Show notes

Despite being sent home too soon on season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Vivacious and her all-seeing sidekick Ornacia have been on pretty much every season of the show since.
Always a pioneer, Vivacious made her most recent guest appearance on Drag Race from the safety of her home in New York City by doing a voice over for Ornacia who was guest judging on an improvised skit called “The World’s Worst Drag Queen.”
And naturally, mother turned her sound clips into a single- Ornacia Reads: the fundamental mix, available on Apple Music.

Join us for this and all the hot tea hunty, okurrr?

Teri Garr talks about Surviving Hollywood, Tootsie, Star Trek and David Letterman Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

One of our earliest interviews, actress Teri Garr talks about her life and amazing acting career from her Oscar nominated role in Tootsie, her various appearances on David Letterman and how she almost became a regular cast member on Star Trek.
Originally air date Dec. 15, 2005. "FOF #211 – Does This Wheelchair Make Me Look Fat?"
____________________
Teri Garr considered naming her autobiography “Does This Wheelchair Make Me Look Fat?” But instead, she decided on “Speedbumps: Flooring it through Hollywood.” The result is a hilarious and touching book that begins with growing up in a vaudevillian family, dancing in Elvis Presley’s movies, winning an Oscar for her hilarious role in the film Tootsie, and then coming to terms and living with Multiple Sclerosis.
Considered by many to be one of the best comedic actresses in recent history, Teri Garr speaks candidly with hosts Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion about her work in such films as Tootsie and Young Frankenstein.
Listen as Teri Garr reveals the real reason why she has such great on-air chemistry with David Letterman, how she came up with the memorable line in Tootsie “I am responsible for my own orgasms” and how she got her television beginnings in Star Trek.
Her new autobiography “Speedbumps: Flooring it Through Hollywood” is available right now on Amazon.com by clicking the link below.

FOF #2854 – How to Survive Your Quarantine Honeymoon Apr 09, 2020

Show notes

When we first heard we’d be self isolating at home during the pandemic, we thought: great! We’ll get all those things done that we’ve been putting off, learn new skills and share time with the love of our life.
However, the reality for many of us is we’ve become championship nappers and stress eaters and we’re sharing so much love that we’re suffocating.
Today wellness consultant Michelle Keinan joins us to talk about being together 24/7 during the coronavirus pandemic with your love or just the folks you live with.
For years, therapist and mentor Michelle Keinan has worked with strong women to stop trying to take control of everything in their relationship, so they can have very sexy & satisfying marriages and she a lot to say on how any couple or friends can survive for long periods of time being isolated together.

FOF #2853 - The Adventures of Hattie, the Silver Sex Cougar Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Happiness in life comes from figuring out what you love to do and then making it your profession. Our friend 81 year old Hattie Retroage was born to be a healer, so she made it happen as a dance instructor, a therapist or in the bedroom as a senior sex symbol.
Years ago, Hattie stole the spotlight from Claudia Schiffer in a Dolce and Gabbana ad with her silver sexiness and since then she’s become an outspoken advocate for cougars.
Today Hattie, safe and sound from her home in Manhattan, joins us to talk about her roller coaster life as a sex symbol.
HATTIE: https://www.instagram.com/hattitudes1
Listen as Hattie talks about:
➤ Going topless on the Howard Stern Show.
➤ Choosing your own age in your mind.
➤ And protecting yourself from insults and heartbreaks.

My Life with Terrence McNally: Corpus Christi, Lips Together Teeth Apart Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

The lights on Broadway are dimmed in the early weeks of the coronavisu pandemic: the great playwright and dear family friend Terrence McNally died at the age of 81 as result of complications from COVID-19.
As you can imagine, we're deeply saddened by the news.
Family are people who share love. I consider Terrence family, in so many ways he was my gay uncle.
Back in high school mom and Terrence dated and stayed close friends throughout their lives.
Besides writing or being part of hundreds of amazing shows, plays and films, Terrence was someone who made it much much easier for me to come out as gay at the young age of 18.
Terrence's plays helped so many wonderful actors launch or reinvigorate their careers including Nathan Lane, Rita Moreno and Chita Rivera.
The character of Patricia in "Corpus Christi" is based on my mom Patricia, and the character of Latino performance artist extraordinaire Ramon Fornos in "Love! Valour! Compassion!" is (very loosely) based on me, Fausto Fernós.
I'm eternally grateful. Love wins. Please enjoy this encore presentation of our podcast with my mom Patricia Fernós on the life and work of her dear friend Terrence McNally.
Feast of Fun Show #1259, originally recorded Sep 27, 2010.
____________________
The gay passion play Corpus Christi, by Tony Award Winning playwright Terrence McNally, is one of the most controversial tellings of the “Greatest Story Ever Told.”
Taken in May of 1957, my mom Patricia Fernós (right) with her arm around Terrence McNally in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The play combines the story of Jesus with Terrence McNally’s own high school experience growing up in the conservative town of Corpus Christi, Texas.
What you may not know is that my mom Patricia Riddick-Fernós was close friends with Terrence in high school and even went on a dates with him. The character of Patricia Rudd in Corpus Christi is based on her.
I recently had the pleasure of introducing the play here in Chicago as part of the Pride Films and Plays series of The Great Plays of Terrence McNally
Join us as we talk to my mom Patricia over the phone about the play Corpus Christi, and her lifelong friendship with the Tony Award winning playwright Terrence McNally.
Plus all the hot news:
➤ Rev Eddie Long, the gay black pope of Atlanta feels he’s under attack and is going to fight the accusations that he coerced sex from young men. Although he denies it, he must have supplied it, because he isn’t touting his innocence either.
➤ Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, bad news- HIV infection in the U.S. is on the rise with dudes who have sex with dudes.
➤ Katy Perry fumbles on Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live.

FOF #2852 - Broadway Baby Colin O'Leary is All Grown Up Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

One thing we’ve long been fighting for is for everyone to fearlessly be themselves. So it’s great to see folks like Colin O’Leary shine on YouTube in his videos where he lip syncs rapid fire medleys of Broadway songs in wild costumes with full support of his family.
Today YouTube superstar Colin O’Leary, joins us to talk about how he started making his Broadway show tune lip sync videos in his family’s SUV while his mom Carol served up deadpan hilarity behind the wheel of the car.
Thankfully the only thing they’ve crashed into is RuPaul’s Drag Con.

FOF #2851 - Transgender Visibility Day is Everyday with Tracy Tyler Apr 04, 2020

Show notes

Back in the early days of Feast of Fun, when the trans visibility we have today wasn’t so visible, musician and actress Tracy Tyler lit up the podcast with her wild stories of meeting men for romantic rendezvous.
Since then, the world’s gotten to know trans and gender non conforming folks a lot better, but we still have a special place in our heart for our songbird Tracy Tyler who sang at our wedding and participated in so many of our online spoofs.
Today musician Tracy Tyler joins us to celebrate Transgender Visibility Day by looking back at her early days of being a podcasting superstar, staying safe at home as in the suburbs of Chicago and performing with us in drag as one of her alter egos – Candy Dick.

FOF #2850 - Silver, Sexy and Sixty-Nine Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

As we see gay folks living longer, there’s a new found appreciation for silver daddies and even grandpas as sex symbols.
But even though Dwayne Jonson and Paul Mason make aging look delicious, getting older isn’t always as sexy as it looks- your back hurts, the D don’t work and the text size on your phone is now set to “billboard.”
Today, gay publishing pioneer and now comedian Louis Weisberg joins us to look at aging and raging gracefully. What are the never ending ways your body betrays you and how to ride the rapids when going into your golden girls years?
