We’re in Las Vegas! A city full of bright lights, slot machines, lavish shows and tacky things everywhere. A great place to visit, but being surrounded by so many people gambling the night away on slot machines and roulette wheels makes me panic a little. Like the end of the world is near.
Las Vegas would be the last place I would want to be caught fighting off zombies in a total apocalypse scenario. But, alas, here we are at a conference full of podcasters.
Thankfully we ran into the delightful talk show host Meredith Medland of the Living Green podcast. The show’s motto is “effortless ecology for everyday people.”
On her weekly podcast Meredith talks extensively about the psychology of the ecology and why we are “going green” all of a sudden. She talks to not only environmentalists and eco-friendly types, but also to fatalists, those people who are preparing for the collapse of Western civilization and the end of the world as you and I know it. Yeow!
She spent a lot of time with people who build bomb shelters, own guns and stockpile enough preserved food to feed themselves for a good year. Needless to say Meredith is getting a little anxious listening to these people talk in detail about why the world might go poof in a blink of an eye.
Good thing our gal knows Hapkido! Meredith says she can kick herself out of a handgun, and we believe her.
Listen as we talk to Meredith about her red carpet interviews with Will Smith, Al Gore and how Oscar nominee Sienna Miller feels in her body when preparing for those sexy love scenes.
New study shows the pill may affect what kind of a man a woman is attracted to. Woman who take the pill are more likely to choose a mate that has similar DNA to their won. This may result in difficulties getting pregnant or miscarrying. Woman who don’t take the pill are equally attracted to both men who are and who are not similar to them genetically. Why do we as gay men care about the pill and its effects? Well, if there is a pill that will make Pavel Novotny attracted to me, I want to know about it!
One of the owner’s of Manhunt was outed as a hard core republican because he gave money to John McCain’s campaign. The money has since been to Obama and the man has resigned but the popular gay dating site (by date, we mean hook up) is in the middle of a big controversy as to how we reconcile someone’s political leanings and our values as gay people. Do we boycott the company because someone in leadership doesn’t share our values or do we just take the product as is?
Jeff Whitty, the gay author of the hit Broadway show Avenue Q probably never heard of Adam Hinton and Kerry Norris when he wrote the song lyrics that allows you to be “as loud as the hell you want when you are making love.” Well, as it turns out, you can’t be loud as the hell you want when you’re making love, at least not in the U.K. This happy couple were so loud in their lovemaking that the neighbors got a restraining order against Adam and he can longer visit his lover’s home.
Savor the flavor- Feast of Fools.

How is the internet affecting us? Recently we held a public form (with LifeLube) on the topic on how online communites, podcasts, forums, blogs and videos are changing not only the way we see ourselves, but how the general public thinks about queer folks.
Let’s face it. There’s a whole lot of crazy on the internet, and what seemed far out a decade ago is kind of boring by today’s standards. Your sex life is probably not as weird as you thought it once was. That’s progress.
On today’s show we’re revising the topic of the impact of the internet with Dr. Brian Mustanski, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Brian developed one of the first online studies of gay lesbian and bisexual people and is now working on “Keep it Up” an online HIV infection prevention program for young men. The majority of his work focuses on the development of “sexual minority” people and how the Internet affects us.
Listen as we talk about internet addiction, the risks of online dating and hookups and what science has taught us about human sexuality in the past year.
Misconceptions surrounding what turns us on, the mind body disconnect, how pheromones turn us on, why gay couples are happier than their hetero counterparts and the fluidity of female sexual orientation.
People debate if bisexuality is a temporary stage of denial, a transition on the way to being gay or a third type of sexual orientation. A study followed non-heterosexual women over 10 years and found, 2/3 of women changed the identity labels they had claimed at the beginning of the study, and 1/3 changed labels 2 or more times. The study conducted by L.M. Diamond suggests a fluidity to female sexual orientation, but that bisexual identity does appear to be distinct from identifying as a lesbian.
According to a study by Savic and Lindstrom, some parts of the brain are organized more around sexual orientation to men or women than they are organized around sex itself. Interesting patterns of brain activation to same-sex pheromones in gay men (“i.e. the nose knows.”). Sexual orientation may be wired into the brain before birth.
A disturbing fact is that the US underestimated prevalence of HIV by as much as 40% and up to 53% among MSM. This means there have probably been about 10,000 more MSM infected with HIV each year than previously thought.
Same-sex couples in domestic partnerships are more likely to stay together. Compared with heterosexual married participants, male and female same-sex couples reported greater relationship quality, compatibility, and intimacy and lower levels of conflict. Gay couples are better!
And finally, internet sex seeking doesn’t lead to HIV risk behaviors. I’m missing the link here, but we’ll find it!

