Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember when I said it Dad. He would

Speaker 4: would be funny if I said on the podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty good. I do, guys, behind the scenes,
Speaker 3: when we're sitting here, I always say so. In this episode,
Speaker 3: they're all dancing, and then I hear a lot of this,
Speaker 3: which is that's probably fair. We got an email from Aubrey, Alana, Jonah,
Speaker 3: and Zoe. We want to wish a big, happy belated

Speaker 3: Well, guys, we just got done watching The Decider.
Speaker 7: Welcome back to The Decider.
Speaker 3: It is win at Tit to nine, Stella. Could you
Speaker 3: tell us what is going on? At the beginning of
Speaker 3: this episode.
Speaker 4: Bandit, Bluie and Bingo are getting ready to watch a
Speaker 4: sports game and Pat, Lucky and Chucky come over to
Speaker 4: watch it.
Speaker 3: With them exactly and do you remember what is this
Speaker 3: particular match called, Stella?
Speaker 4: The Decider?
Speaker 3: Very good? Now, where is Chili? Chili is at the
Speaker 3: game right because Frisky got tickets, Henry. What sport are
Speaker 3: they playing?
Speaker 4: They're playing rugby.
Speaker 3: And the Decider. Some of my friends from Australia had
Speaker 3: to tell me how this worked because I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know very much about rugby, but the Decider.
Speaker 3: This is called the State of Origin match and it
Speaker 3: is like All Star Baseball where it's players from different
Speaker 3: teams come together to represent their state. And you have
Speaker 3: the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. Where
Speaker 3: do the healers live? What state are they in? Do
Speaker 3: you guys know Queensland. Very good because they live in Brisbane, right,
Speaker 3: which is in Queensland? Yes, awesome? Now what color is
Speaker 3: Queensland Maroon? Oh yeah, comrade again maroon?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 3: Henry Bingo says that she gets to stay up late
Speaker 3: to watch. Why is she gonna stay up so late?
Speaker 4: Bingo's gonna stay up so late because Chili's gonna try
Speaker 4: to wave at her well if the camera is on.
Speaker 3: Her, right, if she shows up on camera during the game,
Speaker 3: She's gonna wave at Bingo, and Bingo's positive that Chili's
Speaker 3: gonna be able to do that, but Bandit says, I'm
Speaker 3: sure she'll try her best. Amanda, where is Pat's wife Janelle?
Speaker 2: Janelle is at home because she is rooting for the
Speaker 2: opposite team of the Maroons. She is rooting for the
Speaker 2: Blue because they are from where she grew up.
Speaker 3: That's right, she's rooting for the Blues, so she's from
Speaker 3: New South Wales. Blue asked Chucky, which is Lucky's little brother,
Speaker 3: what team he's on? Stella? What did Chucky tell Bluie?
Speaker 4: He said that he couldn't really decide what team he
Speaker 4: wanted since his dad was on one team and his
Speaker 4: mom was on the other but he also said that
Speaker 4: his parents said he could pick whichever team he wanted.
Speaker 3: All the kids are excited for one of the teams
Speaker 3: to score because of what.
Speaker 2: Amanda, because that's when the grown ups dance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Queensland makes it into the end zone, or
Speaker 3: at least that's what we call it in football. Maybe
Speaker 3: it's called something else. But what happens, Amanda.
Speaker 2: They thought that the Maroon team scored, but the ref
Speaker 2: said that it was no good.
Speaker 3: Yep, no try. And Janelle has some words to say
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 1: There you go, no try, no try.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Watch you all the chicks, Henry.
Speaker 3: As the game goes on, who gets.
Speaker 4: In the lead the Blues?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And who is happy about that?
Speaker 4: Janelle?
Speaker 3: And since Janelle's happy, Chucky is happy. He likes seeing
Speaker 3: his mom happy. What do Chucky and Bluie decide to do? Henry?
Speaker 4: They decide to go over to Janelle so then they
Speaker 4: could watch the game with her.
Speaker 3: Right, do you remember why they wanted.
Speaker 4: To because there's more dancing.
Speaker 3: Right, The Blues are scoring more often and Janelle is
Speaker 3: dancing to celebrate. Janelle's not one hundred percent sure what
Speaker 3: to do with blue being there?
Speaker 1: Can we watch the game with you?
Speaker 4: It's more dancing well, Fluey, I wouldn't normally be happy
Speaker 4: with the marine supporter, but I'll allow it.
Speaker 3: Stella. What happens next?
Speaker 4: The Blue team starts yelling across the yard at the
Speaker 4: Maroon team.
Speaker 5: Why Bluey, what do you think you're doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They are being salty with each other. Queensland scores
Speaker 3: and it's halftime. We see Bingo. She hasn't gotten waived
Speaker 3: at by mom yet and what's going on with her? Stella?
