Stay!

Speaker 1 (00:17)
Thank you. See how hard that was to pull Happy Father's Day out of my daughter's mouths. Thank you girls for finally saying Happy Father's Day. Was it a good Father's Day for you as it was for me? What do we do today for Father's Day?

Speaker 2 (00:32)
Yeah. Yeah.

Had breakfast?

Speaker 1 (00:37)
No, just we just had breakfast, right? Where do we go?

Speaker 2 (00:38)
Yeah, we went to go have breakfast.

I have no clue. To like this cafe. Saddle River Cafe. Really good food.

Speaker 1 (00:46)
Mm-hmm. And what did everybody have?

Speaker 2 (00:48)
I had scrambled eggs with fries and a pancake. I had pancakes and a latte. I had the Saddle River Special. What did you have?

Speaker 1 (01:01)
Very nice.

I had a latte saddle river special which was eggs and Toast and bacon. Yeah, it was very good. Thank you very much for taking me and thank you very much for my gifts that I got I got a foot massage. got a music box I got a t-shirt and I got socks. I Asked for peace and quiet and I did not get any of that. Thank you very much

Speaker 2 (01:26)
You're welcome. Well, it's hard when you have four kids.

Speaker 1 (01:28)
I know it's very hard when I have four kids. All right, let's get into our topics of this week. And, you know, it's really hard to search for topics I found because there's not a lot going on anymore with entertainment. I don't know what it is with Hollywood these days. But when I was. Maybe like couple of years ago, there was so much entertainment news, like I don't understand how these entertainment.

news outlets are surviving there's like nothing good and maybe it's because most people are watching influencers that and maybe there's no more like really teen a stars i don't know maybe it's my age what do you guys think

Speaker 2 (02:12)
There are a lot of like Hollywood teen stars. They're just like they don't post a lot. They're not on social media that much. No, it's not that it's that they're up and like they're up coming but They're not like in a lot of shows There's one girl. I don't know her name, but she's ⁓ friends, she's friends with walker scobel. She has over 40 something movies that she was in and she's only 16

Speaker 1 (02:40)
And who's that?

Speaker 2 (02:42)
Good question, she's dating Mason Thames. McKenna Grace. Her. yeah, no, she's one of the people that like, she's not in a lot of movies now, but she was as a child actor and she's getting recognition for it now. It's like a lot of the people now, like Ariana Greenblatt, ⁓ the guy who just played How to Turn Your Dragon. Mason Thames. Yeah, cause I just watched that in 3D. Then there's like Walker Scobel, Brady Noon.

Connor's not really acting. They're both do volleyball. But they're very dormant right now. Like no one's in movies right now. It's called filming. No like no one's in movies right now. There's nothing coming out in the talks or anything like Mission Impossible came out Tom Cruise another movie. He's in a bunch of movies.

Speaker 1 (03:30)
Right,

but Tom Cruise was a star is a star. He's not an upcoming star. He's an a-list star He doesn't really do anything. He shoots the movies then he goes on press Yeah, but as far as like I'm talking about like news or gossip or stuff like that like there's there's like maybe Justin Bieber I see like he's like in the news now, but I don't really see Up and coming or you know this like

Back in the day, there was like a teen beat, like where there would be like a magazine called Teen Beat and there'd be like a cover. There would be people on the cover and they'd be like, oh, the, you know, the teenies like your guys' age would be like, oh, this guy is, you know, hot and we want to, you know, we, collect his pictures on our wall and stuff like that. There's nobody really out there and, gossip and these magazines don't really cover these kids anymore or teens anymore. There's nothing really going on. I also don't see like.

A-list teens or up-and-coming teens. I don't know maybe it's because There's not so many so many like stagnant Movie stars that are teens and it's just like one after another after another they're like there's they're not really making somebody Popular at this point, but I don't see anything going on with anyone even

Speaker 2 (04:44)
No, I think it is that they're not making like they're not focusing their resources on one person to make like them like the it girl

Speaker 1 (04:52)
Like Timothy Chamolais, he in it person.

Speaker 2 (04:55)
No, no, he's just famous but he's not it like he's been in a lot of good movies, but no, I don't think He has a huge fan base like Not a lot of young people have huge fan bases But I mean like some of them just have like a decent amount like malakai Yeah, he's a popular one He's he's ⁓

Speaker 1 (05:18)
Who's Malachi?

