Speaker 1: Nine podcasts, Try Try, Try, Try before you true. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to try it before you die. It is wonderful
Speaker 1: to be back with you, Analyza. I have some very
Speaker 1: exciting news for you. I have found a new hobby.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start collecting la boo boos. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to elaborate. Well, look, here here's the thing we've we've
Speaker 1: sort of we've sort of chatted about this a little bit,
Speaker 1: but we're really breaking it down this episode. So I
Speaker 1: brought your attention to laboo boos because this has been
Speaker 1: infiltorating my instagram, my TikTok is what everyone is talking
Speaker 1: about over the last couple of weeks, and I wholeheartedly
Speaker 1: do not understand it. So not only has it been
Speaker 1: on socials, but this has been like leading stories in
Speaker 1: news bulletins. There have been lines outdoors at shops down streets.
Speaker 1: Excitement levels are through the roof, and people are equally
Speaker 1: as excited as they are disappointed when they can't get
Speaker 1: their hands on one. Crowds are literally waiting at three
Speaker 1: a m. In shopping centers to get these bizarre things.
Speaker 1: Have you even said what they are? La boo boos?
Speaker 1: So when you mentioned this. I had truly and honestly
Speaker 1: never heard of a lafu u Is that is what
Speaker 1: I mean? Lafru free? Did you say lah foo boo
Speaker 1: boo boo boo? I never heard of it, and now
Speaker 1: since you brought my attention to it, I can't unnotice it.
Speaker 1: So they're small, bunny like toys with like a little
Speaker 1: doll's face and where they originate from. So they're characters
Speaker 1: from a series called The Monsters, which is inspired by
Speaker 1: Nordic mythology, which is just some make believe kind of
Speaker 1: monster land. There have been over three hundred versions of
Speaker 1: La Booboo released, ranging from plush toys and artworks to
Speaker 1: vinyl figures, and it has become a global pop cultural icon. Now,
Speaker 1: when you look at them, they've got these mischievous little appearances.
Speaker 1: They're known for their signature, the pointy ears, their cheeky
Speaker 1: little grins, and their serrated teeth. To me, they look
Speaker 1: slightly sinister in their facial appearance and quite petrifying. They
Speaker 1: look like they've had four ice lattes. Well, can we
Speaker 1: just let everyone know that today's episode is trying a
Speaker 1: love boo boo? Is that what they are like? Booboowing
Speaker 1: a la boo boo, trying to get a la boo boo,
Speaker 1: trying to understand la boo boos. That's what it's trying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what we try, Yeah, trying to understand the trend
Speaker 1: because me not understand. No, So we did try to
Speaker 1: actually get one ourselves, but we couldn't Slash couldn't really
Speaker 1: be bothered. Well in the end, I certainly ain't lining
Speaker 1: up at three am at these popmark joints where they're sold.
Speaker 1: And there's pop mark joints in Australia. Yeah, there's apparently
Speaker 1: I think eleven now pop marks that have originated. I
Speaker 1: think they're Japan potentially, or Korea or care or something,
Speaker 1: but they've come here literally because of this la boo
Speaker 1: boo trend. They're too hard to get anyway, so we've
Speaker 1: borrowed our sisters. And my god, the look on our
Speaker 1: faces when our twenty eight year old sister said she
Speaker 1: had one of these little fairy dolls was that of
Speaker 1: shock and also I'm going to say disappointment, a bit
Speaker 1: of disgust, a bit of is this a joke? Yeah, confusion.
Speaker 1: I wasn't angry, I was just yet disappointed but why
Speaker 1: you're a goddamn adult, we exclaimed to her. This is
Speaker 1: what she said. I actually wrote this down. They're just
Speaker 1: cute little collectible things. Mine sits next to my TV.
Speaker 1: But if you want to pop it on your bag
Speaker 1: or something, you can. I'm about to get another one.
Speaker 1: The idea is like a sunny angel where it comes
Speaker 1: in a blind box. She added, Well, what the motherfucker
Speaker 1: is a sunny angel? I've actually got because I looked
Speaker 1: up similar trends to these Laboo boos. Right, So a
Speaker 1: sunny angel is described as a tiny cherubic. How do
Speaker 1: you say that cherub is supposed to be? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like a cherub a tiny cherub boy with novelty hats?
Speaker 1: Is that an angel that's apparently led the charge before
Speaker 1: Laboo Boos even came around. Then there's what's called a
Speaker 1: jelly cat. So a jelly cat is another type of
Speaker 1: soft plushy that comes in the forms of lobsters, toast,
Speaker 1: pancake piles and everything in between. There's literally no like
Speaker 1: I was trying to do research into what aside from
Speaker 1: being a collectible, there's just no sort of no. I
Speaker 1: don't understand what the rhyme or reasy. No, it's this
Speaker 1: blind box thing, right, which I didn't really even know
Speaker 1: was a thing. But I guess it's the mystery of
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. And aren't there normally sort of
Speaker 1: special ones that you're aiming to. There's there's secret land.
Speaker 1: But even so, I'd rather have a blind box of
Speaker 1: a pair of Chanel shoes or I don't think that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen, you know, even some tim Tams or something.
