I like your podcast and I like Stella, Amanda Avic

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Thank you so much for sending us a voice message.
It was really great to hear from you, and I'm
glad that you like all of us here the podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, thank you so much. We also got a voice
message from Rory and.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Phoenix Hi, Dinner with the Healers. My name is Rory
and this is my sister Phoenix. Hi, and my favorite
moment is when Henry says that what they were doing
at the beginning was dancing on a blue screen, and
Phoenix's favorite moment is Okay, she doesn't remember, so I
(05:03):
guess in our next voice she can tell you bye.
I don't know what she said, but I think it
meant bye, okay bye for real.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Thank you so much for sending us a voice message.
It was great to hear from you guys. Henry, do
you remember saying that part?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, I remember when I said it Dad. He would
always use it as a joke, so I thought it
would be funny if I said on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it was pretty good. I do, guys, behind the scenes,
when we're sitting here, I always say so. In this episode,
they're all dancing, and then I hear a lot of this,
which is that's probably fair. We got an email from Aubrey, Alana, Jonah,
and Zoe. We want to wish a big, happy belated
(05:53):
birthday to Evelyn. Happy birthday, Evelyn. We hope it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Happy birthday, Evelyn.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Happy birthday, Happy Birthday.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
We got an email from AUBREYO congratulating us on one
and fifty episodes, and we also got an email from Alice.
Oh my gosh, thank you guys so so much for
all of the messages and the kind words and the
five star reviews. We could not do this without you, guys.
(06:24):
The fans.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you guys are awesome. And we love, love love
hearing from you all, so thank you so much for
all the messages. You guys are just fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, guys, we just got done watching The Decider.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Welcome back to The Decider.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It is win at Tit to nine, Stella. Could you
tell us what is going on? At the beginning of
this episode.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Bandit, Bluie and Bingo are getting ready to watch a
sports game and Pat, Lucky and Chucky come over to
watch it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
With them exactly and do you remember what is this
particular match called, Stella?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
The Decider?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Very good? Now, where is Chili? Chili is at the
game right because Frisky got tickets, Henry. What sport are
they playing?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
They're playing rugby.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And the Decider. Some of my friends from Australia had
to tell me how this worked because I didn't know.
I don't know very much about rugby, but the Decider.
This is called the State of Origin match and it
is like All Star Baseball where it's players from different
teams come together to represent their state. And you have
(07:43):
the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. Where
do the healers live? What state are they in? Do
you guys know Queensland. Very good because they live in Brisbane, right,
which is in Queensland? Yes, awesome? Now what color is
Queensland Maroon? Oh yeah, comrade again maroon?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Henry Bingo says that she gets to stay up late
to watch. Why is she gonna stay up so late?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Bingo's gonna stay up so late because Chili's gonna try
to wave at her well if the camera is on.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Her, right, if she shows up on camera during the game,
She's gonna wave at Bingo, and Bingo's positive that Chili's
gonna be able to do that, but Bandit says, I'm
sure she'll try her best. Amanda, where is Pat's wife Janelle?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Janelle is at home because she is rooting for the
opposite team of the Maroons. She is rooting for the
Blue because they are from where she grew up.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That's right, she's rooting for the Blues, so she's from
New South Wales. Blue asked Chucky, which is Lucky's little brother,
what team he's on? Stella? What did Chucky tell Bluie?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
He said that he couldn't really decide what team he
wanted since his dad was on one team and his
mom was on the other but he also said that
his parents said he could pick whichever team he wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
All the kids are excited for one of the teams
to score because of what.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Amanda, because that's when the grown ups dance.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, and Queensland makes it into the end zone, or
at least that's what we call it in football. Maybe
it's called something else. But what happens, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
They thought that the Maroon team scored, but the ref
said that it was no good.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yep, no try. And Janelle has some words to say
about that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
There you go, no try, no try.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Watch you all the chicks, Henry.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
As the game goes on, who gets.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
In the lead the Blues?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah? And who is happy about that?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Janelle?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And since Janelle's happy, Chucky is happy. He likes seeing
his mom happy. What do Chucky and Bluie decide to do? Henry?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They decide to go over to Janelle so then they
could watch the game with her.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Right, do you remember why they wanted.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
To because there's more dancing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Right, The Blues are scoring more often and Janelle is
dancing to celebrate. Janelle's not one hundred percent sure what
to do with blue being there?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Can we watch the game with you?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It's more dancing well, Fluey, I wouldn't normally be happy
with the marine supporter, but I'll allow it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Stella. What happens next?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
The Blue team starts yelling across the yard at the
Maroon team.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Why Bluey, what do you think you're doing?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah? They are being salty with each other. Queensland scores
and it's halftime. We see Bingo. She hasn't gotten waived
at by mom yet and what's going on with her? Stella?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
She's trying to fall asleep.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, she's so sleepy, she's covered up on the floor.
