Cheerleaders, a studly viking and a ukele playing guy from New York join us on today’s overstuffed burrito of podcasting fun.
Sometimes when you overbook your guests, you get a whole new exciting taste combination of fun and pleasure. On today’s show we have a superfan Jonas Åstrøm, musical guest Ben Lerman who’s star is quickly rising on the internet with his spontaneous duet with Britney Houston.
Fausto has been freaking out the people at Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin Robin’s when he asks for a French cruller in a cup with soft serve ice cream on top.
You should order one and gage their reaction. The staff seem mystified as the two worlds collide in a donut-ice cream dessert explosion. I’m not sure how long it will take for the concoction to catch on with the corporate types that run the franchise but when it does, you know you heard it here first.
Mary and Ricky for the Spirit Brigade regale us with ten reasons why cheerleaders aren’t tramps, or are tramps. Who knows which? But it was fun anyway. We also discover that Ricky sounds exactly like Ron Popeil of Ronco fame. We just can’t stop asking him to say “set it and forget it” or “beef jerky, turkey jerky, homemade yogurt, banana chips and apple snacks, dried pineapple, and much more” or “But Wait…There’s More!” Ah, the hilarity never ends.
Did you know that people are suffering from empathy deficit disorder? Yes, some people aren’t feeling sorry enough for other people. Can you believe it? Ben Lerman said it best though in regards to these poor people with the disorder when he said, “I don’t feel anything for them!”
The international language of love is laughter- Feast of Fools.

Ripley kept saying “Mercury is in retrograde” when she walked in the door. It seemed everything was in chaos, but what she really meant to say was that recently she felt very introspective.
No wonder, we taped this show on Father’s Day and about a year ago I lost my father. It turned out Ripley’s and […]

Ah happy memories. It was such a blast to ride up to Milwaukee with Tracy Tyler to perform at the Pridefest Milwaukee celebration, an event that started out with a torrential downpour and ended with fireworks in Tracy’s jaw dropping number.
An hour after arriving to our hotel, I called Tracy to see when she wanted […]

How many are in your party? For some people monogamy is just right, but for a growing number of people, open relationships is where they find true happiness.

Diva! Diva! Diva! Kennidi Monroe just put out her very first single and it has a catchy riff. What is it? Voluptuous Diva. It’s the word “diva” over and over and over again.
The song seems like a Saturday Night Live sketch in extremis, and we love it. The campy awkwardness is disarming and it’s fun […]