Speaker 1: I don't want a soft toy that I had when
Speaker 1: I was five years old. Well, yeah, we we just
Speaker 1: don't get it. But I'm gonna show I've got I've
Speaker 1: got our sisters here, and I want to say that
Speaker 1: she landed quite a sad color. It's great. I imagine
Speaker 1: this is low down the food chain of excitement when
Speaker 1: it comes to booboos. Imagine. So it just is this
Speaker 1: little gremlin looking thing. And I must say, before we
Speaker 1: go on living, you must unflick your collar. She's got
Speaker 1: wearing a Colin top today. And I said to myself,
Speaker 1: let it go, Let it go. And the anxiety was building,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I think I just need to
Speaker 1: address it before we All I could do was stare
Speaker 1: at the collar. I couldn't even think about that. If
Speaker 1: that's the worst thing that goes on with your day,
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty good life. Christ Almighty, I want
Speaker 1: you to tell me, first of all, the difference between
Speaker 1: a laboo boo, which is this legit thing, and what
Speaker 1: I've seen is called a lafufu. That's a laffufu. Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought you were joking before you like no, so
Speaker 1: my friend, Oh, I genuinely don't know what they're called.
Speaker 1: But my friend Christian Hull, who's on the social very
Speaker 1: funny gentleman, he posted himself buying a little knockoff lafufu
Speaker 1: for three dollars. He was in his pants about it.
Speaker 1: He popped it on his backpack and headed to balley.
Speaker 1: So they're a little faco magayko. My god, lib if
Speaker 1: you strapped any type of lafufu to your handbag, I'd
Speaker 1: lock you in the cellar. What about a laboo boo,
Speaker 1: any type of fury animated creature? We cannot be seen together.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I they have become the most coveted,
Speaker 1: hyped up thing. Like on TikTok, people just are obsessed
Speaker 1: with doing these unboxings. So they get these blind boxes.
Speaker 1: So it comes in a box and then it's in
Speaker 1: a bag, so you don't know what you're getting you're open.
Speaker 1: It's the excitement of opening it up. It's like people
Speaker 1: just get this thrill and sorry, please explain to me.
Speaker 1: Is it literally? Their faces are all the same that
Speaker 1: they open the box, and they're different colors, so it's like, oh, wonderful,
Speaker 1: mine's black one, mine's white, mine's purple, mind's green. I
Speaker 1: think so. I think that's how it works. And I
Speaker 1: think like some have multiple colored fur the best one,
Speaker 1: I don't know, isn't there like a golden I think? So? Oh,
Speaker 1: I expected you to do research on this, about the
Speaker 1: most research. But Scarlet says, people are attaching them Scarlet's
Speaker 1: our sister, by the way, to their multi thousand dollar
Speaker 1: Burken bags. Hundred thousand dollar burken bags. Surely a little
Speaker 1: booboo cheapens a burken bag. Well, because those ones, that
Speaker 1: one that you've got in your hand right there, that's
Speaker 1: our sister bought. That's thirty two dollars Australian. So you're
Speaker 1: attaching a thirty dollar little shitty gremlin toy to a
Speaker 1: how much of Burken Bag's like forty thousand dollars. Oh,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I don't never know they ever want
Speaker 1: to know. That's like putting a bomber sticker on a Bentley?
Speaker 1: Is that what they say? God? Is that a saying?
Speaker 1: Or did you just make that up? No? A bit.
Speaker 1: That's like putting a bumper sticker on a fer I
Speaker 1: think that's what is it? Ferrari? Anyway, it's one of
Speaker 1: those expensive cars stickers on an expensive car. So all right,
Speaker 1: so where do we get them? We get them from
Speaker 1: pop Marks. So you get them from yeah, so pop marked.
Speaker 1: So this is, by the way, I'm not not concentrating.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna google the most expensive one that you want
Speaker 1: to get even if you weren't, Even if you weren't concentrating,
Speaker 1: it would be new. So yeah, So this pop Mark
Speaker 1: is a company that designs and sells collectible designer toys.
Speaker 1: They are truly impossible to buy some unless you want
Speaker 1: to line up at three am at these pop Marks.
Speaker 1: They sell out every time they're release. They sell out
Speaker 1: in minutes. I tried online to get them. You cannot
Speaker 1: find them anywhere online. They're also everywhere you actually can
Speaker 1: like people buy them and then resell them for hundreds
Speaker 1: of dollars. Though you're gona say hundreds of thousands, it
Speaker 1: probably is hundreds of thousands. If you get one of
Speaker 1: those little secret scenarios, it probably is hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 1: Is there any part of you now that you've seen
Speaker 1: it and heard about sort of the height that makes
Speaker 1: you want one? God? No, but truly and honestly, I
Speaker 1: promise you, I'm not coming around to this. I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you. The rarest la booboo color is chestnut coco,
Speaker 1: and look at it. It looks exactly like the one scarlet
Speaker 1: hows our sister has, except it's like a chocolate brown.
Speaker 1: I'll die for it. I literally was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: let's just dunk it in some coffee. Yeah die? And sorry,
Speaker 1: what do they do? Because they don't make noises, They
Speaker 1: aren't They aren't even cute, as we said, they're quite
Speaker 1: aggressive and creepy looking. Yeah so yeah, As I said before,
Speaker 1: they're from this sort of Nordic mythology land and they
Speaker 1: actually do have a bit of meaning behind them, these ones.
