Somehow Related with Dave O'Neil & Glenn Robbins

Nearly Mediawww.nearly.com.au

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 Media.

Outer Space and Steak

Warning - there are descriptions of rocket shapes, raw meat and food at scouts. Literally out of this world and out of flavour that's out of this world (if you like a steak).
