Which theory did you like best?? Need a vpn? I got ya here -> nordvpn.com/margie Also don’t forget to check out my childrens book at geni.us/MySantaYourSanta ❤️

My personal theory is that Bandit was a famous rock star in the past and so he has some money from that on top of now being a professor of archaeology at a university. But you have to admit it’s funny to think of these loveable dogs as criminal masterminds.

As someone with archaeology friends, the amount of time that Bandit stays home does make sense. Sometimes there's no site to go to for a month or 2 and this can lead into doing mostly computer work for a few weeks at a time.

Aside from the assumed income that they earn, there is little to no evidence that suggests they are thieves. The jobs in this universe could be higher paying than we might think.

I think it’s most likely that Bandit is an archeologist who works at a university but I love the idea that Stripe won the lottery and bought his brother and mothers homes for them I think that’s a really sweet idea

As fun as the theory that Chili and Bandit are secretly criminals is, I personally prefer to believe that that was the heeler childhood home. I choose to believe that Nana and Bob Heeler eventually chose to move to a smaller apartment with less work to be done on it, and when it came to the house and deciding what to do with it, it made the most sense to leave it to Bandit. Stripe seems to have more of a taste for luxury and maybe had a more high paying job that, along with Trixie’s income, allowed him to afford something nicer than the rundown home. Rad clearly has no need for such a nice place since he wouldn’t be around to get much use out of it. Bandit, on the other hand, clearly has a love for old things (he is an archeologist after all), and had a family on the way already to really appreciate the home.

The only thing bandit did that would be considered criminal was “fluffy” around his family. As for Chili… she basically “ stole” Bandit’s heart when they were kids XD

Criminals or not they’re both still really amazing parents to their kids

For a kids show mainly aimed for 5-7 year olds, I highly doubt there would be much conspiracy unlike shows like Gravity Falls and so on. Though it is funny thinking how Bandit the "Bandit" and "Chillidog" are smuggling ancient artifacts to be sold in Bali.

1:32 I love how the Australian currency in Bluey has basically dogified versions of the people on these real notes

I feel like the Bandit being a university professor is the best theory, it really fits with how knowledgeable he is when it slips through the episodes. But I like the idea of Stripes winning the lotto and helping out his family! He'd be a good boy like that!

Not really buying into this theory, although it does make me curious if the topic of having incarcerated family members will ever come up. Showing children with incarcerated or ex-con parents would fit in with the wide range of subjects Bluey has broached, especially in Season 3B.

My personal theory is that bandit was an archeologist since the 90s and married chilli in the 2010s. After the marriage he bought a house with nearly all his money. But he still has to work because to pay the taxes and bills

I would also take into consideration that if Chilli is the child of two army vets she may be getting benefits from the army now that her mom is gone. Also not to mention any inheritances from Bob/Chilli's mom could affect the budget greatly as well depending on what role her mom played in the army.

Bandit being Indiana Jones would make sense, especially with Yoga Ball having that Raiders reference, him basically having all those artifacts and going back and forth to London for stuff

I like the idea that they bought the house from nana. I find the idea of Bandit growing up in the house he raises his daughters in really nice. Congratulations on your subscriber milestone! I was talking to a child at work last week, when they mentioned Bluey. I used the knowledge I've gained from your channel to earn some brownie points with him and it did impress so thank you. 🥰

It's also possible he had money from another job. He's in his early 40s so its possible they purchased a home before and rolled the equity from that into this house. Though I do think the thievery side of this is a lot more fun and imaginative.

This is a very fun theory, but also one I'd prefer stays as an irony statement... XD I really like the second main theory, it was Nana's house once and she led it to Bandit, he's got a higher income by having a PhD and working for a university that perhaps is run by the state's government and that mini Indiana Jones theory could also add up to it, seems very realistic and the most rational answer

Also this is a GIVEAWAY video, to enter you must be subscribed and leave a comment! There will be two winners for the new Bluey Dance and Sing Plush, and I’ll do a livestream for it on Monday 25th July at 9:00am Pacific Time

I think that the fact of bandit being a teacher also helped him with his patience and how to treat smaller people hability.

I personally like the theory that Nana gave the house to Bandit, it kinda just makes sense!