Speaker 1: So despite them looking super mischievous, they're actually very kind
Speaker 1: hearted and they joking. No, this is I'm serious. This
Speaker 1: is all the stuff I did do research CAMA. They
Speaker 1: always want to help others out well, but they accidentally
Speaker 1: do bad things every now and then. This is what
Speaker 1: someone described. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should
Speaker 1: grin like labuoboo and naturally we will become happy. That's
Speaker 1: sort of the message behind the labooboo grin Like la
Speaker 1: boo boo, it's about to mung down on a bloody
Speaker 1: what bird, live bird or something a little like a
Speaker 1: carrot with serrated teeth coming for you in the middle
Speaker 1: of the night, that is standing over your bed like chucky.
Speaker 1: Do you know what really made them popular though, is
Speaker 1: when celebrities like so you know that Lisa from Black Pink,
Speaker 1: who's also in that White Lotus. Oh yes, Black Pink?
Speaker 1: Is that a band? Black? It's one of those what
Speaker 1: do they called K pop? I think pans, which I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's God. That's a whole other episode
Speaker 1: in itself K pop. Uh Rihanna wore them and Dua
Speaker 1: Lipa wore them as well on their bags, on their bags.
Speaker 1: So people have seen them having them on their bags.
Speaker 1: They become this street style staple that's really cool as
Speaker 1: bad charms, and so their popularity has just absolutely surged.
Speaker 1: I know that you call me gooby, I know that
Speaker 1: I'm not the poster girl for cool, but this is
Speaker 1: not cool, and I'm not judging you if you have one,
Speaker 1: but I'm also sorry. I just don't understand it, and
Speaker 1: I don't understand you. I need you to DM and
Speaker 1: tell us how these make you feel, what exactly they
Speaker 1: do for you, because our sister couldn't explain other than
Speaker 1: just sort of roll her eyes and say, oh, they're cute,
Speaker 1: and it sits there and I like it. I can
Speaker 1: sort of understand the surprise element of opening one of
Speaker 1: these up and finding out what you get. But as
Speaker 1: soon as you get that dopamine hit for me to
Speaker 1: be like cool and then more, I probably just throw
Speaker 1: it in the bitch. Do you know what gives you
Speaker 1: the same hit? Doing a scratchy Not that I condone gambling,
Speaker 1: but you know that's so true, Or like when you
Speaker 1: would go to macas and you see whether you got
Speaker 1: the matching monopoly pieces and you win a hash brown,
Speaker 1: or doing like a claw machine and finding out I'm
Speaker 1: going to get from the claw machine or kind of
Speaker 1: prize get me a one dollar fifty. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much they cost these days, but kinder surprise and
Speaker 1: we'll just open the little toy, then throw about the toy.
Speaker 1: That's all you need to do. Just grab it, see it,
Speaker 1: throw it out. Tell me what is most shocking about
Speaker 1: this though? When you look at one of those things,
Speaker 1: you think kids, kids are buying. These kids are the
Speaker 1: ones lining up, They're the ones with it on their handbags. Nope,
Speaker 1: this has grown adults. You're barely seeing a kid insight.
Speaker 1: That's just so strange to me. Can I say, I
Speaker 1: just did? I know? I wasn't allowed to research in
Speaker 1: this episode, but I did. I did get a little
Speaker 1: bit of something. Something's probably something that I've got in
Speaker 1: my notes. But anyway, the blind box toy marker is growing,
Speaker 1: and its global value was estimated to be more than
Speaker 1: twenty one billion dollars in twenty twenty four. The Australian
Speaker 1: market alone made up more than two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: million dollars of that figure, suggesting that ossies are more
Speaker 1: than willing to spend their hard earned cash on the collectibles.
Speaker 1: Do you know what we should do invest that in?
Speaker 1: Like homelessness or something I was just gonna say, we're
Speaker 1: in the midst of a cost of living cry and
Speaker 1: we're spending thousands of dollars on these little furry gremlins.
Speaker 1: Don't be that. Do you know what live? Listen to
Speaker 1: this god at links at links at links. This article
Speaker 1: came up newsnine news dot com dot Au on their website.
Speaker 1: Twenty three year old utterly I don't know otterly Vaorne
Speaker 1: travels six six hundred kilometers to get her hands on
Speaker 1: a laboo boo, the latest varo obsession among gen zs
Speaker 1: and millennials. And we're millennials, aren't we Sorry, I'm not
Speaker 1: obsessed with this. I saw someone on my TikTok that
Speaker 1: has done I reckon six unboxings of boxes of six.
Speaker 1: You can get boxes of sick, you can get boxes
Speaker 1: of six or four or something, and she just unboxes
Speaker 1: all of them. So there's actually been a thing titled
Speaker 1: labuobuo Mania because this is so big. I've seen people
Speaker 1: I haven't finished, but yeap. I've seen people you can
Speaker 1: out of a taste of your own medicine for once.
Speaker 1: I've seen people go overseas, like holidaying in Amsterdam and
Speaker 1: lining up for hours for Labooboo, like you're traveling in Amsterdam,
Speaker 1: go look at the canals. Mind you. We were in
Speaker 1: Chadston shopping center the other day and there's this new
Speaker 1: thing where I think you can line up if you
Speaker 1: spend a certain amount of money you can potentially win
Speaker 1: a prize. And the line was so big, but we
Speaker 1: genuinely considered because we'd done some shopping jumping in that line.
