Marc Felion, Tracy Tyler and Fausto Fernos all do their best Lady Gaga on Vogue imitation.

Lady Gaga at the 2011 Grammy Awards - all that latex, where's the lube?

The track combines Gaga’s strong vocals with lyrics about race and sexuality putting LGBT rights front and center.

During the Grammy awards, Lady Gaga said she thought of singer Whitney Houston when she wrote the song but is she just putting us all on? The song has the same chords, structure and melodies as “Express Yourself” so how could it be anything but a clear homage to Madonna.

What’s with the red herring? It’s either cryptomnesia, a form of subconscious plagiarism, or did Lady Gaga strike a secret deal with the Material Girl?

If Madonna did get ripped off by the Costumed One, then karma strikes squarely where it need to since the Madonna’s “Express Yourself” was said to have stolen melodies from the R&B hit “Respect Yourself” when it was released over 20 years ago.

Joining us today is our gal pal Tracy Tyler to discuss Gaga, the Egyptian Revolution and a gay cruise aboard the Drug Boat!

You’re in for a treat today as an old friend of ours, Tracy Tyler joins us to share our sexy sex stories of wild lust and abandon, with strange and funny results.

If you’re a long term listener, back when our show was called Feast of Fools, Tracy Tyler was one of our favorite guests and very popular with the listeners. Who can forget Tracy’s fantastic sex stories, as she shared her experience of being a transgendered woman living in the suburbs of Chicago?

We had a falling out with Tracy and haven’t seen each for over a year and a half. But now we’ve patched things up and are the best of friends again, and guess what? She’s back on today’s show to catch up from where she left off.

Join us a we share with you three terrific tales of sexual trysts and dates gone horribly wrong- Tracy’s gets caught being naughty at a tranny party in a banquet hall, Fausto’s unwelcome sexual safari at a taxidermist’ house in the heart of Texas and Marc’s frozen food date that ends in a Valentine’s Day Massacre.

It’s the show you’ve all been waiting for, our LIVE podcast from Steamworks! Of all places indeed.

We packed up the microphones and recording equipment and took our booties down to the “Sexiest Place on Earth,” also known as Steamworks on 3246 N Halsted Street in Chicago.

What a turn out! No longer do I need to imagine the audience being naked, as they really were almost naked. Sporting nothing but clean towels, we were surrounded by hunky and lunky men watching our hi-jinks and tomfoolery.

Listen as Jim Pickett, Tracy Tyler, Sal-E and his surprise guest Terryaki, Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós share our wit and wisdom with the good people at Steamworks.

Did I forget to mention we interviewed porn actor Vinnie D’Angelo? Vinnie looks hot so please check out his pictures as he sat on a very special cake.

The girl who stole the show was Tracy Tyler. Pictured here, she caused quite a commotion when she boldly announced she was going to compete in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China by becoming the first transgenered athlete to compete in synchronized swimming.

Don’t hold you breath though, as Tracy is not quite ready to go under the knife just yet. Marc and I wrote that skit with the help of Mike Oliphant back in 2004 for the last Olympics in Athens just before we started podcasting. An old chestnut like that deserved a new life and we’re glad Tracy could
shine at it.

Oh what fun we had! The podcast that always helps you to release the pressure- Feast of Fools.

Jesus, Satan, UFO’s, crystal skulls, trickle-down economics and the flying spaghetti monster all make an appearance on today’s show. Your favorite lovable “That Girl” for the modern day trannie, Tracy Tyler joins us to reflect on people’s beliefs on life, love and the nature of the universe.

Tracy Tyler’s aura is purple because a friend told her it is. Some people believe that everyone has a paranormal “glow” around them and the color of this glow reveals a lot about their personality and ultimately their destiny. Depending on what school of crazy you go to, some folks glow yellow, while others are pink and purple. Does anyone have a polka dotted aura?

At the end of the day, it’s all about trying to understand who you are as a person, which is a good thing. But if these notions give people the idea that self-improvement can be a quick and easy process or that it can be done without taking a good hard look at yourself, that’s not such a good thing.

Join Tracy Tyler, Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós as we talk about colors, auras, religion, oddly flavored Mexican beer, ungifting bad gifts and the very rare purple pearl, which a woman in a seafood bar found in her meal! Her $10 meal might earn her thousands of dollars. Can you believe it?

What impact do derogatory words have on us? When we hear slurs aimed at others it may be funny, but what happens when they are aimed at us? What happens when we become used to it? Stop the hate in 2008 folks!

Most of the sexual activities we participate in aren’t exclusive to humans. In biologist Bruce Bagemihl’s book “Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity” documents in colorful detail the sexual diversity of the animal kingdom. Your average acre of tropical rain forest has more gay sex happening in it than Senator Larry Craig’s favorite men’s bathroom at the International Minneapolis airport.

I do, I do, I do believe in faeries and in the Feast of Fools!

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.

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.

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.”

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.

As if Market Days wasn’t enough, the Olympic games also started this weekend, the Olympic Olympics, you know the trademarked one, as thousands of athletes from around the world gathered in China to compete. Watching the dazzling opening ceremonies on TV, I was quite taken by all the beautiful athletes marching onto Beijing Birds Nest Stadium floor. I felt like Mae West in her final film “Sextette.” Boys boys! There’s plenty of Fausto to go around.

Marc was bested by a chicken hawk- and not the kind you are probably used to hearing about in the gay bars. You may remember Marc telling the story about how he tragically killed his niece’s baby chicken by accidentally putting a cage on him and effectively crushing the poor thing to death. Well, the little girl just recovered from the horror of losing one of her favorites chicken to witness only a few weeks later another chicken being carried off by a chicken hawk (a real one- not an old gay man who preys on young men). So, he is no longer the bad guy.

I feel a little sad seeing John Edwards getting politically tarred and feathered after the revelations of an affair with a woman hired to produce campaign videos. It was a brief affair that his wife knew about so get over it America.

Many bloggers and tv pundits say it’s not going to hurt Barak Obamas chances, but anything that takes American’s minds off our mortgage crisis, the need for true universal healthcare, and ecological and energy woes could mean another four more of the Bush-Rove-McCain style of leadership.

With McCain getting so much media coverage comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (two women who are closely tied to the Republican party) is not only distracting the American voter, it negates his promise not to run a sleazy campaign.

On today’s show we’re having a blast with our good friends Michael Lehet and Tracy Tyler.

McCain’s is SO not “hot.” Although the Arizona Senator said he would never launch an attack ad during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign, McCain broke his promise and last week aired an anti-Obama ad criticizng the Illinois Senator as “too famous” to become president, comparing him to vapid celebutants Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

The only problem here is, both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton’s family are well known Republican party contributors, including an $80,000 contribution from the Hilton Clan last year to McCain’s campaign.

Fundraising rule #1- don’t insult your donors. Thank them.

When Grandpa Hilton got a word of it, he blew a fuse, and heads have been rolling down at the Republican party headquarters. And that my friends, is hot.

Montauk Monster! Have the Hamptons found it’s own “chupacabra?” Last week Gawker blog posted a weird photo of something resembling a hairless raccoon that washed up on the beach of the town know for being a playground for the wealthy and ridiculous.

Many are speculating it’s a sea turtle without its shell, an escaped government experiment, an alien or a fake. Still many are all excited speculating on what it is, even though the carcass itself is missing. Who knows even if this photo was taken in the Hamptons at all?

Remember the 44 lb. overweight cat that went missing a week ago? Many thought that it was curtains for Princess Chunk, the chubby but lovable cat that surprised everyone by disappearing from her home in New Jersey.

Well it turns out Princess Chunk was a dude all along, a cat named Powder, just like our loveable Tracy! A happy ending for P-Chunk, as he/she will now be living in a happy home, thanks to the media attention, our chubby tabby will be living with a new family. I can hear happy purrs already.

Michael Lehet has been writing lately on new technology on his blog and brought over the cool new Cinemizer. It’s exciting but a little hard on the eyes.

Described by the company as “your take-along personal video screen. In the future, you’ll be able to watch any movie stored on your iPod anywhere.” Today it’s just an annoying to use, funny looking gadget.

I’ll leave it to your colorful imaginations the possible uses of this new technology, but let’s just say it still a long way from a fully-functional Star Trek style holodeck.

Speaking of which, Sept. 1 is the last day of the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas, which we’re hoping to attend for the podcaster’s conference. What’s replacing it? Michael Jackson’s theater. Did we mention we need your help?

A burst of flavor in every byte- Feast of Fools.

