Into Your Head

…

Neal O Carroll

When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste hobbiest humourist, socially awkward practically unheard-of legally blind cat obsessed* underachiever and husband Neal O’Carroll ingests a perfectly ordinary consumer-grade generic energy drink, something 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. Each segment starts with no idea how the first sentence will end or what topics may emerge. It’s a ludicrious creative non-method inspired partly by classic BBC panel show Just a Minute, praticed and honed over 18 years and 800 episodes. Yet here we are, in 2024, trying to retro-actively justify it narratively. *asterixes purely decorative Into Your Head is a one-of-a-kind comedy podcast creation by Neal from Ireland.

814: An Itch no McBreakfast can Scratch

Neal illustrates the Mandela Effect phenomenum 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. Then concludes with some helpful orientation for the recent influx of new listeners, assuming they use the same bus route. CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS: The song I mentioned with incorrect tune and incorrect lyric “There’s something going on (repeat ad nauseum)” in fact goes “…stop Children, what’s that sound? Everybody look, what’s going down?” I knew it must be something along those lines.
