Speaker 2: Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done
Speaker 2: rewatching Calypso clip side.
Speaker 1: Can please have a name from my village?
Speaker 5: Well, let's have a.
Speaker 2: Look, Stella. Could you tell us what was going on?
Speaker 2: At the beginning of this episode, all the.
Speaker 3: Kids were at the school and Calypso was telling them
Speaker 3: the story, and she was using these little characters and
Speaker 3: kind of acting out the story with backdrops and props
Speaker 3: and everything. And after she told her story, all the
Speaker 3: kids went to go and play at their own areas.
Speaker 3: Honey decided to go and build a village, Louie decided
Speaker 3: to go and start a shop, and all the other
Speaker 3: kids are doing.
Speaker 2: Their other things except for Pretzel. He didn't know what
Speaker 2: to do. He was tired and bored and didn't feel
Speaker 2: like doing much of anything, so he laid down on
Speaker 2: a rug right behind Calypso's desk. She was singing a
Speaker 2: really cool song. She has a very pretty voice.
Speaker 4: Yeah she does. It's very nice to listen to.
Speaker 2: Soothing to hear her voice. A few other times in
Speaker 2: the course of blooey episodes and it's pretty great. Honey
Speaker 2: wants a gnome for her village, Amanda, what's happening there.
Speaker 4: Honey goes to Calypso and asks for a nome for
Speaker 4: her village, and Calypso says, well, let's go take a
Speaker 4: look at your village first. They go over to where
Speaker 4: Honey has been building, and really there's not a whole
Speaker 4: lot going on just yet. She has a tree and
Speaker 4: one other thing there. Calypso explains to her that if
Speaker 4: she has a nome, the gnome is going to need
Speaker 4: someplace to sleep, so she should go ahead and build
Speaker 4: a place for the nome to sleep first, and she'll
Speaker 4: come back later and check on her progress. And then
Speaker 4: Calypso takes off to go check on the others.
Speaker 2: I was kind of curious, is why Calypso was busting
Speaker 2: her chops, like, no, you can't have this toy unless
Speaker 2: you build this better. But we see later kind of
Speaker 2: what her motivation was. But did it strike you as odd?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It did, because it seemed like even though Honey didn't
Speaker 4: have that much out there just yet, you know, she
Speaker 4: wasn't least trying.
Speaker 2: Henry Calypso goes to check on Bluie. What is she doing?
Speaker 3: Bluuie is running her fish and chips shop, but it's
Speaker 3: just chips. They're all out fish.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that you could have a fish
Speaker 2: and chip shop with no fish, but it's a fish
Speaker 2: and chip shop nonetheless, Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: I think somebody needs to get busy and be catching
Speaker 4: some fish.
Speaker 2: Let's not jump to the end just yet. Who is
Speaker 2: right next door to the shop.
Speaker 3: Henry, Chloe, Indy and Coco live next door in they're
Speaker 3: crammed in this tiny little house with their little babies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they each have a baby, and one of them
Speaker 2: I can't remember who now mentioned their baby's name, and
Speaker 2: I thought it was really interesting. Did you pick up
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: I think it was Roderick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that name. I thought it was really cool.
Speaker 2: But they are crowded in there, aren't they?
Speaker 3: Yeah they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them needs to move on out, It's
Speaker 2: what they said. Well conveniently enough, right next to there, Stella,
Speaker 2: Rusty is up to something and what is he doing.
Speaker 3: He is building a house with two stories in it,
Speaker 3: And Calypso told him that that was interesting because Indy
Speaker 3: was actually looking for a place to live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how advantageous, Stella. What was the next spot Calypso
Speaker 2: passed by?
Speaker 3: She passed by the terriers who were all a fort
Speaker 3: that they were guarding.
Speaker 2: What did they say They were Romans. Romans guarding their fort. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they look like they're taking it pretty seriously.
Speaker 4: I did like how Calypso when she approached them, she says, oh,
Speaker 4: you're building another fort.
Speaker 2: Listen, they know what they.
Speaker 4: Like exactly exactly. Yeah, it was just kind of fun.
Speaker 2: Amanda Honey approaches Calypso again about a nome. What happens?
Speaker 4: Honey asks Calypso if she could have the gnome now,
Speaker 4: and Calypso says, well, let's go take a look at
Speaker 4: your village. Well, she's added on just a little bit,
Speaker 4: but still not very much, and Calypso explains to her
Speaker 4: that the gnome is going to need a forest for
Speaker 4: her morning walk, so she has Honey start working on that.
Speaker 2: Bluie is busy ten in her shop even though she
Speaker 2: doesn't have any fish, and Andy is there and mentions
Speaker 2: that she's moving out but doesn't know to where. Henry
Speaker 2: she ends up talking to Rusty, what do they figure out.
