The Hammerbarn Project – Details, episodes & analysis

He's been talking about it for ages but Frank has FINALLY been to the promised land of Queensland and the meca of Bluey's World. If you've already booked your tickets and don't want spoilers, maybe this pause this episode for a bit.! Learn about this amazing experience from out first hand experience and stick around for some little surprises thanks to our old mate Alfie...

Need some help around the home? Feeling emasculated? 3 or 4 days work? Did you hear about Ryans boat? Hear about Brendans Euro-adventures. (You have been warned!) All this plus an Aussie comedians finest work. 

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...

In an episode with literal ups and downs, we feature tonally different vibes, geo-politics and some classic kids books. Was it all part of Bandits master plan - or did he “Just do up his shoe”? How does Stranger Things fit into this and how can Brendan tenuously link it to Indiana Jones? Check out our socials for some amazing AI generated art that is very For Real Life!

Is Marty a Robot? Is Bob Bilby real? Is Brendan a Thief? Is Outkast's song a certified banger? Who wants some Woofles? Is this the best *adult* joke in the whole series? What colour tape is best? Does the garage exist outside of time and space? All this and more, after a word from our sponsor: The Muppets! 

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!
