Speaker 2: rewatching Bob bill He's like Bob Delby had well.
Speaker 1: Wow, he's a billy and his name is Bob.
Speaker 2: Henry, could you tell us what was going on at
Speaker 2: the beginning of this episode.
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the episode, two little kids open
Speaker 3: up doors to the school because parents are willing to
Speaker 3: pick up their kids. Bingo gets called because dad is here,
Speaker 3: and Bingo runs to Dad with excitement, showing him that
Speaker 3: it's her trying to bring home Bob Bilby.
Speaker 2: Henry, who is Bob Bilby.
Speaker 3: Bob Bilby is a Bilby. That's name is Bob.
Speaker 2: That is true.
Speaker 3: Oh, and he's a puppet.
Speaker 1: He's not actively he's a puppet.
Speaker 5: He had defend.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hi, Bob, nice to meet. Banda is excited to
Speaker 2: have Bob Bilby at the house. Stella, what do you
Speaker 2: do with Bob Bilby?
Speaker 3: You will go around and just play with him and
Speaker 3: hang out with him and take pictures while you're with
Speaker 3: him and they'll put it in a scrap.
Speaker 2: Book, right the Bob Bilbie book, so that you can
Speaker 2: see the adventures that Bob gets up to. We did
Speaker 2: a similar thing when you guys were younger in school
Speaker 2: called flat Stanley. Amanda, can you explain what flat Stanley
Speaker 2: is for people who might not know.
Speaker 4: Flat Stanley is from a kid's book called Flat Stanley,
Speaker 4: and in the book he travels around different places and
Speaker 4: he gets his picture taken wherever he goes. So in
Speaker 4: the schools, the kids color a flat Stanley and glue
Speaker 4: him together. And then we find a friend or a
Speaker 4: relative that lives far away and send flat Stanley to them,
Speaker 4: and they are to take flat Stanley on adventures around
Speaker 4: their neighborhood, their town and take pictures of him visiting
Speaker 4: different historical sides or going to watch fireworks or whatever
Speaker 4: they take him to do. And they send those pictures
Speaker 4: and flat Stanley back to the family, so the kids
Speaker 4: can take the pictures to school and show everybody what
Speaker 4: there Flat Stanley did.
Speaker 2: It's a cool way to learn about other places.
Speaker 4: It really is.
Speaker 2: One of my friends live in New York City and
Speaker 2: she took pictures of flat Stanley all around there and
Speaker 2: another one my friend tours with a band and he
Speaker 2: took pictures of their life on the road, which I
Speaker 2: thought was pretty cool too. But yeah, we get to
Speaker 2: look at the Bob Bilbie book and see a couple
Speaker 2: of the places that he's been. Henry, what were some
Speaker 2: of the things that Bob had done in his book
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 3: Bob went to Jessica W's house, Bob got to learn
Speaker 3: some karate, and he got to go to Scotland with
Speaker 3: miss Terrier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when missus Terrier went on holidays, she must be
Speaker 2: one of the teachers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably she went.
Speaker 2: To Scotland and Bob had pictures from all of those places. Right.
Speaker 2: Then Bob wanted something Stella. What did he try to take?
Speaker 3: He tried to take Bandit's food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a meat pie, but Chili told me
Speaker 2: better watch out.
Speaker 4: He knows karate.
Speaker 2: Stella. What is the very first thing we see Bob
Speaker 2: doing at the healer house?
Speaker 3: They were doing a thing that they called new Cow
Speaker 3: where Bandit was the cow and Bingo got on top
Speaker 3: of Bandit while he was being the.
Speaker 2: Cow and she was holding Bob right, oh yeah she was.
Speaker 2: And who's taking their picture?
Speaker 3: Blue took their picture on her tablet.
Speaker 2: Right with the tablet, that's important because once bandit is
Speaker 2: exhausted and plops over. Bingo asked Bluie to show Bob
Speaker 2: the tablet. What's so great about the tablet? Stella.