7:57 in case you're wondering what that skull is it's actually the skull of a species of pig that's found in Indonesia called the Babirusa which yes have tusks that Sprout from it's top jaw and the bridge of the snout

No matter what, Bandit and Chili are great parents.

I really agree with those last 2 minor theories, the “criminal” theory I think is mostly just for fun and to spice things up a bit yk

I think the second theory makes the most sense, but I love the Indiana Jones theory! I love how people get so into these deep dive theories.

I personally agree with the fact that is suspicious that bandit has so many valuables laying around the house but if this actually what’s going on I will never look at Stripe the same way

I personally love the Bandits childhood home theory because my family currently resides in my husband's childhood home. Which we acquired when his parents retired to the West Coast of Florida Plus if I remeber correctly there are 3 regular rooms ( girls bedroom, Nursery, office) for Rad, Bandit and Stripe

i think considering how tired, overworked they are i think the just work very long hours 24/7 most of the time and have to order babysitters for Bluey and Bingo, underrated theory.

These theories are really interesting, great job! For me, I think they might not be criminals, but I really like the idea that Bandit would be Indiana Jones. 🐶

I hope that the show could show us Uncle Radley's house or his life so that it could possibly help the theory in some way. Wether it supports that theory or even make new discoveries that can create more theory!

I don’t really think Bandit and Chili are criminals, but maybe a relative might be? It could explain as to why Grandpa Bob only shows up once, maybe he was arrested for theft? He could have passed down his profit to his sons, and Stripe could have taken over as the boss of the operation.

Hi Margie, just wanted to let you know we bought your book “My Santa, Your Santa”. We stashed away till Christmas and will read it then. Thanks for writing it! 😊

I'm pretty shure blues mom chilli is selling her kids imaginations and experiences as kids books based off a few bluie kids books from the backround

This felt like an iceberg to me. 😂 Awesome breakdown!

Great to see someone talking about this amazing Aussie show!

Can we appreciate how much time and effort Aussie Girl Margie puts in to make videos for us? With kids as well!! Keep it up! Your amazing!

There's something so funny to me about Bandit having had Indiana Jones-esque adventures before settling down. Especially since it checks out.

I love how you found the perfect expression of Bandit and Chili for the thumbnail

I really like the idea of Bandit being the Bluey equivalent of Indiana Jones! 🤣

While I don’t agree with this theory, I’d be the first in line to see a Bandit and Chilli heist movie.

Now no wonder Bandit is named Bandit

I know I'm six months late but it's worth considering: Bluey takes place almost entirely from Bluey's perspective, that of an extremely young child. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Heeler family lives in a much more modest lifestyle than what we see, we're just interpreting it from the eyes of someone who sees the world as a grandiose and massive place.

I recon that nana and bob are probably quite wealthy, and saved up money for their kids as they were growing up and we can work out from certain sources that the heelers had bluey when bandit was about 38 and chilli would have been a similar age so they would have had about 20 years of adulthood to save up money for parenthood.

Honestly I don't believe the criminal theory because bandit says he used to love coming to the creek as a kid, and because maybe stripe did win the lottery since he has more modern-type house stuff

I love seeing your bluey videos you where one of the first bluey youtubers I watch when I first started watching bluey!!! I love seeing your content!

1:32 I love how they made the queen a Welsh corgi

Mahalo Margie for making these vids! We (my hubby and I) enjoy them because it validates a lot of “theories” we have!! Blessings, The Carter’s from Maui, Hawai’i 🌸

The thumbnail wanted me to watch this! Lol

What you said about Stripe actually does make a bit of sense seeing as we never saw what his job is in the show or how he's able to afford to life he has and as we've seen a fair amount in the show Stripe is a bit boastful when it comes to his lavish lifestyle compared to his two older brothers

While the Criminals Theory is fun, I REALLY like the idea of Bandit being the Bluey Indiana Jones much more. Imagine the flashbacks.

My favorite theory is it being his childhood home he either was given when his parents retired or he bought off them

I think the professer is the real one but maybe it was the professer and that the home was passed down to bandit it could always be both

I agree with the theory! -Me at a random Walmart

i’d personally like to believe the blueyverse (unlike OUR universe!) pays an equitable, living wage and no one has to struggle to make ends meet. though i did hear there was a homeless man in the episode “quiet game”, so maybe not…

I love the idea that their house was Bandit's growing up!

I don’t really think that they would make a criminal story into a child’s show, because some kids are super sensitive.

