What a coup! You finally got RuPaul to come on the show. Its a damn she didn’t come on sooner. Only the FOF crew could pull this off.

RuPaul was a fantastic interview! Love it! I like the way the interview was done, so personal like I was on the phone too, I just wish I could have chimed in … oh well. I hope RuPaul comes back in the future to let us FOFr’s know how he is doing.

A fantastic interview guys. I love getting to see the real person underneath all the glamor. Somehow, seeing the ordinary person underneath makes the star seem even more fabulous.

RuPaul was fantastic. I hope you get to interview him again soon!

Thanks for another great show.

RuPaul is just so gorgeous. What a charming person. We’ve never heard her in an interview before but never would have guessed she would have been as unassuming and delightful as she is here.

She has some very interesting ideas and philosophies and I have to admit that it got me thinking about a few things. Very refreshing.

Now I’ve got to get the DVD. It sounds really fabulous.

Thank you for introducing Starrbooty to us and for bringing us RuPaul and all her delicious sassiness.

Kisses from Brisbane, Australia

Congratulations on a really good show. Listening to you interview RuPaul really brought a smile to my face.

Regarding the incident with Mr. Television, I was in Japan at the time watching the award show with a Japanese family that sort of adopted me while I was there. They didn’t get the joke or the “witty repartee.” They didn’t understand that RuPaul was a female impersonator.

But I agree with RuPaul. That is ancient history.

Useless in the normal course of everyday life. Like, Kowing that a cat in China can mew it’s own name fun to know – but useless in day to day living…

I didn’t understand this concept of… “sometimes useless.” Are you trying to say some things that uttered on the show is… not valid in the real world?

Hi Fausto & Marc

Although I am not an active member of the fof community, I am a long time fan. I have been listening since Dec 2005, and I probably have heard almost every show since then! Without you guys, my life would be a whole lot more boring, void of a lot of incredible (and sometimes uselss) information, and basically a lot less interresting

This show, however, must be one of the highlights of all!
Congrats on reaching this milestone.
Rupaul is amaizing!
Keep on going & working it…..

Wow! I really have to go get the DVD I want to see this movie! I loved how you guys got here to give you the “You better work” for the Feast of Fools, I could tell you two where floored when she did it!

Go FoF the last dozen of shows have been AMAZING!!!

Bisous…

One thing Ru said that i found ironic. She bitched about the “the youth and that all they are worried about are their Ipods” but when you asked her about her Ipod it was like….” i’ve got 17,000 songs on my 160gb ipod….” I mean thats like bitching about tv rotting our minds when you’ve got your TIVO filled when your shows. I don’t think the youth are the only ones that are obsessive about their Ipods. I mean the 160 gb ipod just came out in September. I just think that it is an easy thing for everyone to bitch about “the youth of today” being all bad and stuff its just not fair. No bad going out to her i love Ru but that comment just bugged me.

We saw the movie yesterday night, and it was really funny! And I’m very picky when it comes to drag queens in movies. I smell a cult classic! Russ Meyer and John Waters would be proud.

This was one of my most favorite shows ever!!! I just Saw RuPaul in San Diego and she was incredible! Thanks for bringing her to us, and thanks RuPaul for being on the FOF! Oh and when she was in SD I got Starbooty and it was hilarious! Great soundtrack!

Fantastic show! So great to hear Ru’s thoughts on Shirley Q Liquor. Intent is everything, and I never felt that Shirley was coming from a place of hate. The tyranny of political correctness can be as stifling and limiting intellectually as the tyranny of racism. free your minds and allow yourself to laugh.

They get it right in Avenue Q – everyones a little bit racist, and if we understood that and give each other a break we would get so much farther along in the quest to really just live together in some kind of harmony.

I have an autographed photo of Ru that I got from her back in the day at a small concert in Salt Lake City, it’s framed and hanging in the little toilet alcove in my bathroom. It makes me smile every time I see it.

Love StarrBooty! Love Ru! She was here for Pride in Indy, was it two years ago?, in the Rain. All those hot boys we and writhing around, gyrating,… well you’ know boys and water.

Wasn’t it also RuPaul who said on your show that there was a time when America was brighter as a nation? As in more enlightened, accepting and aware – and that things were somewhat reverting these days… Sometimes I think the very same thing is true about Norway (and large parts of Europe in general.) The voting turnout in most Western democracies have decreased dramatically, to an extent where many researchers say it may actually be a threat to democracy in itself.

During WWII many of the world’s democracies was under great pressure and in fact put aside completely for years. Right after the war ended the voter turnout was at its highest, which could only be seen as a healthy sign of a democracy. Maybe we had more enlightened people back then? Maybe large disasters make us rethink and reflect on our values and what’s good and important in life?

Fantastic show!!! I had been hearing you call Shirley Q a black faced commedian, and I thought that it was a figure of speech. I’ve known of Shirley Q For years, but only through cips found online. She sounds so authentic, it never occured to me she might be white. Now that I know I had to figure out if I still thought the routines were funny. And god love Ru for keeping it real. It is funny, and I told myself to quit being so serious. I’m going to buy the Starbooty dvd and soundtrack tonight.

I wish RuPaul could become a regular on the show. I kept this saved up for two days before I listened to it – I really wanted to cheer myself up.

And I agree with what was said here earlier – R. is SO down to earth! I think that may be one of the best features in a human being ever.

What a great show…everyone was right on with questions and RuPaul is a great interview! One of the best!

Thank you so much for having RuPaul on your show! I think it has been one of my favorite shows to date. What a great insight to learn that on one hand RuPaul has incredible well thought out insights and understanding of gay social issues, and on the other hand can talking about how he loves sucking cock. How fabulous it is to be gay! It was also great learning more about RuPaul, since I was coming out while “Supermodel” was being released and it brings back great memories of coming out and the joy of being able to accept myself.

This was a really good show. Hearing RuPaul speak so intelligently about fans, fame and taking off the frock for a while was a pleasure.

I didn’t know who RuPaul was until fairly recently – one of the downsides of living in Australia (and under a rock!) – so it’s fantastic to be able to get to know her a little better through you guys. Thank you!

One of my happiest memories in high school was riding in a car with my friends, one of whom was a big flaming gay boy, and singing or lip syncing to “Supermodel”. RuPaul, you were my introduction to gay life, and this was long before Elton or Ellen came out of the closet. Thanks for being there, girl! I love you!

This interview with RuPaul went muuuuuuch better than the first attempt.
I think I know what I’m gonna purchase with my Amazon.com gift certificates.
