'Cabin Fever'

Cabin Fever #43: Aaron Gets Fired

Posted Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 at 20:56pm

This week the boys talk pythons fighting alligators, have special guests, flame-throw the in-laws, and give a quick re-cap of the fantasy league for all the folks involved. The 60 Second Music Review actually shows up this week, and Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer plays the show out. Warning: This podcast contains dramatic scenes and use of the C-word even more than normal. We advise that you gather the kids ’round for a tale before bed-time…

Cabin Fever #42: Insert Douglas Adams Joke Here

Posted Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 23:09pm

It’s been a long day for the boys. Hectic schedules equal low energy reserves. However, it doesn’t diminish the odd conversation. We have a welcome return of the “You Put What Where?” section, talk of fake appendages, and then engage in a rather embarrassing attempt to make sense of an air-pump/rectum incident…

Cabin Fever #41: Phone Fun

Posted Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 at 4:23am

The boys have an adventure with technology and call rock star Blake Rawlings about future endeavors, turn the show into and audioVISUAL piece, and also manage to fit in ramblings about sky-sex, Jamie-Lynn Spears, and Galaxy Hitchhiking. Music from Joe Doyle…

Cabin Fever #40: Back To The Grind

Posted Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 20:43pm

The Cabin Boys are back to business as usual this week. No more crappy sound and drunken Snyders, instead we have talk of the fantasy premier league, Russell Brand, and a lady named Soiled Susie. We have “commercial breaks” provided by Paul and Storm, and playing the team out is House Of Large Sizes. 40 podcasts! Insanity…

Cabin Fever #39: Allskate

Posted Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 4:38am

pHitzy has returned to Jay Edwards’s loft in an attempt to rescue his friend Aaron Poole from the clutches of the vile gangster Dana the Snyde. Joining in on the proceedings are friends of the show Jeff Defalque, Ashley Zelzter, and - of course - Mr. Jay Wade Edwards…

Cabin Fever #38: Episode V - The Snyder Strikes Back

Posted Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 5:27am

It is a dark time for Cabin Fever. Although Ken and pHitzy have recorded a perfectly good show, the two rejects Dana and Aaron, in an attempt to stay relevant, spew rubbish for an hour. Many subjects are raised in an effort to hide their sense of rejection, but ultimately they fail…

Cabin Fever #37: P-p-p-pick Up A Podcast

Posted Thursday, August 28th, 2008 at 3:18am

The guys record this week’s episode while “on a plane” (wink) on their way to DragonCon (wink wink). Recording in transit proves to be no problem for them, and they amuse themselves with talk of penguins (both the knighted and edible kind), Ravi Shankar’s family ties, Zac’s big news, and they also find time to reminisce about their angst-filled college days. All this and more before they even munch their in-flight peanuts (wink wink wink).

Cabin Fever #36: You All Everybody

Posted Friday, August 22nd, 2008 at 2:13am

What do you get when you mix cough medicine, red bull cola, and cold Burger King? You get this week’s mess of an episode, recorded live and in colour from pHitzy’s basement. Many things are mulled over, including Jade Goody’s cancer, the steward of Gondor’s eating habits and LOST’s missing mancunian. Music is by the apparently awful Funky Junkies…

Cabin Fever #35: Olympics and Bourbons and Rain, Oh My!

Posted Thursday, August 14th, 2008 at 2:00am

This week the lads come totally unprepared, even forgetting to plug in their mics for the first ten minutes of recording. A trip to the thrift shop supplies them with cheap but tasty biscuits to munch throughout, serving as perfect fuel for discussions on the Beijing Olympics, folks’ fear of spiders, beer cans from around the world, Aaron’s growing Russophobia, the sad loss of two legends in two days, and the imminent return of the Premier League. Due to popular demand, music is provided throughout by The Vinny Club…

Cabin Fever #34: Holy Spoilerific Podcast, Batman!

