What an opening to the show! I laughed so hard when I heard the mp3 i sent in. Ronnie's comeback was so great that I dropped my ipod mini. Great show, as always. x

iTunes won't download today's show for some reason. =/

I-Tunes is being dodgy again.

Speaking of beans, a tip from my girlfriend's grandma:

Add a carrot to the pot when you boil the beans. As she says, "It takes the snaps out." (Snaps meaning farts, for those of us who are less refined.)

Throw the carrot away afterwards. Who knew? Another great use for carrots! (No, that's not what I mean, get your minds out of the gutter.)

Sorry folks, it was our 3rd party file measurement system getting the the way. :(

I took the code off and now everything seems to work.

Ahhh, it looks like I-Tunes is functioning again.
:)

"Snaps" heh!!
I love carrots!

Re: Vegetarian Food

Miss Ronnie, try to find a Quizno's Subs shop and try their vegetarian sandwich. I like it better than Subway's veggie. They put some protabello mushrooms in there, whooo boy! You don't miss the meat.

Also, if you have a California Pizza Kitchen restaurant there, they have a veggie foccacia sandwich that comes with a cup of soup (get the tortilla soup) and it's deliciious!

I'm not a vegetarian, but these are some of my favorite things. If you're trying to be Vegan, you'll probably have to ask them to hold the cheese.

Love ya, girl! Hang in there!

Podcasts are so fragile, aren't they!?

In terms of finding a CURE for HIV, I don't think it will be happening any time soon. If you look back at all the other viruses out in the world, we've not come up with a cure for any of them (as far as I know). In terms of a vaccination I'm sure we will eventually, it'll just take some time. Congrats on your grades Ms. Ronnie!!

Yay!!! Miss Ronnie is back. We love ya baby. Marc and Fausto, great show as always. I was crackin' up on my way to work. I just love you guys.

Said by: Anthony at May 18, 2006 02:38 PM

caught me by surprise!
i love miss ronnie! she puts a smile in my face!

Said by: jar at May 18, 2006 02:44 PM

YAY for Miss Ronnie's return that made my day at work today, was grinning from ear to ear. Not that I don't love you guys, Marc and Fausto, but Miss Ronnie was definatly missed!

Great show and very interesting points brought up. I work for the health care industry and on one hand I wish we had universal healthcare like other countries, but on the other hand I'd be out of a job and that might not be so fun.

Hey ya'll, Great show.. Welcome back Ms. Ronnie.. miss hearing your voice.. Ryan is my Baby-daddy so Fausto step back... he like's chocolate...lol

Great to have Ronnie back on the show again! She had me laughing the whole time, which was a big help and got me to feeling better.

I do agree with the idea that a cure for AIDS will not be a priority for drug companies, because they are making FAR too much profit on maintenance drugs. I live for the day that humanity is valued over profitability. We don't need to lose any more people than we already have!

Great show as always, guys!

Said by: David at May 19, 2006 07:50 AM

Is it OK that I started laughing so hard at the Robo-Ronnie that I started crying, and then I started really crying when we got the Real Ronnie?
Missed ya Babe ;D

Hands-down, THE best opening to a Feast of Fools show in recent memory. Welcome back Ronnie! I missed you honey. Congratulations on how well your classes have gone, and good luck with the future classes.

Now... on to serious stuff. I agree with Ronnie that a cure is on its way. It has to be. And I don't trust our pharmaceutical companies to find that cure. I agree that it will come from somewhere other than the US. And when it does, it will be interesting to see how quickly it will be available to the masses.

In the meantime, a positive mental attitude keeps me alive... as well as those gawd awful meds. But as bad as they are, they keep me, and Vicky, and Scott Free, and all of us inflicted with this virus, alive.

Love you guys... can't wait for next Saturday! :)
