We really appreciate you so much. 29 00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: Speaking of things that we think are awesome. We just 30 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:07,400 got done rewatching bike. You sure you don't want some help? No, Stella, 31 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,879 could you tell us what was going on? At the 32 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:11,800 beginning of this episode. 33 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:16,039 Speaker 3: Louie was at the park riding her bike and she 34 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 just couldn't get the hang of it, and she got 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,240 upset and sat down and asked, why can't I just 36 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,400 get this on the first try? So she starts sitting 37 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:31,599 with Bandit and he started pointing out that Bingo was 38 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,080 trying to get a drink of water from the water fountain, 39 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,599 but she can't press the button and then get to 40 00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:38,639 the water in time. 41 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: When Bandit sees Blue struggling trying to ride her bike, 42 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,680 he asked her if she's sure she doesn't want some help, 43 00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,800 and what does she tell him? Stella, She says no, 44 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:54,439 she wants to do it herself, and when she's fed up, 45 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,039 she does say why can't I do it straight away? 46 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,879 And Bandit told her that's not how the world works. 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,879 And Amanda, what did Blue say to that? 48 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 4: She said, the world is silly, and Bandit said he 49 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:09,400 had to agree with her there. 50 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she's onto something. She says, she's never 51 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,520 riding that bike again. Does that seem like where she 52 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,560 was at with at Amanda? 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,199 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she was done for sure. 54 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: When she starts looking around at what some of the 55 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,319 littler kids are doing, she sees Bingo trying to get 56 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240 a drink out of the fountain. Like Stella mentioned Amanda, 57 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,520 what's happening with Bingo? 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: Well, Bingo pushes the button for the water fountain to 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,039 come on, but she's too short to actually reach up 60 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,520 and get the water, so she pushes a button for 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400 the water to come on, and then she runs around 62 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,960 to the other side of it, and she's trying to 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,800 climb up the water fountain to get a drink of 64 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080 the water. But by the time she gets up to 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,439 the fountain where the water is, the water starts to 66 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,039 go back and she misses her drink. 67 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: Blue mentions that the button is on. Pressing is what 68 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:04,120 she calls it. It's one of those where it's a 69 00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,639 valve when you push it down, it's got spring tension 70 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,319 and the hydraulic action of the water holds it in 71 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,800 for a predetermined period of time, and it slowly comes 72 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,680 out to shut itself off so that people don't just 73 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:17,000 leave it running all the time. 74 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good idea for her water fountain. 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: And she gets so close, doesn't she, Henry, Yeah, she does. 76 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,399 I think that was making her more frustrated. The fact 77 00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,279 that she would get so close. It would have almost 78 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,959 been easier for her to take if it just wasn't 79 00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:34,240 even remotely a possibility. 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you're right about that, Dad. I would 81 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,480 go insane if that kept happening to me over and 82 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:42,360 over again. 83 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a lot to take, wouldn't it. 84 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:50,040 They see another little having problems, Henry, Who is it 85 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,360 and what are they trying to do? 86 00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: They saw Bentley and she was having a problem of 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,800 getting to the monkey bars. 88 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: Those were way over her head, weren't they. Yeah, she 89 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,600 wanted to get up there so bad. I remember feeling 90 00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:06,120 like that when I was a kid, and thinking, me 91 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,800 being big enough to reach these is never going to happen. 92 00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,800 That's a million years from now. And while she was 93 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,399 up there, Chloe went straight across like it was no 94 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,000 big deal, and poor Bentley had to watch that go on. 95 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,560 We see Stella's favorite character finishing her water bottle. Stella, 96 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:26,839 what happens with Muffin? 97 00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: Muffin just finished her water bottle and she's going to 98 00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,639 put it in her backpack. So she puts it in 99 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,240 her backpack, ends ups it up and she's able to 100 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560 get it on one arm, but she just can't seem 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,279 to get the other strap on her other arm. 102 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,759 Speaker 2: She's sure trying though. In the meanwhile, we see Bingo 103 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,319 and she's trying to climb up the back of the 104 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,199 fountain again. What ends up happening? 