done rewatching takeaway.
Speaker 1: Can we have some media? Take your tea?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you girls are a large, spicy Henry. Could you
tell us what was going on at the beginning of
this episode.
Speaker 4: At the beginning of the episode, they pull up to
a restaurant and they go there to get their takeaway,
which is their food. Banitt goes inside so they can
get their order, and Bluey and Bingo both are trying
to sell on a chair, but Bluey and Binga are
kind of trying to push each other off so they
can sit on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. They pull up to a restaurant. Does anybody
remember what the name of it is?
Speaker 4: It was called Golden Crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Golden Crown. Very good. When they're walking up there,
all of these things are happening at once. And Amanda
and I were talking about this how as a parent
you can totally relate to it because all these things
are coming from all over. Bluey asks if she can
take a shower under the tap the water faucet outside,
and what did Bandit tell her?
Speaker 3: He said, no, wet dogs in.
Speaker 2: The car exactly, which I get it. Bingo is asking
a question, Stella, do you remember what Bingo asked?
Speaker 4: She asked where do rocks come from?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So, in the middle of all that these big
existential questions that Bingo's asking, Blue's trying to take a shower.
And then they're also saying they want some of the takeaway,
and a man of Bandit tells them that they're not
gonna want his food. Why is that?
Speaker 3: Because it's too spicy and he knows that the girls
do not like spicy food.
Speaker 2: Henry, something happens when Bandit goes in the first time,
and we talk about this a lot on the show,
and we're just joking around. But are they dogs or
are they people? What happened while Bandit was inside That
makes you wonder which one's right.
Speaker 4: The newspaper blows away off the table and Bingo runs
to grab and she picks up with her mouth and
she takes it back to the table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she barked to her yip bark that she does.
And when Bandit came out, he realizes that something terrible
has happened. And Henry, what is that?
Speaker 4: There are no spring rolls?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they forgot him, So he tells Bingo and Bluie
to stay, and he says it just like you would
tell your dog Stepy. Of course, Stella, did Mom and
I ever tell you and Henry to stay like the
way we talk to Charlie and Annie are doggies.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be five more minutes because they've got to
have those spring rolls. Bandit needs to do something, Stella,
what is it?
Speaker 4: He needs to call Chili and tell her that the
spring rolls aren't done, and what is she telling him
to do? She tells him to just forget about the
spring rolls.
Speaker 2: He says that's not happening, and she tells him good
luck leave without the spring roll She crazy, Amanda, would
you wait for the spring rolls or would you just
head home?
Speaker 3: No? I would definitely wait for the spring rolls. I
wouldn't head home without them.
Speaker 2: Well, especially if you paid for him already.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, exactly, yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 2: I would want to wait for him too. Bingo is
curious about something, Amanda. Do you remember what she asked
Bandit next?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: I know she asked him how long it was going
to take to get the spring rolls and he said
five minutes, and both the girls asked, well, how long
is five minutes? And he said, it's like watching an
episode of Chutney Chimp.
Speaker 2: Right, they compare time to how long it takes to
watch an episode of one of their favorite shows. We
used to do that, didn't we?
Speaker 3: Yes, we did.
Speaker 2: What are some of the shows that we've used to
mark time by?
Speaker 3: When Stella was younger, she really liked My Little Ponies
and so when we were waiting for something, we would say, well,
it'll take about as long as My Little Pony episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, My Little Pony Friendship is magic is specifically
the series we're talking about. It is still awesome, it is. Yes,
we also use Kung Fu Panda, Yes, and we also
used Ninjago Yes.
Speaker 3: So yeah, my Lego frand over.
Speaker 2: There, we've definitely been there. Yeah. Bluie is wanting something now, Amanda,
what is it?
Speaker 3: She asked Bandit if she could get I think a
juice and he said he wasn't going to buy any
drinks and she could go over to the tap and
get a drink of water from the tap.
Speaker 2: Well, she's doing that. Henry Bingo is asking Bandit if
she can do something and what is it?
Speaker 4: Bingo asked Bandit if she can eat the plants, and
he obviously said no. And then Bingo asked, why is
it that some plants are food and some plants aren't.
Speaker 2: Did he give an answer to that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have an answer to that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I think my only answer would be, well.
Speaker 3: Because because some of them are and some of them aren't.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, Blue is wanting to play with something. And
what is she asking her dad about?
Speaker 4: She wants to play with the menus?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he tells her to only take a couple
because the restaurant needs them. Right, Yeah, Blue's got her menus.
But then, in a classic twist which happens with all
kids everywhere, Bingo, who said she didn't want to drink earlier,
now asks a question, Stella, what is it?
Speaker 4: She asks if she can have a drink from the tap?
Speaker 2: Amanda, have we ever been there? No? Absolutely not, not
every night at dinner time? Literally maybe every day?
