and speaking of things that are awesome. We just got
done rewatching Grannies, Henry, could you tell us what was
going on at the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the episode, we can see Bingo
flossing mean by the dance the floss, not actually flossing
her teeth, and then Bluie comes in and she asks
Bingo if she wants to play Grannies, and Bingo said,
could I still floss while playing? And Blue said I
don't think grannies can floss, so no, which Bingo was
bummed out about that. And then after that they head
onto the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Very good, thanks, Henry. When they cut to the kitchen,
we see chili and she is clean in the of
and it seems like she's having a problem. Amanda, what
did she say?
Speaker 1: She asked herself, if this thing had ever been cleaned before?
Speaker 2: Have you ever felt like that all the time? I
totally get it. Here come Jana and Rita, Stella, What
are they up to?
Speaker 3: Janet, who is actually Bluey, and Rita, who's actually Bingo,
go to the shop to try to find some baked beans.
While Rita is looking for the baked beans, she is
throwing cans everywhere, and while oh, that's happening, Janet decides
that she needs to have a Nana napp, so she
falls asleep right on the floor.
Speaker 2: Chilie tells Janet to wake up, just in time to
see Rita doing something. Stella, what is she doing?
Speaker 3: She has her dress filled with beans that she is
trying to steal from the shop.
Speaker 1: What have you got there?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 4: Nothing deal, Hi, you have.
Speaker 1: To pay for those beans. A snip's go for things.
Speaker 2: There's something about that I slipped on my beans line
that just makes me laugh every time. I remember that
being a focal point when we talked about this three
years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is such a funny line, and it gets
funnier every time you hear it.
Speaker 2: Right away, Bingo starts flossing really fast. Amanda, what does
Bluey do?
Speaker 1: Blue shuts her down. She said that grannies don't flash.
She has to play the game. The right way, so
she cannot floss.
Speaker 2: They decide they need an expert to weigh in on this, Amanda,
Where do they go?
Speaker 1: They asked mom first if grannies can floss, and she
was busy cleaning up in the kitchen, so she said,
go ask your father. So they take off running down
the hallway to find Dad so they can ask him
if granny's floss and we find and him cleaning the toilet?
Speaker 2: What are these kids eating? Gross? Henry? You and I
get big laughs out of that. Did you notice if
Stella or your mom were laughing?
Speaker 3: Well, I know one of them wasn't laughing, and I
think I know who wasn't Stella?
Speaker 2: Stella? Do you find that funny? No, Henry, what are
the girls doing in there?
Speaker 3: One of them is sitting down on Bandit's leg and
the other is flushing the toilet because they're changing the
channel on the TV. And Janet said that it was
the show with the big blue baboon.
Speaker 2: For Bandit Man. They're in there need something from him,
and they still put it to him, don't they?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2: They ask him if grannies can floss? What does he
tell him?
Speaker 3: He tells them, I don't know, go ask your nana.
Speaker 2: That was good thinking. It probably should have been their
first stop, Henry. What do they do?
Speaker 3: They go to their tablet in a video called their Nana.
Speaker 2: Apparently that sort of technology is tough to master. Stella.
What happens?
Speaker 3: Whenever Nana picks up the phone, all they see is
her ears, and she can't figure out how to get
it set up. They tell her that she needs to
put it down so they can see her face, and
instead of actually putting the phone down, she points it
down towards her feet. Once she finally gets the camera right,
they ask her if she can floss, and she tells
them that she flosses every night.
Speaker 2: But that's not the kind of floss they meant, was it?
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2: What do they do with the dance?
Speaker 3: They try to show her how to do the dance
and she tries it but she can't get it. So
Bob comes over too and tries to do the dance too,
but neither of them are doing it right.
Speaker 2: Nana said she doesn't think she can do it after all,
and Bingo is sad. Well right, then Bob falls into
the tablet and the call is over. Bluie is pretty
pleased with herself because she was right the whole time. Amanda,
what happens?
Speaker 1: Blue was almost gloating that she was right, and that
made Bingo not want to play with her anymore. So
Bingo ran off to the other room and sat up
in a chair and started playing with the little toy herself.
Blue followed her in and asked her why she wasn't
going to play with her. Bingo explains to Blue that
she wants to floss when she plays, and Blue tells
her that that's not how you play the game. You
can't floss, and so now Blue is upset at Bingo
for her not wanting to play with her, So Blue
runs off to go tell mom and dad.
Speaker 2: When she heads in there, the parents are having a
conversation about some housework, Amanda. What are they getting into?