105 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,759 Speaker 3: Stella, Banda and Bluie are cheering Bingo on, but she 106 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680 ends up sliding down and not being able to get 107 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,600 the water in time. 108 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,759 Speaker 2: She was so close. I mean that time, so close, 109 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,079 and I would think as a dad, it would be 110 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,720 hard for me to sit and watch my kid trying 111 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,079 to do that without wanting to go over straight away 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,519 and help them. But Benda was doing the right thing. 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,439 This is how you learn and adapt and figure out 114 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,319 how to do things on your own. Bentley is going 115 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:28,839 to make another go at the monkey bars. What does 116 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:30,439 she do? Amanda? 117 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 4: This time, Bentley takes a run at the bars and 118 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,759 jumps up, but she still just can't reach them. She's 119 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,279 having such a hard time and she's trying so so hard. 120 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, she lands right in a dirt and she's getting upset. 121 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,759 I know I would have been when I was a 122 00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:58,160 little kid like that, falling down trying so hard. What's 123 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,720 Muffin got going on? Amanda? 124 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: Now we see Muffin running round and round and round 125 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,480 in circles, trying her best to get her arm through 126 00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:13,519 that other strap on her backpack. I would have ended 127 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,399 up being dizzy as can be if I did that. 128 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,000 But she was really trying her hardest, going around and 129 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,240 round around, and she still could not quite get that 130 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:23,199 strap on her back. 131 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,439 Speaker 2: Bluie was trying to give her advice from over on 132 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,519 the bench, going, no, Muffin, don't spin the straps right there. 133 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:33,279 But Muffin did get pretty dizzy, Henry, what happens to her? 134 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,439 Speaker 3: Muffin got so dizzy that she fell on the ground. 135 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: And Bandit said, oh boy, here comes the meltdown. Come 136 00:07:51,800 --> 00:08:05,199 you have got? That was a classic Muffin rant stella. 137 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,439 Where would you rank that in muffins like top ten 138 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,040 tantra moments. 139 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,399 Speaker 3: Maybe like four or five. 140 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's had some pretty Roughence I, for some reason, 141 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,720 am really drawn to that this is unacceptable, because that's 142 00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:23,680 exactly what I would say right now. 143 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can totally hear you saying that. 144 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,279 Speaker 2: Well, Stella. We cut back over to Bentley. She's trying again, 145 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,120 and what happens with her? 146 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,759 Speaker 3: She decides to start running and then jump up to 147 00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,320 grab the monkey bars. But when she does that, instead 148 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,200 of grabbing them to the monkey bars, she falls on 149 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,679 the ground. 150 00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, she falls, and you actually see a tear in 151 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,879 her eye, and she said something in particular. Do you 152 00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:54,720 remember what it was? 153 00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: She said, why can't I just do this the first time? 154 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,799 Speaker 2: Yeah? Why can't I do this straight away? And Blue 155 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,360 mentions that that's exactly what she said when she was 156 00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:11,840 having trouble with her bike. We see Bingo over at 157 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,639 the water fountain and she's pretty upset, Amanda, What is 158 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,200 she doing? 159 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,159 Speaker 4: Bingo tries again to get another drink of water, and 160 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:24,120 again she fails, even though she tries so hard, and 161 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,440 she gets so upset about it. She says, I just 162 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,200 can't do it and I'm never going to get to 163 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,200 drink water again. Well, then the next thing we know, 164 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,000 we see her curling up into a ball underneath the 165 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,000 water fountain, and she's so upset and she's just given 166 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,639 up for now, and. 167 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,639 Speaker 2: Blue remarks that I curled up in a ball too 168 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:52,000 when I was having trouble with my bike. Bloe wants 169 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:56,759 to go and help Bingo. But Henry, what does Bandit 170 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,480 tell her to do? 171 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: Bandit tells Blue to wait and see what happens with it. 172 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, he sees these kids. Do you think he was 173 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,679 wanting Blue to learn a lesson from what he was 174 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600 trying to show her or was it really just about 175 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120 letting Bingo and the other kids do their thing. 176 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: I think he was wanting Blue to learn a lesson. 