00:00:00
Hey, so I recently learned about
00:00:03
Badooies and Laboos, and now I've
00:00:07
learned about Dubai chocolate and laboo
00:00:10
together.
00:00:10
The way you said Dubai even sounded like
00:00:12
a Baoobie.
00:00:14
Baooie Dubai.
00:00:16
Yeah, it's like very like Bill Cosby.
00:00:22
Um, yeah. So what? This is Dubai
00:00:25
chocolate laboos, which is so many
00:00:27
internet buzzwords cup.
00:00:30
So is there a real laboo inside that
00:00:32
chocolate shell?
00:00:32
No, it's in the shape of a
00:00:34
My laboo's ears broke. My lab boooo has
00:00:37
a boo boo.
00:00:41
So this is this is Dubai chocolate
00:00:42
though, right?
00:00:43
I was going to say I didn't think so
00:00:44
until I saw the broken ears and it is.
00:00:46
Okay. And this is like the [ __ ] Those
00:00:49
of us who aren't up to date on our
00:00:51
losers before we call them and skip and
00:00:55
all that, what is all the words that
00:00:57
you're saying?
00:00:57
Batman was born at the wrong time.
00:00:59
Yeah. What are all the words?
00:01:00
Dubai chocolate is chocolate from Dubai.
00:01:03
It has pistachios in it and Tik Tok got
00:01:06
a hold of it and went ballistic. Right.
00:01:09
I think that's the origin.
00:01:10
It's like the shredded
00:01:12
coconut pistachio mix.
00:01:14
There's a word for it. Would you say,
00:01:15
isn't it,
00:01:15
P? I I don't know how to say the word,
00:01:17
but it's pho dough, which is the same.
00:01:19
Oh, yeah. Flo shredded.
00:01:21
Baklava from But it's like little shards
00:01:24
of it.
00:01:24
Yeah. And it's shredded. And they fill
00:01:26
the chocolate. Like if I break break his
00:01:29
head.
00:01:29
Yeah. Give a cross-section.
00:01:30
See, but they're like you can buy I
00:01:34
don't know how much these were. We'll
00:01:36
have to ask. But you can buy a bar like
00:01:37
this for like 20 bucks. It's so [ __ ]
00:01:39
expensive.
00:01:40
Holy [ __ ]
00:01:41
Really expensive. I think both of those
00:01:42
are $50.
00:01:44
50. Those were 15 each. And
00:01:48
then we got like a bunch. We got some
00:01:50
more for the crew to try.
00:01:52
$8 each for just
00:01:54
This is $8.
00:01:55
Is anyone in this room into the whole
00:01:57
laboo thing?
00:01:58
No. I think Laboos are stupid.
00:01:59
I collect troll dolls and burpies. Like
00:02:01
I should.
00:02:03
All right. So, I'm going to start by
00:02:05
trying the labu.
00:02:05
Yeah, I'll try him as well.
00:02:13
Well,
00:02:15
I don't love that.
00:02:16
You don't love it?
00:02:17
I do not.
00:02:18
I think it's I don't love it. It's just
00:02:20
chocolate.
00:02:21
It is.
00:02:22
No, it's Dubai chocolate.
00:02:24
You know what this tastes like?
00:02:26
Do you remember on Halloween when you
00:02:28
would get the um what were like the
00:02:30
crunchy chocolate? I
00:02:31
was going to say the blue crunch part.
00:02:33
Crunch. Was going to say this tastes
00:02:35
exactly like a crunch bar.
00:02:37
It is exactly like it. It's not even It
00:02:39
doesn't taste any different at all.
00:02:41
You don't taste the pistachio?
00:02:42
Uh-uh.
00:02:43
Try maybe the actual
00:02:45
drizzle.
00:02:46
I Another soap box for me to hop on real
00:02:49
quick. I hate um what's what's it called
00:02:53
when you're just getting excess like I
00:02:55
hate the whole excess thing that's been
00:02:58
happening now. Like this. You can't even
00:03:00
[ __ ] eat it. You're going to spill
00:03:01
it.
00:03:02
Like the like the milkshakes that have
00:03:03
like a whole slice of cake on top and
00:03:05
all.
00:03:05
That [ __ ] makes me so mad. I don't know
00:03:07
what that's for.
00:03:08
It's just for That's the dessert alarm.
00:03:11
It's going off.
00:03:12
Oh my god. Yeah, it's excess for the
00:03:14
sake of excess. When you're like, why?
