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!
You may remember this email that was posted on the blog:
Hey, Guy!
I'm in need of your assistance. For no real reason other than I've had a single Snydecast exchange running through my head for several weeks and I've listened high and low through every episode that comes to mind, but so far I've come across nothing. It's become an earworm of sorts at this point, and I'm just trying to find it in order to save what little sanity I have left. I want to say it's from an older episode, but I may be wrong. Basically, it's part of a discussion where Dana's fondness for fries is brought up (like THAT really narrows it down) and then Plumey goes into a little bit (in character as Snydely) that has Dana going from store to store in a mall asking everybody he sees if they have any fries. It's just a short, funny little moment and for the life of me, I can't find it.
Help me, Wienerbreath! HELP ME!!!
Hugs and kisses,
-AC
Yesterday I got TWO emails with the answer. One was from a reader of this blog named Patrick, the other was from A.C. (who sent in the question).
These are the words Patrick wrote:
The Snydecast that AC was looking for where Dana was discussing his fondness of fries was Snydecast #132: iSnyde, and the exchange between Ken and Dana occurs around 41 minutes in.
These are the words AC wrote:
SUCCESS!
Came across this by chance, actually, while listening to Snydecast episode #132: "iSnyde." The "got any fries?" thing shows up at about the 40-minute mark, at the tail end of an epic 20+ minute fast food rant by the guys. And it was indeed spurred by a discussion about the aforementioned visit to Hot Dog on a Stick.
So there it is. Mystery solved, for what it's worth. (Now that I've heard it again, I realize that this whole thing was *almost* worth worrying about.)
Dana praised the film and loved the combination of Disney and Oliver Reed.
Oliver Reed was a legendary English actor who was also known for his excessive drinking.
Here is a short clip of one of his drunken TV appearances:
Oliver Reed appeared in over 100 productions, the last being the Russel Crowe film Gladiator.
Oliver Reed also co starred in Condorman. Condorman is a silly spy film made by the Disney company in 1981. It's lots of fun to watch and features some goofy special effects and some neat animation.
Friends, we have ANOTHER Snydecast moment that we need to track down. Take a look at the email I received:

Do you remember when this happened? I can't place it. I think it may be during the discussion of the mall trip that involved a toolbox and Hot Dog on Stick.
I get a lot of email and Twitter questions about the Snydecast... actually it's pretty much one question:
WHEN THE HELL IS THIS SHOW RETURNING?
My response is always "I don't know, but of course it will return."
But lately, I am not so sure.
Why has the show been gone this long?
The last episode was in April! I remember listening to it as I watched the Royal Wedding on TV.
Remember that?
By now those two kids have kids of their own.
Or they divorced or something. It was a long time ago.
Keep this in mind, the last episode before that was in FEBRUARY! They have only made 6 episodes this year! They had 26 by this date 2010... and don't forget last year they took a summer break.
To my knowledge the last time Dana or Ken said ANYTHING about the show in public was when in July when Dana told us a new episode would be out in August:
AUGUST OF WHAT YEAR, DANA?!?!?!?
What if they never return? What happens to us all? Where do we go? How will we live? Am I too dramatic?
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!!!
At least we can take solace in the fact that Ken's Twitter bio still contains this:
That ride has been replaced (after a massive fire) by a new 3D version. Dana and Ken were not excited about the new ride. The new ride opened last year.
The new ride has giant screens on each side of the tram to simulate a real appearance by King Kong:
I’m Ken Plume, and soon you’ll be listening to “A Bit Of A Chat” with me, Ken Plume.
In this episode, I have yet another chat with writer and actor DC Pierson about emotional scars, chin beards, writer’s tables, megaphones, deer, and the FYIndex.
Yesterday we looked at photos Jim from MOVIEBRAINROT.COM posted. Among the photos was this bit of info:
We got to talking to him about Vegas, and Dana, being the seeker of odd entertainment told us tales of a Cat wrangler in Vegas that goes by the name of POPOVICH. He said you must see his car that he drives on stage with cats strapped to it. This is a drawing he made of that act.
Jim @ MOVIEBRAINROT.com was nice enough to share some funny photos from the Screamfest convention in 2008.
Here they are with text from MOVIEBRAINROT.COM:
What happened when Dana Snyder (a.k.a Master Shake on “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”) landed at Screamfest? In honor of the upcoming convention in October, we fondly recall our collection of photos detailing how Dana Snyder was suppose to show his new short “Terror Phone,” but had to cancel last minute.
However, it was the birth of his “What is on Dana’s I-pod” panel.
Here is my photo with Dana cheering his work and self-portrait.