Chucky is really struggling on what team he wants to
root for. Amanda, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He said that when the blue team scores, it makes
mom happy, but when the Maroon team scores, it makes
dad the happy. And when one parent is happy, the
other one is sad.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, that is a tough spot to be in. And
he doesn't know what he's gonna do. Chucky is trying
to decide and his mom asks him who is he
gonna watch with Henry? Do you remember what Janelle called
Chucky chuckles? Yeah? Well, Lucky says that Chucky has to
choose a.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Chuckle, Who's he gonna keep watching a bit with me
and a bit with your dad?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, he has to choose one side. Why because you
can't keep changing.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He can if he wants to, Lucky, But that's not fair.
You do whatever you want, sweetheart, Stella. What does Janelle
say when Chucky decides to go with the Maroons?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
She tells him good luck, but not too much, but
you can tell that she's clearly upset.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, she is sad, Amanda. How does the game go?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well? Unfortunately for Janelle, the Blue team lost in the
Maroon team won, and we see after the game is over,
Janelle turns off the TV and turns off the lights
and is heading out of the room.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, Chucky sees his mom being sad and it really
makes him feel bad. And while Queensland is celebrating and
living it up. What happens on the tv? Amanda?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We see the camera at the game feature Trixie frisky,
and there's Mom and Bingo wakes up just in time
to see Mom wave and she gives her a little
wave back before closing her eyes again and going back
to sleep.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh it wasn't that cute.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
She was so tired, Henry.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
What happens after that?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's a whole different day and there's a new match
between two different teams.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And Chucky is super excited. And why is that?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Because there's a gold team and all of them are
on it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yet both of his parents and Blooie and Bengo and
the whole Healer family.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
What are those ding dongs doing out there?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Guys? If you hear what sounds like a herd of
ponies running around, our dogs are upstairs going bonkers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It sounds like.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'm so happy for Chucky, But I'm also super happy
for Janelle at this point, because I bet that was
really tough for her to be by herself over there.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm sure it was to.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Not only see her team lose, but to be alone
like that. Everybody's excited that they're all on the Gold
team except you and Mit McKenzie.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You got that, Gunny.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We gotta.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Mackenzie's family. They're rooting for the Kiwi's and boy, oh boy,
these people are salty, salty sports fans. Stella, do you
get like that about sports? No, your main sport is chess, right, Yeah,
Whenever you're at a chess match. Do you always hope
that you'll look over and see mom over there on
the side of the room when you're doing a match
and she's going, yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Stella, No, because number one, that'd be really distracting, and
number two, you guys will probably get asked to leave.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
That would be pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Though you have to be quite chess. The chess players
know the chess players must concentrate, of course.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I think that would be impossible. And that was the episode, Henry,
Did we miss anything?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Actually we did forget something. We forgot to mention how
happy they were when the pizza arrived at the Healer's
house during halftime.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh yeah, they were really stoked on that, weren't they.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
You know what, I think we should get some pizza now.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Maybe we should. Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Did we learn anything today, Amanda?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Could you tell us what were we supposed to learn today?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I think what we were supposed to learn is that
it's important for us to be supportive of each other
and our families. Even though Pat and Janelle were rooting
for different teams, they for the most part were being
pretty kind with each other about whose team was better
and everything. But we see at the end of the episode,
they're all rooting for the same team, and it seems
(16:59):
to make every happier. So I think we need to
be respectful of each other's feelings and come together and
support each other.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
What about you, Stella, do you have anything?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I actually don't. Henry same here, I don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
This is a tricky one and I think there are
a lot of layers to this that we could look at.
