FOF #904 – Incredibly Strange Christmas Music
Standard Podcast [56:13m]:
Christmas music connects us to a sense of childhood wonder bot it can also drive us mad!
On today’s special eggnog flavored Feast of Fools we’re taking you sleigh ride of crazy as we play for you some of the most insane, scary, offensive and over the top Christmas themed music.
We’ve got singing animals, fascist robots who want to wish you a merry Christmas, music by homeless people, drag queens, people who want to have sex with Santa and songs about why we love to be miserable during the holidays.
Also joining us to celebrate the bizarre Christmas music is our good pal, blogger Rick the Rocketman Aiello. He’s blogged about Christmas music people actually enjoy, so I thought it might be fun to hear him react to our F-list collection of music.
This show is not for children. It’s mostly in poor taste, but the second half gets a little raunchy, so please don’t let kids listen to the second half of the show.
If you’re looking for a good, cheap holiday last minute gift, why not buy all the music featured here and make a trashy Christmas mix CD for your friend?
This is our last live recorded show of the year, but we’ll still be posting regularly on the site lots of yummy goodies and classic podcast episodes you’ve probably forgotten about, or never heard. Thank you for a great 2008!

FOF #873 – Yes We Did!
Standard Podcast [46:21m]:
Yes we can people, yes we did! Voter anxiety was alleviated yesterday as the nation electad its first black President, the Senator from Illinois Barack Obama. We are thrilled.
Marc and I decided to get into the thick of it, celebrating the victory, surrounded by over a million supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago. History tends to draw a big crowd.
A huge and diverse crowd gathered to celebrate the victory and to hear the President-Elect drive home his message in his optimistic catchphrase “yes we can.”
Has “yes we can” replaced “oh no she didn’t?”
Marc described the event as a real-life fairy tale come true, and Senator John McCain was very gracious in his defeat. It almost felt like the whole event was coordinated. Did Barack Obama and John McCain coordinate their acceptance speeches or politics as usual?
Listen as our friends Rick Aiello and Garett Rock share their thoughts on what soon to be First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey wore. Boy did they stand out! Let your true colors shine through, even if they are Christmas red and parrot green. I personally can’t wait until the Obamas move into the White House.
Scientists work hard to clone extinct animals with hopes of resurrecting long extinct species.

FOF #859 – Project Presidency
Standard Podcast [52:19m]:
Obama and McCain battled it out in the third and final debate of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election while Bravo television aired the episode where they announce the winner of Project Runway.
So now we’re confused. Did McCain get “auffed” and is Leanne going to be our next president?
We’re all wondering which show got the higher ratings since it feels like our elections have become a reality TV show.
Who will win Project Presidency?
On today’s show two fabulous Chicago queer bloggers join us to judge the candidates- Michael Lehet, from the Chicago Examiner and Rick Aiello from The Launching Pad.
But, the real debate of the day is who would you rather date? Prince William or Harry? One third of gay men polled wanted Harry and 23% said William but a full third also said they wouldn’t touch either of them.
Did the Feast of Fools tribute video to Madonna’s “Four Mintues” send her over the edge and announce her divorce to husband Guy Ritiche? There she goes reinventing herself into a single lady again.
Elton John reveals his preferred ice cream flavor of choice— it’s not something you’d want to eat, but it’s delicious.
Does greed cause gayness in Uganda? According to Bishop Luzinda the quest for money will make you fall in love with someone of the sex, well, that’s not how he put it exactly.
An Ohio man claimed that he was too fat to die by lethal injection. Unfortunately, the courts didn’t believe him.
Oregon man, Thad Starr grew a great big 1,528 pound pumpkin. The pumpkin grew an average of thirty pounds a day!
Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton is doing what he can for the McCain/Palin ticket by naming his baby daughter Sarah McCain Palin. We’re not sure what the wif thinks of it yet but he did it behind her back.
Although the word is still out if Ellen Degeneres (one of the wealthiest gay women in old media) is putting her money where her mouth is and donated any money to fight for marriage equality in California. Her lovely mom Betty DeGeneres has pulled out the coffee can and pitched in $700.
With great respect to one of the great talk show hosts and boldest gay icons of our time, this is way too little. Come on Ellen, Portia and mom! We know you can donate a little more.
What did you do today to help defeat Prop 8? You know it’s time to do something to defeat this proposition – donate money or canvass the streets. Do whatever you can but do something! Even if you’re broke, you can donate a lucky amount of money, how about $7 to the cause?

FOF #814 – Tornado Warning
Standard Podcast [51:33m]:
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.
Feast of Fools- get it while it’s hot!

FOF #775 – Unusual Beauty Treatments
Standard Podcast [1:03:45m]:
Every now and then you have one of those golden moments that just make you so happy that you feel golden and everything you touch is shiny and golden.
These moments are rare like the unexpected phone call inviting you to a fabulous event or a card from a long lost love trying to reconnect. For me, I had that golden moment when a received an email asking if I’d like to interview someone who bleaches people’s private parts for a living.
Yes, I’m that easy to please. But that is not all that Enrique of Face to Face NYC spa does. He also offers a full range of beauty treatments and products for men and he talks with us about what you can do to stay fabulous and looking good.
Rick Aiello joins us to talk about all sorts of odd news, celebrity gossip and we revisit Rick’s latest research project.
Poor Ed McMahon! After a bad accident that left him unable to work, the bills have started piling up. He sure could use one of those giant million dollar checks that he use to pass out as pitchman for the American Family Publishers’ sweepstakes.
He even wants to sell his $6.2 million dollar home in Los Angeles to alleviate his financial burden but he’s having problems putting it on the market because he lives so close to tragic superstar Britney Spears. The street is usually littered with paparazzi waiting for the singer to do something crazy.
A group of Australian scientists this week announced a possible new treatment to prevent the spread of HIV in men. What’s it made from? Female hormones. Yeow!
After analyzing tissue samples from men’s foreskins (a hobby many gay men enjoy doing on their own) the researches found that oestriol, an estrogenic compound already found in women’s skin cream blocks entry of the HIV virus by creating what they call a “living condom” by building up superficial layer of cells.
The fascinating thing is the cream used in the study is already being used by millions of women for the last 30 years as a standard treatment for post-menopausal vaginal atrophy. Not sure what that means, but it sounds like it could use a little cream.
The podcast that is so tight, it makes Jocelyn Wildenstein’s face look like a stretched out old trampoline- Feast of Fools.
