you know like the Labubu's they do have sort of like a it's mischievous like
• 22:56
  surging on me nefarious like the look of that let me see these teeth again I think it's really just like
• 23:03
  the teeth the little do you think he looks mischievous possibly like I said like possibly a little
• 23:12
  n if no not at all no I don't nope stop that but so like the thing that was frustrating to me is like
• 23:24
  there's really like not much like the people that have like their reddit stories and stuff that I
• 23:30
  that I read I was like okay whatever that's like your own like personal experience right
• 23:35
  but the people that are drawing like these parallels to them being like demonic or satanic or whatever
• 23:43
  like based on what because they're saying it looks like Pazuzu which also it fucking doesn't
• 23:51
  I mean I like to look that up but I was like what is wrong with Pazuzu I don't need like what's
• 23:56
  actually wrong with you fucking made up okay that's because you didn't mention that that's why I
• 24:01
  think I didn't actually go look at aren't you people fucking delusional yes yeah I mean they
• 24:07
  attacked like Harry Potter you know which you know which craft which they are witches and wizards okay
• 24:13
  but like whatever if they were fighting the people fucking awesome though I know okay so
• 24:19
  for my sanity though I need you to like just look up Pazuzu yes I need you to look up Pazuzu and
• 24:27
  Pazuki no oh he's got a Wang bra
• 24:33
  hell yeah look at that snake Wang oh my god this photo though I can kind of see
• 24:45
  zoom in on this I can see the teeth okay the teeth crime is that it has fucking teeth it might
• 24:53
  have nine-triple teeth I go to type in Pazuzu because I want to do my own Google image search
• 24:59
  and guess what it says like all I started doing was typing in Pazuzu and it's a little boo boo no
• 25:05
  Google starts like it gives you like the suggestions dash fictional character yeah but Jesus Christ
• 25:13
  people get a fucking grip but yeah it really doesn't I mean like Cussie in the movie what it looks like
• 25:23
  looks like a because it is modeled after like a Mesopotamian god right so but like in the exorcist
• 25:34
  that looks evil like it doesn't have cute big eyes like a little baby bunny I think it's just the sharp
• 25:42
  teeth like the teeth aren't even like sharp in the same way though look those are just ugly
• 25:48
  jacket they're not they're not and I was looking at like a statue where the teeth did look jagged but
• 25:54
  they were you by like the bottom teeth too so yeah like it doesn't even make sense please someone
• 26:01
  explained to me how Pazuzu looks anything like libubo the big eyes but his eyes aren't big they're
• 26:08
  just like someone no the little boo boo eyes are like oblong like an oval yeah I don't know it's crazy
• 26:16
  it was crazy to me but then of course my brain goes like what's the wrong with Pazuzu what are you
• 26:21
  here for two besides be a fictional fucking character that's why I didn't research it so I was like oh
• 26:27
  it's not even real no it's like literally the dumbest thing ever so moving on this this is like
• 26:33
  right after the text chain about the libubo's and I was like whatever you guys do your thing I hung
• 26:38
  out with my cousin and she had like a little uh it was like a cat on her bag and I I didn't really
• 26:45
  I didn't know what libubo's look like at that point yet I had no that's right yeah yeah I didn't
• 26:49
  even google it because I was like I don't even care I don't know I just don't care and I asked her
• 26:53
  I was like is that a libubo and she was like no it's a jelly cat which I is that another popmart like
• 27:02
  it might be I know I've heard of something similar okay and I did have to like re-ask her recently
• 27:08
  I was like hey what was that thing on your body remember when I asked you about libubo and you're like
• 27:12
  about like a jam beeline oh what was that jam beeline on your back she's like it's a jelly cat
• 27:19
  uh so that was interesting so he kind of was like I was figuring out different little things
• 27:26
  along the way but then she so she showed me a picture of what the boobies are and I was like
• 27:30
  when I saw the teeth I was like do I hate these things because I like creepy shoes so yeah
• 27:37
  why wouldn't I like it really torn weren't you I was very torn and then you guys were like
