John Healey

John is an enigma. His language is... unusual. He never calls anyone by their given name, using either an acronym, or a nickname that he has created. John likes to drink... a lot.

Chat in the Hat and John seemed to be a natural fit. The sound of his voice is melodic - to himself - and the hosts were running low on guest chatters.

Colin first met John in a bar - and like most people - couldn't understand what he was saying. As years drifted by and their friendship grew, he began to understand the slang that John used - and appreciated it as part of a unique one person culture.

As John continues to evolve, taking a 9-5 job that has him working 7-10, changing "nights out at a bar" to "dinner parties" with friends, has a wife and child on the way - his speech remains stuck in the 1990s.

Now John has an opportunity to share his language with the world - and there is no doubt that soon everyone will be calling each other by the initials of their names.
