FOF #356 - Egg-vertising - 07.31.06


It's almost like a sign saying "These eggs are NOT the freshest you can find." CBS television has partnered up with some egg making company to put advertising slogans for their tv shows on the shells. We don't make this stuff up folks.
What kind of slogans would you come up with to promote the Feast of Fools podcast on eggshells? We came up with a few good ideas here. Share yours on the comments page, we promise not to advertise on any eggs now or in the future.
On today's show the Rev. DJ and his Italian stallion boyfriend Tony come over to hang with thy flaming blue one and his sexi-mexican friend César to pontificate about all sorts of eggceptional topics.
Sorry I couldn't help myself. Wont you take a moment and vote for us for a People's Choice Award? It takes the will of you, the people to help us win this historic award. (The first GLBT category for a podcast, don't you know.)
Also today, Fausto says good bye to his lovely and talented sister Talia who is leaving the windy city of Chicago to pursue her dreams of showbusiness in the big exciting world of high mathematics at UCLA! That's Dr. Talia to you good people. Bye Talia! I'll miss you so SO much.
The podcast that is always on the F-list, but never on the F-U list- the Feast of Fools.

"It's the podcast that's as good for you as a plateful of eggs. BLUE eggs, that is!"
Something like that on an egg.

I like the part of the show when it comes to a screeching halt when STRAIGHT people are invited to a party to get hooked up with other single straight people? Damn. I thought this was the show that makes your iPod go gay!

I'm more confused than ever! How does Cesar want his name pronounced? (I'm serious.)
: )

Say-sar? See-sur? Let's call the whole thing off.
Said by: Daryl at July 31, 2006 09:40 AM
omg - slim Italians? Pasta good for you? What are you guys talking about? Every italian I know is obese. Ever watch any TV show with an italian on it? Pasta is all carbs!
Said by: O. at July 31, 2006 10:06 AM
Thats true. You better watch it Tony. Step away from the mostacelli. Put down the puttanesca. Easy there...
Said by: Fausto at July 31, 2006 10:46 AM
In my baby defense..it's all in moderation with anything. Having a well balanced diet with a normal workout schedule.
Said by: REVdj at July 31, 2006 10:55 AM
Listen kids! Here is the easiest way to pronounce my name.
SESS-AHR.
SESS-AHR.
Repeat with me:
SESS-AHR.
Do it this way, and you will always sound like Fausto, who hits it right over and over. No Latino genes required!
And if that doesn't work, just call me Cesar like the salad or the emperor, ok? I gotta teach all my whiteys some lessons! You listening, Jason?
And regarding the pasta-italian-obese-carb issue, remember that one serving of pasta (and one serving is healthy) is only a *half cup* of cooked pasta. That's it! Don't be filling up two giants plates and think you'll stay slim! Gotta watch those portions. Keep it hot, everyone. We can't fight the war on ugly if we can't get up out of our Lay-Z-Boys to go to the battlefield.

I think its SEH-sar. Right?
[not SEE-sar or SAY-sar]
The e sounds like Melons.
You don't say Mee-lons or May-lons.
Now can we call the whole thing off?
Said by: Fausto at July 31, 2006 01:12 PM
LOL
Now all of you can see what it is like to have a name like Cesar or Olivier!

Hey Cesar! Just wanted to tell ya I feel for ya. I can't even remember how many times people have butchered my first name...and I'm not even going to go there with my last name. Anyway, hang in there! :)
Said by: Alejandro at July 31, 2006 04:07 PM
Welcome back Rev DJ! I'm glad he's seeing someone but he's been gone too long! Nice to meet ya, Tony!
And I loved the health talk today. As a fellow Italian, I have to side with Tony. Pasta is a healthy food. It's all in the preperation and portion.
Fausto, I laughed my ass off when you mentioned seeing a woman filling her baby's bottle with Diet Coke. I recently went to a health seminar my company provided and the speaker called soda "liquid candy." We've just been raised in this country to think of soda as a drink option to, say, water. I guess that's why that woman thought it was OK to do that.
And to O, if you want to see a thin Italian, check out the show "Everyday Italian" on the Food Network. The host, Giada, is definitely not fat.

