- Yes! The candle! - It's the vagina scented-candle.
- I've had two kids, and I feel like I would
just be dropping beads all over the ground
and being like, "Goddammit!" - Oh my god.
- It's so embarrassing.
♪ (rock intro) ♪
- (Gwyneth) So, what happens in a workshop?
- (Betty) Everyone gets off. - Oh. We've been watching this!
(laughs) - (woman groaning)
- What?! - Gwyneth Paltrow.
- Oh my god. I wanna start
watching this. This is... - What is it?
- ...Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. - (woman) What we do at Goop
is to explore ideas that may seem out there or...
- It's all women. - (Gwyneth) Are you guys ready
to go out in the field and... - It's like a retreat.
- (woman) Just another day at the office!
- (women laugh) - Tell me about it.
- Oh yeah. - Girls. Energy healing.
You know I love all of this. - (woman) I had an exorcism.
- (Gwyneth) Oh, wow. - This is-- yeah, all kinds
of different therapies. - This does not seem fun.
- This doesn't seem something I thought Gwyneth Paltrow would do.
- (gasps) That looks fun. (chuckles) - Yeah!
- (woman) ...feel like a panic attack coming on.
- It just seems like a show about uncommon medical treatments,
like more natural. - (Gwyneth) She knew something
that my husband didn't even know. - Orgasms!
- (Betty) You wanna talk about the vulva.
- I did wanna talk about the vulva. - (laughs)
- They got a microscope
and everything. - Hell yeah.
- That's Betty Dodson, kids. Betty Dodson is like
the mother of self-love, and she's amazing.
And my friend took a class from her like in the '90s.
- Oh-kay. - Oh. (laughs)
- (Betty) You've never seen yourself.
- (woman) No. - Yeah, it's really interesting.
- (man) This is dangerous. - Oh.
This guy's amazing. - That's that dude.
- Some of this stuff scares the crap out of me, man.
- The Goop lab. - (chuckles) Goop sounds
very unappetizing, but it's fun.
- (Gwyneth) ...one life. How can we really
milk the [bleep] out of this?
- I feel like I know more about her vagina
than other people-- anybody I know. - Yeah, seriously.
- I really have to watch this. I've been putting this off,
but seeing this little trailer for it, I'm in.
- (FBE) So, that was the trailer for the Netflix series
about Gwyneth Paltrow's company, Goop, which explores
many different holistic trends such as psychedelic psychotherapy,
adjusting our energy fields, psychic readings, and more.
We've seen a lot of online commentary channels
talking about this series as well as the company as a whole.
So today, we thought we would dive right into the world of Goop.
- Awesome. - Oooh!
- I know nothing about Goop. - I don't either, but Goop.
- (FBE) So, since they're known for these weird products,
we decided to buy a few items that are sold by Goop.
- You get the candle? - (FBE) And today, we're gonna
let you test them out, and we're gonna see
if you think they should be a thing or if they should not be a thing.
- (both) Okay. - Let's go. I'm excited.
- Me too. (chuckles) - (FBE) So, we're actually
going to be giving away some of the items in this episode
to members of our SuperFam. - (gasps)
- Whoa, giveaway! - (FBE) So, if you wanna enter
to win some of these products, to join the SuperFam,
all you gotta do is head over to React and hit the Join button.
- Yeah, go and do it. Join the SuperFam.
You get some cool perks, and you might win
one of these Goop products. (chuckles) - It'll smell like
Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina and our hands.
- (laughs) - (FBE) So, are you ready
to get into it? - Let's do it.
- Yeah. - Oh my god.
(gasps) Oh my god! - Oh my god!
Yes! - Yes!
The candle! - It's the vagina-scented candle!
- It looks so normal, though. I was expecting
a weird shape or something. - This smells like my vagina.
- (both laugh) - Wait, go ahead.
- As soon as he put it down, I caught the smell, okay?
I'm sorry. - Smell it.
- I'm 64 years old. - Does it smell like mine? (laughs)
- Honey! Let's not be so specific. - Mmm.
- Is that allowed? - It's allowed.
- Am I cheating on you if I smell that?
- (laughs) It smells pretty good. - This does not smell
like a vagina. I'm sorry. - It's like a Glade PlugIn.
- I don't believe her. - No, this does not smell
like her vagina. This smells like essential oils, Gwyneth!
- (FBE) Our first item made headlines when it was announced,
and this is the candle that Gwyneth Paltrow
says smell like her you-know-what. - That's right.
