Speaker 3: Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done
rewatching yoga ball.
Speaker 1: Why do you see on a giant green boot?
Speaker 3: Henry? Could you tell us what was going on at
the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 2: At the beginning of the episode, Banett was behind the
counter cleaning it off, and Bluey and Beingo come up
and they ask if they could play games. Bant says
he's working from home, so he's too busy to play
in games today, and then he goes behind the counter
and pretends he's using an elevator. Then he comes back
up with a flip flopping hands of to Bingo and
that flip flop might be his maybe, But then the
kids go, let's play the elevator game, and Bant says no,
he's too busy, and then goes back down again, comes
back up with another flip flopping hands it to Bluie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't have time to play, but he was playing.
I thought that was pretty cute. Have I ever done
a gag like that with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably?
Speaker 3: After that we see Banda actually try to get to
work and he's in his office typing and he gets
up off of his seat to get something off the printer. Stella,
what happens?
Speaker 2: Bluie comes in and steals his yoga ball chair and
he starts chasing after them, but Bluey and Bingo run
over to the stairs and push it down the stairs
because they still want to play with it.
Speaker 3: It did look like fun, but I could understand why
he would be frustrated. Working from home is tricky when
you have little kids. They want to know why does
he sit on a yoga ball Stella, What did he
tell him?
Speaker 2: He says it's because he hurt his back so many
times when he had to change their diapers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're nappies. He wrecked his back and he has
to sit on that to help it. He starts playing
a game with Bluey, Amanda, what does he do to her?
Speaker 5: He picks up Louie and starts bouncing her on the
yoga ball and you can tell she's just loving it
because she is just laughing and giggling and having fun.
And then he goes to pick up Bingo and starts
to bounce her on the yoga ball and it sounds
like she likes it at first, but then once he
gets done and he sits her down, she gets this
look on her face and she says, oh.
Speaker 4: I think she didn't really like it.
Speaker 3: Towards the end, they did a great job of showing
it from her perspective. Yeah, and her poor little face.
And how suddenly Bandit's going buns really loud, poor Bingo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, her little eyes got pretty big there.
Speaker 3: Bingo doesn't say anything. Bandit wants to get back to work,
but Henry, what has happened to his seat?
Speaker 2: His seat is missing again and it turns out Blue
and Bingo stole it again.
Speaker 3: What are they doing with it?
Speaker 2: They took it to their room and they put a
hat on it, and Bluie was reading to it and
Bingo's trying to find a sticker to put on it.
Speaker 3: Do you remember what was the story that Bluie was reading.
Speaker 5: I think it was a story about somebody named mixed
Up Murphy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in the story he asked a question and
just the words were out of order. I guess that
is what makes him mixed up. But that seemed to
be high comedy to Bluuie. When Bengo is trying to
decide on what sticker to pull out. She tells us
what her name is, Henry, what is her name, Larne?
And what was the ball's name?
Speaker 4: It was Balie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems like a pretty easy one. Laurene though.
I thought that was cute.
Speaker 5: It was an interesting name. I've never heard it before.
Speaker 3: I love that Bengo does this. I wish that was
something that they kept up through the entire show, was
her making up names every time they played.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she really had some good ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ben it comes in and gets the ball, and
when he gets back to his office with it, now
there's a new surprise waiting for him. Stella, what is
going on?
Speaker 2: Bluie is on his office chair now and she's spinning
and struggles on it, and she tells him that she
wants to play delivery chair.
Speaker 3: What does he say?
Speaker 2: He says that he has to do work, So Blue
decides to use her plea's eyes on him so he'll say.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, her big old puppy dog please face, and
he can't resist it. She is pretty adorable. I do
think it would be tough.
Speaker 5: It's definitely hard to resist when a kid does the
please face.
Speaker 4: It's very hard to say no to that.
Speaker 5: And I can understand why Bandit can't say no to
Blui's please face my goodness, she just they really added,
like the sadness and the poudiness and the little star
in her eyes and everything.
Speaker 4: How can you say no to that?
Speaker 3: Kids are very good at that sort of thing. Both
of these two still try to do that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not that long ago.
Speaker 1: I e.
Speaker 3: In the last two weeks, Henry said, But Dad, we
built the PC together. It's like, how dare you.
Speaker 4: Can't use that stuff against us?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not fair, Amanda. How does the delivery chair
game work?