• 27:42
  bringing up furbie and I loved my furbie even though it was creepy I got a creepy
• 27:47
  stuff I had a really complicated relationship with my furbie I heard yeah
• 27:52
  I heard yeah I loved my furbie it it it often talked I think it you know at random time
• 28:00
  but I just wasn't freaked out by it no no literally though like you're supposed to be able to like
• 28:07
  put them to sleep because like people don't want them waking up their kids and stuff right my
• 28:13
  furbie didn't have a sleep it don't want one not mine to either it didn't get it no it would go
• 28:18
  it's dark or something like that I don't like that I feel like I remember that being one of the
• 28:25
  things that I would cover yeah it'd be like it's dark I did like when it would want to go to sleep though it
• 28:33
  would go yeah the little snoring noise is really cute I feel like that was very endearing yeah
• 28:40
  anyway I like my furbie that was my comment on that at one point when you we're talking about the
• 28:47
  knockoff with boobies and you're like there's something just not quite right about them
• 28:52
  like that's how people describe the not deers so these are like not libyoo yeah and I can't
• 28:58
  remember if I said this in the episode or not but I think I remember saying to Chris it's kind of
• 29:03
  like Congress trying to explain porn like you know it when you see it it is true though because I
• 29:10
  did we just talked about how I chased down a little girl at the store the other day and yelled at her
• 29:14
  is that a Labubu and she was like it's a Labubu yeah she did say yeah it was a knockoff but then
• 29:22
  looking at the pictures and then feeling like holding your real boobies I was like oh yeah you can tell
• 29:27
  there was like weird indentations on the feet it had like a really long weird tag yeah one of the
• 29:33
  teeth wasn't one of the toothies wasn't colored they were just there were nine teeth though
• 29:38
  but they were all white I thought is it is it it's nine for the legit and ten for the knockoff
• 29:47
  usually okay but this might have just been like a such a hardcore knockoff yeah yeah the nine teeth
• 29:56
  I was gonna say I don't know that it's I don't know that it's like in a lafufu it was like a knockoff
• 30:02
  lafufu oh yeah yeah knockoff of a knockoff I mean the other thing is all they have to do is make
• 30:07
  enough things just slightly different so that it's not considered trademark infringement I feel like
• 30:13
  the colored the one colored tooth is like a big thing yeah I mean they have so many different designs
• 30:19
  and stuff I think Chris and I were looking at the one I think it's the secret one from this has
• 30:25
  big energy yes I want that one I know who doesn't it's black with black and gray with like rainbow
• 30:32
  teeth like that's my lafufu when I saw him I was like okay I'm in yeah let's go I knew it let's go
• 30:39
  do it honestly we were standing there in the line and Chris is like they actually have a lot of them
• 30:45
  are they really that hard to find and he was like is this super expensive like and he started looking
• 30:51
  at Facebook marketplace and I was like bitch I already listened to a whole show where they were
• 30:57
  talking about they went to like all of the places where you can get them right so they got one
• 31:03
  through I think the popmart app which is like that's like unless you get it from like a popmart like
• 31:09
  whether it's a robo shop the app or you go to the like actual like retail store like brick and mortar
• 31:16
  though that's like the only ways that you can really be sure that you're getting a legit one
• 31:21
  because they bought one like I think they bought theirs through the app they bought one through ebay
• 31:26
  and they bought one through Facebook marketplace and guess how many of those three libuubus
• 31:30
  were lafufu's two two two one of three oh man yeah and crystals like oh look at this he was like
• 31:37
  oh yeah no I feel like you way overpaid blah blah blah blah blah he was like also you can get them at
• 31:43
  the popmart for like this much and I was like oh can you really why don't you go ahead and drive
• 31:49
  down towards the clack of miss ball and you just tell me how much luck you have just wall sing in and
• 31:55
  buying a libuubu off the shelf yeah they're sold out yeah they're like literally sold out like
