Stickbird (aka Don't Have Answers, Just Trauma) 1:00:01

Play Pause

10M ago1:00:01

1:00:01

From Moana moments on standup paddle boards, to the pipecleaners of the natural world, Lake Currimundi on Queensland's Sunshine Coast has something for everyone - even Stickbirds! Kate and Mary are back and asking the big questions: some universal (what's bugging Bandit?) and some extremely niche (when will Chilli reinvent herself as an Olympic coa…

Relax (aka Three Seasons and a Movie!) 1:00:24

1y ago1:00:24

1:00:24

It’s the biggest week of Bluey news since… big screens! But the path to Bluey the Movie has been paved with burnout and mental load – or is that just Kate and Mary trying to prepare for Christmas? First up, here’s Joe Brumm’s letter that accompanied the Bluey feature film announcement... no advice yet on how to wait until 2027! Then, is there a way…

Space (aka We've Needed Some!) 59:13

1y ago59:13

59:13

It's been a long time between galaxies for an honest-to-goodness Gotta Be Done recap - but Kate and Mary didn't disappear into a black hole (of parenting) for ever, just for about a year. Space is the mind-bending Bluey episode that brings them back, ready to fix things and figure everything out. But are they chief scientists enough? Plus, radical …

BONUS EP (Bluey's World x Bluey's Brisbane x producer Andrew Kay!) 25:21

1y ago25:21

25:21

When Kate and Mary from Gotta Be Done and Lou from Bluey's Brisbane sneak along to the opening day of Bluey's World, it's not going to be a subtle affair. And this epic crossover chat, just outside the new Sunshine State landmark/ destination/ (other) happiest place on earth, was next level excitable. It even prompted Bluey's World and Bluey's Big …

BONUS EP (Our Rug Island Era and JOFF BUSH!) 39:15

1y ago39:15

39:15

Skip out on work and bring your connector pens - it's RUG ISLAND DAY! The THIRD album from Bluey maestro Joff Bush and his glorious music team is out globally today (25 October 2024) wherever you get your music (and even on vinyl!) So of course Mary and Kate were going to drag out the wagon and skive off work Bandit-style, to ask Joff about how thi…

Gotta Be Done's Mary with Bluey's Brisbane at the Markets! 23:43

1+ y ago23:43

23:43

So it's been a while, but when one half of Gotta Be Done sneaks up into Blueyland/ Brisbane... podcast magic happens! Mary caught up with Justin and Lou from Bluey's Brisbane for this fun and frenetic crossover episode, on the for-real-life location of iconic Bluey ep Markets (the West End Markets, every Saturday at Davies Park!) Now in their fourt…

BONUS EP (Looking for signs with Joe Brumm) 59:24

1+ y ago59:24

59:24

Did you know it took nearly two years from Ludo Studio putting finishing touches on The Sign, to actually getting that biggest ever Bluey episode onto our screens?? So really, the fact that Kate and Mary interviewed Bluey creator Joe Brumm after the The Sign dropped on Sunday, and now you're getting the episode on Wednesday - pretty quick turnaroun…

Gotta Be Done's Mary does TONTS! 1:28:38

2y ago1:28:38

1:28:38

So Gotta Be Done has been missing in your podcast feed for a bit (and you better believe Mary and Kate are missing it too!) But of course they haven't stopped talking about Bluey in any/every other aspect of their lives, and for this special crossover, Mary talks about Bluey A LOT. Thank you TONTS host Claire Tonti for sharing the mic, over to her …

BONUS EP (Play, Development, and the Importance of Being Bingo) 44:59

2y ago44:59

44:59

It's not often an episode of Gotte Be Done has required reading... but when there's three developmental scientists putting Bluey under the microscope, then of course we're all diving in! Mary's joined in the wagon by Dr Molly Scott, Research Scientist in Playful Learning at Temple University, Aria Gastón-Panthaki, Research Coordinator for Children'…

BONUS EP (Gotta Be Done Back and Bluey Fest!) 40:49

2y ago40:49

40:49

Gotta Be Done's been on a break, but Mary and Kate just couldn't keep mum for BLUEY FEST! (For international types, that's the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's celebration of five years since Bluey launched... and the top 100 episodes as voted by Australia!) So, the girls have got the somewhat-broken-down wagon back together, for a lap through…

Pizza Girls (aka We’ve Covered a Lot of Pizza Feelings) 56:33

2+ y ago56:33

56:33

Recently listener Matthew in London emailed Gotta Be Done to ask when the Pizza Girls recap was coming. And Mary and Kate laughed because they'd totally recorded that back in February 2023... and then stopped laughing, because Mary had forgotten to release it. So, strap yourselves in kid, for all the late-summer reminiscing, fresh-new-year-misty-ey…

1
Cricket II (aka It’s Gonna Take More than a Tea Towel) 37:21

2+ y ago37:21

37:21

Yep, Gotta Be Done is still talking about Cricket... in this second-half recap, and in Mary and Kate's for real life generally! More music, more obscure cricketenalia, more Rusty love, and the tightrope walk of encouraging your kids without overwhelming them (that Rusty's Dad makes look easy!) Plus, a good guess at when Australia might see the last…

1
Cricket I (aka How Many Innings Will This Take and Also What’s an Innings?) 50:10

2+ y ago50:10

50:10

It's more than a year since Bluey creator Joe Brumm told Gotta Be Done a cricket episode was coming... which is even longer than the average game of cricket! Kate (vessel of cricketing knowledge) and Mary (cricketing knowledge vacuum) explore the whys and wherefores of the deeply weird (but supremely strategic) game of cricket. And how the never-en…

