Speaker 2: Keepy upy yuppy, Yeah, keepy uppy, keep.
Speaker 1: Up, Henry, could you tell us what was going on
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 4: At the beginning of the episode, Louie wakes up and
Speaker 4: she says, go more into her balloons. But then she
Speaker 4: looks at them and she says, I mean, go mor
Speaker 4: in to my last balloon. And then she goes downstairs
Speaker 4: and she sees Mom dropping Bingo on the couch, and
Speaker 4: she shows them her last balloon and then she says,
Speaker 4: fly birdie, and she lets it go and it flies
Speaker 4: around the room and then it lands on Mom's head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hits her right in the head. And before
Speaker 1: she let it go, she was letting it squeak out
Speaker 1: of the opening, and Bingo said it was saying good morning, Stella.
Speaker 1: Did Chili seem very thrilled about the balloon hitting her?
Speaker 4: She pretended to be mad about and then asked them
Speaker 4: if they thought it was funny. After that, she told
Speaker 4: them that she had a game that they could play,
Speaker 4: which was keepy Uppy?
Speaker 1: Amanda, What did she tell them about keepy Uppy?
Speaker 2: She told them that they just have to keep the
Speaker 2: balloon up off the ground.
Speaker 1: Bingo was pretty worried though about what would happen? Did
Speaker 1: you notice whenever she said it it had like the
Speaker 1: scary keyboard sound behind her voice?
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't, I didn't catch that.
Speaker 1: What happens?
Speaker 3: You think you thick down?
Speaker 1: That kind of reminded me of the classic Scooby Doo
Speaker 1: episodes back from when we were young, Amanda.
Speaker 2: Don't give away our age.
Speaker 1: Whenever they animated them on chisel with chisels on a stone,
Speaker 1: pet stop. Anyway, they start playing and it seems like
Speaker 1: it's going pretty well, but immediately they complained to mom
Speaker 1: about something. Amanda. What was it?
Speaker 2: They complained that she was making it too hot hard
Speaker 2: for them because when she would tap to keep the
Speaker 2: balloon up, it would tend to kind of go a
Speaker 2: little bit further away than when they tapped it. So
Speaker 2: she decided to let them play themselves, and she was
Speaker 2: going to go make some brecky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, breakfast sounds good right now? Do we have
Speaker 1: pancakes later? No? So much for that.
Speaker 2: I don't have any pancake mix. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The girls settle in and they are doing little short
Speaker 1: hits and it's made it easy, and Bingo says that
Speaker 1: she's a keepy uppy expert, Henry. What happens next with
Speaker 1: their game?
Speaker 4: Blue said that the game started to feel a little
Speaker 4: too easy, so she asked mom if she could make
Speaker 4: it hard again, but Mom said that she was too busy.
Speaker 3: And then Dad walked in.
Speaker 1: He acts like he doesn't know what it is they're
Speaker 1: wanting to do, and he decides he's going to do
Speaker 1: something else. Stella, what is it?
Speaker 4: He said that he was going to read the newspaper,
Speaker 4: so he picked up Bingo and held her upside down
Speaker 4: and pretended to read her like a newspaper.
Speaker 1: So and So is at it again. I love listening
Speaker 1: to him reading the paper. I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 1: That reminds me of exactly the kind of thing I
Speaker 1: would do to these kids. Honestly, I still would now
Speaker 1: if they weren't so big. They're too big for me
Speaker 1: to be picking up and flipping them all around like that.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: In the meanwhile, the balloon goes fly and Stella. Where
Speaker 1: does it land?
Speaker 3: It lands on top of a glass of orange juice.
Speaker 1: Perfectly balanced. I almost made a dad joke right there,
Speaker 1: perfectly balanced breakfast anyway, Sorry, Bluey wants to save Bingo
Speaker 1: from bandit. What happens? Amanda?
Speaker 2: Blue finally gets Bingo away from Dad, and Dad says, oh,
Speaker 2: so you want to read the paper now, And then
Speaker 2: he tells Bluie not to do the Sudoku puzzle.
Speaker 1: Something tells me he didn't really need to say that,
Speaker 1: you know. Bennett does something next that resonates with me
Speaker 1: because it's just the sort of thing that you and
Speaker 1: I do, Amanda. And that's when he picks up Bluie
Speaker 1: and keeps her from doing what she's trying to do,
Speaker 1: pretending that he's love and honor, saying all of these
Speaker 1: things about how they grow up so fast.
Speaker 2: Oh, dear Chuck.
Speaker 1: Stella and Henry. Have your mom and I done these
Speaker 1: sorts of things to you?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like whenever we're dropping you off at school and
Speaker 1: your mom would yell at you out the window.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, what.
Speaker 1: Kind of things would you holler at the kids whenever
Speaker 1: they were walking into school?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I would make sure that there
Speaker 2: was at least a teacher out there that could hear me,
Speaker 2: and then I would yell something like, bye, guys, have
Speaker 2: a great day, I miss you already, I can't wait
Speaker 2: to see you later.
