Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to a very special episode of Sneaky Dragon where we kiss the Blarney Stone, pull on our jigging shoes and turn a bunch of respectable songs into cod-Irish nonsense!
But not only that! This week on the show: a particular welcome; getting comfortable; dog shoes; what are we; God-bothering; hearing yourself; Irish songs #1; funny now vs. funny then; some SCTV love; comedy support; Irish songs #2; not funny; favourite Simpsons episodes; joke-a-thons; mixed-up metaphors; Irish songs #3; the Irish tenor; pleasing stereotypes; British cheeses; Newhart’s buttoned-down life; women driver memes; self-driving discomfort; Irish songs #4; Question of the Week – Sneakers respond; the -mi/-mi problem; bull crap; sad Mama Cass; a real realist; the black and white hurdle; karaoke; and, finally, it’s a better film than you think.
Question of the Week: What is a comedy from your past that you think stands the test of time? Sub-question: What is your go-to karaoke song?
Thanks for listening.
