Speaker 2: Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done
Speaker 2: rewatching Daddy Robot.
Speaker 1: Bye Daddy, Yes, smile stop.
Speaker 2: Stella, could you tell us what was going on? At
Speaker 2: the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 3: Bluey and Fingo are collering on the playroom floor and
Speaker 3: Chili walks in and tells them that they need to
Speaker 3: tidy up their toys. They say that they don't want to,
Speaker 3: but Chili tells them that there's no way around it,
Speaker 3: so they decide to go and ask Daddy Robot if
Speaker 3: he will clean the playroom for them.
Speaker 2: Stella, let me ask you something. Did that playroom look
Speaker 2: like it needed to be tidied up?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: There were toys everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty messy, Amanda. Did that bring back
Speaker 2: any memories for you?
Speaker 4: It sure did. There were so many times that these
Speaker 4: kids would be just playing and playing and playing, and
Speaker 4: stuff would be everywhere, but they were always having a
Speaker 4: good time.
Speaker 2: When the girls went to ask Daddy Robot, I thought
Speaker 2: it was really cool that bandit immediately got on board
Speaker 2: with what they were doing and settled into character, Amanda,
Speaker 2: what was he doing with them?
Speaker 4: The girls asked Daddy Robot to follow them to the
Speaker 4: playroom because they needed him to do something for them.
Speaker 4: But then they stopped and said, wait, wait, wait, no
Speaker 4: carrious to the playroom. And so he did as they wished,
Speaker 4: and he picked up Blue first and then Bingo, and
Speaker 4: then Bingo tells him that he needs to robo boogie
Speaker 4: to the playroom, and he had won in each arm,
Speaker 4: and he boogied his way to the playroom with them both.
Speaker 2: What does he call them?
Speaker 4: Daddy Robot calls Blue and Bingo both his masters.
Speaker 2: When they get to the playroom, they tell him what
Speaker 2: his task is going to be.
Speaker 1: Daddy Robot, wait, wording you?
Speaker 3: He could kind of them to serve my Boster's is
Speaker 3: the harghest honor.
Speaker 2: He's busy picking up and the girls think that they
Speaker 2: have really stumbled on a genius plan. Henry, what did
Speaker 2: they do?
Speaker 3: Blue and Bengo were relaxing on this couch and they
Speaker 3: were talking about how awesome it is, and then they said,
Speaker 3: you know what, how about we just never tie up
Speaker 3: the playroom ever again? And then they asked Daddy Robot,
Speaker 3: does he understand what they're talking about. He said, yes,
Speaker 3: and then he started recalculating his objectives.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daddy Robot had to recalculate what he was going
Speaker 2: to do, and he came up with a solution that,
Speaker 2: quite frankly, I thought made a lot of sense from
Speaker 2: a very logical perspective. Henry, what was his plan?
Speaker 3: Daddy Robot is saying that he'll throw him in a
Speaker 3: wheelie bin because they're always the ones making the mess,
Speaker 3: So then if they can't make a mess, the playroom
Speaker 3: be tidied up forever.
Speaker 2: That seems pretty solid logically, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the movie Terminator? Yes, I feel
Speaker 2: like this is the basis of the entire Terminator franchise.
Speaker 4: I don't remember a Daddy Robot and the Terminator, though, I'll.
Speaker 2: Be buck Stella. The girls see Chili and tell her
Speaker 2: what's going on, and they ask her for help. What
Speaker 2: are they doing?
Speaker 3: They ask her to hand them the spray bottle she's
Speaker 3: using the water the plants so that they can spray
Speaker 3: Daddy Robot. They spray him in the face, and whenever
Speaker 3: they do that, he starts to malfunction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a whole routine he does. He says
Speaker 2: syntax error and starts doing all sorts of stuff and
Speaker 2: he gets confused. Stella, what does he think Bluie is?
Speaker 3: He thinks Bluie is a vacuum cleaner and then a banjo?
Speaker 2: Amanda, what did you think of Bandit's banjo imitation? When
Speaker 2: he was singing banjo music?
Speaker 4: I thought it was spot on. Yeah, it was excellent.
Speaker 2: Bingo is trying to save her sister and she is
Speaker 2: yelling that is not a banjo, that's my sister. But
Speaker 2: Daddy Robot gets confused about her too, Abanda, what happens?
Speaker 4: He looks at Bingo and says, hey, didn't I fold
Speaker 4: you up in the laundry this morning? You know how
Speaker 4: did you get out? So he grabs her and starts
Speaker 4: folding her up and trying to put her back in
Speaker 4: the laundry basket.
