We’re back ya’ll! Excuse me pardner, but we still have a lil’ Texas twang twisting our tongues having spent the past Thanksgiving weekend in the Lone Star State.
Despite the terrible weather, Marc and I had a lovely time traveling around with my family because we were able to visit with some great listeners, folks just like you who happen to live (or come from) Texas.
The cold weather and rain followed us from Chicago to Austin and then to Corpus Christi where we tried our best to turn our frowns upside down in the balmy beach town of Padre Island. There is nothing more depressing than a beach town on a cold rainy day.
I’m writing this from my mom’s house in Austin, Texas and we’re looking forward to getting back to Chicago, back into our daily routine, y’all.
One interesting thing I learned about my big sister Beatriz on this trip is that she once literally worked the runway with (then lesser known) supermodel and daytime talk show host Tyra Banks.
When we got back, we found out that someone had spiked Miss Ingrid Marie Rivera’s pancake makeup for the Miss Puerto Rico pageant in the Miss Universe chain. Beauty pageants can get ugly real fast, especially around Puerto Rican women!
Don’t ask me how I’ll behave if I manage to stay in the Gay Bloggies competition. I’m still in the running in this “American Idol” inspired gay blogging (cagefight) competition, thanks to your votes. Click here to keep me in the running.
Take a weekend off and look at what happens! Is the entire Republican party full of backstabbing gay men? It seems yet another HRRPO (that’s High-Ranking-Republican-Party-Official for you country folk) may be dragged out of the closet. According to Big Head DC this time it may be Trent Lott, who’s name sounds kind of dirty already may or may not have been involved with a gay escort and blogger Benjamin Nicholas .
It’s hard to keep these guys in order. According to Big Head DC, hunky stud for hire Benjamin Nicholas states
“Here’s my public comment, on-the-record: Sen. Lott and I have no current affiliation with one another. I’m sure he would appreciate no further scrutiny.”
I can’t remember if we predicted that a Whitehouse sex scandal would have one of the participant’s showing off his goods on YouTube, but here’s a link to Benjamin’s videos. Day-um! He’s way hot. You go. Out of the office, that is.
We’ll also be talking to author, lecturer and tv host Alexyss K. Tylor later this week so if you have any questions for her, please email us. Please visit her website or watch her on YouTube and see why she made the phrase “dick will make you slap somebody” famous.
Join my baby girl Victoria, my big sis Beatriz, my hubby Marc and me (Fausto) as we shoot the breeze in my momma’s house (she was at work) talking about leadership concepts, gay Republicans, gays in high school and Tyra Banks.
Filling you up with tasty goodness, the gay talk show everyone loves! Feast of Fools.

Minoan Jeff says:
November 27, 2007 at 09:32Marc, you can turn me gay anytime you want! I hope Trent Lott is not exposed as gay. I really don’t want to have anything in common with him. Ew.. Maybe he can have had some wierd fetish like he wants BN to lay in a tub filled with ice and then lay on a slab like in a morgue or something.
Minoan Jeff says:
November 27, 2007 at 09:47Oh Wow! I won!!! Happy day! But that wasn’t on the Strawberry Quick episode.. that was on the one with the steamworks pride party ad you guys did.. but, hey I won… again…. YAY!
DCRyan says:
November 27, 2007 at 09:49I love love love when you have your family on the show Fausto…just want to let you know that I think all the fans really appreciate that you are willing to share almost all aspects of your life with us, I think it is part of why everyone who listens to the show feels so connected to you and Marc. We love you V-Mo and Beatriz!!
OK now can I just say how excited I am about Alexyss being on the show, you boys pulled it off again and I cannot wait to hear that show, I’m guessing she will not be as evasive at Taye Zonday…just a guess.
Minoan Jeff says:
November 27, 2007 at 09:54Oh and hey… your sister is hot! She should do more modeling. Such classic features and great teeth!!!!
Minoan Jeff says:
November 27, 2007 at 10:02Sorry had to stop writing my boss came by… but my Brother is kinda hot.. and he’s single to. He also speaks a number of languages.
Oh I feel a musical coming on.