Speaker 3: On the tablet, you can take pics and watch shows
Speaker 3: and play games.
Speaker 2: And Bingo wants Blue to show Bob this one particular game.
Speaker 4: And that's when we see Chili take the first picture
Speaker 4: of what they're doing with Bob Bilby.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Yeah, she takes it from around the corner.
Speaker 2: I think she sees what's going to happen before any
Speaker 2: of the rest of us do. They're heading somewhere in
Speaker 2: the car Amanda, and what are the kids wanting.
Speaker 4: The girls are in the backseat chanting cartoons, cartoons, cartoons,
Speaker 4: and I believe it was Chili that said, don't you
Speaker 4: want to teach Bob Bilby some car games? And they
Speaker 4: said no and start chanting again, cartoons, cartoons, And so
Speaker 4: finally they let them have the tablets so they can
Speaker 4: watch cartoons on their way to the store, and Chili
Speaker 4: took a picture of them watching the cartoons in the
Speaker 4: car with Bob Bilby.
Speaker 2: On one hand, I get it wanting to watch a
Speaker 2: screen while you're in the car because I remember being
Speaker 2: young and not having those things, and man, it made
Speaker 2: some car rides seem like they took an eternity. But
Speaker 2: you're just going to the mall. How hard can it be? Right? Right?
Speaker 2: They get to the mall, which I was impressed to see.
Speaker 2: They went to a mall and immediately they see something
Speaker 2: that gets their attention, Henry, what is it?
Speaker 3: They see the giant TVs and they start watching cartoons
Speaker 3: on them.
Speaker 2: Chili's also watching TV. What is she watching, Henry?
Speaker 3: She is watching a sport. I did really get good
Speaker 3: look at it, so I don't know what sport it is.
Speaker 2: And Bandit caught a picture of all of them watching
Speaker 2: the screens at the mall this.
Speaker 3: Time, didn't he Yeah, he got it.
Speaker 2: They're rolling home. What is happening in the car, Henry.
Speaker 3: They are one to watch cartoons again.
Speaker 2: Again, that's right, cartoons, cartoons. Bandit had this to say, kids,
Speaker 2: it's not for that thing. I'm sure Bob's secret.
Speaker 4: Yuh whatever.
Speaker 2: Chili is printing out the pictures and putting them into
Speaker 2: the Bob Bilbi book and she shows the family Stella,
Speaker 2: what do they notice immediately.
Speaker 3: They noticed that Bob Bilby does not look like he
Speaker 3: is having any fun in any of the pictures. And
Speaker 3: why is that because all he's doing is just watching
Speaker 3: shows the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, matter where they were, they were just ignoring
Speaker 2: everything going on around him and watching a screen. And
Speaker 2: it made everybody feel bad.
Speaker 6: He needs to get stealing up, Bob, watch some contoon.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yep, he doesn't look like he's having much fun.
Speaker 4: No, he doesn't, does he?
Speaker 2: Amanda What unfolds.
Speaker 4: After seeing the pictures that they took with Bob Bilbi,
Speaker 4: Bingo gets very upset and starts crying, and she runs off.
Speaker 4: The rest of the family find her and are asking
Speaker 4: her why she's so upset. She explains to them that
Speaker 4: it's because she realizes seeing the pictures that Bob is
Speaker 4: having the most boring, unexciting trip yet.
Speaker 2: Chili tries to console Bingo, but Bluie tells it how
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: This is the worst bloomy type of no book.
Speaker 2: No, that's not true. Yeah it is. It's funny how
Speaker 2: kids can be so direct and blue wasn't wrong, but
Speaker 2: I think that helped motivate everyone because it wasn't just Bengo.
Speaker 2: That felt bad. Bandit and Chili felt bad too, Yeah
Speaker 2: they did. They want to turn this whole thing around,
Speaker 2: and Blue leads off mission. What does she say about
Speaker 2: Bob Amanda.
