Going on entertaining tangents? You could record a few random things that come into your head and they could play them as part of the podcast when your not there.Susan Arendt said:
Loved the discussion about kids, it was very in-depth and insightful. My own 9 month old tries to grab my phone all the time, it's adorable. Probably from watching me play Pocket Planes all the time, and from all the lights and colors on it. And he loves munching its protective silicon case. I agree that no matter what the "plan" is, when it comes to kids and child-rearing and gender roles, the plan really turns into guidelines. You can start out with the best intentions in the world, but you get hit with reality and you have to adapt. Specifically on the issue on gender roles, you may try to raise a girl or a boy a certain way, some things are still going to turn out the same. That's also largely because of society, and how it portrays gender roles. Just take a look at toy stores and how incredibly oriented some toys are (EZ Bake Oven anyone?). And you can't deny the role biology plays, which something I denied until I became a mother. Some things are just primarily etched into you, and you can't change that, no matter how hard you try.
Oooh, I'd missed the McKayla "Not Impressed" meme, glad you talked about it!
@Mike: ask any great chef, great, exceptional food is *always* seasoned, *ALWAYS*. Subtly, of course, but it's always seasoned. But whatever floats your boat. ^_^
Another great podcat.

Great podcast.
I'm a vegetarian because that's how I was raised (much like Steve's kid will be raised with inverted controls). Might be the default is people are omnivores, like most people are happy eating food with condiments on top of them. Humans are weird like that.
My food related quirk though; I will not eat food if I know it's been cooked/heated in a microwave. Weird concept to me...
Also, an audio recording of someone eating a salad: can't think of anything sexier.

It really boggled me as to what happened to the August 17th Podcast, especially since I have to wait several hours later(Read: Saturday early morning) to get it.
Unluckily for me, when the podcast is posted, I'm pretty much a day ahead, listening to peoples comments made yesterday.

You know Mike, if that serial killer neighbor of yours listens to this, he's probably made it his life-goal to slip you a "mustard mickey" of sorts.
and another thing on this subject, I'm betting you send a lot of stuff back, so I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you've probably been served a higher than average ammount of "sneezers" because of it.
[hr]At least McKayla Maroney has a sense of humor about it [http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/olympics-2012-mckayla-maroney-impressed-memes-gallery-1.1133535]. That kind of makes up for it. Maybe.
[hr]Okay, it's driving me crazy. I have to go back to the condiments, WHY? Is it like the air conditioning from last week? Are you denying yourself? Is it a purity of food thing? What about jelly on toast? Is it just when it can be added, or do you avoid things that are made with mayo or mustard, like coleslaw or deviled eggs? What about mustard flavored chips? If the tomato on a BLT gets too mashed up does it cross the line to catsup? Is horsey sauce from Arby's really as bad as I remember it? Is it at all related to the game Burger Time?
Okay, forget your serial killer neighbor, it is now MY life-goal to get you to try mustard. Don't worry, I'll have an ambulance ready in case you are allergic.