Posted Thursday, August 7th, 2008 at 1:36am

Everyone’s least favourite podcast returns yet again, same Fever time, same Fever channel. Due to popular demand, our cabin dwellers discuss their somewhat jumbled impressions of THE DARK KNIGHT, which seriously eats into their bulls— time. Still, they manage to squeeze in talk of caffeinated food stuffs, Brian’s unhealthy desire to meet Hayden Panettiere at DragonCon, cursed X-Box 360 games, Macaulay Culkin’s “Oh” face, plus they throw in an update on one of their stories from yestercast. For those who still have not seen Chris Nolan’s latest offering, and want to remain in the dark (knight) about the plot, the spoilers start/end times are approx 18:00 and 44:15. Avoid that chunk of awesomesauce and you’ll be good to go. This week’s musical treats come from The Vinny Club and The Teddyboys…

Cabin Fever #33: Turty Tree and a Turd

Posted Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 at 23:01pm

This week the lads get perplexed by a man’s sexual habits, get shocked by what two girls do with their Wii, and get a little spoiler happy with the new X-FILES movie. There is music from Moth Complex and, as always, plenty of things you won’t want your kid to listen to. Disgusted? So are we…

Cabin Fever #32: Worst. Episode. Ever.

Posted Thursday, July 24th, 2008 at 3:20am

Despite the fact that we have a good song from Bad Poetry Minute playing out the show… there’s not much else about the show this week that went well. Sure, we have a another taste-test. Yeah, we have some odd news from around the world. We even announce the start of the Cabin Fever Fantasy Premierleague competition. But try as they might, these morons just can’t figure out what’s wrong. Help us diagnose this mess by listening…

Cabin Fever #31: P.S. I Love Blake

Posted Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at 0:52am

Aaron has an emotional plea this week in order to win back the love of a friend. The lead singer of Cabin Fever’s favourite band, The Tastydactyls, needs to be told just how much we love him. In a heterosexual way (mostly). Of course, we have the usual talk of Koala bears, complicated chainsaw suicide, and Jason Patrick. But mostly it’s about man-love. As always, there is music thrown in to break up the sexual tension.

Cabin Fever #30: Oration Sensation

Posted Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at 1:38am

In a shock to everyone’s system, the boys return for the second week in a row. This week they tackle such serious and pressing issues as teen pregnancy, racism, and 5 foot tall bronze enemas. You wouldn’t have it any other way. To keep your toes tapping, Marner Brown and The MattLees Band play some dulcet tones…

Cabin Fever #29: Along Came A Spider

Posted Friday, July 4th, 2008 at 1:41am

Brian has recovered from his dose of ebola and returns to help Aaron produce probably our geekiest episode yet. And that’s saying something. The Cabin boys discuss missing feet, life on Mars, the word “flabbergast”, and all things arachnid. To keep your toes tapping we have music from The Tender Box, MGMT, The Smiths, and Michael Buble… That’s right - The Buble opens this shizzle. Press Play… Now.

Cabin Fever #28: Lisbon Mots

Posted Thursday, June 19th, 2008 at 5:22am

With our duo deep in the grips of Euro 2008 fever (Spain FTW!!!), they attempt to pull themselves away from the TV long enough to talk about such non-football related things as sex-crazed lesbian vampires, the best and worst bits of the new Gladiators show, which dead animals Brian would and wouldn’t eat, OCD pigs, plus some advice on where not to hide one’s heroin stash. They are joined once again by their household name soap star friend, Mr. Ian Cooke, who performs Google duties throughout…

Cabin Fever #27: Let’s Get Wet

Posted Thursday, June 12th, 2008 at 0:00am

Do you remember Wet Wet Wet? No? We do. And we remembered them about 2 minutes before we started to record this show, which unfortunately led to us babbling on about them for a long time. We do have a lot of the regular stuff for you though. Stories about free airplanes, innuendo ridden nails in the head, and the good news that we can be your financial managers. And Wet Wet Wet. I can’t stress enough how much Marti Pellow is involved. Chef Joel (creator of the Snydewich) was wonderful enough to create a splendor for us too. Plus, a bonus episode!

