Mojo in the morning. Are your kids into, either of your kids into LaBuboos at all?

Please make it stop.

Are they really that, are they that I love it?

It's all they talk about is how bad they want a LaBubo. And those things are ugly.

Last week you talked about some doll. Oh, Jelly Cats.

Jelly cats are stuffed animals. Those are honestly very cute. I'm into the jelly cats.

But you made it seem last week like your kids weren't into labuboos, that they love the jelly cats more. But then all I hear my friend's kids talk about is labuboos.

Oh, no. They know all about labuboos. I had kind of put the kibosh on the labubo craze because it's very, very hard to get your hands on one. I know in the Detroit area, 12 Oaks Mall and Great Lakes Crossing have a Pop Mart vending machine, and that's where you can get them. But there are only so many. and people wait in line for hours to try to get one.

Can I tell you the dumbest thing that I ever saw? Honestly, this is going to get me in trouble because I think she's a listener too. Do I bring this up? Yes, please. No, because I bring stuff up sometimes on the air and it's so bad. I used to never even think about it. I'd barrel right through it. But I saw a girl with one of those Hermes purses with a LeBubu hanging off of it.

Oh, that's a thing that I don't get.

Okay, so first off, I saw the purse, which I know you don't like those purses. I think those purses are beautiful, although I don't think the prices are.

I never said I didn't like them.

Oh, I thought you said you didn't like them.

No, I said I will never in my lifetime be able to afford one.

Like, I think those, I think they're very pretty. Like, I actually like, like, I love women's. Handbags? Yes. And I call them purses. And Norm, our old agent, used to go, when they're that expensive, they're not a purse. they're a handbag so i uh i was at somerset which by the way somerset's on fire in the summertime even i mean the the when i'm not not on fire like literally because it had been no it's very busy it's like packed yeah it's because i think the weather is so hot and people are going to the mall and i don't know if maybe the malls in toledo and grand rapids are the same too but this mall you know uh that we have in the detroit area has got like a bajillion stores and so i saw this girl walking and she kind of did the whole look like I might know that you're mojo in the morning or she may be recognized and I go hey and I kind of I always do that

And I look and I'm going, oh, she's got a really nice purse. And what is that hanging off of it? And it was a little alien looking creature, the little boo-boos. And I'm like, why would you do that to your, why are, what is the deal with a grown person with a little doll?

It's a status symbol at this point. It's like you got one. Yeah, that's what it feels like.

When I was in France on vacation, I made Wes go to Pop-Mart to try to find little boo-boos. And he's like, are we really here? And you can't even get them. You can't even get them there. I honestly don't even know how much they cost.

Look at the StockX prices.

The guy at Potmart, yeah, two grand. Are you out of your mind?

Would you pay $4,000 for the LaBubu Monsters LaBubu pink one?

Even in Europe, you have to be put into, at Potmart, you have to be put into like a lot, from how I understood this, you have to be put into a lottery. And then if your number or name or whatever is drawn, then you have the option to purchase LaBubu. That's like a Burger King. But now that my, like Lucy's like, mom, they, apparently there's a, a Pop Mart vending machine on a parking, on the top of a parking garage in Ferndale. I'm like that. I, then I'm, then I'm sitting here last night, like going down this rabbit hole. I'm like, no, Luce, that's not, it's a rumor. It's fake. You know what? What in the heck? I go, you only want one because everybody else wants one. Like jelly cats. I understand they're, they're cute. You, they're collect, you can collect them all. This is just weird to me. And the adults, it's, yeah, I don't know.

Where are they based? Is this something from China?

I don't know where PopMard is, but PopMard is where you get them.

So I'm convinced that this is their way. There's like hidden things with these things. Like there's something that we're going to find out later.

You know the guy who created them? I think I read somewhere made a billion and a half dollars overnight. Wow. Because of the Lou Boo Boo crate.