Speaker 4: She's trying to fall asleep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's so sleepy, she's covered up on the floor.
Speaker 3: Chucky is really struggling on what team he wants to
Speaker 3: root for. Amanda, what did he say?
Speaker 2: He said that when the blue team scores, it makes
Speaker 2: mom happy, but when the Maroon team scores, it makes
Speaker 2: dad the happy. And when one parent is happy, the
Speaker 2: other one is sad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a tough spot to be in. And
Speaker 3: he doesn't know what he's gonna do. Chucky is trying
Speaker 3: to decide and his mom asks him who is he
Speaker 3: gonna watch with Henry? Do you remember what Janelle called
Speaker 3: Chucky chuckles? Yeah? Well, Lucky says that Chucky has to
Speaker 3: choose a.
Speaker 2: Chuckle, Who's he gonna keep watching a bit with me
Speaker 2: and a bit with your dad?
Speaker 1: No, he has to choose one side. Why because you
Speaker 1: can't keep changing.
Speaker 3: He can if he wants to, Lucky, But that's not fair.
Speaker 3: You do whatever you want, sweetheart, Stella. What does Janelle
Speaker 3: say when Chucky decides to go with the Maroons?
Speaker 4: She tells him good luck, but not too much, but
Speaker 4: you can tell that she's clearly upset.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she is sad, Amanda. How does the game go?
Speaker 2: Well? Unfortunately for Janelle, the Blue team lost in the
Speaker 2: Maroon team won, and we see after the game is over,
Speaker 2: Janelle turns off the TV and turns off the lights
Speaker 2: and is heading out of the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chucky sees his mom being sad and it really
Speaker 3: makes him feel bad. And while Queensland is celebrating and
Speaker 3: living it up. What happens on the tv? Amanda?
Speaker 2: We see the camera at the game feature Trixie frisky,
Speaker 2: and there's Mom and Bingo wakes up just in time
Speaker 2: to see Mom wave and she gives her a little
Speaker 2: wave back before closing her eyes again and going back
Speaker 2: to sleep.
Speaker 3: Oh it wasn't that cute.
Speaker 2: She was so tired, Henry.
Speaker 3: What happens after that?
Speaker 4: It's a whole different day and there's a new match
Speaker 4: between two different teams.
Speaker 3: And Chucky is super excited. And why is that?
Speaker 4: Because there's a gold team and all of them are
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 3: Yet both of his parents and Blooie and Bengo and
Speaker 3: the whole Healer family.
Speaker 4: What are those ding dongs doing out there?
Speaker 3: Guys? If you hear what sounds like a herd of
Speaker 3: ponies running around, our dogs are upstairs going bonkers.
Speaker 2: It sounds like.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy for Chucky, But I'm also super happy
Speaker 3: for Janelle at this point, because I bet that was
Speaker 3: really tough for her to be by herself over there.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was to.
Speaker 3: Not only see her team lose, but to be alone
Speaker 3: like that. Everybody's excited that they're all on the Gold
Speaker 3: team except you and Mit McKenzie.
Speaker 1: You got that, Gunny.
Speaker 4: We gotta.
Speaker 3: Mackenzie's family. They're rooting for the Kiwi's and boy, oh boy,
Speaker 3: these people are salty, salty sports fans. Stella, do you
Speaker 3: get like that about sports? No, your main sport is chess, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Whenever you're at a chess match. Do you always hope
Speaker 3: that you'll look over and see mom over there on
Speaker 3: the side of the room when you're doing a match
Speaker 3: and she's going, yeah.
Speaker 8: Stella, No, because number one, that'd be really distracting, and
Speaker 8: number two, you guys will probably get asked to leave.
Speaker 3: That would be pretty funny.
Speaker 4: Though you have to be quite chess. The chess players
Speaker 4: know the chess players must concentrate, of course.
Speaker 3: I think that would be impossible. And that was the episode, Henry,
Speaker 3: Did we miss anything?
Speaker 4: Actually we did forget something. We forgot to mention how
Speaker 4: happy they were when the pizza arrived at the Healer's
Speaker 4: house during halftime.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they were really stoked on that, weren't they.
Speaker 4: You know what, I think we should get some pizza now.
Speaker 3: Maybe we should. Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 2: Did we learn anything today, Amanda?
Speaker 3: Could you tell us what were we supposed to learn today?
Speaker 2: I think what we were supposed to learn is that
Speaker 2: it's important for us to be supportive of each other
Speaker 2: and our families. Even though Pat and Janelle were rooting
Speaker 2: for different teams, they for the most part were being
Speaker 2: pretty kind with each other about whose team was better
Speaker 2: and everything. But we see at the end of the episode,
Speaker 2: they're all rooting for the same team, and it seems
Speaker 2: to make every happier. So I think we need to
Speaker 2: be respectful of each other's feelings and come together and
Speaker 2: support each other.