There's a lot of comparisons you could make to things
that families might go through, not just sports where mom
and dad are on opposite sides of an issue, for example,
in the case of divorce or something like that, where
(17:44):
the kids are in the middle. And Pat and Janelle
did a good job of not forcing their kids to
take one side or the other. And that was tough though,
because like an other circumstances, both boys see their parents
feeling sad when the other one is happy and vice versa.
(18:09):
So them trying to find their way through that was
really tough. And that can be the same with lots
of things, whether it's religion or politics or anything else.
Those kinds of things can be very dividing amongst families
or groups of friends. And that sort of thing, and
when it stops being good natured and can move toward
(18:34):
being mean, that's when things can really get out of hand,
and in this particular instance, they did a good job
of navigating that. And the tough thing though for Janelle
is that the teams are at such odds with each
other that they couldn't even watch the game in the
same house. They're watching the same game, but they had
(18:55):
to stay separate because they couldn't bear seeing somebody else
root for the opposite team. So it's tricky to find
a spot for the kids to feel safe, and when
it looks like they have to choose between their parents.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's very well put. It was hard for me to
describe what I thought the lesson was, and that's yeah,
you nailed it, and I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Want to put too much onto it. Some of that
kid is pretty heavy, but I think that it was
a really cool way to deal with those types of
issues in a format like this. And for parents, when
you're talking to your young kids, being able to relate
to them at a level like this, there's a real
(19:45):
fine line to walk and it can be tricky, and
I think the show handled it with a lot of grace,
and I think the characters did as well. But boy,
it sure did make me happy to see them all
together absolutely at the end, and it was nice to
see the good natured ribbing that Mackenzie's family was giving
(20:08):
the Healers pulling up outside of their house, yelling and carrying.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
On poor Mackenzie. McKenzie was like, what is going on here?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And so yeah, it's easy for kids to kind of
get left in the middle like that too, but it
was all in good fun this episode. Does anyone have
any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yes, Henry, I think that this episode is a good one.
I like the episode and that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I liked seeing the two families hanging out together and
having fun.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, it looked like they were having a blast. And
I was just saying in our previous episode that I
miss Pat being around all.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
The time, right, and there he is, there he is.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He is the best.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I thought it was nice to see Chucky on the
show since we usually don't see him.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, it is cool to see the other characters in
blue and hopefully as more episodes of Bluey come out
will see more of those characters. One thing I wanted
to add is our friends at the Bluey's Brisbane Podcast.
Great podcast by the way, since Bluey takes place in
Brisbane and they're in Brisbane, they talk about the realities
(21:26):
of the city in the show and things you can
go do when you visit there to see the places
they talk about in blue They did a really cool
episode where they talked to Dan Brumm, who is the
sound designer for the show, and they actually had famous
sportscasters doing the announcer voices in this.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, So people who are watching this episode who live there, huh.
It feels so real to him because they're watching Queensland
and New South Wales play and they're hearing an announcer's
voice who's the legitouncer from those games when they've watched
them on TV. It would be like us hearing somebody
like John Madden or Harry Carey or something like that
(22:08):
in a show like this, somebody who we've heard do
famous sports commentary.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's pretty Yeah, that is cool. I like that. Neat.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome and until next time,
we are out of here.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Bye guys, Bye bye.
