0:00

Tate!

0:05

Mary! You

0:08

binge watch your average Netflix show

0:10

and

0:10

you just want to talk to someone about it.

0:12

We need to talk to someone about Louis.

0:18

Today's episode of Gotta Be Done is recorded

0:21

on the lands of the Kaurna people of

0:23

the Adelaide Plains and the Wurundjeri

0:25

lands of the Kulin Nation in

0:28

Melbourne. We pay our respects

0:30

to Elders past and present and

0:32

any First Nations people who are

0:34

listening and loving of Louis.

0:40

Mary Bollie!

0:42

Hey McMunn!

0:44

Listeners

0:47

don't know this, but we know this deeply

0:49

in our hearts. It's been a while since this

0:51

has happened. It has been a little

0:53

while and I mean I have to say

0:55

it was a lovely little summer break

0:57

for us. Did you have a nice summer

1:00

there?

1:01

Yes. So actually well

1:03

people will probably know this if they follow us on

1:05

Insta that I took

1:08

a little jaunt around Mackenzie land

1:11

with my family on a big boat

1:15

and with my extended family and we took

1:17

little Mackenzie with us and like took some

1:19

of like the plushy of Mackenzie and

1:21

took photos around New Zealand

1:24

and that was a super fun way

1:26

to see New Zealand. So cruising,

1:28

are you cruising for ever

1:30

now? It

1:34

was cruising or it was cruising? It

1:38

was it was very cruising

1:40

in parts and very bruising

1:42

with the four-year-old that I brought with

1:44

me and only have myself to blame. So yeah.

1:48

I do

1:50

hear a rumor that Caspian your

1:53

four-year-old was a little bit let's

1:55

say bingo and feather wand. I just

1:58

did not want to cooperate.

2:00

That is flattering. I

2:03

would say muffin on a flamingo.

2:11

This cruise left from Sydney

2:13

Harbour and we had not even lost sight

2:15

of the Harbour Bridge when Cass was like, Mum,

2:18

I want to go home. I'm like, oh,

2:20

child, I have terrible news

2:22

for you. Yeah, because

2:25

the full context, your father-in-law, this was

2:27

his gift to you this year, wasn't it?

2:30

To get you all on this lovely cruise. To

2:33

the whole family. It was a big family

2:35

thing to celebrate and yes, it was very lovely.

2:38

So yeah, your break? It

2:41

was lovely. So we

2:43

live quite close to the beach here in Adelaide

2:46

and just most days down

2:49

under the jetty or in the sand, the

2:53

kids have been doing nippers this summer, which is

2:55

like a surf lifesaving program

2:58

where they do lots of activities. So

3:00

Will and Olivia are old enough

3:03

and lives 10

3:06

now and she's doing this program called Sea

3:08

Birds,

3:08

which is set up for children

3:11

with disability. And she

3:13

gets matched with like a carrot and she loves

3:15

it and she gets to be in the water and she's

3:18

been cruising around living her best life on

3:20

a paddleboard. Oh, and

3:22

Mary, I need to talk to you about this because I've

3:25

been doing my own personal bluey

3:27

thing this summer. I've

3:29

been learning how to ride a bike.

3:33

I know. Now you might think

3:35

what is a nearly 40 year old woman only

3:37

just learning to ride a bike now

3:40

all about. But yeah, I

3:42

rode a bike when I was a kid, but

3:45

I was never very confident on it. I was always

3:47

that kid that was all arms and legs and sort

3:49

of falling off and sliding around. We

3:52

used to ride in the paddock, the

3:54

long grass paddock right near our

3:56

house when we were kids. And,

3:59

you know, looking back now,

3:59

That was probably full of snakes. The

4:04

grass is quite a... I was like, this is where you didn't take to

4:06

it too much then. Yeah, maybe. Like,

4:09

I was an OK writer by the

4:11

time I was like probably 12. But then

4:14

I don't know,

4:14

like most teenagers, you just

4:17

don't do certain things for

4:19

a while. And then I did have

4:21

one time as a grown up, I think

4:23

I must have been 23.

4:24

And we were timid, organised

4:27

actually. It was in Slovenia this beautiful

4:29

day where we were going to cycle

4:31

up into the hills and he'd packed a picnic

4:34

and he'd organised the bikes. It was such a lovely

4:36

surprise until he realised

4:39

that I was not a confident bike writer.

4:42

And we'd been doing spin classes together,

4:44

so it was a very big surprise to him

4:45

that I did not actually know how to ride a bike.

4:48

But the bike is stationary in a spin class. Anyway,

4:51

so I've been learning with

4:53

a great company in Adelaide called Ride A

4:55

Bike Right. And

4:58

I've been doing adult bike classes and

5:01

I rode a bike. The

5:03

last lesson I had, I was... And

5:06

now I can even touch my nose to

5:08

scratch it when I'm riding. So for

5:11

someone that like three, well,

5:13

probably like a couple of months

5:14

ago would have been like, oh, no, I just

5:17

can't ride a bike. This

5:19

is your sign. If you're holding off to

5:21

learn to do something, for me,

5:24

it was a couple of expert sessions really

5:26

well spent and it's helped me overcome

5:28

a thing that I've wanted to

5:30

do for a really long time. But I haven't had

5:32

the courage to

5:34

find a way to do. So I'm,

5:36

yeah, I am, I am, I am looey, wobbling

5:39

around on my bike and trying my best at the moment.

5:45

You sure you don't want some help? No.

5:54

So close. Two

5:56

important questions of an amazing

5:59

paint. The first one is, was

6:01

Ode to Joy playing in your head as

6:04

you finally took off? Yeah, but I

6:06

think it was like, because today

6:08

we're going to be talking about pizza girls, and I think it

6:10

was the muffin punk

6:15

like sliding around the corner kind of

6:17

version. More than the

6:19

classical beatific

6:21

moment that's

6:23

in our favorite episode bike. Well,

6:27

okay, look, I'll accept that. And to

6:29

have you got your ticket to Slovenia booked,

6:32

to take on those mountains finally, because

6:34

that is obviously the next step. To

6:38

be confirmed, nothing's

6:41

planned. We have small children who get to go to Slovenia.

6:43

Do we have listeners in Slovenia who

6:45

can help us out here? If

6:47

you own a mountain in Slovenia, get

6:49

in touch. Oh my

6:51

goodness. Yeah, that's

6:53

just for people with time and money and I

6:55

have neither. Oh,

6:58

Lord. There's just a lot of stories in

7:00

that car. How can a car have

7:02

stories?

7:03

Well, next. Ah, there

7:06

you go. See? Good as new.

7:10

Is my car squashed? We

7:13

are talking pizza girls. And actually, I

7:15

was feeling as I watched

7:17

it back, it's such a good kind

7:19

of end of summer episode, because

7:22

actually, probably the only thing left on

7:24

my summer bucket list of things I

7:26

want to do is get

7:28

some people around and just smash some

7:30

prawns in the backyard.

