Speaker 2: Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done
Speaker 2: rewatching shadow Lands.
Speaker 3: What do we play?
Speaker 2: Shore Legend said, yeah, Henry, could you tell us what
Speaker 2: was going on at the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the episode, Louie, Snickers, and Coco
Speaker 3: were playing what was the Time? Missus Wolf? Coco was
Speaker 3: the wolf, and right when they got behind her, she
Speaker 3: said darenthime, saying she could get them easily. Bluie said
Speaker 3: a Coco that you always do this and that he
Speaker 3: changed the rules sydey can make the game easier. So
Speaker 3: then Snickers suggested that they should play shadow Lands.
Speaker 2: Right, so they're at the park. It looks like and Henry,
Speaker 2: what is what's the time? Missus Wolf?
Speaker 3: What it is is twere one person is the wolf
Speaker 3: and everybody else has to listen to a wolf because
Speaker 3: they'll ask what's the time, and they'll say, for example,
Speaker 3: say five, so then they'll have to walk five steps closer,
Speaker 3: and then at one point the wolf will say dinnertime,
Speaker 3: and then the wolf have to chase them and tag them.
Speaker 2: Right. It's kind of like Simon says, or red light,
Speaker 2: green light, Yeah, where they get closer and closer and
Speaker 2: then you try to get them. Blue's saying that Coco
Speaker 2: always waits until they're all the way up there before
Speaker 2: she says dinner time, so it's easier for her, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool that when Blue tells
Speaker 2: Coco you always do this, her reaction was that she
Speaker 2: didn't realize it and she was going to try to
Speaker 2: do better. She didn't get a defensive and say how
Speaker 2: dare you or anything like that, which I thought that
Speaker 2: was pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. She was being very good about listening
Speaker 4: to her friend and not just acting like she's being
Speaker 4: accused of something.
Speaker 2: You know, right, Stella, could you tell us what is
Speaker 2: shadow Lands?
Speaker 3: Sharland's is a game where you have to stay on
Speaker 3: the shadows because the sunlight is water where they're a
Speaker 3: crocodile and they are trying to get from where they
Speaker 3: are to the picnic blanket where their parents are.
Speaker 2: Right, so the sun shining down on the grass and
Speaker 2: anywhere a shadow gets cast, they can walk on that.
Speaker 2: That's what's safe, right, Yeah, that sounds pretty cool, but
Speaker 2: it sure looks like it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2: Blue wanted to make sure she got something out of
Speaker 2: the way right then.
Speaker 5: He can't just change the rules. It makes it easy
Speaker 5: this time. Okay, n I want you promise.
Speaker 2: I promise, Amanda. How does the game go for them?
Speaker 4: The game was going pretty good for them. They were
Speaker 4: all able to jump from shadow to shadow without having
Speaker 4: any problems. But then they get to a point where
Speaker 4: Snickers has an issue trying to get from one shadow
Speaker 4: to the other because of his little legs, and Coco says, well,
Speaker 4: how about just this one time, we pretend that he
Speaker 4: has crocodile proof shoes and he can just walk across
Speaker 4: where it's Sonny and the crocodiles can get him. And
Speaker 4: then Blue says, see, that's what I was talking about.
Speaker 4: We can't change the rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was exactly what Blue is getting at. And
Speaker 2: in this case, Coco had the best of intention. She
Speaker 2: wasn't making it to where she would win. She was
Speaker 2: just trying to help out Snickers, which I thought was sweet.
Speaker 2: It was very sweet, Henry, the girls came up with
Speaker 2: a different plan. What did they end up doing?
Speaker 3: Blue and Coco ran over somewhere, and Blue had Coco
Speaker 3: get on her shoulders and their shadows made enough land
Speaker 3: for Snickers to jump onto so he can get across.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his little dog legs were able to get him
Speaker 2: across there, and he made it. Right after that, they're
Speaker 2: jumping across the shadows of the cars that are parked
Speaker 2: up on the street and Blue gets distracted. What does
Speaker 2: she see?
Speaker 3: She sees a bug that it's like bird poop.
Speaker 2: I love that, That's what she said too. She got
Speaker 2: so busy looking at it that something bad happened. Estella.
Speaker 2: What goes on?
Speaker 3: The car that was making the shadow that she was
Speaker 3: standing in started driving away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Bluie was backing up as fast as she
Speaker 2: could once she realized what was happening, And when she
Speaker 2: makes a dive for it and throws herself down, miraculously
Speaker 2: she's safe. But now she's trapped. Amanda, what happens?
Speaker 4: Well, they're trying to figure out how on earth Bluie
Speaker 4: is going to get from the land that she's on
Speaker 4: to the other side, and Coco once again comes up
Speaker 4: with an idea to maybe, just this time, they could
Speaker 4: break the rules. So b Louie could get across.
Speaker 3: How about it.
Speaker 5: Just pretending this st it o the crocodile's eyes sleep.
Speaker 4: You can't change your up?
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 2: Because then along what did they end up doing?
Speaker 4: They saw that there was a bus coming along the street,
Speaker 4: and Coco and Snickers told Bluie to get ready to run,
Speaker 4: and as the bus is driving by, it closes up
Speaker 4: the gap of the land, so she can run from
Speaker 4: shadow to shadow. But she has to run really quickly
Speaker 4: because that bus is not stopping. It is just going
Speaker 4: on down the street. And she gets there, but ooh,
Speaker 4: it is really close.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised there weren't flames being left on the grass
Speaker 2: from how fast she was going. She was moving. The
Speaker 2: very next obstacle they get to doesn't seem like it's
Speaker 2: going to be too difficult, Henry. What ends up happening though?
Speaker 3: They start walking, but then the wind starts blowing the
Speaker 3: tree back and forth, so they have to keep moving
Speaker 3: back and forth. They think they're gonna fall into the sun.
Speaker 3: But they make it to the end, and they're so
Speaker 3: close to getting to the picnic blanket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty close, and there's a chance that
Speaker 2: maybe somebody's feet had gotten outside of the shadow. I
Speaker 2: remember when we watched this three years ago that Henry
Speaker 2: pointed out that they should have been out because they
Speaker 2: gotten a sign. I'm like, man, you are just no
Speaker 2: mercy on these four little kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, no bending the rules there.
Speaker 2: Huh No, they did. They made it. It was pretty
Speaker 2: scary though it was close. But now they're on a
Speaker 2: palm tree island and they're so upset.
Speaker 5: They got on a palm tree island.
Speaker 4: Oh no, ritis must be hungry. Oh I brought something full.
Speaker 2: Chili and the other moms see the kids rying, and
Speaker 2: she does something to make it even worse. Stella, what
Speaker 2: does she do?
Speaker 3: Chili tells the kids that there's cupcakes.
Speaker 2: Oof. They want those cupcakes pretty bad, don't they, kid?
Speaker 2: Yeah they do, Amanda, did those cupcakes look good to you?
Speaker 6: Um?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's alrising a springles spring cools.
Speaker 2: The kids were bummed out that they might not be
Speaker 2: able to get to them. At this point, Coco wants
Speaker 2: to change the rules again. Amanda, what is she saying
Speaker 2: they should be able to do?
Speaker 4: Coco thinks that they should play the game where they
Speaker 4: can just walk across the water so they can get
Speaker 4: over to the cupcakes, because that girl really wants her cupcake.
Speaker 4: But there's no way that they can do this, and
Speaker 4: Snickers suggests that the only way that you could walk
Speaker 4: across the water is if you were a water boatman.
Speaker 2: I remember when we watched this the first time, that
Speaker 2: we didn't know what water boatmen were, and it seems
Speaker 2: so familiar to me, and I had to look it
Speaker 2: up later after we recorded the episode. I was thinking,
Speaker 2: maybe it was a guy standing on a paddle board
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, but what it is, it's a bug.
Speaker 2: You know, those bugs like we see it on Papa's
Speaker 2: pond that can kind of skid her around on top
Speaker 2: of the water. Yeah, those are called water boatmen, that's
Speaker 2: what they are. And Snickers is right, water boatmen could
Speaker 2: get across there, but none of them are water boatmen.
Speaker 4: This is true.
Speaker 2: Henry Chili is making this whole thing even worse. What
Speaker 2: is she saying?
Speaker 3: She said that she was gonna eat all their cupcakes
Speaker 3: if they don't get over there.
Speaker 2: Oh, Coco said, that's it. She is just going to
Speaker 2: go ahead and change the rules and go and Bluie
Speaker 2: tells her, you can't change the rules.
Speaker 5: You can't just change the rule but he still hasn't
Speaker 5: told me why, Well, because I didn't know.
Speaker 2: See, there's no reason Blue's been enforcing these rules the
Speaker 2: whole time. But it turns out she's not sure why
Speaker 2: you can't break the rules. Is that what was happening?
Speaker 3: Henry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to get across and they don't see
Speaker 2: any other way, and both Snickers and Coco say let's
Speaker 2: just forget the rules and go and Blue was pretty upset,
Speaker 2: wasn't she, Stella.
Speaker 3: Yeah she was.
Speaker 2: They were getting ready to go ahead across, but then
Speaker 2: something happened, Stella, what was it?
Speaker 3: A big cloud came over and blocked out the sun.
Speaker 2: Bluie is filled with hope when she sees the cloud
Speaker 2: coming in, and suddenly poof the entire ground is shadow, Amanda,
Speaker 2: what happens?
