FOF #810 – Glenn Knows Better
Standard Podcast [52:20m]:
Here's the latest in the tag sal-e
14 comments“On a scale from one to ten, just HOW GAY are you?” Imagine hearing this question from your roommate’s father, only he happens to be a famous and physically intimidating wrestler.
On today’s show choreographer Glenn Packard- the gay roomate of Brook Hogan from the reality TV show Brooke Knows Best talks about being asked about his sexuality by her famous father, the wrestler Hulk Hogan.
In case you missed it, the Hulkster got national press last week for not only asking her daughter’s openly gay roommate about his sexuality on their reality tv show, but for also admitting that some of his wrestling friends are gay. I wonder if it was the Iron Sheik?
So what happened after the conversation? Did Glenn ask Hogan just how straight he was on a scale from one to ten?
Glenn’s a pretty well known choreographer in the pop music scene and looks pretty good in a bathing suit. He’s really hot! Still, we’re dying to know what it was like working with Michael Jackson and Liza Minelli. Did Glenn teach Michael how to moonwalk forwards?
In many ways the popularity of Brooke Knows Best and other reality tv shows featuring primary or secondary gay people really opens up the minds of Americans embrace gay people as part of the family. Kudos to you Glenn!
We chat with Sal-E about some pretty far out underwear news as Queen Victoria’s bloomers just sold at auction at the sweet price of nine thousand dollars. But the more juicy detail is that the bloomers were crotchless. Naughty, naughty! Now we know where the name Victoria’s Secrets’ comes from.
It also interesting to note that Britain’s iconic queen’s measurements put her at five feet tall with a 66 inch waist! Now that’s a Butterball Turkey!
Meanwhile in Springfield, Ohio a creepy guy has been arrested for approaching children’s parents, pretending to be a children’s underwear inspector. Are people just that gullible?
How does a 44 lb. cat, possibly the world’s second largest house cat get lost? Poor tabby. It’s not like she could have run away. Princess Chunk, as they call her at her temporary shelter home will soon be available for adoption if the real owner doesn’t turn up.
A pile drive of flavor and fun- Feast of Fools.

FOF #809 – Happy Birthday Mr. E
Standard Podcast [43:46m]:
Sal-E has been dressing in costume and putting on make up everyday for the past seven days, in a row, just for your entertainment pleasure!
Poor guy! His pores are more clogged than lesbians shoes during a dutch dancing party! Clogged, clogged, I tells ya.
On today’s show Sal-E joins us to celebrate his 28th birthday, okay not really, but he did just have a birthday this past week. Listen as we twist his arm to reveal details of his up and coming perofmrnace at Halsted Street Market Days in Chicago. We’ll be there, will you?
Be sure to check out Sal-E Saturday, August 9th at the Hydrate Stage on the corner of Cornelia and Halsted, at 4pm. Sal-E never fails to amaze the crowds that show up to watch him work the stage in his unique, colorful costumes and makeup.
Real live joker gang wreaks havoc in the south side of Chicago. Do violent movies inspire real-life violence?
Finally a robot that just may understand the concept of love as British university announces the Heart Robot an emitobot that senses how it’s treated and reacts accordingly. If the robot is treated kindly it relaxes and goes limp. If it is treated violently it tenses up and its eyes widen. It’s reported that “Different children react to him very differently. They either want to hug and cuddle him, and look after him like a doll or baby, or they just want to scare him.”
The flooding of a Chinese Restaurant has brought scores of customers into the place. The owner planned on shutting down due to the catastrophe but the ankle deep water delighted the customers so much he stayed open. Waitresses are having a hard time filling orders as people flock to this unusual restaurant.
Say hello to CAN-doms, plastic beer cozies inspired by condoms. Are Candoms just a cheap novelty or do they promote safe drinking? Their main function is to act as beer cozy but some say they have a side effect of promoting sexual awareness. What do you think?

FOF #789 – The Rainbow Connection
Standard Podcast [1:11:13m]:
Taste the rainbow and we don’t mean Skittles!
Gay Season reaches it’s apex this Sunday as cities across the U.S. and abroad celebrate the modern gay rights movement by holding a Pride Parade.
Some may not know that the Parades commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Riots, a series of violent conflicts between queer folks and New York City cops that began on June 28, 1969 and lasted several days after the police raid of the Stonewall Inn gay bar.
The riots are seen as a critical turning point in the modern gay rights movement and helped galvanize people all across the U.S. to organize, protest and shape the future of sexual acceptance.
On today’s show Sal-E joins us to talk about his Muppet themed float for Green Dolphin Street bar in Chicago and follow up on all the drag queen drama happening these days.
If you’re going to the Pride Parade in Chicago hang out with us on the West side of Broadway, just South of Belmont, in front of the chili place. It’s shady there and you cna arrive to the parade late as it ends nearby!
Here are some pics of the parade in 2005, where we were trolling some hunky gay yuppie who was really enjoying watching the parade of hunks and skunks rolling on by.
Connell O’Donovan joins us for a phone interview to discuss the Mormon Church’s plan to aid the passing of a proposed amendment to the California constitution that will define marriage as the the union of a man to a woman.
Connell is a member of the support group “Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons” and a Mormon historian. He has written many works on Mormon history, including a history of homosexuality and Mormonism from 1840-1980 which is an interesting read.
O’Connell also shares with us his personal experience of growing up Mormon and the various ways they tried to change his and other people’s behaviors through such torturous methods as electroshock, vomit aversion, and exorcisms. They actually wanted to show him gay male porn and and give him a drug that would make him vomit and then later show him straight porn and give him a drug to experience euphoria. Can you believe it?
Drink Responsibly? You always hear those words of concern by liquor companies in ads, but we’re not sure what they mean by that. For many GLBT folks, our role with alcohol is a complex one, where bars bring us together, but for some the consumption of alcohol can ruin their lives.
How can we all have a healthier relationship with alcohol? How can we talk about drinking without pointing fingers?
Join me Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion and LifeLube, Project CRYSP, and the Chicago Task Force on LGBT Substance Use and Abuse at Sidetrack as we ponder these important topics in an alcohol friendly environment. Did I mention they serve purple slushy drinks? Yum.

FOF #771 – Leather and Lace
Standard Podcast [38:20m]:
IML, the International Mr. Leather conference came and went last week here in Chicago and we’re still recovering from the dizzying hurricane of leathermen, human dogs, bondage queens, otters, bears and furries!
There was two of every kind, and then some at this sexual menagerie of all kinds of fetishes last weekend.
The colorful sexual diversity expo included forced feminization, lovingly demonstrated by Marc Felion on listener RuffnStuff in this YouTube video from the event.
On today’s show we’re talking with Sal-E about the sexual fetish expo that took place here in Chicago and how the internet has changed all our expectations of what is far out and kinky.
After seeing Two Girls One Cup video, nothing seems weird or extreme anymore and that is probably a good thing. Here’s a link to people’s reactions to the internet sensation. I won’t tempt you with the link to actual video but if you really want to watch it, you can find it easily enough. Once you’ve watched Two Girls One Cup, nothing at IML will shock you.
Once we’re able to see our sexual desires for what they really are and not layered in shrouds of mystery we can fully begin to enjoy life and sex for what it really is- pleasure and fun.
Click here to see photos from IML 2008 in Chicago.
We’ve also got some odd fashion news: a severed foot wearing a sneaker is found in Canada, again. It seems this is the fourth foot to wash ashore. We don’t know who is behind this gory aputating, presumably murderous spree, but it needs to stop.
Is Rachel Ray an Islamic jihadist or does she have bad fashion sense? It seems that some people are so upset that she is wearing something that looks like a Palestinian scarf that Dunkin Donuts had to pull the ad. Conservative Michelle Malkin said ‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’
Isn’t that outrageousness just wonderful? You can’t make stuff like that up. It is as if we are all sick of all these pro-jihad donut shops popping up everywhere.

