Hola Sneakers! This week on Sneaky Dragon, Ian and Dave are joined by their friend James, who asked to be on the show to celebrate their 21st birthday and Ian and Dave were happy to have them to talk elaborate moustaches; the correct length of sideburns; how Stryper inspired Dave; thematic street names; street stories; confounding math problems; the language of math; the insulting coat; the wounded American psyche; mind fucks; doing the Puyallup; a brief intermission; graveyard activities; three-legged cat problems; Annihilation fractals; favourite math songs; imaginary children; improv too everywhere; when shame kicks in; the comedic path; Hannah Gadsby; the myth of laziness; stressful stress; disappointing treats; Chinese Chinese food; and, finally, the Top 5 songs about swords as requested by Haden.
Thanks for listening.
