What's up guys? Welcome to Dinner with the Healers. My name is Eric and with me as always are my lovely wife Amanda. Hi guys. My beautiful daughter Stella. Hi. And my super handsome son Henry. Hello. If this is your first time listening to us, we are an episode by episode Blui podcast. Where we watch an episode of Blui and then talk about it and the lessons we learned. Does that sound right to you guys? It sure does. In this episode we are rewatching season one, episode 14, Takeaway. And talking about how we feel about it now three years later after we watched it the first time. And it is going to be super fun. Yes it will. Before we do that, let's jump into the business.

Speaking of things that are awesome, we just got done rewatching Takeaway. Can we have some of your Takeaway too? Yeah. You girls don't like spicy. Henry, could you tell us what was going on at the beginning of this episode? At the beginning of the episode, they pull up to a restaurant and they go there to get their takeaway, which is their food. Bandit goes inside so they can get their order. And Blui and Bingo both are trying to sit on a chair, but Blui and Bingo are kind of trying to push each other off so they can sit on it. Yeah, exactly. They pull up to a restaurant. Does anybody remember what the name of it is? It was called Golden Crown. Yeah, Golden Crown. Very good. When they're walking up there, all of these things are happening at once. And Amanda and I were talking about this, how as a parent you can totally relate to it. Because all these things are coming from all over. Blui asks if she can take a shower under the tap, the water faucet outside. And what did Bandit tell her? He said, no wet dogs in the car. Exactly, which I get it. Bingo is asking a question. Stella, do you remember what Bingo asked? She asked, where do rocks come from? Yeah, so in the middle of all that, these big existential questions that Bingo is asking, Blui is trying to take a shower and then they're also saying they want some of the takeaway. And Amanda Bandit tells them that they're not going to want his food. Why is that? Because it's too spicy and he knows that the girls do not like spicy food. Henry, something happens when Bandit goes in the first time. And we talk about this a lot on the show and we're just joking around. But are they dogs or are they people? What happened while Bandit was inside that makes you wonder which one's right? The newspaper blows away off the table and Bingo runs to grab it and she picks up with her mouth and she takes it back to the table. Yeah, she barked too. Her little yip bark that she does. And when Bandit came out, he realizes that something terrible has happened. And Henry, what is that? There are no sprinkles. Yeah, they forgot them. So he tells Bingo and Blui to stay. And he says it just like you would tell your dog to stay. Of course, Stella, did mom and I ever tell you and Henry to stay just the way we talk to Charlie and Annie, our doggies? I'm not sure. It's going to be five more minutes because they've got to have those spring rolls. Bandit needs to do something. Stella, what is it? He needs to call Chili and tell her that the spring rolls aren't done. And what is she telling him to do? She tells him to just forget about the spring rolls. He says that's not happening and she tells him good luck. Leave without the spring rolls? Is she crazy? Amanda, would you wait for the spring rolls or would you just head home? Um, no, I would definitely wait for the spring rolls. I wouldn't head home without them. Well, especially if you paid for them already. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, I would want to wait for them too. Bingo is curious about something. Did you remember what she asked Bandit next? Well, I know she asked him how long it was going to take to get the spring rolls. And he said five minutes and both the girls asked, well, how long is five minutes? And he said it's like watching an episode of Chutney Chimp. Right. They compare time to how long it takes to watch an episode of one of their favorite shows. We used to do that, didn't we? Yes, we did. What are some of the shows that we've used to mark time by? When Stella was younger, she really liked My Little Ponies. And so when we were waiting for something, we would say, well, it'll take about as long as a My Little Pony episode. Yeah. My Little Pony friendship is magic is specifically the series we're talking about. It is still awesome. It is. Yes. We also use Kung Fu Panda. Yes. And we also use Ninjago. Yes. So yeah. For our Lego friend over there. We've definitely been there. Yeah. Bluey is wanting something now. Amanda, what is it? She asked Bandit if she could get, I think a juice. And he said he wasn't going to buy any drinks and she could go over to the tap and get a drink of water from the tap. While she's doing that, Henry, Bingo is asking Bandit if she can do something and what is it? Bingo asked Bandit if she can eat the plants. And he obviously said no. And then Bingo asked, why is it that some plants are food and some plants aren't? Did he give an answer to that? No. Yeah. Do you have an answer to that? No. I think my only answer would be, well, because. Because some of them are and some of them aren't. Right. Yeah. Bluey is wanting to play with something. And what is she asking her dad about? She wants to play with the menus. Yeah, but he tells her to only take a couple because the restaurant needs them, right? Yeah. Bluey's got her menus, but then in a classic twist, which happens with all kids everywhere, Bingo, who said she didn't want to drink earlier, now asks a question. Stella, what is it? She asks if she can have a drink on the top. Amanda, have we ever been there? No, absolutely not. Not every night at dinner time? Literally every day? Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Banda is just trying to get through all this and he says fine and he takes Bingo over to get a drink, but then Stella, what happens? Bluey's menus blow out of her hand and they go straight into the water. And she's not going to play with those, right? Yeah, she's not going to play with those. So Banda tells her that she can go and get two more, but she needs to hold on to them. Yeah, Banda picks the wet ones up and puts them on the table and Bingo says she is starving by this time. Stella, what does Bluey start doing? She starts playing restaurant with Bingo. And she makes Banda get up and get out of the way. And he does. Which I've been there to listen, fine. Cool, I'll come over here and sit on the wall if it'll keep you two entertained and I don't have to constantly keep you from bickering. Amanda, Bluey gives Bingo both menus. Why was that? She gave her both menus in case she was super hungry. Yeah, you know, you can't just order off the one menu. You got to do both, one for each eye, I guess. Sure. Yeah, what was Bingo's name in this? Bingo always had the classic names whenever they played in the earliest episodes. Her name was Tap Girl. Yeah, very good. I wonder where she got that. I know. Bingo says she wants her food super spicy. I kind of thought this might have been a mistake from the word go. Amanda, what does Bluey do? Bluey gives her the food out of Dad's takeout bag and Bingo opens up the lid. But Bluey tells her, I don't really know if you should actually try to eat it. You know, remember Dad said it's spicy. And then Bingo goes ahead and takes a handful of it and eats it and she immediately regrets her decision. Yeah, it's so spicy she can't stand it. But then something terrible happens. What is it? She drops the food container on the ground. All over the place. Poor Bandit by this time. He's still waiting on the spring rolls. He comes out and his food's all over the ground. And Bingo is flipping out. Henry, what does she need? She says that she needs a drink and then Bandit gets up and then he takes her to the water tap immediately and turns it on. So then she can get a drink. Yeah, she's guzzling like there's no tomorrow. And anybody who's ever had a kid ever knows exactly what's going to happen next. How's that kiddo? Good. But I need to do a week. I'm busty. Oh man, okay. I know I keep saying that if you've had kids this will all feel familiar. This part where it all starts happening all at once reminds me so much of when I would take these two by myself someplace while you were at work, for example. Bingo's got to do her business. There's not a restroom for miles. She can't wait. So Henry, what were they going to have to do? They had to do a bush we a bush we. Yeah. So now they're taking care of that. But during all this, it all sort of happens at one time. Stella Bluey runs up and she's doing something. Bluey runs up with chopsticks in her mouth and says that she's a walrus, which I thought was pretty cute. This podcast is sponsored by Talkspace.

Are you really buying a car online on AutoTrader right now? Really? At a playground? Yeah, really. Look at these listings from dealers. Wow, your search can really get that specific. Really? And you just put in your info and boom, car's in your budget. Mom needs a second, honey. You can really have it delivered? Really. Or I can pick it up at the dealership. One sec, sweetie. Mom is buying a car. Mommy, look! I think your kid is walking up the slide. Kyle, again, really? AutoTrader, buy your car online. Really? Still, while Bingo is taking care of her business, she's still asking Bandit loads of questions. What's her big question now? She asks if everything is made out of atoms. I don't think Bandit was expecting that question at all in the middle of this. They can't hear you shake your head. Yeah, mom. Yeah, he definitely didn't know how to answer that. Yeah, I mean, because everything's happening all at once. He knows that everything's made out of atoms, but while that's going on, Stella, what is happening with Bluey now? She can't get the water from the tap to shut off, and she's worrying about what will happen if she can't get it shut off. I can't turn it off! Bluey! I'm going to tell him I'm going to turn it on a little bit. Don't even think about getting under that! There's water everywhere! Bingo, are you almost finished? Not yet. It's a long one. What will happen if we can never turn it off? The water will be up to the clouds! Ha! Stella, were you ever worried something like that might happen if you couldn't get the hose to turn off or something when you were little? I don't think so, no. Bingo is taken forever with this one, and while that's happening, they get some visitors on the sidewalk. Amanda, who shows up? Are they crows? Yeah, so there are some crows that decided to help themselves to the food that Bingo spilled on the ground earlier. Van it seemed frustrated by that, but I wonder if he was planning on eating it after it had been on the ground anyway. Right. But yeah, he shoes those crows out of there. They finally get done, and he turns off the water and sits down, and he is just beat. Amanda, what question does Bingo ask next? Bingo was asking, let me see if I get this right. If adults grow up from being babies, and adults are the only ones that have babies, where did the first baby come from? Well, why is she? Listen, she's got a lot of deep thinking going. She's got a lot on her mind that kid. Yeah, she does. That was kind of the final straw for Bandit, I think. Yeah. Henry, what did he say next? He said, let's