Don’t mess with a Mariah Carey fan! They will cut you.
A Naples Florida guy and his alleged girlfriend were listening to the music by the star of Glitter when another car pulled up alongside at an intersection and shouted the fan a derogatory name for grooving to her music.
You can probably guess what was said that quickly turned this cat-fight into a mile-and-a-half shouting match, ending with the Mariah Carey fan throwing a beer bottle back at the non-Mariah loving car, hitting the driver in the head.
Some people will go to any lengths to defend their diva and avoid being called gay.
First there was the Asian Tsunami, then Hurricane Katrina and now there’s the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China. As the stories and numbers of all these global disasters pile up, Americans seem to mentally give up and turn away from donating to these international causes.
Charities call it donor fatigue, but Lisa Tolin, an AP writer calls it “Disaster Fatigue” the psychological condition that people exhibit when the problem seems insurmountable, they give up.
“The more bad news there is, the less likely people may be to give.”
So while people are literally starving around the world, decadent New York city restaurants are drumming up publicity desperately by offering a $175 burger, garnished with truffles and gold leaf. Mmmm gold.
You see this dumb stunt being done from time to time. Some business offers an everyday item at an exhorbitant price, and they throw in rare, expensive and unecessary items just for the shock value.
Not to be left out of the loop, we’re offering our very own diamond covered Feast of Fools t-shirt (made with cruelty-free, vegan diamonds) for the low low price of 7.7 million dollars. Cheap!

The Vatican has been huffing a little too much of its own incense. They are saying it’s ok to belive in aliens. You go girl!

This past week their cheif astronomer, the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes said that the “vastness of the universe means it’s possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.”
Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like “putting limits” on God’s creative freedom.
So it’s okay to believe in aliens but not faeries.
Its okay for this centuries old cult, who’s had a history of stopping scientific and intellectual progress, even imprisoning astronomers like Galileo, to suddenly embrace the possibility that E.T. might be a Jesus loving freak just like them.
Are they dipping their toe in the waters of modernity? Is this large religious body examining the possibility of looking beyond their scripture, maybe even embracing our own sexual diversity as a good thing?
Listener Grizzly put it best in our forum: “Are aliens what God created on that day when he was supposed to rest, but got bored and doodled around a bit in the margins?”
If you live in New Orleans and love to dress up in drag and look good, stay away from the Burger King. A six-foot, 180 lbs drag queen wearing a necklace that perfectly matcher her dress robbed a Burger King in “The City that Care Forgot” last week, by climbing out the takeout window.
Police speculate that the robber was a “genuine” drag queen and not some guy hiding behind a weird costume because his outfit was so well put together. Her necklace matched her dress.
Oh cabin fever, spring fever. As the city of Chicago gets invaded by thousands of leather men, rubber fetishists and human dogs you can’t help but speculate the origins of all this sexual diversity and intensity.
We think it has something to do with chilly weather.
As T.S. Eliot said in his legendary poem: “April is the cruelest month.” What he means by that phrase is that springtime is not only a time of reawakening, it’s a way to let the sexual being inside you flourish. That is great when you have someone or someplace to flourish with, but if you’re stuck in a bad place, you gotta let that heat out somehow.
We think places where people spend a lot of time indoors may have a factor in nurturing the freak inside. But that really doesn’t explain people in sunny warm California, so go figure.
I do, I do, I do believe in angels, devils, aliens and faeries, I believe in the Feast of Fools, I believe in crystal light because I believe in me!

Ever wonder what Amanda Steinstein was like in high school? Pretty much the way she was today. Surprise surprise!
Join us for a very special Feast of Fools as Amanda is reunited twenty years later with her high school gal pal Louise who has since become a man named Lukas.
Lukas compares discovering what his true gender to being hit by a truck. A bit violent perhaps, but we get his drift- it was a irreconcilable life changing awakening that he really had to be a guy.
We talk with Lukas about what happened to the butch dykes and sissy nellies of yesteryear? Is trans just a better way of explaining the same idea or what? We laugh when Lukas calls bull dykes antiques as thought the term has become obsolete.
Of course, Amanda is still hung up about the pregnant man and thinks that is strange to be pregnant and be called a man.
Did Louise have a crush on Amanda in high school and does Lukas have one on her today?
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Blossoming every day into a beautiful bouquet of flowers- Feast of Fools.

Give me and F! Give me an O! Give me another F! What does that spell? A-W-E-S-O-M-E P-O-D-C-A-S-T.
I know it’s a bit much, but bear with me. On today’s show we’re cheering our little lungs out for pride, yes, pride because California’s Supreme Court declared that gay couples in the nation’s most populous state can marry– a monumental victory for the gay rights movement Thursday that was greeted with tears, hugs, kisses and at least one instant proposal of matrimony.
We have MUCH to celebrate. It’s always exciting to see the dominoes of gay rights inevitably fall in a good direction.
Also, what’s very funny is that CNN had their “Dewey Defeats Truman” moment when they aired the wrong story, announcing the California Supreme Court ruling against the gays and lesbos.
I’ve worked in news media for over ten years and I know a lot of news stories are written and developed with both results prepared ahead of time. It is wonderful to see one of the big titans get it 100% wrong.
Oh happy day!
On today’s show we brought some cheerleaders to celebrate in the joy, Mary La Pierre and Ricky Martel of the Chicago Spirit Brigade, a fundraising cheerleading group that performs at just about every gay thing that happens in the Midwest.
Listen as we talk with Mary and Ricky about the ridiculousness of vegan sugar, where to meet DILF’s in Chicago and odd biological phenomena, like the gecko who got trapped inside a chicken’s egg.
Dolly Parton is WAY pissed off, since shock jock Howard Stern edited her new audio book to make her say all sorts of filthy things, including her taste for “n-word cock” and that “Kenny Roger’s beard smells like boy’s cum.”
The Howard Stern show regularly uses altered clips from “Star Trek” actor George Takei, William Shatner, Oprah Winfrey and others.
As unsettling this may be, it’s also great publicity for Dolly’s new book and is sure to guarantee a rise in book sales. Is Dolly faking it or is she sincerely mad? Who knows, but remember, Don Imus lost his job for calling black women basketball players names on his show. Will Howard Stern fall from grace over his folly with Dolly?
Either way, Dolly has issued her own response, saying: “If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this… just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.”
We take the time to give you the lines that sound divine because they rhyme- Feast of Fools.

Michael Buckley will do almost anything to entertain you; cartwheels, hand stands and even a little skin show.
Flipping snarky catchphrases with insightful quips on celebrity news and popular culture, Connecticut based Michael Buckley’s video blog “What the Buck” bitingly comments at lighting speed on the nature of celebrity and the ridiculousness of fame.
His quick-paced, insightful take on popular culture rivals the best of entertainment based television programs and is completely written, produced and created by the man himself.
Michael Buckley works several hours every day writing, editing and taping his award winning videos and still manage to juggle a day job and a husband.
With over two million views every month and over 100 thousand regular subscribers, Michael’s high speed commentary has put him on the map and on Fox News as a regular commentator.
Where does Michael’s seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm for making fun of celebrities com from?
Listen as Michael shares his secrets on how he makes his award winning videos, the universal appeal of scatological humor and our fascination with tragic female celebrities.
We take a look at Miley Cyrus as she’s working a double shifts filling the gaping media hole left by the skanks of 2007 Britney, Lindsay, Paris and Nicole who have left the spotlight in search for a better life.
Also why Enrique Iglesias embraces his gay male fans and who Michael thinks is going to win this seasons American Idol reality TV singing show.

Aren’t they cute? Comedians Jim Bennet and Andy Eninger from GayCo, the Chicago based queer comedy troupe join us today to celebrate over a decade of fun-filled shows.
GayCo began as a lesbigay focused workshop at the famed Second City Comedy Troupe in Chicago. Remember when everyone thought Whitney Houston was a closet lesbian? Their first show “Whitney Houston We Have a Problem” was so well received that they continued putting on shows not just in Chicago but around the country.
The material still holds up a decade later, as the hilarious Jim Bennet and Andy Enninger with a solid ensemble wow the crowds at the Center on Halsted until May 25.
Andy and one of two of his lesbian co-stars from the show decided to have a baby together.
Did you know that Jim spearheaded the effort to save Big Chicks, one of Chicago’s most fabulous gay bars? About five years ago, pressure from developers got the city to start enforcing some very old zoning laws in order to get the long-term Uptown bar to shut it’s doors.
The irony here is that business like Big Chicks help to turn the Uptown neighborhood around and make it a desirable place to live in Chicago. It also was the first regular venue where we did our live Feast of Fools shows ten years ago. Can you believe it?
Because of Jim and other activists efforts, we were able to put pressure on the city and state government, passing a state law to allow the bar to stay. Needless to say, drinks are on the house for Jim.
Is this somewhat famous person gay? Jim and Andy are convinced he’s gay, in a gay show, with a gay theater company, but he’s just not ready to come out. What do you think?
Do you have “gay-dar”? How about “disease-dar” or “HIV-dar?”
Do you think you can tell someone is HIV+ just by looking at them? A new site run by MTV networks Posornot.com challenges this question with a delicious array of people. I’d like to start a whole YouTube trend with people recording their reactions to playing the online game. is that bad taste?
We found the great site on Jim Pickett’s excellent LifeLube blog, which is always a great resource for cutting edge gay health news with a spicy twist.
Although the site does a great job at throwing those myths into the wind, we still can find the “newly awakened bicyclist” and “I used to be a heroin addict hooker but now I’m a poetry studies major” in the group of people.

