that witch doesn’t kill you: Haunted Dolls

Reese and Jacob cross the globe to bring us spooky Ooky tales of haunted dolls from Annabelle and Chucky to Robert the Doll, Okiku, and the Island of Dolls. The two discuss the uncanny valley, accidentally drag Barbie, get an AI tarot reading, and tell Mabel the Podcast Dog that she’s the goodest girl.

Alrighty.

00:00:15.000 –> 00:00:18.800
Hi friends, I’m Jacob and that’s Reese and this is That Which Doesn’t Kill You.

00:00:18.800 –> 00:00:24.720
A podcast where we speak about pop culture and dreadful things and each episode we end with,

00:00:24.720 –> 00:00:30.560
Nope. And end each episode by setting some… What? Did I even write this?

00:00:30.560 –> 00:00:36.000
Let’s try that again. Oh, okay. I understand.

00:00:36.000 –> 00:00:43.120
Hi, friends. I’m Jacob and that’s Reese. And this is That Which Doesn’t Kill You,

00:00:43.120 –> 00:00:46.240
a podcast where we speak about pop culture and dreadful things,

00:00:46.240 –> 00:00:50.240
and end each episode by setting some intentions for the following week.

00:00:50.800 –> 00:00:57.360
Today we’re talking about dolls. If you have any questions, comments or random thoughts you’d like

00:00:57.360 –> 00:01:02.480
us to start a future episode with, send us a DM on Instagram at Argonauts.tube.

00:01:02.480 –> 00:01:10.880
Yay. One other thing that we started last season that was kind of fun. We might as well,

00:01:10.880 –> 00:01:16.320
or not last season, but when we did the New Year episode is we like chose a tarot card.

00:01:17.120 –> 00:01:23.360
And so, as you know, I’ve been playing with some AI things lately.

00:01:23.360 –> 00:01:25.120
Yes, you’ve been very into that.

00:01:25.120 –> 00:01:32.080
It’s in the zeitgeist. So I was like, I might as well. And so I actually had an AI choose our card

00:01:32.080 –> 00:01:39.120
for us today. And we drew the four of cups, which represents disappointment or boredom with the

00:01:39.120 –> 00:01:45.200
status quo. It suggests that the querent may be feeling unfulfilled or dissatisfied with their

00:01:45.200 –> 00:01:49.440
current situation and may be searching for something more meaningful. It also advises

00:01:49.440 –> 00:01:53.680
the querent to consider their options carefully and not make any rash decisions.

00:01:53.680 –> 00:01:57.440
I feel like this is directly talking about my issues with my car.

00:01:57.440 –> 00:02:01.760
That does sound right. You are unfulfilled and dissatisfied.

00:02:01.760 –> 00:02:08.960
I am so upset with car stuff right now. That is personal Reese things.

00:02:08.960 –> 00:02:10.560
Damn it, personal Reese.

00:02:10.560 –> 00:02:11.680
I need a new car.

00:02:14.560 –> 00:02:16.360
So that feels relevant.

00:02:16.360 –> 00:02:17.200
– Okay, okay.

00:02:17.200 –> 00:02:18.400
– To me, what about you?

00:02:18.400 –> 00:02:25.160
– I don’t think it’s necessarily,

00:02:25.160 –> 00:02:27.400
yeah, this definitely feels like a you and not a me.

00:02:27.400 –> 00:02:29.560
I feel like I’ve been doing pretty good.

00:02:29.560 –> 00:02:32.320
– You’re like, my car runs fine.

00:02:32.320 –> 00:02:33.600
– My car is great.

00:02:33.600 –> 00:02:34.440
– My car?

00:02:34.440 –> 00:02:36.680
Brunhild, she’s fine.

00:02:36.680 –> 00:02:38.080
– Brunhild’s fine.

00:02:38.080 –> 00:02:40.400
I’m very sorry that you’re having issues though,

00:02:40.400 –> 00:02:41.500
that’s never fun.

00:02:43.680 –> 00:02:48.320
– Oh well, car shopping is kind of exciting in its own way.

00:02:48.320 –> 00:02:50.880
– Yeah, that’s the spirit.

00:02:50.880 –> 00:02:52.480
I love that positive spin.

00:02:52.480 –> 00:02:54.440
– I was being very positive

00:02:54.440 –> 00:02:56.280
after the hectic day I had yesterday

00:02:56.280 –> 00:02:58.520
and I still went to go see my show

00:02:58.520 –> 00:03:00.640
and I still had a great time.

00:03:00.640 –> 00:03:02.420
– Yes, and it was at the Apollo?

00:03:02.420 –> 00:03:04.540
– What, no.

00:03:04.540 –> 00:03:07.020
(laughing)

00:03:07.020 –> 00:03:09.600
I went all the way to the Apollo.

00:03:09.600 –> 00:03:11.040
Is that place still open?

00:03:11.040 –> 00:03:13.040
– I’m sure it is.

00:03:13.040 –> 00:03:17.040
Isn’t that where like super really famous people have played?

00:03:17.040 –> 00:03:19.320
– Are you saying that the people you like

00:03:19.320 –> 00:03:20.520
aren’t super famous?

00:03:20.520 –> 00:03:22.160
– No, he’s not super famous.

00:03:22.160 –> 00:03:24.120
– Oh, him specifically.

00:03:24.120 –> 00:03:25.840
K-pop’s pretty popular.

00:03:25.840 –> 00:03:27.440
– I don’t think he’s considered K-pop.

00:03:27.440 –> 00:03:28.720
– Oh, I just assumed.

00:03:28.720 –> 00:03:30.240
– Oh no.

00:03:30.240 –> 00:03:31.580
– What does he make?

00:03:31.580 –> 00:03:35.880
– It’s just like an indie music guitarist.

00:03:35.880 –> 00:03:38.120
He’s like from LA, but his parents are Vietnamese.

00:03:38.120 –> 00:03:39.480
– Oh.

00:03:39.480 –> 00:03:40.360
– His name is Keshi.

00:03:40.360 –> 00:03:42.840
– Damn, I was accidentally racist.

00:03:42.840 –> 00:03:44.840
I was just making fun of you and I accidentally

00:03:44.840 –> 00:03:48.260
Call the Vietnamese person keep this in

00:03:48.260 –> 00:03:52.960
My bad

00:03:52.960 –> 00:03:54.480
exposed

00:03:54.480 –> 00:03:59.240
No, but I had a great time yesterday and even how hectic it was. So yeah, I was glad

00:03:59.240 –> 00:04:02.000
okay, so

00:04:02.000 –> 00:04:04.520
Dolls

00:04:04.520 –> 00:04:10.100
They’ve been making them for long ass time. Yes. Okay. Okay. I’m with you

00:04:12.600 –> 00:04:15.200
realistic looking ones.

00:04:15.200 –> 00:04:18.120
Personally, my sister was a big fan

00:04:18.120 –> 00:04:19.680
of the realistic looking ones.

00:04:19.680 –> 00:04:21.100
– Yikes.

00:04:21.100 –> 00:04:21.940
There’s that–

00:04:21.940 –> 00:04:24.080
– She had a bunch in her room,

00:04:24.080 –> 00:04:25.920
and when I would stay in her room,

00:04:25.920 –> 00:04:31.880
I would sleep on the floor next to the bed,

00:04:31.880 –> 00:04:34.760
and I would make sure it was nowhere

00:04:34.760 –> 00:04:36.640
within viewing of the dolls.

00:04:36.640 –> 00:04:38.160
Like, I just didn’t wanna see them.

00:04:38.160 –> 00:04:40.440
But she loved her piles of dolls.

00:04:40.440 –> 00:04:42.040
I don’t know where they are now.

00:04:42.040 –> 00:04:43.540
-I don’t want to know. -That’s fair.

00:04:43.540 –> 00:04:48.040
So, dolls,

00:04:48.040 –> 00:04:51.420
yes, they’ve always seemed pretty creepy to me.

