VINTAGE GOTTA BE DONE: (Gotta Be Done x The Hammerbarn Project vs Bluey the Album!)

Zut alors! We has emerged! Gotta Be Done does Pavlova and wonders if the French language even exists beyond the bits you learn from kids cartoons. But what would the Blueyverse's French folks (frog dogs?) make of Bandit's impression? (Or of Flight of the Conchords or Greg Champion, for that matter?) Better than Pepé Le Pew, surely! Also, no shortage of Brene moments when you're playing the long game, but Kate got her feeding kids advice from Kemi and played the loooong long game - to win! And, more pavlova information then you can shake a sauce bottle at. Tres malade!   ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/ Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

So Gotta Be Done has finally left the couch (HA!) and is back to the recapping, but moving slowly and avoiding loud noises, a bit like Whale Watching! It's the Bluey episode that proves Bandit and Chilli occasionally get on the sauce, but Mary and Kate want to know who's paying harder for their hedonism? Also, nautical-themed games that let you stay still, a sailor's hornpipe that doesn't, corn chip warnings and sometimes food... but how often IS sometimes?    Anyway, it's all very educational - a bit like a whale documentary! It's gotta be done (finally!) ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/ Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

So we did a Grandpa Bob and disappeared for a bit, but Gotta Be Done is BACK BABY - and for the best possible reason! Joe Brumm joins Kate and Mary on the mic, with a ton of Bluey S3 secrets to share.  So, which TV heroes was Joe most excited to meet at the Logies? Who was the voice of Major Tom before Lin Manuel Miranda neighed his way in? What period piece inspired the music for Seesaw (we struggle for the name but it's The Favourite!) How hard did the team have to fight for fourth-wall-smashing Puppets? And (we can't be the only ones asking) what was the deal with Space??  So there might be one or two burning questions left unanswered, but plenty of hints about what's ahead and CHEESE AND CRACKERS WE ARE EXCITED - ENJOY! (And thanks so much Joe - for the chat and for beautiful Bluey!)  SPOILER ALERT: Literally! This interview contains so many spoilers from the current season three batch. If you haven't seen 'em yet, we hope you accept our sorry.    ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Adelaide/ Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

A slight technical glitch to start this Mini Bluey recap - but are lost library books and non-compliant noisy children just technical glitches too? Gotta Be Done wonders what constitutes weird in on-toast combos (Bingo toast, anyone?), and whether anyone can know themselves and all their annoying ways as honestly as Bluey does. (Reckon Ted Lasso would give it a go - here's his Patience rendition!) Plus, committing to the character and owning your child's inherited traits - it's painful, we'll tell you that for free! (Finally, Mary tries to channel her inner Bandit Heeler and lay some dino knowledge on everyone. But plot twist/ we know that now - brontosaurus is a dinosaur again, phew!)  ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

Are kids bad losers, or do they just have keenly developed senses of injustice? In Obstacle Course, Bluey is a bit of each - and at Kate and Mary's places, it's definitely one or the other! Meanwhile, what movies do you see in the montage? Kate's done the research, while Mary has to admit Gallipoli and Kokoda are not the same.  And why do our Gotta Be Done girls, like Bandit/ every parent, always lose at memory snap? Either social media, Wizz Fizz or bio-char is to blame!   ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

Gotta Be Done wasn't born yesterday, but who else thinks a fresh start on life on earth might not go astray right now? Of course, Mary and Kate and everyone else would still need the wisdom of Bluey and Bingo to guide us through - and even if we can't start fresh, there's plenty of goodness to work with in this leafy gem.  Plus, stealth plans to grow indoor gardens, a Bible verse, and will a Twitter verse or two make up for the Bluey Christmas episode that's been robbed from us all? ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

From Chilli's first line for the ages (oh man, Gotta Be Done is just not a fan of housework either babe!), Housework is a joy that does not usually come with housework!  There's the playful Fab Four, the interminable demands of Lego Batman, and detailed instructions for making a toy car wash - oh, and plenty of Bluey wisdom for life. Plus, the perils of looking too closely at the contents of your vacuum.

Ring ring, ring ring? Hello, this is Kate and Mary showing their age by actually picking up the phone - but will the next generation even know what that is? Phones and Grandad Mort's visit have Gotta Be Done wondering about the right hand signal for a smartphone, what's next for Emma Wiggle, and is tech the source of all the world's problems. So yeah, just all the big questions! Also, what are curried sausages and is there any chance children would eat them?
