Brendan is excited. We’re all excited. You SHOULD be excited. Season ~3.7115 (yes, that’s mathematically correct) is coming and there is MUCH to discuss. And to listen too! New songs to listen too! And in typical chaotic fashion, we recorded this 24hrs before the amazing Rain track dropped! What an April it will be! Back to you in the studio. 

Sorry for the delay folks – but to make it up to you, we bring you an extended episode of one of the most magical Bluey eps ever. Rug Island – it’s a magical place. Time has no meaning, Pens are the tools of the gods and some very Adelaide-specific references fly overhead. In the wafting breeze you can hear such faint murmurings as Donkey Kong, the merits of licking sporting equipment, Action Scenes and Fat Red Faces. Marty aches at the false constructs of society, Brendan throws Frank under the bus, but Frank doesn’t care because this episode is just, Everything. And to our amazing listeners – old and new – who continue to write in : Congratulations, you are now not a grown up. 

Roll up! Roll up! Wag those tails and get your opera glasses ready, its time for The Show! First the flying Airbenders performing a obscure niche reference act. Next, Brendan the Sensitive Guy feels emotions and invests deeply in other peoples relationships. The fantastic Rainbow Baby gives insights into parenting and the mysterious olden days couple unpacks lore of mickey mouse pants (or was it shoes?). And of course audience participation. Again!

When is the beginning the end? When it's a Chickenrat of course! This episode is all back-to-front and is punctuated by some truely magical moments. Bingo can't math, Bandit's delaying tactics are second to none and the makeup of a Chickenrat is brought into disrepute. And Billy Joel. It really is a great episode of the Stuff Brendan Has Podcast. This episode also sees the debut of Bwendan, a real estate mogul penguin.

After our massive milestone there was only one way to celebrate - by finally relenting to the black-hole-level pressure applied by Marty. Yes folks, we're going to Space. In what might be the most emotionally nuanced and longest episode we've ever done, Marty makes multiple multi-layered sci-fi references that leave us, a little dizzy. The man in the white coat has some weird wings. And Doota-tron is here too. Oh and Sound FX. Yes. 

Aaaaand yes! With a quick upload they've done it - a well made 50 on debut. Though there were some question marks heading into this innings, Hammerbarn shall not be denied! In celebration of the milestone, the lads go to where it all began - that's right, we record ON LOCATION at our local Hammerbarn. What better place to look for all the Bluey references with some wonderful for-real-life items. And as any Aussie will tell you, every good trip to Hammerbarn ALWAYS ends with a snag in bread. Keep your eyes peeled on our socials for all the pics of our epic day out! 

Merry Merry NuNear listeners! It’s a new year and you’re STILL listening to us? What a cause for celebration – but not TOO much celebration. Cause thar be whale watching in the morning to do! To ring in the new year we re-open our InBarks to respond to you lovely people who took the time. In our nautical journey, we make a few discoveries: Greg is a ratbag, Natalie Portman is one Brenny’s speed dial, and Pirates are somehow related to David Attenborough.  Is this the roughest we’ve ever seen Bandit and Chilli? Parent guilt is a real thing! Naomi’s picks is back and we close it all out with a memorable outro – best one of 2023 so far! 

And so this is Christmas. And what have you done? A poorly placed Uncle Stripe - Bluey bitten on the thumb. In a Hammerbarn first, the team have a trio of roving reports too cross back and forth with, as they honor a local tradition of attending the local Pageant. Err, by attending I mean watching on TV - and by roving reports I mean, it's, well, us.... But there is some ACTUAL news about the living arrangements of one Dr. Martin. There are multiple special guests, breaking (Adelaide) news, pageant float critiques and so much more in our longest EVER episode. But let’s get to the big question: Hot or Cold Custard? DEBATE! And so happy Christmas - and a Happy New Year! 

Toot toot! Yep, Brendan brings props. Sorry. The worlds of public transport collide (figuratively) in an Adelaide vs Sydney vs Brisbane showdown! Are trains romantic or have we romanticised that fact? And yes there might be wormhole theory on the tracks but listen, the rules still apply mate. Brendan and Frank steal Martys thunder multiple times but it’s okay – MVP Chilli is here to help. Naomi’s Picks continues to delight meanwhile, the humble slug leads to possibly our worst/best pun of all time. Oh and who remembers Viewmasters? 

Technology – it is a wonderful beast, but when that beast is Muffin…. Hold onto your phones parents! This episode takes screen-time to a new level complete with Golden Eyes, Muffin the Legend and good ol’ ST. And in the most amazing turn of For Real Life, we have some slight technical issues. Cheese and Crackers! I urgently advise you to allow Mum to just, do her thing. Can we mute Brendan now?