The Hong Kong-Belgian designer, Cassine Leung, marketed and sold exclusively at China-based retailer, Popmart. Popmart. Is that like a mini-mart?

No, Popmart is... I don't even know how to describe it.

Oh, they're like vending machines.

Yes, but then there are stores as well.

Have you guys ever eaten a pizza out of a vending machine? I see that one at the airport all the time. I want to try it.

I hear it's amazing, though. Is it? Yeah, that's what I hear. Lee talks about it. Lee Robinson? He eats the pizza. That's so funny.

Let me read more on this. La Boo Boo began as a character design back in 1972. Wow, this has been out since, we just found out about it? And it's been around since 1972?

All it took was a Kardashian to wear it.

Is that what it was?

Probably.

It was, really. La Boo Boo, I'm telling you, I'm going to read something in here. Oh, political promotion. Hold on, let's go down to this thing. Because you know it's like the Chinese Communist Party trying to take us over with TikTok. No, it doesn't say that.

The commies?

In September 2024, the People's Action League held a grocery distribution event. What the hell is this going on? Where they were giving this away as a promotional item. Lamb Bin Bin. What is that?

I don't know.

Right, and other way you say La Boo Boo. Is that what it is? There's something with the name. Somebody needs to call us up and tell us if you know if there's any kind of thing there. What's going on, Monica?

Hey, Mackinac City is flooded with these La Boo Boo's.

What? Really? I thought Mackinac City was basically...

Now, are they the real ones? Because Lucy was telling me how you can tell if they're real. Like, there was a store in Birmingham that supposedly had them, and then she was like, oh, no, everybody's saying they're the fake ones. Mackinac City.

We went online and we Googled something. I don't even remember exactly what it was to confirm if it was a real word or not. But also, I don't know if your kids have the Sonny's Angels is another one.

My favorite was going to Mackinac City on Luke's eighth grade or sixth grade trip. And we went to the little shop there that they have in Mackinac City. and they had like poop emoji pillows and they had t-shirts you know that all had weird designs on them that were that the teachers were some somewhat bummed out i let the kids buy i remember that i got in so much trouble from uh luke's catholic school for that what's up paul it's mojo in the

morning we're talking about le boo boo's hey good morning yeah so i saw a video about these le boo booths and i want you to look something up it's called the mesopotamian demon called pazuzu and it looks strangely similar to these labubu things that are going around

wait a second are we saying is this a demonic thing i mean kind of

Yeah, kind of.

That's what I mean. It looks pretty similar. Like, it might have been, like, inspiration from that or something. I don't know.

Like the big mouth, maybe. I don't know.

Like the sharp, pointy teeth and the crazy eyes and everything.

Oh, here's one right here. Are La Boo Boo's demonic? Hold on a second. Let's find out. La Boo Boo. La Boo La Boo. La Boo Boo. If you slow it down and reverse it, you can hear it.

These toys became extremely popular in recent years, especially across social media platforms. They sold out. Insufficient stock. And the boo-boo dolls have been spotted dangling off of celebrities.

Okay, today we're going to talk about these dolls that have basically taken over the internet because for one thing, I have received so many comments and messages from you guys saying, Taylor, please talk about the la-boo-boo dolls, where I had to then unfortunately respond to many of you guys and say, guys, I am not going to be making a video on the la-boo-boo dolls because there is nothing demonic about them and there really isn't anything to say that truly is mentally where I was about 24 hours ago. That is until I received an email with a little bit more information and a lot of things have been coming to the light. With that being said, we need to talk about them for very, very good reason. Let's dive in. All right. When the boo-boos first made their way onto my TikTok for you page, I was... Real quick. Are you sure you want me to continue

to play this because their dad will not allow them to have this if I keep playing this.

That's fine. You okay?

Because I'm telling you, once we know...

I'm not buying them all a boo-boo.

I know you're going to get them. You say that you're not buying them something, and the next thing I know, you go, guys, I gave in, I bought it for my kids. You give everything to those kids.