Speaker 1: Or make good choices. Well, of course we want him
Speaker 1: to make good choices.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we do miss them, But it was really
Speaker 2: more about antagonizing them. It was more about embarrassing them,
Speaker 2: because that's part of my job as a parent.
Speaker 1: When we would both have fridays off, we would drop
Speaker 1: them off and be like, see you later, SyRS. Yeah, sorry, anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: bandit decides he's going to help the girls with their game,
Speaker 1: and he turns on a fan and off the balloon goes.
Speaker 1: And then he'd something that I don't think even I
Speaker 1: would do. Henry. What does he bring into.
Speaker 3: The house a leaf blower?
Speaker 1: Huh would you do that, Henry? No, not even for
Speaker 1: a gag. No. It blows into a room where all
Speaker 1: of their toys are at And what's happening with that, Henry.
Speaker 3: There are a bunch of toys on the floor and
Speaker 3: they're having a hard time gang through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really causing them problems. And I love that.
Speaker 1: One of the girls asked this question, is responsible?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, play all innocent bingo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2: Know who did that.
Speaker 3: He was probably Blooey.
Speaker 2: It was probably both of them.
Speaker 1: Right then, Bandit gives one of the best dad speeches ever.
Speaker 1: My mind, all these toys are flying around. Sure, I'm
Speaker 1: making it difficult to keep the Can you imagine how
Speaker 1: easy this would be if he tidied them all away? Stella,
Speaker 1: what was Bluey's take on Bandit's whole speech?
Speaker 4: She told him that that was not helpful at all.
Speaker 4: Right after that, the balloon fell on a tower of blocks,
Speaker 4: so it did not touch the ground.
Speaker 1: And her claim was that their massive toys save the balloon. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: what did Bandit do?
Speaker 3: He turned on the ceiling fan, which knocked the balloon
Speaker 3: off the tower of blocks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not for long, he said. It goes flying outside,
Speaker 1: and Chili sees it out the window and flips out, Amanda,
Speaker 1: what's happening here?
Speaker 2: Bandit turned on the fan and made the balloon fly
Speaker 2: outside and Chili goes after it. Because even though she
Speaker 2: tells the girls that nothing would happen to the balloon,
Speaker 2: she didn't explain to them that something could happen to
Speaker 2: the balloon. If it got outside and got on the grass.
Speaker 2: If it lands on the grass, it will pop. So
Speaker 2: Chili is doing her best to try to get to
Speaker 2: the balloon to keep it up off the ground, and
Speaker 2: as they're doing that, the girls are hitting it as well,
Speaker 2: but it ends up going over the fence to their
Speaker 2: friend Lucky's yard. So the girls yell it Lucky to
Speaker 2: get it, and he's trying his very best.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, did you guys notice anything about Lucky's voice
Speaker 1: in this It.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a different character and stuff Lucky good one
Speaker 4: that I got it.
Speaker 1: I got it. Yeah, it sounded a lot like Rusty
Speaker 1: later on in later episodes of Bluie.
Speaker 5: I'm playing with me, I'm adopt to go and patrol.
Speaker 1: Isn't that that interesting? That is?
Speaker 2: I didn't catch that. I'll have to go back and see.
Speaker 1: I didn't notice even after watching it several times. I
Speaker 1: just happened to pick up on it today and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure why. While Lucky is out there trying to help,
Speaker 1: the Legend of All Legends makes his first appearance on
Speaker 1: the show for us anyway, and that is Lucky's dad, Henry.
Speaker 4: What happens Lucky and his dad are running out there
Speaker 4: hying the balloon, and then they get back into Bluey's
Speaker 4: yard and Bandit finally comes down to the backyard with
Speaker 4: the umbrella. He says, looks like there's some rain. The
Speaker 4: balloon bounces off the umbrella and it touches the.
Speaker 1: Grass, and what happens to it?
Speaker 3: It pops?
Speaker 1: Stella, what ad Bandits say?
Speaker 4: He said that he guess that he made the game
Speaker 4: a little bit too fun, and then he said that
Speaker 4: it would be okay because they could just blow up
Speaker 4: another balloon.
Speaker 1: When they give him the news, he feels kind of
Speaker 1: bad about it. But the girls got over it pretty quickly,
Speaker 1: didn't you think.
Speaker 3: Stella, Yeah, they got over it pretty quick.
Speaker 1: They were thinking about how much fun they had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Lucky said over the fence that it was
Speaker 2: a lot of fun too.
Speaker 1: I like how cool they are with the neighbors like that.
Speaker 1: That's pretty neat. Chilli says, they might have one last
Speaker 1: balloon left, Amanda, what's the score on that?
