Cabin Fever is the result of two geeks with too much time on their hands, broadcasting from Dublin, Ireland. Expect bizarre news stories, gross humour, endless pop-culture references, and a little bit of music thrown in to break up the tedium.
Aaron Poole and Brian Fitzpatrick
Brian and Aaron return for another Christmas special to talk about... Well, pretty much everything other than Christmas. Expect Star Wars, Ant-Man, Twitter, and more.
Aaron and Brian return for a Christmas miracle and record a podcast for their loyal 5 listeners who message them every now and then asking if we'll ever do another one. They talk about Morrissey, Police Academy, and Buffalo. Music (as always) provided by The Tastydactyls, because it wouldn't be the same otherwise.
It wouldn't be a Cabin Fever episode without some technical difficulties so we decided to start the show with some vintage us. From there we roll into some crazy sexy cool talk and then the return of one of our most popular segments: The Taste Test! This time we get to try some delicacies from Utah.
After last week's episode our cabin boys went off on a mini 90s nostalgia odyssey, as is their wont. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your point of view) the nonsense was recorded, and since Aaron is away watching football and drinking his bodyweight in cider over in Poland, you get this in lieu of a proper episode. You're welcome/We're sorry.
Aaron and pHitzy start off trying to make a proper episode, but get sidetracked early on this week as they recall their mutual crush on a particular pocket-sized songstress. Lots of bad singing and pining ensues. You have been warned.
The cabin dwellers go for a low-key episode this week, filled with idle banter about hipsters, social media, Instagram and horse c***. It's all very pleasant and understated... the episode, you understand, not the horse c***.
This week the cabin dwellers are joined by their favourite hunk of man meat - the one, the only... Blake James Rawlings! They chat, they laugh, they swoon, and then they swoon some more. Music is provided by Blake's awesome new band, Brothers Or Not.
This week the lads discuss a comparison made by their good friend JJ Hawkins, wondering if they really are "The Ramones of podcasting", Aaron gets introduced to the wonder that is Terry Crews' Old Spice adverts, and the two marvel at the act of sponge-eating. Music this week is provided by Aaron's band from another dimension, The Outline.
The boys try to recuperate after St. Patrick's day with tales of strange calls and query the kids of today. Seriously, we sound like old men at certain points. Also old women, but that's another story entirely.
Our cabin dwellers settle down to watch some football and have a conversation about Muppets, rhino horns, and giraffe tongues. It all gets very Dr. Doolittle. Music is provided by the awesome Brothers Or Not, fronted by friend of the show and sexy beast Blake Rawlings.
Double A and The Rev spend a chilled Saturday afternoon discussing the Grammys, celebrity marriage, the hotness of Goldie Hawn, and pHitzy goes on a rant about his hatred for The Walking Dead.
Aaron returns from his trip to Disneyland Paris and finds that not everything is quite so magic at Le Royaume Magique. This reminds pHitzy of all the lamer aspects of spending the summer in NYC, and the two cabin boys piss and moan ad nauseam. Misery loves company, and podcasting apparently.
What? We have to do this crap every week? It's easy to forget just how much of a pain this podcasting lark is. After a brief Royal Rumble celebration, our cabin dwellers get stuck into a slew of strange stories from around the world. Along the way they discuss the poetic verse of HOVA, Craig List faux pas, The Rev's status as a sex object in the gay community, and lots more nonsense that you have come to expect from two barely educated Irish lads. Seriously, pHitzy can't count past the number twelve, and I'm pretty sure Aaron is just straight up illiterate.
After a long hiatus, nobody's favourite podcast returns with another line-up change... *drumroll*.
In this week's episode Wird explains the ins and outs of a celebrity death pool, Cin keeps himself busy with some leftover rum, and pHitzy does his best not to crawl into the fetal position and cry due to a wicked, wicked hangover. Oh, and keep your ears open at the end for a wee ditty from Fred's own Tom Harrington.
Ghosts! Chicken Balls! Birdemic! Pizza! Bieber Fever! All this and more can be heard discussed in this rather ADD addled episode. The fact that two thirds of our cabin dwellers are slightly inebriated probably doesn't help matters, but it makes for some interesting listening.
After a long hiatus, Cabin Fever finally returns to brighten up your dull little lives.
DragonCon came and went and took our will to live with it. For Aaron's last episode he rallies his friends to send him off. Brian relives some awkward memories but that shouldn't stop him from recording the next episode with his new co-hosts. Music this week is provided by... us!
Aaron and Brian try to catch up on some things they've been meaning to do for the last 99 podcasts, movies and comics are discussed (big shocker there), and Aaron makes an announcement. Music is provided by Cutting Shapes.
There are men on this week's podcast. Manly men. Talking about manly things. In fact, there is so much manliness I can't finish this introduction for fear that I'd be talking too much... like a woman...
Everyone's favourite cabin dwellers discuss the finer points of this summer's South African football fiesta, from the vuvuzela phenomenon, to the controversy over the new ball. They also mull over the newest batch of housemates on Big Brother, which begins its final season.
Listen to all these amazing things: Toilet brushes, throwing up, questions, jocks, monkeys. It's a party in your ears! Join us, why don't you...
Aaron and Brian have a quick chat about LOST, a short mention of Dio, and then a very long rant about TWILIGHT. Feel the hatred.
Aaron and Brian take a dive into listener submitted news stories and manage to unearth a couple of gems among the dirt infested puss bags. Songs are shared and personal gripes aired. But the episodes from 2008 were probably better...
Aaron and Brian return to rock you like a hurricane, or at the very least a mild wind. A taste test is approached with caution, some movies discussed and a general catch-up on what the last couple of weeks have contained. It's hard sometimes to write these. 93 episodes though, that's amazing. I remember back in 2008 when...
Brian and Aaron discuss absinthe and its effects. Then, after diving into listener mail, they get to bring you tales of head wounds, head wounds, and head games. Marvel as they actually talk from the same room.
This week it's Aaron's turn to sit one out due to internet retardation. Hosting duties fall to the Rev. pHitzy pHitzpatrick, and he is joined by his favourite cabin boys - Instant Leftovers' Colin, and Mike and Kasey from Riding in Cars With Boys. They discuss the culinary delights of KFC, paedophile 'staches, and the greatest unfinished movie of all time.
I'm Aaron Poole and you're listening to a bit of a chat with me, Aaron Poole, and my friends JJ Hawkins and Chuck Metcalf. In this episode of Cabin Fever, with me Aaron Poole, I talk to my friends about comic books and comic books. I'm Aaron Poole, and I hope you enjoy this podcast with me, Aaron Poole.
Aaron, alone due to Brian caring about his future, is left to find a guest host this week. So, he digs up sexy man JJ Hawkins from Mars Needs Podcasts fame. Together they talk through listener mail and wax philosophical about possible life and comic books.
Aaron and Brian try to keep their relationship fresh despite their current long distance status by providing another healthy Skype installment, where they spice their love-life up with porn, food, and slavery. The 3 main ingredients for a healthy relationship. Music is provided by Coopers Rage.
This week, Brian and Aaron are joined by the puppet master Ken Plume. He manages to pull the strings and direct conversation through fairy museums, movies, and harmonica dueling. Music is provided by the sexiest band on earth, Le Sexoflex, and the most illegal Los Fahina.
In this week's cast the boys talk about miraculous births, AVATAR - along with other money earners - politics, and more such nonsense. Music this week is provided by Los Fahina.
Aaron and Brian go through their Top 10 albums of the last 10 years. Stories are shared and conspiracies dissected as they try to figure out why some bands went bad and why others just keep getting better. Super bonus extra long episode!
Aaron and Brian return from their winter holiday to... complain about their winter holiday. It's the first episode of Cabin Fever in the era of FRED but unfortunately it's the same old rubbish you've come to expect.
