About Into Your Head podcast | About Matchstick Cats comics Into Your Head is a unique comedy podcast from Ireland, by 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 eighteen years and 800 episodes. Yet here we are, in 2024, trying to retro-actively construct a narrative around it, like it’s the label for a micro-brewary beverage. Not to mention referring to ourselves in both the third person singular and the first person plural. *asterixes purely decorative | Get Podcast | Contact | Latest Shows Show 873: Nonetheless Wiser – Into Your Head Neal maps the future of the traditional white haired action villain, explains why governments would love to mandate toe typewriters, tries to describe a mysterious part of Dublin’s city centre using Theoretical Physics, conjures a talking cat to explain the mechanics of speaking without vocal cords, defends Edwyn Collins’ incorrect inflexions in Addidas World, relates a defining childhood moment involving a very special word, worries about toilet brush design, proposes a unifying theory for the Terminator movies, illuminates the dark side of cartoon dogs, wonders how you go about decaffeinating something, relates how bread vans triggered an ambulance phobia, remembers when the name AA1 Aardvark used to mean something and looks at tastefully rebooting Die Hard, what cats hear when we say anti disestablish mentarianism (last time I used that word without breaks in it, it broke the feed), why dog beds are nonsense, The Ant and the Aardvark, why The Animals of Farthing Wood is unsuitable for children, Jellystone and other hideous cartoon reboots, a piece of student infrastructure resembling an ancient royal litter, fines for swearing in Demolition Man (1993), schooling in the twenty-second century, the surprising logistics of walking computers and more.
