<v Speaker 1>Jarny, Katy and Josh makes one hundred guys, it's time

<v Speaker 1>to celebrate. I celebrate this time every year, right around

<v Speaker 1>this time. You know why I celebrate. I'm excited to

<v Speaker 1>find out the mulch is out.

<v Speaker 2>At Home Depot and Walmart, the mulch is out.

<v Speaker 3>I love it when the mulch comes out.

<v Speaker 1>Do Well, it's just because that means we're just that

<v Speaker 1>much closer to full time spring and in the summer,

<v Speaker 1>and like when all the lawn care stuff starts coming out,

<v Speaker 1>the bags of soil, I know, and you've.

<v Speaker 2>Talked about how that's like one of your favorite smells

<v Speaker 2>at home Depot, the wood, the mult you know that

<v Speaker 2>garden springtime smell.

<v Speaker 1>Well, it's just a sign that spring is on its

<v Speaker 1>way and the baby bunnies will be running around pretty soon.

<v Speaker 2>It's so exciting.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, the mulch is out.

<v Speaker 2>When it stayed light out yesterday, I felt so good

<v Speaker 2>and I was automatically not mad at daylight saving time anymore.

<v Speaker 2>I was saying, Okay, here's the positive, but you can

<v Speaker 2>feel just your whole body.

<v Speaker 1>I actually went and sat on the back porch for

<v Speaker 1>just a little bit last night because I was hurting

<v Speaker 1>so bad because I've been working on the basement but just.

<v Speaker 3>Laid there in the sun. I was like, fenghee, Yes,

<v Speaker 3>she's so good.

<v Speaker 1>Give it to me anyway, everybody celebrate the mulches out.

<v Speaker 3>Summer is quickly approaching. All right, let's shift gears and

<v Speaker 3>talk about dolls.

<v Speaker 1>I got one story to kick this off the ass,

<v Speaker 1>to do with Barbies, and then we're going to dive

<v Speaker 1>into the American girl debacle right now.

<v Speaker 3>Yes, I saw this story this morning. It was kind

<v Speaker 3>of funny.

<v Speaker 1>This woman named Benita holds the Guinness World Record for

<v Speaker 1>owning eighteen thousand, five hundred Barbie dolls. My God, holy,

<v Speaker 1>and she earned a second title by identifying some Barbie

<v Speaker 1>dolls while blindfolded. She was on some sort of TV show.

<v Speaker 1>They blindfolded her and then she identified nineteen different Barbie

<v Speaker 1>dolls in three minutes using only touch.

<v Speaker 3>She analyzed the.

<v Speaker 1>Shape, the hair, texture, clothing, and then boom nailed it.

<v Speaker 1>Now I looked at this and I was like, this

<v Speaker 1>is ridiculous.

<v Speaker 2>That's a little obsessive. Like I played with a girl

<v Speaker 2>like Benito when I was little growing up, and I

<v Speaker 2>didn't like it. Like all these dolls he can't take

<v Speaker 2>them out of the box like that was someone like you.

<v Speaker 1>I think I was like, what a weirdo? And people

<v Speaker 1>tell me that I collect dolls and I have to

<v Speaker 1>quickly correct them and say, no, these are action figures,

<v Speaker 1>thank you very much.

<v Speaker 2>And you probably also didn't let people play with your toys.

<v Speaker 3>Huh, well, no, I was different. I played with my

<v Speaker 3>toys growing up.

<v Speaker 1>You share, Yeah, okay, I used them for what they

<v Speaker 1>were intended for. But now when I'm collecting no, ain't

<v Speaker 1>nobody even looking at him, don't even breathe on him.

<v Speaker 1>But I would be willing to take this challenge with

<v Speaker 1>my he man action figures.

<v Speaker 3>I could probably.

<v Speaker 1>Blindfold myself and do a little test, have Knickknack lining

<v Speaker 1>up like five of them in front of me, and

<v Speaker 1>I'll feel them up and I could guess.

<v Speaker 2>It's a normal Saturday night for you.

<v Speaker 1>You got some epic pas Bro, you got thisbies.

<v Speaker 2>This would be fun. You should do that. I would

<v Speaker 2>like to see you. Would you directly identify Skelter? I

<v Speaker 2>think this is fabulous. I like this. I like this

<v Speaker 2>idea a lot.

<v Speaker 1>D's going viral, Yeah, Skeletor, I can see it Nowtor. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>So there's your Barbie story. And then the American girl

<v Speaker 1>girl dolls. I guess they're in the news right now.

<v Speaker 2>Well, millennial people everywhere will agree that American girl dolls

<v Speaker 2>are just part of our childhood. So the fact that

<v Speaker 2>they've changed so much, especially in the last couple of years,

<v Speaker 2>it irks us, like we're like, wait a minute, you

<v Speaker 2>can't do that to Molly. No, no, no, what's going on?

<v Speaker 3>Are they changing him?

<v Speaker 2>Just to show you that they really tried to cater

<v Speaker 2>the American girl doll culture towards older women. So they've

<v Speaker 2>promised us a book for Samantha, an adult novel about

<v Speaker 2>her adventures in the nineteen twenties for years, so like

<v Speaker 2>they know what we want and they give it to

<v Speaker 2>us in the littlest bits. But the latest uproar, we

<v Speaker 2>do not like it because they took the American girl

<v Speaker 2>doll image and they modernized her. Right, So the six

<v Speaker 2>original dolls, they have given them a modern look. So Samantha, Kirsten, Addie, Felicity,

<v Speaker 2>Josephina they're all and then Mollie. They are all reimagined.