00:03:16
Just charge me half and give me half and
00:03:18
I'll be happier. So, I'm going to take
00:03:20
out the strawberries.
00:03:24
I'm going to eat it as is.
00:03:25
Oh, it's all strawberries.
00:03:26
I'll try one for science.
00:03:28
I thought it was like a milkshake.
00:03:31
Damn it. What's that? Like, it's all
00:03:33
Oops. All berries.
00:03:36
Yeah. So, this is chocolatecovered
00:03:38
strawberries with the Dubai pistachio
00:03:40
stuff on it.
00:03:42
I mean, I like it better than the
00:03:43
strawberry.
00:03:44
I don't like strawberries.
00:03:46
Really?
00:03:46
I don't. No.
00:03:48
The texture thing.
00:03:51
I actually vehemently hate.
00:03:53
I thought you also were I thought you
00:03:54
both shared that opinion.
00:03:55
No, I hate cherries. M
00:03:57
um
00:04:01
I mean I like it more just cuz I like
00:04:03
strawberries, but it really does just
00:04:05
taste like those Halloween crunch bars.
00:04:07
One to one.
00:04:09
So I've had take a bite that
00:04:11
a Dubai chocolate.
00:04:13
Take
00:04:15
What did I have? I had Dubai chocolate
00:04:17
something and the pistachio was much
00:04:20
stronger.
00:04:21
Um
00:04:21
I'm getting a little of the pistachio
00:04:23
but it's not. It's It's like very very
00:04:25
little. Especially for how like reptar
00:04:27
green this looks. I thought it'd be like
00:04:29
overwhelming.
00:04:30
No. I Huh. I wonder if this is a bad
00:04:33
showing of the
00:04:35
I'm surprised it's all strawberries. I
00:04:36
thought it was going to be like a
00:04:37
milkshaky kind of
00:04:40
Maybe we should fly to Dubai.
00:04:43
Try it there.
00:04:43
Do you think they actually have
00:04:44
I was going to say Dubai chocolate an
00:04:46
actual Dubai thing or is that just
00:04:48
This feels like a suburbia like America
00:04:51
thing that's like oh Dubai chocolate.
00:04:54
Chinese food.
00:04:54
Yeah, they don't eat.
00:04:57
Not actually anything like Chinese food.
00:05:00
But I saw there's there's a new one
00:05:02
coming out that
00:05:05
new Dubai chocolate
00:05:06
kind of. It's they're selling.
00:05:08
Yeah. Dubai just dropped more chocolate.
00:05:12
It's like pink and purple inside. It
00:05:15
It's looking like It looks like cotton
00:05:17
candy almost on the inside. I think
00:05:19
people are just stuffing [ __ ] in
00:05:20
chocolate and I don't like it. I think
00:05:22
it's this is the next iteration of
00:05:25
something that is visually interesting
00:05:27
for social media that the thought behind
00:05:30
what it
00:05:30
rolled ice cream and that kind of thing.
00:05:32
Like nothing.
00:05:33
No, I went somewhere and had this. The
00:05:36
pistachio was stronger there. It was
00:05:39
fine then. Um it was just meh.
00:05:43
It's like okay.
00:05:45
Yeah. I mean if you like chocolate
00:05:46
strawberries, you'll like it.
00:05:48
But for the price you pay, it's I think
00:05:50
way too much. I completely agree.
00:05:52
Is it like across the board like super
00:05:53
expensive or was just this?
00:05:55
I was in the grocery store the other day
00:05:57
and this is how I saw the pink and
00:05:59
purple one and they have they were like
00:06:01
this big next to the register and it was
00:06:03
$18 for a crazy.
00:06:06
I actually asked the cashier. I was
00:06:09
like, "Have you tried the $18
00:06:11
chocolate?" And he was like, "I don't
00:06:13
like chocolate at all, but my girlfriend
00:06:15
had it and said it's fine." And I was
00:06:16
like, "Okay,
00:06:19
I'm just fishing the strawberries out of
00:06:20
the chocolate. I like them a lot more."
00:06:23
I'm going to move back onto the labu.
00:06:26
I'm going to get a little more pistachio
00:06:28
crema.
00:06:30
Put it on my labu.
00:06:31
Good idea.
00:06:32
Are you guys going to start collecting
00:06:34
labus now?
00:06:35
I don't think you can get them anymore.
