Ferals: First Wrapup Part II

•

Ah sequels, where would we be without them? Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Speed 2: Cruise Control... my life would have no meaning!


In this final of our two-part wrap up show, we delve into a mega-credits segment that looks at the amazing cast and crew involved in creating The Ferals, and their other notable career highlights... well, at least those we can track down via IMDB. Some true private eye-level investigations there, folks.


We also cover our best and worst episodes (thanks to the stat-master Monkey Boy), general Season 2 'awards' and overall favourite moments from the podcast itself. Oh, and Swinny totally won the fan-voted VIP award. Completely legit. What a legend.So with that being said - from Monkey Boy, Swinny and Mike - thanks for all the laughs and goodbye!

Ferals Pie Lyrics

About six months ago

Monkey Boy had an idea for a very peculiar show

Maybe it was that nostalgia twitch

Childhood feels that caused this itch

Or maybe he just didn’t have a job for a while


But when he pitched this strange idea

Mike and Swinny weren’t so sincere

They wouldn’t commit to more than

The first season, if that


Now we remember feeling low

By Episode 3, Couch Potatoes

But our doubts faded out

As we became true fans of the show


[Chorus:]

So bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye

Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times

With Monkey Boy dragging Swinny & Mike,

Right into a show that exemplifies

Gratuitous violence and lies


[Verse 1]

And if Mike wrote the book of love

Then the very first line would be etched in stone

Shit – you wanna grab a coffee?

Still it was one effective line

Got him the girl, at least half the time

Well – maybe just the ones who spoke English


But Mike was a deeply tortured soul

QBasic gorillas torment him so

But the podcast exorcised

He's now QBasically alive again


He was a lonely flea-ridden immigrant

Wearing his awesome fake Adidas pants

But he knew it was his second chance

The day we started the show


[Chorus:]

But now we’re saying bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye

Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times

And good old Mike will curse till the day that he dies

Saying 'Screw that Future Luke and his plans'

'Screw that Future Luke and his plans'


[Outro]

I met a man in Officeworks

And I asked him if he needed help

But he just pointed at his headphones and shrugged

Then he went to the grocery store

To buy some tongues and seed clusters

And other various pink dollar products


That man’s name was Dave Dobbins

But not the famous kiwi one

An object of obsession

Swinny’s slice of heaven


And to the one listener we never bribed

Superfan Leigh, that awesome guy

He finally unsubscribed

The day the podcast died


[Chorus:]

Now we’re saying, bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye

Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times

These three men leave through the Doom Door, it'll cry

Screaming 'doom door sound'

'doom door sound'


[Chorus:]

Now we’re saying, bye, bye Ferals Podcast, goodbye

Drove the listeners insane with our antics at times

Now Monkey Boy, Swinny & Mike

Are saying – thanks for all the laughs and goodbye

  • S01E08 Rock Horror

     01:09:33
    Who doesn't love a homicidal living rock that has a penchant for singing French children's songs? I used to have one as a child – it was awfully gneiss. Episode S01E08 of The Ferals sees Robbie's Aunt Mavis pay the group a visit, while the Ferals are terrorised by a bizarre alien rock monster. Seems like something fishy is going on... and I'm not just talking about the rock.