What would you do? A pizza restaurant in China has confused customers by using banana and peach signs on the mens and women’s bathroom doors. Officials are asking the restaurant to change it, since a study conducted by them reveals that over 60% of the customers have no idea which one is which.

But isn’t life like that? Sometimes you see clear signs of where to go, other times it’s more confusing. Once I saw an ear of corn and a turnip representing the genders on bathroom doors in a restaurant. If you’re ever confused, just pick a door and boldly go in. If someone inside yells at you, blame the faulty signage, not your own sense of gender fluidity.

Speaking of which, Tracy’s been having a wonderful summer, lounging by the pool in her suburban apartment complex trying to seduce the pool guy, who I think bares a striking resemblance to actor Ernest Borgnine. I took the liberty of photoshopping them together, don’t they make a nice couple?

Listen as Amercia’s favorite trannie shares the exciting details of her latest suburban romantic adventure, and we examine what is it that makes people who live in the suburbs so frisky? Is it the water or the fact that they are all so spread apart and spend a lot of their time alone in their cars? Are we just overgeneralizing things here?

Either way, we’re really excited by the possibility of going to San Francisco with Tracy Tyler and Las Vegas for the podcaster’s conference, but we need your help!

We need approximately $2820.00 in the next two weeks to cover the costs of the trip and repair our recording equipment to make it happen. Will you help?

We’ll be doing interviews from the Mark Twain Hotel in San Francisco and plan on getting as many of the folks from Trannyshack on the show in person, talking about the queer legacy of San Francisco, Harvey Milk, the Coquettes and what it means to the rest of the world.

Live in Chicago? Come join us for a Zodiac Wine Tasting tonight with Alpana Singh at the Center on Halsted, 6-8pm.

Satisfying the hunger deep inside- Feast of Fools.

Tracy Tyler joins us once again on today’s show as we share some fond memories and also traumatic experiences of summer camp.

Listen as we talk about sexy ghost stories, strange erotic experiences and the unrequited romances of our teenage years. Did you go to summer camp? We want to hear your stories too so please comment on the site and share your tales.

Can watermelon replace Viagra? Citrulline which is found in the flesh and rind of watermelons, reacts with the body’s enzymes when consumed in large quantities and is changed into arginine, an amino acid that benefits the circulatory and immune systems.

The arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and provides the same basic effect as Viagra. We’re not sure exactly how much watermelon you will have to eat to get the effect but we went ahead and bought a few just to have on hand.

I’m not sure about this one, but a new trend in fashion panties is a back door window. We’re not sure if it functions as a sex lure or it’s just a vent for farts. But we really wonder when it will enter into gay men’s fashion? Oh wait, it already has- the jockstrap!

Why bother to wear clothes at all when you can be “SKY CLAD.” Sky clad, get it? It took me a second to understand that sky clad meant nude in a sign at a clothing optional camp we attended this past weekend. Did we get naked? Only to go into the jacuzzi.

If you’re happy and you know it, you’re probably listening to the Feast of Fools!

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.

I’m feeling just a little bit frisky after all the madness and mayhem of Fourth of July weekend here in the U.S. We barely survived the onslaught of mosquitoes, firecrackers and drunk tourists! I bet many people all over the nation are needing a vacation from their vacation.

We hope our show is that vacation for you.

On today’s show Tracy Tyler, Marc Felion and I, Fausto Fernós recap the events of the weekend and the sexy and not so sexy things we ran into.

Marc and I traveled to his hometown of Erie, Pennsylvania where we were treated to some beautiful canoing and hunky men twirling around the stripper pole at the local gay bar.

Right at closing, just as we were about to leave the hot young men at the Zone nightclub had a dance off using the stripper pole! We were all treated to an amazing spontaneous show that rivaled the mastery of Cirque du Soleil and certainly the sexiness as well.

One guy at the local bar had a bit of attitude with his Hollywood stylist good looks, chiseled abs and rock hard body- at 5.4 feet tall. I asked him where he got this awesome shirt he was wearing and he said “I got it working as a model in Europe.”

What I wanted to say is how happy I was that a short person like him got work as a fashion model anywhere, but I kept my big fat mouth shut.

Later on a totally methed out guy came over to harass us and Marc skillfully turned Mr. Meth Crazy onto Mr. European Fashion Model and a fight almost broke out! Listen to show for all the messy details.

