This is my first segment for Off-Ramp, a show broadcast on NPR here in Southern California.

I'm paying for the bandwidth, even if we're not doing Gastro right now. Gastro is being reworked, most likely to video. In the meantime, enjoy this vulgar skit which has nothing to do with food. Just me messing around.

Freeform is a kind way of saying lazy and disorganized. But in Gastroland it really is a way for us to not be confined within the normal framework we cage ourselves.

We are usually disallowed from straying far from our subject matter, and this has made us restless and punchy, so we decided to throw away the rulebook and discuss what comes off the top of our head.

Seriously? I can say this is a departure from our normal style with a straight face? No, I'm cracking up as I write this.

Food and Sex. You thought we hadn't noticed. We talk about food for a half hour, then abruptly segue into a discussion of the adult video industry with a friend of ours who runs Damaged Pictures.

Porn has a lot to do with food, if you think about it, but that's about all I can scrounge up to justify the non sequitor segment.

If you are offended by graphic sexual talk, and the business of adult films, skip the last half hour!

 

Otherwise, Keep Eating!

Emerging from the depths of grease and meaningless paperwork, witness the rebirth of Gastrologica Mark II.

We also hollow out and stuff fruits and guzzle wine.

...and we discuss our time off!

In a world where death is not the end...

In a time when resurrection is celebrated, and a new dominion reigns over the world.

There stand two men, against the raging tide of media obscurity.

Steve Wasser and Dan Cincis, rising from the ashes, to their their thrones behind the mics of Gastrologica.

This week, we talk about Passover, Easter and all our other non-food related crap.

Next week's episode: what we've been doing the last three months and spring vegetables & fruits.

I had a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
and when the dreidel's ready I'll have another drink.

Say hi to Rob, Gastrologica's newest alcoholic! Finally, someone who has to get edited more than I do! Rob, Dan and I talk about our favorite ways to prepare turkey and general Thanksgiving banter. And the tangents. The famous Gastro tangents.

Remember us? The Guys From Gastro? We're back in our new condensed format...literally. I've lost 20 pounds and the shows are a half hour now. This week, (month....year..?) we talk about mushroom varieties for about 10% of the show. The rest is filler material. Hey, we're just getting back up to speed, give us a break!