Speaker 1: They were trying to figure out who took the laundry
out to hang it up the last time. They both
say that they did it, but Chili is pretty sure
that she's right and that it was Bandit's turn this time.
Speaker 2: When Blue shows up to tell them what's going on,
Chili has some real wisdom for her.
Speaker 5: Why isn't she playing well, love, you need to ask
yourself a question, what do you want to be?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Would you want being good?
Speaker 6: To keep playing?
Speaker 1: Kind of?
Speaker 2: Thus, No, I love Chili's response. I thought it was
very smart and very sweet. But I also really like
Bluie's response. She wants to have it all. Henry, what
did you do you think about her question?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to have both, but you can
only have one, sadly, even though you really want both.
Speaker 2: So Bluie's issues are you have to do what Granny's
can do when you play, right, Yeah, that's the main thing.
And also she wants Bingo to play with her. Those
are the two.
Speaker 3: Things, right, Yeah, I think those are.
Speaker 2: She comes up with a way where she can have
both of those things at the same time. Henry, what
does she do?
Speaker 3: She video calls Nana again and she tells Nana, I'm
gonna teach you how the floss, and Bluie teaches Nana
how the flass and then she runs into Bingo and
shows Bengo that Nana's can floss.
Speaker 2: Bingo is super happy about that. In the meanwhile, we
cut to Bandits taking out the laundry to hang it
up and the un thinkable happens, Stella, what happens to
band It?
Speaker 3: Rita was driving her toy car with Janet in the
passenger seat, and they ran right over Bandit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they decided it was a nice day for a drive.
It wasn't such a nice day for Bandit though, once
that happened. What did he say was wrong with him
after that? Stella?
Speaker 3: He said that he had done his back, which meant
his back got hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was down and out on the ground. I
felt bad for him because I can definitely definitely relate
to that in the part where your back hurts, not
in the part where my own sweet children ran over
me with a toy car. Wait, have you guys ever
done that? I don't think so, Amanda. What ends up
happening to the car after.
Speaker 1: They ran over Bandit? They took off and they're driving
along and they land in the sandbox and they can't
get out of it, so they just get out of
the car and Janet says, nice parking spot.
Speaker 2: Rita, that's another great line. Yes it is, And both
the girls start flossing like crazy again, and it gives
Bandit and Chili a chance to have a special moment.
Speaker 1: I hope we still plus at their age.
Speaker 2: I think we will. I was trying to piece together
exactly what that dialogue was at the end, and Stella
had to set me straight. What was the deal?
Speaker 3: Chili was saying that she hopes that when she's old,
you know, like Rida and Janet, that she'll still be
out to floss.
Speaker 2: Just like them. Yeah, that sort of sailed past me somehow.
Thank you for explaining that, Stella. And that was the episode, Henry.
Did we forget anything?
Speaker 6: Nope?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 1: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 2: Could anyone tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 3: I learned that sometimes you have to compromise because, for example,
Blue wanted to be right, but Blue also wanted Bingo
to play with her. So Blue, you have the compromise.
And she just taught her nana how the floss, so
then Bingo it's still play with her.
Speaker 2: Henry, you are exactly right. You do have to compromise
in this situation, though I'm not so sure Blue was
keen on compromising. I think she figured out a loophole
to get whatever she wanted in this.
Speaker 3: One, that you can do the floss no matter how old.
You are.
Speaker 2: You guys don't know this, but Stella's doing it right now. No,
I'm not.
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. I learned that you
can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Speaker 2: Oh, I see what she did there, hilarious.
Speaker 1: Blue taught Nana and Bob how to do the floss
and they learned and they did a great job with it.
Speaker 2: They did do a great job, and they were having
heaps of fun while they were doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah they were.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really do think Bluie found an elegant way
around having to compromise. Her main thing wasn't to keep
Bingo from flossing. Her main thing was making sure that
they played a historically accurate version of Granny's. She's like
the Warring actors who don't know anything that's not period authentic.
So rather than back down on that, she just decided, well, sure,
if Grannies really can floss, then Bingo can floss. Her
attention to detail is pretty commendable, but her ability to
dig deep and go the extra mile to get her way. Man,
she's really got a future ahead of her.
Speaker 1: Yes she does, Yes, she does.
Speaker 2: I like that Banda and Chili didn't just mediately tell
Bluie to let Bingo do whatever she wanted. They let
the girls find their way through this, and not necessarily
in a pass the buck, go ask your dad, get
away from any kind of way, but they wanted to
find some kind of compromise. And I'm glad that Nana
got to get involved. I really like her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't see her very often, so it's nice
when she pops up.