And this episode is cool?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Decide him?
Speaker 3 (00:27):

message from Rory and.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Phoenix Hi, Dinner with the Healers. My name is Rory
and this is my sister Phoenix. Hi, and my favorite
moment is when Henry says that what they were doing
at the beginning was dancing on a blue screen, and
Phoenix's favorite moment is Okay, she doesn't remember, so I
(05:03):
guess in our next voice she can tell you bye.
I don't know what she said, but I think it
meant bye, okay bye for real.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Thank you so much for sending us a voice message.
It was great to hear from you guys. Henry, do
you remember saying that part?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, I remember when I said it Dad. He would
always use it as a joke, so I thought it
would be funny if I said on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it was pretty good. I do, guys, behind the scenes,
when we're sitting here, I always say so. In this episode,
they're all dancing, and then I hear a lot of this,
which is that's probably fair. We got an email from Aubrey, Alana, Jonah,
and Zoe. We want to wish a big, happy belated
(05:53):
birthday to Evelyn. Happy birthday, Evelyn. We hope it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Happy birthday, Evelyn.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Happy birthday, Happy Birthday.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
We got an email from AUBREYO congratulating us on one

Oh my gosh, thank you guys so so much for

The fans.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, you guys are awesome. And we love, love love
hearing from you all, so thank you so much for
all the messages. You guys are just fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well, guys, we just got done watching The Decider.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Welcome back to The Decider.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It is win at Tit to nine, Stella. Could you
tell us what is going on? At the beginning of
this episode.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Bandit, Bluie and Bingo are getting ready to watch a
sports game and Pat, Lucky and Chucky come over to
watch it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
With them exactly and do you remember what is this
particular match called, Stella?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
The Decider?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Very good? Now, where is Chili? Chili is at the
game right because Frisky got tickets, Henry. What sport are
they playing?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
They're playing rugby.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And the Decider. Some of my friends from Australia had
to tell me how this worked because I didn't know.
I don't know very much about rugby, but the Decider.
This is called the State of Origin match and it
is like All Star Baseball where it's players from different
teams come together to represent their state. And you have
(07:43):
the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. Where
do the healers live? What state are they in? Do
you guys know Queensland. Very good because they live in Brisbane, right,
which is in Queensland? Yes, awesome? Now what color is
Queensland Maroon? Oh yeah, comrade again maroon?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Henry Bingo says that she gets to stay up late
to watch. Why is she gonna stay up so late?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Bingo's gonna stay up so late because Chili's gonna try
to wave at her well if the camera is on.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Her, right, if she shows up on camera during the game,
She's gonna wave at Bingo, and Bingo's positive that Chili's
gonna be able to do that, but Bandit says, I'm
sure she'll try her best. Amanda, where is Pat's wife Janelle?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Janelle is at home because she is rooting for the
opposite team of the Maroons. She is rooting for the
Blue because they are from where she grew up.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That's right, she's rooting for the Blues, so she's from
New South Wales. Blue asked Chucky, which is Lucky's little brother,
what team he's on? Stella? What did Chucky tell Bluie?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
He said that he couldn't really decide what team he
wanted since his dad was on one team and his
mom was on the other but he also said that
his parents said he could pick whichever team he wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
All the kids are excited for one of the teams
to score because of what.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Amanda, because that's when the grown ups dance.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, and Queensland makes it into the end zone, or
at least that's what we call it in football. Maybe
it's called something else. But what happens, Amanda.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
They thought that the Maroon team scored, but the ref
said that it was no good.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yep, no try. And Janelle has some words to say
about that.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
There you go, no try, no try.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Watch you all the chicks, Henry.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
As the game goes on, who gets.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
In the lead the Blues?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah? And who is happy about that?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Janelle?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And since Janelle's happy, Chucky is happy. He likes seeing
his mom happy. What do Chucky and Bluie decide to do? Henry?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They decide to go over to Janelle so then they
could watch the game with her.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Right, do you remember why they wanted.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
To because there's more dancing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Right, The Blues are scoring more often and Janelle is
dancing to celebrate. Janelle's not one hundred percent sure what
to do with blue being there?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Can we watch the game with you?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It's more dancing well, Fluey, I wouldn't normally be happy
with the marine supporter, but I'll allow it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Stella. What happens next?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
The Blue team starts yelling across the yard at the
Maroon team.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Why Bluey, what do you think you're doing?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah? They are being salty with each other. Queensland scores
and it's halftime. We see Bingo. She hasn't gotten waived
at by mom yet and what's going on with her? Stella?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
She's trying to fall asleep.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, she's so sleepy, she's covered up on the floor.
