On the newest Ken PD Snydecast Ken mentions visiting the Las Vegas airport and mentions the slot machines.
You may remember from previous episodes, Dana's father designed the new terminal at the airport.
You can read more about Mr. Snyder here.
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!

Ken passing out on Big Thunder
On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #224: Shanghai Surprise, Ken and Dana bicker about the events of September 9, 2013.
Here are Plume's tweets from the incident in question:
Here are Plume's tweets from the incident in question:
Towards the end of KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #204: Meatlife Crisis the discussed the events as they were fresh in Ken's mind.
The new episode of the Snydecast has both Ken and Dana telling radically different accounts of the event, and none of it really syncs up with the story on the show in 2013.
According to the show in 2013 Ken passed out, they gave him a bottle of water and he sat down. Then Ken went on Pirates of the Caribbean, then he went and watched the Enchanted Tiki Room, got a Dole Float, watched Country Bear Jamboree, had lunch, rode Big Thunder Mountain, and "slowly" made his way to the exit.
According to him it was 3:30pm or 4pm when he rode Big Thunder.
On the new episode Ken and Dana go back and forth about the issue and both are wrong at different points. So you can be the judge by LISTENING HERE.

Cook E. Jarr show ended
On the newest Snydecast, KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #224: Shanghai Surprise, Ken asks what Dana would show him in Las Vegas. It's not the first time the question has been asked:
On KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #185: Semi-Elect a listener question about what to do in Las Vegas. Dana mentions a few different things.
He mentions Musashi Japanese Steak House (3900 Paradise Rd Las Vegas, NV 89169 • 702-735-4744), he mentions Popavich (the crazy cat man) and he mentions Cook E. Jar.

According to Las Vegas Leisure Guide:
Cook E. Jarr has been a lounge fixture on the Las Vegas scene since he came here in the early 80's and decided to make it his home. Always fresh as a singer and entertainer Jarr has a unique, anything goes, style all his own, combining music as diverse as 60's Classics, disco, country and even todays hip-hop hits with his own trademark sound effects, puns, antics and special effects, punctuated with his tales of "old" Vegas. Las Vegas is pretty much the only place one could expect to find someone as... "Vegas Baby" as Cook E. Jarr.
Cook E. Jarr creates one of the best parties with the best music in town. If you don't find yourself uncontrollably jumping up to dance, just sit back and enjoy, but don't miss what many people come to Las Vegas expecting to see, because he delivers.
Here is a video from his show:
Recently Dana pointed out to me that the show has come to an end.
From The Las Vegas Sun:
Singing, joking and grooving to the end, Cook E. Jarr closes with a flourish at Harrah’s
Cook E. Jarr is playing right now. He’s playing out the string, playing the fool, playing the music box in the corner, all at The Piano Bar at Harrah’s.
The Jarr is finished here, as of the end of this set, which is to be about 6 p.m. He has performed “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker, “You May Be Right” by Billy Joel and “Bust a Move” by Young MC. He is going out with a flourish, hitting the “woof, woof!” mechanism on his music machine and barking right along with his indefatigable voice.

Happy Fourth of July!
In honor of the 4th we present this video of a super patriotic fireworks display over Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland (featuring music from Epcot's American Adventure):
Speaking of American Adventure, the inspiring audio animatronic show at Epcot, here is a great video with highlights of the show:
No discussion of patriotic Disney attractions would be complete without a look at the Hall of Presidents from Walt Disney World:
Finally, just because it made me laugh, here is a video I found entitled Hall of Inaccurate Presidents:
Happy 4th of July! Eat some BBQ, have a beer and try not to blow your hand off lighting a bottle rocket.

But what is SDCC? if only I could decipher the code...
Perhaps it's the Salvation and Deliverance Church of Connecticut!

The Aristocats
On the most recent Ken PD Snydecast Ken and Dana talk about The Aristocats. It's one of the more underrated Disney flicks. It's a fun time with lots of engaging characters and solid music.
The film has three kittens at the center of the plot and they have all appeared at Disney parks.
However, Marie is far and away the most popular particularly in Tokyo Disneyland.
There are a few possible reasons. For starters, her name is easier to pronounce. The other two are named Toulouse and Berlioz. Also, there is always a demand for more female characters in the parks.
I've also heard that in Tokyo she was initially popular because she sorta looks like Hello Kitty and that led to her being popular in her own right. I don't recall where I heard that. Possibly I dreamed it.

Mickey Mouse hats in Paris
On the most recent Snydecast Dana mentioned that they didn't sell the Mickey Mouse ear hats in Disneyland Paris.
And these:
This article also mentions the lack of hat:

The website is written in foreign, but here's a translation:
1. EAR HATS
I can’t believe those are not on sale: it is the very first thing I bought during my Walt Disney World vacation! This classic is really missing in Disneyland Paris. And now we know that DLP is planning to sell the Glow With The Show version of this hat (with lights synchronized to the show) for Disney Dreams, I’m even more outraged the original one is still not on sale in Marne-la-Vallée. But other classics are also ignored in DLP, like these lovely Mickey Mouse shaped balloons. They should not only be seen as gadgets: once guests use these historical items in the parks, they contribute to the joyful and elegant atmosphere of the Disneyland park.

Engelbert Humperdinck
On the newest Snydecast Dana and Ken drop the name of Englebert Humperdinck. It's not surprising they dropped it. It's a heavy name to carry.
SELF HIGH FIVE.
Anyway, it's not his real name. He was born Arnold Dorsey but he thought that name was too normal He wanted a weird name that sounded like a Muppet and a German sexual position.
Engelbert Humperdinck. It's not even easy to spell. The "C" at the end throws me off.
Here's some info from Wikipedia that I cut and pasted without reading:
Engelbert Humperdinck (born Arnold George Dorsey; 2 May 1936) is an English pop singer. He is best known for his songs "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz", both singles topping the UK music charts in 1967, and selling in large-enough numbers to help the singer achieve "the rare feat of scoring two million sellers in one year." In North America, he is also known for his 1976-hit single, "After the Lovin'." Humperdinck is regarded by music critics to be "one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around."
Here's a YouTube video that claims to be one of his albums. I didn't watch it. Hopefully halfway through it becomes some weird German Muppet sex romp:
