Speaker 2: Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done
rewatching the pool, hy squats, Uncle starts if we could
use this pool? Polly, whoa Henry? Could you tell us
what was going on at the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the episode, Blue being going Chili
are all in one room because they're buring up, and
Blue is talking to the fan, asking Chili, what are
we going to do today? And Chili tells Blue that
they're not going to do anything unless she cleans her teeth.
Blue says that she's so boring, and then Bandit comes
in and he says that Uncle Stripe said that they
could use their pool while they're gone right.
Speaker 2: Blue is talking into the fans so that she sounds
like a robot. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've done that multiple times.
Speaker 4: I think everybody's done that before.
Speaker 2: And Blue's saying that brushing your teeth is boring makes
Chili say something about boring things. Stella, what did she
tell her?
Speaker 3: She says that just because something's boring doesn't I mean,
it can't be.
Speaker 2: Important, right, like brushing your teeth. That's important, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: Did you guys notice at the very beginning, you know
how each episode starts with a establishing shot of the
house and then goes to the inside or whatever it
is they're doing, and we hear like a down version
of the theme Da da da du just it was
like a surf guitar sound.
Speaker 4: I did not notice that. That's cool.
Speaker 2: Bennett said that Stripe is letting them use their pool
while he is gone on a trip to someplace. Stella,
where was it?
Speaker 3: BALI?
Speaker 2: Very good, that's right. They're trying to get out the door,
and Chili is saying that they need to remember a
bunch of stuff. Stella, what was she saying they needed
to take?
Speaker 3: She said that they need to take the important stuff
and not just the fun stuff.
Speaker 2: Right. Bluie had many things to say about this on
the drive.
Speaker 3: Fast, isn't she she is? Mum always makes us do
so many boy things. She does man's way more fun.
Speaker 2: I am ban it was pretty brave with Chili not
in the car, wouldn't you say, Amanda?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure he was enjoying the accolades he was
getting from Bluie, Bingo asked him a very important question, though, Amanda,
what was it?
Speaker 4: She was asking him what all these letters spelled?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a random string of letters.
Speaker 5: Yes, just aaaa you you you you, And she just
kept going on and on.
Speaker 2: I remember doing that when I was a kid, or
I would scribble something on a piece of paper thinking
that it would somehow make a word and ask my parents,
what does this say?
Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that too.
Speaker 2: Ban it makes up a word that Bingo's letters spelled,
and it sure made her happy. When they get to
Stripe's house, they ride away experience some issues, Amanda, how
does that start out?
Speaker 5: Bandit gets out of the car and he's waiting for
the girls to get out. We see Bandit has his
flip flops on so the sidewalk won't burn his feet,
but Bluie doesn't seem to have her flip flops on,
so the only thing that he can do is carry
both of the girls at the same time back to
the pool so they don't have to walk on the
hot sidewalk and burn their little feet.
Speaker 2: Right, and what did he call their flip flops?
Speaker 4: I think he called them thongs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thongs. Now, when I was a kid, that's what
we called them, and apparently that's not a thing everywhere.
And I was shocked to hear that people didn't call
him that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody calls them flip flops now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a reference to the part that goes
between your toes. That's called a thong. Right, while Bandit's
carrying everybody, Bingo is playing a game that isn't working
out so great for band Henry. What is she doing?
Speaker 3: She is pretending to be a giraffe and she is
eating the leaves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's grabbing a hold of all of them. And
it's not only slow and Bandit down, but when they
spring back, it's hitting him. I don't think he enjoyed
that too much. He manages to get all the way
to the gate and Blue he's hanging off of it.
It's a pretty cool gate too. Everything was clear like
it must have been acrylic or plexiglass or glass. But
what did Blue do?
Speaker 3: Blue was hanging on the gate and then Bandit tried
to open it. But since Blue was hanging on the gate,
her weight made the gate immanly close.
Speaker 2: Well, we can see we're off to a good start
on this trip to the pool, and I can totally relate.
I've done things where I didn't plan well enough and
didn't have the stuff that I needed. When we got there,
right away, blue asked for something, Henry, what was it?
Speaker 3: Bluey asked for her rashie.
Speaker 2: Which is like a swim shirt, and not only does
she not have it to help keep the sun off
of her, what else have they forgotten?
Speaker 3: They forgot the sunscreen?
Speaker 2: No sunscreen, no rashie. So far they're not doing so well,
and Bandit tells them that they're gonna have to stay
in the shady bit because there's another thing they don't
have Stella. What was it?
Speaker 3: They don't have hats either.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Bluie jumps in cannonball style and Bingo's ready to go,
but she sees something. Stella, What is happening?