Gaybies beware! Kathy Griffin is on the rampage. In case you’ve missed the best reality show on television, comedian Kathy Griffin hit an off-key with some of the gays who have opted to become parents otherwise know as gaybies.
On today’s show Curtis Jensen joins us to talk about his crazy friend’s outrage over Kathy Griffin’s gay-parent controversy and the letter he sent to Bravo to complain.
One thing we never knew is that Curtis’ brother-in-law is a minuteman, a guy who in his spare time travels some four or five hours down to the U.S.-Mexico border and uses a gun to force them back into their country.
On a happier note, the Steamworks twister sideshow at Market Days was huge success, raising money for Chicago House.
Oh the economy! Downsizing is making everything tiny, say hello to mini-cows! Some farmers are now switching their regular sized livestock for these cute and delicious miniaturized versions.
Croc shoes banned from Austrian hospitals for their static electricity properties. The unique shoes may not only kill your fashion sense, but they may actually kill you because they allegedly build up static electricity which can damage electrical units or cause organ failure.
What will the fashionably unconscious wear?

We’ve got the Shaker Sisters today- Robyn Monks and Jen Zias, join us to talk about their debut album All Night Through- a fabulous collection of country and pop songs about the trials and tribulations of being a woman, or a gay guy.
Christmas in July comes but once a year or does it? Robyn shares with us her tale of her recovery from sex, drugs and booze. OK, it seems she never recovered from the sex part and we like that! But she’s been sober for a number of years now.
Things for her got out of control when she stayed up one night and decorated her apartment for Christmas. Christmas in July may seem like a good idea when your fueled by booze and drugs but when you sober up and see your house decorated in expectation of the arrival of Old St. Nick you began to reconsider your life.
You can check out the Shaker Sisters at Fitzgerald’s in Berwyn on Wednesday August 13.
The Indian Bible draws controversy from everybody, imagine that! the new Bible depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph as poor Indian villagers. Mary wears a sari and has a bindi on her forehead and Joseph sports a turban and loincloth. Sadly, Jesus does not have eight arms or an elephant trunk for a nose. The Catholic Churchissued the new Bible to make it more accessible to Indians. Some Christians criticize the new Bible because they feel it doesn’t truly reflect Biblical truths.
Flying dog poop sculpture draws controversy from everybody, imagine that! The creation of American artist Paul McCarthy flew off in a gust of wind and ran into a greenhouse and a power line. The unusual art piece had a safety mechanism that would deflate it in case of bad weather but it somehow failed.
We’re in Vegas everybody! Vegas Vegas Vegas! We chat with Jen and Robyn about favorite places, people and things to do in the City of Sin, which we’ve now renamed the City of Hope.
Remember people, whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except those STD’s you picked up, so please, use a condom.

Some guys just know how to take a good photo. As I was walking around Market Days this weekend, I asked a hunk in his swimming trunks to pose for me and usually most hunks turn to the camera and smile, well, this guy turned his face upwards and started tugging on his swim trunks. What a body!
His icy pose was one of my favorites of the day as it perfectly captures this sensuous stud in all his arrogance and beauty. I’m guessing by the star of David on his left pec and the semitic looking word that he’s probably Jewish. Does anyone know what’s written on his right pec? I’m sure its something like “peace,” “love” or “worship me.”
On today’s show our lovable pal Justin McPhee who bears an uncanny resemblance to actor Daniel Radcliffe (known for playing Harry Potter) joins us to mostly laugh at our corny jokes and talk about his travels in France. What’s the gay scene in Paris like? Are all the guys in the The City of Lights short?
Sex is on the menu today! It’s the oldest joke and profession and now scientists in Australia have found evidence of the world’s oldest creatures to engage in the act. Paleontology never was so erotic. Whoo. It seems when it comes to the birds and the bees that the tube worms did it first some 500 million years ago.
Last week actor James Franco appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about an upcoming movie, but seemed way more interested in talking about Milk and his experience in wearing a prosthetic wang during nude love scenes with co-star Sean Penn. A transcript of the interview sounded almost like a steamy romantic novel. Yeow!
James spoke about his experience- ” I go over to Sean and I guess he didn’t know I was wearing a prosthetic. You are such a great actor. You wouldn’t do a scene like this if they asked . You wouldn’t dive into the pool naked,’ and he said, not knowing I was wearing a prosthetic, ‘Well James, if I was built like you, I would.’
I’m am shocked. I had no idea that prosthetic wieners are now standard in Hollywood.
Bats in the belfry might mean death as real-life vampire bats are actually killing people Venezuela. No, they aren’t sucking the poor victims dry but rather they infecting them with rabies, which is hard to cure if it goes untreated early on. Maybe a bad case of rabies explains President Chavez’s odd behavior.
The Dog Cloning lady might be crazier than we thought and the cloning of her beloved pit bull named Booger may be just the tip of the iceberg of insanity. It’s alleged that the one time beauty queen held her former Mormon lover captive and forced him to have sex with her until he promised to marry her. Once she released him, he reported her to the police and she was arrested. She fled the jurisdiction and has been on the lamb ever since. I’m guessing that this lady has an obsession problem.
Please go see a dentist! Okay? Don’t make me come over to where you are and drag your ass to see a dentist. If you haven’t seen a dentist in six months, you’ve waited too long.

