What an episode. Copycat is one of those stealth Bluey episodes that starts one way and ends up someplace unexpected but ultimately wonderful. Not unlike our discussions this week!! We start by talking about which side of the bed Bandit and Chilli sleep on and end up discussing how a horse got punched in the face during the Summer Olympics. (For real life) We also ponder what types of pets they have in the Bluey-Verse and what 🦎 iguanas eat? ------ Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @ForRealLife.pod where you can leave comments about the episode or feel free to send us an email us at ForRealLife.pod@gmail.com If you liked this episode please be sure to rate us, leave a review and of course SUBSCRIBE so you know as soon as new episodes drop.

Kid only episode!! (Well mostly) so get ready because without adult supervision things may get crazy….just kidding. The only crazy thing about this episode is how often Bluey and Chloe change characters and how Cherin and Tori manage to follow along with all the back and forth. Tori also has a great insight about the episode and how it compares and contrasts to the episode SHOPS. Lastly we talk the dynamic of multiple kid friends playing together. Plus did you catch that aspect ratio change? If not then Tori, with her cinematic eye will point it out. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on Facebook or Instagram @ForRealLife.pod where you can leave comments about the episode or feel free to send us an email us at ForRealLife.pod@gmail.com If you liked this episode please be sure to rate us, leave a review and of course SUBSCRIBE so you know as soon as new episodes drop.

We don’t have to go far to find stuff to talk about this with episode, just to the neighbors yard. Which neighbor? who knows but clearly they are tight with the Heeler’s. In a surprise twist, we also have a discussion about the animals in the episode because we are at the “ZOO” and we’ve never heard of a pademelon before!! Shocker, we know. Tori then sings us a song from her childhood, also about an animal. (Have you noticed a theme yet to this week’s discussions) just remember to check out the gift shop before you leave.

To say people LOVE this episode is an understatement. So it won't come as any surprise that we do as well. Its super quotable, funny, cleaver and heart warming. Everything we love about Bluey. Honestly we’re not sure who was laughing more in this episode; Tori and Cherin or Janet and Rita as they tried to steal the beans. Amid the laughter we talk a bit about the origins of the floss dance before we ponder what sorts of things our grands kids may ask us to do someday. Hopefully it the won’t be technology related…. But it probably will be. Dang VR. -------------- We love our listeners and we love feedback.

What a pickle!! It’s all fun and games until someone swallows a hippopotamus 🦛 or gets attacked by a cactus 🌵 In this episode Bingo is the kindly doctor trying to fix everyone, while Bluey (aka Edna) welcomes patients and makes sure they everyone gets a lollipop. Cherin and Tori share some FOR REAL LIFE moments they have had at the doctors with their own kids + they discuss Covid vaccines because who doesn’t want to talk about all things Covid related 🤣 😂 Returning to the episode they laugh out loud at all the silly maladies that Bluey’s friends come up with. From scorpions and hippos to losing limbs these kids sure seem to be great at getting themselves into a real pickle. After Tori breaks down this weeks lesson (just be yourself)  Cherin & Tori put in a request to Mouse Toys for a Honey plush. Finally Cherin daydreams about winning the lotto and securing the license to create Bluey apparel in the US...because if you're going to dream, Dream Big.  --------------  We love feedback.

We like it spicy 🌶 and things heat up in this weeks review of Takeaway. As parents we’ve all been there. An innocent activity slowly devolves into pure chaos. Then just like in real life we have a good cry over our fortune cookie fortunes 🥠 We laugh over the “dog” references and talk bathroom laws here in the US and the appropriateness, or lack there of, peeing on random bushes. Plus stick around till the end when Tori surprises Cherin with something special 🎁  Thanks again for listening ————-  Be sure to check us out on social: on Instagram @ForRealLife.pod or FB.  Got some feedback, we would love to hear it.   Email us at forreallife.pod@gmail.com

Grab something to drink and get comfortable because we go ALL IN, with some serious discussions, on this weeks episode. How can you not when the topic is screen-time.   To give them tablets or not to give them tablets? Isn't that always a question? During this episode Tori & Cherin explore our own screen-time (tablet) philosophy and the guilt that comes along with how much time we and our children spend in front of screens. We also discuss the Heeler's car and how kids car seat requirements have changed since we were kids.  Who is Bob Bilby. He's a Bilby named Bob of course. Never heard of a Bilby, well don't worry because Cherin has all the facts and will discuss them, along with why Bilby's are slowly taking over for the Easter Bunny...at least in Australia. Plus Tori walks Cherin through the origins of Flat Stanley and we both LOL when Bandit's cool guy camera goes off at just the right moment.

This week Tori and Cherin check into Hotel Heeler where the staff is a bit dodgy but on the plus side the rooms do come with a lady in the shower and night bacon 🥓...so 5 stars ⭐️ from us. We also get some unexpected help from Siri as we discuss the many rooms of the Heeler house. Also, can it really be called a staycation if where you are staying is Walt Disney World? Living in Orlando right next to Mickey's place we talk the last time we got checked into an actual Hotel and start dreaming about going back. Sky Buckets anyone.  ------- Tori is a Bluey novice, while Cherin may re watch episodes even after her son goes to bed.

Whether it is FOR REAL LIFE or just a made up game of "Hospital" I think we can all agree that nurses are the best....or dare we say the unsung heroes of this episode.  In this episode we talk Season 1, Episode 2 of Bluey, where Dr. Bluey tries to figure out how to get a cat out of Dad's tummy. Now, while I have never had a cat in my tummy but I think all the parents out there can relate to being a parent/patient to their child's nurse or doctor.  Join us while we recap the episode, talk our favorite Laugh Out Loud moments, discuss our experiences with playing "hospitals" and much more. (OOPPSIE -- so in the episode we mentioned that Bingo is 3. I know that Bingo is 4, however my son is 3 and I totally slipped and said Bingo is 3.....sorry guys, my bad)  ---------------------------------------------------  We love our listeners.

We have a guest on the show, and it is

Dont worry there is an app for that. This week talk apps…I mean Phones. A story that is funny because it’s true. There really is an app for everything, like an app to control your ceiling fan or your robot vacuum. For Real Life. Cherin points out the Wiggle connection to Tori who missed the photo inside the place Grandads is staying. We also contemplate what happened to the crocodile 🐊 that got tossed over the fence into Lucky’s Dads yard. And if you’re a guessing person take a stab at home many apps Cherin and Tori each have on their phone. I bet you won’t get it right. So grab your phone and let’s dive in. ——— Thanks for listening, be sure to subscribe so you know when new episodes drop. We 💙🧡 hearing from listeners.