FOF #757 – Pre-Cycling
Standard Podcast [54:23m]:
Everybody is going green these days, and I’m not talking about the incredible hulk! Whoo I’d love to be around the ONE time his pants finally ripped off when he transformed.
No, were talking about the environment. Green is no longer obscene, green is in. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the fashion world is going ga-ga over eco-friendly products, and here at the Feast of Fools, we’re keeping up with the trends.
Our web-hosting company is green and although we shun the color from the design of the site, we carry ecological concerns deep inside our hearts.
On today’s show Sal-E (pictured here on the right) comes to talk about ways you can become an eco-frinedly drag queen.
One concept we’re tossing out there is PRE-CYCLING. Re-cycling means to find a secondary use to materials or objects, to convert waste to useable materials.
Why wait? Pre-cycling is the concept of finding use for an object before it’s indeded use comes to be. You heard it here first! PRE-CYCLING.
A man in South Chicago bought his own coffin and until the fateful day comes where he meets his maker, he’s going to use it as a beer cooler.
Bill Bramanti from the South Side of Chicago loves his Pabst Blue Ribbon beer so much, he had a coffin designed to look like the can. But before he’s buried in it, he’s filled it up with ice and regularly uses it as a beer cooler on the weekends.
On a darker note, two guys just got arrested for digging up a human corpse, cutting it’s head off and using the skull as a marijuana bong. I don’t know where to start with that one.
Join Sal-E, Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós today as we talk about those new concepts in ecological conservation, flogos- corporate logos in the sky and Barak Obama moving on as Hilary’s future as Democratic nominee becomes more and more uncertain.
Queers do find love! This week 70s rock icon Lou Reed got married to 80s performance icon Laurie Anderson in a private wedding.
Pictured here in this file photo making out with David Bowie, the bisexual 70s icon struggled once with his own homsexual desire and even conceded to receiving electroshock therapy to “cure” himself of being gay.
In many ways marrying lesbionic Laurie Anderson is a nice compromise, and she’s a fierce diva in her own right.
For those of you who don’t know about Laurie, she had a #2 British pop hit with her song “O Superman” in the 80s and pioneered much of the midi techonlogy found in modern music today.
She’s the innovator of the “tape-bow violin” a device that uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow and a tape head on the bridge of the violin to make freaky sounds onstage. I think these two make a beautiful couple.
Hats off to Matthew Pope! The Kansas State Shawnee Mission East class of ‘08 just elected their homecoming king and queen the same person. It’s openly gay Matthew Pope, co-captain of the cheerleading squad. Isn’t he adorable?
Every time he walks out on the court the kids erupt in cheers chanting “Pope! Pope! Pope!” The school goes nuts whenever he prerofrms his signature moves, a series of back flips across half the court. I’m sure he’s popular with the male atheltes as well. Ah progress!
Always lean, green and obscene- Feast of Fools.

FOF #753 – Cinco de Mayo Clinic
Standard Podcast [49:56m]:
Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody! Okay, so it’s a little hard to celebrate the Mexican equivalent of St. Patrick’s day, a drinking holiday, on a Monday, but bear with us.
Sal-E joins us to start off the show right with a pitch shifted, hi-NRG version of La Bamba. Then afterwards we serve up a little multicultural “es-spanish” lesson, Feast of Fools style.
One nice discovery we made while readying the karaoke music for today’s show is that all music sounds better if you pitch shift it up and speed it up. Try it!
In today’s busy world, we just don’t have time to listen to our audio/video content the same old “real time” way, now with quicktime you can speed things up and get your heart pumping and energy flowing.
Speeding up songs and pitch shifting them up is so much fun, I’m predicting that we’ll soon hear musicians on major labels release songs pitch shifted up to make everyone sound like chipmunks at 160 beats per minute.
Instead of “chimping” think “chipping” or “chipmunking” the song. You heard it here first.
In Chile, a mayor is handing out free Viagra to men 60 years of age and older. But, who are they going to screw? There wives are probably perfectly content to have not had sex in a while and the South American nation recently repealed giving out the “Morning After Pill” free to low income women. We are hoping that the Chilean tiny drag queen superstar “La Pequeña ” will intercede on behalf of these poor ladies.
Can’t you just imagine La Pequeña at a pharmacy demanding her free birth control, right after a night of reckless sex? Check her out in a hot blooper’s session of her la Pequeña Hillary Clinton video here on the right.
Join Sal-E, Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós as we follow-up on Sal-E’s baby fetish party and talk about suicide Disney style, when seals attack penguins and those dirty, dirty keyboards.
Please take a moment and spray your keyboard with some sanitizing wipes or windex on a rag to kill those nasty germs. Don’t ever spray anything directly on your computer.