Speaker 2 (05:21)
I don't know his last name, can't- I don't know, I know it starts with like a B. He was in Stuck in the Middle with Ariana Greenblatt and Jenna Ortega who are all like- like they're famous right now. They like- And he's in the New Descendants- not Descendants, Zombies movie. ⁓ But they're like not- like they should be focusing their resources on like getting one or two or three It people and like making them

stars of their production, but they move on really quickly.

Speaker 1 (05:59)
I feel like maybe there's something different. Maybe this generation is more focused on influencers and YouTube stars rather than You know box office celebrities or TV celebrities. I feel like even if you look at how much money is being made for from influencers and YouTube stars and these other platforms

More so than what a timothy chamolais or any of these actors or actresses are making You know what's so an actor films a movie for what? A couple months and then it takes a year to process, know and do the editing and then do You know promotion Go on all the late late night talk shows, right? Is that how it still works like that, right?

Speaker 2 (06:54)
I guess I think it's just easier for people to become successful through it tick-tock like influencing because it's a shorter amount of time and It's all through like the algorithm. It's kind like if you get lucky, which is I guess it's kind of acting but Also, it takes a while for you to be successful in acting like your first like a background person

and you have a couple of background like stuff or like even a stunt person and then you start crawling up the ladder to be like a lead. It like takes a while. It's not instantaneous like influencing is. So and also people are more on TikTok now like because TikTok like you can take it everywhere with you. on your phone. Netflix like most of my friends don't have time to watch shows because of like they're always on the move. Like they have like

training or they're going to the gym or they have homework. Well, I guess that not now because it ended, but like even like camp, like school stuff. Also, like college essays and stuff. Like it's easier to just not watch a show.

Speaker 1 (08:02)
So would you say that this generation has a low attention span where that they have to watch content that is quick?

Speaker 2 (08:14)
I think so. Yeah, I get I'm watching a show right now and I use it as background noise for TikTok. Like I'll be on both at the same time because I can't focus on one thing at a time.

Speaker 1 (08:30)
So it's kind of like a second screen, except that has nothing to do with the show.

Speaker 2 (08:35)
Yeah, but I do like the show is good. I pay attention shows it manifest

Speaker 1 (08:40)
Okay, Manifesto, that's the one with the airplane? Okay. It's not a new show.

Speaker 2 (08:43)
Yeah.

No, it's because older shows are better.

Speaker 1 (08:48)
Right, that's the other thing now that I've realized is a lot of this content that's coming out now, like on Netflix or TV. It's not good. I don't know what happened to Hollywood or why they keep picking up these crappy movies or crappy TV shows. One sometimes slips by.

Speaker 2 (08:58)
It just isn't that good.

Speaker 1 (09:12)
But then it's short lived. And I don't know if that's a financial reason because people are talking about it and then it just disappears.

Speaker 2 (09:20)
like for example Greenhouse Academies was really good but that's not like NuNu that's in like the last 20 years new ⁓ Julian the Phantoms was good got cancelled ⁓ all the good shows got cancelled yeah but now like there are every

Speaker 1 (09:35)
But after how many episodes or how many seasons?

Speaker 2 (09:38)
Depends it was like one one to two seasons and gets canceled. Yeah But there's a big fan base for it like everyone wants Julian the phantoms But I think it's I think that one was more about like the ownership of it But greenhouse academies that one got canceled after a couple seasons. It was good though. I liked it Winks the fate saga got canceled. yeah that one too. I love that one. That one was really good To one

Speaker 1 (10:02)
After how many how many seasons?

Okay, have a theory So I feel like now because there's so many different so before when I was younger and I was growing up we only had You know TV so NBC ABC CBS, right? Those three Down the road you had WB and then you had HBO Showtime

Speaker 2 (10:08)
What?

Speaker 1 (10:31)
cinemax you had that was all you had so a lot of the good tv shows down the road were on hbo you had sopranos entourage the one with ⁓ what's it called with the girl with sarah jessica parker

Speaker 2 (10:49)
I don't know that one.

Speaker 1 (10:52)
Sex in the City Then on NBC you had Friends, Seinfeld, on CBS you had The Show at Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men Big Bang Theory, you had shows like this, had on ABC you had Grey's Anatomy These shows and they were going on for many seasons, but those shows ended up costing a lot of money

Speaker 2 (10:53)
Sex and the City. I watched that one.

