Rug Island (aka Lucky's Dad the God We're All Looking For)
Friday Aug 28, 2020
Friday Aug 28, 2020
It may seem like the classic castaway-made-of-pens story, but Gotta Be Done is digging deeper on Rug Island, and Mary and Kate have an ocean of questions, including:
- What is pre-dawn?
- How do connector textas actually connect?
- WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO MAKE KIDS THINK THAT PADDLE BOARDS CAN GLIDE ALONG GRASS??
Plus Kate has a cracker theory about Rug Island's true meaning.
(Oh, and one for the Gotta Be Done folks listening before Saturday 12 September 2020 - move fast if you want to play Bluey trivia with us!)

Flat Pack (aka So Much to Unpack)
Thursday Aug 20, 2020
Thursday Aug 20, 2020
It's an episode 14 billion years in the making, but how far have we come really? Straight out of the box for this Flat Pack recap, Gotta Be Done eats the frog (dog) and addresses the dinosaurs in the room: there's still plenty more building to do.
So props Ludo Studio and ABC for making changes to Bluey that help make a better world for everyone.
Now that's dealt with - what IS the meaning of life? Kate and Mary muse Flat Pack's version, and find it pretty close to home.

Tickle Crabs (aka You Can Never Google Bluey Too Much)
Friday Aug 14, 2020
Friday Aug 14, 2020
If you can't score an uninterrupted half hour on the couch, is hiding in the cupboard the next best option?? These are the philosophical questions locked down Kate and Mary are tackling as Gotta Be Done does Tickle Crabs.
There's reassurances for parents suffering a Bluey-inspired tickle crab infestation - it could have been worse! (Pinchy pinchy!) Ultimate parenting #lifehack, having an imaginary glue stick on hand pays dividends. And has Bluey gone full please-face stylist??
Plus Telemachus leads us (via the pantry) on a wild Greek goddess seagull chase. Obviously.
Leucothea ya later!

BONUS EP (aka Cinematic Bluey)
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Strap yourselves in, kids - this is epic Gotta Be Done as we go full film special, thanks to some excellent guest expertise!
Podcast legend Blake Howard of One Heat Minute productions jumps in the wagon to share his grateful-dad love of Bluey, and cinema-conditioned eye for spotting silver screen homage.
Mary and Kate are reeling as Blake calls Joe Brumm's 2001: A Space Odyssey obsession (it goes beyond Sleepytime!), finds whole genres in Army and Work, and sees a post-apocalyptic classic bearing down in Escape.
Grab the jumbo popcorn and as many choctops as Nanna will hand over - this (almost-movie-length) episode is a joy! (Also, full of spoilers.)
