I think your podcast title should reflect your genetic background as two really white guys so I’m going with “The Wisecrackers.”
How about these?
“The Loquacious Lads of Vancouver”
“ChattyCasty”
“Verbosely Vancouver”
Actually I don’t know…I usually hire a copywriter for this stuff. I am curious where you guys got the name Sneaky Dragon though. Has the tale ever been told?
As for heritage and family backgrounds, my Father and my Uncle have done exhaustive genealogy for our family as well as many others, its borderline professional grade work since it’s all they both do since they’ve retired. However, my name Draganski is not my own since generations back my Great, Great Grandfather was adopted by the Draganskis. His name was Gottfried and was left on the doorstep of the Draganski Family, who were simple fishermen. Gottfried was obviously of Germanic blood due to his height and pale eyes, an adopted baby with no last name. I’m told that this was common throughout the bordered regions of Europe, in my case Poland and Germany. Other than that, I’m half Italian, one quarter German and One Quarter Lithuanian or as my Grandmother used to call me, “A League of Nations Baby.” Just to be certain, we also did the thing where we spit in the tube and sent it in and just as I suspected, I’m nothing more than a Euro-Mutt…
I like the extremely hostile impression of me that makes me sound like an angry off-camera boss.
I told Ian this ages ago, but because of the “dragon” in its name and the fact that Ian started doing a D&D improv show around the same time Sneaky Dragon launched (I think?), my brain mashed the two projects together and I mistakenly thought Sneaky Dragon was a D&D podcast. I had no interest in D&D back then so I didn’t check it out. When I realized my mistake, I started listening and also listened to all of the episodes I missed (I think you guys had been at it for a year at that point). (I’ve since also seen Critical Hit and played D&D a few times.)
Coming up with a name for a “two guys talk about whatever” podcast is tough! I think most of them use non-sequitur names, but here are my suggestions:
“Bull Shooters”
“The Weird Kids You Knew In School” (this would probably apply to many of your guests too because we tend to be artsy and/or nerdy types)
“We Digress”
“The Incredible Three-Dog Man and Friend”
I’m pretty sure I’m 100% Japanese but you never know. I wouldn’t mind trying 23 And Me. I’d like to get tested the same time as my very white boyfriend.
The Incredible Three-Dog Man and Friend is the new name of the show. Dave, change the letterhead!
