00:00Actually, I should just enjoy the beach a bit before I start reading."
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo and today we'll be looking at some of the most plausible bluey fan theories
00:09out there.
00:10Are you okay?
00:11Yeah, I will be.
00:16Number 10.
00:17Bingo's biological mother.
00:19The Heelers are your classic nuclear anthropomorphic dog family, right?
00:23So then your hips go around like this.
00:25Yeah, that's great.
00:26Me and my sister Brandy made this dance up for our mom's birthday when we were kids.
00:33Well, not according to how some have interpreted the Season 3 episode onesies.
00:37One piece of evidence supporting the idea that Chilly may not be Bingo's biological
00:41mom is Chilly acknowledging that Bingo looks just like Brandy.
00:45See who I look like?
00:48You look just like you.
00:51Of course, it wouldn't be strange for a niece to look like her mom's sister, but this theory
00:55provides a simpler explanation for the resemblance.
00:57It's been speculated Brandy is actually Bingo's real mom, but had to give her up for unknown
01:02reasons.
01:03I'm sorry it's been so long.
01:04Oh.
01:05It's just hard seeing you all, you know?
01:08Number 9.
01:09Bandit and Chilly, international smugglers?
01:12Bandit's name may be literal if this theory about him and Chilly being criminal masterminds
01:16is true.
01:17The two work as an archaeologist and an airport security guard, respectively.
01:21Those are comfortably middle-class jobs.
01:23And now please welcome Dr. Bandit Heeler, fresh from the field to discuss his latest
01:28archaeological discovery.
01:30Enough to afford a nice Queensland house and rather lavish lifestyle for themselves and
01:34two children?
01:35We have our doubts.
01:36This theory posits that Bandit finds rare artifacts during digs, and Chilly helps smuggle
01:41them through customs, allowing them to then sell the items on the black market.
01:45It wouldn't be the first time the show left breadcrumbs for older audiences to piece
01:54together, though it does sort of tamp down the family-friendly wholesomeness.
02:08Number 8.
02:09A reality show
02:17Maybe it should be called Keeping Up With The Heelers.
02:19Bandit, Bluey, Chilly, and Bingo often break the fourth wall, sometimes staring right at
02:23us when something ridiculous happens.
02:25This has led to speculation that they're the subjects of a reality TV show.
02:34Furthering the theory, the family seems to be famous even in their own universe, as evidenced
02:38by that one time they walk by a bookstore and we can clearly see Bluey's face on one
02:42of the books.
02:43They're definitely as quotable as the Kardashians, we'll give them that.
02:53Number 7.
02:54Adult Bluey is retelling her childhood
02:56Okay, so there's admittedly not as much hard evidence for this one, as it's more based
03:00around how nearly perfect the Heelers are as a family unit.
03:04Like many real families, Bluey rarely shows any true strife between Bluey, Bingo, Bandit,
03:09and Chilly.
03:19The kids are lovable rapscallions, and the parents have their quirks, but are always
03:23ready to participate in play or help out with a life lesson.
03:27Sure they squabble sometimes, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a hug, an apology,
03:31or some goofy shenanigans.
03:37It's led some to believe that the show is actually Adult Bluey telling us about her
03:41childhood through rose-tinted glasses, sanding off her parents' rough edges.
03:45Of course, they could actually just have a healthy family dynamic, but that's not quite
03:49as conspiracy-worthy, is it?
04:016.
04:02Chilly and Stripe
04:03It's great to be close with your spouse's family, but Chilly and Stripe may be taking
04:07that a little too far according to this fan theory.
04:14When Bandit's brother, Stripe, brings Muffin over for a play date, he and Chilly share
04:18a kiss.
04:19At first glance, it looks like a familial peck on the cheek, but if you watch carefully,
04:23yeah, it's kinda difficult to tell where it lands.
04:26Of course, this opened a whole can of worms postulating infidelity.
04:30Some fans have even read into their reactions when their kitchen chat is interrupted a little
04:34later in the episode.
04:385.
04:39Bingo Has Celiac Disease
04:41Through observations pieced together from multiple episodes, some fans have concluded
04:45that Bingo has celiac disease.