Speaker 3: She sees the pool cleaner and she gets scared of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a pool robot that crawls around and
cleans the water. Yeah, she was not a fan. Would
that have scared you when you were little?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Honestly, Bingo's frustrated because she doesn't want to be near
that thing, and She asks if her dad brought something
so that she can get in the pool and have
fun in Stella. What was it that she was missing?
Speaker 3: She asked for her floaties, but they did not have
her floaties.
Speaker 2: No floaties, no rashie, no sunscreen, no hats. It's really
starting to pile up. Bingo is disappointed to find out
that she is going to have to stay on the
shallow steps bit of the pool. She is not happy.
Not only is that Crawley thing out there bugging her,
but now she can't even get past the steps. Blue
asked her dad a question, Amanda, what was it?
Speaker 5: Blue asks her dad if he thinks that she can
swim all the way to the end of the pool,
and he said, yeah, I think you can do that, kid,
But she said, no, Dad, you're supposed to pretend like
you don't think that I can do it, and so
he said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's no way anybody
could swim that far, and so she starts to swim,
but he has to stop her before or she can
get to the end of the pool because that is
where the sun is shining towards the end of the pool,
and so she can't go that far.
Speaker 2: Just yet Yeah, almost going to set a world record
for swimming and denied so close. Bannett jumps in and
he has an awesome line. Now, let's josef. Once he's
in the water, he's holding up a pool noodle for
Blue to jump over. Henry, what happens?
Speaker 3: Blue keeps telling him to move it higher, higher and higher.
Dean moves it a little too high.
Speaker 2: Shoo.
Speaker 3: She tells him to move it a little bit lower,
and then she jumps in and she comes back out
and she says that her eyes are stinging, and Bannett says,
did you bring your goggles? And Blue says no.
Speaker 2: With no goggles, she can't do another thing she was
wanting to do. What was that She.
Speaker 3: Won't be able to swim to the bottom of the pool,
so then she could get to sinkies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they didn't bring those either, So I guess
it really doesn't matter, does it. Now? Things are starting
to get out of hand. No goggles, no sinkies, no sunscreen,
no rashie bluey ass. Is the shady bit going to
get bigger the longer we stay? Or is it going
to get shorter? Henry? What did bandit say?
Speaker 3: Bandit said dale's gonna get bigger, but then it started
the girl smaller right as he said that, and then
later he says I meant smaller.
Speaker 2: Well. By now the girls are pretty frustrated with his
whole ordeal. I'm bored, Hi boored. It's nice to meet you.
Oh hello, Hungry, this is poored tough, crowd selling Henry.
I need to ask you guys something. How did you
feel when you heard bandit saying what is probably the
most dad of dad jokes of all time.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of you alive because you used to
do that with us all the time. I used to
get annoyed by it. I was like, Dad, my name's
not Hungry, it's Henry.
Speaker 4: He still does it sometimes, Yeah, he does.
Speaker 2: Stella. Have I ever one single time done that?
Speaker 3: You definitely have?
Speaker 2: You just one single time?
Speaker 3: No more times than one.
Speaker 2: If you had to guess how many times, how many
times would you say?
Speaker 3: It was probably thousands or millions of times.
Speaker 2: I can't deny that that is probably accurate. It's probably millions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's probably not wrong.
Speaker 2: Now they're all hungry and there's no food, and everybody
has had it pretty much with this bandit gets out
and because they don't have any towels, he goes to
shake himself off. Did anybody notice anything about that, in.
Speaker 4: Particular that he shook like a dog?
Speaker 2: Right? But there was something else.
Speaker 3: I did notice that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like the tag on a dog's collar,
even though he's not wearing one. I'm like, oh my gosh,
that's so funny because that's exactly what our dogs sound
like whenever they try to shake themselves off if they've
gotten wet. Blue wants to dry off, but she doesn't
have any towels. Stell, what does her dad tell her
to do?
Speaker 3: He tells her to just shake off, but she has
not learned how to yet.
Speaker 2: I thought it was so cute when she gave it
a go. I love the way they animated, and it
was such a little kid thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was such a little kid thing.
Speaker 5: I remember when these kids would try to do something
for the first time and they didn't quite get it
just right, but it would be funny, like in a
good way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very cute. She sure did try, though. Bingo
is refusing to get out and has a grip on
the bar and Bandit can't get her out of the pool.
What is she doing Amanda.
Speaker 4: Bandit is trying his hardest to get her out of
the pool, but she keeps holding on, saying no, no, no,
there's no way I'm getting out of this pool. But
then suddenly we see her get out of that pool
with no problem because here comes the pool cleaner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she came flying out of there. Then the girls
have really changed their tune on how cool or not
cool band It is? Okay, can everyone stop saying dad?