00:04:51.420 –> 00:04:52.840
And when I was younger,

00:04:52.840 –> 00:04:54.920
that Goosebumps,

00:04:54.920 –> 00:04:57.220
that dummy.

00:04:57.220 –> 00:04:59.220
-Yes. -That really creeped me out.

00:04:59.220 –> 00:05:01.640
-Dummy is another one that’s– -Yes.

00:05:01.640 –> 00:05:03.640
-It’s something about– -Ventriloquist.

00:05:03.640 –> 00:05:04.800
-Yes. -That’s really–

00:05:04.800 –> 00:05:06.980
It’s something about– And they’re 3D.

00:05:06.980 –> 00:05:09.520
You know, there’s that trope of like,

00:05:10.140 –> 00:05:13.640
like paintings where the eyes follow you and stuff.

00:05:13.640 –> 00:05:14.480
– Oh yeah.

00:05:14.480 –> 00:05:17.780
– But a 2D image can only be so realistic looking.

00:05:17.780 –> 00:05:20.940
– It’s like a really intricate glass-eyed doll.

00:05:20.940 –> 00:05:24.260
– Right, I’m like, no, the amount of effort put in

00:05:24.260 –> 00:05:26.460
to make you look as real as possible,

00:05:26.460 –> 00:05:30.540
but then you still know it’s not, though.

00:05:30.540 –> 00:05:33.020
– Looking at them and they look like they could blink

00:05:33.020 –> 00:05:35.620
or say anything at any moment, that’s terrifying.

00:05:35.620 –> 00:05:36.500
It’s terrifying.

00:05:36.500 –> 00:05:38.740
I always thought that, even when I was a kid.

00:05:38.740 –> 00:05:42.700
You, um, you collect any dolls growing up?

00:05:42.700 –> 00:05:45.180
No, I was.

00:05:45.180 –> 00:05:46.780
I definitely had some stuffed animals.

00:05:46.780 –> 00:05:48.580
I had, um.

00:05:48.580 –> 00:05:50.540
I was never a doll person.

00:05:50.540 –> 00:05:51.900
I wasn’t really a doll person.

00:05:51.900 –> 00:05:56.420
I’m trying to think of, I mean, I had some like Batman’s, you know, um.

00:05:56.420 –> 00:05:57.300
Those are dolls, right?

00:05:57.300 –> 00:05:59.700
I mean, let’s be real.

00:05:59.700 –> 00:06:01.380
Action figures are dolls.

00:06:01.380 –> 00:06:05.060
We don’t have to name them something different so that boys will like them.

00:06:05.060 –> 00:06:05.820
Action.

00:06:06.420 –> 00:06:09.200
I’m like, and who’s saying Barbie’s not getting some action?

00:06:09.200 –> 00:06:11.500
Okay, that came out wrong.

00:06:11.500 –> 00:06:13.940
I heard it once I said it, I’m sorry.

00:06:13.940 –> 00:06:15.940
– I’m going on a face journey right now.

00:06:15.940 –> 00:06:17.780
What was that?

00:06:17.780 –> 00:06:19.740
– My phone, how dare it?

00:06:19.740 –> 00:06:24.740
– So you played with?

00:06:24.740 –> 00:06:25.580
– Yeah, I definitely had some fun with it.

00:06:25.580 –> 00:06:27.780
I definitely was more of a stuffed animal kid.

00:06:27.780 –> 00:06:30.860
But I think– – I know I always liked

00:06:30.860 –> 00:06:31.680
my plushies.

00:06:31.680 –> 00:06:33.020
– I think, yeah, yeah.

00:06:33.020 –> 00:06:35.780
Like I think I’ve always been a little like,

00:06:35.780 –> 00:06:37.380
– No, I don’t like that.

00:06:37.380 –> 00:06:39.140
Like, that’s a little creepy.

00:06:39.140 –> 00:06:43.380
Anything that’s like humanoid, but like not a human.

00:06:43.380 –> 00:06:44.900
Don’t trust it. – Well, and you–

00:06:44.900 –> 00:06:45.760
– I mean, clowns.

00:06:45.760 –> 00:06:47.780
– Another thing I didn’t like growing up,

00:06:47.780 –> 00:06:50.340
I never watched the Chucky movies

00:06:50.340 –> 00:06:52.180
because that really scared me.

00:06:52.180 –> 00:06:54.020
You like that now.

00:06:54.020 –> 00:06:54.860
– Yeah.

00:06:54.860 –> 00:06:57.180
I never, so I used to think Chucky was stupid.

00:06:57.180 –> 00:06:59.700
Like, I never, ’cause I didn’t know anything about it.

00:06:59.700 –> 00:07:01.460
And it was the kind of thing where like the movies,

00:07:01.460 –> 00:07:04.260
the horror movies that I was watching when I was younger

00:07:04.260 –> 00:07:08.140
were not Chucky.

00:07:08.140 –> 00:07:08.980
– Not that, yeah.

00:07:08.980 –> 00:07:13.080
– And Chucky is like a very specific kind of like humor.

00:07:13.080 –> 00:07:15.640
Whereas–

00:07:15.640 –> 00:07:17.000
– I never thought it would be,

00:07:17.000 –> 00:07:19.000
it makes sense when I think about it,

00:07:19.000 –> 00:07:20.240
but it didn’t occur to me that, yeah,

00:07:20.240 –> 00:07:22.280
that could be a humorous concept.

00:07:22.280 –> 00:07:25.000
– Yeah, it’s like a good like horror comedy.

00:07:25.000 –> 00:07:25.840
– Yes.

00:07:25.840 –> 00:07:28.520
– But back in the day, I mean, when I was like a child,

00:07:28.520 –> 00:07:31.360
child, I was watching classic horror kind of stuff

00:07:31.360 –> 00:07:33.160
like from like the 80s and 90s, but–

00:07:33.160 –> 00:07:34.900
You’re so sophisticated.

00:07:34.900 –> 00:07:39.000
– Are you dragging me right now?

00:07:39.000 –> 00:07:41.500
– (laughs) No!

00:07:41.500 –> 00:07:42.840
– I’m so confused.

00:07:42.840 –> 00:07:44.580
(both laughing)

00:07:44.580 –> 00:07:47.160
– My tone did seem like that, but I wasn’t.

00:07:47.160 –> 00:07:48.000
– I was very confused.

00:07:48.000 –> 00:07:48.820
– I wasn’t.

00:07:48.820 –> 00:07:51.660
– You’re so sophisticated.

00:07:51.660 –> 00:07:53.660
– That’s what you think, right?

00:07:53.660 –> 00:07:57.860
No, I didn’t start watching a lot of horror stuff

00:07:57.860 –> 00:08:00.960
until I was older, so what am I to say?

00:08:00.960 –> 00:08:01.800
– Yeah.

00:08:01.800 –> 00:08:04.520
– I was a dark little.

00:08:04.520 –> 00:08:07.480
– So you really, you like Chucky.

00:08:07.480 –> 00:08:08.800
– I do like Chucky now.

00:08:08.800 –> 00:08:10.400
I never really gave it a chance.

00:08:10.400 –> 00:08:12.820
And then I liked the TV show.

00:08:12.820 –> 00:08:14.560
And the only reason I watched the TV show

00:08:14.560 –> 00:08:16.160
was because I knew the main character was gay

00:08:16.160 –> 00:08:17.640
and I gotta support the gays.

00:08:17.640 –> 00:08:18.480
– Yes.

00:08:18.480 –> 00:08:20.400
– Even if the actors are straight.

00:08:20.400 –> 00:08:21.800
I still gotta support them.

00:08:21.800 –> 00:08:22.760
– Yes.

00:08:22.760 –> 00:08:27.760
– And the founder, not the founder, the founder.

00:08:27.760 –> 00:08:29.520
– The founding father.

00:08:29.520 –> 00:08:32.940
– The founding father of Chucky is gay.

00:08:32.940 –> 00:08:35.600
So he’s the one I really want.