<v Speaker 2>And they took their historic dolls and then designed them

<v Speaker 2>to reflect the time of American history, but then they

<v Speaker 2>put them through a contemporary lens. So like if you like,

<v Speaker 2>like Josh and I were looking at the outfits during

<v Speaker 2>the break.

<v Speaker 3>And I don't like them, Like CHRISTI is modern. They're

<v Speaker 3>just girls now.

<v Speaker 2>Kirsten has space buns, like, yeah, that is not Chris.

<v Speaker 2>Felicity has the boo boo on her clutch bags, like.

<v Speaker 3>These are just dolls now.

<v Speaker 1>I don't like it because they have veered from collecting

<v Speaker 1>these dolls and learning about history.

<v Speaker 2>Yes, because that was it. That was it.

<v Speaker 1>That's the gist of the American girl dolls is you're

<v Speaker 1>learning a little something when you collect these dolls. My

<v Speaker 1>sister had all the originals back in the eighties week.

<v Speaker 2>Exactly saying you wanted them, like you put it these dolls.

<v Speaker 1>And it's like and you learned about life on the prairie, yes,

<v Speaker 1>and whatever else they were doing churning butter.

<v Speaker 2>Yes. Like Josephina, she represents the you know, Latin culture,

<v Speaker 2>so she's very like her outfit is beautiful, but like

<v Speaker 2>the modernized version of her. She looks like she's going

<v Speaker 2>to Coachella.

<v Speaker 1>Like she she's walking around meadows yoga pants, yes, judging

<v Speaker 1>everybody with her.

<v Speaker 3>You know, yes, her bag so fancy Louis Vatan bag.

<v Speaker 2>Millennial moms and just people in general are like in

<v Speaker 2>an uproar right now. It is the funny thing about

<v Speaker 2>this story, though, And you got to give it to

<v Speaker 2>American Girl Doll because they did a little research of

<v Speaker 2>their own and they were like, well, you know who

<v Speaker 2>these dolls are for children? And you know who loves

<v Speaker 2>the new Americans who have been modernized are the children

<v Speaker 2>they love. They're they're not learning, but they're the ones

<v Speaker 2>who want the dolls. And so you gotta kind of

<v Speaker 2>tip your hat to American Girl Doll for really listening

<v Speaker 2>to their customers because you we're in an uproar, but

<v Speaker 2>there's still the original dolls up there, so if we

<v Speaker 2>want to get all immersed in history and take a

<v Speaker 2>trip back in time, it's there for us. But they

<v Speaker 2>have to think of the new generation and what they love.

<v Speaker 1>They got their bags and hair, let's go.

<v Speaker 3>To girl.

<v Speaker 2>Exactly. So that's kind of the story. And I don't

<v Speaker 2>like knowing that last part about them trying to appease

<v Speaker 2>the children, Like that calms me down a little bit.

<v Speaker 2>But I when I first saw this American Girl doll story.

<v Speaker 2>I was with them. I was just like, not Molly,

<v Speaker 2>not today.

<v Speaker 1>With her skinny jeans. Still come with the books, Yes, really,

<v Speaker 1>so they.

<v Speaker 2>Still come with all these can't I know an app

<v Speaker 2>that you down there?

<v Speaker 1>Each one will come with a little cell phone and

<v Speaker 1>they're all taking selfies and yeah.

<v Speaker 2>They still have their accessories.

<v Speaker 3>So hold on, I'm looking at this.

<v Speaker 1>So the books are still meat Felicity meat, Addie meat, Molly. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>the books are still talking about them in the olden

<v Speaker 1>days is what it looks like.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you still learn it doesn't make any sense

<v Speaker 2>the olden days. It's just you, you know, again the

<v Speaker 2>modernized look of the dolls, because that's what really grabs

<v Speaker 2>the attention of the kiddos. But I grew up again

<v Speaker 2>wanting one of these dolls, relating to one of these dolls.

<v Speaker 2>And I guess I'm glad that kids also get that opportunity,

<v Speaker 2>because it's probably a lot easier to relate to little

<v Speaker 2>you know, Felicity here with her coach bag for the

<v Speaker 2>younger kids than it is. You know what we did

<v Speaker 2>when back when we.

<v Speaker 3>Were come, you didn't get any dolls growing up.

<v Speaker 2>No I did.

<v Speaker 3>I got dolls growing come you didn't get the American

<v Speaker 3>Girl dolls.

<v Speaker 2>I just kind of grew out of it by the

<v Speaker 2>time I got to this stage, I feel like I

<v Speaker 2>didn't really Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>You would have been right around that age.

<v Speaker 2>Right, Definitely I wanted one, but by the time I

<v Speaker 2>just kind of maybe it's just because I couldn't have

<v Speaker 2>one when I was younger there were four children. These

<v Speaker 2>things are expensive. The other thing, if you get the

<v Speaker 2>actual American Girl doll, I mean you're looking at upwards

<v Speaker 2>of like one hundred and fifty two hundred dollars. These

<v Speaker 2>modern era dolls are a little cheaper by the way,

<v Speaker 2>they're selling for ninety dollars because they're shorter. But this

<v Speaker 2>is a especially you know, back in the day.

<v Speaker 3>This was a that was a lot of money. When

<v Speaker 3>it's two hundred bucks a doll back in the eighties

<v Speaker 3>when you.

<v Speaker 2>Have four children. My mom was like, but it really.

<v Speaker 3>Adapted and its yeah, like quite a racket now.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, because you go into these stores and you

<v Speaker 1>can buy accessories and different shoes where they get you.

<v Speaker 3>It's a racket, isn't it.

<v Speaker 2>Even the dog has an outfit it Now, I would never.

<v Speaker 3>Spend this kind of money on dolls.

<v Speaker 2>Nah, Action figures, I mean that's right, that's right. Action

<v Speaker 2>figures
