Hey, Hi…

Sneaky world…

The more you two talk about comics, movies and music, the more I write in about it. So if you want to hear more from me, talk about that stuff. Something I don’t like you two talking about is putting some goddamned pie into a milkshake….all other food talk is on brand and interesting unless I’m hungry. Even if it’s disagreeable to Ian, like drinking cereal milk from a bowl.
I was pretty damned good at drawing at a very early age, probably around 15 or so. I made some pretty good cash drawing everything and anything for friends, relatives and my parents co-workers/friends. One of my Dad’s co-workers collected classic cars and paid me handsomely to draw all of them, my Dad said, “Listen, if he can pay for those cars he can pay you what you want to draw them.” The down side was I never made any reproductions of the art, it was before the time of color copiers and smartphone cameras. Recently my Dad was invited to this co-worker’s home and saw all my car illustrations I did years ago framed on his wall! Dad did me a favor and photographed them all for me, I didn’t realize how many I had drawn for him. Now I do it for a living, so I guess drawing for friends was a sound investment towards my future.
Can’t wait to hear the Mighty 700!!
PS: I was half-way through cleaning my bathroom when you read my letter on the podcast last week, did I call it or what?
Although it doesn’t happen every episode, I like when you guys talk about contemporary music. Some examples I can remember off the dome are when Dave mentioned Rewind by Rosali or when Ian recommended About Damn Time by Lizzo. I agree with Dave that Red Wine Supernova is one of Chappell Roan’s best songs.
Have either of you listened to SZA’s latest LANA? If there’s ever a question of the week for “what’s your favourite quadruple album”, that would be my answer.
I also like when you guys talk about anything Canadian. I’m expecting a deep dive on the election.
Misters Dedrick and Boothby,
On this, the honourable occasion of your 700th casting of pod,
may it be noted in the records
that your esteemed listenership from near, far and foreign lands
deem ye both sirs
to be of excellent character
and virtuous voice.
And may it be further noted
that the minds, hearts and ears
of said listeners
are now and forever grateful
for the longstanding and ongoing
streaming of your consciousnesses
and topical popping of culture
for their entertainment and enlightenment.
May you now and forever more
speak lengthily and without structure nor editorial impediment
of such matters and topics including but not limited to
candy, cats, chickens and chocolate bars;
cinematic visitations past and present;
travels and tribulations;
bands and bandwagons.
For you are dragons of the sneakiest order.
As it was and as it shall always be.
For this,
we thank you.
Congratulations on making it to Sneaky Dragon episode Seven Double-Oh! I enjoy hearing you talk about current events, both public and personal, and getting your takes on both the trivial and important aspects of life. It’s great when you give recommendations for shows or movies or books or podcasts that I wouldn’t have otherwise sought out on my own. It’s good to broaden one’s pop culture horizons. I also like hearing from all the other Sneakers out there and finding out what’s going on in their part of the world so thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences.