177 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,039 Speaker 2: I think so too. We see each kid staring their 178 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,039 problem down and really trying to think about what to do. 179 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,679 And in the meanwhile, the music kicks in and we 180 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,480 hear a theme and it's like this halftime feel with 181 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,840 a beat, and it's a classical theme by Beethoven. Does 182 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:43,240 anybody remember what it was? Yes, Henry, isn't it called 183 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,200 Ode to Joy Very Good Beethoven's ninth And it was 184 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:55,039 that halftime feel, real slow, duh duh, and it had 185 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,720 the little drum beat going and we see them starting 186 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:05,360 to try their things. Stella, what happens with Bentley. 187 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:13,399 Speaker 3: Bentley is upset and starts holding onto the pillar type 188 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,120 thing that connects to the monkey bar. And while she's upset, 189 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,919 she actually pays attention to it and realizes that she 190 00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:23,200 could climb up on that. 191 00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:25,759 Speaker 2: Amanda, what is Bingo doing. 192 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,879 Speaker 4: Bingo gets out from under the water fountain and she 193 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,799 takes a look at the water fountain again and she 194 00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:36,320 decides to push on the water fountain and the water's 195 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,200 coming out and she just holds onto it. She's just 196 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,519 pushing with all her little might. 197 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:46,159 Speaker 2: In the meanwhile, Henry, we see Muffin. What is she doing? 198 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: Muffin is laying down and she starts pushing herself towards 199 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120 the backpacks and she can slide into it so she 200 00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:55,759 can get it on. 201 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's on her back And at first I thought 202 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240 she's trying to sneak up on the backpack and surprise it. 203 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,320 But yeah, my surprise. Yeah, she's sliding toward it on 204 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,000 her back. And I thought that Bingo was trying to 205 00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,399 hold the button down, thinking the longer she held it, 206 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440 the longer it would last while she was trying to 207 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:16,279 get up there. 208 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,399 Speaker 4: That's a good idea. 209 00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: Well, we see Bentley getting ready to do her thing, 210 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,080 and Bandon and Bluie are cheering her on. They're all 211 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,600 so emotionally invested in what is going on with these kids? 212 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:33,840 And Stella? What does Bentley do? 213 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 3: Bentley gets on to the monkey bars, Yeah. 214 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,159 Speaker 2: She doesn't, and they were so happy for I love that. 215 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,559 But getting up there wasn't all it was cracked up 216 00:12:47,600 --> 00:13:00,519 to be. To get down now, Stella, has that ever 217 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,600 happened to you? When you try and try to get 218 00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:04,919 something and then once you do, you're like, well, this 219 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,519 isn't as great as I thought it would be. 220 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,799 Speaker 3: Probably. 221 00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:13,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. So we've seen Muffin succeed, We've seen Bentley succeed, 222 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,799 and now we're left with Bingo Amanda. What is she doing? 223 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: She's pushing on the water fountain for the water to 224 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120 come out, and now she has been pushing on it 225 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,679 for so long that the water is coming out and 226 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,240 spilling over the water fountain. And where does water go 227 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,720 after it spills out of the water fountain. It goes 228 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,799 on to the ground where she's been holding it for 229 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,639 so long that it has spilled out onto the ground 230 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:43,120 and formed a nice puddle which she can drink from. 231 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:51,039 Speaker 2: Banda and Blue are happy for yet torn over how 232 00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:58,120 she managed to get it. Oh God, it's less than ideal, 233 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:03,279 but it's still a wind nice fucking gout. All three 234 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,759 little kids managed to overcome their obstacles, and Banda and 235 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,320 Blue are sitting there just kind of enjoying the nature 236 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,440 and the silence. But it seems like Blue's got something 237 00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,279 on her mind. Henry, what happens? 238 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: Blue gets back up and she walks over to her bike. 239 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:25,000 She puts her helmet on as she tries again. 240 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:34,559 Speaker 2: Nice work, blooey. And that was the episode, Henry. Did 241 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,440 we miss anything? 242 00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: Nope? I don't think so. 243 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,039 Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's time for. 244 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 4: Did we learn anything today? 245 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,919 Speaker 2: Could anyone tell us? What did you learn today? 246 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: I think the lesson was that even if something seems hard, 247 00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:54,200 you shouldn't give up and you should keep trying. 