Speaker 2: I love how much fun Bingo has with these things.
Speaker 2: Like earlier on in the episode when she said I
Speaker 2: love Daddy Robot when he was going crazy with them
Speaker 2: taking him out to.
Speaker 4: The she was definitely giggling a lot, having fun.
Speaker 2: He gets her folded up and then turns to see
Speaker 2: that something has escaped Amanda, what is it?
Speaker 4: It was a guinea pig, he said, a guinea pig
Speaker 4: has escaped, and it was Bluey Henry.
Speaker 2: The girls really needed to come up with a plan
Speaker 2: before Bandit put blue in a guinea pig cage. What
Speaker 2: did she come up with?
Speaker 3: She came up with the plan of getting mom packed
Speaker 3: like she's a mommy robot to distract a daddy robot
Speaker 3: so then they can press his nose to turn him off.
Speaker 2: Hello, shee's and crackers. You're the most beautiful robot I've
Speaker 2: ever seen.
Speaker 4: You are too kind.
Speaker 2: Did the mommy robot decoy seem to work on him?
Speaker 3: He at worked?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was pretty happy with that, wasn't he.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know, I think that would probably work on me too.
Speaker 2: If you guys ever needed to distract me, you just
Speaker 2: send your mom and to be like, oh, well, hello,
Speaker 2: they're handsome blah blah blah, and I'd be like, wait,
Speaker 2: what was going on?
Speaker 4: And then you guys could sneak more cats into the
Speaker 4: house or dogs.
Speaker 2: None of those things are happening. Not a one of
Speaker 2: those things. Just forget it.
Speaker 4: Just one cat at least two dogs.
Speaker 2: When ben It was trying to tell Chilli what his
Speaker 2: name was, it went off the rails. My name is
Speaker 2: Daddy Robe. That was a little odd. Please pretend I
Speaker 2: didn't just do that.
Speaker 5: It is hard to unsee something like that.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've probably done things, Amanda, that I
Speaker 2: wish you hadn't seen, and that you probably wish you
Speaker 2: hadn't seen as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, things happen, they do.
Speaker 2: Indeed, it's okay. They managed to push Daddy robots nose
Speaker 2: and I love the quote he says that he's cursed
Speaker 2: to depart having only just known her beauty. What a
Speaker 2: casanova he is. Man when he's on the floor, they're
Speaker 2: really really feeling bad for him now, Poor.
Speaker 3: Daggy the book.
Speaker 4: Who Bandit?
Speaker 2: I love that we all laughed at that so much
Speaker 2: at the exact same time. That made me happy. They're
Speaker 2: trying to fix Daddy Robots, Stella, what is going on?
Speaker 3: Chili was saying that daddy robots usually don't just go
Speaker 3: crazy like that, and Binga and Bluie decided to admit
Speaker 3: that it was their fault and then told him that
Speaker 3: daddy Robots try their hardest to do things the easiest
Speaker 3: way possible.
Speaker 4: Just like kids.
Speaker 2: I just want to say something here on behalf of
Speaker 2: Daddy robots everywhere that the most efficient way doesn't necessarily
Speaker 2: mean easy, like you're taking a shortcut. Efficiency is efficiency.
Speaker 2: And I think Daddy Robot was really thinking outside the
Speaker 2: box or inside the beIN rather, I guess, is what
Speaker 2: he was really thinking. Do you think that's true, Stella,
Speaker 2: that Daddy's try to find the easiest way of doing things. Yeah, geez,
Speaker 2: you could have at least pretended like you had to
Speaker 2: think about it for a second. When he wakes up,
Speaker 2: he says he thought he saw a robot angel and
Speaker 2: then asked what his orders were, Amanda. What did the
Speaker 2: girl tell him?
Speaker 4: The girls told him that he just needed to sit
Speaker 4: back and relax, and he asked them if he was
Speaker 4: doing it the right way as he was sitting in
Speaker 4: the chair, and Bluey told him yes. But normally when
Speaker 4: one person relaxes, they close their eyes too, So he
Speaker 4: did that and then here comes mom Robot.
Speaker 2: He had never relaxed before, is what he said. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it made me think of you, because I feel like
Speaker 2: you're the worst at relaxing out of all of us.
Speaker 4: I get to relax sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Amanda is a go getter. She really really is.
Speaker 2: The girls say that they should just both relax together
Speaker 2: and that they are going to straighten up the room,
Speaker 2: and Bandit says something that, honestly, I would think the
Speaker 2: exact same thing, Amanda, what was it?
Speaker 4: Bandit or robot? Dad asked? Is this a robo dream?