Speaker 1 (11:20)
They had to pay the actors. You know, to keep going full house. even, I mean, we're talking, you're talking like you could go on and on about shows in the nineties and the eighties that were just going on for season and season. And what happened was these production companies would have to pay a lot of money to keep producing them and not only producing them because some of them didn't cost that much money to actually produce per se, because a lot of them were in studio or the studios were built out. ⁓

but the actors were taking big paychecks after a certain amount of seasons.

Speaker 2 (11:54)
I it's as they gain recognition they want more money.

Speaker 1 (11:56)
They want more money, which the studio and the TV station back then or the network would make less. So I feel like now in these days where it comes to your generation, where you are watching shorter time span, you're not watching live. I feel like maybe there's less money to be made. And that's why they're cutting or not wanting to make stars because they don't want to pay these actors as much money as they did in the past. ⁓

They want to make more money and because it's tougher to make more money also on Netflix, even though they're making money, there's no commercials. So really, I mean, now they have commercials, they put them out, but I don't know how much, if they're making money on the commercials as per like a regular network, they make money more subscription based. So it's really a question is, is this a financial decision where you get to four or five seasons on a popular television show and you want to cut it because

You don't want to pay the actors anymore and maybe do like a spin-off and start again like, know, Yellowstone had a spin-off or a show that you're watching has a spin-off. Also reality TV now is big because they don't pay these reality TV shows. We keep talking about love Island every week. There's love Island. There's, ⁓ love is blind. There's temptation Island.

Speaker 2 (13:20)
Lone

on the Spectrum

Speaker 1 (13:24)
love on the sale all these dating shows love love love what about what's the show i brought up earlier the no not beyond the bill the one that natalie's doing from survivors survivors or show that you know what the what the in in ⁓ cracks no the one i said on that that natalie's doing what's it called

Speaker 2 (13:30)
On the Villa?

Speaker 3 (13:46)
Hmm

Speaker 2 (13:48)
It was something based off Survivor. I said like 50th season.

Speaker 1 (13:51)
No,

it's not Natal. It's not survivor. It's a

the informants now not the informants

Speaker 3 (14:00)
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (14:01)
and my service sucks.

Speaker 3 (14:04)
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (14:06)
That's very true.

Speaker 1 (14:08)
It's called The Traders. So the Traders. there's a lot of reality shows which are cheap, cheap to make. You're not paying the actors. Maybe they get a prize. What's at $100,000 tops.

Speaker 2 (14:21)
But yeah, it usually is a prize. Like, Survivor is a prize, Love Island is a prize.

Speaker 1 (14:26)
right so you get a price on survivor they win a million dollars that's nothing they're not paying any actors so they're competing a million dollars nothing making a lot of them that's on a network shows they're making advertising and marketing dollars on love is blind how much is it i love a blind ⁓ so i love island

Speaker 2 (14:44)
Usually I was a hundred thousand a hundred thousand and oh like a full expense paid trip somewhere. I'll show for um What's the other one? love Too hot to handle they have they as the budget increases the prize money increases But so the last seasons or season six was a hundred thousand

also but they keep it kept going down they put it at 100 000 but then they like make deductions for it for like so they know they're not actually paying 100 000

Speaker 1 (15:18)
Right. So makes it's better for them, for the contestants to screw up, for them to get less money. So, that's another thing is look at the shows that we're talking about. Like it's, they're not like mind provoking shows. They don't make you think it actually makes your brain fried. ⁓ speaking of brain fried, our next topic is tick tock. I mean, talk about brain frying. So I guess now you're, saying there's a,

Speaker 2 (15:32)
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:47)
TikTok Trends of the Week?

Speaker 2 (15:50)
Yeah, there's like ⁓ this week ⁓ what did I say it was AI like ice ⁓ right. Okay, ASMR AI ice glass cutting fruit so the AI people generate faceless AI videos To like get views and make money so they basically just pick a topic or like something that they think will blow up and they start posting it and However many views likes they get money

And the trend of this week is like AI videos. So there's AI videos of just like funny stuff. Like I showed Masha in the car this morning. There's a grandma that's cooking cookies and then she just makes rude comments to like whoever's coming up behind her. Like I think there was like, ⁓ those cookies look stale. And then the other one was like, but you know,

You're gonna eat them anyway, aren't you? And it was like a person in the back. No, she was like, stay like your ankles. I hear them cracking. yeah, that one too. So like it's AI videos. And then also like the ASMR glass cutting ones that are just like very like soothing. You just hear the chop chop chop. Well, I haven't seen those videos yet. For me, it's more line dancing. What's line? What's that? A TikTok? Are you on?