248 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: Anyways, Yeah, I agree with that. Anybody have anything else? 249 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: I agree with Stella. I think the lesson I get 250 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,639 from this is to never give up and also to 251 00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:12,919 help cheer on our friends that are trying their hardest. 252 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:14,639 Speaker 2: What about you, Henry? 253 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: I agree with Mom and still about it. 254 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: Well, they both are quite wise. A couple of things 255 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,879 I would add to this the kids all thought outside 256 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:32,080 the box. They didn't give up on solving their problem, 257 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:35,360 but they also took a different look at how to 258 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,200 solve their problem. Each one of them did something seemingly unconventional. 259 00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:44,080 Muffin crawled on her back into her backpack instead of 260 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,279 trying to put it on standing up. Bentley climbed up 261 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,080 the frame of the monkey bars to grab a hold 262 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,519 of the rings, and bingo, just let the water pour 263 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,440 out of the fountain onto the ground. Maybe not the 264 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,080 most elegant solution, but it was definitely a solution that worked, 265 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,559 and it wasn't the quote unquote normal thing that you 266 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,320 would do in those situations. So thinking outside the box 267 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:15,559 when you're having trouble doing something, take another look at it. 268 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,279 Speaker 4: I agree, I didn't think of it like that. 269 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: Another thing, and we talked about this just a little 270 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,679 bit ago, was that as a parent, it can be 271 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,960 so tough to not rush in and help your kid immediately, 272 00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:34,879 especially if time is of the essence and you're needing 273 00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:37,120 to get out the door and they're trying to tie 274 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,080 their shoes. Let's use that as an example. Part of 275 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,600 you just wants to get it done so you can 276 00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:43,960 get out the door. And get in the car, right, 277 00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:46,639 But also you want to help them. You hate to 278 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:51,080 see your kids struggle, but that struggle isn't a real struggle. 279 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,919 It's part of learning, and you have to be able 280 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,440 to stand back and watch that happen. Right. 281 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:02,759 Speaker 4: And I totally understand what you're saying. And I know 282 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,119 there were probably so many times that with these kids 283 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:09,480 I have said here, let me just do it. Here, 284 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880 let me just do it, because yeah, you do kind 285 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,640 of get rushed on time and just the simplest things 286 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,720 that they should be learning that they can't quite do. 287 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:19,680 It's like it's just easier if you go ahead and 288 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,799 do it yourself, so you can, you know, get going 289 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,400 and get out the door. But yeah, it's hard to 290 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,680 not do things for them. 291 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be really tricky, but it's always great 292 00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:35,359 to see them succeed. And when you can cheer on 293 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,079 their victories along with them, just how good that feels 294 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,559 to you and to them all at the same time. 295 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,599 It really makes for a very sweet thing. 296 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it's it's wonderful to see them finally get 297 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,880 the hang of something and finally learn how to do 298 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,720 it themselves. 299 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 2: Stella and Henry, can you guys think of something that 300 00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:58,519 was a real challenge for you guys when you were 301 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:00,160 growing up from being a little. 302 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,599 Speaker 3: I think one of the hardest things that I had 303 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,160 to learn for me when I was younger was either 304 00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,640 tying my shoes or learning how to ride a bike. 305 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, those are both tricky, and the tough thing is 306 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,720 is now they make some pretty hip shoes for kids 307 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,960 that don't have laces that tie, so you can really 308 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,359 put off the inevitable. Suddenly, the next thing you know, 309 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,079 they're going off to college and you have to sit 310 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,319 them down and have the talk. I'm gonna show you 311 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,599 how to do this. First you make one rabbit ear 312 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,839 and then to make another and teach them how to 313 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,640 tie their shoes. 314 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 4: Here raising a nation of squibs. 315 00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:42,759 Speaker 3: So you're telling me that I learned how the time 316 00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:44,839 my shoes, but now there's just a bunch of cool 317 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,720 slip ons. 318 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 2: Oh come on. 319 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,519 Speaker 3: When I was younger, I went to learn how to 320 00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:54,400 roller skate, and learning how to do that was just 321 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,279 really hard. But I ended up and enjoin roller skating 322 00:18:58,319 --> 00:19:00,079 after I learned how to do it. 323 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: You actually picked up on that really quickly. I was 324 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,119 impressed because I remember I fell down a bunch at first, 325 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,279 and you didn't, and I was like, man, that's not fair. 326 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,079 Your mom wanted to push you down and I'm. 327 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 3: Told her, no, no, you didn't. 328 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 4: You're right, I didn't, Amanda. 