- (FBE) So, this candle actually sells for $75.
- (laughs) - (FBE) And it's actually
sold out on Goop right now. - That's so funny!
- All of Goop's products are a scam, and I think
that makes Gwyneth Paltrow even more of a genius.
- (FBE) So, do you think that this product should be a thing
or not be a thing? - Well, if it's selling out,
I think it should be a thing. - I think it's a great gag gift,
but it's a little overpriced. - It's a great gag gift.
And it's sold out. It's brilliant.
- No, dude. Just go to Yankee Candle.
- I don't think this should be a thing,
because it's just rose. Go get a rose candle.
- Yeah. I mean, it's a little bit of false advertising.
- Whoa! Crystal-infused water. - Ohh, that's so cool.
- I actually have this. (laughs)
- You have this? - I do.
- I haven't seen it. - I don't really study
or know the power of rocks, so I'm not gonna judge,
but I'm sure one sip of this bad boy,
of this rose quartz... - (chuckles) Powers.
- ...you're gonna feel good. - I wanna know what does
this crystal taste like? 'Cause I'm sure this probably
costs like 150. - Babe, how are your chakras?
- (gasps)
No. - (both laugh)
- There's this whole thing of structuring water
with crystals and your intention. Having them is more about creating
a space that makes you comfortable. - It takes you to
that place ascetically, like to feel spiritual
or pseudo-spiritual. Why not? - (FBE) So, this is
a crystal-infused water bottle. Goop has different crystal bottles,
and they give different benefits based off the crystal to you
throughout your day. And they also recommend
that you meditate with the crystal first
to charge it. - Huh.
I think it's a really good placebo, because maybe you're having
a real [bleep] day, and maybe crystal water
does make you think that you're gonna have
a better day now. - (FBE) So, overall,
do you think this should be a thing or should not be a thing?
- Sure. - I think it should.
- No. - Not for me.
- Yeah. People with a lot of money searching for answers.
- This could be a thing. This could be the next
big [bleep] thing for my rock lovers out there.
- Oh, what is this? - What is that?
- "Goop. A variety of bite-sized chews."
- "Perfect Attendance is blackberry-flavored.
Soft chews for immune system support on the go.
Nerd Alert. 10 café-au-lait-flavored soft chews
for clear focus and increased energy." - I don't know.
There's so many supplements on the market that I don't know
if I would buy this. - Got some caffeine.
So, it's just a caffeine chew. - I like it.
- And this is a melatonin one. This one's vitamin C.
- It tastes like garbage. - Hot garbage or regular garbage?
- No. Cold garbage. - (gasps) I love 'em both.
Like a rich person's Starburst. - "These statements have not been
evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure
or prevent any disease." - "Consuming this product
can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known
to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm." If they're not being regulated,
we don't know what we're eating. But I still wanna try it.
- (both laugh) - (FBE) These are a set
of Goop supplements that are each made
for different occasions such as staying focused,
boosting the immune system, and falling asleep.
Do you think these should be a thing or not be a thing?
- Mm... I am more curious about these to see
if they work, though, because-- I don't know why.
Maybe I trust it a little bit more. So, I think it's good
that this exists. - I think they probably
should not be a thing, you know. - I have to taste some of the,
you know, chocolate mint. - (both laugh)
- You just wanna taste it. - Nah. This should totally
not be a thing. At least get it verified
and at least-- especially if it's going into your body,
there should be some regulation or some checks, you know?
- (FBE) Here's our next item. - What is it?
- Anal beads. - Anal beads?
- (both laugh) - All right-y, then.
We've got some fun pleasure beads. - Oh, now we're getting into
the more sex. - (both chuckle)
- "For women seeking stronger orgasms.
Intensifies intimate sensations." - So, you put them inside
basically, right? And they vibrate or something?
- I guess. I don't know. There's only one way to find out.
Shut the cameras off. (laughs) - I don't own these...
but I can imagine that it's some fun.
- How come-- - The heck?
- (gasps) Oh, are those for your butt? - I don't know.
It looks like little goggles. - So, what? Do you turn these on
or what do you with that? - No, you just have them
to tighten you, right? I know.
See, I know a lot about her vagina.
- So, it's like kegels. This is a little kegel
in a shmay-shmay. I've had two kids,
and I feel like I would just be dropping beads
all of the ground and being like, "Goddammit!"