00:08:35.600 –> 00:08:37.640
And he’s like, now he’s like the main director

00:08:37.640 –> 00:08:40.020
and he’s a showrunner and he’s always been

00:08:40.020 –> 00:08:40.920
like the main writer.

00:08:40.920 –> 00:08:44.420
And so I’ve always wanted to support him.

00:08:44.420 –> 00:08:47.960
Once I found out he was a homosexual,

00:08:47.960 –> 00:08:51.060
I was like, yeah, I wanna support that guy.

00:08:51.060 –> 00:08:52.300
And then I watched it and I was like,

00:08:52.300 –> 00:08:54.140
damn, yeah, this is pretty gay.

00:08:54.140 –> 00:08:55.980
– Well, when you talk about liking it,

00:08:55.980 –> 00:08:58.380
it makes me, it’s one of those things

00:08:58.380 –> 00:09:01.540
that I feel like I should watch one of these days

00:09:01.540 –> 00:09:04.860
just ’cause I was so afraid of it as a kid,

00:09:04.860 –> 00:09:07.220
but I’m obviously, I don’t think that way anymore.

00:09:07.220 –> 00:09:09.460
And it seems like it would be really fun.

00:09:09.460 –> 00:09:11.140
And I really like fun horror. – That’s the thing is,

00:09:11.140 –> 00:09:12.900
when you can come to it as fun horror,

00:09:12.900 –> 00:09:14.200
it makes a lot more sense.

00:09:14.200 –> 00:09:18.420
– And I love that that’s basically a genre, fun horror.

00:09:18.420 –> 00:09:19.240
– Exactly.

00:09:19.240 –> 00:09:20.820
And you contrast that with something like “It,”

00:09:20.820 –> 00:09:24.500
where I used to be terrified of clowns,

00:09:24.500 –> 00:09:26.220
and that movie did not help.

00:09:26.220 –> 00:09:27.520
‘Cause even though he’s cracking jokes,

00:09:27.520 –> 00:09:32.400
like menacing jokes. It’s like if you’re like abuser is making jokes at you, it’s not gonna

00:09:32.400 –> 00:09:37.000
be funny to you. Yeah, you’re like, you know what? That was a banger joke probably, but

00:09:37.000 –> 00:09:42.080
I’m still afraid. Right. But if Chucky makes a joke at me, I’m like, you’re about to murder

00:09:42.080 –> 00:09:47.200
me but that was kind of funny. You’re a doll. There’s like, and you know, something about

00:09:47.200 –> 00:09:54.040
the fact that it’s like dolls are, I mean, for the most part, children’s toys. Yes. You

00:09:54.040 –> 00:09:54.880
You know what I mean?

00:09:54.880 –> 00:09:58.680
It gives that extra kind of like fear

00:09:58.680 –> 00:10:01.760
of like harming children specifically

00:10:01.760 –> 00:10:03.220
and or like being related.

00:10:03.220 –> 00:10:04.420
Children are creepy.

00:10:04.420 –> 00:10:06.100
– Yes, children are creepy on their own.

00:10:06.100 –> 00:10:08.200
– They be seeing shit, they be talking about shit.

00:10:08.200 –> 00:10:09.360
They be saying like,

00:10:09.360 –> 00:10:12.620
“Grandmother visited me last night from the astral plane.”

00:10:12.620 –> 00:10:13.460
And I’m like, “No.”

00:10:13.460 –> 00:10:15.400
– And I’m like, “You’re four, please stop.”

00:10:15.400 –> 00:10:16.440
– Stop it right now.

00:10:16.440 –> 00:10:22.280
– Another thing about like the history of dolls

00:10:22.280 –> 00:10:27.280
is that there is history of them being,

00:10:27.280 –> 00:10:31.920
I guess like conduits for energy.

00:10:31.920 –> 00:10:32.760
– Conduits is a good word.

00:10:32.760 –> 00:10:35.000
– And is that, did I use that word correctly?

00:10:35.000 –> 00:10:37.160
– Yeah, that was great, that was beautiful.

00:10:37.160 –> 00:10:41.080
– So if anything, it really solidified to me

00:10:41.080 –> 00:10:43.720
like how empty these vessels are

00:10:43.720 –> 00:10:46.200
that you can put energy in it

00:10:46.200 –> 00:10:50.120
and make it into something else.

00:10:50.120 –> 00:10:53.720
like those witch puppets you were talking about.

00:10:53.720 –> 00:10:57.660
Or even like voodoo dolls, things like that.

00:10:57.660 –> 00:11:04.920
And so in my mind when I read about these stories

00:11:04.920 –> 00:11:10.240
of dolls being haunted by something,

00:11:10.240 –> 00:11:12.360
I’m like that makes perfectly good sense.

00:11:12.360 –> 00:11:14.440
Because these things are empty

00:11:14.440 –> 00:11:16.400
and then you can put something in it.

00:11:16.400 –> 00:11:17.800
– It’s like a hermit crab.

00:11:17.800 –> 00:11:18.640
– Yeah.

00:11:18.640 –> 00:11:19.840
– Like a spiritual hermit crab.

00:11:19.840 –> 00:11:22.400
You’re just like, I’m crawling around.

00:11:22.400 –> 00:11:24.760
I gotta find a humanoid body.

00:11:24.760 –> 00:11:26.720
And this is the closest one I can find.

00:11:26.720 –> 00:11:28.480
– It’s got arms, it got legs.

00:11:28.480 –> 00:11:30.320
– It’s got a little face, raggedy,

00:11:30.320 –> 00:11:32.080
and she got those little blush marks.

00:11:32.080 –> 00:11:34.440
– Yes, I’m a blushing demon.

00:11:34.440 –> 00:11:35.580
– I’m jumping in there.

00:11:35.580 –> 00:11:37.820
(laughing)

00:11:37.820 –> 00:11:43.040
– Speaking of movies, I really liked

00:11:43.040 –> 00:11:45.240
when I was starting to get into horror more,

00:11:45.240 –> 00:11:48.760
the Conjuring movies and the Annabelle movies.

00:11:48.760 –> 00:11:58.840
watched all of those. Very scary, but just like fun. I know they’re like, you know, jump

00:11:58.840 –> 00:12:02.640
scare, you know, Hollywood movies.

00:12:02.640 –> 00:12:03.640
Which I think is fine.

00:12:03.640 –> 00:12:11.000
I was gonna say it is done. I mean, to my untrained eye when it came to horror at the

00:12:11.000 –> 00:12:17.240
time. It was fun. I loved it. I was like, oh my god. And then they made the Raggedy

00:12:17.240 –> 00:12:20.520
Raggedy Ann doll, because I think I remember talking about it with you. The Raggedy Ann

00:12:20.520 –> 00:12:27.640
doll was originally how Annabelle, how she looked, which is scary in itself. It’s a little

00:12:27.640 –> 00:12:32.240
button. It looks more innocent. And then they have like this.

00:12:32.240 –> 00:12:38.600
It’s got that like craftsman kind of like, oh, someone’s mother sewed this on the farm.

00:12:38.600 –> 00:12:42.920
Like there’s some extra, you know, yarn and a piece of cloth.

00:12:42.920 –> 00:12:46.240
Great depression, Dust Bowl aesthetic looking ass.

00:12:46.240 –> 00:12:49.160
– Yeah, depression core.

00:12:49.160 –> 00:12:53.480
Oh God, my legs.

00:12:53.480 –> 00:12:54.600
– You don’t have legs.

00:12:54.600 –> 00:12:56.240
– Oh, I have two legs.

00:12:56.240 –> 00:13:03.520
Okay, so one of the doll stories

00:13:03.520 –> 00:13:09.200
that I’d never heard of when we first looked this up

00:13:09.200 –> 00:13:12.060
was a doll named Okiku.

00:13:15.760 –> 00:13:23.440
The legend goes in the early 1900s, a girl named Okiku from Hokkaido was gifted a doll

00:13:23.440 –> 00:13:31.680
from her brother, Eikichi Suzuki. The doll was named Okiku because of the girl. That was her name.

