Work (aka Casualisation of Work and the Futility of the Capitalist System)
Friday Aug 30, 2019
Friday Aug 30, 2019
Gotta Be Done gets socio-political - but Bluey went there first! Or is that just Mary reading too much into this drama of drudgery, drainpipes and dance?
We talk side hustles and monetising your passion (and/or your podcast), and teaching your children well and feeding them on your dreams (the one they pick's the one you'll know by, etc.)
Plus, who's the prima ballet fan in the Heeler household? And did the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games actually happen? And what's the Mexican Hat Dance got to do with anything? You'll be dancing to keep up!

Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive on every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

Yoga Ball (aka Too Many Opportunities to Take on Nazis)
Friday Aug 23, 2019
Friday Aug 23, 2019
As we bounce around Yoga Ball, we really hope our bosses aren't tuning in - this is not a good sell for working from home!
But even with distractions we get there eventually - via the many alternate identities of Bingo, the confusing Heeler house layout, and whether it was dino bones or Nazis battles that made 80s archaeology more appealing.
Like a resilient second-born child, it's the episode that keeps on going - hope you can too!

Markets (aka Toffee Apples Disappointing Post-Peter Combe Generations)
Friday Aug 16, 2019
Friday Aug 16, 2019
We're off to the Markets, and what must be some of the most quotable moments to come from the Blueyverse... do we hear "FIVE BUCKS?!"
This Gotta Be Done ep has everything, from the role Myf Warhurst was made to play, to toffee apple skepticism, the existence of unicorn ponyrides and who needs them, wild German sausage theories, and the greatest Christmas movie ever made.
A bit like a good market, if you look hard enough you'll find something you really wanted - or at least come away with a sparklingly cleansed aura!

Hide and Seek (aka Where Do We Get a Dog-Gnome-Buddha?)
Friday Aug 09, 2019
Friday Aug 09, 2019
We've given up on our own destroyed attention spans, but what are the chances of imparting mindfulness on our munchkins? And do we need a dog-gnome-buddha to make it happen?
As we tackle Hide and Seek, we explore napping in yoga classes and games of dead fish, to 1990s toy craze Furbies and how the hell you shut them up. Also, why do any toys have accessories - and will Kate's toy-tub life hack fix the problem?
And of course, the one piece of advice we can all take to the bank - when you're hiding, don't forget your phone!

Asparagus (aka Victim Blaming and Our Convict Past)
Friday Aug 02, 2019
Friday Aug 02, 2019
At long last, an episode of children's television for all the parents who want dinner to be a more drawn-out and hysterical affair. Oddly, that's not Mary and Kate - and when it comes to Asparagus, we're not eating it.
Of course, we are quick to note some great moments, and pay serious homage to the creativity of the animators in turning phone-shaped Blue Heelers into a cast of other zoological wonders.
But still, these curmudgeons are (apologetically) not apologising - we are not into Asparagus and its chaos-inducing horrors. What is this, a show for kids?!