November 27, 2007 at 11:28post a picture of your brother Jeff! Shirtless please.
groggy says:
November 27, 2007 at 11:36I just wanted to say, that I WILL listen to all your podcasts. Right now I’m on number 559, and I’m moving back in time gradually. One FoF podcast a day is just not enough for me!
Jesse Elliot says:
November 27, 2007 at 12:24Loved listening to Beatriz! Next time she is on, it would be great to hear how she deals with homophobia as a teacher. I’m year off form teaching myself. So, it would be interesting to hear her thoughts. Has FoF ever done a show with GLSEN?
StevenvanL. says:
November 27, 2007 at 12:32You’ve got such a sweet family Fausto - I just want to adopt them all and make them wear clogs!
Maia says:
November 27, 2007 at 13:36In my lesbian utopia, everybody wears clogs. 
It was fun to hear a podcast-on-location — Beatriz and Victoria are both adorable. Fausto, you have such a fun-loving family! Where are the fundies, though? Get them on the podcast and freak ‘em out. I wonder how they would react… My fundamentalist relatives are disappointingly polite in person, although my uncle did send me a very creepy letter one time.

November 27, 2007 at 14:08why did yur voice sound so funny fausto you hear so macha. Havent lisen to a podcast with youre family is really interesting I like it and well i think everybody feels crappy in high school but you get some good times too.
Minoan Jeff says:

PupDon says:
November 27, 2007 at 16:29But Fausto, I do!!! I do listen to every podcast. Ever since December of 2005 I’ve heard every single show, including all the ones on the best of DVD and any ones I was able to download from before Dec 2005 when I first started listening. I’m OBSESSED!!!!
Okay, maybe not obsessed. Just a puppy of habit. And you’ve become a habit. Like crack. Or pop rocks.

November 27, 2007 at 19:07Hola Fausto and Marc! Great show today! Loved listening to Beatriz again. Hello to her!! 
RcktMan says:
November 27, 2007 at 21:15I know things are slower down south… but you all sounded a little slower than usual in this show! Maybe it’s just my browser and/or my computer…but it sounded weird! (It sounded perfectly fine on iTunes though.)
OMG I am SO EXCITED Alexyss will be on! She is AMAZING. I have a feeling that is going to be one hysterical show.
And of course… LOVE Beatriz and Victoria. I said on Flickr, and I’ll say it here… Fausto you have a beautiful family. Victoria is a stunning young lady (just like her mom)!
Love and hugs to Patricia too… even though she wasn’t there.
Fausto Fernós says:
November 27, 2007 at 21:40Great profile photo Joel! Looking good! Joel is going to start a spanish language gay podcast for the Puerto Rican audience.
Eliza Sea says:
November 28, 2007 at 00:50You guys were in my home town! I grew up just outside of Corpus in Portland (and I know exactly where Port A is!!). You made me homesick. 
I wish I had gone home for ‘Ving so I could have hung out with ya’ll!
MysticTortoise says:
November 28, 2007 at 02:56Love your show guys! I listened a while back, and for some reason lost my mind and quit listening. (big mistake, don’t do it)
I recently started listening again, and it’s always great to hear your family on the show. Keep up the good work.
michael says:
November 28, 2007 at 03:47I love it when you speak Spanish - it sounds amazing. Impressive and wonderful ladies on the show today -
I liked what Beatriz said about authority. She is not only beautiful but also intelligent and interesting too - and far from being “over the hill”! I hope to hear more from her and her funny and witty daughter.
DKMPLS says:
November 28, 2007 at 08:21Beatriz was amazing. I loved hearing her views on raising children and how to instill long-term motivation for certain behavior rather than short term bribery. Very intelligent family.
Félix Pérez Lara says:
November 28, 2007 at 12:38Hey loved Beatriz!… I can’t agree more with the way of thinking ’bout motivation for the kids!… I hope someday we adopt a kid and raise him/her a nice way!… like this girl is doing!
Bye,
FELIX
lis says:
November 29, 2007 at 07:50As always, really enjoyed listening to Beatriz and Victoria. Too bad Patricia didn’t make it to this show. You have a very cool family Fausto!! And this was another great FOF show.
Saludos,
lis