You guys made an incredibly boring day at work a bit more tolerable. I want to make two comments on topics you guys discussed today:
1. HIV/AIDS no longer instills fear in today's GLBT youth. Perhaps that is because contraction of HIV is no longer a guaranteed death sentence as was before drugs to hinder the progression of said virus we abundantly available. The disservice being done is that we are not informing these young people of the fact that these are drugs are not a cure. They merely help manage the virus and, hopefully, prevent its progression into full-blown AIDS. We do not stress the fact that once infected a person must remain on these drug cocktails for the rest of their life or until a cure is found for which there is no guarantee. Have we found a cure for cancer yet? The GLBT publications never really inform of these facts and they certainly never present the toll it takes on ones life from a financial standpoint. Perhaps we talked money to our youth that might make an impression. "Sorry, but no N'Sync CD for you! That money has to go for your HIV medication." You catch my drift?
2. Leave Tony alone! It's good for a man to cry occassionally and express his emotions. Otherwise one could become this guy: http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/Content?
oid=oid%3A101480.
(That's the cover story this week for the publication I work for in Atlanta.)
That was a long rant, but I feel better now. And I didn't even have to have a good cry! LOL
P.S. I cast my vote for the FOF podcast today.
Said by: Jim at July 31, 2006 04:41 PM
Alejandro understands me!
Said by: Cesar at July 31, 2006 05:22 PM
Yep! Oh! And I look forward to seeing you in Austin in a few weeks. I wrote an email to Fausto and Marc but I don't think they got to it so....can ya give me a lil' shout or something next time? That way I can brag to the hubby that Cesar said hello. :o)
Said by: Alejandro at July 31, 2006 06:25 PM
We can send back an autographed Feast of Fools T-Shirt to your hubby! Did you buy him one yet? Anyone going to the Austin Meet N Greet: BUY A SHIRT, so Reverend DJ, Marc, Fausto and I can autograph it!!!!!!!!!
Said by: Cesar at July 31, 2006 06:59 PM
Oh I was just about to order one! But wait! If I get HIM an autographed one....then *I* won't have one! Doh! Clearly the only option here is to buy one for myself and then tease him relentlessly. I'd say that's a good plan, no? *muah ha ha ha ha*
Said by: Alejandro at July 31, 2006 07:06 PM
All I have to say is:
"Chicken Pride"
And SESS-AHR, I will make sure to cover both the annoying and wonderful while in Japan. I didn't want to talk too much about it or I would have no material for my segments
Thanks for the shoutout today! It was a wonderful surprise in my boring workday.
<3 J
Said by: Jordan Hochstetler at July 31, 2006 07:52 PM
Thank you John in DFW and Jim... I'm glad to hear you're feeling me.
I've always been the affectionate, emotional one. Even when I was a kid my mom used to say, "Anthony will give you kisses.." And one year I wanted a guitar so bad for Christmas, I started crying when I opened it. It's beneficial to others actually that I can't hide my feelings... you'll always know where you stand with me.
As for the pasta, it IS healthy... of course not in huge bowlfuls. The Rev. DJ will tell you... he ain't mad about how I look physically.
He and I have found something extraordinary and it's because we are honest, healthy and happy with the connection we have found. Thank you guys.
Un bacio grande per voi da me,
Tony
Said by: Tony at July 31, 2006 10:10 PM
All I could say is Cesar is dumb! He is annoying and pointless. Taking up space on the podcast. I dont like his laugh, it annoys the S**T out of me. And Sorry if people cant get your name right on the first try. At least people gave it a try. You dont have to get all anal about it and throw a tantrum.
By the way, where is Amanda? Could she be in jail or she on vacation? I miss her!!! Hey AMANDA!!

It was Bill Clinton like Fausto said, not Bush.
Said by: George at August 1, 2006 05:49 AM
Julian, there is nothing wrong with people wanting others to get their name right. It's just a common courtesy. I can't say that i've ever heard Cesar throw a tantrum over it. He's one of the most interesting and funny guests on the FOF. Long may he continue to be involved.
Said by: Gary at August 1, 2006 08:31 AM
Here are two "egg-celent" slogans:
It's the podcast that will leave you shell-shocked...and we know you like that kind of thing!
It's the podcast that will fill you full of protein...if you know what we mean!
It's the podcast that is always "over easy"...The Feast of Fools.
Said by: David at August 1, 2006 10:12 AM
Gary, thanks for the kind words! I am only as good as the support from my fans. Julian, you soung fiery hot. Smooches!
Said by: Cesar at August 1, 2006 10:40 AM
I'm with Tony on the pasta thing. As someone who's been to Italy about 10 times, I can tell you that they are all in damn fine shape over there. I eat pasta every day there and I still come back to the US weighing less than before. And you can't compare Italians in the US to those over in Italy. Here's why:
1) Lunch at 1-2 pm is the main meal of the day, and at lunch most folks go home to a small plate of pasta, some sort of meat or fish, a bit of salad and some fresh fruit.
2) Dinner is usually light - a salad and a sandwich, some lightly breaded fried or baked chicken, more fish. It's rarely eaten late.
Portions are just that - portions. Not the bottomless bowl of noodles at Olive Garden. And on that point, Fausto is totally right about what they put in the food in restaurants. It's made to taste good, not be good for you.
Said by: Frank at August 1, 2006 11:25 PM
Am I right in thinking that the Italians tend to separate food groups and not have a whole bunch of different types at once? there's a Dr Gillian Mckeith who's a nutritionist, and she says you can eat what you want in moderation, but not together. The body needs to digest certain things in certain ways and cannot absorb nutrients when it is all combined.
My Italian friends always serve the most simple of pasta dishes. Meats and fish are another meal altogether, such as Osso Bucco. I've never had a real Italian meal that combined pasta AND lots of meat/fish.
Furthermore...restaurants have to make a very large profit margin. The bigger the better. Therefore, saturated fat isn't a problem for them if it tastes good and makes you full and is cheap.
Not so sure Italians are all super slim, but they seem to live longer.
About the comment of Mexicans going over to the US and getting fat? same with Indians in England. They work hard in their native countries and then suddenly there's an easier way of life and same food habits.

Going vegan is easy, it's simple and of course it is the best thing you could possibly do for your health and for ending animal suffering. If you want some hot, delicious recipies go to:
