Don’t mess with a Mariah Carey fan! They will cut you.
A Naples Florida guy and his alleged girlfriend were listening to the music by the star of Glitter when another car pulled up alongside at an intersection and shouted the fan a derogatory name for grooving to her music.
You can probably guess what was said that quickly turned this cat-fight into a mile-and-a-half shouting match, ending with the Mariah Carey fan throwing a beer bottle back at the non-Mariah loving car, hitting the driver in the head.
Some people will go to any lengths to defend their diva and avoid being called gay.
On today’s show blogger Michael Lehet joins us to talk about the Swiss Man who may have spit himself into running for a Darwin Award, flying Russian penises and how to become a do-it-yourself oil tycoon.
First there was the Asian Tsunami, then Hurricane Katrina and now there’s the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China. As the stories and numbers of all these global disasters pile up, Americans seem to mentally give up and turn away from donating to these international causes.
Charities call it donor fatigue, but Lisa Tolin, an AP writer calls it “Disaster Fatigue” the psychological condition that people exhibit when the problem seems insurmountable, they give up.
“The more bad news there is, the less likely people may be to give.”
So while people are literally starving around the world, decadent New York city restaurants are drumming up publicity desperately by offering a $175 burger, garnished with truffles and gold leaf. Mmmm gold.
You see this dumb stunt being done from time to time. Some business offers an everyday item at an exhorbitant price, and they throw in rare, expensive and unecessary items just for the shock value.
Not to be left out of the loop, we’re offering our very own diamond covered Feast of Fools t-shirt (made with cruelty-free, vegan diamonds) for the low low price of 7.7 million dollars. Cheap!

RcktMan says:
What a fun show! Michael you were a hoot… it was fun to hang out with you guys tonight. I might need to take some tips from you when (and if) I ever get my video camera.
That pic of Mariah Carey looks like someone familiar — The only girl who comes to mind was a contestant on Project Runway on Season 1 - Nora. I know, random, right?
Interesting start to the show - no opening song! Is this something new you’re trying? I dunno… I kinda like that music bump at the beginning. It gets us in the right mood to get the party started, as it were.
Matty says:
Well only 16 so odd minutes in and had to stop and make a comment already! On the whole global warming thing and natural disasters. I feel that the hurricanes, cyclones, and tsunamis aren’t a direct result of global warming, but the intensity and force they had was, in my opinion, amplified by the rising temperature of the earth overall as a result from global warming. Thus causing these storms and events to be much worse then they would have been say 200 years ago. But yes they have always been around and more then likely always will be. And I dont believe global warming could have anything to do with earthquakes, seeing as those involve only the shift of the earths tectonic plates.
Fausto Fernós says:
I was trying out something fresh and new, wanting to get to the discussion faster. What do you think?
Matty says:
I liked it. But the old way was great to. Great show. I think we should fly a penis over President Bush’s next speech and have a banner hanging from the nut sac saying “Feast of Fools!” that would be hilarious. I called and left you guys a voice mail saying “what the feast of fools means to me”, hope you got it.
Marc Felion says:
Matty, you are saying things like “I feel” or “in my opinion” when it comes to science and critical thinking. Give me some empirical data. The storm stuff always seems to be news hysteria.
Ogmaloki says:
I kinda miss the music bump.
Gold speckled glitter poop…. thats hot.
Fausto Fernós says:
Here’s some data so you know it’s not just in your head:
http://www.climatecrisis.net/thescience/
“Category 4 & 5 hurricanes have doubled in the past 30 years. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), this era of global warming “is unlikely to be entirely natural in origin” and “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence of the global climate.”
and here’s another:
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/
Matty says:
Well I use the phrases “I feel” and “in my opinion” only because I am stating my opinion based only on what I have learned over numerous teachings in high school and other things I have watched on the issue of global warming and climate. I hope I didn’t come off as a snob or a “know it all.
Thanks for the links Fausto. Here are couple I could find Marc.

Climate scientists have blamed global warming for a dramatic rise in the number of storms in the Atlantic over the past century. Their study showed the average number of storms that develop every year has doubled since 1905. They suggest the trend is due to the rise in sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic, a phenomenon with a well-established link to climate change. Tropical storms are powered by the energy in the oceans they pass over, with warmer sea surfaces leading to more intense storms. In the past century, the surface temperature of the Atlantic has risen by 0.7C. The increase in storm frequency was most recently visible in 2005, with more than double the average number of storms, including Hurricane Katrina, the most costly natural disaster in US history. It claimed almost 2,000 lives. ”

This site is also very informative overall.
CharlieBlue says:
All this talk about global warming is SUCH a bummer… maybe it’s the hot weather that’s making drag queens rob burger kings and make Mariah Carey fans go nuts!
Michael says:
Hey Guys, what a great show, thanks for having me on!
Cliff Dix says:
By the way when I was a kid I watched Dynasty, The Love Boat, and Charlie’s Angels. I also watched Hart To Hart with my mom. I remember how envious I was when I saw on TV that some mother and son got to visit the set of Hart To Hart. I wished that was me and my mom. Did I grow up gay? You bet I did! That kid watching Desperate Housewives is gay. Go for it.
Marc Felion says:
Michael, it was a pleasure. You are the perfect guest. You show up on time and you bring lots of news items to talk about. We get really excited when people put that type of thought and preparation into their appearance and really makes for a good show.
Matty says:
I totally grew up gay. I had the whole kit. My little pony toys, rainbow bright doll, a toy chest full of barbies and my most prised possesion, my Malbu Barbie dream RV. It was white with funky hot pink and teal 80’s graphics. Plus as a young preteen my mother, my sister, and I loved to watch golden girls and will & grace every evening on Lifetime.
Pete says:
michael is so funny and such a sexy bear! i’ve been checking his blog out and it’s great.
jackomatic says:

David says:
