Let’s all go to Steamworks! On today’s show we pick up our microphones and head on down to the sexiest place on earth- Steamworks gym sauna and baths to put on a show.
Listen to hilarious performances by comedians Keith Ecker, Adam Guerino and Bill Cruz plus musical guests Tracy Tyler and Phil Putnam!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like inside of a men’s bath house, this is the show for you.
We have fun jokes, raunchy humor and questions from you the audience.
Sad news- Scarlett, a gay bar in Chicago, caught on fire early Friday morning. Many may remember Scarlett as the Gentry, the piano bar fixture on Halsted Street. There is a benefit for the employees of Scarlett at Cocktail tonight so if you are going out, go out for a good cause.
Beyonce announced her single ladies video contest. If you can get the choreography down pat you might win $2,500 and your video will air during her concert.
Rosie O’Donnell confessed on the Tyra Banks show that she gave up the booze after her son Parker told her she drinks too much. We really enjoyed watching Rosie crack open a beer and spill her guts on her video blog and now she’s not drinking or video blogging.
British Airline Executive suggests charging for bathrooms on flights, mermaid amputee dreams coming true and sitting on cakes for equality.

I simply can’t stop looking at Maskon.com, one of my all-time favorite websites.
Mask-on is a support site dedicated to trannies who like to “mask.” “Maskers” enjoy cross-dressing as women by using masks instead of make-up to create the illusion.
They don’t really try to fool anyone into thinking they are actual flesh and bones women, but rather they create a look that resembles a living mannequin.
One of my favorites from the photo gallery is Carolyn, who has been cross dressing since the Kennedy Administration and enjoys walks in the park in full masked-up drag. Imagine running into her strolling though the woods!
Many maskers simply repaint a rubber Halloween mask which gives them a very creepy Michael Myers look from the movie Halloween. It’s haunting, scary and very very beautiful.
On today’s show Tracy Tyler gets inspired by the maskers and does her own style from a crude Whole Foods paper shopping bag. I think the look is ravishing, don’t you?
Listen as we talk about Tracy’s favorite YouTube cosmetologist, Clay Aiken’s maybe soon-to-be fatherhood status, molestation syndrome and “My Beautiful Mommy”- the unsettling book that tries to explain plastic surgery to children.
I still think the title should have been “Mommy Looks a Little Different Now In Order to Please Daddy and Save Our Marriage.”
Whether you’re in drag or wearing a paper bag, we’re here for you- Feast of Fools.

Spring is just around the corner and we have our pretty song bird Tracy Tyler here to chirp away the winter blues.
Our suburban trannie gal pal is here to share the hot new spring fashion trends and stories of hair do mishaps and wild sex!
Now, Tracy’s sex stories are all true, but they all follow a similar pattern: unusual guy meets trannie gal, hilarity ensues.
We’re turning to you the listener with a special Tracy Tyler Sexy Story contest! Listen to today’s show for details.

Is there a vast left-handed conspiracy in the U.S goverment?
Did you know that over 50 percent of our presidents have been lefties or that same-sex oriented folks and creative leadership types are more likely to be left handed? What’s the correlation?

Michael Phelps gets caught going down on a bong. Follow-up, he apologizes for it and his sponsors forgive him.
Google Earth helps Swiss cops find a stash of ganja. And you thought nobody was looking at you when you sunbathed nude on the roof of your home.

Christmas is the season for stalking hot men! Tracy loves to seek hunky men from her past on the internet, and sometimes it gets her into trouble. Some call it cruising, some call it social networking and others call it stalking.
Tracy also reveals how she once broke up with a guy by dumping him off at a cruisy truck stop in the middle of nowhere.
Tracy shares with us some home beauty regimens — you can eat! Tracy is coming up with all sorts of natural beauty treatments, most of which are edible. Even if you may not be any prettier at the end of the procedure, at least your tummy will be full!
A Harry Potter exhibit at the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago this spring features props from the popular movie series. You’ll be able to gaze at Harry’s glasses, some magical brooms and other bewitching items starting April 30.
Also, the Museum of Broadcast Communications is going down the toilet after honoring fundamentalist radio personality James Dobson. The MBC board of directors voted to sell its half-finished building citing financial woes due to the economic downturn and alleged broken promises by Gov. Rod Blagojevich to provide funding.
On Saturday night, we went to the Chicago premier of the new film Were the World Mine, which is a very gay musical take on some of the elements of Shakespear’s A Midsummer Nights Dream.
The plot revolves around the gay outsider, Timothy, who is cast as the mischievous Puck in all boys production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The magic of Shakespear’s play allows him to conjure up a love potion that turns the town gay, including the straight jock he has a crush on. Of course, hijinks ensue with very sexy results.
For calling itself a musical, there really isn’t a whole lot of music in it but it’s still a delightfully cute romp nonetheless.
Listen as we chat about a Flint Michigan Man who gets his car stolen in an unusual way and the death of two entertainment legends- 1950s pin up pioneer Betty Page and Golden Age Hollywood hunk Van Johnson.

Gobble gobble! What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with Tracy Tyler, our fabulous trannie gal pal from the suburbs of Chicago.
Tracy’s here to find the true meaning of Thanksgiving- is it being grateful? friends? Family? Or is it the food?
Listen to today’s show for some fabulous new ideas on preparing the classic Thanksgiving dinner!
We dressed up as pandas for the local marriage equality protest to have a little fun and to stay warm. Yes, marriage and equality is a serious business but we still like to have fun and who doesn’t love a panda?
Here were are posing with a Defend Equality poster designed by Shepard Fairey, who designed the famous Obama Hope print. Thanks to Steamworks for printing them.
People loved the signs and I’ve got more that I’ll bring to the monthly organizing meeting of the Gay Liberation Network on Wednesday, December 3 – 7 – 9 PM at the Gerber Hart Library, 1127 W. Granville Street, Chicago (just ½ block west of the “Granville” Red Line el stop). Come and get involved in your rights!
Join us as we chat about Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin talking turkey while a gruesome scene right out of Fargo unfolds in the background, beer that saves lives but tastes nasty, Jerusalem syndrome in Asian zoos, Tracy’s new European flavored sex adventures and Michael Jackson converts to Islam. Has the King of Pop traded in his sequined glove for a burqua?
Plus, we’ve got new t-shirts out! Check out our lovely Feast of Fools “Celebration” Red on Black t-shirts. They are printed in discharge inks (so it’s part of the garment) which have a cool, comfy fuzzy feel. Limited run, order yours now for the holidays.
It’s okay to go for seconds when listening to the Feast of Fools.

Is gay marriage a poorly worded civil rights issue? Tracy certainly thinks so, but we’re not so sure.
Bombs are in the air as Guy Ritche and Madonna officially launch their Cold War, accusing each other of manipulation, abuse and espionage. But isn’t it like rich celebrities to think world cares as much about their pain and suffering as they do? It’s a divorce, not a war.
Sarah Palin gets flummoxed by a 3rd grader who asked her what the job of a Vice President entails. Yeah, Palin got it wrong.
Australian woman diagnosed with rare disease and we wonder if she could be a mermaid? Maybe not, but she sure smells like it.

We are too excited! The special “What Not to Wear” Feast of Fools mashup TV show airs this Friday on TLC and we cant decide what to wear for the viewing party at Hydrate in Chicago from 7-9 PM.
Everybody’s favorite trannie on the internet Tracy Tyler joins us today to share her saucy stories of networking on the highway of love. Yes, Tracy always seems to find herself in the most unusual romantic circumstances. Just how does she do it?
October 11th was National Coming Out Day so we give some advice to a long time listeners who’s struggling to come out while serving as a police officer in NYC. The problem isn’t just coming out for him, but he’s having a hard time figuring out how to recover from the lies he told to keep him in the closet. Listen to the show out what depths some people will go to keep their sexuality a secret.
Princess Sarah Palin? Just weeks away from the election, genealogists have released the lineage of the tyrant from the tundra, Sarah Palin- she’s the tenth cousin of Princess Diana. The sudden release of these type of news sound like desperation to me. If you dig deep enough, everyone is related to somebody important. Did you also know that Barak Obama is distant cousin to Hollywood mega-hunk Brad Pitt?
Plus questions from you our listeners answered via Tracy’s Psychic abilities- Should I date this cute boy in my high school? How do I get my partner to become more adventurous? And why is the 1979 special needs romance movie “Like Normal People,” starring Linda Purl and Shaun Cassidy so important in the fight for gay rights?
Tell your mama to vote for Obama!

We’ve got a special delivery for you today! Tracy Tyler joins us to talk about the new Bette Davis Stamp released by the US. Postal Service.
The legendary Hollywood actress will be honored on September 18, 2008 on the 100th anniversary of her birth as a postage stamp in the Legends of Hollywood Series stamps.
Our lovely gal-pal Tracy generously lent her vocal talents to record a public service announcement for the post office. Listen to the plug on today’s show. It’s based on the scratchy 1980s song by Kim Karnes, “Bette Davis Eyes.”
I asked my mom when I was a kid why Kim Karnes had such a raspy sounding voice and she said “it’s because she smokes.”
Listen to today’s show as Tracy reveals her new Lightning Diet- lose weight in a flash by being struck by lightning. It will literally melt the fat right off you.
The British Giant Penis Man needs your help! The enormous ancient chalk drawing on the British countryside is overrun with vegetation. Government officials are asking for volunteers to do a little manscaping to clean up the spot. Usually grazing sheep do the trick but this year, the rain was so plentiful that the vegetation became so overgrown the sheep couldn’t keep up.
Dirty Politics- have the Republicans cornered the market on crazy in google ad buys? Marc was checking the gmail today and the paid for google link said something like “Biden opens his gaff-filled mouth” and he clicked on it to see what the VP nominee had said. But, the link led to an article that extolled the virtues and general “mommyness” of Sarah Palin. Joe Biden was not once mentioned in the article. Is this some kind of Republican Rickrolling?
Should queer teens have their own high school? Chicago School officials are now pondering the possibility of creating a high school where GLBT students can attend in safety. But the plan is drawing controversy from both inside and outside Chicago’s gay community. Some feel as though kids should be safe no matter which school they attend and others think that gay kids have a right to attend school in a shame free zone.
Talk about a show stopping performance! And we take our tiaras off and give a moment of silence to Texas drag queen Illean Alloverya (pronounced like the plant Aloe Vera) who tragically died towards the end of her final number during a recent AIDS benefit at the Dallas gay bar, the Eagle. What a way to go.
Every time you download the Feast of Fools, a drag queen gets her wig.