Smoochy Kiss (aka Maybe That’s the Fairytale and This Is the Reality) 55:59

2+ y ago55:59

55:59

So Gotta Be Done isn't here to call out annoying habits - but if Smoochy Kiss goes there, do Mary and Kate maybe kind of have to?! From what (on earth) Bandit's doing in his first scene, to best kitchen weaponry that's not too weapony (and how saucepan lids pre-date shields, actually?!), crimes against laundry sinks, boxes big enough for grown-ups,…

1
Dirt (aka Need a Redemption Arc in Our Lives) 58:32

2+ y ago58:32

58:32

Gotta Be Done is back after a break, and redeeming oneself is the theme of this recap - in all the ways. Morning, Wendy! Memories of mud piles and doubts about overly-clean modern life (is Insta to blame??), and is that dirt under fingernails, or potential neural connections? Oh, and what IS a chow chow? Well if a dog and a lion had a very adorable…

VINTAGE GOTTA BE DONE: The Show (aka Advice for the Ages) 45:45

2+ y ago45:45

45:45

CONTENT WARNING: In this episode, Mary and Kate talk pregnancy loss, infertility, and grief... and life in lockdown, because this is a 2020 throwback. It can get heavy. Bluey is known for tackling big issues - and in 2023 we know there's definitely a miscarriage storyline in The Show. (Back then and now, there's still plenty of hope, hilarity and h…

Onesies (aka Getting People Up to Speed on Kid Chaos) 58:08

2+ y ago58:08

58:08

Content warning: This episode of Gotta Be Done covers topics around fertility, pregnancy loss and grief. Onesies broke hearts and healed them again, and Mary and Kate wade into "the messy middle" to work out how. In summary: Families are hard, children who have complaints about the presents they receive are annoying but predictable, incredible Aust…

Granny Mobile (aka Muffin’s Shiny New Career as a Hostage Negotiator) 55:20

2+ y ago55:20

55:20

Gotta Be Done loves doing the slow crawl past a garage sale, and Granny Mobile brings more Bluey delights than a giant bargain table! Mary and Kate talk the endless possibilities for types of grannies (nobody puts granny in a corner!), the Muffin redemption arc (can toddlers really grow out of their tantrums?!), and weapon-of-mass-destruction quali…

1
Exercise (aka Personal Fulfilment at Work, Not Just a Unit of Production) 1:05:53

2+ y ago1:05:53

1:05:53

It's the episode that launched a thousand hot takes, and Gotta Be Done is finally here with a slightly reheated one! Kate and Mary recorded their Exercise recap before ABC and Ludo re-released an updated episode, then recorded more again after the fact - so get ready for many, many thoughts about the challenges of exercising, the niceness (or other…

1
Turtle Boy (aka Kids TV Dichotomy of Preachy or Mindless Violence) 58:00

2+ y ago58:00

58:00

Gotta Be Done has confessions to go with Turtle Boy - Mary and Kate have both let their kids take lost toys home. Can this episode undo the damage? Lucky the childhood magic of a park never changes (captured by Rafferty Amor)! Also, are all kids shows either preachy or mindless violence? (No, some have songs about physics and structural engineering…

BONUS EP (Rich J Labels on Everything!) 31:13

2+ y ago31:13

31:13

He's the all-knowing and all-seeing Series Director of Bluey, and Richard Jeffery has all the panicked 4am wake-ups to prove it! Rich/ Rich J from the Fairytale 80s montage/ Mackenzie's Dad/ RichWOW jumps in the Gotta Be Done wagon to share his Bluey origin story, what director life actually involves, and the true state of Aussie-Kiwi relations beh…

BONUS EP (Jazz and Joff in Dance Mode!) 1:16:07

2+ y ago1:16:07

1:16:07

"Finally I've got an outlet for what I'm really good at, that is: singing like a cat." There's no shortage of surprises on the new Bluey album Dance Mode out worldwide TODAY - and Joff Bush's feline finesse is high on the list! Bluey music legends Joff (famously the voice of Cat Squad) and Jazz D'Arcy (famously the singer/songwriter behind Rain/Bol…

Puppets (aka Do We Know the Meaning of Life Yet?) 56:30

2+ y ago56:30

56:30

How's it goin', salad dodgers?! Whether you've been dodging salad or not, you might want to know why that's a shout-out to the original Bluey pilot (now leaked!) - and Gotta Be Done wouldn't mind advice on ending the salad dodging by obstinate kiddos, also? Puppets has bigger issues than salad to dodge though - and of course Mary and Kate dive stra…

BONUS EP (Taking Bluey Global with BBC’s Kate O’Connor) 34:30

2+ y ago34:30

34:30

She's played keepy uppy on the stage of Madison Square Garden, floated down Sixth Avenue, and beamed into millions of homes around the globe on the daily - but strap yourselves in kids, Bluey's only getting bigger! And trying to wrangle the worldwide juggernaut and unstoppable tsunami of Bluey partnership requests is BBC Head of Brands and Licensin…

1
Fairytale (aka An Accurate Historical Document) 1:00:29

3y ago1:00:29

1:00:29

It's the Heeler history we all need to believe in, and Gotta Be Done is fact-checking and fetishising every glorious 80s moment! From montages to hazy memories, violent consequences of jinxes and whether child discipline should be depicted for historical purposes, Mary and Kate have a fairytale's worth of half-baked theories. Also, this Fairytale p…
