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 Fernós 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.

We need your help! We’re trying to get our butts to San Francisco and Las Vegas and right now our ability to pay for the trip alone is woefully low. So we’re pulling out a nice bottle of wine, and all stops to bring you the wildest podcast we can. Help us make this trip happen!
We need approximately $2820.00 in the next two weeks to cover the costs of the trip and repair our recording equipment to make it happen. Won’t you help us?
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.

Oh happy day! Paris Hilton is in prison, and now the world is again safe. If we could now catch Osama Bin Laden, it would be a good week.
We’re not sure if Paris Hilton deserves her misery, or her fans. Anyone who drinks and drives, and then continues to do so under a suspended license, and CAN afford not to do so deserves some “special attention.”
We thought bloggers who stalk celebrities were going to go mum on the subject, but at the last minute Perez Hilton posted his namesake’s mug shot on his site. Good for you P.H.!
Join Miss Ronnie, Marc and me, Fausto as we talk about coconuts as a renewable fuel, scary HIV stories from the Netherlands, and why we just love love love coffee and alcohol. (more…)
So far this is the best moment from the 2010 Oscars, Ben Stiller dressed up...