Speaker 5: Bandit pushes the girls around like he's pushing a cart
or something that's delivering mail, and he has to stamp
the girls first before he delivers them. So he goes
to stamp Blue first, and she's fine with it. He
goes to stamp Bingo next, and we can see, I
by the look on her face, he might be stamping
her a little too rough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she did not care for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Then they continue the game by going into his bedroom
and he's going to deliver the packages there. He delivers
Blue first by picking her up and tossing her onto
the bed, and she's giggling and laughing.
Speaker 4: She's having fun.
Speaker 5: And then he goes to pick up Bingo to toss
her onto the bed to deliver her. And when he
tosses her again, it's a little too rough. When we
see Bingo make the face and the ooh sound, I
don't think she's having so much fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when she was up in the air, she seemed
pretty happy until she reached the pinnacle of the arc
she was making, and then she was most displeased. Yes, Henry,
where were the packages being shipped to?
Speaker 2: He was delivering the packages to Mogadishue.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mogadishu. It is the capital of Somalia. Good job, Henry,
Thank you. Bluuie is not giving up, Henry, and she
wants to play one more game. How does she describe it?
Speaker 2: She describes it as to where bandit goes dent and
he rolls the yoga ball down the hall and they
have to jump out of the way.
Speaker 3: Oh you mean ra is right all right, Henry? What
is that a reference to Indiana Jones? Yeah, Raiders of
the Lost Arc when the stone is rolling down the
thing at the beginning of the movie, right. Yeah, I
think it's so cool that Bandit is into Indiana Jones too,
But why wouldn't you be. It's perfect. Bandit's an archaeologist.
He's an archaeologist. It all comes together.
Speaker 5: I didn't even make that connection that Bandit is an archaeologist,
so of course he would like Raiders of the Lost
Ark and Indiana Jones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Indiana Jones is probably his personal hero.
Speaker 4: That's cool.
Speaker 3: Do you think in their world Indiana Jones is a dog?
Or are they watching the same Raiders of the Lost
arc that we are.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't theirs be called Raiders of the Lost Bark.
Speaker 3: Clap clap clapp.
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding seriously, though, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: They go ahead and play, and they're having a ripper
of a time. Stella, how is the game going?
Speaker 2: They are both running down the hall and and they're
like jumping through like doorways to go and like get
out of the way of the ball and just having
so much fun. But then one of the times Bingo
doesn't jump out of the way fast enough, so she
gets hit by the yoga ball.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It knocks her down like a bowling pan, doesn't it. Yeah,
it does Bandit knew right away that that was no good,
and he says it's time to stop playing stella. What
does he tell Bingo?
Speaker 2: He tells Bingo to walk it off.
Speaker 3: Has anybody ever said that to you when something's happened.
Speaker 2: It sounds like someone I know.
Speaker 3: Probably did that help. Were you like, okay, perfect, Everything's
fine though.
Speaker 4: No, I'm so much better now, thank you.
Speaker 3: They had the super sad music right there. Josh Bush
and the music team are just amazing at this, and
Bingo takes off and I noticed they did something really
cool to make you understand how small she is, and
they had her taken one step at a time. I
did notice that and claps all around. That was a
masterpiece right there of storytelling. Amanda war It is Bingo go.
Speaker 5: She makes her way down the stairs and outside, and
she goes to lay under like they have that bench
that goes around they're big tree in the backyard, and
she goes to lay under the bench and she kind
of curls up like a sad little puppy.
Speaker 4: She curls up, and then we see a ball rope
past her.
Speaker 5: Looks like mom is outside practicing field hockey, and she
notices Bingo under the bench looking a little sad, so
she asks her what's going on.
Speaker 3: Bingo tells Chili that sometimes dad is just too rough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does play too rough sometimes, doesn't he?
Speaker 1: Yes, did you use your big gil buck?
Speaker 2: No, because they don't have very good big fuck really
show me.
Speaker 4: Oh that's all right, just do it bigger, bigger?
Speaker 3: Whoa there it is? Come on, let's go talk to
your dad.
Speaker 5: It took her a few tries, but wow, she really
found her big girl bark, didn't she?
Speaker 3: She did? And good for her. They're gonna go and
explain to Bandit how Bingo is feeling henry. What happens?
Speaker 2: They knock on Bandit's door and Bandit says go away
because he just thinks it's blue and Bingo trying to
stop him from Ganga's work done. And then he sees
Chili with them.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 1: You're in trouble?
Speaker 3: No one's in trouble.
Speaker 2: Bingo tells Bandit that he played with her too rough,
so he helps Bingo figure out how rough he can
play with her by bouncing her on the yoga ball.
Speaker 3: He says that he forgets that Bingo is so much younger.