Speaker 3: Maybe? Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2: Banda is just trying to get through all this, and
he says fine, and he takes Bingo over to get
a drink. But then, Stella, what happens.
Speaker 4: Bluie's menus blow out of her hand and they go
straight into the water.
Speaker 2: And she's not going to play with those, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: She's not going to play with those. So Bandit tells
her that she can go and get two more, but
she needs to hold onto them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Bandit picks the wet ones up and puts them
on the table, and Bingo says she is starving by
this time. Stella, what does Blue start doing?
Speaker 4: She starts playing restaurant with Bingo and she.
Speaker 2: Makes Bandit get up and get out of the way,
and he does, which I've been there to listen. Fine, cool,
I'll come over here and sit on the wall if
it'll keep you too entertained, and I don't have to
constantly keep you from bickering. Amanda Blue gives Bingo both menus.
Why was that she gave.
Speaker 3: Her book menus in case she was super hungry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you can't just order off the one man.
You gotta do both, one for each eye. I guess sure. Yeah.
What was Bingo's name in this? Bingo always had the
classic names whenever they played. In the earliest episodes, her.
Speaker 3: Name was tap girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. I wonder where she got that. I
know Bingo says she wants her food super spicy. I
kind of thought this might have been a mistake from
the word go, Amanda. What does Blue do?
Speaker 3: Blue gives her the food out of Dad's takeout bag,
and Bingo opens up the lid, but Blue tells her,
I don't really know if you should actually try to
eat it. You know, remember Dad said is spicy. And
then Bingo goes ahead and takes a handful of it
and eats it, and she immediately regrets her decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so spicy she can't stand it. But then
something terrible happens. What is it?
Speaker 3: She drops the food container on the ground, all over
the place, and poor Bandit by this time he's still
waiting on the spring rolls.
Speaker 2: He comes out and his food's all over the ground,
and Bingo is flipping out, Henry, what does she need?
Speaker 4: She says that she needs a drink, and the Bandit
gets up and then he takes her to the water
tap immediately and turns it on and then she can
get a drink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's guzzlant like there's no tomorrow. And anybody who's
ever had a kid ever knows exactly what's going to
happen next, how's that kid?
Speaker 5: Her?
Speaker 1: Good man?
Speaker 4: He could gilloween?
Speaker 2: Oh man, Okay, I know. I keep saying that if
you've had kids, this will all feel familiar. This part
where all starts happening all at once, reminds me so
much of when I would take these two by myself
someplace while you were at work. For example, Bingo's got
to do her business. There's not a restroom for miles.
She can't wait. So Henry, what were they going to
have to do?
Speaker 4: They had to do a bush wei.
Speaker 2: A bush wei. Yeah, so now they're taking care of that.
But during all this, it all sort of happens. At
one time Stella Blue runs up and she's doing something.
Speaker 4: Blue runs up with chopsticks in her mouth and says
that she's a.
Speaker 2: Walrus, which I thought was pretty cute. Stella. While Bingo
is taking care of her business, she's still asking Bandit
loads of questions. What's her big question now?
Speaker 4: She asks if everything is made out of Adams.
Speaker 2: I don't think Bandit was expecting that question at all.
In the middle of this. They can't hear you shake
your head.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he definitely didn't know how to answer that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because everything's happening all the once. He
knows that every things made out of Adams. But while
that's going on, Stella, what is happening with Bluey?
Speaker 4: Now she can't get the water from the tap to
shut off, and she's worrying about what will happen if
she can't get it shut off?
Speaker 2: Blowing. Don't even think about getting under that Bingo you
almost finished?
Speaker 6: No, yeah, e't a long line, Stella.
Speaker 2: Were you ever worried something like that might happen if
you couldn't get the hose to turn off or something
when you were little?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: No, Bingo is taken forever with this one. And while
that's happening, they get some visitors on the sidewalk, Amanda,
who shows up?
Speaker 3: Are they crows? Yeah? So there are some crows that
decided to help themselves to the food that Bingo spilled
on the ground earlier.
Speaker 2: Bandit seemed frustrated by that, But I wonder if he
was planning on eating it after it had been on
the ground anyway. But yeah, he shoes those crows out
of there. They finally get done, and he turns off
the water and sits down and he is just beat Amanda.
What question does Bingo ask next?
Speaker 3: Bingo was asking, let me see if I get this right,
if adults grow up from being babies and adults are
the only ones that have babies, where did the first
baby come from?
Speaker 2: Well? Why is she listen? She's got a lot of
man thinking going. She's got a lot on her mind.
Speaker 3: That kid, Yeah she does.
Speaker 2: That was kind of the final straw for bandit. I think, Yeah, Henry,
what he say next?
Speaker 4: He said, let's just leave, and he grabs the food,
then he slips and then it falls all over him
and he's just laying down the ground defeated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is done. Oh my gosh, I've been there.