00:13:31.680 –> 00:13:36.880
Sorry. I did not like that noise. I will be editing that out.

00:13:36.880 –> 00:13:40.880
I can’t do it again.

00:13:45.520 –> 00:13:50.880
So she was treating the doll like a, you know, a little sister. She was like feeding it.

00:13:50.880 –> 00:13:52.000
That she named after herself?

00:13:52.000 –> 00:13:56.960
And so I think they, it sounds to me that they named the doll after she…

00:13:56.960 –> 00:13:58.160
Oh, afterwards.

00:13:58.160 –> 00:13:58.880
Yes.

00:13:58.880 –> 00:13:59.200
Okay.

00:13:59.200 –> 00:14:02.480
Yeah, would you name a doll?

00:14:02.480 –> 00:14:04.160
I didn’t have a name before. Not Jacob.

00:14:04.160 –> 00:14:07.840
Your name’s not Batman.

00:14:07.840 –> 00:14:11.280
I actually used to call my Batman, Batman.

00:14:11.280 –> 00:14:12.080
Really?

00:14:12.080 –> 00:14:12.560
Go figure.

00:14:14.400 –> 00:14:15.400
Not Jacob.

00:14:15.400 –> 00:14:18.400
Wait, this is a this is a side

00:14:18.400 –> 00:14:19.760
note because we’re just everywhere.

00:14:19.760 –> 00:14:22.700
I was talking to Vivian yesterday

00:14:22.700 –> 00:14:24.560
about Barbies and we

00:14:24.560 –> 00:14:25.060
were talking.

00:14:25.060 –> 00:14:26.060
Dolls, not a side note.

00:14:26.060 –> 00:14:27.000
Or a good side note.

00:14:27.000 –> 00:14:28.000
Yes.

00:14:28.000 –> 00:14:29.940
Because we were talking about she

00:14:29.940 –> 00:14:31.420
said there was a particular

00:14:31.420 –> 00:14:33.920
like doll that she wanted

00:14:33.920 –> 00:14:36.320
that had like Gigi’s skin tone.

00:14:36.320 –> 00:14:37.720
Like she wants her to have these

00:14:37.720 –> 00:14:39.560
dolls that show because she

00:14:39.560 –> 00:14:41.080
she was telling me, I hope this is

00:14:41.080 –> 00:14:42.080
OK for me to talk about Vivian.

00:14:42.080 –> 00:14:44.080
I think it’s fine.

00:14:44.080 –> 00:14:46.240
– When she was growing up,

00:14:46.240 –> 00:14:48.760
she only had the white Barbie dolls.

00:14:48.760 –> 00:14:50.000
When I was growing up,

00:14:50.000 –> 00:14:53.900
when people would gift me a Barbie doll,

00:14:53.900 –> 00:14:56.480
there was a Hispanic one named Teresa.

00:14:56.480 –> 00:14:58.240
It was like one of Barbie’s friends.

00:14:58.240 –> 00:14:59.680
And I was just like, oh yeah.

00:14:59.680 –> 00:15:01.920
Like Vivian was telling me she didn’t know

00:15:01.920 –> 00:15:05.160
that there were other colors of Barbies.

00:15:05.160 –> 00:15:06.400
I’m like, I had Teresa.

00:15:06.400 –> 00:15:09.840
Teresa means Hispanic.

00:15:09.840 –> 00:15:11.040
– Everyone wants to be Barbie.

00:15:11.040 –> 00:15:13.000
So why can’t Barbie herself come

00:15:13.000 –> 00:15:14.880
and all the, all the, is that offensive?

00:15:14.880 –> 00:15:15.720
I don’t know.

00:15:15.720 –> 00:15:16.540
I’m like, ’cause that’s like the name one.

00:15:16.540 –> 00:15:17.380
– I liked Teresa.

00:15:17.380 –> 00:15:18.220
– You know what I mean?

00:15:18.220 –> 00:15:20.520
– She was the main one to me.

00:15:20.520 –> 00:15:22.200
I think it just depends on like how it’s–

00:15:22.200 –> 00:15:23.840
– I like that, yeah.

00:15:23.840 –> 00:15:26.720
– ‘Cause I didn’t have Barbie dolls or Ken’s.

00:15:26.720 –> 00:15:28.680
I had Teresa and, I don’t know,

00:15:28.680 –> 00:15:30.880
an action figure that they were married and beep, beep, beep.

00:15:30.880 –> 00:15:31.920
– What action figure?

00:15:31.920 –> 00:15:34.360
G.I. Joe.

00:15:34.360 –> 00:15:35.180
– I don’t remember.

00:15:35.180 –> 00:15:36.020
– Huh?

00:15:36.020 –> 00:15:36.960
– G.I. Joe.

00:15:36.960 –> 00:15:39.280
– No, I had one of those stretchy guys.

00:15:39.280 –> 00:15:42.680
– I did not have that.

00:15:42.680 –> 00:15:44.960
– I don’t know what that is. – What is it called?

00:15:44.960 –> 00:15:46.420
It was a stretchy man.

00:15:46.420 –> 00:15:47.260
– Oh.

00:15:47.260 –> 00:15:49.700
Tell me more.

00:15:49.700 –> 00:15:50.960
– No.

00:15:50.960 –> 00:15:52.180
I can’t remember what else.

00:15:52.180 –> 00:15:53.600
I remember I had lots of Theresa’s.

00:15:53.600 –> 00:15:58.600
It was Theresa and her like five clones, all named Theresa.

00:15:58.600 –> 00:16:01.420
– You had six different Theresa’s?

00:16:01.420 –> 00:16:03.180
– I had a bunch ’cause people would just

00:16:03.180 –> 00:16:05.140
buy me just the Theresa.

00:16:05.140 –> 00:16:06.180
– That’s fair.

00:16:06.180 –> 00:16:07.940
I did not have enough family members

00:16:07.940 –> 00:16:10.780
to be buying me multiples of toys, so.

00:16:10.780 –> 00:16:12.320
When I was younger, we were closer

00:16:12.320 –> 00:16:13.700
with my mom’s side of the family

00:16:13.700 –> 00:16:16.720
and I had way more aunts and uncles over there.

00:16:16.720 –> 00:16:19.660
All of the toys, even if they were all the same thing.

00:16:19.660 –> 00:16:21.380
Thank you.

00:16:21.380 –> 00:16:22.300
– Oh, that’s kind of cool though,

00:16:22.300 –> 00:16:24.120
’cause then if you like rip the hair off of one

00:16:24.120 –> 00:16:26.180
and make it like the scary dolls with the–

00:16:26.180 –> 00:16:27.760
– Yeah, thanks LA fam.

00:16:27.760 –> 00:16:35.140
So, I don’t know what Okiku called her doll.

00:16:39.220 –> 00:16:41.800
People called it Okiku after her passing.

00:16:41.800 –> 00:16:47.900
So she ended up dying very young due to malaria.

00:16:47.900 –> 00:16:53.940
And then it is said that the little girl

00:16:53.940 –> 00:16:58.380
died gasping for air in pain and afraid

00:16:58.380 –> 00:17:02.140
all the while holding her doll really tight.

00:17:02.140 –> 00:17:07.980
So they believe that because of that traumatic

00:17:07.980 –> 00:17:18.580
painful death that her spirit perhaps moved into this doll. And the most notable thing

00:17:18.580 –> 00:17:28.400
about this doll is that it’s allegedly its hair grows and that it is real human hair.

00:17:28.400 –> 00:17:37.400
And so it’s now at a temple in Japan where monks take care of it and actually cut its

00:17:37.400 –> 00:17:38.400
hair.

00:17:38.400 –> 00:17:39.400
I know.

00:17:39.400 –> 00:17:43.040
I don’t like it.

00:17:43.040 –> 00:17:49.140
Despite the fact that several scientists and skeptics have tried to explain the phenomenon

00:17:49.140 –> 00:17:53.080
of the doll’s hair growing, the legend continues to fascinate.