To get you in the festive spirit, the Irish duo delve into a film not nearly as known on their side of the water, A CHRISTMAS STORY. Aaron bucks popular opinion in an attempt to point out one or two flaws in the film while Brian just bursts with delight over what he considers a gem. Hat love is evident throughout.
The boys discuss inappropriate emails (both their own and a listener's), Christmas movies, and Mickey Bubble. Lots and lots of Mickey Bubble.
Brian and Aaron are joined this week by their friend Ian. They get to lark about once again with sound effects, wonder what's real and what isn't while figuring out what country to complain about this time. Music is provided by show stalwarts The Tastydactyls.
The Cabin boys try to discuss podcasting but end up scaring themselves with talk of absolutely nothing. Seriously, none of this makes sense. Aaron cries, Brian feels queasy and you the listener will just feel confused. Or angry. We don't know yet.
This week the Cabin boys discuss sport, celebrity, and drugs. They do not, however, discuss a celebrity sports star who uses drugs. Music provided by AudioMohel.
Cabin Fever's Aaron Poole and Brian Fitzpatrick take a slightly skewed look at FERRIS BEULLER'S DAY OFF, and ask the important questions such as "Was Ferris a Crip or Blood?" and "what's the deal with Jeanie Beuller?".
To celebrate the spooky season, Brian gives us a run down of all the different flicks he caught during the recent scary film festival in Dublin. while Aaron listens intently and admits he doesn't really like horror films. Pretentiousness follows.
Both Brian and Aaron tell tales of hard liquor and regret while regaling you with the details of our typical news oddities. Two weeks in a row! Not bad eh?
Our cabin dwellers return after Aaron's adventures at DragonCon to discuss more weird and wonderful stuff from around the world, plus lots of other piddling crap I wouldn't touch with a ten foot clown pole. Enjoy! Music is by The Temper Trap.
Aaron was at DragonCon alone and had to find a guest host to replace Brian for this week. Realising 1 person could not fill Brian's shoes, he enlists a mini podcast army. Zac and Weller from Misinformation plus JJ and Jason from Mars Need Podcasts come together in a supersize team-up bonanza. They discuss DragonPros and cons and identity issues. Music provided by Le Sexoflex.
The guys discuss all things musical, including more Beatles chat, amongst other stuff... and things. Apologies for the continuing (and frankly baffling) sound problems. We're working on it, we swear!
The boys spend the first half of the show discussing wedding bands, The Beatles, and recent movie releases, and the second half being befuddled by listener-sent news stories. Just a typical Cabin Fever episode, really. Music provided this week by the excellent Chubb Rock and Wordsmith.
The Cabin Fever crew get together in one big celebration of love and booze in order to welcome a pair of their ancient celtic brethren in the form of Scottish listeners Gordon and Louise. Do they make it through the cast in one piece? Will you? There is only one way to find out. Play on.
The mixer is here, the boys have fun with all it has to offer and discuss a plethora of things which are probably too rude to mention here. They also announce the next Movie Club movie and tease you with something to come.
If it wasn't for Skype this show would have gone missing again. Crazy schedules and long distances have been playing havoc with the Cabin boys but they do what they can to get a show to you, the beloved listener. Finally the Cannibal: The Musical movie club review arrives, be-it messy and awkward. Business is dealt with and songs are played. Thanks to Red Queen Hypothesis for playing us out.
While Aaron and Brian meet up to record their first show in over two weeks, they're not satisfied in just talking to each other, so they invite two listeners to join the soiree via Skype. Meet Scott and Albert as they discuss tasteless jokes, abuse folk during their technical difficulties, and wax cinema. Blindfold Garden play out the proceedings.
As always, things never seem to go according to plan for the Cabin Crew, and this week's hope that the new mixer would arrive is dashed by a threat to national security. To try and make it up to you (and also to help us out of a jam), JJ Hawkins guests with Aaron to discuss... Well, lots of stuff. This week they're played out by Song Fu competitor Caleb Lee.
