Let it Go, Babe (Stickbird)
We’re back! And it’s about time for a musical intro – but you might be surprised at who the performer is... Lots of rolled up newspaper in this one as we explore the themes and lessons aimed at both kid and adult. Simpsons references are followed by the creation of the Brenny Decimal System. Both are wildly inefficient, yet entertaining. There’s some Magic in the air – but is that a good thing? I tell ya what’s not good : Brendan's worst pun to date. DO NOT CLAP IT!

*Deep Inhale* Ok - lets do this.

She Told You She Would (Driving)
There’s an aggressive Columbian Drug lord – and her name is Agatha. She is feared throughout the land for her curtain destroying powers. But it’s not as destroyed as Frank’s back lawn. Has Brendan given up? Did we witness a sneaky cameo of Wintons Mum? There are 5 minute timers, sunroof mishaps and 2000 brown M&Ms. Even an email that might just be the perfect piece of international correspondence. First you get the car, then you get the milk, then – you get the curtains.

Higher, Softer, Warmer
Golly Gosh – these intros are somehow getting worse. But there’s always Pasito and an ultra-consistent Marty. Local sponsorship in the wings? Lots Dad-bod jokes to be made here. Why is Brenny’s dad bald – listen to find out. Frank gets frustrated at a reoccurring joke… Some interesting camera techniques and tricks in this episode – suspend that disbelief people! Which kind of sibling are you? The stick in the mud or the care-free type? Find out Naomi’s new nick-name and more in this tangent-filled episode. Check out the ultimate Hooray Super-Cut and some equally wonderful artwork too.

WE CANOOOE! (Grandad)
Just when you thought we'd run out of Arnie movies, Marty hunts the big game. It's a fast paced episode so Frank gets right to it: Who the Real Star of the show is. There's stories of our own grandads, Hobbit references, the awkward passage of time and even some mis-use of the ding. Inbarks and Blue Credits of course but what bush-bashing adventure would be complete without the ultimate camping watersport: Can-Noooooe!

Asimov's Dog (Daddy Robot)
A tale as old as time - when the machines rise up against us. But before that, hear how another type of machine interrupted Frank and Marty's holiday... With sci-fi references galore (and yes, Arnie) this ep will have you reaching for the history books and films you should have long ago consumed. Till all are one! (Totally not written by ChatGPT)

Too Good (Bedroom)
For everyone that’s ever moved house - this one is for you! In our disorganised episode ever we ask the hard questions: Can siblings really share THIS well? Is Bandit the comeback king? Which box has all our stuff in it?!??

BONJOUR (Pavlova)
Ceci est la description de l'épisode. It's another international episode where Bandit absolutely steals the show. There's some amazing suss looks, quips and a well-worn phrase book. Frank describes a For Real Life for the ages - it's all a big game of Risk. And Beans. Discothèque.

Bark Side of the Moon (Bin Night)
Look to da Luna! Today we bury the lead – but not before Frank jumps the gun yet again. Marty blows us away with a stunning Bare Bones that has to be heard to be believed. It’s the debut of the mighty Aussie (British?) wheelie bin and of our good friend Doreen! There’s some great band names in here too – just like this guy Banjo! Frank’s toy collection gets a bump before a world first: Jack’s Picks! Then it’s time to answer some more of you wonderful emails – and yes, the Christmas Carol debate continues! Oh and some terrible segue's – Brendan’s finest work.

Your Loss, Bosco (Double Babysitter)
It’s double the fun, double the romance and doubly silly. Because, it’s us! The Hammerbarn Project Presents: A tale as old as time - Fisky and the Dragon. But is he as stinky as he pretends? *Shrug* Probably. We follow up on the Jared Connection Theory and learn that kids really do say the darndest things. Much like Frisky, we venture outside our comfort zone to find Sand Worms, Fact Checking and The Dead Eyes Open. Quick fan poll: Of the three of us, who are the baby sitters for Brendan?
