Ken has a new chat with Sam Bain!
In this episode, I have a chat with writer Sam Bain about Fresh Meat, Peep Show, optimism, Woody Allen, and rainbow thievery.
Adult Swim’s Dana Snyder and FRED’s Ken Plume set out to have a literate conversation between two pals, but inevitably devolve into a verbal, and funny, free-for-all full of bickering, infighting, and the special kind of male bonding that comes from conflict expressed through the podcast medium. This, dear friends, is the online experience!

Dana, thanks for joining me on the Creepcast - how are you?

DS:That name i believe came from our dark lord and masters, Chris Kelly and Dave Willis.

Zero Mostel Reads A Book
From bangback.com:
In this hard-bound photo-essay, photographer Robert Frank, known for his outsider’s perspective on the strata of American society, follows Zero with a camera while he reads a random progression of books. A dictionary, a comic book, novels, and an anonymous assortment of thick texts. Reading, he moves around his home from room to room, first on a chair, then on a sofa, then pulling more books from his shelves; he drinks, he smokes. Frank’s camera is all the while capturing Zero’s reaction to what is being read — he cries, laughs, sweats, uses a magnifying glass, is scared, horrified, enraged, makes hammy faces; he emotes.
Here are some great images from the book:

GoPro Camera

It's is called the "world's most versatile camera." It's creator made the camera after finding he couldn't get good surfing pictures.
FROM WIKI:
Woodman initially raised money for his company by selling bead and shell belts out of his VW van. Each belt sold for under $20.
So there's that.
Ken chides Dana for never uploading anything from Switzerland. So he uploaded this.

The Wizard of Oz on Ice
On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #201: Elephansnydus Dana talks about his upcoming performance in The Wizard of Oz at the Lyceum Theatre in Arrow Rock, MO.
Dana will be performing the part of the Cowardly Lion from June 7th to June 16th!
You can go to the Lyceum Theatre website for tickets and info.
Anyway, Dana reminded me of the 1996 CBS TV special "The Wizard of Oz on Ice"?
Remember Bobby McFerrin's performance as The Wizard?
Oksana Baiul as Dorothy... but Shanice providing the voice of Dorothy?
And the ruby red ice skates?
Oh dear. It really happened.
Thankfully some of it is on YouTube. Even more thankfully, not all of it is on YouTube.
It starts out with an introduction by someone I don't recognize, but the scroll on the bottom indicates that his name was Senator Bob Dole:
Click here to see The Cowardly Lion sing!
Here are a bunch of videos I found but didn't watch. They may be a Rickroll or something. For your sake, I hope they are.
Here is the "making of" special which sadly never answers the question "why".
Now you should be sufficiently ready for a QUALITY version of this story. Go to the Lyceum Theatre website for tickets and info.

The Freshmaker
On Snydecast 200 Dana and Ken rattle off some commercial jingles. Ken mentions "The Freshmaker":
Dana mentions the Dos Equis commercial with "I don't always drink beer, but when I do I drink a s***load!"
Or whatever he says.
They also reference the Trident commercial that says "4 out of 5 dentists recommend..."
Here is a parody by Trident:

Far Cry 3
On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #200 Dana mentions his love of the game Far Cry 3.
Dana has been playing the game on PS3.
From wiki:
Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements including experience points, skill trees, and a crafting system. The player has the ability to take cover behind objects to break enemies' lines of sight and also to peek around and over cover and blindfire. The player also has the ability to perform silent "takedowns" by performing melee attacks from above, below, or close behind. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberghe, said that the story mode map is around ten times larger than in the game's previous installments. Players are given the ability to survey and plan out their attacks with stealth takedown combinations and also tag enemies with the camera in order to track their movement once they break the player's line of sight.
Here is the game's trailer:

From the mailbag...
Hi Ken & Dana,
Long time listener, (yes there are more than two of us), first time writer.
I was just listening to the new episode, and was compelled to write in.
First, just to let you know how much I enjoy the podcast, as sporadic as it has been.
And second, to let you know that there actually exists a hot dog restaurant in Vancouver, BC. Japadog (http://www.japadog.com/) has several hot dog carts, but also has one dedicated sit-down restaurant downtown. And according to their website, they just opened a new location in New York.
They don't have a "hot tot" but they do have a Croquette dog, which is two mashed potato croquettes alongside the sausage. Not tried it myself, but it certainly looks delicious.
I don't know if you already knew about Japadog, or whether this even would count as a true "Hot Dog Restaurant," given that it started as just a cart.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and we all miss The Mail Song.
- Mark