Speaker 1: So if you're passionate about something like a new iPhone
Speaker 1: or whatever. I've never personally done it, but it's in me.
Speaker 1: It is in me. I just wish I knew what
Speaker 1: the prizes work, so I was like, but you get
Speaker 1: to the end and they're like, oh what Chadston penn?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Chads and Pen's no good. But if you're
Speaker 1: going to say a Chadsten voucher, oh yeah, gordeo. And
Speaker 1: I don't know whether I preface this, but Chadson's a
Speaker 1: shopping center in Melbourne. Wonderful. I think it's the biggest
Speaker 1: in the Southern hemisphere, is it lib It's not a
Speaker 1: fun fact fact now it is. Actually that's actually a
Speaker 1: good fact. I wasn't being psychastic, so you guys see
Speaker 1: under that. But otterly. So sorry, Ossily if I'm saying
Speaker 1: your name wrong, she said, I went looking for them
Speaker 1: all around Sydney, but I had no luck. Her hunt
Speaker 1: for an al U sive Lo Boo boo finally came
Speaker 1: to an end more than six six hundred kilometers away
Speaker 1: in Malaysia, where she bought two for about forty dollars
Speaker 1: each from a store in Kuala Lumpur while on holiday.
Speaker 1: And Vaughn doesn't see it dying down anytime soon either,
Speaker 1: oh God forbid, adding that she's not surprised young Australians
Speaker 1: are spending their cash on the viral toys even in
Speaker 1: a cost of living crisis. See the link there because
Speaker 1: you mentioned link. Great link. Everyone has given up on
Speaker 1: saving lots of money, so we just buy trinkets for fun.
Speaker 1: She reckons, Okay, I could think of so many more
Speaker 1: things I could do for fun. Well, but I feel
Speaker 1: like we're judging, like each to their own. But also
Speaker 1: I'm just saying how I feel. I just said I
Speaker 1: can think of many more things I'd like to do
Speaker 1: for fun, each to their absolute hot. Yeah, well, we
Speaker 1: just staying on that whole Chadstone shopping center theme. My god,
Speaker 1: it was Honey Booboo Central. There wasn't it When we
Speaker 1: were there went for shopping. What's it called? Honeyfoo loo
Speaker 1: blue foo Boo boo booboo honey boo boo. That's the
Speaker 1: that mum in that show. No, she's a child. I
Speaker 1: was thinking with there're lots of childs and their mums
Speaker 1: that were like booboo there. Sorry, sorry, it was La
Speaker 1: Booboo Central there. And I don't know whether you notice,
Speaker 1: but I walked past three people. I overheard them all
Speaker 1: saying I need to get a la boo boo foo
Speaker 1: while I'm here in Chadstone and I don't know is
Speaker 1: there a boo foo shop there? What is it? I've
Speaker 1: actually got no idea. There was a growing man and
Speaker 1: I pointed him out to you. He was wearing a
Speaker 1: laboo boo on his belt. It was hanging off like
Speaker 1: a little girly charm. But the funnest thing about it, oh,
Speaker 1: we should have taken a picture because no one will
Speaker 1: believe it. It had a little Louis Vuton vest or
Speaker 1: something on and it was truly bizarre and a little bandanna.
Speaker 1: And I don't think that they come with these things
Speaker 1: or unless there's maybe there's a store now, maybe there's
Speaker 1: this new thing that they're creating outfits for La Boo Boos.
Speaker 1: So it's not just La Boo Boos. There's a whole
Speaker 1: fashion game for it now. But it had a Louis
Speaker 1: Vuitton bandanna and a little vest. I'm going to start
Speaker 1: making little cough mini coffins and selling little mini coffins.
Speaker 1: And if you want to get rid of your booboo,
Speaker 1: you just pop it in a coffin and bury it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Do you know what you can do
Speaker 1: the coffins? I'll make the gravestones. Yes, wonder our ip,
Speaker 1: little honey God, we have wanted to invent something, haven't weted?
Speaker 1: As I said, ever since you brought this to my attention,
Speaker 1: I've ever been noticing them everywhere. So Sydney AFL player
Speaker 1: Brody Grundy uploaded an actual album, so there wasn't just
Speaker 1: one photo. There was several photos. And call his Instagram
Speaker 1: they call this a carousel, oh, a carousel of pictures.
Speaker 1: And if you got his Instagram, I don't know whether
Speaker 1: it was just my picture or it was overexposed, but
Speaker 1: this one actually has actually has red devil eyes. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a special one. It's apricot colors.
Speaker 1: Look at it. Go to Brody Grundy's instagram. Actually, no,
Speaker 1: I reckon, they do. I reckon. Some of them are
Speaker 1: a bit more creepy than others. God, we're going to
Speaker 1: send up his followers something cring. You're welcome, Brody Grundy.
Speaker 1: So he uploaded pictures of game day and it was
Speaker 1: the little honey Boo boo being pictured everywhere, so on
Speaker 1: the oval, on in the change rooms, etc. With all
Speaker 1: his like guy player friends. And the very strange thing
Speaker 1: was that I don't think it's a joke. It's not.
