PG-009 Musical Impressions

Hello everyone!

Can you believe we’re actually putting out two podcasts within a 4 week period? No shit! Well, part of it is due to the fact that we recorded a longer than usual show on New Year’s Eve. Then it took us forever to get it together. We decided to divide it into two shows. Trouble is, in between all this, there was a parade of death. David Bowie, Lemmy Kilmister, Paul Bley, Paul Kantner, Glenn Frey, et. al.

In this episode we start the discussion of what our most influential musical connections are. In some cases, as with Rita, we look at the perfect albums. Phil talks about experiences with music. Keep in mind, none of this is comprehensive and it is all subject to continued discussion. There is much to discuss. We love music. I think our collection includes over 1000 LPs, well over 1500 CDs, hundreds of cassette tapes, and yes, we still have 45s. Not the largest collection in the world mind you, but we have invested in tunes.

This episode also includes a new Shart Industries commercial. They love us and we love them. They have proven to be very big supporters and sponsors of the Prehensile and Gretel Show.

One thing Phil wants to correct: he makes reference to WZMF radio, back in the 60s and 70s; it was indeed out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, not Milwaukee, as Phil states on this episode.

At any rate, we hope, as always, that you enjoy this episode and if you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to comments at prehensileandgretel.com

We might have a contest coming up soon!

Thanks to all of you who’ve been listening. More good stuff coming!

Special thanks to our secretary Blanche Nesbitt and also to Barry Flavonoid, who plays the role of our loyal Schnauzer.

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.
