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 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 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 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 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 Oh yeah, she was done for sure. 54 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.120 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 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 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 Yeah, that's a good idea for her water fountain. 75 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.720 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Muffin got so dizzy that she fell on the ground. 135 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:48.000 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 Maybe like four or five. 140 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.600 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 Yeah, I can totally hear you saying that. 144 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.279 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 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 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 She said, why can't I just do this the first time? 154 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.799 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 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 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 Bandit tells Blue to wait and see what happens with it. 172 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.159 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 I think he was wanting Blue to learn a lesson. 177 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:24.039 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 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 Amanda, what is Bingo doing. 192 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.879 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 In the meanwhile, Henry, we see Muffin. What is she doing? 198 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:52.360 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 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 That's a good idea. 209 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.960 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 Bentley gets on to the monkey bars, Yeah. 214 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.159 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 Probably. 221 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:13.919 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 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 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 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 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 Nope? I don't think so. 243 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.039 Well, you know what it's time for. 244 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.240 Did we learn anything today? 245 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.919 Could anyone tell us? What did you learn today? 246 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.200 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 Anyways, Yeah, I agree with that. Anybody have anything else? 249 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.960 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 What about you, Henry? 253 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.600 I agree with Mom and still about it. 254 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.480 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 I agree, I didn't think of it like that. 269 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.240 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Here raising a nation of squibs. 315 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.759 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 Oh come on. 319 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.519 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 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 Told her, no, no, you didn't. 328 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.920 You're right, I didn't, Amanda. 329 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.799 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 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 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 Nobody's business that pretty well. 342 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.440 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 As always, I like seeing Muffin in this episode. 351 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.880 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 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 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? Would you just go this is unacceptable? No, Stella, 359 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.920 this is unacceptable. 360 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:03.799 I don't want to. 361 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.359 What about you, Hennery, you have anything? 362 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.880 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 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 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 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 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 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 You should write a parenting. 394 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:51.680 Book, Bandit should. 395 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:52.200 Yeah. 396 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:59.640 Yeah, Well, guys, we think Bluuie is awesome. And speaking 397 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.720 of things that we think are awesome, Henry, what should 398 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.160 we do next? The howl outs, Okay, listen up. 399 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.359 Everyone has to clap and go whoa yeah, all right, 400 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.359 that's awesome. 401 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.000
