Gregg loves his new firecracker red Feast of Fools mug, but he especially likes it because it holds 15 oz. instead of the regular 10 ounces that most mugs hold. Gregg says now he doesn’t have to take as many trips from his basement office to his kitchen in order to refill his cup.

I know what you’re thinking. Either Gregg lives in a great big house, or he has an unhealthy aversion to exercise.

On today’s show, the truth comes out! Gregg shares with us his touching and painful story of when he was a young gay man in the late 70s when he worked as a towel boy in a cruisey men’s locker room at a gym in Chicago.

What happened in that locker room that lead to his lifelong aversion to exercise? Listen and find out Gregg’s “rosebud” moment.

Join us as we talk with Gregg about being a young gay man in a age before AIDS, in a time when Olivia Newton John was a sex symbol, personal ads in gay rags ruled the earth, bears were creatures that lived in the forest and the gay clone look meant mustaches and flannel t-shirts instead of Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch hoodies.

Speaking of which, the controversial clothing line Abercrombie & Fitch may be on it’s way out. As one online poll suggests, their models aren’t as “pretty” as Hollisters. Who will win? cast your vote. The future of fashion could very well depend on you.

Join Gregg, Marc and me, Fausto as we talk about some of the odd things in the news such as jealous Chinese woman forces boyfriend to reduce his man-breasts because they are bigger than hers, a woman sues an airline because of a frisky seat mate, another woman gets a brand new behind and she didn’t even need one and a man has a male member painted on his roof top for the whole world to see.
