Feast of Fun: Gay Talk Show Hosted by Fausto Fernós & Marc Felion

When training for any athletic event, a lot can go wrong. Even worse: your mind can start playing tricks on you. So it helps a great deal to have a great coach guide you on the road to become a legend.

Let’s Grow Big Together! The podcast that climbs the Stairmaster along with you, but not on the same machine, cause people are gonna look.

In this series, we’re taking a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to put on the gains.

Today, I’m just a few weeks out from my first bodybuilding contest at the young age of 51, and we’re thrilled to introduce you to my coach Matt Claussen.

As a powerlifter, Matt Claussen is highly regarded as a four time National Powerlifting Champion.
As a bodybuilder, Matt Claussen has won five major championships including first place in the 2005 NPC East Coast Classic and guided over 75 clients to get stage ready for their own contests.

One of the deadliest drugs facing Americans these days is fentanyl, whose potency makes it a cheap way to boost the high of other recreational drugs. Even the smallest amounts of the substance can turn a good time into the last time.

Thankfully the nasal inhalant Narcan can save a person’s life by quickly reversing the symptoms of a lethal drug overdose. So why aren’t more schools and public spaces making it available?

Today comedian, performance artist and trauma clown John Michael joins us to look at Narcan and drug overdoses. In his new show Spank Bank Time Machine, John Michael explores drugs, sex positivity and time travel as he pays tribute to the brilliant lives of his friends who died from drug overdoses.

When we think of classic spooky voices, the dictations of Hollywood's great golden age actor Vincent Price haunt our minds.

Besides starring in some of Hollywood’s biggest golden age horror films, Vincent Price spent his life actively speaking out against bigotry, racism, anti-semitism and homophobia.

The sounds of grizzly ghouls from every tomb that close in to seal your doom are forever immortalized also with Vincent Price’s rap from Michael Jackson’s hit song, Thriller.

Today comedian Dan Cass joins us to celebrate the amazing life of queer Hollywood horror legend Vincent Price, from turning people to wax statues in House of Wax to doing TV ads for bathroom cleaners, credit cards, candy bars, Time Life books, toys, wine coolers for both non dairy creamer and the national dairy council.

It’s been 21 years since Jim Verraros made TV history as the first contestant from the reality TV show American Idol to come out as gay. Although he wasn’t allowed to talk about his sexuality on the show, by coming out during the promotional tour he paved the way for other closeted gay entertainers to fearlessly be themselves.

People like Clay Aiken, David Archuleta and Adam Lambert and even Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass owe a lot to people like Jim Verraros.

Following his glow up on reality television, Jim became a queer comedy film regular with his appearances in the Eating Out and Another Gay Movie franchises, and even had a Billboard chart hit with his song "You Turn It On.”

Today Jim Verraros, star of American Idol and the Eating Out franchise joins us to celebrate his return to music with his playful new single “Take My Bow” which he lip synced on Instagram during his crossfit class.