Speaker 4: The kids take off running towards a picnic blanket, and
Speaker 4: they're telling Snickers to run your little sausage dog legs
Speaker 4: so they can get there before the cloud moves away
Speaker 4: from the sun. Well, on their way there, Snickers tripped,
Speaker 4: and Blue and Coco go back and pick him up
Speaker 4: like they're carrying a log, and they run, run, run,
Speaker 4: and they make it to the picnic blanket.
Speaker 2: I love that part when they were carrying them like that,
Speaker 2: talk about good friends too they are, and Snickers he's
Speaker 2: keenly aware of what his little legs do to limit him,
Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, okay, this is what we're doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's cool with it. Oh.
Speaker 2: When they get over there and they're celebrating, Henry, what
Speaker 2: realization do they come to?
Speaker 3: They realize that the reason why you don't want to
Speaker 3: change the rules is because that's what makes the game fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the challenge, isn't it. Yeah. We cut to
Speaker 2: the next thing. They're playing what's the time Missus Wolf again,
Speaker 2: and Chili sees that Snickers is living his best life.
Speaker 1: I got cake for ee chance nicause you got it
Speaker 1: made in the shade.
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty funny that she said made
Speaker 2: in the shade. After their whole game, the point was
Speaker 2: them staying in the shade, right, That was pretty cute, Henry.
Speaker 2: What happens with their game this time?
Speaker 3: They're talking about how they might think it'll be dinner
Speaker 3: time this time, and Louie says, no, it's not. Coco's
Speaker 3: just gonna wait for us to be up closer, and
Speaker 3: then she yells dinner time and everybody starts running and
Speaker 3: Blue's like, wait what.
Speaker 2: Bluie said? It will be Coco always blah. And I
Speaker 2: thought it was funny that Coco's mom is right there
Speaker 2: and Bluie is trash talking her friend right in front
Speaker 2: of her friend's mom. But boy, Coco sure showed her
Speaker 2: a thing too, didn't she.
Speaker 4: She sure did.
Speaker 2: And 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: Would somebody like to tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 3: I think I learned that having the rules are is
Speaker 3: always good. Or else there's no challenge, it's not as fun.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, very good? Anybody else?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with Henry, it's best to follow the
Speaker 4: rules when it comes to playing the game because sometimes
Speaker 4: games like this one, it was a little challenging, and
Speaker 4: if you don't follow the rules and play by the rules,
Speaker 4: then it kind of takes the challenge out of the
Speaker 4: game and makes it it could make it a little
Speaker 4: less fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Coco had the best of intent. She
Speaker 2: was just trying to make it easy. She wasn't trying
Speaker 2: to subversive and cheat or anything. She just wanted to
Speaker 2: make it to where everybody could go along and do
Speaker 2: their thing and not have to stress out too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it turns out the challenge is the fun part,
Speaker 2: even though it's difficult. Oh yeah, how about you, Stella?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think Moms said it pretty good.
Speaker 2: One thing I would throw in there is that the
Speaker 2: reward of the cupcakes was even sweeter after they overcame
Speaker 2: the challenge. If they had just given up and walked across,
Speaker 2: I don't think the cupcakes would have seemed quite as awesome.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. They still would have been awesome,
Speaker 2: just not quite as awesome.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the payoff the challenge makes the payoff all the
Speaker 2: more excellent.
Speaker 4: There you go, Yes, I agree.
Speaker 2: Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4: You know, I still liked this episode as much as
Speaker 4: I did when we watched it and talked about it
Speaker 4: a few years ago. It's cute. I love seeing Blue
Speaker 4: play with her friends. You know, we didn't see Bingo
Speaker 4: in this one, and it was just Blue in her
Speaker 4: friends and I enjoy watching that and that snickers. He
Speaker 4: sure is a cutie.
Speaker 3: I think this episode is probably one of my most
Speaker 3: favorite ones. And also I'm pretty sure this is the
Speaker 3: first episode to where it's just Blue in her Friends
Speaker 3: and there's niney bingo. Yeah, and band It wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, band It wasn't in this one,
Speaker 2: but it was still good. Nonetheless, you know, he's my fav.
Speaker 3: Now, just imagine the episode both Bandit was in there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know what he would have done in this one,
Speaker 2: so I think it worked out just fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I like the game that they played, the
Speaker 4: shadow Lands. That looked fun.
Speaker 2: It was It's a lot like the floor is lava
Speaker 2: when you think about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of just spread out more, yeah, just outside.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like Snicker's character. I think he's a good character.
Speaker 3: I wish we could see him more in the series.
Speaker 2: He's pretty cute. I like his little tiny sausage dog legs,
Speaker 2: and I like how comfortable he is in his own
Speaker 2: skin too. It's like, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: I'm a sausage dog, got a little sausage.