00:06:37
Yeah. Not only are they hard to get, but
00:06:39
I also just don't even like the joke of
00:06:41
it. I
00:06:42
So, is it a joke? Is it like a sort of
00:06:44
ironic kind of thing?
00:06:46
People like love flip
00:06:48
cuz they're main hot take. They're not
00:06:50
like cute. They're kind of weird.
00:06:52
That's the point though.
00:06:53
Yeah. Okay.
00:06:54
So, this this whole wave of like
00:06:56
collectible plush toys is kind of
00:06:58
popping.
00:06:59
Do you guys know um farticles? Not
00:07:01
farticles.
00:07:02
We all farticles.
00:07:04
Oh my god. What are they called? I just
00:07:06
learned about them. They're supposed to
00:07:06
be ugly. Hold on. Oh, look at ugly the
00:07:10
boo boo. Maybe
00:07:12
they have the lafu.
00:07:13
No, no, no, no. I think I bought a lafu.
00:07:16
What is a lafufu?
00:07:17
Yeah, they're fake lofu.
00:07:18
Oh, I see.
00:07:19
And they're supposed to be uglier or
00:07:20
something.
00:07:20
Oh, I
00:07:23
I'm going to get the second 24 karat
00:07:25
gold one this time.
00:07:27
24 karat gold. Laboom.
00:07:29
Amazing post. People were like giving
00:07:31
their labels.
00:07:33
That's so good.
00:07:34
I don't like them. the boobles.
00:07:39
With like more stuffing really funny,
00:07:42
this little boo boo has a fat ass.
00:07:45
This is making me so mad cuz there's a
00:07:47
lot of these. Like I when I went through
00:07:48
the rabbit hole on stream, there's so
00:07:50
many of these like plush toy
00:07:52
collectibles. One of them is just like
00:07:53
naked kids. It's really [ __ ]
00:07:55
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do you know it's [ __ ]
00:07:58
weird.
00:07:58
Yeah. This is a huge market now.
00:08:00
Those have been around for a bit longer.
00:08:03
Fugler. They're called fuglers.
00:08:05
Wait, bugler? Yeah, they called
00:08:07
Oh, that's the fugler. I barely know
00:08:09
her.
00:08:10
Oh, Spongebob collab.
00:08:12
Yeah, here they did a Spongebob fugler
00:08:14
collab. Hold on.
00:08:17
Look at that.
00:08:18
How do I How do I zoom it in?
00:08:21
Let me try.
00:08:24
Oh, wow. That is something.
00:08:26
And then they got a Patrick Fuggle.
00:08:28
It looks like the uh the rabbit face.
00:08:31
Oh, yeah.
00:08:31
Yeah.
00:08:32
Yeah. Those have also been around for a
00:08:33
long I back in my day you you'd collect
00:08:36
some cards. Okay, stop collecting lab.
00:08:40
Do they
00:08:40
do they come with cards?
00:08:41
Fuglers.
00:08:42
I'm I'm into fuglers now.
00:08:44
I don't think they got
00:08:44
You said my magic word. I don't know if
00:08:46
they've got me.
00:08:48
Oh [ __ ]
00:08:49
Throw the labu out. He just the card.
00:08:51
Can you imagine the Magic the Gathering
00:08:53
laboo secret layer? Oh, [ __ ] me. That'd
00:08:56
go nuts. The universe beyond troubles.
00:08:59
God, it's crazy. Um
00:09:03
Yeah, I I took a few more bites while
00:09:05
we've been talking as I tend to do. I
00:09:08
taste no pistachio.
00:09:09
I don't either. The chocolate is it's
00:09:11
fine. Like I don't hate it. I don't love
00:09:13
it. I would not pay $8 for it.
00:09:16
15
00:09:17
or $15, right?
00:09:18
There are way better things you can do
00:09:20
with $15 than this probably.
00:09:22
Yeah. Even just looking up Dubai
00:09:24
chocolate, it literally just talks about
00:09:26
how in 2024 it kind of just spawned from
00:09:30
Tik Tok. I don't even know if this was
00:09:31
even popular in Dubai. dog. I I went
00:09:33
into Barnes & Noble the other day and I
00:09:36
was like, "All right, I'm going to find
00:09:37
a book." And every book I picked up when
00:09:39
I looked online because now I have to
00:09:41
see whether it's a a book talk book or
00:09:44
not.
00:09:44
And all of it is. And every single thing
00:09:46
is like this one only has two spicy
00:09:49
scenes in it. I'm like, I just want to
00:09:50
read a [ __ ] book.