00:17:53.080 –> 00:17:55.960
Ooh, okay, fascinate.

00:17:55.960 –> 00:17:57.720
Fascinating.

00:17:57.720 –> 00:18:02.120
I feel like you would be able to scientifically prove

00:18:02.120 –> 00:18:07.120
if the hair is growing by just putting a camera on it.

00:18:07.120 –> 00:18:11.120
But in watching.

00:18:11.120 –> 00:18:17.120
So I wonder, I’m like, obviously then in that case,

00:18:17.120 –> 00:18:18.480
the monks would have to be complicit

00:18:18.480 –> 00:18:21.560
in keeping up the ruse if there’s a ruse going on.

00:18:21.560 –> 00:18:25.760
– Well, apparently the doll is still there to this day.

00:18:25.760 –> 00:18:27.280
And then, allegedly.

00:18:27.280 –> 00:18:29.760
– Is it like on display or is it like being hidden

00:18:29.760 –> 00:18:31.020
in a back room somewhere?

00:18:31.020 –> 00:18:35.520
– It’s more, from what I read, it’s more like,

00:18:35.520 –> 00:18:37.700
like you can go see it but they don’t want you

00:18:37.700 –> 00:18:39.600
to get close or touch it or like disturb it.

00:18:39.600 –> 00:18:40.800
– Convenient. – I know.

00:18:40.800 –> 00:18:46.880
But when I read that, I was thinking,

00:18:46.880 –> 00:18:52.760
weren’t probably most of the dolls in that time

00:18:54.260 –> 00:18:58.700
or even earlier, made from human hair.

00:18:58.700 –> 00:18:59.540
– That’s true.

00:18:59.540 –> 00:19:04.180
When was this again?

00:19:04.180 –> 00:19:06.500
– In the early 1900s.

00:19:06.500 –> 00:19:07.340
– Okay, okay.

00:19:07.340 –> 00:19:08.180
– I’m sure they did.

00:19:08.180 –> 00:19:11.700
Even if not human hair, maybe horse hair or something.

00:19:11.700 –> 00:19:15.360
So there’s people like, it’s real human hair.

00:19:15.360 –> 00:19:16.200
I’m like, hmm.

00:19:16.200 –> 00:19:19.180
– That’s a good point.

00:19:19.180 –> 00:19:21.840
– And that it’s also said that the doll,

00:19:21.840 –> 00:19:26.840
you know, move stuff around in the temple

00:19:26.840 –> 00:19:32.660
and causes people near it to have nightmares

00:19:32.660 –> 00:19:33.820
and things like that.

00:19:33.820 –> 00:19:37.940
That was one I definitely did not know about

00:19:37.940 –> 00:19:38.780
and I thought was very interesting.

00:19:38.780 –> 00:19:40.220
– Yeah, no, that is very interesting.

00:19:40.220 –> 00:19:43.820
And I do think, I believe like the nightmare thing

00:19:43.820 –> 00:19:44.860
’cause I think there’s like a bit

00:19:44.860 –> 00:19:46.660
of a power of suggestion thing.

00:19:46.660 –> 00:19:50.540
Did you ever watch “The Skeleton Key”?

00:19:51.540 –> 00:19:52.780
– No, but I know–

00:19:52.780 –> 00:19:56.180
– It wasn’t really like a big liked movie,

00:19:56.180 –> 00:19:59.060
but the kind of core concept is that magic only works

00:19:59.060 –> 00:20:02.520
if you believe in it, which I think is,

00:20:02.520 –> 00:20:04.220
in the real world, has like a lot

00:20:04.220 –> 00:20:05.540
of very interesting connotations.

00:20:05.540 –> 00:20:06.460
– World War.

00:20:06.460 –> 00:20:10.260
– The World War, because it’s kind of true.

00:20:10.260 –> 00:20:12.260
Like if you believe something’s haunted,

00:20:12.260 –> 00:20:15.900
it’s gonna haunt you, because you believe that it is.

00:20:15.900 –> 00:20:19.220
If you’re like a huge skeptic and you don’t believe anything,

00:20:19.220 –> 00:20:20.660
you’re not gonna like–

00:20:20.660 –> 00:20:21.500
– No. – And hear a noise

00:20:21.500 –> 00:20:25.420
and be like, oh, it’s the doll I don’t believe is haunted.

00:20:25.420 –> 00:20:27.740
– Exactly, no, I completely believe that.

00:20:27.740 –> 00:20:32.740
I’m like, if you’re someone who, yeah, believes in things,

00:20:32.740 –> 00:20:37.020
you’re going to notice stuff maybe like a non-believer

00:20:37.020 –> 00:20:39.820
wouldn’t notice, and that’s gonna mean something to you.

00:20:39.820 –> 00:20:43.300
You will have a experience or whatever,

00:20:43.300 –> 00:20:45.260
whereas someone who is skeptic is like,

00:20:45.260 –> 00:20:48.100
that’s just the wind, and I will move on.

00:20:48.100 –> 00:20:51.460
So yeah, I completely believe that.

00:20:51.460 –> 00:20:54.940
– The power of suggestion in the uncanny valley.

00:20:54.940 –> 00:21:00.800
– I did not know much about this next doll,

00:21:00.800 –> 00:21:06.900
Robert the doll, but it’s so popular.

00:21:06.900 –> 00:21:07.860
– Yes.

00:21:07.860 –> 00:21:11.340
– Tell me what you know, or tell me what happened.

00:21:11.340 –> 00:21:13.500
– I have a kind of stupid story about this.

00:21:13.500 –> 00:21:16.140
So when I was at a previous employer,

00:21:16.140 –> 00:21:18.260
(laughing)

00:21:18.260 –> 00:21:21.620
One of the other managers and I told one of our associates,

00:21:21.620 –> 00:21:25.040
who’s this older woman, she’s probably in her 60s maybe,

00:21:25.040 –> 00:21:30.380
about Robert the doll, and showed her photos,

00:21:30.380 –> 00:21:31.620
for Google photos, right?

00:21:31.620 –> 00:21:34.260
And we’re just sitting in the back room, just talking.

00:21:34.260 –> 00:21:38.380
And so we’re telling her, “Oh yeah, there’s Robert the doll,

00:21:38.380 –> 00:21:41.300
“he’s on display, he has his own room,

00:21:41.300 –> 00:21:42.660
“and he’s taken care of,

00:21:42.660 –> 00:21:45.260
“and people believe he’s haunted and stuff.”

00:21:45.260 –> 00:21:50.060
And she, like a week later, she came to us and was like,

00:21:50.060 –> 00:21:51.340
“I had a dream.

00:21:51.340 –> 00:21:54.300
Robert the doll came to me and he touched me.”

00:21:54.300 –> 00:21:56.500
And we were just like, “What?”

00:21:56.500 –> 00:21:57.340
– What?

00:21:57.340 –> 00:22:01.580
– I did not know you were gonna take it there.

00:22:01.580 –> 00:22:02.420
– Whoa.

00:22:02.420 –> 00:22:04.780
– What?

00:22:04.780 –> 00:22:06.220
– And so, every time I think–

00:22:06.220 –> 00:22:07.860
– Infiltrated her dreams.

00:22:07.860 –> 00:22:10.460
– Literally, so every time I think of Robert the doll,

00:22:10.460 –> 00:22:14.180
I think of him traveling through Google image search

00:22:14.180 –> 00:22:16.140
-Too hot, my old co-worker. -Too hot.

00:22:16.140 –> 00:22:17.300
[laughter]

00:22:17.300 –> 00:22:20.820
-You know. -Good for him.

00:22:20.820 –> 00:22:22.860
You got to have hobbies.

00:22:22.860 –> 00:22:26.100
Whoa, wait, like,

00:22:26.100 –> 00:22:28.860
touch their leg, I’m going to kill you.

00:22:28.860 –> 00:22:34.620
-Oh, a strangle? -Yes.