Speaker 4: My little legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's fun. It's fun to see them playing.
Speaker 2: I like to see the ingenuity, and it is cool
Speaker 2: to see the way kids interact with each other. They
Speaker 2: really nailed it with the writing the way blue He's like, oh, Coco,
Speaker 2: and Coco coming back to tell Blueie matter of factly,
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I just thought that was neat.
Speaker 2: They're honesty and openness was really cool with each other.
Speaker 2: This is a good one. Yeah, it's a really good one.
Speaker 2: We think Bluie is awesome. And speaking of things that
Speaker 2: we think are awesome, Henry, what should we do next?
Speaker 2: The howl outs, Okay, listen up. Everyone has to clap
Speaker 2: and go whoa yet? All right? That's awesome? Got it? Ooray?

Speaker 2: and I said, well, Eli, we would love to hear that.
Speaker 4: That's cool.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Witch, I didn't mention this earlier. In the
Speaker 2: French dub of Bluey, the theme song is a higher pitch,
Speaker 2: a higher key than it is on the others. I
Speaker 2: did not know that.
Speaker 4: That's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder why they did that. It's pitched up
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure why exactly. If anybody knows, send
Speaker 2: us an email. We would love to know. We got
Speaker 2: a voice message from Ellie.
Speaker 7: Hi, Dinner with the Healers. My name's Ellie, and I'm
Speaker 7: eleven years old and I love your podcast. My favorite
Speaker 7: people are Amanda and Stella and Charlie. I have a
Speaker 7: favorite moment from the episode on the Sign for you
Speaker 7: guys to hear.
Speaker 5: I think they do have eyes, but they just covered
Speaker 5: by day.
Speaker 7: Fridge Bingo is so sweet. I love your podcast. Keep
Speaker 7: on the good work.
Speaker 4: Bye, Ellie. Thank you so much for your message, and
Speaker 4: we love the Sign. It's one of our favorite episodes.
Speaker 2: Ellie, thank you so much for your message. And I
Speaker 2: think that's cute that Charlie's one of your favorites. He
Speaker 2: is pretty spectacular, Charlie the Wonder Dog. We also got
Speaker 2: a voice message from Sloan.
Speaker 5: Hi Dinner with the Healers. My name is Sloane and
Speaker 5: I'm ten years old. I love to listen to your podcast.
Speaker 5: It's the only podcast I listened to. I listen on
Speaker 5: my way to dance Eage week. I like it when
Speaker 5: you include the blue clips. I want to hear more
Speaker 5: of everybody. Talk to you again soon.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 4: Hi Sloan, thank you so much for reaching out and
Speaker 4: sending us a message, and we're so glad you love
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Sloan. That was awesome. We sure do
Speaker 2: appreciate you listening to the podcast, and it's a pretty
Speaker 2: big deal to be the only podcast somebody listens to,
Speaker 2: so that's awesome.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: We also got a voice message from Lucy and Hayes.
Speaker 4: Hi.
Speaker 5: My name is Lucy and this is my brother Hayes.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 5: My favorite characters from Bluie are Snickers, Rusty and Muffin.
Speaker 5: And my favorite thing from your podcast is when Eric
Speaker 5: gets mad at Charlie the Wonder Dog for barking too long,
Speaker 5: and Amanda and Stella are freaking out and Henry goes
Speaker 5: that it's not appropriate to do this during podcast time,
Speaker 5: so he starts singing a song to calm them down. Bye,
Speaker 5: keep up the good work.
Speaker 2: I had forgotten all about this, And this is the
Speaker 2: moment that Lucy was talking about. I'm trying to if
Speaker 2: I'm going to go up there and grab that dog.
Speaker 7: Podcast with a time of sunce because we're trying to
Speaker 7: think about what we're gonna do with our barking dog
Speaker 7: here here.
Speaker 3: Just listen to some relaxing music.
Speaker 6: Bill Man, I forgot all about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of slipped my mind to you. That
Speaker 4: was funny.
Speaker 2: It was so off the cuff kid. The problem with
Speaker 2: kids that are funny is when they know they're funny.
Speaker 2: And this kid knows that he's funny. He's a natural entertainer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guilty, I guess it was pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guess it was pretty funny. Oh my gosh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I had forgotten all about that. That was so much fun.
Speaker 2: I'm really enjoying these rewatches. Are you guys digging them?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fun to watch them again.
Speaker 2: I do enjoy it, and I don't think our opinions
Speaker 2: about the lessons changed that much. But the things we
Speaker 2: notice about the characters, I think we see more now
Speaker 2: because we know the characters better. Havn't watched the whole series.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a lot of fun. I'm looking forward
Speaker 2: to the rest of them me too. Well, guys, until
Speaker 2: next time, we are out of here.
Speaker 6: Bye guys, Bye bye.