Speaker 2: She did say that they might have one last balloon left,
Speaker 2: and it was a big blue balloon and that turned
Speaker 2: out to be Bandit. So the girls pretend to blow
Speaker 2: him up and then they let him go and he's
Speaker 2: blowing all around the yard and then he ends up
Speaker 2: flying into them and knocking them all over and they
Speaker 2: land in a pile together.
Speaker 1: I love that bandit goes all in on these games
Speaker 1: when they play. When he ended up in the trampoline
Speaker 1: and was bouncing off the sides of it and everything
Speaker 1: and doing the whole the whole time. What a champ man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love how Bandit goes all in when he's
Speaker 2: playing with the girls like that. It reminds me of
Speaker 2: us when we were playing with the kids when they
Speaker 2: were little like that.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that? Would Mom and I do
Speaker 1: those sorts of things with you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys?
Speaker 1: Did Do you miss those days?
Speaker 4: Are you?
Speaker 1: Like? Oh? Man? I wish Mom and Dad still acted
Speaker 1: like that all the time.
Speaker 3: Not really, No, not really.
Speaker 1: At the very end, there was a bird in the
Speaker 1: tree watching them. What kind of bird? Do you guys think?
Speaker 1: That was the reason I ask is that it sort
Speaker 1: of looked like a magpie to me, and it made
Speaker 1: me think of the episode Curry Swap that's later on
Speaker 1: in Bluey where the magpie at the park kept bombing
Speaker 1: people because it was protecting its nest. Oh yeah, And
Speaker 1: I didn't know if all magpies were a territorial or
Speaker 1: if it was just that one because it had eggs.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know, but anyway, that was
Speaker 1: the episode. Henry. Did we forget anything?
Speaker 3: Nope, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 2: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 1: Can anybody tell us? What did you learn today?
Speaker 2: I learned that it's always fun to make time for
Speaker 2: your family and your kids and playing fun games.
Speaker 1: Okay, how about you guys?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't really know if there's supposed to be
Speaker 4: a lesson. I think it might have just been, like,
Speaker 4: you know, a fun episode. I agree with Mom and
Speaker 4: Stella here, because yeah, that could have been the lesson,
Speaker 4: or either coach just been a fun episode without a lesson.
Speaker 2: Which it definitely is a fun episode. Oh, this is
Speaker 2: one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: If I were going to try to pinpoint a lesson,
Speaker 1: I think maybe the idea that when a game becomes
Speaker 1: so easy, it's no longer fun because there's no challenge.
Speaker 1: That the challenge is part of what makes games and
Speaker 1: competition exciting, because once it was too easy, the girls
Speaker 1: were immediately bored. I think the other lesson I learned
Speaker 1: is that Bandit is the best dad ever, And I
Speaker 1: think that I must be at least a little bit
Speaker 1: on the right track, because boy do I act like
Speaker 1: that guy.
Speaker 2: There are definitely similarities, for sure.
Speaker 1: But also this was just a fun, cute episode. They
Speaker 1: all made time for each other. They were all having
Speaker 1: a blast. Bandit tried to turn the whole thing with
Speaker 1: the playroom being messy into a lesson about if only
Speaker 1: you had this up, and I think it all really
Speaker 1: came together like that. Does anybody have any parting thoughts
Speaker 1: about the episode?
Speaker 2: This was one of my favorite episodes. It's just simple
Speaker 2: and easy and funny, and I like how they included
Speaker 2: the neighbors and they just all had fun and it
Speaker 2: was just cute.
Speaker 4: I thought it was funny how Bandit kept antagonizing them
Speaker 4: the whole time.
Speaker 1: Is that because it reminded you of when you were young? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that you thought I was awesome for doing that
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah? Good answer, kid, good answer.
Speaker 4: I think this episode is probably one of my favorite.
Speaker 4: I like how Bandit was playing with them, and I
Speaker 4: like it how they had the neighbors in there.
Speaker 1: I did really enjoy that. I love seeing Bandit interact
Speaker 1: with the kids. I love seeing Chili's interaction with Bandit
Speaker 1: and with the girls as well. And like I said before,
Speaker 1: Pat is one of my most favorite side characters, Lucky's
Speaker 1: dad and having him in this episode his voice is great.
Speaker 1: I love just his personality and the way they always
Speaker 1: go all in and this sets the tone for that
Speaker 1: how they get pulled into the Healer's shenanigans and going forward,
Speaker 1: we know it's just going to escalate from here.
Speaker 2: He was pretty committed to helping too, because I mean
Speaker 2: he had that morning cup of coffee and having that
Speaker 2: coffee in his hand did not slow him down trying
Speaker 2: to go and keep that balloon up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in it to win it all the
Speaker 1: way around. This was a super super fun episode. Well, guys,
Speaker 1: we think Bluie is awesome. And speaking of things that
Speaker 1: we think are awesome, Henry, what should we do next?
Speaker 3: The how out?
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, everyone has to clap and go whoa, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, that's awesome? Got it? Orray? We say this