Speaker 4: Blue explains to the family that Bob just copies what
Speaker 4: everybody else is doing, so if they do something exciting,
Speaker 4: then Bob will be doing something exciting as well.
Speaker 2: They're curious though, about how they're going to take pictures
Speaker 2: without a tablet, and Bandit has a great solution. This
Speaker 2: is all my stuff from when I used to be cool. Ah,
Speaker 2: here it is right. This is what a real camera
Speaker 2: looks like. I love that Bandit has a collection of
Speaker 2: stuff from when he used to be cool, because I
Speaker 2: feel like I relate to that very much. Right, I've
Speaker 2: got things we'll hear. Kids, Let me show you when
Speaker 2: dad used to be cool and did this and this.
Speaker 2: Do you guys think I used to be cool at all?
Speaker 3: Though you probably were cool? But you still are cool? Oh?
Speaker 2: What a good kid? What a good kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But when we show them the things from back
Speaker 4: in our day, they refer to them as artifacts.
Speaker 2: That is true, they do. Now. Something happens here that
Speaker 2: I find hilarious. The garage door goes up and there's chili.
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Bob? I feel like Bandit's response to
Speaker 2: that was probably what my response would have been, who
Speaker 2: was like, hey there, lady. It was pretty sultry.
Speaker 4: I guess, Oh goodness.
Speaker 2: Anyway, they take off, Henry, where did they go?
Speaker 3: They went to the park and they did a lot
Speaker 3: of fun things with Bob, and then they went to
Speaker 3: see fireworks.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cool how they showed the
Speaker 2: reflection of the fireworks and Bob Bilby's eyes. What do
Speaker 2: you think that represented, Henry?
Speaker 3: I think that it represents did him being amazed and having.
Speaker 4: A good time?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think so too. I think it also
Speaker 2: represented that they were seeing the world through Bob's eyes,
Speaker 2: that they were looking at everything like it was new
Speaker 2: to them. What would we show a person who was
Speaker 2: brand new to hear, had never seen any of this,
Speaker 2: and now they're realizing how exciting those things are too.
Speaker 2: They make at home and they're putting the pictures in
Speaker 2: the book, and then Bingo takes the book to school. Stella,
Speaker 2: what do we see in the book? Once Bingo's at school.
Speaker 3: Bingo showed them pictures of Bob Bilby getting to go
Speaker 3: see her dad's friend Steve O. And then she showed
Speaker 3: another picture of them going to the library to get
Speaker 3: a book.
Speaker 2: Both of those things are pretty cool. I love the library.
Speaker 2: What is it that Steve OO does stella?
Speaker 3: Steve O is a firefighter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bob got to work the siren and everything, so
Speaker 2: that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is cool.
Speaker 2: Bingo thanks Bob for visiting and hopes that he'll come again,
Speaker 2: and gave Bob to her friend Missy Amanda. How does
Speaker 2: it end?
Speaker 4: After Missy walks away with Bob Bilby? We see Beingos
Speaker 4: standing there and she's looking a little sad, but then
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, Bob Bilby comes back over and
Speaker 4: gives Bingo a great big hug. Oh it was very sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, 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: Could anyone tell us what did you learn today?
Speaker 4: Spending quality time with your family and friends without having
Speaker 4: your nose in your phone or tablet or TV is
Speaker 4: very important. We don't need those things all the time
Speaker 4: to make some great memories with our family and friends.
