Episode 35: A Hollow Ball of Pure Intelligence (with guest Neil Casey)

There’s a congressional hearing on UFOs! Tony finds UFO speculation endlessly fascinating. But sadly, try as he might, he cannot get Johnny on board. The circular logistics required to maintain such discussions feel tedious to him. Tony cannot hide his disappointment. They do a Contact-esque scene that would make Carl Sagan feel embarrassed. And then, Neil Casey jets in out of the clear blue sky to add his own theories about the mysterious flying objects! It’s one of those discussions that sounds reasonable, at the beginning, and then makes progressively less sense as it goes along. They recount the glory days of their old improv team, the strange customs that Tony and Neil shared when they were roommates, and Neil’s aerobatics training…because Neil is a pilot who owns a plane! This episode is very flying-through-the-air-ish, I guess.