• 32:00
  sometimes you can get lucky through the app I did see at one point before I was ready to like
• 32:06
  actually get one I was like oh look it like there there were some that was available through the app
• 32:14
  like you can get ones that are like you can't like you won't be able to find them somewhere
• 32:19
  like you're not going to be able to walk into the store and get one but you might be able to get
• 32:23
  it through the app if you're lucky gotta get that out gotta get the app it I think we should go to
• 32:29
  your super secret spot and get me a libuubu today we were talking about it we might if we have time
• 32:34
  yeah okay we'll make time who cares about our regular episode we can do that later yeah we can record
• 32:40
  or mo whatever um I think that was kind of like it I did I thought your tarot card was
• 32:49
  totally perfect for it um because it was talking about like creating something that you love being
• 32:56
  profitable yeah was just libuubu right there I know honestly I was like oh profitable so you're
• 33:03
  saying I should just like I don't know like is there a libuubu ETF or something like oh and I was
• 33:09
  very like impressed that you didn't pull the double card because that to me just proves like they're
• 33:13
  not demonic they're you pulled like ace of cups that's like a good card I feel like it yeah that's
• 33:19
  like ace of one such like pure energy yeah I think it was ace of cups I think it was cups
• 33:23
  ace of yeah ace of cups say I just proved that they were yeah loyalty well and you know how I feel
• 33:32
  about the ace of cups specifically from that deck because it has that blue hydrangea and I saw
• 33:38
  I saw uh somebody commented on the tick talk that we made with the tarot card and they were like
• 33:46
  that flower looks like a brain and I was like oh my god oh bruh I cannot tell you how much I was like
• 33:53
  oh my god you're so right oh nobody has ever said this thing it's like this like spicy little
• 33:59
  thought in my you know spicy brain where you're my dream yeah it's a hydrangea hydrangea yeah but that
• 34:05
  was like one of my grandma's like that's like one of her favorite flowers and she had like that
• 34:11
  like specific like kind of hue of that like really pretty like blue yeah she had in her yard
• 34:18
  multiple yards in houses that they lived in over the years and so like I like that card I'm sorry I'm
• 34:24
  like nope it like literally that like it has grandma's sign off if that card comes up like she's like
• 34:29
  listen live your life yeah I saw the uh I saw the picture of the card you pulled and I was like
• 34:35
  I'll she pulled her grandma's card again of course she did yeah yeah obviously I kind of like spoiled it
• 34:42
  in the beginning I'm a fan of LaBouboo now um I really like to like things yeah if I can just
• 34:49
  I know that I have like this kind of hipster mentality sometimes where if it's something really popular
• 34:53
  I'm like it I feel like it's it's like very crap of you it is yeah but I know that about myself so
• 34:59
  that's why I like to research things and like figure things out yeah because I know that once I just

• 38:53
  Okay, so there's stuff down on the bottom.
• 38:57
  - Do I look at it first or not?
• 38:59
  - Actually, you should open it first.

  - Okay.
• 39:01
  - I'm glad you didn't see the thing inside of it first.
• 39:04

  - Oh.
• 39:28
  - Which honestly, okay, I like to live my life in confidence
• 39:32

• 39:35
  - It's like, the universe gives me what I need.
• 39:37
  - Yeah.
• 39:38
  - So I had a feeling I might get this.
• 39:42
  - So looking, you can look at the side,
• 39:44
  but if you look down in there.
• 39:45
  - Oh, I just have,
• 39:46
  I'll show you what you get.
• 39:47
  - Yeah.
• 39:48
  It is luck.
• 39:51
  - So cute.
• 39:53
  - And I'm lucky.
• 39:54
  - No, this is the perfect one.
• 39:57
  So we were talking about how like,
• 39:59
  if I didn't get the secret one,
• 40:01
  this is the one I wanted.
• 40:03
  - Yeah.
• 40:04
  - How to feeling it was this one anyway?
• 40:06
  Like, I don't know why, 'cause luck.
• 40:08
  - It's tough, man.
• 40:10
  - It's tough.
• 40:10
  - It just seemed right.
• 40:11
  - Yeah.
• 40:12
  - Like luck seemed fitting for my first l'bubu.
• 40:14
  I don't know.
• 40:15
  - I like that on these ones too.