Chucky is really struggling on what team he wants to
root for. Amanda, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
He said that when the blue team scores, it makes
mom happy, but when the Maroon team scores, it makes
dad the happy. And when one parent is happy, the
other one is sad.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, that is a tough spot to be in. And
he doesn't know what he's gonna do. Chucky is trying
to decide and his mom asks him who is he
gonna watch with Henry? Do you remember what Janelle called
Chucky chuckles? Yeah? Well, Lucky says that Chucky has to
choose a.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Chuckle, Who's he gonna keep watching a bit with me
and a bit with your dad?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, he has to choose one side. Why because you
can't keep changing.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
He can if he wants to, Lucky, But that's not fair.
You do whatever you want, sweetheart, Stella. What does Janelle
say when Chucky decides to go with the Maroons?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
She tells him good luck, but not too much, but
you can tell that she's clearly upset.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, she is sad, Amanda. How does the game go?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well? Unfortunately for Janelle, the Blue team lost in the
Maroon team won, and we see after the game is over,
Janelle turns off the TV and turns off the lights
and is heading out of the room.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, Chucky sees his mom being sad and it really
makes him feel bad. And while Queensland is celebrating and
living it up. What happens on the tv? Amanda?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We see the camera at the game feature Trixie frisky,
and there's Mom and Bingo wakes up just in time
to see Mom wave and she gives her a little
wave back before closing her eyes again and going back
to sleep.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh it wasn't that cute.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
She was so tired, Henry.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
What happens after that?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's a whole different day and there's a new match
between two different teams.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And Chucky is super excited. And why is that?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Because there's a gold team and all of them are
on it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yet both of his parents and Blooie and Bengo and
the whole Healer family.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
What are those ding dongs doing out there?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Guys? If you hear what sounds like a herd of
ponies running around, our dogs are upstairs going bonkers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It sounds like.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'm so happy for Chucky, But I'm also super happy
for Janelle at this point, because I bet that was
really tough for her to be by herself over there.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm sure it was to.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Not only see her team lose, but to be alone
like that. Everybody's excited that they're all on the Gold
team except you and Mit McKenzie.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You got that, Gunny.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We gotta.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Mackenzie's family. They're rooting for the Kiwi's and boy, oh boy,
these people are salty, salty sports fans. Stella, do you
get like that about sports? No, your main sport is chess, right, Yeah,
Whenever you're at a chess match. Do you always hope
that you'll look over and see mom over there on
the side of the room when you're doing a match
and she's going, yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Stella, No, because number one, that'd be really distracting, and
number two, you guys will probably get asked to leave.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
That would be pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Though you have to be quite chess. The chess players
know the chess players must concentrate, of course.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I think that would be impossible. And that was the episode, Henry,
Did we miss anything?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Actually we did forget something. We forgot to mention how
happy they were when the pizza arrived at the Healer's
house during halftime.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh yeah, they were really stoked on that, weren't they.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
You know what, I think we should get some pizza now.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Maybe we should. Well, you know what it's time for.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Did we learn anything today, Amanda?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Could you tell us what were we supposed to learn today?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I think what we were supposed to learn is that
it's important for us to be supportive of each other
and our families. Even though Pat and Janelle were rooting
for different teams, they for the most part were being
pretty kind with each other about whose team was better
and everything. But we see at the end of the episode,
they're all rooting for the same team, and it seems
(16:59):
to make every happier. So I think we need to
be respectful of each other's feelings and come together and
support each other.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
What about you, Stella, do you have anything?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I actually don't. Henry same here, I don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
This is a tricky one and I think there are
a lot of layers to this that we could look at.
