Dragon-Snuck

Dragon, Dragon, Dragon, Dragon
Dragon, Dragon, Dragon, Dragon
Dragon, Dragon

I was fraught
In the middle of a snack attack (dragon)
I looked ’round
And I knew there was no Big Mac (dragon)
My kind faced
And I thought, what could I stew? (dragon)
And I knew
There was no Yelp, no Yelp review (dragon)
Start of ordering online
Seating up my instacart
The dragon of buns
Before we start
You’ve been
Dragon-Snuck

Sliced down the old way
Poach the eggs, we split the crown
We went through Texas toast and we had a ton
Ice cream with swirls
Some treats with too much lime
Ignored all the dates
Layered all the cakes
Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our diets
I was shaking at the toilet
Could I eat again, please?
Yeah, the ladles we were to find
You’ve been
Dragon-Snuck, Dragon-Snuck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dragon-Snuck
Ooh, Dragon-Snuck, yeah

I was shaking at the toilet
Could I eat again, please? Oh.

Dragon-Snuck, Dragon-Snuck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dragon-Snuck, Dragon-Snuck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, said, yeah, it’s alright, we’re doin’ fine
Dragon-Snuck, You’ve been Dragon-Snuck

Louise was kind enough to send along this artful shot of Pirate Paks ready to sail on Pirate Pak Day at White Spot.

Here are the lyrics for Thomas’ wonderful rewrite of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”:

We didn’t sneak the dragon
It’s been blastin’
Since the pods been castin’
We didn’t sneak the dragon
No, we didn’t dream it
We just tried to stream it

Sydney Sweeney, Emma Stone, Jane Austen
How bout that dude from Van Halen
Tintin, we have a new Clark Kent
Dollop of Trallope, chick talk
Don’t say Dave looks like Stephen King
Obama, first black president
Maybe even some light deck talk
Covid vaccine, England’s got a new King

We didn’t sneak the dragon
It’s been blastin’
Since the pods been castin’
We didn’t sneak the dragon
No, we didn’t dream it
We just tried to stream it

Milk, eggs, pancake mix
Honey ham and whole wheat bread
Fruity pebbles and the trix
Frozen broccoli, coffee

We didn’t buy the groceries
Now we got nothin’
Just that green mutton

Compleatin’ da Beatles, mysterious horses
Ian knows too much Mario bros. lore
Refreshing memories and listening parties
Fake news– can’t trust your sources
Anora wins, what a snore
Murphy cat, which are better smarties

We didn’t sneak the dragon
It’s been blastin’
Since the pods been castin’
We didn’t sneak the dragon
No, we didn’t dream it
We just tried to stream it

KC’s got a winning team, Solomon Lane
Chris Pine spat on, Nintendo switch
Fansplainers– yes we want some more
Marx bros., Russians in the Ukraine
Ian leaves to make a sandwich
Dave’s throat is getting sore

We didn’t sneak the dragon
It’s been blastin’
Since the pods been castin’
We didn’t sneak the dragon
No, we didn’t dream it
We just tried to stream it

Dark Shadows, R.I.P Hulk Hogan
Andrew Garfield swings on webs again
Let’s all forget Joe Rogan
Donald Trump is prez again
Stephen Colbert going away
What else do I have to say

You’ll never stop the sneakin’
Have no fears
They’ve got dragon tales for years
Like maybe Dave has a rash
Or Ian smokes some hash
We didn’t sneak the dragon
It’s been blastin’
Since the pods been castin’

Horse Mysteries big wig, Lezah Williamson, and Listening Party/Fansplainers MVP Mary Dedrick are a couple of good sports and gamely go through a list of topics drawn from Sneaky Dragon Episode 700.

Thanks for listening.

Gather ‘round Sneakers as the Refresh My Memory hosts cast their memories back a day to Sneaky Dragon’s 700th episode and try to do an episode of their own on some of the same topics. Will it be as good? They guarantee it will be shorter.

Eric Fell, Jason Dedrick and Vicky Van are even kind enough to make a Sneaky Dragon tribute drink called The Leaky Flagon. How do you make it?

• Rim a milkshake glass with crushed Trix cereal
• Into a blender, put a couple of scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream
• Add a half cup of the milk of your choice
• Add one ounce Baileys Irish Cream
• Add one ounce Canadian Whisky
• Blend, damn it, blend!
• Pour into glass

The producer’s wife said the cereal made it taste nostalgic like a birthday party with drunk clowns.

If you make The Leaky Flagon or, better yet, make up one of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

That’s right! Podmash! is back after a nine-year hiatus!

To celebrate Ian’s mumble-mumble birthday, we revived his brainchild Podmash! which takes three different podcasts and mashes them together into one show.

So join Refresh My Memory, Horse Mysteries and good old Sneaky Dragon in Ian’s backyard with friends, family, food and fun!

Sorry you couldn’t be there in person, but you can still enjoy the show.

Join Eric Fell, Jason Dedrick and Vicky Van for Refresh My Memory, as they take a look at Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break, and create the Fifty-Year Storm cocktail. You can make it by mixing blue curaçao, champagne and Sprite, and adding a watermelon wedge as garnish. (According to the producer’s wife: “Pretty good.”)

Louise was kind enough to provide attendees with a delicious desert: the Meatball Sandwich SUBterfuge. She was also kind enough to provide us links to all the components of the yummy treat:

Buns: Èclair shells

Meatballs: Rice Krispie Truffles (using butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate)

Sauce: strawberry whipped cream

Thanks, Louise! You’re the best!

Louise’s sketch of aforementioned desert!

Next, join Lezah Williamson and Dave for Horse Mysteries. No grisly crime or medical mystery for this episode. Instead, they revive Horse Bits to discuss horse society, read a fictional whodunnit, and battle against technology with an online quiz that can only go one way – sideways!

Finally, Dave and Ian show up for a (very) mini-episode of Sneaky Dragon. They discuss doughnuts, Don Martin, getting older, and penises before being joined by the Third Dragon, Nina Matsumoto, and Bob Mackey to discuss podcasting, lightning striking, and relentless self-promotion.

The Disney film Dave was vaguely remembering is called America the Beautiful. It was filmed to be projected in the round using a system developed by longtime Disney employee Ub Iwerks (who also developed the multiplane camera systems for Disney). Dave could not have seen it when he visited the park in 2003 with his daughters as the display was closed at that point. He could have gone to see it his first three visits though (and probably did).

Here is that film that so fascinated a nostalgic at heart, young Dave Dedrick (unfortunately not in the original Circarama):

The producer of Simon and Garfunkel’s career-defining single of “Sounds of Silence” was Tom Wilson – a name that often slips Dave’s mind – who also produced early Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground and The Mothers of Invention (so a pretty important dude in modern music). Also, the first Simon and Garfunkel album was Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M..