If you’re ever attacked by a shark or giant beast, there really is one thing to do: poke it in the eye. This poor guy survived a shark attack which could have killed him. The Australian swimmer described his technique for escape as “I found it’s eye and I poked it in the eye, and that’s when it let go.” And you think you had it rough at your local meat market bar.
Iron Man- the movie is one of the funniest sci-fi action films I’ve seen. We’re still laughing at the ridiculous premise of a rascally genius who builds not only a quasi perpetual motion reactor but also a semi-indestructible iron suits of armor in order to fight middle-eastern terrorists and evil American weapons manufacturers. Marvel always finds a good way to simultaneously glorify and criticize the American military and our struggle to responsibly use weapons technology.
The movie pokes a lot of fun at superhero conventions, but sadly lacks homo eroticism except that Downey and Jeff Bridges both look like they are ready for action at a leatherman’s conference, like IML weekend. Still, there are some major flaws in the plot such as Gwyneth Paltrow as Miss Pepper Pots complete incompetence in being able to call her boss when she learns of the murder attempt on his life and his rival’s ability to build another super suit over the weekend. It just seemed ridiculous!
The Sex And The City ladies were in London to premiere their new movie. It is surprising that a film based around New York City came out in England first. And yes I get told I look like Mr. Big played by Chris Noth and no, I don’t mind if you say it, but please include “but younger and cuter” when you tell me that. I really like being told I’m cuter and younger than a famous rich celebrity.
If you live in Chicago be sure to check out the musical parody MOLLYWOOD created by Scott Bradley and Jonny Stax of the Scooty and JoJo Show. The event is a crazy mash-up of all the John Hughes classic 80s films that featured actress Molly Ringwald.
Originally meant to be a tribute to Pretty and Pink, writer Scott Bradley quickly decided to fuse Pretty in Pink,Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club into the plot. It’s amazing how he was able to intertwine these three movies into one story. Although at times we were left wondering just WHAT the plot was, the mixing up of story lines led for a joyful and campy spectacle.
Scott’s uncanny take on Anthony Michael Hall almost steals the show from the perfectly cast Charis Boyd as Molly Ringwald. Her hair was great and it made Molly Ringwald’s 80s hairdo as iconic as Mickey Mouse ears thanks to the wonderful hair styling of Eric Daley.
Arrive early since both venues have limited seating and drink a lot, cause it will make the show seem even funnier. If you love 80s teen movies, you won’t want to miss this one.
The acoustic duo Coyote Grace joins us to talk about their new album, fascination with the Rainbow Brite character and their appearance at the ALT Q Festival.
The honky tonk pair of Joe Stevens, a transman singer/songwriter from Northern California and Ingrid Elizabeth on vocals and upright bass will be at the Alt Q Music Festival at the Old Town School of Folk Music on May 17th. We hope you can all make it out to this fabulous event filled with top notched musicians.

Kennidi is sorry. And she apologizes too. Kennidi told us she’s really really sorry for picking on video blogger Chris Crocker in the show comments last week.
Fessing up that she was doing it all for attention, our southern belle promises from now on to keep her videos focused on positive ideas and outrageous tranny delights, and not spend her time trying to find faults in others.
She’s really really sorry! So please forgive her.
Kennidi is heading down to Houston Texas to work with her DJ mixing pals, hoping to put out a couple of songs to rock out the good people of the internet. We say, you go girl. Go down to Texas. And come back with a hit! If you are in the Houston area, make sure to look her up.
Orchids are like trannies, beautiful, alluring and oh so precious. Some orchids mimic the look of female wasps and encourage male wasps to pollinate them by tricking them into mating with them by appearing like the female of their species. Sound familiar? Drag queens and trannies are just like those orchids.
The males, during what they think is sex, ejaculate and unlike mammals, once they are spent they are spent for good and will not likely be able to ejaculate again. This process takes a lot of male wasps out of the procreation cycle and helps keep the wasp hive in balance. Female wasps only need male wasps to procreate if they want to create female offspring.
Kids and drugs. It’s always about kids and drugs. You never hear in the news about old people and drugs. Why is that? Is it because they vote? That seems to be the key to old people getting their way all the time. Legislators in Georgia want to ban pot flavored candy. As of July 1, 2008, if you are a minor, you won’t be able to by such delightful candy flavors such as “Chronic Candy” or “Pot Suckers.” Now, we’ve never tasted these candies but if they taste anything like bong water you’re not missing much.
Kids in Russia got a special dessert with their lunchtime meal. They got delicious ectasy. No, that isn’t like ambrosia or some other trashy dessert, it’s MDMA. It seems someone spiked their food and the kids started wiggin’ out. They started dancing, stripping and climbing the walls. In other words, they turned the cafeteria into a gay bar circa 1997.
Join us on today’s show as Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion give Kennidi a (NSFW) non-surgical sex change, tease her about her questionable upbringing and convince her not to huff highlighters. She is a good sport about it all so please give her some kudos, in other words comment on the show.
