He tweeted this picture:

Some one posted a short video online:



So we await the Snyde review on the next Snydecast.

Spin and Marty

Snydely certainly had Disney on the brain during Ken PD Snydecast 212. At one point he says "what Disney needs to know..." and then corrects himself "what substitute teachers need to know..."
At another point he confuses actor Ron Silver with Disney parks performer Ron Schneider.

And then, when he goes to mention the Adult Swim show Rick and Morty...

He mentions the Disney show Spin and Marty.

FROM WIKI: Spin and Marty is a popular series of television shorts that aired as part of ABC's Mickey Mouse Club show of the mid-1950s produced by Walt Disney. There were three serials in all, set at the Triple R Ranch, a boys' western-style summer camp. The first series of 25 eleven-minute episodes, The Adventures of Spin and Marty, was filmed in 1955. Its popularity led to two sequels – The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty in 1956 and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty in 1957.
It aired as reruns on the Disney Channel until September 9, 2002.
The serials were based on the 1942 novel Marty Markham by Lawrence Edward Watkin. The producer for Disney was Bill Walsh and the screenplay was written by Jackson Gillis. The shows' success led to the Spin and Marty comic books of the late 1950s.

You can watch a 7 minute clip of the show here.

Dana updated his Twitter bio:

 Also voice of Zinger for Tidy Cats internet-only campaign of 8 years ago.

This was a real thing:
LINK to press release
With the subject line "Secret tests revealed in these Tidy Cats videos," consumers were directed to tidycats.com to watch clips along with Roscoe, Phoebe and Zinger (the brand's "spokescats" in its TV commercials). The online videos were produced by infuz, a St. Louis-based interactive agency.

infuz has a video about the promotion online, but no audio from any of the acts appear.

I found a blog that mentions it:

But the link goes here:

The comments are no help:

Zinger may be lost to time...

Heat Vision and Jack

On the newest Snydecast the boys talk about the TV pilot Heat Vision and Jack.

Heat Vision and Jack is a 1999 comedy/sci-fi television short directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Ron Silver. Christine Taylor and Vincent Schiavelli guest starred in the pilot episode, the only episode filmed. While the Fox Network didn't pick up the show, the pilot gained a cult status and an online following.

Enjoy:

Ron Silver or Ron Schneider

On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #212: Elementary, My Dear Snyder, Dana confuses Ron Silver with Ron Schneider.

Ron Silver was an American actor, director, producer, radio host and political activist.

Ron Schneider was the actor who portrayed the Epcot character Dreamfinder in television appearances in the early 1980s.

Dana Snyder mention on Opie & Anthony

On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #212: Elementary, My Dear Snyder Dana mentions that they discussed his old Wiki photo on Opie and Anthony in 2010.

They were discussing some goof who was on the show who had made a list of dudes he would sleep with if he could also sleep with some hot chicks.

Old Snyde was near the top of the list.

You can here the clip here:

The Marx Brothers, Why A Duck?

Here's some background from wiki:

Why a Duck? is a comedy routine featured in the Marx Brothers movie The Cocoanuts (1929). In a scene in which Groucho and Chico are discussing a map, Groucho mentions the presence of a viaduct between the mainland and a peninsula. Chico, who is playing the role of an immigrant with poor English skills, replies "Why a duck?" This leads into a long schtick with Chico responding "Why a no chicken?", "I catch ona why a horse", and so forth.
Why a Duck? is a touchstone scene for Marx Brothers fans, as evidenced by a book of the same name (featuring a foreword by Groucho) which focuses on the minutiae of the Marx Brothers' routines.
The duck is a recurring reference throughout the Marx's and especially Groucho's career. His signature walk was called "the duck walk" and on Groucho's television program You Bet Your Life a stuffed duck made up to resemble Groucho would drop from the ceiling to give contestants money if they said the day's secret word. Ducks are the only animals that perform lines in the song "Everyone says I Love You" in the Marx Brother's fourth film Horse Feathers. Their fifth film was called Duck Soup.