00:09:51
It is. It is crazy how in sync we are. I
00:09:54
actually just went to Barnes & Noble
00:09:56
invite me to buy to buy uh romance
00:09:58
novels cuz I'm trying to find like
00:10:00
He's looking for the book top. looking
00:10:01
for them.
00:10:02
I think we have him. His name is He's an
00:10:04
international bestselling author named
00:10:06
Quan Mills.
00:10:07
Oh, you're on the Quan Mills train.
00:10:09
Oh, boy.
00:10:10
She has books.
00:10:11
I bought one from a Tik Tok ad. It was
00:10:13
this
00:10:15
hes got roaches in the fridge.
00:10:18
It was like it was him and it was like
00:10:21
if you buy it now cuz like when Tik Tok
00:10:23
was going away, he's like I'm sending
00:10:24
signed copies to everybody so I get this
00:10:26
like signed copy of this book and it's
00:10:28
just ridiculous. The cover is crazy. And
00:10:31
then I look him up and he's got like 200
00:10:34
titles.
00:10:35
Quan Mills is This generation's Chuck
00:10:37
Tingle. If you know Chuck Tingle.
00:10:39
Um I think Andrew's got a good book you
00:10:41
should try. It's called There is Seaman
00:10:43
on My Poop Deck.
00:10:43
Yeah, Sean.
00:10:44
Is that not Chuck Tingle? It sounds
00:10:46
No, no, that was a random guy in costume
00:10:49
at the Renaissance Fair.
00:10:52
It's a gay romance novel. Very steamy.
00:10:56
book talk with
00:10:57
five five red peppers out of five red
00:10:59
peppers.
00:11:00
That's a good readads original.
00:11:03
Yeah, back back to the original point.
00:11:05
Yeah, back to Labou.
00:11:06
Also, the book the book I got was a The
00:11:09
Haunting of Adelaide. If any of you have
00:11:11
heard of it, I'm four chapters deep.
00:11:13
It's [ __ ] weird.
00:11:14
So, why are you reading book talk
00:11:16
romance novels?
00:11:17
I want to see what all the hype's about.
00:11:19
Have you read the big ones?
00:11:20
Yeah, I'll read the big ones with you if
00:11:22
you I've read the first of the big ones
00:11:24
because my significant other is into the
00:11:27
book talk thing.
00:11:28
Let's call it what it is. Your
00:11:30
significant other is fairies and elves.
00:11:32
She's in a fairy.
00:11:33
Um,
00:11:35
vampires.
00:11:36
She's a good girl.
00:11:38
I want to go home.
00:11:39
This shouldn't go in the video. Anyway,
00:11:43
it's uh it's fine. It's not really
00:11:47
They're not as steamy as you think.
00:11:49
Yeah, they're not as steamy as you think
00:11:50
they are. And also it's just have you
00:11:52
read like Aragon?
00:11:54
Mhm. Long long.
00:11:55
It's basically the cover for your ears.
00:11:58
The bad version of that. Like it's not
00:12:00
that is my thing is all of these books
00:12:03
that are getting big.
00:12:04
I'm not saying the authors are
00:12:07
unskilled. It's just a level of writing.
00:12:10
Exactly.
00:12:12
They know what they're doing for sure.
00:12:14
It's just [ __ ] writing. Like it's just
00:12:16
pandering.
00:12:18
It's pretty good though. Honestly,
00:12:22
you should try Avatar cuz I the fifth
00:12:24
book. I'm happy.
00:12:24
We should do a book a month club
00:12:28
where you two both read a a romance book
00:12:31
and then we'll sit here and we'll talk
00:12:32
about it where the audience can read
00:12:34
along with me.
00:12:35
The song of Achilles. Was that a book
00:12:37
talk book? Because that one slash great
00:12:39
writer. It took her 10 minutes.
00:12:40
I think that's an that's like a
00:12:41
bestseller.
00:12:42
The song of Achilles.
00:12:43
There's a there's a spicy scene. Hunting
00:12:45
of Adelaide was like
00:12:47
it is a book that seems like it is
00:12:49
written solely for people that can't
00:12:51
read and want erotica.
00:12:54
All right. So, you said you're a few
00:12:55
chapters in.
00:12:56
I'm four chapters. It's
00:12:57
Do you want to start with that? I will
00:12:58
go pick up the book tonight.
00:13:00
It's 604 pages.
00:13:03
Why? Why? Wait, the other ones are
00:13:05
smaller.
00:13:06
So, what drew you to that specific?
00:13:08
I was in this section and someone
00:13:10
actually like asked if I was looking for
00:13:12
something. And I was like, "Yeah, I'm
00:13:12
kind of just looking for like a really
00:13:14
odd romance."
00:13:16
Okay.
00:13:16
And they're like, "Well, someone
00:13:18
recommended this to me and pulled out
00:13:20
The Haunting of Adelaide Saga Chapter 1
00:13:22
or something."
00:13:23
Oh, so there's more.
00:13:24
Yeah. Interesting. She was like, "Uh, a
00:13:26
friend of mine loved this. I started it.
00:13:29
I hated it. I couldn't finish it, but I
00:13:31
mean, it's weird. So maybe it's what
00:13:32
you're looking for." I was like,
00:13:34
we could start with that.
00:13:36
We should start with the big one.
00:13:37
I'm not on Tik Tok, so therefore I'm not
00:13:40
on book talk. I imagine it's mainly
00:13:43
targeted toward women.
00:13:44
It is.
00:13:45
We should start the male rating system
00:13:47
for
00:13:48
for women.
00:13:49
14 mentions.
00:13:51
It's three three boners out of five or
00:13:53
something like that.
00:13:54
I think that's
00:13:56
that goes hard. Yo,
00:13:58
all the spicy scenes in the Song of
00:13:59
Achilles, gay spicy scenes.
00:14:02
Four bars out of five if that's what
00:14:03
you're into.
00:14:04
So far, the spicy scenes in this one are
00:14:06
like uh they they don't they haven't
00:14:09
happened yet. So, like in the opening
00:14:10
scene, she's like, "I was standing there
00:14:12
and I saw a weird man outside and my
00:14:14
nipples were poking out my shirt."
00:14:16
Oh, no.
00:14:17
And I couldn't help
00:14:19
pedantic writing.
00:14:20
I couldn't help but feel the danger and
00:14:22
the thrill as my rock hard [ __ ] nips
00:14:25
in my in their cotton in his shirt. Now
00:14:29
I'm a pirate.
00:14:30
They're seaming on me, poop.
00:14:35
All right. Wait. I love this idea. We
00:14:36
should We should do book club. I'm happy
00:14:39
to do that one.
00:14:42
We'll do it over dessert.
00:14:43
We'll do a cute little setup where we
00:14:45
It's like the show Wine About It. We'll
00:14:47
we'll like sit on the couch and talk
00:14:49
about our spicy romance novels. I've
00:14:51
been going through like circling my
00:14:53
favorite parts of the book. And uh the
00:14:55
in chapter 3, it took a crazy turn.
00:14:58
We're following a
00:14:59
You're only in chapter three and it
00:15:01
turned crazy.
00:15:01
Yeah. We we switched perspectives from
00:15:04
her. She was trying to get like a dick
00:15:05
call, but the guy got mad, so he punched
00:15:08
a hole in her wall. And then it switches
00:15:09
perspective to this guy who was
00:15:11
torturing a man. He's like, "So I took I
00:15:14
took me knife.
00:15:17
I took me knife and I dangled it in
00:15:19
front of his eyeball and then I got the
00:15:22
information about the ritual and I
00:15:24
jabbed it into his eye."
00:15:26
We see the reverse point of view of the
00:15:28
girl from before. He's like, "Man, her
00:15:29
nipples are really,
00:15:32
you know, chapter five is that guy. I
00:15:34
stood in her lawn. Her nipples poked
00:15:35
through her shirts.
00:15:37
It's It's
00:15:38
She looked uncomfortable.
00:15:39
I I've been I've been giggling. It's
00:15:40
been actually helping me sleep. That's
00:15:42
the whole reason I did it as I books to
00:15:44
try and get sleepy.
00:15:45
All right. Well, I'm happy to do that
00:15:46
one. But we should do What is the one?
00:15:48
What's
00:15:50
Yeah, we should do that one cuz that
00:15:52
I'll pick up two copies tonight. I'll
00:15:54

00:16:04

00:16:05
That's what it feels like is it's all
00:16:06

00:16:08
Yeah, it kind of is.
00:16:09
And I like reading fantasy and you go to
00:16:13
the fantasy section and it's like would
00:16:15

00:16:18
like like King with a sword." And it's
00:16:19
like sex.
00:16:20
Oh, he's got a sword.
00:16:22
All
00:16:24