Meanwhile Tracy has been working on her summer tan, which makes her feminine shape stand out more. What I like most about her tan lines is the way she wears revealing black dresses to church on Sunday to try to turn on the ministers and the members of her congregation!

I love a whore in church who keeps it calm and cool.

Ding Dong, former Senator Jessie Helms, foe to man and beast died at the age of one zillion showing that it’s hard to kill evil white men.

Check out our friends at Towleroad, who beautifully put his legacy into words: “To all those people who died too soon or who lived without being able to live life to its fullest as a result of Jesse Helms and his influence, may you rest in peace.”

We think he probably died earlier in the week, but the Republican party kept his dead body in a meat locker somewhere until the Fourth of July to shoehorn his death at some sort of cosmic patriotic meaning.

And now for a real hero- Nigerian gay rights activist Davis Mac-Iyalla has been released from prison and is now in the UK seeking asylum. Work it Davis! Imagine what your life would be like if your country tortured you, imprisoned and harassed your family for your simple desire to be a gay man, out loud and proud.

Listen to our interview with the leader of Changing Attitude Nigeria (CAN).

Meanwhile, a man slathered head to toe in BBQ sauce got arrested while hiding in someone’s basement in Wisconsin. I guess he thought he would blend in with the weekend’s food and not be seen. Yes I know he’s crazy, but he sure tastes good!

Fighting for your right to rock and roll all night and party every day, or at least every once in a while- Feast of Fools.

Sorry, I can’t make this parody song go on much longer, but please do attend the tale of Tracy Tyler.

On today’s show Tracy’s cast mate James Nedrud and musical director Jack Cameron come to talk about Sweeney Todd the musical, now in it’s final weekend in Chicago. We ask them about what attracts them to this macabre musical and what they thought of Tracy auditioning as man.

Here’s one of Tracy’s handsome friends in the show, actor James Nedrud. Don’t you think he looks like a young version of Tracy?

Tracy stars in Sweeney Todd as Beetle Banford, a bad guy who helps the villain get away with his terrible deeds. But like most bad guys, he gets the ultimate shave from Sweeney Todd.

And for those of you who love to hate Tracy, be sure to buy a ticket and see Tracy gets brutally murdered by Sweeney Todd. In the show, the dead bodies get ground up into savory meat pies and with Tracy, that’s a lot of meat pies! Anybody want to buy a franchise?

Women with extremely long fingernails are complaining about the iPhone touch, saying the interface keeps them from using the popular phone. They say its sexist not to make it available for woman with long nails.

But if you have long, bedazzled fingernails, doesn’t it limit you from doing a ton of things, like play the piano or put on contact lenses? I’m sorry, but that argument seems pretty weak, considering they already sell styluses for the iPhone for those who prefer to use a stick instead of their fingertips.

Saudi Officials take a page out off of Sweeney Todd by declaring you can now marry a one year old, as long as you don’t have sex with her. So you can make a marriage contract for your one year old daughter and she isn’t going to have to put out until later, like Mohamed’s wife Aisha who he married at age six but had sex with her at nine.

Police in Australia are crying out – Scooby Doo, Where Are You? A man in a rented Scooby Doo costume invaded a track event. He has alluded police and he used a fake drivers license and credit card to hire the costume so chances are slim that he’ll return it. I bet he’s off in the Mystery Machine with Shaggy smoking weed and planning his next prank.

Kids in Salt lake are now protesting high gas prices because their mom had to cut “cabel” to pay for their gas bills. Hopefully, at least, they’ll learn to spell with all that time on their hands that they won’t be watching “cabel.” The kids might be better off setting up a lemonade stand or work in a Chinese sweatshop to pay for the cable bills themselves if they want it that bad.

The controversial British Gay Heinz Mayonnaise Ad has been pulled due to customer complaints. The ad featured a NYC deli man serving up sandwiches to his kids who call him “mom” and his husband who he kisses and calls “sweet cheeks.” The ad never aired during choldren’s viewing hours, not because of the gay kiss, but because of “new rules from Ofcom that restrict ads for products high in fat, salt and sugar.”

Here’s our idea for a fun night- go have dinner at Big Jones Restaurant, then check out Tracy in Sweeney Todd the Musical- playing Friday and Saturdays at 8pm, June 27th & 28th at the Actors Theater Company at 1125 W. Loyola Avenue in Chicago.

Attend the tale of the Feast of Fools.