04:56Celiac is an autoimmune disorder characterized by bad reactions to eating gluten, which is
05:01found in wheat, barley, and rye products.
05:04Multiple scenes show the parents buying or preparing gluten-free food, like when Bandit
05:08prepares gluten-free and gluten-not-free lunches for the girls.
05:18Many also point to the episode where Bingo was in the hospital, the reason for which
05:21was never specified.
05:23Let's just hope that gluten-free foods aren't as expensive in the show as they are in real
05:27life.
05:284.
05:29Bandit's Father
05:30The death of aging parents is a reality Bluey hasn't shied away from.
05:34After all, Chilly's mother is confirmed to have passed away.
05:44For some time, however, Bandit's father's status was more ambiguous.
05:48After appearing in person once in Season 1, Bob wasn't seen or heard from again outside
05:53of flashbacks, despite his wife Chris playing a role in several further episodes.
05:57This fueled rumors that the old pup had sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
06:01Luckily, Bob finally resurfaced in The Sign, with the explanation that he'd been on a trip
06:05to India.
06:12While the moment plays out sweetly in front of the kids, it didn't stop older audiences
06:17from speculating that Bob potentially suffers from a neurodegenerative condition like Alzheimer's
06:22or dementia.
06:233.
06:24Judo's Mom Wendy is a Single Parent
06:31This one's pretty straightforward.
06:32Wendy, the healer's next-door neighbor and mom of Bluey and Bingo's friend Judo, is never
06:37seen in the company of any co-parent, nor is one ever mentioned.
06:46Was there a separation, a death, or could Judo possibly be the product of adoption or
06:56in vitro fertilization?
06:58Odds are we'll never find out.
07:00What's most important, however, is that she's a strict but loving parent to her daughter.
07:13It takes a lot of strength to raise a kid in general, but even more so as a single parent,
07:18and Wendy's character certainly exhibits that quality.
07:242.
07:28Chilly's Mental Health Struggles Chilly is shown to be a loving wife and a
07:32dedicated mom.
07:33She's a little on the stricter side compared to Bandit, but she still likes to have fun
07:37and act silly.
07:46Any parent knows that that's not always how you feel on the inside, though, and there's
07:50evidence to suggest that Chilly may struggle with her mental health.
07:54When Bluey asks about the book she's reading, she reveals it's about How to Be Happy.
08:01A number of things could be affecting her, such as postpartum depression, or perhaps
08:05a loss of her sense of self after she becomes a mom.
08:08Whatever the case, it's relatable for a lot of parents out there, and relieving to know
08:12that even someone like Chilly doesn't have it all figured out.
08:22Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
08:25Is Rad's dad Bob?
08:27Bob and Chris Heeler are both blue, but Rad's half red.
08:30Does he have a different father?
08:44Wendy and Bandit used to date.
08:45Wendy acts snippy toward Bandit, but then warms up too much.
08:49Are old feelings resurfacing?
09:04Coco's mom and dad are pageant parents.
09:07Like many real-life show poodles, Coco's parents are dyed pink.
09:15Bandit and Chilly are non-monogamous.
09:17Besides all the pineapple imagery, they seem pretty friendly with some of the other characters.

09:431.
09:44Chilly had a miscarriage
09:46Bluey's always been relatable to adults as well as kids, and nowhere is that more apparent
09:51than how it handles infertility.
09:53Of course, we all know about Brandy's experience with the hardship, but there's some indication
09:57that Chilly and Bandit's journey to becoming parents wasn't so smooth, either.
10:01Why can't she just have the thing she wants?
10:05Because it's not meant to be.
10:07In the episode The Show, Bluey and Bingo reenact their parents' relationship, with Bingo putting
10:11a balloon under her shirt to simulate Chilly being pregnant with Bluey.
10:15As balloons do, it pops, and we catch both parents' faces fall, with Bandit immediately
10:25putting his hand on Chilly's.
10:30As many have pointed out, this reaction seems both a little too genuine and a little too
10:35sad to be a result of a balloon popping.