I'm on countryside of TikTok. well, like the ASMR videos are really like, they're really soothing. And I'm pretty sure that a lot of people like fall asleep to them because also there's also creators that do ASMR videos to help people sleep. They just like talk really softly and like put their hands on the microphone and like, or tickle it with like a feather or something.

I don't know. That's like also a side of TikTok. And also, because if you're on ASMR videos and you're trying to go to sleep, they also make a lot of money because every time you watch the video, like, doesn't it get money?

Speaker 1 (17:50)
So the way it works with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, all the even X or Twitter, whatever you want to call it is the longer you watch, the more views you have, the more money you make. So you need. So it's really weird because we're talking about how your generation only takes in a certain amount of time. But I guess those videos, like if you get past 30 seconds a minute, if you keep watching, it's a, you know, the rate you get paid higher. So not only do you get, you get paid on

how many views, how many clicks you get, but also how far you're watching. That's very important for advertisers and for sponsors and for marketing.

Speaker 2 (18:31)
Yeah, so ASMR is a good way to get views because it's like addicting.

Speaker 1 (18:36)
Have you heard of this? Tick tock. don't I don't know what it is. I've somebody brought it up to me. I think yesterday the Italian brain rot. What's what's an Italian brain rot?

Speaker 2 (18:46)
Yeah, Masha does all about that.

even

know me and Reese she brought it up at practice and I was like yeah I know that too and then our whole team kind of just started saying it because there's like different it's like different machinery with an animal it's like bombadillo crocodilo and it's like a military plane with a crocodile face and I was like ⁓

Speaker 1 (19:14)
What

does it do? What do you do? What does it do? Like what's the point of?

Speaker 2 (19:17)
It's ⁓

tra la la la tra la la la and there's cappuccino as a scene that's what she just said no and then there's a kid at our high school who did a segment on it for the TV and my teacher turned it off yeah what is this it's just something that keeps teens busy at this point

Speaker 1 (20:04)
So this is like, this is like, again, what we discussed, the content that TikTok, the 30 second, the TV shows that are coming out, everything is literally not Italian brain rot, but brain rotting your brain. Like all this stuff that's coming out is making you guys stupid.

Speaker 2 (20:22)
Yeah, no, but the words like what it like the storyline behind the characters is like italian They could honestly they could probably make a show based off of these characters Because i've watched there's like there's tiktok. ⁓ shows like segments They make a whole storyline of stuff and they're I remember watching one and it was like ballerina capuchina is married to tung tung tung sahur and then he gets arrested and then ⁓ she marries

⁓ the mafia guy i watched the mafia guy one where there was like a death and then the two mafia guys team up i forgot which ones they were i'm not like i don't i'm not on that side of tiktok but like they were two guys teamed up and they figured out who it was and then they like crushed him or something

Speaker 1 (21:12)
And this is all being made. This is all being made on AI.

Speaker 2 (21:17)
Yeah,

it's um Adobe AI you have to pay for it because I looked it up yesterday Adobe

Speaker 1 (21:23)
AI or is it the Google one? Via.

Speaker 2 (21:26)
I didn't look at that one, but I saw the Adobe one and they you have to pay like it's premium to get what you like describe the video you describe. So you're if if you're using that when you're paying for that to try to get views, but also if it's AI usually blows up in

Speaker 1 (21:48)
So,

but so the maybe you don't know this, the Adobe one, how much does that cost to use?

Speaker 2 (21:55)
I don't know. I know if you use PIXELERKZ that's what a lot of people I know use. It's free. And they give you like 900 something options to choose from. Something. No. I use it for lot of people who just use it for school and for like businesses to make like a logo or a-

Speaker 1 (22:05)
You make videos on that?

Speaker 4 (22:12)
that

Speaker 1 (22:12)
for logos but I'm

talking about video.

Speaker 2 (22:16)
Yeah, you can use chatgbt for AI generated photos, but you can't for videos. I tried that.

Speaker 1 (22:21)
No, so Google has one that's doing it for videos, but the limit is it's only eight seconds. So what people are doing is they're making like a bunch of eight second ones and then they're editing them together. It is not free. It costs money. Well, it depends. There's a lower version that costs, I think, maybe 20 or 30 or 40 dollars. And there's another one that's like a couple hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (22:34)
Is it free?

How much?

