I submit my description of the podcast in the form of a haiku.
two friends crack open
their craniums to tell us
what is on their minds
Warning, I have multiple entries:
“Sneaky Dragon: Discourse done dirty
With dozens of digressions and dollops of Dedricks.
The dance party’s in the den.”
“Sneaky Dragon: Two guys talk about any and everything for an hour, but it’s better than it sounds.”
“Sneaky Dragon: Come for the deep dives on the Beatles and Tintin; stay for the latest news about the chickens.”
In other news, I’m honestly a little shocked that Dave prefers Infinity War to Endgame. He’s entitled to his opinion, but I thought it was the worst MCU movie I’ve seen, with the possible exception of Doctor Strange. It was boring. The only part I liked was the ending.
Cheers!
Well, I haven’t listened to the episode but I hear you are having a contest, so here’s my kick at the can:
Sneaky Dragon: a podcast that trips the mundane fantastic, presented in stereophonic aural contrast ranging from blind conviction to Anschauung on all topics great and small. Come enjoy the levity behind the violence; also features chickens.
I don’t have my 30 word description yet, BUT David, when you hollered “A four-twelve??? WHAT’S A FOUR-TWELVE!!!” I was so delighted and remain so, thinking that line and the response over and over in my head all this week. My granddad had that Stan Freberg bit on a mixed comedy LP back in the 60’s. We wore that thing OUT! Another Freberg bit was a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Hilarious! There were a couple of old Andy Griffith stories (“What it Was Was Football” was one) and great pieces by Yogi Yorgesson, Harry Kari, and Johnny Standley who sings about Grandma’s lye soap as if in an old time tent revival meeting. Some of this comedy may not hold up now (ie the Harry Kari Asian accented stuff) but much of it does and is still soooooo great! So, thanks, David for that joyful little memory!
AND about that hotdog list: it was pretty thorough, but was missing what is called here in northwestern North Carolina a hotdog “all the way”. This is a hot dog with chili, cole slaw, chopped onions and, maybe mustard, which would probably be the best part for YOU, David! Thanks, Ian and David! Now I’d best get back to my 30 word description!
Well, if haiku’s taken, guess I’ll have to go lowbrow with a limerick…
this podcast comes out of vancouver
