    Hi Fausto and Marc! I was an avid FoF listener up until a few months ago, when iTunes crashed and I lost contact with all my podcasts. I’ve kept following you guys on Twitter and via RSS feed, and when I saw this podcast title, I just had to listen. As a member of YouTube’s gay community, I love seeing our “icons” get exposure in other outlets.

    I plan on listening to the show daily again, now that I just finished my last final paper. Yes, at 4:30 in the morning. I’m a college student, that’s what we’re supposed to do!

    Must say its awesome to have a YouTube star that isn’t a gender bender (Chris Cocker / B. Scott).

    Looking forward to some new guests and old ones (Fausto bring your momma online again!).

    I really enjoyed this show. I loved the idea of Buck as being an older, more elegant youtube celebrity.

    I didn’t know about What the Buck before… but now I do, and will probably be watching it religiously.

    I have never heard of him, but I can see how he could grown on you. Does he know David Sadaris?

    Buck is adorable and hysterical! I’ve been watching his shows for a while now and he’s always a lot of fun. A great match for FoF actually… It’d be great to have him on occasionally to discuss the crazy lives of celebs. Great interview, and definitely one of the best “Breakdowns” ever!

    Wow, that was great. I think it would be a hoot for Buck to interview transsexual porn star Buck Angel and you can call it Buck on Buck. Or maybe… A Couple of Bucks?

    Did you guys notice that as the interview went on you started talking faster and faster to keep up? :)

    Wow, I had to listen the show twice to understand him, but it was great, though.
    I loved him, I watched him once or twice and I cracked laughing about the celebs. Great show guys and PLEASE you have to have him on the show again, even though I’d have to listen it twice to understand what he’s talking. LOL

    Enjoyed Buck now and before.
    I have been a botox user for four years now ( I am in the business ) so I was glad to hear Buck admit he is a user also. One does not have to be old to need/want botox.

    I was really surprised by the Botox. I didn’t know someone that 32 years old would want or need Botox. It was news to me. I’m thinking of getting Botox on my penis to get the wrinkles out. Will that work for me?

    I visited my family in New Mexico over the weekend. On the way, west, the flight was bumpy - i have a new fear of flying. I put on the show and soon after I didn’t care about the turbulence because I enjoyed the interview so much. Thank you for making me laugh. Buck made a great guest, i hope to see him back.

    I love Michael Buckley! He projects the creative maturity that I wish more internet and mainstream stars would use to build their carers. His energy is infectious and his passion for life is inspiring.