This is so far my favorite Bluey theory video and the thumbnail is hilarious too. Love your videos.

Really enjoy all of your Bluey theory videos. This one is definitely one of my favorites

I recently found your channel and have been watching all of your season 3 breakdowns 😁 I love all of your Bluey content!

I think that him working for the university and getting the higher pay makes the most sense, but that would definitely add some drama to the Bluey-verse. 😂 P.S. Love you Margie!!!!!❤❤❤

I love the thumbnail! That’s so cool!

Our favourite theory is that Bandit is the Indiana Jones of the Bluey world.

I like the idea of Stripe winning the lotto!

I theory I thought of is, they are also famous in their own verse by looking in the background and seeing merch of them in shops. They could be getting that income from being recognized, which I also think could lead to the theory about Bandit being a rock star, he could still be popular, and he could still be receiving the income from it, even though he has retired from it.

I was thinking that they were not But then I remembered couple things

I hope I win the giveaway because I have a sister that is 3 years old and she love bluey

love your videos. They made me more of a bluey fan and pushed me to get a playset for my 5 year old niece.

Bluey is my favorite show. I feel like maybe stripe did win the lottery and shared it across the family. Because if they where criminals the police would try finding them. But I wish Ludo did show some more Easter eggs and stuff.

Love your videos! I'm in the middle of making bluey costumes for Halloween for our whole family!

Luvvvv your bluey vids I have been binge watching for over an hour

I love the theory! Also I’m not sure if you took in account that the hammer barn episode came out in 2020, maybe pizza ovens were a bit cheaper in 2020 (considering that was around the time the pandemic was in full swing)

I don’t really like this theory because I really like Chilli and Bandit and I don’t want them to be bad guys, but the only thing that is funny about this theory to me is that Bandit’s name is Bandit 😂

Chili could also be in management for the TSA, which pays way more dollar bucks. I say it's way more likely simply because she's always the one one they call for issues and call outs, and she, like most managers if no one can cover, has to go in (like she did when she had to send Bandit to buy a birthday gift).

9:11 now I'm imagining when Bandit was younger he went on a expedition to a temple and using a whip as well as wearing a fedora

personally, i think that the creators of bluey didnt really think much about house payments and the cost of living, but i could be completley wrong. if they have i think that with bandit working at a university, aswell as finding tons of bones and artifacts, he must have found something rare and sold it to the museums or was given money to do reasearch on it. with the initial payment of his own job, aswell as the university and giving stuff to the museum/selling stuff to reasearchers, he must make extra money. chilli being an airport security worker (i doubt this but it is a possibility) maybe she gets a slight discount for trips and plane rides. that could be how they were able to travel to bali if they didnt have a whole lot of extra money. also i really love the idea that bandit grew up in that house, but since nana and grandpa bob retired they decided that they didnt need such a big house for just the two of them, and most likely bandit payed a lot less knowing that the house is very old and not in the best shape, aswell as his parents probably didnt make him pay the full price, he most likley got it for cheaper. stripe and trixies jobs are still unknown (from what i know) so they could be super rich. (this is just what i think but im not really sure on how the whole money things work since im still pretty young and havent given my future tons of thought. i also am not sure if there is anything to backup/go against my ideas but its fine)

my theory is that Uncle Stripe won the lottery and got a modern house for him and a condo for grandma and bandit inherited the house from grandma also your videos make all the bluey episodes make much more since keep on doing what your doing ❤️

Ik I’ve said this before but it would be so funny since bandit is called “BANDIT”

Just another silly thought, (sorry for being late to the party) but there's also the possibility that Chili's mother had life insurance policies that were left to Chili and her sister. They may also be getting benefits from the armed forces. We also have no idea on how Chili's mother died. It could have even been a wrongful death which had a payout (Not as big as ones from the US but still, it could have been just enough.)

The economy in bluey is amazing

I love Bluey so much that I cannot wait until season three and two still haven’t seen those from season two

My kids love your content! We can’t wait for Bluey season 3 in the US!

Personally I like the idea that Stripe won the lotto because it explains why Muffin's a little spoilt too. When you end up with a sudden windfall you often don't properly know how best to plan for what you're going to spend it on; it makes sense that in wanting to give their kids the best life they end up impulse buying too much.

