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

Alas, it's all over, the last _fresh_ Ferals-related recording from us; yes, we still have our best of season two as a final release. But wait, in our obvious subconscious desperation to hold on to any semblance of a show that provides us three with a scintilla of meaning in our life, we've run over time. Yes, a whopping Peter-Jackson-worthy three and a half hours of raw uncooked Ferals deconstruction goodness. We've decided to split the recording into two parts: 1) First Wrapup and 2) Ferals: First Wrapup Part II.
What you'll get in this episode: an in-depth _Charlie Rose_-esque panel interview our of #2 Superfan Leigh, our take of the Ferals Extended Universe (EU) including Feral TV and the Ferals Fantastic Funbook and close it off with some random Ferals trivia.
Join Monkey Boy, Swinny, Mike and Superfan Leigh as they revisit the bizarre, violent – and at times, frankly _disturbing_ world of Australian children's TV show, The Ferals!

This is it - dear listeners. The final countdown! It's been a long, hard road, but we're finally up to the last ever episode of The Ferals - Fossil Fools.
While we still have our final wrap-up episode and Season 2 highlights package on the way, I feel it's only fitting that we step back and take a moment to bask in the glory of our accomplishment.
Over 37 hours of talking bullshit about a 90s Aussie kids puppet show.
Damn. That's a lot of bullshit.
In the finale - Episode S02E15 - all hell breaks loose. The gang open up a dodgy dinosaur park, Mixy has crap thrown at her face, Derryn gets a prick in the ass and everything is literally CRUSHED, KILLED and DESTROYED by the show's climax.
What a way to go out. Bravo! *clap.gif*

It took 29 episodes, but it's finally come down to this, dear listeners.
I'm quitting The Ferals Podcast. I know there's only one episode left to review - but I just can't take it anymore. The pressure to perform at an elite level; to put on an entertaining show, week in, week out - it's too much for me to handle. So, I'm sorry Monkey Boy & Mike - Swinny Costello is hitting the road. Going it alone. Like Jane Eyre - I've got to turn my back on something I truly love in order to continue my journey of self-discovery and Independence.
So please join me next week - where I kick off the very first episode of my new solo episodic analysis show - The Hogan's Heroes Podcast.
'I see NOTHING! I know NOTHING!' It's gonna be so awesome.
Episode S02E14 of The Ferals features Joe joining the army, Keith & Kylie declaring gang warfare, Lenny having a SNIF and Mixy being horrifically tortured by the enemy. Just like Guantanamo Bay - but with more puppets!

Back in the episode summary for S02E05 - I predicted that Lenny would be the character most likely to snap and kill everyone on the show. But now I see I was truly misguided - my imagination led astray and lulled into a false sense of security by a character whose early intentions seemed good, nice...
Innocent.
However... imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in.
Robbie - you tricked me. And as I lie here dying - writhing in a puddle of my own blood after being bludgeoned by your electric guitar, all I can do is look up to the stars and scream your name. CURSE YOU, ROBBIE THE RIPPER!!
In Episode S02E13, Mixy is on the hunt for evidence of a homicide! Watch (or listen) in suspense as she struggles for proof that Robbie is beginning to murder her close friends in cold blood - and the Ferals are next.

Ahhh... weddings. Everybody loves weddings. Or at least the guests sculling all the free alcohol do. So with that in mind, there's no better time to talk about another relevant subject that is very important, my friends.
Laser Tag.
For far too long, the dangers of Laser Tag have been concealed to the general public. But I'm here to uncover the truth and lay this barbaric excuse for a sport out for all to see! A few weeks ago, I witnessed - first hand - the horrors and terrible repercussions of this dreadful pastime. Psychotic breakdowns, ear drum-piercing screams, fits of involuntary rave dancing, career-ending cramps - and crippling broken backs.
No sport is worth a trip to the Emergency Ward.
Laser Tag - don't do it.
Episode S02E12 features a wedding; Joe's getting hitched, Lenny is the best man and Keith is the marriage celebrant. It's a joyous and gummy-filled time for all!

As we creep closer to the end of The Ferals, it's beginning to really dawn on me...
It's almost over.
What the hell am I going to do when the show ends? How will I ever survive without my weekly fix of Rattus P. Rattus, Joe King and the crew? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE SWINNY!?!?
There's only one solution when we hit Episode 30.
Do it all again... The Ferals marathon, bitches!
In Episode S02E11, Rattus swallows a bomb and is forced by the gang to either vomit or crap it out to survive. Oh, and Derrin buries everyone alive. This, that and more - in this AFI award-winning episode!

I just came up with the most awesome idea EVER. I mean - the best possible idea one could possibly ever come up with.
...a Hollywood action-blockbuster interpretation of The Ferals - with all the animals played by actual actors - directed by Michael Bay!
Rattus would be played by Tom Cruise, naturally. Modigliana would be played by Megan Fox (because Michael Bay). Scarlett Johansson would be Mixy and the part of Derryn would be played by Kelsey Grammar. He was in Transformers once, I think.
Keith & Kylie? CGI robots. Because robots are bloody awesome.
Episode S02E10 of The Ferals details the rise of Mixymania! Mixy becomes a rapper, while Joe becomes her obsessive manager and recruits Keith and fake Kylie as her backup dancers. And Rattus? He jokes about blending rabbits.
Rattus. Rattus never changes.

6 episodes away from the end of The Ferals, and I have a sneaking suspicion we'll never get to find out the answers to these very important, plot-critical questions:
...Did Derryn ever rebuild peaceful diplomatic relations with the moon-king?
...Will Lenny ever confess to lending his 'home movie' collection to Rattus?
...Was the rock monster actually Bumblebee from Transformers?!?
...Is Joe King's middle name 'Far'?
You've got six episodes, people - time to start wrapping up those loose ends!
Episode S02E09 of The Ferals features the launch of Ferals TV, Robbie learning the sax and Lenny threatening to rub animals together to create electricity, all the while screaming "I'm going to have to science the shit out of this!"
I may have gotten part of that mixed up with Matt Damon. Oh well, still relevant. Science on, Lenny!

Priceless.
In Episode S02E08, Joe wins big on the lottery. Picks up a fat wad of prime time benjamins. Gets his hands on some fresh dough. Is rolling in the moolah. Piling up stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks. IT'S ABOUT MONEY PEOPLE!!!!
We also talk about a very special cult classic named Beastmaster. Don't want to miss out on that one, folks - it's a favourite of mine.