Speaker 1 (22:47)
And think the couple hundred dollar one, maybe you get more time. Maybe it's not eight seconds. Maybe it's more, but you're talking about like hundreds and hundreds of dollars to a month, is thousands of dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (23:02)
And then like, it worth it chance of you blowing up and making money, which you don't make a lot of money on tick tock unless you are an influencer because realistically the on the ones that I see on tick tock, they only have a couple of like a couple of tens of thousands of views, which I'm pretty sure.

each view is only a couple cents you're not making a lot of money yeah 10 seconds you're making five cents yeah exactly and also i think it's the there's there was a new thing like a couple years or maybe it was this year that it has to be over a minute for you to make like a decent amount of money well that's

Speaker 1 (23:40)
That's what I brought up before is it goes with views and it goes on time So the longer that it goes the more money you make the more views also. So everything goes hand-in-hand the question is are people paying the couple hundred dollars a month for this new Google AI video or they paying the small amount getting into it and then

Paying more if they're making money. I don't know that's something we need to maybe look into maybe I don't know Maybe it's maybe we could make some AI videos and make some money girls. What do you speaking of ⁓ Making money and trends and again rotting the brain our next topic is Sydney Sweeney

Speaker 2 (24:17)
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:34)
Do know who Sydney Sweeney is? Yes. Okay, do you want to tell maybe somebody who doesn't know who Sydney Sweeney is? Do you want to explain who she is before I get into what she's doing?

Speaker 2 (24:45)
She's

an actor. That's really it. She's been in Anyone But You, which is like her, the one that she like, or, also Euphoria, which is like her biggest roles, I think. I've only watched Anyone But You, but she is coming out with this bathwater bliss. A bath bomb made of her, some of her bathwater. You put it in,

Speaker 1 (25:06)
Which is what?

Speaker 2 (25:13)
to, or maybe the soap, is something made out of her bath water. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:17)
It's a soap.

So do you do you think it's really her bath water or they just say

Speaker 2 (25:24)
I feel like they're just saying it. Yeah, I don't know. That's a little weird. Either way.

Speaker 1 (25:32)
Okay, so here's the here's the here's the deal. Sydney Sweeney partnered with natural body care brand Dr. Squatch to produce Sydney's bathwater bliss priced at around $8 a bar. A promotion campaign is giving away 100 as competition prizes. I'm pretty sure they gave them away already. ⁓ One customer on Instagram wrote, is this made with your actual bathwater lol?

Speaker 2 (25:54)
Do this.

Speaker 1 (25:59)
That's awesome. Let's go Sydney Sweeney.

Speaker 2 (26:03)
So is it actually or is that just like a thing, like a rumor?

Speaker 1 (26:07)
I think she's saying it is, but I doubt it. Number one, that's kind of defeats the purpose of soap. And two, it's kind of weird. Maybe these people like that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:15)
Yeah.

There are some people who are just weird. Very common these days, actually.

but.

Speaker 1 (26:32)
So do you think people are going to be buying this Sydney's bathwater bliss?

Speaker 2 (26:39)
Probably not. actually. Yeah, a lot of people. The guys who are obsessed with her, like there's a lot of people who are obsessed with her because she's successful, she's pretty, a lot of people like her and yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:01)
Me 19 and it okay not gonna talk about that person

Speaker 2 (27:08)
There was another thing of like peop- I think celebrities just do that, like sell their bath water, sell something that- Like, or maybe spit or something, I don't know, like they sell-

Speaker 1 (27:21)
Real celebrities and we go back to the first topic that we were talking about real celebrities are not selling spit hair farts or whatever in a jar for people

Speaker 2 (27:31)
Wait,

I remember I forgot which celebrity it was they made a candle out of their sweat so that when it already yes So when it burns the room smells like their sweat Yeah, there's a no there's one girl who has like like a candle business for that I remember watching her videos she would make she would make it out of like every single Popular celebrity either look what they're supposed to smell like what they did smell like what I don't know It's just what they're supposed to be ⁓

Speaker 1 (27:42)
Wonderful.

Speaker 2 (28:00)
There was Jacob Elordi, Dylan O'Brien. I remember there was like an Olivia Rodrigo one. Yeah. I'm thinking it was mostly teenagers and like people in their like 30s, not like you. Right. No, think about it. There's probably someone around like the world that's like 50 alone in their room, like actually alone in their parents basement, sniffing a candle. Their favorite celebrity.

Speaker 1 (28:25)
Or maybe somebody alone in their bath is using one of these Sydney Sweeney's bath water balisses, is crafted with natural ingredients, including exfoliants, and shea butter and a touch of Sweeney's bath water, which Dr. Squatch website said was one of nature's finest aphrodisiacs. Very nice.

