This week, The Big Mouse and Ferg reflect on times they have been bitter in their own personal lives.

They then move on to a character study of professional wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart, a man so bitter he could open a lemonade stand.

This week, in the wake of the new four-part documentary series about his life, The Big Mouse and Ferg reflect on their childhood memories of Hulk Hogan, but also delve into the man behind the gimmick.

Ferg and the Big Mouse return with Season 4, Episode 2 of Feckology to rant about cultural institutions that have lost their proverbial spark. They make a perverse attempt to link declining chocolate and Easter egg quality, with the fading buzz of cinema, fragmented music culture, and sport becoming over-analysed and formulaic. Is this just part of the changing wind? Is it written in the stars? And how should old farts cope with this perverse new world?   Let us know, Listener, what you think by leaving us a voice message:   https://www.speakpipe.com/Feckology   Follow us on X:   https://x.com/feckology 

The Big Mouse and his co-host (under a new moniker, as is tradition) return with Season 4 of Feckology! On this episode we discuss turning 40, a topic which was touched upon and danced around quite a lot during Season 3.  We examine how we both felt in the lead up to our respective 40th birthdays late last year, talk about the events themselves and associated celebrations, and reflect on how we feel now that it is in the proverbial rear-view mirror. A lot of quite personal discussion in this one! We would love to hear from The Listener about this topic.   Let us know what you think by leaving us a voice message:   https://www.speakpipe.com/Feckology   Follow us on X:   https://x.com/feckology   

The Big Mouse and A-train reflect on the never-ending nature of household chores! These chores never end - did you realise that would happen when you were a child?