Speaker 4: And Obo mom says, well, then kiss me before you
Speaker 4: wake up.
Speaker 2: That is just what kids do whenever they see you
Speaker 2: having a nice moment as a couple when you're adults,
Speaker 2: and they decide they needed to throw a wrench into
Speaker 2: it or something. At least they weren't acting like they
Speaker 2: were grossed out. I thought that was nice. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that was the episode. Henry. Did we forget anything?
Speaker 3: Nope? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 4: Did we learn anything today?
Speaker 2: Could anyone tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 3: I know, if you have kids, just throw them in
Speaker 3: the wheelie bin and then the house will always be clean.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: I think you could have used that when me and
Speaker 3: still were kids. I think they could still use that
Speaker 3: for you now.
Speaker 2: Easy.
Speaker 4: I think what we learned from this episode is don't
Speaker 4: try to put your responsibilities off on others.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's fair. I think that was the whole
Speaker 2: lesson Bandit was trying to teach the girls is that
Speaker 2: you trying to put your responsibilities off on me is
Speaker 2: going to result in this consequence of me antagonizing you
Speaker 2: NonStop when the ultimate goal was to get them to
Speaker 2: do it, And it took this whole game, which happened
Speaker 2: to be fun at least because we've had many a
Speaker 2: thing in here with each other and these kids, where
Speaker 2: if you would have just done what I asked you
Speaker 2: to do in the first place, we could have avoided
Speaker 2: a lot of turmoil. Yes, how about you, Stella, did
Speaker 2: you learn anything?
Speaker 3: I think Mom is right. I think it's about not
Speaker 3: avoiding your responsibilities.
Speaker 2: I was kind of leaning towards Henry being right, but
Speaker 2: really I do think that's it, the idea that you
Speaker 2: shouldn't shirk your responsibilities. But then also when the girls
Speaker 2: were trying to get Bandit to do what they wanted
Speaker 2: and then sprayed him with water to stop him when
Speaker 2: they deemed his behavior out of hand, it broke him.
Speaker 2: And I'm putting that in air quotes, and I realized
Speaker 2: the people listening can't see it. But the thing was,
Speaker 2: not only did they avoid their responsibilities, they also hurt
Speaker 2: somebody else in the process, and that might not mean
Speaker 2: that they broke Daddy Robot, but maybe you hurt somebody's
Speaker 2: feelings or do this or that all while trying to
Speaker 2: avoid what it is you're supposed to do. It all
Speaker 2: kind of piles up. So they had the understanding that
Speaker 2: they were supposed to have done this thing, but then
Speaker 2: also the guilt of breaking Daddy Robot, because I think
Speaker 2: Bingo genuinely felt bad for what they had done to him,
Speaker 2: because his bad behavior was their fault.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4: I know you said this earlier, but I liked how
Speaker 4: bandit when the girls went to him to say, hey,
Speaker 4: Daddy Robot. It was great how he instantly went into
Speaker 4: Daddy Robot mode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a character. His whole process of gathering
Speaker 2: his thoughts for a minute and then getting into the
Speaker 2: role was very good. Yeah, he's a good dad. Those
Speaker 2: sorts of things are fun. I've had a lot of
Speaker 2: fun with these kids over the years, doing goofball things
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: I liked how the girls came around at the end
Speaker 3: and started feeling bad for Daddy Robot and wanted him
Speaker 3: to relax.
Speaker 2: I like that too. I thought that was sweet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were trying to make it up to him.
Speaker 3: I found the part funny to where diy Robot shut
Speaker 3: down there right after you nearly farted.
Speaker 4: Girl, you are still insure.
Speaker 3: He let one rip.
Speaker 2: I knew that part would speak to you. We all laughed,
Speaker 2: so don't pretend like you didn't laugh to still, did
Speaker 2: you hear me?
Speaker 3: I saw your face. You were kind of like I
Speaker 3: was judging you.
Speaker 2: Guys, Okay, okay. I enjoy seeing Bandit playing with the
Speaker 2: girls like this and using humor to delicately teach them
Speaker 2: a lesson spot on writing, SPA on acting, spa on
Speaker 2: parenting by Bandit. Yes, yes, and I totally totally sympathized
Speaker 2: with him being distracted by Mommy Robot, cheese and crackers
Speaker 2: is right. Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome. And
Speaker 2: speaking of things we think are awesome, Henry, what should
Speaker 2: we do next?
Speaker 4: The hell out?
Speaker 5: Okay, listen, everyone has to clap and go whoa, Yeah,
Speaker 5: all right, that's awesome, got it, Ray.