00:22:34.620 –> 00:22:37.220
I didn’t know what that hand motion was.

00:22:37.220 –> 00:22:38.740
-I was very confused. -Oh, sorry.

00:22:38.740 –> 00:22:40.860
-I’m allowed to explain myself. -Touch her however you want.

00:22:40.860 –> 00:22:42.020
[laughter]

00:22:42.180 –> 00:22:47.180
– I assume in a spooky way.

00:22:47.180 –> 00:22:48.940
– He booped her.

00:22:48.940 –> 00:22:49.780
– He boop boop.

00:22:49.780 –> 00:22:51.240
– He did a spook boop.

00:22:51.240 –> 00:22:52.080
– A spook boop.

00:22:52.080 –> 00:22:53.100
(laughing)

00:22:53.100 –> 00:22:54.700
Next week on Spook Boop.

00:22:54.700 –> 00:22:55.540
– Aw.

00:22:55.540 –> 00:22:58.260
Our next podcast for children.

00:22:58.260 –> 00:22:59.160
(laughing)

00:22:59.160 –> 00:23:00.000
– Spook boop.

00:23:00.000 –> 00:23:05.320
Robert the doll is said to have caused car accidents,

00:23:05.320 –> 00:23:07.440
broken bones, and other misfortunes

00:23:07.440 –> 00:23:09.160
to those who disrespect it.

00:23:10.360 –> 00:23:12.660
Maybe she disrespected him after we told her his tale.

00:23:12.660 –> 00:23:14.840
– Yeah, she went home and started a picture of him.

00:23:14.840 –> 00:23:15.680
I was like, “Fuck you.” – Yeah, and I was like,

00:23:15.680 –> 00:23:18.920
“He’s not real.” – “Stupid.”

00:23:18.920 –> 00:23:20.460
And now he lives in Florida.

00:23:20.460 –> 00:23:21.460
Good for him.

00:23:21.460 –> 00:23:24.760
– Yeah, like everything else bad in this world,

00:23:24.760 –> 00:23:25.780
straight to Florida.

00:23:25.780 –> 00:23:26.620
– Yes.

00:23:26.620 –> 00:23:32.100
The last one I have is the Island of the Dolls

00:23:32.100 –> 00:23:34.940
located in Xochimilco, Mexico.

00:23:34.940 –> 00:23:37.180
– Oh, I don’t know anything about this.

00:23:37.180 –> 00:23:40.300
– So from what I remember,

00:23:40.300 –> 00:23:45.300
so I saw Buzzfeed Supernatural video about it.

00:23:45.300 –> 00:23:51.820
So there was this guy who lived on this island,

00:23:51.820 –> 00:23:56.540
this man-made island that was created in Mexico

00:23:56.540 –> 00:24:01.540
and he was tending to his crops one day

00:24:02.340 –> 00:24:07.340
and he saw a girl that had drowned near his island,

00:24:07.340 –> 00:24:11.820
and he was sad that he couldn’t save her,

00:24:11.820 –> 00:24:15.620
knew what happened, so he buried her on the island.

00:24:15.620 –> 00:24:16.940
And then–

00:24:16.940 –> 00:24:18.180
– Where were her parents?

00:24:18.180 –> 00:24:22.660
– She just went for a swim.

00:24:22.660 –> 00:24:23.500
– Damn.

00:24:23.500 –> 00:24:26.260
– And then apparently either the next day

00:24:26.260 –> 00:24:30.140
or sometime soon after, a doll was found

00:24:30.140 –> 00:24:32.880
where she had drowned.

00:24:32.880 –> 00:24:37.880
So he thought that the dolls were representative of her.

00:24:37.880 –> 00:24:44.960
So he would collect dolls and people would come

00:24:44.960 –> 00:24:48.160
to the island to trade dolls for produce

00:24:48.160 –> 00:24:50.120
that he grew on the island.

00:24:50.120 –> 00:24:52.920
Yeah, and so it ended up just being

00:24:52.920 –> 00:24:54.920
this whole big collection of dolls

00:24:54.920 –> 00:24:57.420
throughout the entire island.

00:24:57.420 –> 00:24:58.260
Dolls, dolls, dolls, dolls, dolls, dolls.

00:24:58.260 –> 00:25:00.300
– And this was just some random girl?

00:25:00.300 –> 00:25:01.140
– Mm-hmm.

00:25:01.140 –> 00:25:04.620
– No, I’m uncomfortable.

00:25:04.620 –> 00:25:06.340
– You know what was worse? – Multiple assets.

00:25:06.340 –> 00:25:08.380
If it was like, oh yeah, his daughter drowned,

00:25:08.380 –> 00:25:10.700
I’d be like, damn, okay, he’s trying to get in touch

00:25:10.700 –> 00:25:11.700
with his daughter. – It was a rando.

00:25:11.700 –> 00:25:15.300
– Some rando, like, you’re a little too obsessed

00:25:15.300 –> 00:25:19.760
with this body you found. – This rando buried her.

00:25:19.760 –> 00:25:25.380
When I was watching the video,

00:25:25.380 –> 00:25:28.100
the part that I remembered and scared me the most

00:25:28.100 –> 00:25:30.720
was how many spiders there were on the island.

00:25:30.720 –> 00:25:34.560
There’s like a whole segment of them trying to like

00:25:34.560 –> 00:25:38.800
leave the island and they have to go under

00:25:38.800 –> 00:25:40.520
all these things and these spiders everywhere.

00:25:40.520 –> 00:25:42.840
– You mean the spiders were trying to leave the island.

00:25:42.840 –> 00:25:45.400
(laughing)

00:25:45.400 –> 00:25:46.720
No, leave them there.

00:25:46.720 –> 00:25:50.240
– You stay there with it,

00:25:50.240 –> 00:25:52.080
like they would come out of the dolls and stuff.

00:25:52.080 –> 00:25:54.760
– No, no. – It was super bad.

00:25:54.760 –> 00:25:56.160
– No, thank you.

00:25:56.160 –> 00:25:57.960
– It was all kinds of little dolls

00:25:57.960 –> 00:26:01.000
and there was like a Mickey Mouse one and a gorilla one.

00:26:01.000 –> 00:26:01.920
– Interesting.

00:26:01.920 –> 00:26:05.240
– So.

00:26:05.240 –> 00:26:08.120
– Yikes.

00:26:08.120 –> 00:26:09.580
I hate that, I hate it.

00:26:09.580 –> 00:26:14.920
– Apparently, like the guy’s nephew would,

00:26:14.920 –> 00:26:17.880
like lives at the island now and like talks about

00:26:17.880 –> 00:26:20.400
what he knows from when his uncle was alive.

00:26:20.400 –> 00:26:21.240
– Yeah.

00:26:21.240 –> 00:26:24.920
– He said that his uncle used to tell him

00:26:24.920 –> 00:26:27.600
like the dolls will turn to each other

00:26:27.600 –> 00:26:29.100
-and you start whispering. -Yikes.

00:26:29.100 –> 00:26:30.980
-Yeah. -I’m against it.

00:26:30.980 –> 00:26:34.140
-That’s creepy, right? -Kind of feel like he brought this on himself.

00:26:34.140 –> 00:26:39.600
I mean, you’re gonna bring that much on the island?

00:26:39.600 –> 00:26:42.940
Maybe he just had, like, a super hyper fixation

00:26:42.940 –> 00:26:45.580
that lasted his entire life.

00:26:45.580 –> 00:26:47.080
-He just was like… -That’s what it sounds like.

00:26:47.080 –> 00:26:50.080
“I am obsessed with these dolls. Very cute.”

00:26:50.080 –> 00:26:52.840
Are you– I’m sorry, are you insinuating that he, like,

00:26:52.840 –> 00:26:55.800
made up a story about a dead girl so that people would bring him dolls?

00:26:55.880 –> 00:26:56.880
Yeah.

00:26:56.880 –> 00:26:57.880
Okay.