What a weekend! Chicago almost busted at the seams as over 200,000 people came from all parts of the world to hang out, celebrate and enjoy the perfect weather, music and sexy people walking around Lakeview for Northalsted Street Market Days.
Steamworks didn’t disappoint with their fantastic twister inspired booth. With the hunky guys playing the colorfully spotted game, we had to play and certainly enjoyed being on the bottom of a pile of beefcake.
Musician Eric Himan brought out the fans and listeners of the podcast. We had a fun time with so so many Feast of Fools listeners in the audience. We’re glad we were able to introduce so many of you to his hot indie-rock music. It was great to see so many of you cheering Eric on and buying his music after the show!
We have a big angry mob of fabulous guests today! Don’t miss today’s show as Tracy Tyler, Hot Boy Luke, Teddy Jay, Marc Felion and me Fausto FernĂłs talk about the Market Days madness and take a break from the festivities to hang out at home in the home studio on Saturday night.
As if Market Days wasn’t enough, the Olympic games also started this weekend, the Olympic Olympics, you know the trademarked one, as thousands of athletes from around the world gathered in China to compete. Watching the dazzling opening ceremonies on TV, I was quite taken by all the beautiful athletes marching onto Beijing Birds Nest Stadium floor. I felt like Mae West in her final film “Sextette.” Boys boys! There’s plenty of Fausto to go around.
Marc was bested by a chicken hawk- and not the kind you are probably used to hearing about in the gay bars. You may remember Marc telling the story about how he tragically killed his niece’s baby chicken by accidentally putting a cage on him and effectively crushing the poor thing to death. Well, the little girl just recovered from the horror of losing one of her favorites chicken to witness only a few weeks later another chicken being carried off by a chicken hawk (a real one- not an old gay man who preys on young men). So, he is no longer the bad guy.
I feel a little sad seeing John Edwards getting politically tarred and feathered after the revelations of an affair with a woman hired to produce campaign videos. It was a brief affair that his wife knew about so get over it America.
Many bloggers and tv pundits say it’s not going to hurt Barak Obamas chances, but anything that takes American’s minds off our mortgage crisis, the need for true universal healthcare, and ecological and energy woes could mean another four more of the Bush-Rove-McCain style of leadership.
With McCain getting so much media coverage comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (two women who are closely tied to the Republican party) is not only distracting the American voter, it negates his promise not to run a sleazy campaign.
Has the debate become like an episode of Seinfeld- “a show about nothing?” Discuss.
It’s okay to lick your fingers- Feast of Fools.