Speaker 1: People were taking this very serious. That's why people are
Speaker 1: gonna come at us. You do realize we're gonna cop
Speaker 1: hate from this. I want to understand this, so please
Speaker 1: help me understand and understand, and you help me understand.
Speaker 1: You help me, help you. It's like help you help me.
Speaker 1: You know how people collect buttons and coins and stamps
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe it's just like that, and it's very
Speaker 1: toy is they're not an adult type, you know, what
Speaker 1: about why don't they just do like dildo's or something,
Speaker 1: And it's like mystery dialdo in you're not gonna put
Speaker 1: a mystery dialdle hanging on your bag like a bad child.
Speaker 1: Why do they need to be bad charms? Well, why
Speaker 1: can't they just be adult themed key rings? Why do
Speaker 1: they have to be faury toys or a little burken
Speaker 1: Oh that's a bit class. Maybe people have tried to
Speaker 1: get that off the ground, but they haven't. Doubt it.
Speaker 1: Let's think of another adult time. I can't. We just
Speaker 1: did then, and we didn't come up with very good ones.
Speaker 1: Now are these the sort of modern day ferbies and
Speaker 1: troll rolls? They aren't, because no they aren't, because that's
Speaker 1: what kids liked in our day. That's true, that's true.
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to talk about some other trends please?
Speaker 1: Because I have so many? And this is fun. So
Speaker 1: this got us thinking about past trends and bads, bads,
Speaker 1: bads And do you know what? There was a lolly
Speaker 1: called a fad that was ad We used to smoke.
Speaker 1: They looked like the little mutter sticks. Ye, maybe we
Speaker 1: just acted out smoking them because we pretended they were cigarettes.
Speaker 1: They've got fads And isn't it fad? Isn't that a cigarette?
Speaker 1: Isn't that a nickname for a cigarette? I could be
Speaker 1: absolutely talking abou dm us if they're still selling them
Speaker 1: in the local lily shop. So obviously the biggest one
Speaker 1: I can think of. Tama got chess. Oh what little
Speaker 1: bastards they I literally had written down, these little hand
Speaker 1: kering bastards. God almighty, But they were fun because you
Speaker 1: were so distracted during class. Oh but you're in class
Speaker 1: and you had them in your pocket, and you've got
Speaker 1: these little bastards just making these little buzzing and beeping
Speaker 1: noises at you. How are you supposed to keep them
Speaker 1: alive in biology class? Oh? That's it. Class would get
Speaker 1: in the way and they would often pass away a
Speaker 1: school day, but you would want it to grow into
Speaker 1: a big creature. And sometimes you'd be like, Mum, I
Speaker 1: need a day off because otherwise my little Tama got
Speaker 1: a pass away. I don't think that flew. Playing Snake
Speaker 1: on your little Nokia. Oh my god, that is one
Speaker 1: thing that I wish they still had on the iPhone.
Speaker 1: They might you might be able to download it. That
Speaker 1: was fun. It's just back to basics, isn't it. Yoyos
Speaker 1: don't fix what I brow? Remember yoos? I had tie
Speaker 1: the around your middle finger and you just like fling
Speaker 1: it down to the floor and a flee back up again.
Speaker 1: What a simple, boring old game, that is. What about
Speaker 1: remember what are they called POGs and tasos? Remember, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I didn't have that written down. That's a
Speaker 1: great one collecting tasos. But I actually researched what was
Speaker 1: the idea of them? And it was literally just like
Speaker 1: you just flip them and they just like land on
Speaker 1: one side and you just collect them and and you
Speaker 1: would have I would have a scrap book, I know,
Speaker 1: and you would swap them. You would swap them and
Speaker 1: I guess they're like the footy card kind of things
Speaker 1: these days. And you got them in chips. Yeah what
Speaker 1: were they were into like doritos or something? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that was actually fun. I know some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that I've gotten here. Poly Pocket remember my good poly
Speaker 1: Pocket had the tiny little plastic dolls that lived in
Speaker 1: a little plastic shell in little mini yeah mini lands
Speaker 1: like just not good if you're too young, easily swallowbleute. Uh.
Speaker 1: What about slap bands slap bracelets too? Bands where you'ack
Speaker 1: them on your arm and you wack them on a
Speaker 1: friend's arm, doesn't not overly safe? No, you. You'd literally
Speaker 1: go around to just people and like slap it on,
Speaker 1: slap it on, and then curl around like teachers would
Speaker 1: slap them on me too. Like anymore slinkies? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: trying to slink them down the stairs? Oh god, took skill.
Speaker 1: These are so like cheap and simple, but like grave
Speaker 1: you so much joy. Rubik's Cube Still to this day,
Speaker 1: you can't do it. That's still a thing though. They've
Speaker 1: really clung to life. What about inflatable furniture. Remember you
Speaker 1: used to get those inflatable couches and chairs that used
Speaker 1: to just squelch around on, and they'd be like hundreds
Speaker 1: of them, hundreds of them. Jelly shoes I've got that too.
Speaker 1: Jelly shoes zoobiest things you've ever seen in your line.
Speaker 1: They're like little lattice jelly, flimsy rubbery shoes, the olden
Speaker 1: day crocs, old day Yeah, they are hacks. I never
Speaker 1: got into that trend where you would bang a little
Speaker 1: mini bean bag on your hand back and forth, back
Speaker 1: and forth. My god, we were distracted by basic things.