Cabin Fever #26: Twenty-Six, We Hardly Knew Ye

Posted Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 at 19:42pm

Cabin Fever 26 was the greatest episode the guys have ever recorded. It had thrills, chills, and enough laughs to fill the stomachs of 7 small elephants. They discussed POLICE ACADEMY, the questionable nature of The Brady Bunch family life, plus they finally started their long awaited Cúpla Focal As Yiddish segment. Unfortunately, due to a technical error (Aaron spilled coffee on the mixer), the entire show was lost to the darkness, never to be heard by mortal ears. So instead, two days later, the disheartened duo threw together the piece of crap you’re about to download. Try not to be too disappointed, folks…

Cabin Fever #25: If At First You Don’t Succeed

Posted Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 at 23:55pm

Our demented duo return after a short hiatus and, due to rustiness, the episode gets off to the worst of starts - mics aren’t switched on, audio is lost, and everything that can go wrong does until take 3. Undaunted, they manage to squeeze out an hour of infotainment regarding 13-year old geniuses, incarcerated donkeys, and the diplomatic power of Hello Kitty. All this, and they also manage a second installment of the much-lauded “taste test” segment, focusing this time on the almost mythical wax candy: Nik-L-Nips…

Cabin Fever #24: Brand Spanking New

Posted Saturday, May 17th, 2008 at 4:11am

Aaron and Brian finally get back on track. With their shiny new equipment arriving, they start recording a brand spanking new episode, their first in nearly a month. Australians, mummies, dragon cartoons, the Champions League Final, the awesomesauce(TM) that is Father Ted and other assorted unimportant subjects get the usual treatment, as well as other crap that is unfit for community radio. It feels good to be back!

Cabin Fever #23: Are You There Ken? It’s Me, Brian.

Posted Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 at 3:32am

While the boys are waiting for their shiny new recording equipment to arrive they have a chat with Quick Stop Duck-In-Charge Mr. Ken Plume sur la telephone. There’s not much in the way of preparation or content but plenty in the way of innuendo. The Cabin Fever romance continues unabated and also unrequited while Aaron admits his desire to dress-up for the camera. This one is perfect for anyone with a short attention span…

Cabin Fever #22: Tear-away Three-Way

Posted Friday, May 2nd, 2008 at 1:07am

With the guys getting kicked out of their regular recording haunt, they are forced to resort to more unorthodox methods. So while they await their shiny new recording equipment to arrive from overseas, they take part in a far-less-kinky-than-it-sounds three-way with Quick Stop head honcho Ken Plume. Economic downturns are discussed, as are Brian’s smelly house pants…

Cabin Fever #21: WE CAN DRINK, MUH-FUHKAHS!!!

Posted Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 at 18:57pm

Our Undynamic duo celebrate their eventual march into adulthood with a rather low-key affair. They discuss their mutual sexual desire, what a biscuit must do to avoid cake tax, accident-prone elevator frequenters, their mutual sexual desire, Tasmin Archer, double-barrel penii, their mutual sexual desire, JC Chasez, their technical idiocy, Aaron’s love of deepthroat and the side-effects thereof, Vampirella, and at least a dozen unrelated subjects. Joel Moss & JC Chasez provide some much-needed musical interludes…

Cabin Fever #20: The Tasty Test

Posted Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 at 20:23pm

Aaron’s luggage arrives home safe and sound from Texas, almost as if t’were made of sapient pearwood. As a result our dynamic duo get a first listen of the CD-shaped sex wee that is Waking The Giants, the new album from their favourite band, The Tastydactyls. In keeping with the tasty theme, they take their first tentative steps into the world of Slim Jims, Beef Jerky, and other assorted edible bodily waste while on air, in order to preserve their reactions so that they may be studied long after they have succumbed to food poisoning…

Cabin Fever #19: Homecoming

Posted Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 at 21:39pm

Aaron returns to Irish shores to find The Rev huddled in a corner of the studio, crying and unwashed. After a few hours of snuggling and reassurances that he’ll never leave again, the two guys get down to the regular business of spouting nonsense. They discuss the plight of atomic suicidal deer and how they pertain to M. Night Shyamalan’s latest effort, A’Tuin the tortoise’s 40-a-day smoking habit, vaginal appendix extraction, suicide robots, and another thrilling installment of “You Put What Where?!” There’s also some good music from Jayk, Marner Brown and Friday Night Lights…

Cabin Fever #18: Use Your Delusion II

Posted Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 19:44pm

As if his abandonment issues weren’t bad enough, Brian was left to fend for himself this week. And so, along with guest-host Shona Conway, he went out the night before in order to drown his sorrows. The following 40-minutes are a result of their shared hangovers. Expect bile to be spat about sexuality, nakedness, transsexualism, novelty panties, fight-starting lesbians and fish tacos. Also, there’s a belt of something awkward in some poor unfortunate’s hair for good measure…

Cabin Fever #17: Use Your Delusion I

Posted Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 0:05am

Aaron arrives in Texas and decides to take the opportunity by the hairy ones and do a show sans-Brian. Old friends of the show, The Tastydactyls, hang out with some of their buddies and things get a little messy. There’s talk of state-shaped breakfast, bear suits, and the ability to hypnotize free money out of shops. Despite the fact that we had several musicians in the studio, we have a song from guys who weren’t there - Veloura. Keep an ear out for another Cabin Fever competition to win a free CD and come back real soon for Brian’s response to Aaron’s absence.

