Unique solo audio comedy. When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste underachieving hobbiest humourist, socially awkward entirely unheard-of legally blind cat obsessive and husband Neal O’Carroll downs a generic energy drink, something reasonably interesting happens. There emerges a silver tongued* purveyor of comical monologues, absurd analogies, illogical yet impressively argued opinions and copious Two Cats walk into a Bar stories. Segments begin with no idea how the first sentence will end, or what topics may emerge. A ludicrious creative method inspired partly by radio’s Just a Minute. In the far future?

Neal illustrates the Mandela Effect phenomenom using Status Quo’s discography, reevaluates Popeye, changes your mind about socks and discusses what we know about helicoptors, how elevators should work, a clever trick for locating a cordless phone with ham, why holes in food are useful, why the sausage thing last time was a bit much, defining the face’s perimeter, the trouble with peeling, why boiled sweets and gum are superfoods, a new way to think about litter, an itch no McDonalds breakfast can scratch and more.

Everybody look, what’s going down?” I knew it had t be something along those lines.
