S04E10. Absurd Realities

Join the Big Mouse and Ferg for the season finale, focusing on some of the absurd realities of life that we generally ignore, but stop us in our tracks when we do pay them attention. Your hosts also reflect on season 4 and of course reference the upcoming proverbial wedding of Ferg and his fiance! Thanks for listening, community.

The Big Mouse and Ferg wrap up their needlessly self-indulgent wedding spectacular with Part 2 of their deep dive into (holy?) matrimony. This week: night before activities, wedding morning shenanagins, reception and speech politics, questionable dancefloor behaviour, money and gift etiquette, and the great modern dilemma — Day Two or Not Day Two? As always, there are tangents, oversharing, and enough anecdotes to test the patience of even the most committed member of the community, man!   This is the penultimate episode of Season 4, so please 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

This week, The Big Mouse and Ferg reflect on times they have been bitter in their own personal lives. Success of friends, old grudges, school teachers, times of injustice - all get a look-in and an examination during this chat. 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. In the final act, the pair turn their attention to another public figure, exploring the roots of that person’s bitterness and what may have shaped it.   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

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. Hulk Hogan was a wrestler, a hero to many, a notorious liar, and by his own admission, a racist. Bearing all this in mind, your hosts discuss and dissect the complex legacy of arguably the most famous professional wrestler of all time.   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   

This week the Big Mouse and Ferg delve into the practice of (unintentionally or intentionally) using other people as a crutch to make oneself feel more comfortable in social situations, and other people doing the same.   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   

This week, The Big Mouse and Ferg respond to quite a bit of listener feedback, then literally talk shit for the remainder of the episode!   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   

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