Cabin Fever #16: To Be Sure

Posted Monday, March 17th, 2008 at 22:02pm

Recorded on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day, also known around the world as drinking day, our not-so-dynamic duo are both hungover and in the mood for mischief. They take on the task of bringing news of a… private matter from around the world, while also settling some scores with young upstarts trying to move in on their turf. Don’t understand? Listen on. You’ll also have the pleasure of listening to music from Insane Ian B, The Impersonals, and a return of Joel Moss. Don’t forget our “Cabin Fever: Clothe Us” competition - check the forum for details. Top o’ the mornin’ to ye!

Cabin Fever #15: I’m Ramblin’

Posted Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 at 17:05pm

Thankfully, the boys had enough time to record this week, despite technoheads taking up their studio time. This week there’s a lot of talk about relieving yourself on trains in India, your own pants, and numerous other places. Nothing new there, then. Aaron breaks some geek rules and isn’t too sure if he’s done the right thing, while Brian strips off within the first 5 minutes. Good times! We have the first ever Cabin Fever Competition (check the forum for rules and conditions) and music from Joel Moss, Caleb Lee and Tobacco Road. And the show is free! What more could you ask for? Huh!?

Cabin Fever #14: Peck’s Curse

Posted Monday, March 3rd, 2008 at 22:37pm

This week, our intrepid heroes experience that most Irish of phenomenona - Murphy’s Law. What can go tits up, does this week - be it song intro rambling or an interruption from The Duck Upstairs. They discuss lurking pythons, vampiric tax men, and explain how homosexuality causes earthquakes… all the while waiting for the sky to fall. If music doth sooth the savage beast, then… er… they have good music. Tim Cameron and “CJ” provide some awesome audio entertainment, and there’s a world exclusive of The Tastydactyls awesomesauce new single. Enjoy, and please refrain from breaking any mirrors…

Cabin Fever #13: Brian Loves Josh Peck

Posted Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 1:55am

This week’s show is a little bit crazy. Aaron decides to take over musical duties, resulting in the rocking of the cheapest instrument ever. You can stop the madness by sending your songs or getting in touch on our myspace page (myspace.com/cabinfeverradio). Brian has to face his prejudices against the perfectly nice actor Josh Peck. This battle gets a little ugly. Needless to say, there may one day be a re-match. This one was recorded on the day of the Oscars so don’t laugh at us if we’re wrong about anything. Enjoy!

Cabin Fever #12: The World On iTunes

Posted Monday, February 25th, 2008 at 4:16am

And so we’re back from outer space. Don’t turn around now with that sad look upon your face. We can blame the delay of episode 12 purely on the fact that Aaron went on a trip to Belgium (no, he wasn’t “In Bruge”). However, we came back with a little wizzbang show containing pedophilic elephants, handlebar mustachioed air-hostesses and talk of an odd statue Aaron found on holidays. There’s music from the likes of Credit, The Bad Habits and, Jasper McVain. Good times! As always if you like what you hear, then drop us a line. We’re whores for props so feed this machine!

Cabin Fever #11: Therapize Our Speech

Posted Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 at 18:29pm

This week, the boys are joined in the studio by Ian Cooke (part-time soap opera actor, full time friend of ours). We have news of belly-button-cocaine smugglers, cousins doing it in the road, and a lot of bragging that people are actually listening to us now. Most of it is quite good, except Aaron loses the ability to talk with words that are real and making sure that he’s playing the song he’s talking about. Good times. You get music from Cheapskate, Blue Sun, The Bluetones, and a special submission of a possible Cabin Fever theme tune. Hope you enjoy!