00:26:57.880 –> 00:27:02.080
He was just like, “Damn, nobody’s going to give me a doll because I’m a grown man.”

00:27:02.080 –> 00:27:03.080
Yeah.

00:27:03.080 –> 00:27:04.600
I’m a grown old man on an island.

00:27:04.600 –> 00:27:05.880
And so no one’s going to do that.

00:27:05.880 –> 00:27:10.800
So I need to make up a story about a tiny dead child so that people will bring the tiny

00:27:10.800 –> 00:27:12.000
dead child dolls.

00:27:12.000 –> 00:27:13.000
Yeah.

00:27:13.000 –> 00:27:17.900
They’ll bring offerings of the dolls to her, but in fact, it will be me who wants the dolls.

00:27:17.900 –> 00:27:19.280
It was me all along.

00:27:19.280 –> 00:27:20.280
All along.

00:27:20.280 –> 00:27:23.280
I like that theory.

00:27:23.280 –> 00:27:25.540
(laughing)

00:27:25.540 –> 00:27:30.680
– Actually, that reminds me, it’s actually very similar.

00:27:30.680 –> 00:27:34.320
I had a child die in my backyard

00:27:34.320 –> 00:27:36.540
and that child really loved Oreos.

00:27:36.540 –> 00:27:40.800
So if everyone could just bring me Oreos for the child

00:27:40.800 –> 00:27:43.620
who I buried in my backyard because they died there.

00:27:43.620 –> 00:27:45.240
– Yeah, I had nothing to do with it.

00:27:45.240 –> 00:27:46.080
– Nothing to do with me.

00:27:46.080 –> 00:27:48.440
No spiders involved in these Oreos, please.

00:27:48.440 –> 00:27:50.240
– No, no spider Oreos.

00:27:50.240 –> 00:27:52.920
– No spider, no sporeos.

00:27:52.920 –> 00:27:54.360
(laughing)

00:27:54.360 –> 00:27:55.720
– Stop.

00:27:55.720 –> 00:27:56.800
That wasn’t good.

00:27:56.800 –> 00:27:58.080
And we both did it.

00:27:58.080 –> 00:27:59.280
(laughing)

00:27:59.280 –> 00:28:00.480
And it wasn’t good.

00:28:00.480 –> 00:28:02.140
– It was so stupid.

00:28:02.140 –> 00:28:04.120
(laughing)

00:28:04.120 –> 00:28:05.800
– I was really following you for a moment.

00:28:05.800 –> 00:28:07.480
I was just like, uh-huh.

00:28:07.480 –> 00:28:08.320
– Yeah.

00:28:08.320 –> 00:28:10.040
– That in the backyard?

00:28:10.040 –> 00:28:10.880
This one here?

00:28:10.880 –> 00:28:12.280
– This one here.

00:28:12.280 –> 00:28:13.120
– Oreos?

00:28:13.120 –> 00:28:13.940
– Oreos.

00:28:13.940 –> 00:28:16.040
– Spire.

00:28:16.040 –> 00:28:17.240
– Spireos.

00:28:17.240 –> 00:28:18.080
– Spireos.

00:28:18.080 –> 00:28:21.000
(laughing)

00:28:21.000 –> 00:28:24.740
– That’s my– – Dolls are creepy.

00:28:24.740 –> 00:28:27.480
– They are– – End of discussion.

00:28:27.480 –> 00:28:30.080
– Don’t own any.

00:28:30.080 –> 00:28:31.640
Don’t look at one.

00:28:31.640 –> 00:28:35.800
Oh, we haven’t seen Megan.

00:28:35.800 –> 00:28:37.200
– We haven’t seen Megan.

00:28:37.200 –> 00:28:39.720
That’s the closure to this story.

00:28:39.720 –> 00:28:41.240
We don’t know if this Robert,

00:28:41.240 –> 00:28:42.920
Ro, Robert. – Robert.

00:28:42.920 –> 00:28:44.880
– Robert the doll.

00:28:44.880 –> 00:28:47.120
(laughing)

00:28:47.120 –> 00:28:49.380
(laughing)

00:28:49.380 –> 00:28:53.680
– Robert, who’s Robert?

00:28:53.680 –> 00:28:58.240
I love that so much.

00:28:58.240 –> 00:29:02.120
– It’s the remake to Robert the doll.

00:29:02.120 –> 00:29:03.620
It’s just Robert the doll.

00:29:03.620 –> 00:29:04.460
– Mm-hmm.

00:29:04.460 –> 00:29:06.700
(laughing)

00:29:06.700 –> 00:29:11.900
Sounds like a knockoff one.

00:29:11.900 –> 00:29:13.180
– We’ll see Megan eventually.

00:29:13.180 –> 00:29:16.920
Robot dolls, it’s like a great, it’s like a good update.

00:29:16.920 –> 00:29:18.820
And I think it’s a lot better for it to be Megan

00:29:18.820 –> 00:29:20.360
than when they tried to reboot Chucky

00:29:20.360 –> 00:29:22.140
’cause they tried to reboot Chucky

00:29:22.140 –> 00:29:26.120
without the original founder on board.

00:29:26.120 –> 00:29:28.840
I keep saying founder, without the original writer.

00:29:28.840 –> 00:29:30.400
– Founding father.

00:29:30.400 –> 00:29:31.520
– Founding father.

00:29:31.520 –> 00:29:33.400
And that’s just crummy.

00:29:33.400 –> 00:29:35.560
– Did you ever see Ex Machina?

00:29:35.560 –> 00:29:38.040
– Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:29:38.040 –> 00:29:40.660
So robot episode when?

00:29:40.660 –> 00:29:41.500
– Robots.

00:29:43.220 –> 00:29:47.660
We’ll be back with our intentions in just a minute.

00:29:47.660 –> 00:30:07.060
Why’d she do that?

00:30:07.060 –> 00:30:11.320
She knows, she knows what she’s doing.

00:30:11.320 –> 00:30:13.180
She does that to me and I’m like, you’re right.

00:30:13.180 –> 00:30:17.420
I am worthless and I must do whatever you tell me.

00:30:17.420 –> 00:30:19.420
– She’s like, have you ever thought about–

00:30:19.420 –> 00:30:20.260
– My face.

00:30:20.260 –> 00:30:22.500
(laughing)

00:30:22.500 –> 00:30:27.560
– We get like extra giggly when we’re drinking.

00:30:27.560 –> 00:30:29.780
(laughing)

00:30:29.780 –> 00:30:31.640
It’s funny, I like it.

00:30:31.640 –> 00:30:34.700
We should only drink while recording.

00:30:34.700 –> 00:30:35.540
– Honestly.

00:30:35.540 –> 00:30:39.100
Yeah, it makes everything a little more loosey goosey.

00:30:40.660 –> 00:30:41.660
All right.

00:30:41.660 –> 00:30:44.460
Um, so intentions for the week.

00:30:44.460 –> 00:30:45.460
Yes.

00:30:45.460 –> 00:30:51.660
First off, I want to suggest to the three friends of ours who listen to our podcast.

00:30:51.660 –> 00:30:52.660
Yes.

00:30:52.660 –> 00:30:56.540
Every week, whenever you want, DM us, send us an intention of your own.

00:30:56.540 –> 00:31:00.660
We want to be able to like share other people’s intentions out into the universe as well.

00:31:00.660 –> 00:31:01.660
Yes.

00:31:01.660 –> 00:31:06.580
So either one of our personal ones or are going to start to send us an intention.

00:31:06.580 –> 00:31:08.220
Let us know what you want to do for the week.

00:31:08.220 –> 00:31:10.420
Let us know what you’re trying to manifest.

00:31:10.420 –> 00:31:12.820
let us know what you wanna happen.

00:31:12.820 –> 00:31:14.340
– Friends tell us things.

00:31:14.340 –> 00:31:18.260
– Let’s crowdfund some mysticism here

00:31:18.260 –> 00:31:21.380
and make what are wants realities.

00:31:21.380 –> 00:31:23.380
– Go fund me with thoughts.