That's not true. Lucy still does not have a phone.

That is true. Okay, now.

It's actually scrolling at night. At least we're going to commence with us to get her more.

Which I should not have been doing. right because for one thing when i first saw these things my first initial reaction was that they were kind of ugly but also i felt they kind of looked demonic and when i went to the comment section i was met with a bunch of christians that actually were feeling the same way that i was feeling and i try not to ignore feelings like that because i don't want to ignore the holy spirit and i believe the holy spirit warns us when we should be staying away from something so lydia you know

the holy spirit is this is this demonic yes it is demonic and what's interesting about it is a lot

of chaldeans are going to get them and this mesopotamian demon derives from the chaldean

community well it's funny because that's the girl i saw this weekend with it on her mes purse yep

they're all over birmingham it's crazy what's up mike how you doing hey what's up how you guys

good what's going on um first of all i want to say something about all this religious stuff people thought pokemon and harry potter is demonic too so that's just kind of that's kind of out there but um what i wanted to say was my daughter since i got her one she started calling it her little pussy and uh she don't know where it comes from but i'm like maybe we shouldn't call it that anymore let's let's hear i think that's more scary than it being demonic is being called a la pussy that might be my favorite one of them all susan what's going on hi susan it's

mojo in the morning hi good morning um the simpsons did actually predict that the mabubus would come out and they are pretty demonic you said a simpsons predicted it yes they did I think Marge got one for Maggie, and, you know, she was just being, you know, possessed by the doll.

Wow. The Simpsons predicts everything, you know? That's crazy. I gotta find it. Hannah, what's happened? And it's Mojo in the morning.

Hi. So, I'm 29, and I have three LeBooBoo's. Oh, my God. So, it's all about the chase, essentially. You're buying them, and there are blind boxes. so you don't know what you're going to get. And so when you get the one that you don't want, you just buy another one until you get it. And there's like, go ahead.

Are your three that you have valued at pretty good money? Did you get lucky on yours?

I have one. So I recently went to Japan and I got one that it's hard to find and that one's valued pretty high, but I like having them, so I'm not going to sell them. But a lot of people will buy them and buy a bunch of them and sell them at like ridiculous prices just to make money on it.

How much money did you pay for your three?

They're like 30 bucks a piece. So I got them at the normal price. But like I went, there's a store in Madison Heights that like had them up sold for like $70 for one box.

We're hoping that they are demonic because then Shannon doesn't feel the pressure to buy them for her kids. Because, you know.

It is such a weird thing. I'm so irritated by it because they keep asking. But at the same time as a mom, I'm like, but I kind of want to get it just to say.

did it yeah you know you should call your kids up but i've seen more adults with them too yeah

hannah would you let shannon borrow like one of them and she'll give it back to you and then

she would never get it back they're not gonna let it go are you kidding me well like an airbnb for

la boo boo don't you think that's a great idea because you know in about what seven months or something like that this la boo boo craze is over with and nobody's gonna give a rat this was the

damn tamagotchi and that thing drove me nuts for like four days and i i just donated all of them because i'm like i found them in the bottom of the toy you know the toy bins what's up with though

20 somethings like you hannah walking around with labubus or do you keep them somewhere in your house

where nobody can see um sometimes i will put it like on my bag and carry it out um with me but usually like i'm like i'm a gamer too so a lot of it's like it just goes with like the look you know So they're like hanging up in my game room and I have other collectibles and all that kind of stuff. So.

Wow.

That's to me. That just seems, you know, I don't know. It's interesting, but I guess it's like Nike's like Jordans and stuff. Everybody fights for their own thing. So I can't. And stock X, give it up to stock gags, man. They got everything on there, including La Boo Boo's.

Yep.

All right. Well, thank you for the call. I appreciate it, Hannah.

No problem. All right. Bye.

I appreciate it. What did that guy's kid call him? The daughter.

La Boo Boo's. La Boo Boo's.