329 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,799 Speaker 2: Do you remember anything in particular when we were watching 330 00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:26,559 the kids learn to do something that you really had 331 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,599 to stop yourself from intervening and helping them. 332 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,279 Speaker 4: I can't think of any specific thing off hand, but 333 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,960 I know there were probably several things. 334 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,559 Speaker 2: I think about, rinsing off the dishes at the sink. 335 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,960 Just give it to me, Just give it to me, 336 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,440 Just give it to me. Putting a Blu ray in 337 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160 the Blu ray player, Oh my gosh, just give it 338 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,839 to me. Now. One thing they didn't have trouble learning 339 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,880 at all was the remote control. They learned how to 340 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,400 work the TV. 341 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,759 Speaker 4: Nobody's business that pretty well. 342 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And like Henry with video games, that 343 00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:07,279 took all of about twenty seconds to get him pointed 344 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,440 in the right direction. And now he's the master, Yes 345 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:16,960 he is. He's making like the wise meditating monk. Look 346 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,920 over there, but you guys can't see him. And unfortunately, 347 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,160 because all these monks take a vow of silence, you 348 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,039 can't hear me, but oh, does anybody have any parting 349 00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:28,319 thoughts about the episode? 350 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,039 Speaker 3: As always, I like seeing Muffin in this episode. 351 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: It's funny because I almost want to call her Stella 352 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,200 when she comes up on the screen. 353 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,599 Speaker 4: Speaking of Muffin, I thought was really funny how Bandit said, 354 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,839 uh oh, here comes the tantrum or whatever he said 355 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,720 when he thought Muffin was gonna lose it. 356 00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:51,759 Speaker 2: Well, I mean you learn how somebody reacts to things, 357 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,079 and yeah, oh sure, yeah, Stella, would you do me 358 00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,359 one favor one time?

No, Stella, 359 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,920 this is unacceptable. 360 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,799 Speaker 3: I don't want to. 361 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: What about you, Hennery, you have anything? 362 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 3: I found Bannett's response to seeing Bingo drink water off 363 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,000 of the ground funny. 364 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty classic, and boy can I relate 365 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,799 to that. It's not ideal, but it's a win nonetheless. 366 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 4: But there again we question are they dogs or are 367 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,599 they people? Dogs drink out of bowls on the floor, 368 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,480 they drink out of water puddles. 369 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,039 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, but let me ask you this, if 370 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:41,279 one of our dogs was drinking out of a puddle 371 00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:43,440 on the ground, would you think it was gross? 372 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,319 Speaker 4: Oh? Point taking Okay, Yeah, he makes sense. Okay, all right, 373 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,599 but I mean some dogs do it. Some dogs I 374 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,440 just don't want ours to. 375 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:55,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, I said it a couple of times already. But 376 00:21:55,519 --> 00:22:00,440 I love seeing Bandit in his parenting style, the type 377 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,759 of dad that he is. He is calm and collected, 378 00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:08,599 and it's not done out of a lack of wanting 379 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,680 to pay attention to the kids. He's not just putting 380 00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:13,640 it off there they can figure it out so that 381 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200 he doesn't have to deal with it. He's doing it 382 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,799 so that they can succeed, so that they can learn. 383 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,759 Because we see in other episodes, for example, the one 384 00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:25,319 where the ice cream will taste the sweetest if you 385 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,759 earn it, it's the same kind of thing. Yeah, they 386 00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:30,400 could have picked Bengo up and got her a drink 387 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,200 of water, but her struggling her way through it and 388 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,079 nailing it probably felt so good to her, and he 389 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,720 was able to sit back and allow that to happen. 390 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,640 So it was done with like a calm, quiet strength 391 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,200 and out of a lot of love. I just thought 392 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,400 that was cool. I love Bandit so much. He's the best. 393 00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 4: You should write a parenting. 394 00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: Book, Bandit should. 395 00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 396 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, guys, we think Bluuie is awesome.
