Shine on you crazy rhinestones! Everyone still talking about and photoshopping themselves into Aretha Franklin’s gray bedazzled hat.
The whole world’s gone gaga over Aretha’s sparkly gray hat. Even lesbian talk show host Ellen DeGeneres wore a crude copy of the $175 dollar creation of Luke Song, the Korean born milliner who’s struggling to keep up with requests for the fanciful chapeau.
Is Aretha’s Gray Hat some sort of alien mind control device? (Shut up.)
Michael Lehet joins us to discuss Spamalot which is rocking the Auditorium Theater here in Chicago.
We loved Spamalot! The musical is a non stop spectacle filled with laughs and a fabulous gay storyline. We highly recommend going to it even if you aren’t familiar with the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail on which the show based.
In the touring production the legendary actor Richard Chamberlain portrays King Arthur and man the guy has a lot of spunk for his age. He’s 75 years old and kicks butt. No kidding. Tickets start at $25, it’s a guaranteed good time.
Also check out some fabulous Monty Python clips on YouTube if you aren’t familiar with Monty Python.
Sadly the show Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will not be coming to Chicago as ticket sales were so chitty that it forced the show’s cancellation.
There is much to celebrate! Milk, the motion picture received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Find out what Cleve Jones, who was portrayed by Emil Hirsch in the bio pic, had to say about it.
Obama takes the oath twice because it’s so nice.
Has Obama replaced the shaka sign with the Obama bump?
Please take a moment and vote for Michael Lehet’s pitiful blow up doll video. What kind of person makes an internet video with blow up dolls? A lonely person.

Hi Boys – Thanks so much for having me on the show…..I’m always amazed at how gay I sound!
Thanks guys I got a real buzz hearing my name on the show – fame at last
Fausto I like all your guests although it’s an uphill struggle with a few (Lady MK) and hearing diverse opinions broadens the mind. Listening to you read my words did make me realise that I hadn’t made my point very well so I must revisit the comments on that show.
Fausto, you are attractive, charming and funny. You have great hair and blue eyes.
Mark and Michael? Well, you’re both fabulous.
(I had to rewind several times to get those compliments right. LOL)
Oh go on!
MIchael, you sound gayer than Aretha Franklin’s hat.
@Ibox2000 – you’re fabulous too : -)
@Fausto – Here I thought it was her hat that made me gay? LOL!
Haha listening to the show now. Loved the accent, Marc.
Did I mention recently that I think you guys are cute, charming and hot?
The Granny Awards?! omg LMAO!!!!
And both of you are totally fabulous, lovely, incredibly funny and are an inspiration to me! So there! hahaha
(totally serious though!)
Michael I’m sorry to say they took off the vote button from your video!
However this gay guy seems in the top running, and his video carries the spirit of yours:

Go on Nido! Go on Marcin!
I loved today’s show. Loving Michael. Fausto and Marc I love you guys too. Listening to the show I heard Fausto say Bush does the devil sign so I googled it and found this which is all kinds of crazy. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/signs_of_satan.htm
Oh well, I guess it’s time to let the air out of the blow up dolls and concede that once again – you were right Fausto! Damn it!
Marc and Fausto, you guys dont need to be complimented, 3x best glbt podcast.. nuff said, we all love you! And Michael is pretty damn funny!
That Michael is amazing, not only was he adorable on the show but he paid off my credit card debt and took my Mother shopping. If you asking him nicely, he’ll buy you a Snuggie. Great show guys! …..SHUT UP!
He did!? Michael asked me for a buck to ride the bus the other day cause he said he was broke! No wonder.
Honestly guys, your reviews help to perk up the eyes and ears of new listeners and the peeps over at Apple computer, who do a lot of behind the scenes work to promote podcasts.
If you have a moment and like our show, please go to iTunes and write a review. No kidding!

The mental image of Aretha Franklin staring down and talking to her hat was priceless. I love how crazy you guys are!
SHUT UP.
Hey Michael – this is the site to check for parties during your Amsterdam stay:

You guys are all… well – you know – all those compliments you were fishing for.
Is Aretha’s Hat related to the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter? People want to know.
(for English on that link, click top right)
@StevieB – Uhm, that was supposed to be a secret between me and your Mom, I’m gonna have a talk with her!
@Stevenanl – THANKS so much for the link, we’re looking for fun things to do!!!
So, is a gay guy considered bisexual if he enjoys making love only to female plastic dolls? And OBAMA is wonderful BUT he’s human – I’m very disappointed that his new program is virtually ignoring work projects on infrastructure, because that would create fast countless jobs for many people who have lost their jobs… Kicking your teenage children out – this happens all the time in the US, if Austin, Texas, is any example! It’s so sad! They buy those big SUVs but don’t want to pay for their children’s schooling. Then we wonder why we’re being considered a 2nd world nation by other nations… Duh!
LOVED the show guys! You were all laughing and having so much fun… and you are all so beautiful and attractive and handsome and sexy and… (is that too much?)
I thought I was the only one who thought Aretha’s hat was amazing when I saw it… but apparently everyone did! That hat is larger than life and FABULOUS. I was inspired by you all and did my own “Me in Aretha’s Hat” picture. Isn’t it fancy? http://www.flickr.com/photos/rcktmanil/3224040534/
Michael, sorry you didn’t win with your blow-up-doll video. I’m proud that you made it as far as you did, though. I might be brave enough to wear Aretha’s hat, but I’m not brave enough to sing with two blow-up-dolls. That takes cojones.
my bf , Paul and i drove to DC monday, loaded up the ipod with your shows and we laughed all the way and back, it really made the trip short and a pleasure!!!!! We love u guys.
By the way, we both think both of you are talented, funny and keep up looks that are great, I know its not always easy to do the show every day, but ya’ll do a great job, never heared a show, or sensed energy that was not below the baseline of high leveled consistancy that you maintain! Thanks for being!
larry and paul
Michael, Fausto, & Marc:
Great show…you are all witty, cute, smart, and full of fabulousness! Great show!
Oh go on! And buy a new t-shirt:

I love Richard Chamberlain. Is he in Chicago? Send him a copy of your marvelous George Takei interview and maybe he’ll come on the show! Didn’t he only come out at the age of 70? And on Oprah?.
He’s a hot guy with a hot boyfriend and good weave. At 42 I’d be happy with any of those!
Coincidentally, I read there’s a musical version of ‘The Thorn Birds’ in production. ‘Sister Act’ has a lot to answer for!
Man, I could NOT get past that hat! Your photoshopping is fantastic.
(as always)
Just had to add-all of of you are beautiful, funny, and fabulous!! Thanks for consistently great shows every time.
I know this is late, but what an attractive, intelligent bunch of podcasters you are.
Great show guys!
I love hearing Marc and Michael’s voice but who’s the “Fausto” person that made an appearance. Wow don’t let that guy back *ducks*.
Ha ha ha, serious though, lots of fun, however you should put a link to the guy doing the calls to the Ellen show!

So awesome.
Michael is a cutie pie bear with pudding on top, or in his case, bottom!