FOF #748 – Teriyaki Sauced
Standard Podcast [53:09m]:
Sit tight! We’ve got a drag-queen filled, delicious roller coaster ride of podcasting for you today.
Sal-E’s best gal-pal Teri Yaki joins us to talk about why so many people love to claim a drag queen as their best friend, why drag queens fight so much with each other and the origins of his delicious name.
I met Kevin years ago when he was a bartender and had just moved from Detroit, Michigan. Back then, he considered himself to be a performance artist and identified as a bi-guy and was dating his college sweetheart cabaret singer Amy Armstrong.
Today Kevin lives with his partner Ray in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago and performs all over the city as Teri Yaki.
Teri Yaki is quite a hoot and she crashed the taping of our live podcast at Steamworks and managed to titillate the unshockable crowd by flashing his nuts through his fish net stockings.
Why did Teri Yaki pee on top of her friend one fateful night? Why did he get kicked out of the Eagle leather bar? Who will win the drag queen wars? All this and a “Cher-Off’ on today’s show.

FOF #745 – Adult Baby Party
Standard Podcast [55:05m]:
Waah! Sometimes you feel like a big baby and wish all you had to worry about was learning how to walk and when your next feeding will be. But let’s face it, the world of a child is a strange new world that can be very frightening.
Still many adults find pleasure in dressing up as babies, which of course makes for a hilarious sexual fetish. Nothing makes me giggle more than to see a grown man crawling around on all fours asking for his bottle.
Infantalism- a perfect theme for a nightclub party! This Saturday, Sal-E and his gang of hot male dancers are dressing up as adult babies for the “Baby Boom” party at Circuit in Chicago. Bring your pacifiers, onesies and rattles and plan on being pampered in service, literally.
On today’s show Sal-E joins us to talk today about shaping your body in strange fancy ways, like making your booty a little more plump by padding it.
Our favorite erotic men’s clothing catalog International Male, sells a wonderful pair of underwear that allows you to pad your butt and shape your body in a category called “Problem Solvers.”
The only problem is that the model doesn’t come with the underwear. Damn! These guys are fine. Now if you want to make your form a little more feminine you can always buy the Fredrick’s of Hollywood version. You go girl!
A man dressed like a ninja is bragging about spreading HIV to the ladies in a bizarre YouTube video. Although his account has been suspended, other people have reposted it. He rolls of a list of girl’s names like he’s reading them out of a high school yearbook. I don’t think the guy is for real, but if he called your name out, you should probably get tested anyway.
We know you’ve heard of the Flying Nun TV show but please be on the lookout for a floating priest who has been lost over the Atlantic. In a stunt to raise money for a spiritual center at a truck stop, Father de Carli took the air in a chair attached to a huge column of green, red, white and yellow balloons
We also chat about a dog’s amazing journey home, an eight foot alligator found in Florida kitchen, what kind of nasty fetishes turn Sal-E off and we tip our hats to the work of Rudy Ray Moore and Redd Fox- who paved the road for so many rappers, podcasters and comedians.