just leave, and he grabs the food, and he slips, and then it falls all over him, and he's just laying down the ground, defeated. Yeah, he is done. Oh my gosh, I've been there. I mean, I haven't been laying on the sidewalk covered in takeaway, but I've been in positions where I'm like, I think I'm just done here. Yeah. I think this might be it. Well, he's laying there, not moving at all. The lady who runs the shop comes out, and Henry, what does she have? She has fortune cookies, and she also says that the spring rolls are going to take five more minutes. I don't think that's something any of them wanted to hear. Yeah, and now that all the food's there on the ground, the lady's take on it was like, oh, what's going on out here? Yeah. Well, they've got the fortune cookies, and Stella, what was it that Bluey said they were? Bluey said that they were little biscuits with pieces of paper inside them, and that the pieces of paper had words on them. Yeah, for us in the United States, we call them cookies, and in other places, they call them biscuits instead of cookies. Bandit takes a look at the fortune. It says, flowers may bloom again, but a person never has a chance to be young again. Amanda, what does he do with that? He thinks about the words for a moment, and then he decides to tell the girls, do you know what it's time for? It's shower time. And Bluey said, for real life? And he said, for real life? And so they run over to the tap, and he turns the tap on for them. When the lady came out, I thought she might be upset that they're running her water out on the ground. But Henry, what did she say? She said that it looks fun. Yeah, there's something about seeing kids having a ripper of a time like that that makes your heart feel good. And that was the episode. Henry, did we miss anything? Nope, I don't think so. Well, you know what it's time for. Did we learn anything today? Could anyone tell us, what did you learn today? Sometimes things just don't go as planned. And when that happens, you just got to kind of roll with the punches, much like Bandit did. What about you kids? Do you guys have any ideas? Honestly, I don't really know what the lesson was. Here's what I learned. If I have no spring rolls in my bag and I have to wait five minutes, I'll just go home. Okay, I guess that's one takeaway from it. Nothing. See what I did there? That was pretty good. I did see. Yes. I would add this. Amanda, I think you're on the right track there. My thing is, is that life happens at sometimes just rocket speed. Everything is happening all at once. Bandit wants the spring rolls. Chili wants him home. Bingo's got to take a wee. Bluey wants to play with this and that. Bingo's asking the mysteries of the universe. And it's all happening at one time. And it probably felt like he was in one of those things, you know, those little toys you push and the balls pop up and down inside the plastic dome, like the popcorn thing. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Yeah, yeah. He probably felt like that. Like all these ideas and events are happening all around him so fast. And he's having trouble focusing on the thing that matters. When everything becomes overwhelming, it's easy to miss out on life. At this point, he just wants to get home. He doesn't care if the kids are having fun or not. He just wants them to sit there and do nothing while he gets the food so he can get home and eat and keep the day moving forward. But once he's forced to slow down, when everything has fallen apart and he has to slow down and take a breath and just take whatever comes next at face value, he realizes, man, you don't get to be young forever. These kids aren't going to be young forever. And we need to take the opportunity while we have it and play, just play. What's it going to hurt at this point? I mean, plus let's face it, he's covered in food. What can the little water do? But that's my take on it. Yeah, I like that. Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode? This episode is still just as hilarious as it was when we watched it three years ago. I think the random questions that Bingo was asking, I think those are funny. I thought this whole episode was funny with just everything going on and all the questions that Bingo was asking, like Henry said. You're really good with little kids. Do little kids ask you tons of questions like that? No. Would you be able to explain the mysteries of the universe? No. I bet you could. I love this episode. I like seeing Bandit in this situation just because it reminds me of what we went through, the three of us, meaning Stella and Henry and me when they were little, and it was just me fighting for my life when mom wasn't there. And I think he did a very commendable job. And I think he enjoys spending time with the girls like that, even though sometimes they probably try his patience. But I really saw myself in that. And I like to have goofy fun. I probably would have been the one making the walrus face with the chopsticks embarrassing the kids. That feels like something that you would do, but you're not that embarrassing. That's not what Stella says. Stella, do your mom and I embarrass you ever? Yeah, definitely. One example. Whenever mom dances in the store to the music, like it's just, just stop. Like, just stop. I have one word to say about that. What's that? Never. Yeah. Well, there's a whole episode about that that we'll get to. I think it's cool that your mom is such a free spirit. But anyway, we think Bluey is awesome. And speaking of things that we think are awesome, Henry, what should we do next? The howl out. Okay, listen up. Everyone has to clap and go, woo, yeah. All right. That's awesome. Got it? All right.
