PG-002 Vegetarian Options

In this episide of Prehensile and Gretel we unscientifically examine a wide range of topics that, without any prior planning, ended up loosely connected to food.

Lemons and Limes: Juice, zest and the summer sun. Vince Van Patten gets a mention in this segment. This episode was recorded just a day before we heard the news of Vince’s father, Dick Van Patten passing away at age 86. Our condolences to the family.

Beans: Well, not so much as you normally think of them. Rita remembers hearing the word used as slang for drugs, possibly barbiturates. Possibly amphetamines. We don’t know cause we never used them…

Spam: Phil does an impromptu dramatic interpretation of garbage words embedded in spam. Possibly some haiku coming of this for a future episode?

Vegetarian options: We pull a phrase from our universal box of all that is good and noble get the phrase: “vegetarian options.” Tofurkey anyone? This also  leads to organics and GMO commentary from Rita and Phil.

Farts: What becomes of all the food? It depends on how well you chew. Phil and Rita discuss a game they play at home!

If you have any comments our email is comments at prehensileandgretel.com. We welcome your suggestions!

Thanks for listening!

PG-001 Geology of the Cranium

Here it is. The very first Prehensile and Gretel show. We cover a lot of ground in just 20 minutes:

ICD-10 Code Mockery

These are the codes used to describe medical conditions. Some of them are funny. If you google “funny ICD-10 codes” or “stupid ICD-10 codes” you can find a whole lot of complaining about it. We reference this book: Struck by Orca: ICD-10 Illustrated. Not by name of course, because Phil couldn’t remember the name of the book. Or half of what he’s trying to talk about here. This particular book is at Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1dXLYKe

Barbie and Ken Heads in Special Places

There’s probably an ICD-10 Code for that too, although no one will admit it.

Kung Fu Fighting

This references an old song that was on the radio all the time in 1974. Rita can’t hear it without thinking of an early crush and the extreme letdown that ensued. (see Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SobQQWTmfbA

Iggy Pop

King of all and possibly related to Rita.

Geology of the Cranium

We randomly pull from our special cigar box of suggested words and ideas, a slip of paper that says “Geology of the Cranium” and go from there.

The Benefits of Dog Math

We selfishly profit from Laszlo the Schnauzer’s ability to target his caloric burn.

Nuns

Mixed memories for the two of us. Rita’s are benevolent. Phil’s are more traumatic.