7:33

This episode

7:35

just sets the scene so beautifully for just

7:38

a lazy kind of lovely

7:40

weekend

7:41

evening.

7:43

Well, that's the vibe I get from it anyway.

7:45

And international listeners, let me set the

7:47

scene for you. Mary's backyard overlooks

7:50

this beautiful verdant valley with

7:53

like, you know, you can see the little roofs of houses. Very

7:55

similar, in fact, to the view that the healers

7:57

must get of the houses.

7:59

on the hills around them. And

8:02

you have parrots fly into your backyard.

8:05

It's, you know, lush trees.

8:07

It's very verdant and I don't

8:10

know, like. Verdant is a good word,

8:12

but there's just one thing stopping me from making

8:15

this idyllic scene actually happen

8:17

is that we have fake grass.

8:20

So I can't put the fire

8:22

pit on the grass

8:24

for fear of just chemical

8:26

meltdown. So yeah, it's,

8:29

you've made it sound very lovely, but not entirely

8:32

perfect. Oh dear. Well,

8:34

you know, it makes it very difficult as

8:36

well to turn on the tap and make some

8:38

mud, I'm guessing, unless you're peeling

8:41

back the fake grass. I don't know. Yeah,

8:44

possibly. Oh well. Yeah, the boys actually,

8:47

if I suggested to the boys if your mud pit

8:49

under the fake grass, they'd probably be pulling

8:51

it back in five seconds. So look, the potential

8:53

is there.

8:54

Ready? Okay. Rang,

8:57

rang, rang, rang. Hello,

9:01

pizza shop. Would you like to order a pizza?

9:03

Look, so let's get into the

9:05

episode, Mayor. And childhood

9:08

memory for me was definitely like just

9:10

splashing around

9:11

in water under the tap and, you know,

9:13

making shapes and mud pies and

9:16

stuff. Like, did you

9:17

get to do that much when you were a kid? Oh

9:19

yeah, definitely. I

9:22

think, yeah, every house we lived in

9:24

had mud. So,

9:26

yeah, that was really potential.

9:30

But yeah, no, my childhood connection with this episode,

9:35

first up was absolutely the

9:37

wonderment of pizza

9:38

shop deals.

9:45

Golly bread's finished. Great. Don't

9:48

forget the free drink. Thanks

9:50

pizza sister. See you soon. Because

9:53

of course you want garlic bread and of course

9:56

you're getting a free drink. And yeah, the

9:58

fact that girls have latched on.

9:59

that. So, you know, I feel like the only

10:02

junk mail I still get in my letterbox,

10:04

even to this day, is like the

10:06

different deals you can get at the pizza shop with,

10:09

you know, two pizzas and

10:11

a garlic bread and a drink or whatever. And

10:13

yeah, I feel like the girls have been

10:16

studying up these, this vital

10:19

information for playing pizza girls

10:21

as well. You and I are both children

10:24

of the 80s in Australia. And let's

10:27

just say in the 80s, my memory

10:29

of takeaway

10:29

is fairly

10:32

limited. Like it was basically like we had a fish

10:34

and chip shop, we had pizza.

10:38

I don't really remember, there probably

10:40

was a Chinese restaurant

10:42

in town, but maybe that was considered

10:44

quite exotic. And I don't think we ever ate from

10:46

there. But like it was

10:48

basically pizza or fish and chips really were

10:50

your two options for me growing

10:53

up, you know, sort of on the outskirts of Melbourne.

10:56

And yeah, like

10:58

pizza hut in the 90s in particular

11:00

had this really like all

11:04

consuming advertisement where

11:06

it was set to William

11:09

Tells Overture. And it was 131166. And I think everybody knew that

11:11

ad, it was like 131166, 131166, 131166, pizza

11:17

hut delivery. Like, yeah, I still

11:18

know it off by heart because it was a

11:25

jingle in the 80s. And I watched the

11:27

ad how many millions of times.

11:30

And pizza hut is still a thing. Yeah,

11:35

there's some not too far from

11:37

me. And what else

11:39

would you say the big pizza chains? Like there's probably

11:41

more boutique pizzas I

11:44

reckon now than it used to kind of

11:46

just be the big chains. I don't remember like little

11:48

mum and dad pizza shops much

11:50

growing up. Yeah, they must have been out

11:52

there. But yeah, I think have

11:55

we changed or has the market changed?

11:59

a bespoke pizza

12:02

shop, you know, ideally run by, you

12:04

know, old Italian brothers or indeed

12:06

pizza sisters. But

12:09

pizza,

12:11

the chains have gotten

12:13

so innovative with their pizza,

12:16

you know, stuffed crust and

12:18

barbecue sauce on everything. And

12:21

squarish kind of pizza shapes.

12:23

I love that you're like, that's innovative, putting barbecue

12:26

sauce on a pizza shop at the time.

12:29

But yeah,

12:31

I don't know, perhaps they've innovated themselves

12:33

out of the market. Yeah. Well, now

12:35

it's like you can get anything on a pizza. There's

12:38

Mexican pizzas, there's gyros pizzas,

12:40

there's all sorts of variations

12:43

of pizza that you can

12:45

get. And I

12:46

don't know if this is true for other parts

12:48

of the world. But yeah, it's sort of like anything

12:51

goes on a pizza here. The Aussie

12:53

being a classic sort of staple

12:55

with like an egg and pineapple and

12:57

ham.

12:58

Yeah, I've never been a fan

13:01

of the Aussie. I don't know if I've ever actually gone an egg on a pizza.

13:03

But I don't know how I feel about it, to be honest.

13:06

Like some people feel that pineapple is wrong

13:08

on a pizza. Like, yeah, but how

13:10

do like who are these people who weren't just bought up

13:12

eating Hawaiian and accepting pineapple

13:15

on a pizza? Just like fancy

13:17

people, clearly. I'm glad that we

13:20

make it pretty clear early on that Bandit

13:22

is a fan of pineapple on a pizza,

13:25

because I feel like this is the great Australian

13:27

question. Like, where do

13:28

you stand as far as pineapple

13:31

on a pizza? It's definitely a big one. And, well,

13:33

you know, the pizza is cold Hawaiian. It can't

13:36

just be an Australian thing. Like, I feel like this might

13:38

even be global.

13:39

Really? Well, should we explain

13:41

a Hawaiian pizza for those who

13:43

maybe aren't as familiar with our

13:46

random pizza? It's like a tomato sauce

13:48

base. And

13:51

then you have chopped up sprinkled

13:53

ham all over with bits

13:57

of like chunks of pineapple.

13:59

out of a can and then

14:02

sometimes like like rather than the full chunk

14:04

they'd make it go further by like slicing

14:06

it up at times and just having

14:08

the thin piece or sometimes you get like a big

14:11

chunk and it would just sort of be getting proud

14:13

on the pizza. You've analysed some

14:15

Hawaiian pizza in your time, Kate, you've done it. I

14:18

love this. And then it's

14:20

the whole thing is coated with

14:21

varying amounts of mozzarella and usually

14:24

like the first bite is like the Molshein

14:27

Lava mozzarella and then it cools down

14:29

and it's like kind of plasticy. Yeah,

14:32

I find it delicious regardless. Give

14:34

it to me, it's great. Would

14:36

you like to order a pizza? Yes,

14:38

please. I want one supreme with no

14:40

mushrooms. Do you want garlic bread?

14:43

Yeah, I want garlic bread. You got

14:45

it. It will be there soon. Yes.

14:47

So yeah, we're not amongst

14:50

pizza snobs here. Although, Bandit

14:53

has quite a few demands for these poor

14:56

pizza sisters as Bluey

14:58

and Bingo establish themselves because possibly

15:02

an early line of the

15:04

episode for me, yeah, I

15:06

want garlic bread. It's

15:10

just like my personal kind of, you know,

15:12

motto approach to life. Obviously,

15:14

I'm always going to want garlic bread. But

15:17

then no mushrooms, controversial.

15:20

Yeah, you think it's controversial because look,

15:22

I have to be honest, mushrooms don't really

15:25

do it for me as a fungi. Like,

15:28

yeah,

15:29

I'll eat them if they're on a pizza,

15:32

but I wouldn't go out of my

15:34

way to add them. Hmm. I

15:36

went through a phase of like eating a lot of pizza

15:38

in a share house

15:40

with a vegetarian. So

15:43

mushrooms on the pizza was then the key

15:45

thing. Yes. But then someone moved

15:48

into the share house who didn't eat mushrooms and just

15:50

ruined it for everyone.

15:52

And I'm still scarred by this clearly.

15:55

So yeah, I think

15:57

we've covered up on a lot of pizza feelings.

15:59

Let's

16:02

move on to... Look

16:05

at the feelings

16:06

of the old versus the new. No!

16:09

I feel like this is where the episode

16:11

is ultimately leading us.

16:14

I'm back, pizza sister. Oh,

16:16

not again. I can fix it.

16:19

Mum, can we get a new car? You've

16:22

had Pedley since you were two. The

16:25

whole episode for me is this beautiful

16:28

dichotomy between how

16:30

things were and how they are now and

16:33

that process of changing to the

16:35

new, but also finding room

16:37

and the balance for the things that are

16:39

important to you that are more traditional.

16:43

And that's reflected in everything from the music

16:45

to Muffin.

16:49

I'm just going to say it really early, Mary. She's

16:51

my MVP of the episode. I just

16:54

love her so much in this episode.

16:57

What is this, Muffin? It's

16:59

an electric car. My dad

17:01

bought a new car and this came with

17:03

it. It dries without pedals.

17:06

How do you feel about Muffin? Like that entry

17:09

alone, like incredible.

17:11

Oh my gosh. There's

17:14

so much going on. Muffin has

17:16

personalised number plates in their fan.

17:20

It's amazing. Which

17:26

made me very sad when we finally see

17:28

Stripe's car and don't actually get to see

17:30

the number plate. I'm like, what

17:32

is Stripe's personal number plate? He must

17:34

have one. His Behealer

17:37

too, do you think? Because really he would

17:39

go with like STRP or something

17:41

like that. Yeah. Do

17:44

you reckon there'd be a... He's a baby brother.

17:47

He's got to carve out his individual identity. Maybe

17:49

it's SPETRX

17:52

or something like

17:54

that. Maybe. I think

17:56

tricks aren't tricks that have to get a mention

17:58

in there, surely.

17:59

Or maybe one of those families that's like

18:03

S T

18:05

M S or something like

18:07

that. Like a letter of read. Oh, well, Muffin's got her

18:09

own though. So

18:11

I don't think she's getting a look in on the family number

18:14

plate. Although, yeah. Meanwhile,

18:17

what does socks get out of this? Like,

18:20

I'm feeling very outraged for socks, but of

18:22

course it's Muffin who's got the

18:25

electric car that apparently

18:27

came with the new car

18:29

of stripes. Like this seems like a big call.

18:32

Well, see, this is what I don't understand because

18:35

Muffin says it came with the new car

18:38

and then stripers and it's very

18:40

expensive. Oh, OK. So

18:42

you're it's expensive. Like you can't have to

18:44

be straight cousins. Absolutely. Oh,

18:46

yeah.

18:47

Wow, we're going to deliver pizza fast now.

18:50

Stop. I'm just putting the pizza in.

18:53

You can't bring mud in the new car.

18:55

What?

18:55

Why? Because it's very

18:58

expensive. Oh, OK. I'm

19:01

sure Stripe spent a lot of money

19:03

on his car. So we've previously analyzed

19:05

in other episodes that his last car was like

19:07

a Lexus and they're

19:09

like upwards of one hundred thousand dollars.

19:13

You know, like so I mean, surely

19:16

I haven't

19:16

worked out what type of car this is because

19:19

I know nothing almost about cars except

19:21

you let us know. Yeah, do let us know,

19:23

please. You know, because my

19:25

son's loves of Hot Wheels, most trucks

19:27

is only extended that far so far. So

19:30

it's not a monster truck. There's

19:32

no one less. Muffin's driving it. But

19:36

yeah, I just think Muffin's

19:38

entry 10 out of 10. And

19:41

are you getting like

19:43

massive Shania Twain

19:45

that don't impress me much kind of vibes

19:47

from her refusal to lay the

19:49

girls in the car with their mud?

19:52

No, if I get that reference, I thought

19:55

I was very familiar with that. That

19:57

text, Kate, but you make me. take

20:00

off your shoes before you let me get in. I don't

20:02

know. I was just like, oh yeah, no. Okay.

20:04

Yeah. Yep. Uh, yes.

20:07

Now that you've said that, definitely. I

20:09

don't know. Like, she's just like, you can't bring

20:11

mud into the car. So, to

20:15

me, that's just what every parent

20:17

tells every kid and it's just,

20:19

yeah, the parroting, like obviously

20:22

in this episode, muffin and her car

20:24

pride and car rules and spouting

20:26

all the features, it's a convertible.

20:30

It's just, yeah, straight out of the

20:32

Stripe playbook. Um,

20:35

and her not being super

20:37

keen on sharing, I guess is, uh,

20:41

or having rules for the others is very

20:43

much

20:44

classic muffin and, and villain

20:47

muffin. Um, but

20:49

yeah, it's, it's heartwarming

20:51

to know there's a bit of a redemption arc coming

20:53

in this episode too. Hello

20:56

customers. And you just do this with

20:58

your foot and that opens the

21:00

boot. Oh, cool. Customers.

21:03

The boat's not working. I'll just ask

21:06

them.

21:06

Wait muffin no. We meant

21:08

to do it over the phone. They

21:11

want to support. Um,

21:14

let's talk about, um, what's

21:16

going on with the grownups. So Stripe, as you

21:19

alluded to is, um, absolutely

21:22

like going to town, talking about his brand

21:24

new car, hijacking

21:27

everything pretty much. Yeah. All they

21:29

want is to just sit there and eat these delicious

21:31

prawns and not burn,

21:33

they're not fake grass. Like,

21:37

but like, it's pretty annoying when you get

21:39

caught at a dinner party or something in that one.

21:41

Just has been one topic. Yes.

21:45

Yeah. Yeah.

21:46

Um, absolutely.

21:48

And you know, the, the eye rolls start

21:51

coming pretty thick and fast.

21:54

But actually, well, actually no, I think Stripe

21:56

does get humid. Yeah. Well,

21:59

initially. Um, you

22:01

know, we know Chilly bandits

22:04

being pretty,

22:05

you know, interested,

22:07

brotherly. Uh, and we know Chilly can

22:09

be a bit cutting when she needs

22:12

to be, but she manages to hold back until

22:15

they're out the front. And she's actually

22:17

got quite a thoughtful question for

22:19

Trixie. Yeah, rather than anything that could

22:22

diminish Stripe and his car pride,

22:24

I reckon.

22:25

Hey, hey, you're getting fingerprints all over

22:27

it. Do you like it, Trix? Aw, I

22:30

miss the old one. We brought the kids home

22:32

from hospital in it, you know? Aaaaah!

22:35

I think the thing that gets me with

22:38

Aunt Trixie when she says bringing

22:40

the girls home from hospital in the last one,

22:42

it really feeds back to what

22:44

Chilly was earlier saying about um,

22:47

Blue's car, for those people who might

22:49

be visually impaired or haven't seen the episode,

22:51

is like one of those Fisher Price

22:53

kind of ride-in plastic

22:56

numbers. It's like purple and you

22:58

sort of sit in and then you pedal it around. It's

23:02

sort of big enough for one kid really, but it's

23:04

got the doors on either side. And

23:07

um, you

23:08

know, you can still buy similar

23:10

sort of style ones. A lot

23:12

of people in the internet are re-detailing

23:15

theirs in the colours of

23:17

the healer girls one. I don't know if

23:19

they also make it so the wheel falls off, but

23:21

yeah, it's an icon

23:24

already. But like, just harking

23:26

back to Chilly's earlier message of, you know,

23:28

oh, there's a lot of stories in that car saying,

23:31

well, how can a car have stories? And

23:34

then, you know, almost

23:36

just a minute later, we're getting this beautiful

23:38

example of Trix saying, well,

23:40

we brought the girls home from hospital in the last

23:43

car. And that evokes, I think like,

23:45

to bring your kids home from hospital, I think

23:48

is one of the most terrifying trips you'll ever take

23:50

in a car. Like,

23:53

oh my gosh, I still remember

23:55

bringing Liv home and we'd

23:58

had an argument in the car park because

23:59

we realized that neither of

24:01

us were very confident in strapping in the capsule.

24:04

But like, you know, and she was

24:07

in and I was sitting next to her, I was like, holding her

24:09

hand the whole way. Yeah. And like watching

24:11

every second, you also go, oh my

24:13

God, I've got to bring you home and somehow keep

24:16

you alive. And

24:18

yeah, it's it's a wild

24:20

time. And I had forgotten that the

24:23

sitting in the back with the baby, like

24:27

people need that needs to be kind of

24:30

a history project of at what point

24:32

to what families like, OK, I

24:35

can sit in the front seat now. The baby's fine back

24:37

there. Kind of child three child

24:39

three. I was like, yeah, we're fine. I

24:42

didn't spend the whole of baby

24:44

ones life sitting in the back with him. So,

24:46

you know, you actually do move to the

24:48

front where you meant to be. But

24:51

yeah, it definitely lasted for

24:53

a few weeks, at least. Like, obviously,

24:55

I'm going to sit next to this precious baby.

24:59

And then when you had Bonn,

25:01

number two, sorry, Cassie, number

25:03

two, not Bonn, Ponce,

25:05

number one. Yeah. But

25:07

like we did you sit in the back, came

25:09

out of my home from hospital. Do you remember?

25:12

I feel like this might be a leading question that I can't

25:14

answer in case Cassie or I listen to

25:16

this. Sorry,

25:18

Cass. I'm telling you right now, I don't

25:21

think either of the boys has got someone sitting

25:23

in the back holding their hand.

25:25

Who's to believe? Oh,

25:27

man, this might be the biggest metaphor for parenting

25:30

ever.

25:32

Anyway, I

25:34

want to talk about like

25:37

the Fast and the Furious muffin

25:39

kind of thing. I mean, there's so much

25:41

on Paki studying with like, even

25:43

when she initially launches

25:46

off Bluey

25:48

and Bingo, their personalities are perfectly

25:51

reflected, I think. So muffin is

25:53

like hell bent. Just

25:55

like this look of steely determination,

25:58

her face. Bluey is terrible.

25:59

And the thing about is in

26:02

the back standing up with their hands right

26:04

up in the air, go, woo hoo, like

26:06

cruising through the underwear on the washing

26:08

line. Amazing.

26:11

Yes. Yeah. It's

26:13

just, yeah, there's so much character development

26:16

happening here in just one drifting

26:19

race car. It makes me so happy. And

26:21

the car, how it races, it goes straight

26:24

down the side of the house and

26:26

then does a perfect drift

26:28

right in a semi-circle past

26:31

like Bandits, Stripe, Chili

26:34

and Trix who are all admiring the new

26:36

car and then just keeps going

26:38

in like the

26:39

world. It's like,

26:42

you know, like I think most parents

26:45

would have seen cars

26:46

like with their kids, like such

26:48

a good Disney classic if you haven't seen it

26:50

because it's not too scary. But

26:53

yeah, like just did you have Lightning

26:55

McQueen in your head? Like turn right to go

26:57

left, turn right to go left. Yes.

27:01

Yeah,

27:03

I must admit I never understood that scene. But

27:05

yeah, they're talking about drifting. That's

27:08

a bit of a, I haven't seen cars as many

27:10

times as you Kate. Thank you. I

27:12

think that's a lot. I have seen it a lot. I think I've

27:14

made a revelation. We're ready, Matthew, but just don't drive too fast. Woo

27:16

hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo! Woo

27:19

hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo!