I mean I haven't been laying on the sidewalk covered
in takeaway, right, but I've been in positions where I'm like,
I think I'm just done here. Yeah, I think this
might be it. Well, he's laying there, not moving at all.
The lady who runs the shop comes out, and Henry,
what does she have?
Speaker 4: She has Fortune cookies? And she also says that the
spring rolls are going to take five more minutes.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's something any of them wanted to hear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now that all the food's there on the ground.
The lady's take on it was like, oh, what's going
on out here? Yeah, well, they've got the fortune cookies
and stella. What was it that Blue said they were?
Speaker 4: Blue said that they were little biscuits with pieces of
paper inside them, and that the pieces of paper had
words on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. For us in the United States, we call them cookies,
and in other places they call them biscuits instead of cookies.
Bandit takes a look at the Fortune. It says, flowers
may bloom again, but a person never has a chance
to be young again. Amanda, what does he do with that?
Speaker 3: He thinks about the words for a moment, and then
he decides to tell the girls, do you know what
it's time for? It's shower time? And Blue said for
real life, and he said for real life. And so
they run over to the tap and he turns a
tap on for them.
Speaker 2: When the lady came out, I thought she might be
upset that they're running her out of the ground. But Henry,
what did she say?
Speaker 4: She said that it looks fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something about seeing kids having a ripper of
a time like that makes your heart feel good and
that was the episode. Henry, Did we miss anything?
Speaker 4: Nope, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's time for?
Speaker 3: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 2: Could anyone tell us? What did you learn today?
Speaker 3: Sometimes things just don't go as planned, and when that happens,
you just got to kind of roll with the punches,
much like Bandit did.
Speaker 2: What about you kids? Do you guys have any ideas?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't really know what the lesson was. Here's
what I learned. If I have no spring rolls in
my back and I have to wait five minutes, I'll
just go home.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that's one takeaway from it. Nothing. See
what I did there that I would add this, Amanda,
I think you're on the right track there. My thing
is is that life happens at sometimes just rocket speed.
Everything is happening all at once. Bandit wants the spring rolls,
Chili wants him home, Bengoes got to take a Wii,
Bluie wants to play with this and that, Bengos asking
the mysteries of the universe, and it's all happening at
one time, and Bandit probably felt like he was in
one of those things, you know, those little toys you
push and the balls pop up and down inside the
plastic dome like the popcorn thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, probably
felt like that, Like all these ideas and events are
happening all around him so fast, and he's having trouble
focusing on the thing that matters, and when everything becomes overwhelming,
it's easy to miss out on life. At this point,
he just wants to get home. He doesn't care if
the kids are having fun or not. He just wants
them to sit there and do nothing while he gets
the food so he can get home and eat and
keep the day moving forward. But once he's forced to
slow down, when everything has fallen apart and he has
to slow down and take a breath and just take
whatever comes next at face value, he realizes, Man, you
don't get to be young forever. These kids aren't going
to be young forever, and we need to take the
opportunity while we have it and play, just play. What's
it going to hurt at this point? I mean, plus,
let's face it, he's covered in food. What can a
little water do? But that's my take on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2: Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 3: This episode is still just as hilarious as it was
when we watched it three years ago.
Speaker 4: I think the random questions that Bingo was asking, I
think those are funny. I thought this whole episode was
funny with just everything going on and all the questions
that Bingo was asking.
Speaker 2: Like Henry said, you're really good with little kids. Do
little kids ask you tons of questions like that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Would you be able to explain the mysteries of the universe?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, I bet you could. I bet you could. I
love this episode. I like seeing Bandit in this situation
just because it reminds me of what we went through,
the three of us, meaning Stella and Henry and me,
when they were little and it was just me fighting
for my life when mom wasn't there. And I think
he did a very commendable job. And I think he
enjoys spending time with the girls like that, even though
sometimes they probably try his patience. But I really saw
myself in that, and I like to have goofy fun.
I probably would have been the one making the walrus
face with the chopsticks, embarrassing the kids.
Speaker 4: That feels like something that you would do, but you're
not that embarrassing.
Speaker 2: That's not what Stella says, Stella to your mom, and
I embarrass you ever?
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: One example, learner mom.
Speaker 4: Dances in the stores the music like it's just just stop,
like just stop. Ah.
Speaker 3: I have one word to say about that?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 3: Never?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there's a whole episode about that that we'll
get to. I think it's cool that your mom is
such a free spirit. But anyway, we think Bluie is awesome.
And speaking of things that we think are awesome, Henry,
what should we do next? The howl outs, Okay, listen up.
Everyone has to clap and go whoa. Yeah, all right,
that's awesome, got it? Ayay. I say this every time
we get to this segment. But we have the best
fans ever. We're so appreciative of you guys with the
