Ruff Sketches (Escape)

If you don’t like the word Dunny, this episode might not be for you. But we do provide lots alternatives! The Etsy monster makes a terrifying appearance alongside lots of visual jokes (sorry) and the house always wins in this family-centric bottle episode. And we finally address that bursting inBarks. But not in front of the Queen. Zillow ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ1evssA-Hg

To everyones great surprise, we haven't gone away! Just life got in the way! So lets use our time machines and pretend like we never left. There's talk about school introductions, Chattermax instructions while Marty needs his MT time and Brendan self-referencing The Sign. Too much chat about the design of the gun while the world wants to know, Frank, just what YOU done? Learn about the origins of this for real life as Marty uses maths to cause Brendan strife. As we look to the future and THAT mystery dog, may we all remember this show is from God. 

Well if you thought we had too much fun in Sydney, wait till you hear the giggles in our voice when we chat to the man himself JOE BRUMM! We deep dive into all things "The Sign". Does the longer format help or hinder? How often did Joe move house? (No we don't have his address) We learn the origin of how Joe came to be an animator along with extended B-plots from the already extended episode. There's even discussion Queensland road rules, knife twisting and probably the best damn "Not a Dad" ding in history. Much like "The Sign", this ep has it all! 

Let us tell you about our weekend. It's no big deal really. We were just among the first people in the WORLD to see the latest Bluey episode THE SIGN. And we three 'Barners travelled interstate to do so. So yeah, nothing major to report.... OH MY GAWDFASGDAJ OSPADG NSWADG NKNF. @LB !!!!!1!!1!!!

What defines a hero? Is it historical? Are they from Lord of the Rings? Is it Dog Tropes? Is it quirks of the English language? And Magpies - are they friend, or foe? We invent a new wedding idea that might just take off. Are scarfs common place in Brisbane? Every good episode deserves a montage (MONTAGE!) There's some awkward editing taking place as for real life interrupts our recording in real time - what will do?

Look, the term "exciting episode" gets thrown around a lot. But this legitimately is one for the ages. There is an actual HAMMERBARN - for real life - and we were there. Incredibly, that's not even the biggest news of this ep! It's so big, Brendan forgets how to speak - which is ironic considering the tale he tells about an amazing, truely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The rest, is Bluey history. 

This episode builds, and builds and.... wait what was I saying again? Just follow the instructions Frank! How many rooms is too many rooms? Just ask KimJim. There's a Community reference, poorly done sponsorship drop (not an actual sponsor), more Cricket chat because we can, ruined water cool talk and some not too shabby harmonies in there as well. 

Ok - we get it. And don't worry, it's addressed right at the top. Welcome to our nightmare! A place where Marty keeps speaking, Brendan keeps tenuous-ing and Frank gets called out by Ludo staff. But there's also plenty of Tolkein plot-holes, Warner Bros parallels, Coconut drinks and cross sections to be had. So hold your breath and enjoy another glorious Australia-specific puppeteering shoutout, all the way from the moon. 

This episode is a tribute to the greatest game - nay religion - of them all. With a runtime nearly as long as a Test Match, the boys delve into Australia’s national pastime and ask the impossible: How did Ludo sum up a global sport, in under 7mins? You better believe there is recounting of past sporting-glories and failures, shout outs to the greats, accusations of ball-tampering and all manner of good-natured sledging. Our apologies to the non-cricket playing listeners as we go hard on the references that are simply a part of how we speak. Plus maybe a few tweaks to our regular editing process to help set the mood (Blame Frank). Because on Boxing Day, you'll know where to find us at the MCG...