27:22

Woo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo! Woo

27:25

hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo

27:27

hoo! Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo hoo! Woo

27:30

hoo hoo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo

27:31

hoo hoo hoo! And you said, you

27:34

know, all the girls' personalities are just

27:36

written on their faces with their reaction. I

27:39

think we can learn a lot about the parenting

27:41

happening here or perhaps

27:43

just the desperate need for an adult weekend

27:45

that the reaction from all the parents as

27:48

the kids just drift perfectly

27:50

past is zero reaction. It's

27:53

just like, oh man,

27:55

I'm so here

27:55

for the day I can zero react to my

27:58

children drifting around the house. Yeah,

28:00

and like where's socks? She just toured the

28:02

backyard. They've left the one-year-old

28:05

in the backyard playing in the mud while the

28:07

electric car's doing laps of the house. Yeah,

28:11

you'd be worried about socks

28:14

crossing the road in front of that. But

28:17

I guess Muffin's is quick on the brakes as she

28:19

is on the oversteer, maybe? Maybe

28:25

they're like, it's only gonna last for three laps, we'll just

28:28

take our chance. Like, you know,

28:30

we'll

28:30

see if the battery cocks out. That

28:33

was fun! Can I have a

28:35

turn? Okay. Alright,

28:37

here we go. What's

28:39

going on? Oh, it's out of battery.

28:43

Oh, we have to charge it. So

28:46

yes, that was a very amusing

28:48

scene. And I have to say, I

28:50

giggled out loud when I saw

28:52

it for the first time. It was just

28:54

like a moment that perfectly encapsulates

28:57

the madness of the

28:59

girls when they're together. But also,

29:02

I don't

29:02

know, it was just a really interesting

29:05

play from seeing Bluey

29:08

pedaling in her old car to, you

29:10

know, the

29:12

other healers who are cashed

29:15

up,

29:15

boggins, basically, just splashing

29:18

the cash in this fancy electric car that

29:20

only goes for three laps and then leaves the

29:22

girls wanting more.

29:26

We do love to play up the differences between

29:29

the two healer families. But, and

29:31

you know, there's, like I said, a lot of redemption

29:33

arc. There's actually a new book out

29:36

in the Bluey series. It's being described

29:38

as a Valentine's Day book and it's called

29:40

I Love My Family by Bluey and Bingo.

29:43

Have you seen that I Love My

29:45

Mum? No, My Mum's the

29:47

best and I Love My Dad, I think, or

29:50

along those lines. My Dad is awesome or something. Yes, yeah,

29:52

that one. So those have been

29:54

kind of the Mother's Day and Father's Day releases.

29:57

But I Love My Family is...

29:59

similar told by Bluey and Bingo, but

30:02

it starts by Bingo saying,

30:05

I'm going to tell you why my family is the best in the

30:07

world. And Bluey's like,

30:09

oh no,

30:10

muffin's family is the best in

30:12

the world. Because they have a pool

30:14

and Stripe always buys muffin ice cream

30:17

and muffin has

30:19

an electric car and a caravan. And

30:23

you're forgetting the cat squad. The

30:26

cat squad does not even get a mention.

30:29

So yeah, the awesomeness

30:32

of the muffin Heeler family

30:34

clearly goes deep. But

30:38

we started reading this book for the

30:40

first time. And I think it's

30:42

only just out, but I was reading it with Cass,

30:45

who's very into Bluey books

30:47

at the moment, because he's finally worked

30:49

out how to look for long dogs. And it's his favorite thing.

30:53

And yeah,

30:56

when Bluey said, no, our family's

30:59

not the best muffin's family's the best, he

31:01

was

31:01

just shocked. He's

31:04

like, what is this?

31:07

So yeah, he clearly absorbed the like

31:09

bad cousins kind of narrative and

31:12

to have it flipped momentarily

31:14

was very funny. But anyway, they don't try and

31:16

work out who's the best. They work out

31:19

all the ways we love our family. And it's very nice.

31:21

But yeah,

31:22

good, good, good opening premise. Okay,

31:28

batteries charging kids. How

31:30

long does it take to charge this long?

31:33

Oh, yeah, that new versus old.

31:36

Oh, it's such a great sort

31:39

of starting point, I

31:40

think, because, you know, the battery

31:42

dies after like, yes, it's a

31:45

terror. And

31:48

then it's sort of like, well, what do we do now?

31:50

And

31:52

it only takes a quick glance over at the tap

31:54

before the girls are all of a sudden playing

31:57

pizza girls all together. Yes.

31:59

and doing a great job. And of

32:02

course back to old Pedley

32:05

and the virtue

32:07

of a car that falls apart is that as

32:10

soon as Muffin says what can I do it gives her

32:13

a job and a job that she wouldn't

32:16

have otherwise known she is very good

32:18

at. Hello

32:19

mechanic, I've broken

32:21

down. Coming! Hi,

32:26

I'm here to fix your car. My goodness,

32:29

that was quick. Fixed, there you go.

32:32

Although I think Muffin would be good

32:34

at anything she put her mind to, like she's got

32:36

future Prime Minister written all over her. Oh

32:38

my god absolutely, and she doesn't

32:40

have the money to get that job. She doesn't have the

32:42

money to get that job, yeah. Yeah

32:45

and I love that she's like sort of, it's

32:48

almost like an existential

32:48

crisis moment. She has like who can

32:51

I be, you know. And then

32:53

Blue is like oh you can be the mechanic and she just

32:55

goes straight for it. It's very

32:57

cute.

32:59

Always fun if there's

33:01

a piece of costume associated with a game

33:04

in our house how quickly you then need to find

33:06

that piece of costume. And I've

33:09

never found it as quickly as Muffin finds

33:11

the cap that Bindo wore as

33:14

the mechanic way back in Season 1 in Taxi. Like

33:16

what has that cap been doing? What an Easter thing!

33:20

I didn't realize it was the same cap,

33:22

that's so cool. There can only be

33:24

one mechanic cap and that is the way

33:26

it plays in our house for dress ups and

33:29

like role play all the time. But yeah,

33:31

can you ever actually find the thing? Well

33:34

that is a nice little throwback touch

33:36

I think. Yeah. Because

33:38

what episode is that? It's at Taxi.

33:41

Yeah we don't get mentions of doodad this time,

33:43

do we? No I don't think so. Although

33:45

Muffin does attach a stick to the

33:47

front of Pedley which she says

33:49

will help it go faster. I liked

33:51

that, that was very cool. If there was going to be a

33:53

doodad that would definitely be a doodad. Yeah but you

33:55

know cars these days, like the mechanic's

33:58

not coming out to look at the doodad.

33:59

you know reprogramming the computer and that's

34:02

probably the kind of car that both Muffin and

34:04

Stripe have so she might

34:06

never know about the doodad. That's

34:08

very true.