Speaker 2 (28:49)
Very nice. That's nothing. Eight dollars.

Speaker 1 (28:53)
$8 8 whopping dollars. Let me tell you something. Either she's a genius or people are just stupid.

Speaker 2 (29:04)
I mean, I think it's fine

Speaker 1 (29:07)
Okay, speaking of another great trend which people are just I don't I honestly like we went me Lily and Masha went to the store yesterday and Masha stayed in the car because she was she dressed like she just rolled out of Baton Rouge 430 on a Saturday afternoon

Speaker 2 (29:26)
eight people I know in my pajamas with my hair up and I made eye contact with five of them and I hid in the car. all the time. I make eye contact with people as I'm driving by and then I go ⁓ no these are people I know I'm sitting in the car doors locked. No these are people I know too it happened when I was hanging out on I think it was Friday I drove past a street and I just see one of my classmates that I'm not close to at all

Literally at the end of the street we both make eye contact with each other me and my friend are in the car We drive away, and we scream because that's awkward

Speaker 1 (29:59)
Yeah, besides the awkwardness that Masha felt, she didn't get out of the car. So me and Lily, who is not part of Daddy's Girls, but maybe in the future she will be because she's too little, we went to this store in town which sells like toys from China.

Speaker 2 (30:17)
jelly cats? No, the whole store is imports from China. morning glory. Right.

Speaker 1 (30:23)
So there's this trend that's going around you've probably seen it on tik-tok and on Instagram they're called la boo boo dolls Have you heard of this la boo boo?

Speaker 2 (30:33)
my my co-chasm she has a collection it's it's kind of like the new sony angel but like not ugly sony angels are better i think because the lobobos are kind of ugly i don't know the price difference though because um sony angels are like 20 bucks a pop the lobobos are like 200 dollars well

Speaker 1 (30:54)
So no, hold on it depends because so there's these little ones that like our key chains because I did a whole thing because once I walked to the store and I saw this little boo boo behind the counter and she only had She had two little boo boo's and I said to her how much is the little boo boo and she goes I first I said is that a little boo boo She goes yes, and then I got it. I got to tell you this is an ugly doll It's scary Lily was like, it's so scary. ⁓ it was scary. It was yellow It had a really ugly face with big teeth

And she said it's two hundred and eighty dollars. What? hundred and eighty dollars. Are you freaking kidding me? Who's going to pay two hundred eighty? She's like, well, I had another one. I sold it. I said, really? And she said that this was a limited edition one that in China you could only get for reward points. So I guess there's some kind of contest in China where you're so this is a limited edition one. So I guess there's ones where you get a box and you could open it and it's like a key chain. Those are like

forty to seventy dollars a box near their surprises you open the box yeah it's a surprise

Speaker 2 (31:58)
It's

like a Sony angel, but that version. But ugly and furry.

Speaker 1 (32:02)
Right ugly and furry but this one that she had was probably like Two two feet to you know about two feet two and half feet and you already saw it It wasn't like a surprise. So I guess there's different versions. I and then I went online I was like, my god, these are going for like hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. There's another one that sold for hundred fifty thousand Yeah, Pete cuz again Italian brain rot

Speaker 2 (32:25)
Wow. Just buy anything.

It's like every country brain rot, honestly. But also, you know what those scary things remind me of? The Chubarashka. What are those? my god, yeah. You were little, but you don't know them because you It's like these little tiny- Well, they're cute, actually, but they're furry. They're brown- They're They're orange.

Speaker 1 (32:54)
Right, but those weren't... That wasn't like, we're gonna pay a lot of money. This reminds me more of the Beanie Babies and the Beanie Booze. but before Beanie Booze, was Beanie Booze. Right, and they're not worth anything anymore.

Speaker 2 (33:07)
Peace.

Actually one of them is worth a lot of money and we have it which one princess Diana

Speaker 1 (33:16)
Yeah, but that's not worth it. There's like some limited edition one and that one is worth it This one's probably worth like a couple dollars

Speaker 2 (33:23)
Honestly, I probably have so many. I have a whole box filled with them. It's not like a small box, it's like a whole bin of like all the Beanie Boos I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (33:33)
Right. It cost a lot of money. Now you could barely give them away. But back to this love love boo boo doll. So do any of your friends besides your coach have these little boo boos?

Speaker 2 (33:36)
They're so cute.