Speaker 3: I agree with Mom on this one. Because I can't
Speaker 3: really think of anything else. I learned that sometimes it's
Speaker 3: good to just put the screen down and just enjoy
Speaker 3: what's around you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. It's about being present in
Speaker 2: the moment because it is so easy to get distracted
Speaker 2: by so many things. I constantly get texts and emails
Speaker 2: about work or something else, and it would be really
Speaker 2: easy for me to get completely distracted from what it
Speaker 2: is we're doing together, which is one of the reasons
Speaker 2: we all put our phones and stuff on the counter
Speaker 2: in the other room when we're spending time together in
Speaker 2: the evenings, which I think is a great move. It
Speaker 2: really is. And it's tough though, because we do need
Speaker 2: those things and those devices do help us be closer
Speaker 2: together sometimes, but it's really easy to miss the whole
Speaker 2: world going by around you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't take much to get distracted by those tiny,
Speaker 4: little square devices. And it is hard, like you said,
Speaker 4: because people do text us, and it's like we don't
Speaker 4: want to miss a phone call or a message from
Speaker 4: a friend or family member if they need something. But
Speaker 4: it's very important for immediate family to yeah, drop those
Speaker 4: devices and spend quality time together.
Speaker 2: The other thing I think, too, is that the healers
Speaker 2: realize how much cool stuff that really is going on
Speaker 2: around them. It's funny there are things in every city
Speaker 2: that the local people just sort of take for granted
Speaker 2: or maybe have never even gone to look at or do,
Speaker 2: but tourists come there for that and you realize, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, I forgot how amazing the zoo is or
Speaker 2: this museum or this attraction. It's right there next to you,
Speaker 2: but you just don't even think about it. But it's
Speaker 2: a destination for other people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I never thought about it like that, Like it's
Speaker 4: a destination for other people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come there for that, And that's one of
Speaker 2: the things I liked about them seeing the world through
Speaker 2: Bob's eyes is that they're watching it like what would
Speaker 2: a person in Bob's situation be thinking or feeling? Like
Speaker 2: that's suddenly what they're thinking and feeling.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4: I still like this episode. I love how they turn
Speaker 4: things around and how it ended with them all having
Speaker 4: a great time and showing Bob Bilby a great time.
Speaker 4: It was very cute, very sweet.
Speaker 3: I thought this episode was cute, and I like being
Speaker 3: able to see them go around and play with Bob Bilby.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really cute too. I think it's
Speaker 2: a cute concept, and we actually have a Bob Bilby puppet.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we don't.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I have two of them, one for each hand.
Speaker 3: I think that this episode is a pretty good one,
Speaker 3: and I like the character of Bob Bilby. I feel
Speaker 3: like they should put them in a minishow sometime or
Speaker 3: put them in a brand new episode.
Speaker 2: That would be cool.
Speaker 4: It could be just the Bob Bilby episode, be all
Speaker 4: about Bob.
Speaker 2: I enjoy this episode quite a bit. It really hits
Speaker 2: home with the whole screen thing, and that's something we've
Speaker 2: really had to watch with these two kids as they've
Speaker 2: grown up, making sure that we stay present in the moment,
Speaker 2: not only them but us too.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, between my job, it's very demanding and side hustles
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. It's easy to have it take over,
Speaker 2: but if you can be present in the moment, then
Speaker 2: that's all that matters. There was one thing that we
Speaker 2: didn't mention because it wasn't really part of the episode,
Speaker 2: but something was going on during the credits. Henry, what
Speaker 2: was it in the credits?
Speaker 3: There was a kid that looked a lot like Winton
Speaker 3: and he was picking his nose and he was really
Speaker 3: digging deep in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was digging for gold. Now listen, we were
Speaker 2: watching the blu ray set that is supposed to be
Speaker 2: the original unedited versions from when they aired in Australia,
Speaker 2: and I look to see what the differences were, and
Speaker 2: it mentioned one difference, and we watched it and it
Speaker 2: did not portray the activity that happened at the end
Speaker 2: of that that the article I read on the internet
Speaker 2: set it would And if you want to know what
Speaker 2: that is, you can just look it up yourself. But
Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you this gross. Anything to
Speaker 2: gross too, that might have been gross. But we think
Speaker 2: Bluie is awesome. And speaking of things that we think
Speaker 2: are awesome, Henry, what should we do next?
Speaker 3: The howl outs?
Speaker 2: Okay, listen up.
Speaker 1: Everyone has to clap and go whoa Yeah, all right,
