Stella, could you tell us what was going on at the beginning of this episode? All the kids were at the school and Calypso was telling them the story and she was using these like little characters and kind of acting out the story with backdrops and props and everything. And after she told her story, all the kids went to go and play at their own areas. Honey decided to go and build a village. Bluey decided to go and start a shop and all the other kids are doing their other things. Except for Pretzel. He didn't know what to do. He was tired and bored and didn't feel like doing much of anything. So he laid down on a rug right behind Calypso's desk. She was singing a really cool song. She has a very pretty voice. Yeah, she does. It's very nice to listen to soothing. We get to hear her voice a few other times in the course of Bluey episodes and it's pretty great. Honey wants a gnome for her village. Amanda, what's happening there? Honey goes to Calypso and asks for a gnome for her village. And Calypso says, well, let's go take a look at your village first. They go over to where Honey has been building and really there's not a whole lot going on just yet. She has a tree and one other thing there. Calypso explains to her that if she has a gnome, the gnome is going to need some place to sleep. So she should go ahead and build a place for the gnome to sleep first and she'll come back later and check on her progress. And then Calypso takes off to go check on the others. I was kind of curious as why Calypso was busting her chops. Like, no, you can't have this toy unless you build this better. But we see later kind of what her motivation was, but did it strike you as odd? Yeah, it did because it seemed like even though Honey didn't have that much out there just yet, you know, she was at least trying. Henry, Calypso goes to check on Bluey. What is she doing? Bluey is running her fish and chips shop, but it's just chips. They're all out fish. Yeah, I don't think that you could have a fish and chip shop with no fish, but it's a fish and chip shop nonetheless. Yeah, it is. I think somebody needs to get busy and be catching some fish. Let's not jump to the end just yet. Who is right next door to the shop, Henry? Chloe, Indy and Coco live next door and they're crammed in this tiny little house with their little babies. Yeah, they each have a baby and one of them, I can't remember who now, mentioned their baby's name and I thought it was really interesting. Did you pick up on it? I think it was Roderick. Yeah, I like that name. I thought it was really cool. But they are crowded in there, aren't they? Yeah, they are. Yeah, one of them needs to move on out is what they said. Well, conveniently enough, right next to there, Stella, Rusty is up to something and what is he doing? He is building a house with two stories in it and Calypso told him that that was interesting because Indy was actually looking for a place to live. Yeah, how advantageous. Stella, what was the next spot Calypso passed by? She passed by the Terriers who were on a fort that they were guarding. What did they say they were? Romans. Romans guarding their fort. Yeah, they look like they're taking it pretty seriously. I did like how Calypso when she approached them, she says, oh, you're building another fort. Listen, they know what they like. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. It was just kind of funny. Amanda, honey approaches Calypso again about a gnome. What happens? Honey asked Calypso if she could have the gnome now and Calypso says, well, let's go take a look at your village. Well, she's added on just a little bit, but still not very much. And Calypso explains to her that the gnome is going to need a forest for her morning walk. So she has honey start working on that. Bluey is busy tending her shop, even though she doesn't have any fish. And Andy is there and mentions that she's moving out, but doesn't know to where. Henry, she ends up talking to Rusty. What do they figure out? Rusty told Andy that she could rent the upstairs for $10 bucks. But Andy said that she didn't have any dollar bucks. So she went to go see if she could get a job at Bluey's fish and chip shop. Yeah. And Rusty agreed to watch Pauly while she was there. What did he ask Pauly about first thing? He asked Pauly if she wanted to learn how to build fences. Man, that would be a handy piece of knowledge to have, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would be. Stella, honey asks for a gnome again. What does Calypso ask her? Calypso tells her that she's doing really good on her village, but she also asks her what else would a gnome enjoy? I was starting to feel bad for honey a little bit thinking, man, just give her the gnome. What were you thinking? Yeah, I was thinking Calypso should have just gave her the gnome at first. It turns out there's a reason though, when it all comes around to the end, but I wasn't looking forward enough to be able to think that. Andy makes enough money to pay for her room's rent, and she also gets some chips to take home, which I thought was pretty nice. Rusty would like those after a tough day of building the fence and watching Pauly. The Terriers are having trouble though, Amanda. What is their deal? The Terriers are getting bored because they don't have anybody to protect right now, but Andy asked them if they would like some chips because they didn't have any fish, but she could bring them chips, and they asked if they could have enough chips for their whole army. That's a pretty tall order. I didn't even mean that as a joke, but a tall order. But yeah, for the whole army, she heads over to Bluies, and they are using something to be the bags of chips. Henry, what was it? They were using pillows. Yeah, a whole stack of them. In the meanwhile, Calypso is humming a song, and I thought this was really cool. I remember bringing this up the first time we talked about this episode a few years ago. The song Calypso is humming is what is called diagetic music, which means the people in the show hear the music. It's not the soundtrack. They hear it. The characters hear it. Right. Gotcha. But it is also the soundtrack. It smooths right into like the orchestral part that we hear so that even when Calypso's done humming, we're still hearing the same song. But now it's not diagetic. It's soundtrack. Yeah, pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She goes to check on Honey and Henry. What has happened? Honey had built an entire village. It looks super cool and awesome. Yeah, it was breathtaking. And I love the way the music queued against that and the way like the camera shots were where what it focused on and all the people, she really put a lot of effort and imagination into it, didn't she? Yeah, she did. You are awesome at building stuff like that. So Stella, too. She doesn't do it as much these days, but really good at putting together a scene like that. They're good at using their imaginations. Four Finger Discount is the number one podcast for true Simpsons fans.