I don't think so. Some of my friends invested in the MIA. Not invest, bought them because they're hopping on a trend.

Speaker 1 (33:46)
invested in them.

So are they reselling them or they're wearing them or they holding them or putting them

Speaker 2 (33:56)
collectibles

just like Sony Angels I think because my friend she has a box of Sony Angels in a room and she collects them and if she gets a double of it then she sells it on like Poshmark or eBay so

Speaker 1 (34:12)
And she's selling them? People buy them?

Speaker 2 (34:14)
Yeah, yeah, but they buy them for less than like for Sony Angels. I she bought it for 20 bucks I think she sold it for maybe 10 So like you're not making money, but you're also like if you have a double I guess you want to get rid of it but With these I don't know what it is because maybe they're all worth something but with Sony Angels they like they have so many of them

And they also have like a limited or legendary like one. Yeah, there is for the little boobies. It's like blackish gray with rainbow teeth and rainbow eyes. And it's like, if you get it, it's like a worth maybe like $4,000.

Speaker 1 (34:52)
So they're going for a lot of money if you get it.

Speaker 2 (34:54)
you

get that specific one and it's really rare I think that's what people are trying like that's what people are trying to do they're trying to buy as many as they can but they have a rule first one certain store remember if you get a double then you can return one of them and get a new box that's a rule in morning where you can only get two Sunning Angels you can't buy more than that really because they only have a limited supply and I'm pretty sure it's the same with the little boo boo things

Speaker 1 (35:22)
Well she didn't even have any libubus so... No, she had two limited edition ones, she doesn't have like... Right, so...

Speaker 2 (35:24)
I only had two.

Let's see they sold out already. She

had a box of them. I follow them on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (35:34)
So she had a box of the surprise ones.

Speaker 2 (35:36)
Yeah, but they also they had a birthday had two birthday parties there over this week so they and I think one of them was the boo-boo themed Very interesting. Yeah, because it's so many like people are like interested in those types of things the collectibles

Speaker 1 (35:47)
Really.

So, are you girls wanting these Labooboos?

Speaker 2 (35:59)
No,

no, I mean I kind of wanted us so I kind of hopped on the sony angel trend, but I only have like four five I have one I have three Yeah, two of them are on my car. Yeah, one of them is in my car and one of them is on a picture of you actually They're like the sticky ones. Yeah, the hippers Yeah, I only like the hippers the hipper ones are like the most useful ones cuz they like you could put them on your phone and they look cute or like you could put them on like I mean I have them on I have them on my

Speaker 1 (36:09)
Sony Angel

Speaker 2 (36:28)
The rearview mirror like on top of it mine, too

Speaker 1 (36:32)
The thing about these little boo boo things, and I think the reason why they became so popular is because celebrities like Rihanna and these other celebrities and these Instagram people are posting them and you know people say, I want that, I want that, that must be popular. Question is did they get paid or they're doing it because they like them.

Speaker 2 (36:50)
probably paid probably being paid no one likes those things I mean it's cute when they dress them up like my coach just posted a picture of her drinking matcha with her la boo boo and it's hers is like she dyed it hers was yellow she dyed the bottom of it pink it looks like and then she dressed it up to be really really cutesy

Speaker 1 (37:06)
So people are dressing up their libubu doll?

Speaker 2 (37:09)
That's weird. So is this the new American Girl doll? And then you can put it in like a special case so that way it's protected from the weather

Speaker 1 (37:15)
It's not the American girl doll because these are adults that are dressing up their Labooboo dolls. They're not children. Children are scared of them.

Speaker 2 (37:25)
true. Yeah it's more teenagers and like actually no because most kids around Olivia's age who are like in middle school trying to be popular, trying to be somebody, they also hop on these trends and they're like little like eight-year-olds like the people who run around Sephora, the little eight-year-olds who think they need makeup, it's like the same people.

Speaker 1 (37:48)
So they're buying the Labooboos. There's also fake Labooboos.

Speaker 2 (37:50)
Yeah.

Yeah, and there's also fake Sony Angels. Yeah, at the mall.

Speaker 1 (37:56)
The mall, there's stores that sell fake ones?

Speaker 2 (37:58)
Yeah,

there's little carts that sell and Walmart dollar ones or ten dollar. I was a victim of Walmart There was ⁓ the ocean Sony angels right one box like even it when you don't even open it it can go for like fifty to sixty dollars and they had a starfish and a whale one that were so cute and I was like let me go Google it really quick. I was in gym and I find Walmart It's like selling it for like two dollars per box. I'm like, okay. Let me get two real quick They look deformed. Yeah

Speaker 1 (38:03)
What do mean?