Speaker 3: Rusty told Indy that she could rent the upstairs for
Speaker 3: ten dollar bucks, but Indy said that she didn't have
Speaker 3: any dollar bucks, so she went to ghost she could
Speaker 3: get a job at Bluey's Fish and chip shop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Rusty agreed to watch Polly while she was there.
Speaker 2: What did he ask Polly about? First thing?
Speaker 3: He asked Polly if she wanted to learn how to build.
Speaker 2: Fences, man, that would be a handy piece of knowledge
Speaker 2: to have, wouldn't it. Yeah, it would be Stella. Honey
Speaker 2: asked for a gnome again. What does Calypso ask her?
Speaker 3: Calypso tells her that she's doing really good on her village,
Speaker 3: but she also asks her what else would a gnome enjoy?
Speaker 2: I was starting to feel bad for Honey a little bit, thinking, man,
Speaker 2: just give her the gnome. What were you thinking? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was thinking Calypso, shit just gave her the gnome
Speaker 3: at first.
Speaker 2: It turns out there's a reason though, when it all
Speaker 2: comes around to the end. But I wasn't looking forward
Speaker 2: enough to be able to think that Andy makes enough
Speaker 2: money to pay for her rooms rent, and she also
Speaker 2: gets some chips to take home, which I thought was
Speaker 2: pretty nice. Rusty would like those. After a tough day
Speaker 2: of building the fence and watching Polly, the terriers are
Speaker 2: having trouble though, Amanda, what is their deal?
Speaker 4: The terriers are getting bored because they don't have anybody
Speaker 4: to protect right now. But Indy asked them if they
Speaker 4: would like some chips because they didn't have any fish,
Speaker 4: but she could bring them chips, and they asked if
Speaker 4: they could have enough chips for their whole army.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty tall order. I didn't even mean that
Speaker 2: as a joke, but a tall order. But yeah, for
Speaker 2: the whole army. She heads over to Bluey's and they
Speaker 2: are using something to be the bags of chips. Henry,
Speaker 2: what was it?
Speaker 3: They were using pillows?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a whole stack of them. In the meanwhile, Calypso
Speaker 2: is humming a song, and I thought this was really cool.
Speaker 2: I remember bringing this up the first time we talked
Speaker 2: about this episode a few years ago.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 2: The song Calypso is hum is what is called diegetic music,
Speaker 2: which means the people in the show hear the music.
Speaker 2: It's not the soundtrack. They hear it.
Speaker 4: The characters hear it, right, but it.
Speaker 2: Is also the soundtrack. It smooths right into like the
Speaker 2: orchestral part that we hear, so that even when Calypso's
Speaker 2: done humming, we're still hearing the same song, but now
Speaker 2: it's not diagetic, it's soundtrack.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, look at this.
Speaker 2: She goes to check on Honey and Henry. What has happened?
Speaker 3: Honey had built an entire village. It looks super cool
Speaker 3: and awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was breathtaking, and I love way the music
Speaker 2: cued against that, and the way like the camera shots
Speaker 2: were where what it focused on, and all the people.
Speaker 2: She really put a lot of effort and imagination into it,
Speaker 2: didn't she, Yeah, she did. You are awesome at building
Speaker 2: stuff like that, so Stella too. She doesn't do it
Speaker 2: as much these days, but really good at putting together
Speaker 2: a scene like that.
Speaker 4: They're good at using their imaginations.
Speaker 2: At this point, the terriers are having a problem main.
Speaker 1: Prejecting Moman is a little bit bulling. Maybe we would
Speaker 1: be invading woman.
Speaker 2: Maybe I was a little bit concerned hearing them say
Speaker 2: that right after we just saw Honey's beautiful village. Stella,
Speaker 2: what happens.
Speaker 3: Before they get the chance to go and invade something?
Speaker 3: They get called over to protect Honey's village because Indy
Speaker 3: is trying to go and give them their chips, but
Speaker 3: she can't see where she's going because of all the
Speaker 3: bags of chips she's holding, and she almost steps and
Speaker 3: falls onto Honey's village.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought for sure the whole thing was is
Speaker 2: that they were going to invade Honey's village.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was what was going to happen.
Speaker 4: I was feeling so like anxious watching that, don't you dare?
Speaker 2: Yeah, But they got to be part of the solution.
Speaker 2: They got to guard something and protect the village and
Speaker 2: protect Indy from getting hurt by falling into it. So
Speaker 2: everybody got their part. What was the formation that they
Speaker 2: used Stella to protect it?
Speaker 3: They used a tortois formation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they called it, where they were all
Speaker 2: tucked in behind their shields and they overlap like scales.
Speaker 4: Pretty clever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real tactic. By the way, way they
Speaker 2: got their chips, but there still wasn't any fish, but
Speaker 2: they were okay with that. Calypso's gone to sit down
Speaker 2: and there's one more thing going on, Amanda, what is it?
