Pass the Parcel (aka Birthday Party Invitees Convenient for the Purposes of This Episode)

Is Pass the Parcel the most controversial episode of Bluey yet? The clickbait stories would suggest so, but Gotta Be Done is seeing plenty of Brené nuance falling out at every layer!  From tradies and their dexterity to concert pianist rock stars, birthday party expectations to English county fairs, and of course where the hell we're meant to get resilience and empathy, Mary and Kate take this recap back to the 80s (and 1800s) and back again in their search for answers.  Also, is Pass the Parcel 30 seconds better/more important than Sleepytime? Either way, the extra minute is the perfect big prize in the middle!  ++ Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!