• 40:17
  They're like little hang tags are color matched.
• 40:20
  - Oh, yes.
• 40:21
  - Yeah.
• 40:22
  - I love that.
• 40:23
  - I love that.
• 40:24
  Purple is sparkly.
• 40:27
  - I feel like it's ideal of purple.
• 40:29
  - Oh, it's toes are painted.
• 40:32
  - Oh yeah, did you not notice that?
• 40:33
  - 'Cause yours are yellow toes.
• 40:35
  - Yeah, they kind of blend in with the color.
• 40:37
  I didn't really notice, but these purple toes
• 40:39
  really stand out.
• 40:40
  - And they'll purple toe.
• 40:42
  - Let's hold up both of our l'bubu.
• 40:44
  - Luck and loyalty for Cassie and Caitlin.
• 40:51
  - I feel like that's so on brand.
• 40:53
  - I like that.
• 40:55
  - Yeah.
• 40:56
  - Okay.
• 40:59
  I feel like I'm just gonna,
• 41:01
  I wish my shelf was bigger.
• 41:02
  I've been thinking about changing my shelf.
• 41:06
  - Yeah.
• 41:06
  - Should your white shine.
• 41:07
  - Hang it from the chandelier.
• 41:09
  (laughs)
• 41:10
  - Oh my God.
• 41:11
  Well, that one shake in the Reddit story,
• 41:13
  she hung it from the lampshade.
• 41:15
  - Oh.
• 41:16
  - Yeah.
• 41:17
  So, I mean, I think I talked about this in the episode.
• 41:21
  I kind of touched on it.
• 41:22
  I did find a bunch of stuff.
• 41:24
  Like there was an Instagram video that I found
• 41:27
  where they were showing you like a trick
• 41:30
  where you like kind of twist the little like hang tie thing
• 41:33
  and you make it so it shortens up the thing
• 41:36
  because what people have been doing kind of like the pick pockets
• 41:40
  in like, you know, like touristy places,
• 41:43
  they'll go and they'll just sniff it.
• 41:45
  And so people have been doing that with l'bubu's
• 41:48
  because. - Oh my God.
• 41:50
  - Yeah.
• 41:50
  So they were shortening up their little tag thing
• 41:53
  and I forget how she did it exactly,
• 41:56
  but it like there's an actual video of her.
• 41:59
  She shows you like it's like it's not complicated.
• 42:02
  I just I just don't remember.
• 42:04
  - So now there's targets on our backs.
• 42:05
  I was thinking of, I was like, I want,
• 42:07
  'cause I, well, I wouldn't because I already have something
• 42:09
  there from my mirror, but I would be cute to hang from your mirror,
• 42:13
  but well, it's like at your house.
• 42:14
  - Break in your car or in your car.
• 42:17
  - Oh yeah.
• 42:18
  Yeah.
• 42:19
  No, I know.
• 42:21
  People hang them on their purses too.
• 42:23
  Like they have a key ring or they, you know, so yeah.
• 42:26
  Like the theft of them like on that more like interpersonal level
• 42:31
  is like can be pretty prevalent.
• 42:34
  - I'm scared.
• 42:35
  - Yeah.
• 42:35
  - I know.
• 42:36
  - I know.
• 42:37
  - I know.
• 42:38
  - I know.
• 42:39
  - I know.
• 42:40
  - Like the little kids that, like the girl that I stopped the other day,
• 42:41
  that can easily have been someone trying to just steal her l'bubu.
• 42:42
  - Yeah.
• 42:43
  - Not knowing it was a l'bubu, a not l'bubu.
• 42:47
  - I mean, even the Labubu's are, I think, you know,
• 42:50
  yeah, I think they can be a target too.
• 42:52
  - Oh my God.
• 42:53
  - Like be careful of everybody.
• 42:54
  - Even the l'bubu's can be expensive because they have kind of their own separate cult following.
• 43:01
  I mean, that was kind of part of the episode too.
• 43:03
  - Yeah, I guess you did talk about like the theft.
• 43:05
  - Yeah.
• 43:06
  - There was like a true crime element.
