Sneaky Dragon Episode 220

Happy birthday, Sneakers!!! To Dave, that is.

For this week’s show, Dave’s wife Lezah and Ian put together a surprise party for Dave and invited lots of friends of the show to drop by so we have lots of guests this week. Visits from Jason Dedrick, Kathleen Gros, Louise Moon, Mike Roberds, Pia Guerra, Vicki Van, Lezah Williamson, Mary Dedrick, David Fine, Allison Snowden and a brief cameo by Eve Dedrick leads to dub step; gambling problems, mixed-up dates; web cartoonist tips; ranking the Look Who’s Talking movies; generation gaps; gifts for Dave; Dave-centric entertainment recommendations; White Noise; auditioning; Mike Roberds CKNW show; lady names in comics; best kids show; Deadpool; evil, repressive movie ratings systems; double standards; Dave’s Aerio story; suntans; animation; Oscar talk; and, finally, a big Happy Birthday sing-along for Dave!

Dave would like to thank everyone who was able to make it down to join in the pizza and fun. And a big thanks for the wonderful presents.