Yipee! Market Days is almost here, and we are SO ready for it.
The Midwest’s largest street fair, drawing over 200,000 people from around the country is happening this weekend and one of the funnest booths is of course Steamworks’ twister booth, which consists of everyday people playing twister with hunky men for charity. This year the charity is Chicago House, so give it up for them.
We’ll be there taking pics and participating, getting ourselves in every twist and turn we can imagine. Winning at twister requires a lot of core strength, something if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer can be quite a challenge. Ugh!
I don’t care, because if I lose, I’ll just wind up on the bottom of a pile of handsome men!
On today’s show Curtis Jensen and Juan Carlos from Steamworks, or as we say in Spanish “Esteamworks” join us to talk about the twister booth and how to put men in vulnerable place where dreams come true. In other words how to flirt with a guy and succeed!
Curtis gives us the skinny on what may happen to San Francisco’s 2008 Halloween festivities which were canceled last year. The gay district of San Francisco was in virtual lockdown last year because of of gang activity and gun fire at the previous year’s Halloween celebration. In 2008, they now propose a Halloween inspired carnival in a parking lot at the AT&T Park that will have fun activities for the children and may or may not include alcohol. Will it be enough though to lure the straights and the gang bangers away from the Castro district though?
Remember the insane, over the top “I Am Rich” iPhone application that cost $999.99? Well it turns out that Apple yanked it off its store after all the negative publicity. One guy had his iTunes shopping preferences set to “one click” and accidentally downloaded the thousand dollar app.
According to the LA Times blog email conversation with Heinrich, the app’s developer, six people in the U.S., one from Germany and one from France bought the $999.99 application. This brought Heinrich $5600 in net revenue.
San Antonio’s Second Baptist Church is fighting hard to rename nearby Gay Boulevard to Second Baptist Avenue in an effort to raise the profile of the church. The city of San Antonio seems ok with it since Gay has “”no significant historical connection” to the city.
It’s not just the gays at Market Days celebrating the summer. Almost all of Italy is on vacation at the beach during the month of August and the churches in the big cities are empty. So instead of the shepherd leading the flock, the shepherd has followed the flock to the beach and is now hearing confessions from the wayward souls in an inflatable church in the sand.
We’re still hoping to raise the full amount to bring us to Las Vegas and San Francisco, so wont you help? For the price of a cup of coffee (okay, really NICE coffee) you can help bring the Feast of Fools OUT WEST!

The terrible tornado that almost blew the city of Chicago apart on Monday averaged almost 800 lightening strikes a minute. Yeow!
One nice thing about the calamity is that it took place towards the end of Monday night’s Zodiac Wine Tasting event, so suddendly we had to huddle in a men’s bathroom with over 80 men (and some cute women) and several bottles of fine wine for protection. Ooh, yes indeed!
A great time was had by all. Thanks to Big Jones restaurant for the food and the always charming Alpana Singh for co-hosting the event with us.
Click here for photos from the event.
We’re still working hard to raise money to get ourselves to Las Vegas for the podcasters conference and to San Francisco for the final night of Trannyshack
People, please! donate what you can.
Hey good looking, what you got cooking? If you had said that to a caveman about two million years ago he probably would have said roasted tortoise. Yes, that seems to have been a staple in the caveman diet along with lions and pygmy hippos and elephants.
Web developer Armin Heinrich releases the I Am Rich iPhone application, at the low low price of 999.99 dollars- it’s purpose? To show off how rich and frivilous you are. It does nothing but display a crude picture of a red ruby on your iPhone’s screen. As someone who has guested on this show says “Give me opulence or give me death!”
Heath Ledger’s case is closed! The feds have ended their probe into Heath Ledger’s death, and as a result, Mary-Kate Olsen won’t have to tell them anything. Investigators wanted to ask her where Ledger got the OxyContin or Vicodin that was found in his system, but now they may never know the truth.
Cinderella on Ice goes gay in Australia as the show features a gay couple ice skating. The couple in question are not the stars of the show but a couple at the fabulous ball. Gabrielle Walsh of the Australian Families Association balks at the portrayal and calls it inappropriate. She says that “We need to protect our children. They don’t need to grow up any quicker.” Hey lady, kids don’t care who is gay.
I said beam me up Scotty, not blast me into bits! Deceased actor James Doohan who portrayed Scotty in the Star Trek series remains earthbound as the third attempt to go to outer space failed when the rocket containing his ashes exploded over the Pacific Ocean. After three tries, we aren’t sure if there is anything of him left to be sent into space but we are rooting for you.
Good news! 125 thousand gorillas were found deep in the African Congo. I don’t know how in this day and age that they didn’t know they were there. Where they hiding or something? After all, that’s a population the size of many American cities.
Britney Spears is set to play a lesbian killer in the Quentin Tarantino-directed remake of the 1965 cult classic “Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” Her character murders with her bare hands and has sex with another girl before the movie ends in a blood bath. Sources say that Tarantino “is convinced Britney will be brilliant… It could turn her career around.” If anyone can do it, Quentin Tarantino can.

It just might be the gayest event in the whole midwest.