Speaker 4: Earlier we saw Pretzel being bored and he really didn't
Speaker 4: want to play. But now he is actually using the
Speaker 4: stick that Calypso had earlier. He's using it now and
Speaker 4: he is going fishing, and so Calypso told him that
Speaker 4: she has somebody to introduce him to, and that's the
Speaker 4: Fish and Chip stand.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She looks over and sees all the kids who
Speaker 2: had been doing their own thing, who are now all
Speaker 2: playing together. All of their different styles of play are
Speaker 2: integrated into one big unit where they're all still doing
Speaker 2: their own thing, but they're doing it as a community.
Speaker 2: And now she's getting Pretts involve too, without telling him
Speaker 2: go over there and play with those kids. I thought
Speaker 2: it was really good. And that's what she was trying
Speaker 2: to get Honey to do the whole time, was use
Speaker 2: her imagination and really think big and put effort into it.
Speaker 2: Because that's how their school works, is they use that
Speaker 2: type of play to learn.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, she's a very good teacher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was the episode, Henry. Did we forget anything?
Speaker 3: Nope? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 5: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 2: Could anyone tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 4: I think what I learned today is watching the style
Speaker 4: of teaching that Calypso was doing, where she was encouraging
Speaker 4: the kids to use their imaginations and as they did that,
Speaker 4: they ended up kind of all clicking together and playing together,
Speaker 4: and it made it more fun for everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was teaching them a lesson, but letting them
Speaker 2: figure it out on their own. Yeah as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and also keeping them from being separate entities and everybody
Speaker 2: playing together for kind of a greater common cause. Yeah,
Speaker 2: much like a community of people.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds right to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: This is one of those episodes where there doesn't seem
Speaker 2: to be like a very direct lesson, like be kind
Speaker 2: to others and stuff like that. But it was really
Speaker 2: cool to see. I like Calypso's demeanor. She seems so
Speaker 2: nice and calm, and she's firm and guiding, but in
Speaker 2: the kindest of ways.
Speaker 4: Yes she is.
Speaker 2: I bet she is an excellent teacher and that any
Speaker 2: kid who had a teacher like her at that age
Speaker 2: was pretty fortunate. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I agree with that. She does seem very kind and
Speaker 4: gentle that she is teaching the kids. You know, she's
Speaker 4: not just letting them do whatever. She's like you said,
Speaker 4: she's guiding them to make good choices.
Speaker 2: Well, like the thing with Honey, let's use as an example.
Speaker 2: I thought, Geez, Calypso, can't you just let the poor
Speaker 2: kid have the nome?
Speaker 4: Just want.
Speaker 2: Why you're being so gatekeepy about this? Just give her
Speaker 2: the nome to play with. But it was because she
Speaker 2: was prompting her to think bigger, get outside of herself
Speaker 2: and think about the village from the nome's perspective. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, that just hit me. She was wanting Honey
Speaker 2: to think about what the gnome would want and not
Speaker 2: what she wanted, which is kind of how they all
Speaker 2: ended up together. Well, what does this person need? I
Speaker 2: have this right that? I just blew my own mind
Speaker 2: right there? What the heck man?
Speaker 4: Nice?
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't think about it that way.
Speaker 2: Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4: I really liked this episode. It's still one of my favorites,
Speaker 4: I think three years later. I like seeing episodes with
Speaker 4: Calypso in it because, like we said, she is such
Speaker 4: a great teacher and just a great person, great character
Speaker 4: on the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: I like how we were able to see all the
Speaker 3: kids interact together in this episode because we don't like
Speaker 3: see that a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is neat when we have a wide breadth
Speaker 2: of characters together.
Speaker 3: I thought the terrier's fort was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was epic, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.
Speaker 2: Do you think they had trouble deciding if it was
Speaker 2: going to be a pillow for it or a blanket fort?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed this. I love the thing that I
Speaker 2: was talking about with the background music and the foreground
Speaker 2: music blending together like that. I thought that was really
Speaker 2: really neat. This is a super nerdy example for the parents.
Speaker 2: But there's a really cool thing in Back to the
Speaker 2: Future where once Marty's okay, they're playing the song Earth
Speaker 2: Angel and the orchestra comes in, and the orchestra's not
Speaker 2: there in the scene, the music that the kids are
Speaker 2: hearing in the dance becomes the soundtrack music behind. So
Speaker 2: any parents who love Back to the Future take a
Speaker 2: look at that the next time and you'll see what
Speaker 2: I mean. Expert expert composition there. Well, guys, we think
Speaker 2: Bluie is awesome. And speaking of things that we think
Speaker 2: are awesome, Henry, what should we do next?
Speaker 3: The how outs.