Speaker 2: Let's take a look at Spotify. We heard from Ray, Emily, Danielle,
Speaker 2: Maren Hannah, Jelly Grace, Julia, oscar leko Alex, who mentions
Speaker 2: the game Louie's Quest for the Gold Pen Henry. We're
Speaker 2: going to have to check that out. It's available for
Speaker 2: iOS right now and it will be out for Android
Speaker 2: just about any day. Right now, I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gotta try that soon.
Speaker 2: We heard from Brittany, Pia, Skippy, Grant, Amar Sloan who
Speaker 2: said they relate with Bluuie and I totally understand that.
Speaker 2: I see a lot of things in this show that
Speaker 2: I relate to. We heard from Poe. We heard from
Speaker 2: someone whose account's name is just Kids, and they said,
Speaker 2: we like this, but Toby said it's for babies. Well, Toby,
Speaker 2: Blooie and our podcast are for people of all ages.
Speaker 2: We have lots of people who are grown ups that
Speaker 2: listen to our podcast and kids and everybody in between, don't.
Speaker 4: We We sure do.
Speaker 2: We also heard from We got some emails. We got
Speaker 2: a voice message from our friend Brandan.
Speaker 5: Greetings dinner with the Healers. This is your friend Brendan
Speaker 5: speaking to you once again. And believe me, I'm never
Speaker 5: gonna get tired of saying that. Anyway. I have another
Speaker 5: blue moment to share with you from the episode Sheep
Speaker 5: dog Man.
Speaker 3: Are you in there?
Speaker 5: Yes, Bluey, I'm in here.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for whatever I did to upset you.
Speaker 2: You didn't do anything to upset me, sweetheart, Then why
Speaker 2: don't you want to see us? I do want to
Speaker 2: see you, but it can be hard work looking after kids.
Speaker 2: Sometimes moms just need twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: I don't understand you.
Speaker 4: Will one day, sweetheart.
Speaker 5: You know what. I do have to agree with Chili
Speaker 5: on that one. I guess it is never easy when
Speaker 5: looking after kids these days. It really is never easy.
Speaker 5: All right? Talked again soon, Bye bye, Brendon.
Speaker 4: It was so good to hear from you, and as always,
Speaker 4: you always pick a good clip from the show to
Speaker 4: send to us to share. And I have to say
Speaker 4: this episode really resonates with me because I totally understand ChIL.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a lot of work raising kids, but
Speaker 4: it's very rewarding and we love our kids so so much.
Speaker 4: But yeah, sometimes we just need a few minutes to
Speaker 4: ourselves just to kind of relax and kind of collect
Speaker 4: our thoughts and kind of just refresh before we get
Speaker 4: back to it. And so this is a really good
Speaker 4: episode that you picked to share a part of it
Speaker 4: with us, and we won't get tired of you saying
Speaker 4: once again either. Thanks so much much for your message, Brendan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love hearing from you. Brendan, You're awesome. You've
Speaker 2: been a really good friend to the podcast and we
Speaker 2: appreciate it so much. In that particular episode, I remember
Speaker 2: when we talked about it, it was tough for these
Speaker 2: kids to understand sometimes I just need a minute. You're
Speaker 2: just gonna have to give me a minute to calm down,
Speaker 2: especially when it's Mom. They weren't as surprised by me
Speaker 2: saying things like that, but with Mom, it was hard
Speaker 2: for them to understand. But when you're on all the time,
Speaker 2: every now and then, you need just a little bit
Speaker 2: of a break to regroup and sort of get it
Speaker 2: together and get back to it. But one thing I
Speaker 2: can say for sure about Amanda is that you're always
Speaker 2: resilient and always right back in it to win it. Oh.
Speaker 4: Thanks. Sometimes I would make up that I had to
Speaker 4: go to the bathroom just so I could get a
Speaker 4: few minutes.
Speaker 2: You absolutely here this whole time. I thought you had
Speaker 2: some sort of problem you need to see a doctor about.
Speaker 2: We got an email from Lucy Hi, Lucy, Hi, Lucy.
Speaker 2: We heard from River, who watches with their brother. Their
Speaker 2: favorite episode is Facey Talk because they like Muffin so much,
Speaker 2: and she is hilarious in that one.
Speaker 4: She sure is.
Speaker 2: Remember when these kids were littler and we would let
Speaker 2: them talk on the phone to one of the relatives
Speaker 2: and they wouldn't get how you're supposed to hold it
Speaker 2: up to your face and talk into the thing and
Speaker 2: want to nod. Do you guys remember that?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: We heard from viv We heard from Oliver. He is
Speaker 2: eleven and loves our podcast. Thank you, Oliver. And we