- Oh my god. This is-- - It's so embarrassing.
- (FBE) These are LUNA Beads by LELO,
which are sold by Goop. Along with Goop's main fashion
and beauty wellness products, they also sell many other
health and wellness items from other brands like the following.
So, the LUNA Beads are weighted beads that reportedly help women
reach a more intense climax. So, do you think that this
should be a thing or not be a thing?
- I think this should be a thing. If anything, this is the most
I've heard about kegels and doing exercises
for your vagina. So, I think this--
out of all the products we've seen so far,
I think this could genuinely help. - If people are gonna buy it
and use it and get more pleasure in their sexual life, then why not?
- This is where I totally am a huge fan of Goop
and any other brand that is gonna put
women's sexual health at the fore. - I think it's a positive thing.
- Yeah. - And it's refreshing.
- Whoa.
They got crystals in the bottle! - That's pretty.
- (Grisel) Oh. - (Ethan James) Ooh!
Oh! This is like the spray. - Is it a pillow thing?
- It's a repellent. - Psychic vampire repellent.
You know those pesky vampires are always trying to get
in your head, and now you can finally repel them.
- You know, it was jut the other day I was walking
down the street at night and I ran into a psychic vampire
and I said, "Boy, I wish I had some repellents right on me!"
- "Shake gently before each use." - Okay.
- "Spray around the aura to protect from psychic attack
and mental or emotional harm. Avoid contact with eyes."
- It's gem-infused aromatherapy. - Ohh.
(spraying)
- Mmm. - Oh.
- Where's your aura? Ah! - How am I supposed to know?
- (gasps) What if I disappeared 'cause I'm a psychic vampire?
- One of the ingredients is moonlight.
- (laughs) - You gotta be [bleep] kidding me.
- Keep your mother away. - (both laugh)
- I would love to get-- about to be in an argument
and someone's like... - Pew!
- "Hold on." (makes spraying noise)
"Shut the [bleep] up. Shut the [bleep] up."
- (FBE) So, this last item
is our psychic vampire repellent. - (whispers) I love this.
- (FBE) It's supposed to help fight off psychic attacks
to the aura, whether that be emotional or mental.
So, for this last item... - I want it.
- (FBE) ...do you think this should be a thing
or should not be a thing? - Why not?
- I want it. - Smells good and, you know,
I can already feel the psychic vampires...
they're doing something else now. They went away.
- I'm a believer in good aura.
I believe in this! - What?
- This should be a thing. - (FBE) This was just a small look
into some of the products at Goop, but overall, what did you think
about these items that you saw and tried today?
- If you have the money to blow, do it. Why not?
You only live once. But you can make them at home,
a lot of these things. - The big criticism of Goop
over and over is that it's pseudoscience.
But then again, you're dealing with herbs and crystals and things
that for centuries, you know, all different cultures all over
the world have used for healing and for all sorts of things.
It might feel a little BS in a contemporary package,
but I think there's a lot of validity to it too.
- Everything we tried was just ordinary [bleep] from Ralph's,
but it was just called psychic vampire repellent spray or it was called my--
this is what my vagina smells like. - It scares me a little bit
how much holistic healing is coming around,
'cause I don't think people are getting vaccinated as much,
getting their flu shot, seeing their doctor as much,
so you should definitely still go see your doctor,
and you can do all this other fun holistic stuff
as an addition. - (FBE) As you've seen,
alternative medicines and more natural wellness trends
have become a growing fad, so much so that obviously,
as you saw, there is now an entire Netflix series
revolving around the topic. Why do you think that
these wellness trends have become so popular
in these past few years? - Well, I think because
more young people don't want to go on medications.
I think they wanna find an alternative way to find
a solution to whatever is their issue.
- (FBE) Well, finally, if you were to design
your own Goop product, what would it be?
- I'm making a penis candle.
That's for damn sure. - Oh my god.
- It's gonna be shaped like a penis too. (laughs)
- Power crystal sex toy.
- Oh. That might be popular actually.
You're onto something. - Like a rose quartz dildo.
- (laughs) - Viagra candle, you know.
You just light up in the room,
and everybody's having fun! - Everybody.
- And nobody's taking pills! - I hear from people
a lot of the time that they can't meditate,
so I would create something that maybe would be, you know,
a spray or something like that to anoint the room,
charge the room. - Mud that you eat and...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...it makes you a shaman. I don't know.