Speaker 1: What about pedal pusher pants, Oh my god, those three
Speaker 1: quarter pants. They're actually coming back though. There's lots of
Speaker 1: fashion gear, lots of fashion fads. They just yeah, they
Speaker 1: just don't make things like they used to. They over
Speaker 1: complicate things. Now, what about those in the same vein
Speaker 1: as the slap wroost bands, the wire choker necklaces, and
Speaker 1: then you used to like pull them on your head
Speaker 1: as headbands. I never pulled mine as a headband, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. But the chokers. Do you remember the chokers.
Speaker 1: I've definitely still got one. I thought it might come
Speaker 1: back in fashion safe to say, I would have one
Speaker 1: of all of these fashion items just in the hope
Speaker 1: that maybe they'll come back and that'll be thirty five
Speaker 1: kilos lighter. I know, but it does happen, so you're
Speaker 1: not silly. I mean, we had MySpace obviously before Facebook days.
Speaker 1: Are jit spinners were more recent? What about Gangnam style? What?
Speaker 1: But g what? What Macarina? Yep, yeah, that's a good
Speaker 1: And now the more modern version of that is like
Speaker 1: the Harlem shake. Yeah, and planking planking remember that planking
Speaker 1: trend where you'd throw your body stiffly across something and
Speaker 1: then you'd be filmed and it was in weird positions.
Speaker 1: And what about flash mobs. That's kind of a bit
Speaker 1: of the same vein. What about things about Blockbuster, like
Speaker 1: hiring videos from a Blockbuster and you'd hire them for
Speaker 1: like one or two nights, and they'd be late fees,
Speaker 1: and it'd be like all the fashion to go to Blockbuster.
Speaker 1: It's more like a technological upgrade, isn't it. Like cassette
Speaker 1: tape VC, I've got that on my list. Remember we
Speaker 1: would burn CDs and cassette tapes. Like, remember there was
Speaker 1: a song you'd like, you would put a cassette tape
Speaker 1: in the radio, wait for the song to come on,
Speaker 1: run over, and press record on the cassette tape just
Speaker 1: so you could have that one soul you'd missed the
Speaker 1: first verse. And for those young and listening, burning a
Speaker 1: CD doesn't mean you said it on fire. You have
Speaker 1: to put it in your commute computer and you would
Speaker 1: burn the song on the CD. And remember Napster and
Speaker 1: lime Wire, Oh my god, and then they started charging you,
Speaker 1: so they went bust because everyone deleted them. So you
Speaker 1: do the cassette tapes for the music. And then you
Speaker 1: do this program called Napster or lime Wire where you
Speaker 1: would illegally download movies and TV shows. But Napster and
Speaker 1: well maybe it was too. But you could definitely download
Speaker 1: TV shows because I remember getting discs pirating. What a
Speaker 1: time to be Remember how your computer would be like?
Speaker 1: He just will never understand what we went through our ears.
Speaker 1: I reckon a damage because of it, iPod Nano's and
Speaker 1: game boys? Ohgot but gosh, pumpkin patch? Are they still around? Brands? Actually?
Speaker 1: Are children's clothing? Aren't? Angry birds? And do you know
Speaker 1: what else? That really annoying? Crazy frog ring tone? I
Speaker 1: want to try and do it.
Speaker 2: Wee wee wee, that's what I was. Remember you'd buy
Speaker 2: the ring times na na wee.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's on the spot. On the hard pronuts and
Speaker 1: cruffins and crookies. You know where they combined two bait
Speaker 1: goods together, hybrid bait, hybrid baking goods. What hybrid can
Speaker 1: we create because a lot of them have been combined.
Speaker 1: So cro nuts is a what cross on? And doughnut
Speaker 1: cruffin is a cross on and muffin crookie is a
Speaker 1: cross on? I do a cookie? What about? I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think of my two favorite things. Yes, I know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say. Are you going to say cinnamon
Speaker 1: scroll and cheesecake? No? Actually, I was thinking of vanilla
Speaker 1: slice and a caramel slice. No, that's too much, too goosy,
Speaker 1: too much, too sweet. What did you say? A cinnamon
Speaker 1: scroll and a cheese Yes, cinnamon scroll and a cheesecake
Speaker 1: and we call it a squeeze cake or something like
Speaker 1: a scroll cheesecake, a squeeze cake. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you combine it or work shop the name. Maybe you
Speaker 1: could just make a cheesecake cinnamon scroll, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: has been done. I'm sure that has been done. We
Speaker 1: love cheesecake brownies and as brownie on the bottom and
Speaker 1: cheesecake on the top. Who ever thought of that? Hey,
Speaker 1: some very current piping hot trends which I'm really sorry
Speaker 1: to say lived. Wait. Can I just touch on a
Speaker 1: couple more appearance type ones from back in the day
Speaker 1: and then let's move to the modern day. Do you
Speaker 1: remember hair cap streaks? Remember we used to go to
Speaker 1: the hairdresser and they used to put the cap on
Speaker 1: Sonny and Paul pull hair through the little holes of
Speaker 1: your cap and you would just have these streaks of
Speaker 1: blonde hair that were just so sort of evenly spread,
Speaker 1: like someone had come with a white out panan onlines zebras,
Speaker 1: but the brows no, but to remember Sonning, and that
Speaker 1: was a spray you could get. You probably can still
Speaker 1: get it from their chemist, and we would just do
Speaker 1: it ourselves. And I would come as a full blown
Speaker 1: ginger on Monday to school because you'd have to get
Speaker 1: it exactly right. The skinny brows, having no brows. Also,
Speaker 1: I think it's not PC to say ginger anymore, So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that. Red heads or orange colored hair,
Speaker 1: skinny brows, blue eyeshadow, or just really branshat. Although our
Speaker 1: little sister the other day sent us a video of
Speaker 1: herself with purple makeup. I think that's making a comeback,
Speaker 1: like brightly colored maker. She just sent that to you.