Speaker 3: I think guy actually boring? That is way more fun.
Speaker 2: But just then Henry who comes to save the day.
Speaker 3: Chili comes with all the pool stuff that they forgot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she was really good natured about it. But
I thought that she might give Bandit a hard time,
but she was super cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the same. Here, now they're able to
play all the thumb pool games. We see Bluey gan
the sinky's and Bingo swimming with her floaties on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bandit taking both the girls and doing the torpedo
move where he swims with him on him. One of
the games they played, Have you guys ever done this
the yell underwater to see if the person could tell
what you were saying?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done that before. I've definitely done that.
Speaker 2: Has it worked? Have you ever been able to tell
what somebody was saying?
Speaker 3: No? No, not really.
Speaker 2: What did Bingo think that Blue was talking about stella.
Speaker 3: Something about ballet class.
Speaker 2: Did Blue say whether or not that was right?
Speaker 3: I don't think she did.
Speaker 2: I think she just laughed about it. While Blue is underwater,
she looks up and sees something very very sweet. Amanda,
what do we see?
Speaker 5: She sees a bandit and Chili give a little smooch
to each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get close to each other and smooch, and
it's a cool perspective because it's like the camera is
underwater looking straight up at them. Yeah, it was really nice.
And that was the episode. Henry, did we miss anything?
Speaker 4: Nope?
Speaker 3: 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? Well?
Speaker 3: I think we're supposed to learn Today's that sometimes the
boring stuff might be boring, but sometimes it will be
very important, like brushing your teeth and bringing the important
pool stuff to the pool.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, anybody else?
Speaker 4: I learned that moms are not always boring.
Speaker 2: I already knew that, though you're awesome.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I think Henry said it pretty well.
Speaker 2: I do think that the theme of being responsible doesn't
necessarily mean that you're just ruining a good time. In
this case, all they were thinking about was having fun,
but forgetting the important stuff stopped him from having any fun.
They couldn't do any of the stuff they wanted, all
the stuff that they talked about that was boring. They
missed out on doing any of the fun stuff because
you need that. It's kind of like, oh man, now
I'm an adult and I have to do all this
stuff like paybills and all that. But if you don't
do it well, you don't have a place to sit
and record a podcast. You don't have all of these
other things. So the two things go together absolutely. One
other thing I guess you could call it a lesson
is that the girls know that Bandit is good naturedly
agreeing with them that yeah, he's super awesome fun and
Mom's boring. They know that he doesn't really think poorly
of Chili, and I think that that's important when mom
and dad like that have to be respectful to each other,
because it would have been really easy for Chili to
just come in and.
Speaker 3: Go well, well, well, look at this bitty dee deee.
Speaker 2: But she didn't, and I thought all those things went together.
They have a really healthy dynamic in front of the kids.
And I thought it was nice too that Bluie didn't
pretend like she was getting grossed out when she saw
Mom and Dad smooth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seemed like she thought it was sweet. Yeah,
when she saw it.
Speaker 2: She's probably just so thankful Mom showed up with the
fun stuff Mom for the whim. Does anybody have any
parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 3: Whenever I saw them swim in the pool, it made
me think, man, I would like to swim. I think
this episode is really cute, and honestly, being able to
swim around in a big pool like that seems really fun.
Speaker 5: I just thought the episode was cute how it all
worked out in the end and they were all having
a great time together.
Speaker 2: I think seeing them having fun together is one of
the best parts of the show. They're such a cool
little family and it reminds me of our family Mom, Dad,
the two kids that are semi close in age to
each other, and the dynamics that that creates.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you, it does it reminds me
of us too.
Speaker 2: Swimming around in a big pool does seem pretty sweet.
And let's face it, it won't be too long from
now before it's hot enough to go swimming, so yeah,
we can probably do that sooner rather than later. Yeah,
I'm curious as to what Stripe does for a living,
because boy, he's got a pretty sweet place happening there.
That fence around the pool being all clear like that,
I don't know. That seems pretty cool to me. Have
you ever seen a thing like that? I have not.
Speaker 4: It was pretty cool, though, I agree.
Speaker 2: Good on him. I wonder if he's there for work
or if they were on vacation because it could have
been on a holiday because we didn't see the kids
either or tricksy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, who knows. Hopefully it was a vacation that would
be more fun than work.
Speaker 2: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine taking a road trip with MafA though.
Speaker 4: Yikes, that would really be something.
Speaker 2: Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome. And speaking of
things that we think are awesome, Henry, what should we
do next?
Speaker 3: The hol outs?
Speaker 2: Okay, listen up, everyone has to clap and go whoa. Yeah,
all right, that's awesome, got it. Hooray. Our fans are
the best. We are so so thankful for you guys.