Speaker 2: She and Bob look like they were having a good
time together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
Speaker 2: Bob was really cutting a rug when he was showing
them his moves.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes, he did definitely have some moves there.
Speaker 2: Fancy footwork on old Bob there. Does anybody have any
parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 1: I will always love this episode is the first time
we get to see the grannies, and they have some
classic lines that we'll probably hear again.
Speaker 3: This is probably one of the funniest episodes in the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like this one quite a bit.
Speaker 3: I think all the episodes with the Grannies are always
really funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're great characters. I love seeing the kids like
this because I used to play games like that with
my sister whenever we were young, and it was ridiculous,
and our interpretation of what old people were like versus
what they really were like were kind of like this,
where everything is over the top. Of course, for the girls,
they probably thought anybody over thirty was a granny. But
that's a whole other thing. There's a lot of comedy
in this. I love the gags. I love seeing Bandit
and Chili frustrated with their own individual housework and then
also arguing over which one of them was going to
get stuck with a chore. It's just such a real
slice of parenthood and being a grown up. So for
kids that are watching, that's what real life is like.
So hang on because it'll be your eventually. I also
wonder if they have insurance on that car of theirs,
because it's gonna need some repairs, and I would say
the liability risk is pretty high. After watching the way
they drive, did you see the gnome flying and everything
they ran into flying out the side?
Speaker 1: I did notice the gnome going.
Speaker 2: We that's how Henry drives when we played Lego Batman.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong, Dad.
Speaker 2: Well, guys, we think Bluuie is awesome. And speaking of
things that we think are awesome, Henry what should we
do next?
Speaker 3: The howl out?
Speaker 6: Okay, listen up, everyone has to clap and go whoa, Yeah,
all right, that's awesome, got it.
Speaker 2: Right. We have the best fans and we appreciate you

A little more on that in just a minute. We
got a voice message from Rory and Phoenix.
Speaker 4: Hi, Dinner with the Healers. My name is Rory and
this is my sister Phoenix. Hi, and we want to
tell you guys about the new Blue video game, Bluies
Quest for the Goldpen. I finished it and there's a
funny boss and expandit.
Speaker 3: You should play it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Anyway?
Speaker 2: Bye? How about that? Two messages in a row about
Bluie's quest for the Gold Pen. Henry, we haven't played that,
have we?
Speaker 3: No, we haven't played it yet.
Speaker 2: We definitely need to, though, because I think this is
a sign. Rory and Phoenix, thank you so much for
your voice message, And Vivian, thank you for the email
about the game. Henry and I will check it out
and maybe we could do an episode about it. We'll
have to see, won't.
Speaker 3: We, buddy, Yeah, we'll have to see you.
Speaker 2: And we also got a voice message from our friend Brendan.
Speaker 6: Greetings, dinner with the Healers. This is your friend Brendan
speaking to you once again. So I have another Bluey
moment to share with you from the episode Muffin Cone.
Speaker 1: Sorry, tricks I, what happened to the chips? Tricks It
might be time to take off Muffin's cone.
Speaker 6: Well, it seems to me that Tricksy just couldn't resist
the chips when she obviously said I can resist, when
Clay clearly she could not resist the chips. Well, anyway,
Toddie again soon bye bye Brendan is always so great
to hear from you.
Speaker 1: I love the episode Muffin Cone. It is so good,
and I have to say that I can really relate
to Muffin's mom when she can't resist the chips, because
gotta be honest, I can't resist potato chips either. They're
just too good.
Speaker 2: It is tough to not just go through something like that.
And I know for me, whenever I open something like
a can of pringles, what are you gonna do? Not
eat the whole thing? I mean, good Luck or any
of cookies, Well, I can't just leave them sitting there,
not wrapped up. So yeah, it is hard and I
thought it was nice though, that Trixie realizes that the
things that she's expecting Muffin to do, she's not able
to have the same restraint herself that she wants Muffin
to have, and it makes her think about what she's
chosen to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks so much for sending us like clip Brandan.
Like I said, that is one of my favorite episodes.
Speaker 2: Brendan, You're always so awesome. Thank you, Thank you guys,
thank you for all of the messages, the comments, the reviews.
It's always so good to hear from you, and we
appreciate it so much.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be able to do this without you, guys,
so thank you, Thank.
Speaker 2: You well guys. Until next time, we are out of here.
Speaker 1: Bye guys, Bye bye once again,