So wait, Walmart was selling fake ones?

Speaker 2 (38:29)
Yeah, it's like printed weird like the faces don't like match to the imprints of there's

Speaker 4 (38:35)
is

Speaker 1 (38:35)
Is this

Walmart in the store or Wal-Mart? Okay, so here's the thing. So Walmart and Amazon, have fulfillment centers. So what happens is a lot of third party people, third party means other people, not actually Walmart, are selling them through Walmart, through Amazon. So Walmart and Amazon aren't vetting or inspecting.

Speaker 2 (38:38)
Fine.

Speaker 1 (39:02)
these things and it's not just Labooboo dolls or Sony angels or other products and they're they're unintentionally selling fake items and years ago you guys know what eBay is? Yeah. So eBay had an issue because they were selling sneakers, Air Jordans and Nikes limited edition ones and what happened was people were getting fake ones.

So now if you go on eBay, there's ⁓ they actually do they they could check you could send it in check and it's get often often authentication authentication guaranteed and it's kind of like there's people like stock x where it's guaranteed because they inspect it and they test it and these little boo boo dolls are actually selling probably your sony angels on stock x where they're guaranteed but walmart and amazon I think are gonna have a problem soon because I feel like there's gonna be a lot of

class action lawsuits that means when a lot of people team up and they sue the companies over these fake products because it's not just the boo boo dolls it's not just the Sony things it's a lot of different things like supplements which you know is bad and other stuff like that so that's that's interesting that you said that about Walmart online I didn't know that I wonder if you could return it and say it's don't know why not on Amazon you could return anything

Speaker 2 (40:21)
I don't think you can. ⁓

I gave them to my friends. Like one of them as like a birthday present because they only opened one and the other one was still left in a box.

Speaker 1 (40:31)
And she didn't say, you gave me a fake birthday present.

Speaker 2 (40:34)
My friends are grateful for anything and everything like I'll give them half of my brownie and they act like I fed their entire family for like a month No, the brownies at school are brownies with ladyfingers like you know that bread yeah, it's inside I love those lunch ladies. God bless them. I take a picture of my brownie every time I eat it You know if they're real because those chicken those those chicken nuggets. Let me tell you I don't need the chicken. I only eat the brownies the chicken nuggets are not

Speaker 1 (40:41)
Yeah, you're lucky you didn't give him a fake brownie.

Speaker 2 (41:03)
good and neither are the french fries. No, the lunch lady in I don't even know every time I see her she's like my f**k and she gives me my brownie for only two dollars instead of three.

Speaker 4 (41:11)
favorite

Speaker 1 (41:15)
A brownie costs $2?

Speaker 2 (41:16)
Yeah, it's a big brownie. How big? The cookies are like, they're a dollar. sweet treat is $3.50. But then you, if you get there early enough, they cut brownies to different sizes. Like there's a huge one if they're early and then there's like little ones like this big about, like this big. And it's like, then imagine there's a line. And then the brownies I get are like about this big.

Speaker 4 (41:49)
but

Speaker 2 (41:51)
Also, it's school. They're trying to make money. Yeah

Speaker 1 (41:54)
everybody's trying to make money but that's a little bit no but the price item

Speaker 4 (41:57)
I

Speaker 2 (41:57)
run to those lunch rooms to get that brownie. But also it's the people who like the people who can't drive yet or the people who don't want to walk to like places to get food. They sit in the cafeteria and they eat whatever that's given to them.

Speaker 1 (42:09)
This is what you have to look forward to, Olivia. What are your lunches like at school? Are you fake brownies and fake Labooboos for

Speaker 4 (42:16)
No Victor!

Speaker 2 (42:18)
We

actually get like restaurants to kind of cater. What that mom sets up? Yeah, like let's say it's like She TPR TPR caters them. Yeah

Speaker 1 (42:34)
But people don't know what those are so maybe just say what kind of pizza place is like high-end pizza. So you get a high-end pizza place.

Speaker 2 (42:40)
sushi and we got sushi yeah so sushi and some mexican food the grocery store in new jersey in like yeah new jersey that's like really like organic good we don't have that anymore yeah we used to have it but we don't it like rotates every year was the best wednesday of my life mac and cheese it's because mac and cheese corn and chicken bites
