What features time freezing, force feeding, and stomach inflation but isn’t a pornographic Japanese cartoon? Why, it’s today’s episode of Round the Twist, “The Spaghetti Pigout”. Your abandoned Twists, Aaron and Gabriel, take a purely platonic look at how the dangerous new fad “elec-tricity” can turn the harmless VCR remote into a tool of really quite imaginable power. Thrill as the ABC effects department uses the fast forward button! Marvel as Gabriel struggles to tell two feral children apart! Shriek as Aaron points out some of Australia’s most frightening uggos! Cringe at stories from our listeners! It’s all here because nowhere else would take it.

In a timely episode, our Accredited Australians learn why you should never rely on the withdrawal method when making sweet love to cabbages. For starters, the Cabbage Dimension finds the whole thing extremely rude, and also because children like Bronson get left raising green babies that a worrying amount of authority figures believe to be biologically his. Speaking of infants born screaming into the world, Gabriel Twist unveils his Million Dollar Intro Theme for the podcast, and the boys learn more than they care to while reading fan E-mails.

Your Accredited Australians have reached episode three! If this were a Rove show they’d be cancelled by now, so we’re celebrating our non-cancellation in that most Australian of ways: getting other people to do our work for us. That’s right, ANSWER THE QUESTION by emailing us at [email protected] with your episode-inspired stories so we can read them on air and laugh at someone else for a change. Meanwhile, the Twists use drooling bovine skull child abuse to get a senior citizen’s dental work done in a remarkably prescient comment on proposed NDIS changes.

 Episode aired 11 April 1989