00:31:23.380 –> 00:31:24.220
– Yes.

00:31:24.220 –> 00:31:26.180
– Okay, I like that.

00:31:26.180 –> 00:31:27.000
– All right, beautiful.

00:31:27.000 –> 00:31:30.460
For me, my intention for this week–

00:31:30.460 –> 00:31:32.580
– Is to focus, you fuck.

00:31:32.580 –> 00:31:33.420
– Fucking focus.

00:31:33.420 –> 00:31:35.760
(laughing)

00:31:35.760 –> 00:31:37.660
I, you know, I’ve

00:31:39.260 –> 00:31:43.780
I’ve been very blessed to have people who want me around

00:31:43.780 –> 00:31:46.660
and to help them things and to be involved

00:31:46.660 –> 00:31:48.380
in community and everything.

00:31:48.380 –> 00:31:50.040
– That’s so sweet.

00:31:50.040 –> 00:31:54.580
– But I happen to have a little bit of extra time this week

00:31:54.580 –> 00:31:56.740
that I can actually devote to things like school.

00:31:56.740 –> 00:32:00.340
So I really wanna be able, I just wanna like buckle down,

00:32:00.340 –> 00:32:03.660
get some stuff done ahead of time

00:32:03.660 –> 00:32:06.420
so that everything’s a little less like stressful.

00:32:08.500 –> 00:32:11.540
and then that gives me more time to work on this

00:32:11.540 –> 00:32:14.140
or work on my personal branding.

00:32:14.140 –> 00:32:17.300
I’d like to get back into videos and stuff.

00:32:17.300 –> 00:32:18.700
All these things I wanna do,

00:32:18.700 –> 00:32:22.120
I don’t know how people have time.

00:32:22.120 –> 00:32:27.580
But Lord knows I just need to cinch it together.

00:32:27.580 –> 00:32:29.060
– Yes.

00:32:29.060 –> 00:32:31.260
– So that’s my intention for the week.

00:32:31.260 –> 00:32:33.680
– I like it, very well, very well done.

00:32:35.820 –> 00:32:39.820
My intention, and I’m gonna go ahead and say specific

00:32:39.820 –> 00:32:41.540
because I’m gonna make it happen.

00:32:41.540 –> 00:32:42.380
– Yes.

00:32:42.380 –> 00:32:45.020
– I’m gonna, I’m currently reading American Psycho.

00:32:45.020 –> 00:32:45.960
– Yeah, you are.

00:32:45.960 –> 00:32:49.580
– I’m gonna finish it and I’m going to basically

00:32:49.580 –> 00:32:51.780
give y’all a book report.

00:32:51.780 –> 00:32:52.620
– Okay.

00:32:52.620 –> 00:32:54.980
– Of between the movie and the book.

00:32:54.980 –> 00:32:57.940
– Okay, so that’ll be what, like two episodes from now?

00:32:57.940 –> 00:33:02.900
– Yeah, I mean, I’m reading a little bit of it every night.

00:33:02.900 –> 00:33:05.420
It’s really, it’s hard to put down.

00:33:05.420 –> 00:33:08.020
I don’t know what called me to start reading it,

00:33:08.020 –> 00:33:11.120
but I just bought it and I’m reading it and I’m into it.

00:33:11.120 –> 00:33:13.300
And I’ve never seen the movie.

00:33:13.300 –> 00:33:17.820
– We should definitely, maybe instead of the one movie

00:33:17.820 –> 00:33:20.540
we were gonna watch, maybe we’ll watch that when you’re done.

00:33:20.540 –> 00:33:21.700
– Okay. – Like next week maybe,

00:33:21.700 –> 00:33:22.960
if we find time.

00:33:22.960 –> 00:33:24.180
– I will try and finish reading.

00:33:24.180 –> 00:33:25.940
– Yeah, I mean, whenever, whenever.

00:33:25.940 –> 00:33:28.620
– I’m like one fourth of the way through.

00:33:28.620 –> 00:33:32.260
– Oh, okay, so in a couple weeks, at some point,

00:33:32.260 –> 00:33:34.020
you’ll be done, we’ll watch the movie.

00:33:34.020 –> 00:33:35.260
but I do want to do it. – And we’ll make that

00:33:35.260 –> 00:33:37.460
an episode, we can discuss.

00:33:37.460 –> 00:33:40.340
– Yes, and ’cause you gave me that idea

00:33:40.340 –> 00:33:42.260
and that sounds awesome.

00:33:42.260 –> 00:33:45.980
Me just telling you that I was reading.

00:33:45.980 –> 00:33:47.180
– Yes, book report.

00:33:47.180 –> 00:33:50.380
– Book club.

00:33:50.380 –> 00:33:52.780
– Yes, all right, so everyone better start reading

00:33:52.780 –> 00:33:55.900
and then you can be prepared when that episode comes out.

00:33:55.900 –> 00:33:58.180
– Or if you don’t like reading, just watch the movie

00:33:58.180 –> 00:33:59.540
and I’ll tell you about the book.

00:33:59.540 –> 00:34:00.980
– There we go, there we go.

00:34:00.980 –> 00:34:02.980
I’m really interested to see what the differences are.

00:34:02.980 –> 00:34:04.460
– Me too. – So I’ve never read it,

00:34:04.460 –> 00:34:06.700
but I’ve watched it, and now you haven’t watched it,

00:34:06.700 –> 00:34:07.620
but you’re reading it.

00:34:07.620 –> 00:34:11.860
So I think when you do finally watch it,

00:34:11.860 –> 00:34:14.500
it’ll be interesting to see how somebody

00:34:14.500 –> 00:34:15.700
who’s never read the book

00:34:15.700 –> 00:34:17.300
versus somebody who read the book first.

00:34:17.300 –> 00:34:19.380
– Yes, yes. – That crossover,

00:34:19.380 –> 00:34:20.820
that’ll be interesting.

00:34:20.820 –> 00:34:25.820
– And you know, maybe it could also be a thing

00:34:25.820 –> 00:34:28.980
of some books that were made into movies.

00:34:28.980 –> 00:34:30.900
I’d like to see what the differences are.

00:34:30.900 –> 00:34:36.560
Oh, it’s super interesting how, like, what decisions they have to make to, like, cut

00:34:36.560 –> 00:34:40.460
down on time or sometimes they make changes because they’re like, “Well, that book ended

00:34:40.460 –> 00:34:42.860
stupidly so I don’t want to end it that way.”

00:34:42.860 –> 00:34:43.860
Yeah.

00:34:43.860 –> 00:34:46.060
I’m like, “I’m interested to see what the changes are.”

00:34:46.060 –> 00:34:47.900
So, we’ve said our intentions.

00:34:47.900 –> 00:34:48.900
Yes.

00:34:48.900 –> 00:34:51.300
Universe, hear our cries or whatever.

00:34:51.300 –> 00:34:53.780
Yeah, hear our cries or whatever.

00:34:53.780 –> 00:34:54.780
Woo!

00:34:54.780 –> 00:34:55.780
Woo!

00:34:55.780 –> 00:34:58.460
All right, guys, let us know what your intentions are.

00:34:58.460 –> 00:35:02.020
And until next week, I’ve been Jacob.

00:35:02.020 –> 00:35:03.020
I’ve been Reese.

00:35:03.020 –> 00:35:04.020
And that’s been Mabel.

00:35:04.020 –> 00:35:05.020
Goodbye.

00:35:05.020 –> 00:35:05.020
Goodbye.

00:35:05.020 –> 00:35:07.020
Goodbye!

00:35:07.020 –> 00:35:09.600
(upbeat music)

00:35:09.600 –> 00:35:12.180
(upbeat music)

00:35:12.180 –> 00:35:14.760
(upbeat music)

00:35:14.760 –> 00:35:17.340
(upbeat music)

00:35:17.340 –> 00:35:19.920
(upbeat music)

00:35:19.920 –> 00:35:22.500
(upbeat music)