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't get that you two have this weird
Speaker 1: secret friendship I don't know about because you refer to
Speaker 1: things I don't know about it quite often. What about
Speaker 1: just a few I know it's sort of not really
Speaker 1: a trend, but TV shows remember like Art Attack, Art Attack,
Speaker 1: that was the most magnificent, That was just pure, And
Speaker 1: I would that today if the creative, creative, useful, entertaining, wholesome,
Speaker 1: lift off, lift off with e C with the with
Speaker 1: the doll with no face, creepy little doll that just
Speaker 1: got no face, and like mittens for hands that just
Speaker 1: goes up in this lift and all this weird creepy
Speaker 1: stuff happens with all these weirdo characters. Sim That's probably
Speaker 1: why you have a lift fear, because it was from
Speaker 1: when I got stuck. Is in a similar vein of
Speaker 1: so there scrembling little bit blues clothes, blues clothes back
Speaker 1: in the day, you know, with the human man with
Speaker 1: his little cartoon character dog Educational just running through fields
Speaker 1: and cartoon make believe fans, Saddle Club, Captain Planet Oh,
Speaker 1: Captain Planet, Chuck Finn. Was that just an Adelaide thing,
Speaker 1: Chuck Finn? Maybe your friend production, My friend Millie Noble
Speaker 1: was in it. Millie Night was her unmarried name, Sabrina
Speaker 1: the teenage Witch, because that was important to give you
Speaker 1: both her and married names, just in case she's listening,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to give her credit credit where
Speaker 1: credits due. And finally, this was a trend that we
Speaker 1: heavily brought into, and that is Bardo barred over bad
Speaker 1: and did we we went to Westfield in Adelaide, did not, Eliza?
Speaker 1: We did? So live I think I've blanked it. We
Speaker 1: went to Westfield Marion and lined up with I'm not
Speaker 1: even joking hundreds of thousands of people to see Bard perform.
Speaker 1: We waited, she'll treat me bad, don't you'll make me sad?
Speaker 1: My love is deeps and the poison poison. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's laboo boo gear. That that's not that we
Speaker 1: were children ish? Can I go to the current ones? Now? Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna like this, but I think these
Speaker 1: health fitness and wellness space type ones, they're a fad
Speaker 1: slash a trend, and I think they could be on
Speaker 1: the way out apple side of vinegar. Oh, I reckon
Speaker 1: that gear is horseshit. I don't ever have that apart
Speaker 1: from in dressings. I don't shot people shot it in
Speaker 1: the morning. I reckon that's on the I reckon that's
Speaker 1: a garbageio that one. But again, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not a vinegar scientist, but it sounds like bullshit to
Speaker 1: me because I'm putting vinegar in my dressings, quite a
Speaker 1: lot of it, and nothing's happening to me. I reckon,
Speaker 1: half of your body is made up of vinegar. It's
Speaker 1: like blood. And vinegar. I can drink dressing. It's compression boots.
Speaker 1: I bought some compression boots, so you strap them on
Speaker 1: and they're supposed to eliminate swelling and inflammation. Well has
Speaker 1: that worked for you? Tip? They ain't working so far.
Speaker 1: Also live sparks. I don't reckon. Look, they've been around
Speaker 1: having a sporting clubs for a while, but now everyone's
Speaker 1: jumped on the ice bath bandwagon. Doctor Carr, not the neighbors,
Speaker 1: Doctor Carr, but you know that science man, doctor Carr.
Speaker 1: It's on a lot of the talk shows. He says
Speaker 1: we've been conned that there's an element of truth in
Speaker 1: that they can reduce muscles saun inflammation, which is I
Speaker 1: think the old school sporting club technique. But he says
Speaker 1: they're mostly a load of shit. But you know what,
Speaker 1: for me, I always feel really refreshed after and like
Speaker 1: I've had a coffee. So if that's all that that
Speaker 1: gives me, I can slap you and you'll get the
Speaker 1: same effect. Okay, let's try that, shall we. Or you
Speaker 1: stick your head in the freezer for one second, I'll
Speaker 1: put some ightce cubes under your eyes. Also, that's why
Speaker 1: you've stopped the cold showers because doctor Carr has told
Speaker 1: you it's all bullshop. Doctor Carr told me just hold
Speaker 1: hold your horses, because I would have been annoyed if
Speaker 1: after years of doing that, I found out that it
Speaker 1: was rubbish. I don't like investing unnecessary time in things
Speaker 1: other than myself, like a massage and a facial I'm
Speaker 1: quite happy to invest a lot of time, money and
Speaker 1: energy in those me. Time is key. This is the
Speaker 1: biggest one, and this is going to hit you and
Speaker 1: hurt you hard. Exercise. It's a fad bone broth. I
Speaker 1: love it has bone broth every single day. But do
Speaker 1: you know what, I just love it. I don't care
Speaker 1: if it doesn't do anything for me. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I love the taste of it. What's it supposed to do?