We love hearing from you.
Speaker 4: We sure do.
Speaker 5: We wouldn't do the show without you, you guys, and
we're just so grateful for all the love that you
send us and the five star reviews, and you guys
are amazing.
Speaker 2: Speaking of five star reviews, we'll get to that in
just a second, but first let's take a look at
the comments on Spotify. We heard from Sarah, who likes
the episode favorite thing because she's the older one in
her family too, Party Cappy Bara, Julia, Shaylee, Vinny, Darcy Lee, Sophie.
We heard from someone whose user name is Moon, Brion Harper, Gabriella, Alex, Alice,
Ray McKinley, someone whose user name is is im something
something Patrick who asks about the upcoming Star Wars movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, I'm so excited for that movie.
Speaker 2: Daisy and Ivy. Oh and by the way, speaking of Alex,
you guys have gotta go see his comments. You just
gotta go see him. I'm not gonna tell you what
they are. You gotta go. We got some emails. We
heard from Teddy, who sent us a picture of his
cool dinner with the Healer's T shirt. Awesome. And we
heard from Myra and we also got a voice message
from our friend Brendan.
Speaker 1: 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 Bluey episode driving
driving along.
Speaker 3: Oh it's magic? Uh?
Speaker 2: Is that enough?
Speaker 3: Driving?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Thanks Mom, I'm sorry, Bluie.
Speaker 4: I'm not very good at this game.
Speaker 3: That's okay, asumply tea party with Agusa.
Speaker 2: It's just the driving around in circles. I think I'm
better when I've got a purpose, like doing things.
Speaker 1: For people, you know, Okay, hmm, yeah, Joe's got to
get point there. In order to play the game driving,
she needs to have an actual purpose on pretending to
be a vehicle. That is a very good solid point there, Chili,
very good solid point.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: I will talk to you again soon.
Speaker 4: Bye bye, Brendan.
Speaker 5: As always, it's great to hear from you, and thank
you for sending us another great clip. I agree with you,
agreeing with Chili. To play something like that, it is
kind of hard to go along with it if you
don't have a purpose, it would get pretty boring. I
hate to say, because anytime you want to play with
your kids, you want them to be having fun and
you want them to see you having fun as well.
So you really playing together. You got to have something
you guys can kind of both get into.
Speaker 2: I think the trick here is is the improvisation part
Chili that's not her wheelhouse. Yes, like she has a
great imagination and can have fun, but in this case,
the idea is is that she just improvises, Oh, we're
going here and we're doing this thing and dah dah dah.
But she's wanting more input from blue and let Bluey
guide the scenario in the play. But with improvisation you
hand it off to each other and run with it. Yes,
and it's easier for Chili if somebody else is sort
of laying out the scenario in front of her and
she can operate inside the confines of that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I.
Speaker 2: Totally get that it can be tricky, Yes, it can.
Thank you for the voice message, Brendan. It's always so
awesome to hear from you. You guys have probably figured
it out, but that is Brendan. At the end of
each episode, after Henry says bye, and you hear the
once again. Brendan sang it like that in a voice message,
and I took it and I added two more notes
of me singing with it to make it that big,
huge vocal stinger right before the outro. Brendan, thank you
for that, and thank you for being such a good
sport about it.
Speaker 4: I love that ID two. You're awesome, Brendan.
Speaker 2: We got some reviews on Apple podcasts. I talk about
this all the time, and I'm going to talk about
it again. There are reviews up in front of the
most recent ones I saw that have dates that are
older than when I looked at them last week. So
thank you for that Apple podcast. However, Amanda mentioned the
five star reviews. We have a surprising number of people
whose reviews say how much the enjoy the podcast, yet
somehow they're one star, oh no, or three stars. What
if you do like the podcast and you leave a review,
it would really help us out if you could click
all five stars.
Speaker 4: Yes, please.
Speaker 2: It helps other people find the show, and it makes
us feel good about ourselves. And I'm not saying any
of the names. I'm getting ready to mention gave us
less than five stars. I'm just saying, if you've left
us a review and you love the show, please make
sure it's five stars. But we had a review from
Faith from Collier that's a cool name, someone whose username
is b E G y e G E something something something,
and we heard from Pill guys. Thank you for the
five star reviews. Thank you for the messages, the voice messages,
the comments, the emails. They mean the world to us
and we are always so so happy to hear from
you guys.
Speaker 4: We sure are always happy to hear from you guys.
Thank you so much. We just appreciate you all so
so much.
Speaker 2: Well, guys, until next time, we are out of here.
Speaker 4: Bye guys, Bye bye.
Speaker 2: Once again,