It just might be the gayest event in the whole midwest.
On today’s show Jason Heidemann, the Gay & Lesbian editor for Time Out Chicago talks about Northalsted Market Days, the largest and gayest street festival in the Midwest.
Jason describes the month of June and all the Pride events surrounding it as Thanksgiving with your family which is fun but a time of reflection and thanks for all we’ve achieved.
But Northalsted Market Days is simply one giant gay party with no agenda except to have a good time. In many ways, Market Days is the party we all want to have after the Pride Parade is over but have nowhere to go and often have to work the next day.
Listen as we give you the inside scoop on what to see, what to do and who to do this weekend as over 200,000 people gather to hang out in the gorgeous Lakeview area and feast on street food, drink in public and enjoy the tinny sound of 80s has-been bands like Expose!
One perennial favorite of the street fair is the Steamworks booth which is more like a mini-mall featuring an eclectic mix of staff, porn stars and local residents playing twister for kitchsy prizes. I’m definitively not as limber as some of these famous adult actors, but it sure is fun to “lose” in this game, if you consider losing as lying under a pile of handsome men.
Some men like a challenge, I don’t.
Be sure to keep an eye out on our flickr photo gallery for pics of guys (and gals) kissing each other with joyful bliss. It’s always a hit with the online photo bloggers.
One thing thing that everyone loves to talk about to this day is the phallic, awkward pylons that anchor the Halsted Street area between Addison and Belmont as the official “gay” area of Chicago. When they were first erected, many people thought they were odd, ugly and way too gay, but over the years I’ve grown to like them a lot and embrace their quirky, rocket like presence looming over us like trees in Lord of the Rings.
If these pylons could talk!
By the way, kudos for Time Out Chicago for making their whole issue go gay. It looks fabulous, especially the cover of the handsome young blond man spraying us with his hose and cooling us from the summer heat.
We’re hoping to do interviews from the Mark Twain Hotel in San Francisco and plan on getting as many of the folks from Trannyshack on the show in person, talking about the queer legacy of San Francisco, Harvey Milk, the Coquettes and what it means to the rest of the world. But, we need your support to help make it happen. It’s just around the corner so please give a helping hand.
We’re trying to raise approximately $2820.00 in the next two weeks to cover the costs of the trip and repair our recording equipment to make it happen. Will you help?

On today’s show we’re having a blast with our good friends Michael Lehet and Tracy Tyler.
McCain’s is SO not “hot.” Although the Arizona Senator said he would never launch an attack ad during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign, McCain broke his promise and last week aired an anti-Obama ad criticizng the Illinois Senator as “too famous” to become president, comparing him to vapid celebutants Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
The only problem here is, both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton’s family are well known Republican party contributors, including an $80,000 contribution from the Hilton Clan last year to McCain’s campaign.
Fundraising rule #1- don’t insult your donors. Thank them.
When Grandpa Hilton got a word of it, he blew a fuse, and heads have been rolling down at the Republican party headquarters. And that my friends, is hot.
Montauk Monster! Have the Hamptons found it’s own “chupacabra?” Last week Gawker blog posted a weird photo of something resembling a hairless raccoon that washed up on the beach of the town know for being a playground for the wealthy and ridiculous.
Many are speculating it’s a sea turtle without its shell, an escaped government experiment, an alien or a fake. Still many are all excited speculating on what it is, even though the carcass itself is missing. Who knows even if this photo was taken in the Hamptons at all?
Remember the 44 lb. overweight cat that went missing a week ago? Many thought that it was curtains for Princess Chunk, the chubby but lovable cat that surprised everyone by disappearing from her home in New Jersey.
Well it turns out Princess Chunk was a dude all along, a cat named Powder, just like our loveable Tracy! A happy ending for P-Chunk, as he/she will now be living in a happy home, thanks to the media attention, our chubby tabby will be living with a new family. I can hear happy purrs already.
Michael Lehet has been writing lately on new technology on his blog and brought over the cool new Cinemizer. It’s exciting but a little hard on the eyes.
Described by the company as “your take-along personal video screen. In the future, you’ll be able to watch any movie stored on your iPod anywhere.” Today it’s just an annoying to use, funny looking gadget.
I’ll leave it to your colorful imaginations the possible uses of this new technology, but let’s just say it still a long way from a fully-functional Star Trek style holodeck.
Speaking of which, Sept. 1 is the last day of the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas, which we’re hoping to attend for the podcaster’s conference. What’s replacing it? Michael Jackson’s theater. Did we mention we need your help?
A burst of flavor in every byte- Feast of Fools.