Cabin Fever #10: From The Bowels

Posted Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 at 15:04pm

In the following hour of recording we manage to trawl the depths of good taste with conversation involving Brian’s bowel movements, our taxi-driver’s casual racism, and news of a woman found guilty of tearing a man’s scrotum from his body with her bare hands. To break up this high class entertainment, you’ll also find music from New Amusement, Joe Doyle, The Wynd, and The Tastydactyls.

Cabin Fever #09: The Hiatus Is Over

Posted Sunday, January 13th, 2008 at 14:32pm

We’re back. A new year, the same old s—. The boys had a little end of year revue and talk about some of the things that they remember about ‘07. We give some shout outs to a few peeps at QuickStopEntertainment.com and a little oath to come back a bit more regularly now that the festive (drunken) season is over. And if you don’t get some of the in-jokes… I’m sorry, we hadn’t seen each other in a while and things get out of hand. It’d take far too long to explain what we’re talking about. We just promise to get back to our normal ranting next time.

Cabin Fever #08: Talking Out Yer

Posted Sunday, December 9th, 2007 at 14:32pm

Aaron was talking out of his arse. Expect talk of Jessica Alba, Christmas presents, and gargling to the tune of Star Trek.

Cabin Fever #07: Maginificent Seven

Posted Sunday, November 11th, 2007 at 13:59pm

Kinda… We had a back log of stupid news from around the world due to our recent tardiness. So this show is a little longer than usual (or it probably should be). Hark, as we talk about drop-kicking kittens, downloading sheep, and dogs shooting people. An hour long episode of Cabin Fever? Listen at your own risk!

Cabin Fever #06: Penance Whip

Posted Monday, October 22nd, 2007 at 13:47pm

Yes, despite being about 2 weeks late, the show is here! Sound isn’t amazing, quality isn’t amazing. But you know what? It’s f—ing here! The issues with putting them up turned out to be a simple click of a button too many. Aaron will be whipped mercilessly for penance. So as long as you don’t forget that what we’re talking about happened last month, I think you might enjoy this one. Expect another show soon to make up for our tardiness.

Cabin Fever #05: A Mic Too Far

Posted Saturday, October 13th, 2007 at 13:43pm

Another installment of the giggle filled gobbledygook that is Cabin Fever. This week we wax lyrical about the idiocy of The Panel show, scrotal tears, and the glory that is the return of that beautiful piece of chocolate, Wispa. Look out for a very short cameo by our Scottish pal Bruce and marvel as Aaron talks way too close to the mic and Brian talks much too far away from it. Oh the professionalism!

Cabin Fever #04: In The Navy

Posted Tuesday, September 25th, 2007 at 13:42pm

I’m finally getting around to posting this weeks show. We recorded it in the early part of last week, with only 3 days between it and the previous recording. Hectic. This week myself and Brian chat about semen, Halo 3, and the movies coming up over the next year that are getting me excited (leading back to the first topic on the list). Hope you enjoy.

Cabin Fever #03: Where’s The Snooze Button

Posted Saturday, September 22nd, 2007 at 13:35pm

Show Three is here. We usually record our show on Sunday nights but we thought we’d try getting up at 8:30am on a Saturday morning and go to the station… It seemed like a good idea at the time… This week we have more of the same, a plethora of unrelated news and our unhinged opinions on them. Expect sex with gloves, our love of all things Affleck, and a going away party for Jose Mourinho. Pardon Aaron’s stuffed nose though. He’s still moving house and is allergic to the dust.

Cabin Fever #02: Hetero Man Crush

Posted Sunday, September 16th, 2007 at 13:29pm

Who knew they’d let us near a mic again? I celebrate every one of these we get to make. As mentioned previously this week’s show is a little more somber due to outside influences but we’re still finding our “voice”, if you will, so hopefully you can allow us these teething problems. So here it is. Drugged up Grandmothers, flaming Russians and an admission of our (totally) hetero-love for Patrick Warburton.

Cabin Fever #01: Allow Myself To Introduce Myself

Posted Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 at 12:23pm

So here it is, in all its rough and ready format. We may have worked out the kinks to getting it online, but we haven’t quite worked out the kinks to recording the thing. So expect much improved quality in the future. In the mean time though expect sexual monkeys, frisky dingoes, a plea for the head of Luke Wilson and a song to break it up in the middle. Cabin Fever Radio, Show One!