Speaker 3: What about you, Stella, do you have anything?
Speaker 4: I actually don't. Henry same here, I don't have anything.
Speaker 3: This is a tricky one and I think there are
Speaker 3: a lot of layers to this that we could look at.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of comparisons you could make to things
Speaker 3: that families might go through, not just sports where mom
Speaker 3: and dad are on opposite sides of an issue, for example,
Speaker 3: in the case of divorce or something like that, where
Speaker 3: the kids are in the middle. And Pat and Janelle
Speaker 3: did a good job of not forcing their kids to
Speaker 3: take one side or the other. And that was tough though,
Speaker 3: because like an other circumstances, both boys see their parents
Speaker 3: feeling sad when the other one is happy and vice versa.
Speaker 3: So them trying to find their way through that was
Speaker 3: really tough. And that can be the same with lots
Speaker 3: of things, whether it's religion or politics or anything else.
Speaker 3: Those kinds of things can be very dividing amongst families
Speaker 3: or groups of friends. And that sort of thing, and
Speaker 3: when it stops being good natured and can move toward
Speaker 3: being mean, that's when things can really get out of hand,
Speaker 3: and in this particular instance, they did a good job
Speaker 3: of navigating that. And the tough thing though for Janelle
Speaker 3: is that the teams are at such odds with each
Speaker 3: other that they couldn't even watch the game in the
Speaker 3: same house. They're watching the same game, but they had
Speaker 3: to stay separate because they couldn't bear seeing somebody else
Speaker 3: root for the opposite team. So it's tricky to find
Speaker 3: a spot for the kids to feel safe, and when
Speaker 3: it looks like they have to choose between their parents.
Speaker 2: That's very well put. It was hard for me to
Speaker 2: describe what I thought the lesson was, and that's yeah,
Speaker 2: you nailed it, and I don't.
Speaker 3: Want to put too much onto it. Some of that
Speaker 3: kid is pretty heavy, but I think that it was
Speaker 3: a really cool way to deal with those types of
Speaker 3: issues in a format like this. And for parents, when
Speaker 3: you're talking to your young kids, being able to relate
Speaker 3: to them at a level like this, there's a real
Speaker 3: fine line to walk and it can be tricky, and
Speaker 3: I think the show handled it with a lot of grace,
Speaker 3: and I think the characters did as well. But boy,
Speaker 3: it sure did make me happy to see them all
Speaker 3: together absolutely at the end, and it was nice to
Speaker 3: see the good natured ribbing that Mackenzie's family was giving
Speaker 3: the Healers pulling up outside of their house, yelling and carrying.
Speaker 2: On poor Mackenzie. McKenzie was like, what is going on here?
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it's easy for kids to kind of
Speaker 3: get left in the middle like that too, but it
Speaker 3: was all in good fun this episode. Does anyone have
Speaker 3: any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4: Yes, Henry, I think that this episode is a good one.
Speaker 4: I like the episode and that's it.
Speaker 2: I liked seeing the two families hanging out together and
Speaker 2: having fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like they were having a blast. And
Speaker 3: I was just saying in our previous episode that I
Speaker 3: miss Pat being around all.
Speaker 2: The time, right, and there he is, there he is.
Speaker 3: He is the best.
Speaker 4: I thought it was nice to see Chucky on the
Speaker 4: show since we usually don't see him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is cool to see the other characters in
Speaker 3: blue and hopefully as more episodes of Bluey come out
Speaker 3: will see more of those characters. One thing I wanted
Speaker 3: to add is our friends at the Bluey's Brisbane Podcast.
Speaker 3: Great podcast by the way, since Bluey takes place in
Speaker 3: Brisbane and they're in Brisbane, they talk about the realities
Speaker 3: of the city in the show and things you can
Speaker 3: go do when you visit there to see the places
Speaker 3: they talk about in blue They did a really cool
Speaker 3: episode where they talked to Dan Brumm, who is the
Speaker 3: sound designer for the show, and they actually had famous
Speaker 3: sportscasters doing the announcer voices in this.
Speaker 2: Well, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So people who are watching this episode who live there, huh.
Speaker 3: It feels so real to him because they're watching Queensland
Speaker 3: and New South Wales play and they're hearing an announcer's
Speaker 3: voice who's the legitouncer from those games when they've watched
Speaker 3: them on TV. It would be like us hearing somebody
Speaker 3: like John Madden or Harry Carey or something like that
Speaker 3: in a show like this, somebody who we've heard do
Speaker 3: famous sports commentary.
Speaker 2: That's pretty Yeah, that is cool. I like that. Neat.
Speaker 3: Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome and until next time,
Speaker 3: we are out of here.
Speaker 4: Bye guys, Bye bye.