Being protecting Roman is a little bit boring. Maybe we should be invading Romans. Maybe. I was a little bit concerned hearing them say that right after we just saw Honey's beautiful village. Stella, what happens? Before they get the chance to go and invade something, they get called over to protect Honey's village because Indy is trying to go and give them their chips, but she can't see where she's going because of all the bags of chips she's holding and she almost steps and falls onto Honey's village. Yeah, I thought for sure the whole thing was that they were going to invade Honey's village. Yeah, I thought that was what was going to happen. I was feeling so anxious watching that. Don't you dare! Yeah, but they got to be part of the solution. They got to guard something and protect the village and protect Indy from getting hurt by falling into it. So everybody got their part. What was the formation that they used, Stella, to protect it? They used a tortoise formation. Yeah, that's what they called it, where they were all tucked in behind their shields and they overlap like scales. Pretty clever. Yeah. That's a real tactic, by the way. They got their chips, but there still wasn't any fish, but they were okay with that. Calypso's gone to sit down and there's one more thing going on, Amanda. What is it? Earlier we saw Pretzel being bored and he really didn't want to play, but now he is actually using the stick that Calypso had earlier. He's using it now and he is going fishing. And so Calypso told him that she has somebody to introduce him to and that's the fish and ship stand. Yeah, she looks over and sees all the kids who had been doing their own thing, who are now all playing together. All of their different styles of play are integrated into one big unit where they're all still doing their own thing, but they're doing it as a community. And now she's getting Pretzel involved too without telling him, go over there and play with those kids. I thought it was really good and that's what she was trying to get Honey to do the whole time, was use her imagination and really think big and put effort into it because that's how their school works is they use that type of play to learn. Yeah, exactly. She's a very good teacher. Yeah. And that was the episode. Henry, did we forget 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? I think what I learned today is watching the style of teaching that Calypso was doing, where she was encouraging the kids to use their imaginations and as they did that, they ended up kind of all clicking together and playing together and it made it more fun for everybody. Yeah, she was teaching them a lesson but letting them figure it out on their own as well. Yeah. And also keeping them from being separate entities and everybody playing together for kind of a greater common cause, much like a community of people. Right, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds right to me. Yeah, I agree. This is one of those episodes where there doesn't seem to be like a very direct lesson, like be kind to others and stuff like that, but it was really cool to see. I like Calypso's demeanor. She seems so nice and calm and she's firm and guiding but in the kindest of ways. Yes, she is. I bet she is an excellent teacher and that any kid who had a teacher like her at that age was pretty fortunate. Yeah, I agree with that. She does seem very kind and gentle but she is teaching the kids. You know, she's not just letting them do whatever she's like you said, she's guiding them to make good choices. Well, and like the thing with Honey, let's use that as an example, I thought, geez, Calypso, can't you just let the poor kid have the gnome? She just wants a gnome to go in the village. Why are you being so gate-keeping about this? Just give her the gnome to play with. But it was because she was prompting her to think bigger, get outside of herself and think about the village from the gnome's perspective. Oh my gosh, that just hit me. She was wanting Honey to think about what the gnome would want and not what she wanted, which is kind of how they all ended up together. Well, what does this person need? I have this. Right. I just blew my own mind right there. What the heck, man? Nice. I guess I didn't think about it that way. Does anybody have any parting thoughts about the episode? I really like this episode. It's still one of my favorites, I think, three years later. I like seeing episodes with Calypso in it because, like we said, she is such a great teacher and just a great person, great character on the show. Yeah, she is pretty awesome. I like how we were able to see all the kids interact together in this episode because we don't see that a lot. Yeah, it is neat when we have a wide breadth of characters together. I thought the terrier's fort was pretty cool. Yeah, that was epic, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Do you think they had trouble deciding if it was going to be a pillow fort or a blanket fort? Maybe. I really enjoyed this. I love the thing that I was talking about with the background music and the foreground music blending together like that. I thought that was really, really neat. This is a super nerdy example for the parents, but there's a really cool thing in Back to the Future where once Marty's okay, they're playing the song Earth Angel and the orchestra comes in and the orchestra is not there in the scene. The music that the kids are hearing in the dance becomes the soundtrack music behind. So any parents who love Back to the Future, take a look at that the next time and you'll see what I mean. Expert, expert composition there. Well, guys, we think Bluey is awesome. And speaking of things that we think are awesome, Henry, what should we do next? The howl outs. Okay, listen up.

My name is Marina and I really like your podcast. My favorite is Stella and my favorite episode is probably The Cree. I think it was funny when everyone kept saying what goes around comes around and at the end when Henry burped. I also think it was funny when everyone starts antagonizing Eric. Goodbye. Thank you for your message, Marina. We're so glad you enjoyed the show and yeah, sometimes it's fun to antagonize Eric a little bit. I don't know that I agree with that, but okay. Thank you, Marina. Marina, I do like that part where during the lesson, that's what everybody kept saying. What did you learn today? What comes around goes around and everybody kept saying it to make me nuts and you succeeded. Then Henry closed it up with that epic burp. You guys have to go back and listen to it. Do you remember that? Yeah, I think so. Right after you said you got to leave that in and so I didn't edit it out. You are just a little guy then. Oh, those were the days.