Speaker 1: My sweet angel, give you collagen? Oh you're absolutely making
Speaker 1: that up. I promise you'll have a flagen tablet. If
Speaker 1: you google benefits of bone broth, I'm gonna do it
Speaker 1: right now. You're just praying that it comes up with
Speaker 1: something about But you are deep deep in the bone
Speaker 1: broth trend. Vortex health aids, digestion, anti inflammatory, improved nutrient absorption.
Speaker 1: It's got lots of collagen content. Rich in collagen may
Speaker 1: reduce joint pain, hairskin nails. Should I go on, No,
Speaker 1: I just see some vegetables. But I think the key
Speaker 1: here is inventing something that isn't just a trend. It's
Speaker 1: a lifelong necessity. And I'm concerned that that there's not
Speaker 1: many of them left life, Like you know, a vacuum
Speaker 1: that isn't going anywhere? Is it a vacuum? But they're
Speaker 1: more just like what else, likeducts. I guess someone who invited,
Speaker 1: invited or invented light what hasn't been invented? That someone
Speaker 1: will always need the cure for something or you know, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go on, Like but lif you find a cure
Speaker 1: for a disease like can cales. That's what we need
Speaker 1: to do. Find a cure for cankeles, because there doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be one as yet, no correct, So let's
Speaker 1: work on it. And if you want to work with me,
Speaker 1: doctors out there on a cure for can cales touch base.
Speaker 1: I'm really serious about it. There's always going to be
Speaker 1: in and out of fashion, isn't there There is? But
Speaker 1: as I said, the key is inventing something long living
Speaker 1: and lasting, and it's going to be financially fruitful for us.
Speaker 1: We just need to be more aware during our daily
Speaker 1: life of things that agitate us annoy us, you know,
Speaker 1: we find hard going or something so that we can
Speaker 1: be like, that's what we need to invent. No, but
Speaker 1: can I tell you I've done that and I am
Speaker 1: in tune with it, and I google it and it's
Speaker 1: been invented always, every single bloody time, do you? Because
Speaker 1: remember on the block we invented strapping a paint brush
Speaker 1: onto a pole. You know, I know you think like rollers,
Speaker 1: they are on long poles. We couldn't find a paint
Speaker 1: brush like a paint brush so you could cut in
Speaker 1: on your ceiling or the top areas, and so we
Speaker 1: strapped it using gaffer tape our paint brushes on the end.
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is the start of a kingdom.
Speaker 1: But I think when I googled it someone had done it.
Speaker 1: But why can't we buy the me main Bunnings? Maybe
Speaker 1: they are don't don't quote us on that Bunnings, nor
Speaker 1: might at ten they could be around. They might DM
Speaker 1: us with your favorite fad or trans Please I could
Speaker 1: talk for hours about this. I want to know, please
Speaker 1: give it because there's some we've missed for sure. God. Yeah,
Speaker 1: our baby sister, who is twenty eight, would not have
Speaker 1: heard of one these things. She will never understand what
Speaker 1: we went through. She's heard of his la booboos and
Speaker 1: jelly cauts, and I mean, honestly, sunny sides or whatever
Speaker 1: that was, they called sunny moon, sunny dolls, sunny stand by.
Speaker 1: They are called sunny angels, sunny angels, sunny angels. Really.
Speaker 1: Ah well, that's that's all I have for you. I
Speaker 1: do have a Hall of fame wonderfuls there. This week's
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame comes to us from a lovely lass
Speaker 1: by the name of Cissy. She wanted to share a
Speaker 1: story similar to the one you told lib about staying
Speaker 1: at a guy's house and how you accidentally walked into
Speaker 1: the parents room. How embarrassment wonderful. Cissy said, I had
Speaker 1: a sleepover at a guy's place after dating for a
Speaker 1: few months. Got up to leave in the morning, and
Speaker 1: my general manager was making breakfast in the kitchenshtag orkies.
Speaker 1: And I said, what do you mean, So their dad
Speaker 1: or mom was your manager? And Cissy said, yes, his
Speaker 1: dad and it was his house and his parents' house
Speaker 1: and they all lived together and we didn't realize the connection.
Speaker 1: That's another matection scenario. That is another witness there. Where
Speaker 1: you are gone, you find a new identity and ah
Speaker 1: that is because you may as well say, good a boss,
Speaker 1: I just rooted your son. Your son's willie has been
Speaker 1: in my virgil that you can't come back from. That
Speaker 1: respect is dignity and maturity and uh jel jewel communication
Speaker 1: is forever tarnished and like, yeah, imagine just walking in
Speaker 1: the office every day and having to face him and
Speaker 1: quit your job. But that is so much worse in mine.
Speaker 1: That's actually made me feel a whole heap better. Thad,
Speaker 1: thank you, sis, I would appreciate it. Can you please
