What was up with that RED carpet?Ding ding, Round Two! Barak Obama and John McCain face-off once again in the fight for America’s Presidency, stabilizing the economy and our hearts.

What was up with that red carpet? It hurt my eyes!

Wasn’t it great when Tom Brockaw told McCain to get out of the way so he could finish the show?

Obama came across once again as eloquent, well informed and level headed. Is America ready to have a competent leader? I think so, Yes we can! Nail McCain to the wall Obama!

What does the sound of a failing political campaign sound like? “TERRORISM!” Last weekend Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain both directly declared their political opponent associated with terrorists and even scoff indifferently when their supporters jokingly threatened to kill Senator Obama. Is this what the election has boiled down to?

One way the Republicans can win this election is to simply lock away Sen. Obama in Guantanamo bay, but as Harold and Kumar showed in their movie, it’s way easy to escape.

The Carpenter's HalloweenI went with Michael Lehet to see the Scooty and JoJo’s Carpenter’s Halloween, a reenactment of Halloween John Carpenter’s Halloween set to the music of the Carpenters. It’s truly an odd mix of horror and camp. If you are a fan of camp, drag, the movie Halloween or the music of the Carpenters then this is a must see for you.

Get your tickets now if you want good seats. Also, the set is in FULL COLOR and you won’t believe how good it looks!

Michael and I also saw Watch Out based on Joseph Suglia’s book that features the super sexy Matt Riddlehoover as narcissistic Jonathan Burrows, who is only sexually attracted to himself and even makes love to a blow up doll that looks like himself.

RiddlehooverThrough Jonathan’s journey we encounter many strange characters, all of whom are sexually attracted to the very handsome protagonist but in who he has no interest whatsoever. He delivers a condescending diatribe against them about why he would never find them attractive and even kills some of them. This movie is a totally over the top cross between Strangers with Candy and Jeffrey Dahlmer.

Michael convinced me to go the Improv Everywhere’s MP3 Chicago which I initially didn’t want to go because it sounded a bit hokey- I was to download an mp3 audio file, be at a specific location and do what ever it told me to do at a precise time. Now, I’ve seen enough X-Files or Twilight Zone episodes to know how terribly wrong things like this can go. For all I know it could have turned me into a government assassin.

Marc at Improv EverywhereBut, after a long night partying with Miss Tracy Tyler we all hopped in the car and experienced what turned out to be a very fun day. Sometimes it is fun to do just let yourself go and let someone else call the shots. And I totally kicked ass in the Epic Battle.

Listen as we talk about the bizarre Anglican Reverend Peter Mullen, who suggests tattooing gay men’s butts with health warning signs. How about tattooing priests faces with “Religion can seriously damage your mental health.”

What’s the secret to the Beckhams beautiful skin?
Bird Poop! Yes, they are both getting sh*tfaced for beauty. Its an exotic beauty treatment for Japan.

Nailing the Jell-O to the wall every time- Feast of Fools.

  • Marc,

    To clarify on what’s going on in California, supporters of 8 have raised an incredible amount of money that is being spent on very expensive TV ads that are running up and down the state 24/7. We (EQCA, Equality for All, No on 8) are on budget with our fundraising but we underestimated just how much they would raise. We are therefore now behind in fundraising and consequently falling behind in the polls. Unfortunately, its come down to the side with the most money wins.

    You are spot on with your comment on wasted resources…these funds can be much better spent on poverty, education and healthcare initiatives. But this is our reality.

    It is so hard to keep asking people for money, especially in this economy, but it has to be done. We don’t have a choice. Thanks for continuing to bring the issue up on the show!

    $1, $10, $100, $1,000 no amount is too large or too small!!!

  • PS…

    Enjoyed the show. We all love your guests but its nice just to have you guys every once in a while.

  • @Fausto - I was blonde for years and then finally decided it was time to move on….people still ask me when I’m going to do it again.

    You’re always hacking the system aren’t you? That should be a sitcom - “Feast of Fools goes to College”

    I got it…there’s no E in her name LOL!!!!

  • Welcome back to Chicago, Fausto!

  • Having sex with Skelator dressed as a twenty year old would be like humping a bag of staples. I’m sure McCain puts his money to good use in finding an alternative to that. Unless her teeth are falsies and she gums him. In that case, she might be worth it.

  • “non-committed but committed… celebrity reality TV show guests”

    I’m crossing my fingers that one of them is Reichen Lehmkuhl!

    *snicker*

  • Here’s the crap TV ads we have to listen to here in CA from the Yes on Prop 8 camp.

  • No E in who’s name Michael?

    Rhea, it’s not Reichen. Sorry!

  • I have a bizarre idea. Have a pledge athon for No on 8. People who donate 20.00 or more to no on 8 would be able to have 20 or so seconds for a message on the podcast. We send our email reciept to the show for verification, but i think it may be a good way to inspire us coming up with some money for the cause.

  • Sounds like a good idea Matt!

  • @Fausto - In Tracy Tylers name : -)

  • I was being semi-serious. Semi-serious, because an interaction between you and Reichen would be comedy gold. He’s pretty, but he seems a little on the blonde side.

  • Yeah! I put the nightingale droppings on my face too when I break out and it really does work.. It smells a bit musky right after you wet it, but it WORKS, especially if you leave it on over night.. It’s great. You have to be really strong to get over the whole idea that you’re putting dried bird shit on your face, but you have to remember that it’s UV filtered, so all the nasty stuff is killed - at least mine is. I loooove it.

  • Okay, now THREE people who all have pretty faces like Kate swear by the nightingale bird poop facials. Will someone PLEASE mail us a jar to see if this stuff works? :)

    Send bird poop face cream to:
