Somehow Related with Dave O'Neil & Glenn Robbins
Comedians Glenn Robbins and Dave O’Neil are given two seemingly random topics. Together they have to work out how these very different things are SOMEHOW RELATED. What is the connection between Nazis and Fanta? Napoleon and Kangaroos? JFK and corsets? They are all Somehow Related. Produced by Nearly, a podcast network.

They're both cold?
Unlike the Australian summer that we're currently going through, that has also taken Glenn and Dave away from the studio.
Here's a pre-pandemic, corona-free, had-never-even-heard-of-Covid episode that's delightfully considerate of other issues facing the world or nearby footpath.
Enjoy!

88 keys and two wheels with an internal combustion motor?

I think Sam's dropped in a nod to Dave and Kitty's pronunciation of 'nachos', which you'll recognise if you listen to The Junkess.
Drought and Yo Yos are similar in that they're both widely and not so widely known for each having a distinct lack of moisture.
But somewhere, and somehow, in history they share a story that's rather unbelieveable.
Remember Edwin Maher?
Could be anything!
Pretty wide pitch there from Sam. Add a run to that over, will you?
But she's good. It makes sense if you know it.
You can count on her to use some swing when she's throwing topics any which way early on.

Cambridge in 1209 AD. Aztecs started in the 1400s, done by the 1500s.

A bloody long time after.
But what gets Australia's own football game and a bloody good university together?