34:10

So there's one supreme pizza

34:12

with extra pineapple. Yep,

34:14

no mushrooms, you hear me? Got

34:16

it. You put mushrooms on it,

34:19

I'm good at it. Okay, bye. Let's put

34:21

mushrooms on it. Yeah!

34:24

Meanwhile the parents seem to be having a lovely

34:26

time. Massive shout

34:28

out to the background artists actually too because

34:30

this whole episode is set at sort of dusk

34:34

and the light in the episode really shifts

34:36

from that beautiful golden

34:39

sort of hour oranges to

34:41

you

34:43

know the last rays of light on the horizon

34:45

and then sort of more darkness. But

34:49

yeah, the parents seem to be standing around

34:51

enjoying their prawns and having a good chat.

34:54

And buying time for themselves,

34:57

geniously, because the girls are

34:59

playing happily. Of course you would never interrupt

35:01

that and say eat

35:02

some food or go

35:05

brush your teeth or anything like that. But

35:07

then to order how

35:10

many pizzas? I think it was ten. Ten

35:14

pizzas for a pizza party and to

35:16

take your time. I'm

35:18

just like, ah, it's... I

35:21

just want to play that game all the time. Yeah,

35:25

I feel like how often do

35:27

you like, you know, I've

35:29

noticed this when the boys are in the bath

35:31

or whatever and they want to play like Burger Shop or

35:34

you know whatever it is.

35:35

You know, there's only so many fake

35:38

things that you can eat before it actually just

35:40

gets like, you know, you get over pretending.

35:42

I'm loving that Bandit's literally just throwing

35:44

the mud back at the girls. But

35:47

yeah, and then

35:51

when they go over to chill, Blue

35:53

takes one of the last

35:56

pizzas over to chilli and

35:58

just like, because they've only... got the one box and

36:00

they're just emptying the mud into her hands

36:03

and she's like, oh, thanks.

36:06

It's great. It's so

36:08

much in that one little phrase. Yeah.

36:11

And immediately before that as well,

36:14

is it in character? Is it in character?

36:18

Bluey asks Chillie, how was

36:20

Italy? Sorry,

36:22

they've been playing so long that Mum's had time

36:25

to go to Italy, come back and

36:28

like set up a Prawn Knight with the family.

36:32

I love, you know, just the commitment to

36:34

play narrative, but also Chillie

36:37

has no idea what they're talking about. She's going

36:39

to roll with it. She was good. Yeah. I

36:42

love when she goes for it, you know, like she's

36:45

sort of confused, but you know, like

36:47

supportive. It's a nice place

36:49

to be.

36:50

Enjoy. Thanks. I'll

36:53

be back in a jiffy. Oops.

36:56

Oh dear. Maybe

36:58

it is time for a new card, Bluey. No

37:01

way. I've had Pedley since I was two. Of

37:04

course. Yeah. That

37:06

final pizza gets delivered in Pedley.

37:09

Pedley's

37:10

doing the hard yards delivering these 10 pizzas,

37:13

but

37:14

yeah, it was never going to last. The

37:16

wheels literally and metaphorically

37:19

fall off. Like,

37:22

yes. And Chillie has that moment where she

37:25

looks at Bluey and is like, oh, maybe we need to think

37:27

about getting you a new car.

37:30

And

37:31

it is so nice to see the script

37:34

flipped here. Yes. You

37:36

know, that Bluey in all the game, because

37:39

once Muffin's car had been recharged just

37:41

to backtrack a little bit, you know, she

37:43

almost looks

37:44

a bit disappointed that they've got to stop this more

37:46

traditional game of making mud pies,

37:48

you know, effectively that

37:50

they're playing and she's been playing

37:52

with their cousins without the bells

37:55

and whistles and things. So yeah,

37:57

I think, you know, again, going back to that.

37:59

traditional versus new. Louis

38:03

is realising the value in

38:06

that traditional

38:07

play and

38:10

she's come up with a modern solution to

38:12

fix it too, which is exciting. Yes.

38:17

Yeah, I think you said

38:20

just how exciting was the drift scene, but

38:22

Muffin just suddenly arrived at

38:25

full speed and ended up just slamming

38:28

brakes to be

38:30

the mechanic and fix Pedley

38:32

for the last time. Yeah,

38:35

like what a highlight. How's

38:38

the car mechanic? I put this one

38:40

on which makes it go extra fast.

38:42

Oh wow, you're a good mechanic.

38:44

Thanks. Alright, I'll make the

38:47

garlic breads. Louis has been so

38:49

encouraging of Muffin in this as

38:51

well and you can really see that

38:53

that's gotten

38:56

Muffin to the place where she has

38:59

thrown herself into this game. Whereas

39:01

if she hadn't been so encouraged by Louis,

39:04

I feel like, well, of course the new toy would

39:06

have had more pull.

39:07

So yeah,

39:10

the encouragement that we see

39:13

Bennett and Chillie constantly give

39:15

the girls in how they play.

39:17

Yeah, like it just always warms my heart

39:19

when Louis passes that on or pays

39:21

it forward. And yeah, Muffin is clearly

39:24

the

39:25

better fishery in this episode,

39:28

whereas Bingo and Socks

39:30

need no encouragement to play in the mud whatsoever.

39:34

But it sets Muffin up to save

39:36

the day as well.

39:38

Yeah, and I love that look of pride

39:40

on Chillie's face too, watching those

39:43

last little bits unfold. And then when

39:45

Louis is sort of like,

39:47

there you go, good as new.

39:50

And Chillie just gives her this

39:52

look of pure pride and love that

39:55

sort of really to me spells

39:58

out not only the closest to their relationship. But

40:01

I don't know, do you ever just look at your kids and just

40:03

go, oh my goodness, you are an amazing

40:05

person. Like, you know, like, and I'm so

40:08

proud of the things that you do. Like, you

40:10

know, it depends on the day, obviously, it's not

40:12

every day, but you know, it's so nice

40:15

when you have

40:15

those moments and you watch your kids doing

40:17

something that you're just genuinely so

40:20

pleased and proud of them for and that

40:22

you know that they've taken your wisdom

40:24

to heart. So, yeah,

40:27

I think Chillie was really, really

40:30

proud of, you know, like,

40:32

Bluey going from we need a new car

40:35

and wanting to chase the new and

40:37

then finding that joy

40:39

in something that's

40:41

maybe a little bit older but full of stories.

40:45

It's so beautiful. And

40:48

yeah, good as new is such a good line

40:50

because it actually makes you go, well, actually,

40:53

is it literally

40:55

as good as new or is actually

40:58

emotional

40:58

value, sentimental value,

41:00

is that better than new? Like, you

41:02

can't have that in something new. But

41:05

I heard a really great line from an

41:08

Australian poet, Kate Kennedy, recently

41:11

that's like,

41:12

I've come to realize sentimental

41:14

value is

41:15

the only value. Like, what do we have apart

41:18

from the emotions we attach to things?