How old is Bingo in this Henry four and how
old is Bluey six? Yeah, so Bingo is not as
big as Bluey and Bandit seems like he's worried that
he just shouldn't play rough with Bingo at all, but Stell,
what does Chili say?
Speaker 2: Chili says that Bingo still wants to be able to
play with Bandit, but she's just gonna try to let
him know whenever he's being too rough.
Speaker 3: With her, right, and what does she do whenever he's
bouncing her on the ball?
Speaker 2: She shows him her big girl bart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he knows. Okay, there's the line and everybody
learns something and he's going to finally get to work.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 5: Bandit turns around and he wants to sit on his
ball again to finish his work up, but he realizes
that the ball is gone again and then they hear Bluie.
Speaker 1: Oh why how rude? How did you dine on the toilet?
Speaker 3: And that was the episode, Henry. Did we forget anything?
Speaker 4: Nope?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what it's time for?
Speaker 4: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 3: Could anyone tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 5: What I learned today is probably the same thing that
I learned when we watched this episode three years ago,
and that is, don't be afraid to speak up for yourself.
If something is not going the right way for you,
or you're uncomfortable or just whatever, don't be afraid to
speak up and say, hey, I don't like this, or
hey can we do this like another?
Speaker 4: Or speak up?
Speaker 3: Right? I agree, very very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with mom. Sometimes when you're a little kid,
it's hard to stand up for yourself, especially when you
want to try to be tough like a big kid
or like an older sibling or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would make it extra tough. Henry, was that
hard for you with Stella being your big sister that
you wanted to be able to do the things that
she did, but you were just a little bit too small.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: One thing I noticed in this is that as a parent,
especially in this case, as a dad who likes to
rough house, you have to be hyper aware of the
reactions of the kids. If Mannett had been paying attention closely,
he would have been able to see that it was
too much for Bingo because she was making the face
and groaning about it, and he probably should have noticed that.
But at the same time, he was really trying to
get work done. Sometimes I work from home and I
think it's not so much now, but used to people
thought I, quote unquote wink wink work from home. No,
I am trying to work and I happen to be
at home and I have to get it done. And
that's what Bandits got going on. So maybe that's why
he didn't notice. But I do think that as the parent,
you should be able to look at your kids and
know when maybe you went just a little bit too far.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, I never really thought about bandit need
to pay attention to the kids' reactions.
Speaker 3: It's a tricky line, but yeah, I think that was
a thing. This was a good episode though. I thought
Chili handled it really well, helping Bing go out, helping
her find her way, and then also helping her let
band No. No, I still want to play, just we
need to find out how to regulate the intensity of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: She did do a really good job, and I feel
like some good parenting was involved on both parts.
Speaker 3: Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode.
Speaker 2: One thing I have to say is that at the
end the episode, did yoga balls on the toilet and
you don't know what's about on that toilet seems.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think you have a pretty good idea what's
been on there. So you're saying that not even washing
the yoga ball would make it usable again? Never, no, no.
Speaker 5: I thought it was a cute episode, and I liked
you know you already touched on it. But I liked
Chili helping Bingo find her big girl voice because she
wants to be in there and play just like big sister,
but she's got to be treated a little more gently
so she has that big girl voice.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I thought it was cute how Bandit still played with
the girls even though he did have to go and
do his work, but he still ended up playing with them.
Speaker 4: Anyways.
Speaker 3: I ended up doing that with you guys a lot
when I was working from home, especially when everything was
locked down and I was it support here and at
work remotely. Good times, better you than me. One thing
I was thinking about Bandit's job is what archaeologist, right,
And he's got all these things in his office at home.
And I remember when we talked about this before, we
were saying that he had these dinosaur bones in his office,
but he's not a palaeontologist. He's an archaeologist, which is
the study of past civilization.
Speaker 4: Okay, those are okay, those.
Speaker 3: Were dog bones in his office.
Speaker 4: Oh oh my, I did not pay attention to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's what archaeology is. It's uncovering the civilizations
of the past, not the animals of the past.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome. And speaking of
things that we think are awesome, Henry, what should we
do next?
Speaker 2: The halouts Okay, listen, everyone has to clap and go
whoa yet?
Speaker 3: All right, that's awesome, got it right? We have the
best fans ever. We appreciate you guys so so much
with the comments, the five star reviews, the emails, the
voice messages. We can't possibly possibly thank you enough.
Speaker 4: We sure can't.
