The Buddy Review Podcast is a weekly show where Scott and Casille discuss their favorite TV shows, movies, and other pop culture topics. In this episode, they talk about the Australian children's animated TV show Bluey. They particularly focus on the episode "Keepy Uppy", where the two main characters, Bluey and Bingo, play Keepy Uppy with their parents. The hosts discuss “yes and” and why it’s important as well as keeping kids occupied while you must do other things around the house and how it's important to have a game where they can play, but at the same time, something where you are able to do what you need to do.

In this episode, Scott and Casille talk about the importance of fostering a sense of cooperation and to take the ideas of others, accept them in their entirety and add to them by utilizing a classic Improv rule “Yes and”. This not only applies to fun theatrical performances, but also to playing with kids and even engaging with one another on a deeper emotional level. Playing, relationships, and entertainment could get stale if the individuals involved are not actively participating in pushing along the story.

It can be difficult to entertain children when you need to get housework done, but simple games and the incorporation of improvisational rules can go a long way with helping keep them engaged and occupied.

In this episode, they talk about the Australian children's animated TV show Bluey.

The hosts discuss how the episode accurately portrays the experience of being a child in a hospital, and how it can be a scary and confusing experience for kids. They also talk about how the episode shows the importance of communication and explaining things to kids in a way that they can understand.

In this episode Scott and Casille talk about how it's important to explain things to kids in a way that they can understand. Kids don't have the same understanding of the world as adults, so it's important to break things down for them in a way that they can make sense of. This is especially important when it comes to scary or confusing experiences, like going to the hospital. By taking the time to explain things to kids, we can help them feel more comfortable and less scared.

Another topic on this episode is that it's important to be patient with kids. Kids are still learning and growing, so they're not going to understand everything right away. It's important to be patient with them and to give them the time they need to learn. This is especially important when it comes to communicating with kids. By being patient, we can help kids feel more comfortable and confident in communicating with us.

Our house… in the middle of the street. But is the castle worth the upkeep? Before you take the leap, there are a few basic questions you should ask yourself and guess who’s got two thumbs, a great podcast voice, and years of knowledge and experience to help you out? That’s right, this guy.

Join Scott in thinking about:

Gratitude. According to the theory of positive psychology, gratitude is the human way of acknowledging the good things of life. I challenge you to practice Martin Seligman’s famous “Three Good Things” exercise. For one week, each night, write down three things that you are grateful for. Include what you noticed, how it made you feel. Anything counts: The events you choose can be large or small.

Be kind, rewind! Nah, I'm just kidding! This episode isn't about feeling nostalgia, it's about feeling for others!

Maya Angelou once said that "I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel".

Hath not a robot hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? If you prick us, do we not bleed?”, or does the mere thought of giving your data to hyper-intelligent robots make the oil in your gears run cold? Tune in to this week's episode! You can trust me, I'm a talking robot on the internet!