41:20

Like, obviously, money has value and that is kind of

41:22

important. But, you know,

41:25

yeah, that really like,

41:27

yeah, sentimental value in

41:30

a Pedley or in the car you brought

41:32

the kids home in, you have that. And

41:35

I've just gotten rid of the car. We got

41:37

the kids home. We brought the kids home in.

41:41

And, you know, you have to rationalize it,

41:43

but you take the value out and you kind of carry it with

41:45

you as well. So I think,

41:47

yeah, I got a lot out of this episode

41:49

and I thought it was a really nice episode to carry

41:52

on from what

41:54

kicked off season three bedroom

41:56

because the message about like this room

41:59

has

41:59

stories in it.

42:01

That might not have been exactly

42:03

the line, but the room, you know,

42:05

it had been there. Yeah,

42:08

eventually they got to the thing. It wasn't

42:10

the room, it was the people that were in it. And

42:12

I

42:13

think the healers are going to hold onto Pedley.

42:16

But I think, you

42:18

know, they also do have the ability

42:20

to take those stories out and know, yeah, that they

42:23

value those. It's

42:26

like Marie Kondo when she was saying,

42:28

you know,

42:28

you can't hold onto the things that spark

42:30

joy. Side note, I'm so

42:33

glad. I love this story. I don't know

42:35

if you saw on social. This

42:37

doesn't know this story, only parent. I

42:39

don't know. But like, she's got three kids

42:42

now and she did this story basically

42:44

saying that she'd given up tidying now that she's got

42:46

three kids. And then just made me, I was like, if

42:48

Marie Kondo can't keep up, then, you

42:50

know, what hope do

42:54

the rest of us have when you're a self-compressed

42:57

tidying and you've made your whole career off it? So

43:00

yeah, anyway. That was an excellent

43:02

start to 2023, I've got to say. That

43:04

might be my highlight so far. Yeah.

43:07

But that aside, I think,

43:10

you know, having the things that spark

43:12

joy, I made a real effort

43:14

when we moved to

43:17

get out all the good stuff and just things

43:19

that, like, I have

43:20

some beautiful tea

43:22

sets and things that friends have given me. And

43:25

now we're just using the dessert,

43:28

like the teacup sauces as

43:30

our dessert plates all the time.

43:31

Because otherwise

43:33

it'll just sit there. And, you know,

43:36

today is just as good to celebrate

43:38

as any other day. So yeah, having

43:40

the nice stuff and doing that. And

43:43

yeah, and I think probably for me, Marie,

43:46

that sort of message about, you

43:48

know, balancing the new

43:51

and holding on to your stories

43:54

and keeping them close is probably

43:56

the Renee Brown moment of

43:58

this episode. So yeah,

44:02

I agree. Mine too.

44:04

Closely followed by just playing

44:06

in the mud when you get the chance. In

44:09

the prawns. Now

44:11

I've told you my feelings about muffin this

44:14

episode, but who was your most valuable

44:16

player, Mary?

44:18

Yeah, look,

44:21

muffin also, but I

44:24

think cause I just want to drift like her. Like

44:26

how do you learn that? Can

44:29

I get an electric car? Vin Diesel

44:31

came over and gave us some lessons.

44:33

I don't know. Holiday

44:35

we haven't seen in Wooey season

44:38

three yet is when muffin went to Tokyo. And

44:40

yeah, it was just all about the drift. Load of a drift

44:42

thing. I

44:45

can't wait for this secret episode. And

44:49

then, did

44:51

you have a favorite line? Yeah,

44:53

I think, yeah.

44:55

Leaning into the delights

44:57

of life. Bandit sets it up early.

44:59

Yeah, I want the garlic bread. Well,

45:04

I think mine was when Chillie

45:07

takes the pizza out of the box

45:09

from Blueey and she goes, oh, thanks. Because

45:13

to me, that just sums up so much

45:15

apparent hood. It's like, this is disgusting.

45:18

I'm still going to say, like, be polite about

45:21

it. But, you know, like she's

45:23

literally standing there holding dripping

45:25

mud for her daughter

45:28

to be part of her game. And I just, I

45:30

just thought that was beautiful. I also, can

45:33

I give an honorable mention to muffin

45:35

and how she said Supreme? Because, oh, that's

45:38

so good. Oh my God. Supreme. That's

45:41

the one, Supreme. It was Supreme.

45:43

Yeah. I don't know if other people know what

45:45

a Supreme is. I feel like I'm

45:48

questioning

45:48

everything about my pizza knowledge of

45:50

the world now. Supreme

45:52

is like everything, right? Like, is there

45:54

anything that's not on it? It's like capsicum and mushroom

45:57

and. I've never really known

45:59

what.

45:59

between a Supreme and a Meat

46:02

Lovers is. Cause Supreme has a lot of meat. It

46:04

does have a lot of meat, but I feel like it's also got

46:06

olives and a Meat Lovers I feel would have.

46:08

Oh yeah, no fair. Okay. And

46:10

actually I think a Supreme has like probably

46:13

a more equal

46:14

vegetable to meat ratio than

46:16

a Meat Lovers. Like a Meat Lovers is basically meat,

46:18

cheese and tomato. Mm.

46:20

Yeah. Okay.

46:22

We need to do some pizza research. We

46:25

need to have pizza together more, I think. That's-

46:28

Done.

46:29

Ooh.

46:32

Music wise, now Joff-

46:35

Things that spark joy. Yeah, Joff

46:37

worked, Joff Bush being the musical

46:40

maestro behind Bluey and oh my God,

46:42

Mary. I haven't even talked about it yet, but

46:45

Al

46:59

Okay. What do you know about this album? So

47:02

I'm very, very, very, very,

47:05

very excited about this album, Mary. And

47:08

the lead single is Dance Mode, which

47:10

is already available on all the streaming

47:12

sites and is going off. I

47:14

don't know how many times you've streamed it, but it is getting

47:17

a workout in a household, McMar. I reckon

47:19

it's every second song we've listened to

47:22

for two weeks. And I'm so fine

47:24

with that. It's amazing. And the cover art

47:26

done by Kostakassa is

47:28

just

47:29

amazing. It's Chattermax

47:31

up close in like these disco rainbow

47:33

colors. And yeah,

47:36

but talk us through the playlist, Mary. I think you've

47:38

got it up now. Yeah. So

47:42

this, it's available from

47:44

21st of April on

47:46

Spotify, but also as a limited

47:49

orange colored vinyl release. And

47:51

yeah, if you look up the vinyl,

47:54

it has the track listing. There's

47:56

a dance remix of the Bluey Themes tune.

47:59

dance mode like you say, but track three

48:02

is called Dubazu.

