Miss Ronnie VannaRonnie is getting excited! She’s been voting every day for the Feast of Fools for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards. I know this may sound repetitive, but did you hear? We’ve been nominted for TWO awards, including the top award “People’s Choice” also referred to as the “Podcast of the Year.”

As of today, there are over 120,000 podcast feeds alone on feedburner which are more than the number of radio stations worldwide. We’re very proud to be nominated in the top ten podcasts in what’s considered by many in our industry as the “Oscars” of podcasting.

It’s the “People’s Choice” and just like American Idol, we need YOUR votes in order to win. Hollywood spends millions of dollars lobbying for an Oscar votes but we don’t have millions, we only have your generosity and goodwill and were counting on you deliver the vote.

Go to www.podcastawards.com and click on the large VOTE button to cast your daily vote.

Vote for Feast of Fools in the two categories: “People’s Choice” and “GLBT.” Be sure to check your email in case they want to validate your vote.

This is the first and only time a gay-themed program has been nominated for the top award and we are thrilled to stand neck-in-neck with all the People’s Choice Podcast Awards nominees.

Why should Jennifer Hudson be the only one to represent Chicago’s finest? We are up against some stiff competition, including the “Catholic Insider” which is the Vatican’s unofficial podcast. We don’t want to be “Brokebacked” at the awards. We really want the gays to win this time.

Please post a message on your MySpace page, blog, make a YouTube video asking people to vote for us, or email it to everyone you know! Voting ends on Saturday, and these last couple of days make all the difference.

Superhunk Chris EvansSuperhunk actor Chris Evans is way under appreciated as one of the sexiest men in Hollywood. We just caught the sci-fi thriller “Sunshine” where he easily outshines the sun itself as the hottest thing in the movie! Yeow.

My opinion is that actors should always be looking for creative ways to expand their repertoire by taking on unconventional roles. You can see where I’m going with this. Chris Evans should get into doing gay adult films in order to show he’s cool with doing a Brokeback role. Who knows? He just might get an Oscar for showing off his amazing wang. I’ve seen pictures of it, I know I have. Can anyone post a (not safe for work) link in the comments?

Thanks to Distorted View and Rock And Roll Geek Show for helping us spread the word! As well as That Blue Jeans Guy and Rckt Man. Thanks to everyone who’s helping!

    If there was no such label as gay or homosexual in Lincoln’s time… then who or what was the so called bible referring to 2000 years ago when it condemned them?

    Miss Ronnie: Weapon of Ass Destruction!

    When you mentioned Chris Evans, at first I thought you mean this guy:

    I am seeing Sunshine this weekend. I was going to anyway but now with the extra bonus of Chris Evans how can I resist. Another great show today. Love to hear Miss Ronnie. I voted today.

    The attack on the gay gamer website i was there when it happnd. Gaygamer.net was the site that was attacked the chat was flooded with the same stuff. On a lighter note! sweet baby jesus Chris Evans is fine! especially when he came out in Not Another Teen Movie with nothing but whipped cream on his chest, package, and rear end!

    Welcome back Miss Ronnie!!! I missed you…

    My American History professor spent a lecture talking about the oddities of the founding fathers, and he discussed the likelihood that George Washingtong was a hermaphrodite. George apparently couldn’t grow facial hair, had a high voice, had moobs (man boobs), and was sterile. In his 41 year marriage to Martha, he did not sire any children, even though she had four of her own from a brief previous marriage.

  7. RcktMan says:

    Sunshine sounded great when Ronnie was telling us about it the other day at the ice cream parlor… (HEY CLIFF!!! :) But I had no IDEA it featured the hottie hot hottie CHRIS EVANS. That man should NEVER WEAR A SHIRT. GOD he’s hot.

    I listened to the show last night at something like 2 in the morning… my neighbors must have hated me because I was laughing so damn hard. Oh well, if they don’t like it, tough. At least I was happy. :)

    OH and thanks for the shoutouts… I’m having a great time making more MiniBites… it gives me a chance to relive some really great hidden gems in the FoF library.

    Love ya’s.

  8. I have also been a great fan of Chris Evans since his role in *Not Another Teen Movie.* He couldn’t act to save his life, but with looks like his, does he really have to? Incidentally, according to his bio on IMDB, he is a vegetarian, which may be yet another incentive to make the lifestyle change.

    I’ve got two words for you. “Bitch please..”

  10. All that broken glass had me a little worried… I hope you didn’t cut yourself (with that pre-recorded “breaking glass” sound byte)! Or maybe that crazy Miss Ronnie really was smashing up your house??? I REALLY hope you win an award, so we don’t have to supply you with a first-aid kit…! Glass hurts!!! OUCH!

    (I also just saw Alejandro Jodorowski’s EL TOPO, which is now out on DVD… there’s this scene when the guy breaks the girl’s mirror and sticks the shards in his pocket, and then uses them to cut the master’s mother’s foot… very tricky!!!! Very resourceful!!! Maybe you should take some of those broken glass shards with you guys to Ontario, California–that cracks me up, living across the border from Ontario, Canada, as I do–and use them in case they give you trouble at them those Podcast Awards….)

  11. Larry! It’s so good to see your comments on the site! The glass breaking was stuck in after the fact. No glasses were hurt in the process.

    Wolfsburg03, Bitch please what??

    Hey Guys, Just a note on your discussion on whether people aregetting fatter in cold weather or not – just read about a research some scientists have done on why the Danes has gone fatter. One of the reasons (beside eating like pigs) was actually the better insulation in the houses which has made the body generate less heat and therefore burn less energy. Don’t wanna be Mr. Picky but thought you liked to know. Great show as always have an hour and a half hour on the train to work every morning and you really save the ride – oh and sorry for my miserable English.

  13. All this talk about Chris Evans–WHAT ABOUT CILLIAN MURPHY? He’s a brilliant actor who has, ladies and gents, played a tranny in a wonderful film called Breakfast On Pluto, and he played the sexy physicist in the movie. I’d love to hear what you guys think of him–better still, go see Breakfast On Pluto, it’s fantastic.

  14. mandarin says:

    aerodane is right… you need far more calories (think raw fatty seal meat) in cold environments to generate enough warmth. When it’s hot, you lose your appetite and your metabolic rate reduces. People on the roads become retarded too.

  15. Marc Felion says:

    We saw Breakfast on Pluto, and while Cillian sure is cute, he doesn’t do it for us like Chris.

  16. brain-fork says:

    What’s the deal with “The Secret?” It sounds like the concept is to put yourself into a self imposed delusion… it’s not very healthy. Sure positive thinking is a wonderful tool, but “living as if your goal has already been accomplished” is just insane.

    And Cillian Murphy is GOD!!!

  17. It’s not a delusion. The concept of “The Secret” is the ultimate in creative thought.

    It is saying to the Creative Source in the Universe that the dream one has formulated is now being released so that it can be brought into manifestation.

    The dreamer no longer imposes control on where, when, and in what form the dream manifests, but trusts that it is being done.

    This teaching appears in the majority of the world’s spiritual practices in some form or another.
