| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Larry Show on WMRC. Good morning again, everyone. The beloved children's show, |
| 0:16.7 | Bluey. Have you heard of it? The show follows the adventures of a blue healer puppy named Bluey who lives with her mom, dad, and sister. Well, Bluey. Have you heard of it? The show follows the adventures of a blue healer puppy named |
| 0:21.4 | Bluey who lives with her mom, dad, and sister. Well, Bluey recently had a special episode that |
| 0:26.8 | threw some fans for a loop, parents, and other fans of Bluey. If you know, you know, as the |
| 0:34.4 | saying goes. So now, if you have kids who are fans, there's probably no way you |
| 0:38.8 | haven't seen this episode yet. But heads up everyone else, if you haven't. Spoiler alerts are |