• 43:08
  - Yeah.
• 43:09
  But I mean, it's not even just that, but it's also that like, so it's kind of like a,
• 43:14
  it's like a division, right?
• 43:15
  It's almost like crappy versus like the jocks or like, you know, versus the theater kids
• 43:21
  or like whatever two groups.
• 43:23
  You want to say like opposing, you know?
• 43:25
  So there's like the ones that like, they really like value and they want like a legit l'bubu.
• 43:31
  And then there are people that have been able to find Lafufu's other places and they
• 43:35
  almost like, they like cherish how they're like kind of imperfect.
• 43:40
  - Right.
• 43:41
  Yeah.
• 43:42
  - And I'm like, oh, I totally get, I totally like see the appeal in like kind of filled
• 43:46
  ways.
• 43:47
  You know what I mean?
• 43:48
  - I get that.
• 43:49
  - Yeah.
• 43:50
  - I mean, if you can't afford it, like, I mean, the Lafufu's too, they've like, that's what
• 43:54
  I was saying is like now like--
• 43:56
  - They've gone up.
• 43:57
  - Yeah.
• 43:58
  - I mean, to get a decent like Lafufu, now it's like, that's a thing too, where it's like
• 44:03
  now even the fake ones are like, you can find them where they're just as much and sometimes
• 44:08
  even more because--
• 44:09
  - Because then you've got to get fakes of fakes because the little girl is telling me that
• 44:12
  her's was only 20 bucks.
• 44:13
  - Yeah.
• 44:14
  - Yeah.
• 44:15
  - Unfortunately, remember where she said she got it.
• 44:21
  So, yeah, Facebook Marketplace has a ton of them and obviously I think, you know, we
• 44:25
  can talk about, you know, there's a lot of places where you can, in theory, get some version
• 44:32
  of a Lafufu.
• 44:33
  - Lafufu.
• 44:34
  - Yeah.
• 44:35
  So, I mean, whichever one it is, you know, but yeah, I don't know.
• 44:41
  - That's like, that is one of the things that I was not liking about, I don't like having
• 44:46
  to spend, you know, a ton of money on things that are cool and then like, having people make
• 44:50
  fun of you for having a knockoff or whatever.
• 44:52
  - Yeah.
• 44:53
  - Like, can we just all agree that all of it's cool and whatever you choose to wear or do
• 44:57
  or do your money is cool?
• 44:59
  - I do like that there's an element of the fandom that's like, hey, we don't want to spend
• 45:04
  like crazy money or whatever.
• 45:06
  - But we're still fans.
• 45:07
  - Yeah.
• 45:08
  - We're still fans.
• 45:09
  - We're still fans like that for like the Lafufu side of things.
• 45:13
  - Yeah.
• 45:14
  - Yeah.
• 45:15
  - Yeah.
• 45:16
  - But, you know, I'm fortunate enough to have a little extra cash, which I honestly could
• 45:20
  have spent on bills.
• 45:21
  But we all know how cash he deals about money.
• 45:24
  And I would rather have a little Labubu then throw my money back for paying my credit card.
• 45:32
  So, whatever who cares.
• 45:33
  - Can't take it with you.
• 45:35
  - I can't take it with me and I work really hard this summer, okay?
• 45:38
  - Which is, you know, we took a break from the pod, but we did not take a break from other
• 45:42
  work.
• 45:43
  - Yeah.
• 45:44
  - From anything else.
• 45:45
  - From whatever or so.
• 45:46
  - I heard this Lafufu.
• 45:50
  - Flood sweat and tears.
• 45:54
  - Literally.
• 45:55
  - Yeah, a little bit.
• 45:56
  - So photoshooting of wedding.
• 45:59
  Flood sweat and tears.
• 46:00
  Like literally all of those things.
• 46:02
  - Yeah.
• 46:03
  - And more.
• 46:04
  - Yeah.
• 46:05
  - Let's go.
• 46:06
  - Okay.
• 46:07
  - Good to hear our actual episode.
• 46:08
  - All right.
• 46:08
  - Mm-hmm.
