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!
Two new podcast episodes featuring the erstwhile co-host of the Ken PD Snydecast, Ken Plume!
Ken talks at length about his love for Disney Parks!
DISNEY PARKS: Obsessed Ep 266 with Ken Plume
Podcaster/producer/writer Ken Plume (A Bit of a Chat, Art of Venture Bros) talks his deep love of Disney Parks and what they've taught him about life! Also, advice for the zombie apocalypse. Thanks as always to Molly Lewis for our theme music and Bryan Ward for our artwork.
#231 - Disneyland or DisneyWorld with Ken Plume
Producer, podcaster and Disneyphile Ken Plume joins us to finally settle a topic that he suggested over 4 years ago. Which park will reign supreme? Only one way to find out...
As you sit by your podcast machine constantly reloading the Ken PD Snydecast feed (in anticipation of it's inevitable return) you can enjoy Ken's love of Disney!
Be one of the cool kids and support Ken Plume's Patreon! It's the way you can access the old Ken PD Snydecasts, so I'm sure Ken and Dana would really appreciate you tossing a few coins in the tip jar over at Patreon!
Speaking of Dana, he recently sat down for a special pre-birthday dinner with Ken!
Oh yes! I bet new episodes of The Ken PD Snydecast can't be far away! Whooo hooo! Chocodilles and Ukulele sales will go through the roof!
It starts off with a wonderfully wacky version of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer done by Plumey.
Then the show starts... without Dana! In his place is Santa Claus:
Ken: I am your merry yuletide jingler, Ken Plume.
Santa: And I am Santa Claus
Ken: You're not really Santa Claus
Santa: Oh, ho ho ho! I am, Ken! You've been a naughty boy this year!
Ken: Prove it.
Santa: I see everything, Ken.
Ken: What kind of twisted, perverted man are you?
Santa: I know what you do in the bathroom with your whatnot Muppet. It disturbs me, ho ho ho ho, to no end!
Santa then talks about his favorite cocktail: Cookies and Milk.
Eventually Mr. Snyder surfaces and explains that Santa is staying at the Snyde-mansion and he tells us about the humongous #2s that Santa has left in the Snyde-toilet.
Later in the show Dana leaves Ken alone to fill time. In a stroke of brilliance Ken introduces us all to the Chattering Yule Teeth. It's a riot.
Before the show ends, Dana takes out his ukulele and the boys delight us all with some Christmas carols.
The episode is titled 'Shoo Fly' which is the second time an episode was titled 'Shoo Fly!'
Episode 112 also had that title and features Dana, Ken and Aaron Poole driving around Atlanta (over the 2009 DragonCon weekend.)
This episode was recorded on Sunday Morning, October 9th at around 11:30am at Hector's Cafe and Diner on Washington Street in NYC.
Since I was actually there I have the unique ability to provide you with several unnecessary details about the recording.
Dana, Ken and I had just finished breakfast. We each ordered corned beef hash and two eggs. Dana ordered a bagel "an everything bagel, or a plain bagel... whatever... I just don't want some cinnamon raisin bagel or something sweet like that."
00:00 Ken starts with the plug for the CD. Get your's now!
01:41 Show starts, recorded on Ken's iPhone.
02:15 The debate over Dana's punctuality continues from prior to the recording.
Dana had missed dinner with Ken the night before (which we hear all about later.) Dana had texted me late in the night telling me to meet him at 10am. I texted him in the morning and when I arrived in the lobby but the texts were not seen...
02:41 Text weren't seen because Dana was using iMessage. So I got to spend extra time playing Q-Bert on my phone in the lobby.
02:49 Tweet mentioned on the podcast:
03:07 Dana mentions that the shower in his hotel room is open to the entire room. Here's a photo of one of the rooms at the hotel:
The hotel also has public bathrooms that are visible to people on the street:
It's a weird, pervy hotel.
03:29 Dana mentions that he has a bottle of Prosecco for me. It's Italian champagne. I mention that we should have had it yesterday when we drank the mini bar vodka:
This was during a recording of Drunk On Disney which you can listen to here.
03:34 Brief discussion of paying the bill with my debit card. We had worried that it was cash only because they had a a shady looking ATM.
04:05 We start to talk about 'the con' which was New York City Comic Con. It was Dana's (and my) first time at this convention.
04:34 We are talking about cell phone credit card holders:
I have one from my bank and Dana's father bought one in Asia.
04:48 I mention that because I use a Samsung phone I carry spare batteries rather than a charging cable so I can pop out the battery when it drains and charge it in a wall charger:
05:43 I mention the episode where Doc Hammer co-hosted and how despite how good the co-host is you never want to listen to a Snydecast without Ken and Dana.
06:20 Mike Broder arrives. Mike runs several conventions including Florida Supercon which will be held next in July 2017, Raleigh Supercon which will also be in July and Paradise City Comic Con which will be held December 9-11, 2016. Dana and I appear at all three of the cons. Come see us!
07:36 they talk about the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel which is officially known as the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (a fact we didn't know during the show.)
Hugh Leo Carey (April 11, 1919 – August 7, 2011) was an American politician and attorney. He served as a seven-term (1961–1974) United States Representative, as well as 51st Governor of New York from 1975 to 1982.
09:49 Saturday Night's dinner fiasco is discussed. Dana didn't show to dinner with Mike and Ken and instead ate on Leroy Street with Melissa Warrenburg.
11:14 The 'Lisa' mentioned is actress and comedian Lisa Corrao:
12:08 Mike mentions his bar:
12:56 Dana mentions that he was at Big Apple Convention years ago:
From wiki:
Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, just over the border from Eagle Pass, Texas.[3][4] In 1943, the wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan in nearby Eagle Pass were in Piedras Negras on a shopping trip, and arrived at the restaurant after it had already closed for the day. The maître d'hôtel, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, invented a new snack for them with what little he had available in the kitchen: tortillas and cheese. Anaya cut the tortillas into triangles, fried them, added shredded cheddar cheese, quickly heated them, added sliced pickled jalapeño peppers,[Note 1] and served them.