This was done with The Simpsons too - it's harder to get a handle on their housing cost because Springfield's intentionally ambiguous location but otherwise, give-or-take, they're in much the same scenario as the Heelers. They have two cars but they're older and more likely to be paid off than the Heelers' newish SUV, they have one more kid but Bart and Lisa go to public school, Marge doesn't have a job (usually) but I'd figure "tenured (and most likely published) college professor of archaeology" and "safety coordinator at a nuclear power plant with ~ 15 years experience" would be in roughly the same ballpark.

Aussie girl margie, this isnt really about the video but I just wanted to share with you something I noticed. As of season 3B, snickers and honey are now the only members of bluey class (I'm not counting pretzel since we haven't heard him speak since calypso) who haven't had any individual lines, do you think we might hear them in season 3c or maybe due to covid, their voice actors had to miss out this season?

Thanks for loving Bluey too!

Theory Since uncle rad works at a mining place maybe ancient artifacts are from uncle rad and uncle rad stole it and is paying bandit to keep it

Seeing Bandit as Indiana Jones would be kinda funny

YES!!! YOU ARE THE AWNSER OF MY PRAYERS YOU TELL ME ABOUT BLUEY AND I FIND IT VERY HELPFUL THANT U SOO MUCH KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍 😊

I love how your saying dollar bucks and not money!

I wasn't able to join the stream but i did hear you say something about this

Bluey is literally the best cartoon!

I love you theories so much they are so accurate i have never thought about any episodes like that!

I am sooooo excited to watch this! Your content is amazing!

My theory was always just that Bob or chili's mom left them all inheritance that allowed them to get started

3:10 they could also sell a lot those finds to museums

What if he writes articles for journals and papers as well? He has to write reports on findings for work as it is. He could easily write about his experiences and travels to bring in a bit of extra income. I for one have always thought Bandit's family was independently wealthy given Nana's apartment, Stripe's lifestyle, etc. and they were free to choose their passions. I live in an area that has several well off people who don't flaunt the fact and live comfortably below their budget(I used to work in a speciality shoe store people tell you way more than they should sometimes), Bandit vs. at the higher end, Stripe. I assumed like many here Nana and Grandpa Bob invested in their kids futures with investments, college funds, possible shares of x,y,z they held and then when the boys came of age handed them the reigns. I don't think Chilli's family was because of the difference we see with her dad (though he could just prefer living away from the city) and his lack knowledge of technology vs. Nana.(Again not automatically saying circumstances are different, but it would draw the contrast more between the two families)It would also go back to maybe Brandy couldn't afford fertility treatments and maybe approached Bandit and Chilli and they said no because they were just finishing their own journey with fertility and it left them not struggling but not in a position to help while also providing the life style they want to provide for the girls, also setting up things for their future like Bandit's parents did, so it caused a rift between the sisters. It wouldn't be the first time money contributed to a rift between siblings, especially if she was vulnerable and felt they were being selfish. There are a lot of emotions around fertility and a heat of the moment argument well...it has been 4 years.

I highly doubt they do illegal stuff. But it's funny to think they do

Love your vids, always brighten my day! Nice to have silly discussions about a cartoon dog show XD

I mean... their jobs probably pay more in-show than in real life because the jobs they do are... real life dog related? Airport security (sniffer dogs for finding contraband) and archaeology (digging up bones, like it's actually pointed out). So I think the rate of pay would go up because the jobs have more value? I can't articulate it well. Bandit being a uni professor also makes sense. One who is still active in the world of archaeology but teaches when there aren't digs to go to. I think that's an adorable and fitting position for Bandit. Stripe I have to be honest *I assumed he owned a company of his own* and it was just successful? Not like a smuggling ring but like, a small but deeply successful and deeply boring but useful company or something. One that wouldn't really come up in a kids show (so he's not like, a tech company that makes toys, but maybe one that makes parts or something). I also just had the impression the families both came from money in the way most parents in kids media seem to lmao and the house was a wedding gift from Nana. It'd make sense since her oldest son wasn't settling down, but her middle son did, so he got the house. With Stripe and his company (again my theory) and Rad being single and working far away, it'd make sense. Like it does seem to me that Stripe makes the most of the three brothers monetarily, although I can't think of what his job would be. Owning a company was just the first thing I thought of.

I really love how their jobs can also be connected to them being dogs