There's a lot of comparisons you could make to things
that families might go through, not just sports where mom
and dad are on opposite sides of an issue, for example,
in the case of divorce or something like that, where
(17:44):
the kids are in the middle. And Pat and Janelle
did a good job of not forcing their kids to
take one side or the other. And that was tough though,
because like an other circumstances, both boys see their parents
feeling sad when the other one is happy and vice versa.
(18:09):
So them trying to find their way through that was
really tough. And that can be the same with lots
of things, whether it's religion or politics or anything else.
Those kinds of things can be very dividing amongst families
or groups of friends. And that sort of thing, and
when it stops being good natured and can move toward
(18:34):
being mean, that's when things can really get out of hand,
and in this particular instance, they did a good job
of navigating that. And the tough thing though for Janelle
is that the teams are at such odds with each
other that they couldn't even watch the game in the
same house. They're watching the same game, but they had
(18:55):
to stay separate because they couldn't bear seeing somebody else
root for the opposite team. So it's tricky to find
a spot for the kids to feel safe, and when
it looks like they have to choose between their parents.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
That's very well put. It was hard for me to
describe what I thought the lesson was, and that's yeah,
you nailed it, and I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Want to put too much onto it. Some of that
kid is pretty heavy, but I think that it was
a really cool way to deal with those types of
issues in a format like this. And for parents, when
you're talking to your young kids, being able to relate
to them at a level like this, there's a real
(19:45):
fine line to walk and it can be tricky, and
I think the show handled it with a lot of grace,
and I think the characters did as well. But boy,
it sure did make me happy to see them all
together absolutely at the end, and it was nice to
see the good natured ribbing that Mackenzie's family was giving
(20:08):
the Healers pulling up outside of their house, yelling and carrying.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
On poor Mackenzie. McKenzie was like, what is going on here?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And so yeah, it's easy for kids to kind of
get left in the middle like that too, but it
was all in good fun this episode. Does anyone have
any parting thoughts about the episode?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yes, Henry, I think that this episode is a good one.
I like the episode and that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I liked seeing the two families hanging out together and
having fun.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, it looked like they were having a blast. And
I was just saying in our previous episode that I
miss Pat being around all.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
The time, right, and there he is, there he is.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He is the best.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I thought it was nice to see Chucky on the
show since we usually don't see him.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, it is cool to see the other characters in
blue and hopefully as more episodes of Bluey come out
will see more of those characters. One thing I wanted
to add is our friends at the Bluey's Brisbane Podcast.
Great podcast by the way, since Bluey takes place in
Brisbane and they're in Brisbane, they talk about the realities
(21:26):
of the city in the show and things you can
go do when you visit there to see the places
they talk about in blue They did a really cool
episode where they talked to Dan Brumm, who is the
sound designer for the show, and they actually had famous
sportscasters doing the announcer voices in this.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, So people who are watching this episode who live there, huh.
It feels so real to him because they're watching Queensland
and New South Wales play and they're hearing an announcer's
voice who's the legitouncer from those games when they've watched
them on TV. It would be like us hearing somebody
like John Madden or Harry Carey or something like that
(22:08):
in a show like this, somebody who we've heard do
famous sports commentary.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's pretty Yeah, that is cool. I like that. Neat.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, guys, we think Bluie is awesome and until next time,
we are out of here.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Bye guys, Bye bye.
