S02E04 Home Truths

•

If somebody travelled back in time and told past-me 12 months ago, that future-me would be 19 episodes deep into an in-depth podcast deconstructing The Ferals, I’m sure that past-me would simply shake his head and not believe them.

Future-me would then get totally bummed out by that, and take it upon himself to also travel back in time, but this time further - 32 years ago. Unfortunately, since the time machine (named the Temporal Transfer Field) can only send living tissue back in time, future-me (now 32 years in the past) would have to go to a nearby bar and steal clothes and a motorbike in order to travel to past-me’s mother’s house. At the same time, sensing the danger she is in, Mike is also sent back 32 years into the past to protect her, ultimately finding her in a nightclub and saving her from future-me. Together, Mike and past-me’s mother escape future-me, narrowly avoid death in a high-speed pickup truck chase and hide out in a factory. Together they destroy future-me by crushing him (me) in a hydraulic press, and celebrate by procreating in a dodgy motel room to ultimately create past-me in 9 months.

  • S01E01 An Explosion of Talent

     01:02:22
    You know what would make a great children’s TV show? Budgie-smugglers, mass beatings and industrial metal band Ministry. The inaugural episode of The Ferals Podcast is an in-depth look at the cult classic ABC show The Ferals – in all its glorious and immoral wonder. In Episode S01E01, we’re introduced to the titular gang of dirty puppets, a douchebag promoter named Joe King and his two new neighbours – a guitar-wielding medical vixen and a friendzoned science student.

    Pirate teddy bears, water polo and nude tiddlywinks. Three things you won’t find in Episode 03 of The Ferals Podcast! Never fear, dear prospective listeners – there’s still a lot of oddball fun to be had, even if it doesn’t contain any water polo. Sorry about that. In Episode S01E03 of The Ferals, the animals become obsessed with watching television, while the humans undertake a massive $200 bet (in the 90s, you kidding me?) to see who can abstain the longest. From watching TV, that is. Listen as Monkey Boy, Swinny & Mike delve into the bizarre, violent – and at times, frankly disturbing world of Australian children’s TV show, The Ferals!

In Episode S01E04 of The Ferals, the animals bury treasure and lose said treasure, while Joe King builds a brick wall in front of Robbie and Leonard’s front door. What a prick.

  • 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. So, for an in-depth discussion on coin faces, yellow fruit, Ric Flair in drag and Mike talking his usual brand of nonsensical rubbish, look no further!
