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 851: The Keyboardist, the Judge and the Stenographer – Into Your Head Neal discusses demystifying Road Runners and Coyotes, a very bad use of a Maigret paperback, saving a Genesis keyboarist from jury duty, court stenographers versus keyboard players, flying baggage trucks and beyond, commuting on part of Ernest Shackleton's Polar route, Indian Saints who don't eat, pressures that come with switchng to cordials, driving in a cul-de-sac, looped video GIF labels on dashboards buttons, an unlamented childhood bicycle, red rock backdrops, wondering about tuna size, Heston Blumenthol's peas, bussing in Boston, in defence of lifelong non-flyers, oldschool business letters, palacial banks and inward facing malls, dumping fuel on a swimmer, the case for dummy controls on every airline seat, why wheels are natural, pelican verse, life at a polar science base, walking in high winds or zero atmosphere, inadvertently anticipating a 199th birthday, transmitting messages to the future, Back to the Future Part III (1990), a prime example of the pefect segment, admiring the French word for usable, a year-long school screening of Mississippi Burning (1988), atlas bleedthrough, the proposed global highway, podcasters who think they're Aerosmith, dealing with Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, The Faces and their faces, whether Spinal Tap always looked like that and more.