Speaker 5: You guys are fantastic and we just were so thankful
that you love the show and we should be giving
you guys five star reviews.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some of the comments on Spotify.
We heard from day David Harper, Emmy Tilly who wants
to say happy birthday to her sister Gwenn. Happy birthday, Gwynn.
Speaker 2: Happy Birthday Gwynn.
Speaker 3: We heard from someone whose username is one ex zero
h something something. We heard from Summer Piper, someone whose
username is party Cappy Bara. Is that your account?
Speaker 4: It is not that you know.
Speaker 3: We heard from dude too vv Daisy, who was saying
that she misses some of Henry's wild lessons. Learned that
when he was younger, he would come up with during
the episodes. We might have to get a compilation reel
of those going.
Speaker 4: Oh, that would be fun.
Speaker 3: We heard from Alex and his weekly report of things
you may have missed in the Blue episodes. You guys
need to head to the comments on Spotify and check
them out. We heard from our friend Julia, Tony Puppy
Dog Girl, Mikhayla, Travis Hope, Luella Corlai, and someone who's
user name is music Lover. They just had a birthday
and their sister's birthday is coming right up. Well, happy birthday, guys.
Speaker 5: I hope you had a great birthday and I hope
your sister will have one too.
Speaker 3: We got some emails. We heard from Keona and Zamora.
They like Amanda and Stella.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3: We heard from Skippy, We heard from Sophie and Ralph,
and we got a voice message from Harper Hey, Denise
the Healers.
Speaker 2: My name is Harper, and I'm going to play for
you on my trumpet, the boom Stam song. Hope you
like it.
Speaker 3: Great job, Harper, Yeah that was awesome, awesome work. Now,
you guys listening didn't get to hear the whole thing,
but we did and it was excellent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not really good.
Speaker 3: We got an email from Leah, who listens with her
mom at bedtime and has a birthday coming up straight
away and she likes Amanda the best.
Speaker 5: Oh well, thank you, Leiah, and I hope you have
a happy birthday.
Speaker 3: And last, but definitely not least, we got a voice
message from our friend Brendan.
Speaker 6: Greetings, dinner with the Healers. This is your friend Brendon
speaking to you once again. So this time I have
a very good, interesting moment from Bluie's big play, and
it's a very specific moment that I wanted to share
with you.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Hi, Blue.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying sorry to Bingo.
Speaker 4: Okay, she my dad stop playing.
Speaker 1: Plus, I was being a sister worth copying.
Speaker 2: I really was.
Speaker 1: I know you were, but you've still upset her. I'm
the one that should be upset she should say sorry
to me.
Speaker 6: Hm, well, Bluie, I have to say that I know
you were being a big sister worth copying to Bingo.
Oh gosh, I've seen to be lost for words here, Amanda.
Would you mind giving me a helping hand if you
please talk to you can soon?
Speaker 4: Bye bye, Brendan.
Speaker 5: I'm going to try my best to help out here.
We'll see what happens. So what I think is that
Blue has to learn that being right in this situation
isn't always the right answer. And in this situation, she
needs to understand that Bingo is upset, and I think
Bluie needs to apologize to her. I hope that helps
and keep sending us more clips. I always enjoy hearing
from you, we all do.
Speaker 3: I forgot that Blue's big play is now on Disney
Plus so that people, yeah can see it like we
did before when we watched it on Australia's ABC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sure is.
Speaker 3: And Brendan, yes, thank you so much. In this particular spot, Yeah,
Bluie knowing she's right isn't what is important here. Yeah,
And sometimes that's tough to get. Bingo's just a little
kid and she's trying her best. And Bluie has to
give her a little bit of grace there, But I
understand it. Big kids have a right to be frustrated
by their siblings too. That's just totally normal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just how siblings work.
Speaker 3: One thing I want to say is Brendan, you are awesome.
Thank you for sending us voice messages and I love
that you loved the thing I did where I added
the two vocal notes to you and now it's a
permanent part of the outro of the show.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we love it.
Speaker 3: It's so good. You're awesome, you sure are. And we
want to thank everybody who listens, who gives us five
star reviews, comments on the episodes, and sends us emails
and voice messages. It means the world to us, It
really does. When we started this podcast, and we never
dreamt that people would embrace it the way they have
and it just blows our minds. And you guys are
the absolute best.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 5: I mean people, we get messages from people from all
over and it's just it's really crazy in a very
good way. It's it's very surprising to me and we
just were so happy that you guys love the show.
Speaker 3: Well, guys, until next time we are out of here.
Speaker 4: Bye guys, Bye bye once again,