48:05

Oh, I reckon that's from movies. I

48:07

reckon that's Chuba Duba's

48:09

song probably. See,

48:12

I knew you don't. Track

48:14

four, The Biup Walk from

48:17

Housework. Yeah. Chattermax

48:20

is song six. How

48:23

they're gonna turn Chattermax into a whole song

48:25

is just terrifying to think about. The

48:29

music from Copycat, which Jazdasi

48:32

wrote, as she shared when she

48:34

chatted to

48:34

us, I

48:37

love that music. The Lollipop

48:39

Yum Yum Yum song from...

48:43

You know how I feel about Pacobell's Canons?

48:46

You know how I feel about Pacobell's Cannon? I

48:49

feel that way about Lollipop. So

48:52

that will be a skip song in our house

48:54

and no time. You can skip straight to track

48:56

eight, which is Cat Squad!

48:59

Oh my god! Now,

49:02

thank you, because I'm pretty sure that I

49:04

was like, I could listen to that

49:05

just on its own, that like teeny tiny

49:07

snippet that they did of Cat Squad. It is

49:09

a strangle. It's gonna be

49:11

so great. Yeah,

49:15

more themes from episodes in there, but the other

49:17

highlight for me is the gnome song featuring

49:20

Megan Washington. Sister

49:22

rain and father sun, make

49:25

the flowers grow. Brother

49:28

wind blows his boat, the

49:30

gnome has fire to go. ["Brother

49:35

Wind is Blowing"]

49:45

So I guess that's a full extended version

49:47

of... Brother wind is blowing.

49:49

Yeah, brother wind is blowing in. Welcome

49:52

home the gnome. Exactly.

49:54

And that's from Calypso, isn't it?

49:57

Yes, yep, it is. So that's gonna be amazing.

49:59

And then... a rain instrumental and

50:02

rain with featuring

50:05

jazz Darcy. And it's got lyrics

50:07

and the name of the like the name

50:10

in brackets name of the music is called Boldly

50:13

in the Pretend. So

50:15

I just, I'm getting

50:17

chills April thinking about

50:19

it. Why don't they make us

50:21

wait so long with Mary? Like really? It's

50:24

pretty rude, but

50:26

it'll be worth waiting for.

50:30

It's going to be amazing.

50:34

I think we're there on

50:37

the recap. I haven't done the music. Just

50:45

give me two seconds. I know we're nearly there. No,

50:47

no, go for it. So this episode

50:51

features a beautiful like, I'm

50:54

going to say like Italian-y

50:57

sort of inspired song

50:59

that's going along in the background. And

51:02

it was written with

51:05

Pluto Jones,

51:05

Lachlan Nicholson, who

51:07

has collaborated on quite

51:09

a few episodes now with Joff.

51:12

So Joff wrote on

51:14

Instagram about how, as

51:17

with a lot of EPs, they started off trying to find

51:19

that theme for the game for the kids perspective.

51:22

And they wanted it to evoke an old family pizza

51:25

shop without being too overt and losing

51:27

the sweetness of the episode. And

51:30

the instrumentation on this, I think much like

51:32

the episode, it's really gentle.

51:35

It's, you know, a lot of guitars. It's sort

51:37

of some strings. There's a little

51:39

bit of woodwinds and things.

51:41

But yeah, they wanted

51:43

to figure that, make sure, sorry,

51:46

that it was the music of the pizza shop

51:48

game didn't undercut that underlying message,

51:51

you know, with the old charm versus the modern

51:54

excitement. And Joff

51:56

actually said that he might have

51:58

missed a bit of an opportunity. there not

52:01

playing on that but I

52:03

think yeah he's probably right in his

52:05

assumption that too many themes in

52:07

a short time might have made it feel a bit more disjointed.

52:11

Now because the rest of the episode was

52:13

so gentle and beautiful and lovely

52:16

it really

52:18

brought home the humour and

52:20

wit in that little section where

52:23

they get in muffin's car and

52:25

just like the music is pelting

52:28

and that's you know just much like

52:31

how the car is speeding you know

52:34

we're having a cat squad sort of punk

52:36

out moment and you know we

52:38

go from this nice little gentle backyard

52:39

game to this incredible

52:42

contrast of the girls zipping around and

52:44

drifting around the healer house

52:46

in this electric car.

53:00

To do that Joff was saying

53:03

that they wanted

53:05

to go for like a real punk rock theme

53:08

and they used telecasters and

53:10

shouting

53:10

through kazoos to get the sort

53:13

of that whoo sort of noise

53:15

is in the background so yeah if you listen

53:19

carefully you can hear a bit of the whoo sort

53:21

of coming through like you know like when

53:23

you're going fast and you say put your hands up in

53:25

the air you say whoo so yeah. It's

53:29

a musical way of referencing

53:31

the the brightness the lightness

53:33

and the speed of that

53:36

little car ride and yeah

53:38

very clever very cute.

53:40

Yeah

53:41

yeah it really just made

53:43

this episode even more fun

53:46

and you know what's more fun than staying

53:48

up into the dark playing in the backyard as well.

53:50

I don't even know you should shout through

53:52

a kazoo. I want to give you a had a go now.

53:56

Oh man that sounds

53:58

like yeah something for a future Bluey

54:00

album, definitely. It might be as annoying

54:03

as the Chattermax song.

54:07

Um, okay. We are

54:09

officially there. Uh, Oh,

54:13

one more thing. One more thing, Mary. Um,

54:16

Dave McCormack features his

54:18

voice on dance mode. So,

54:21

so I don't know what crazy stunts

54:24

they had to pull and how much money they

54:26

had to pay to get his voice featuring

54:28

because, um, for, for fans

54:30

like us, um, they will

54:33

know that the first album didn't feature his voice

54:35

at all. It featured muffin

54:37

and it featured chili and, um, blew

54:39

in. Yeah. That

54:42

was a very noticeable absence of Dave McCormack

54:45

because Dave McCormack, as many

54:48

know, is, um, his

54:50

original way he got famous was

54:52

being the front man for a band called Custard

54:55

in Brisbane. And I think there was some

54:57

sort of weird conflict, record label-y

55:00

type situation. Yeah, he was

55:02

signed, you know, to do that

55:04

and, and not Bluey. So weird. I

55:07

know. So clearly they've sorted it out

55:10

and we are all the richer for it.

55:14

I'm just

55:22

picturing them sending muffin

55:24

over to sort it out, to be honest. Like I

55:26

assume that is how it went down and that is

55:28

what I'm going to assume until anyone

55:30

tells me otherwise. Drifting

55:32

into the record store, car park. Yeah.

55:35

Listen up. Little spin.

55:39

I

55:42

think we should drift out of here. You should all drift

55:44

onto our socials. We are at

55:46

Blueypod on Insta and

55:50

Facebook at Blueypodcast. On Twitter,

55:52

you can email us blueypod at gmail.com.

55:57
