Left of Str8 Show Scott Fullerton

Today’s Show we have our weekly Bonus Segment, “5 Questions With…”, where we add 5 more random and often silly questions to our special interview guests from the previous week. First up in the hot seats are Entrepreneurs and Best Friends, Luke Deardurff and Jonathan Mayo. Luke is an amazing pastry chef who won this year’s Spring Baking Championship on the Food Network. He is taking his winnings and opening a new business, High End Bakery Edibles, that will be opening soon in NYC. His best friend Jonathan Mayo created an oral history project called “Cleaning Closets,” that told stories from both sides of the closet door, lgbtq+ people coming out of the closet and their friends and loved ones on the other side who are affected by their coming out. He has now founded a new entertainment company, creating events and other productions.

Secondly, Coming back this week is Media Mogul, Philanthropist, Art Collector, and now Author, Salah Bachir, who’s new book is coming out in just 2 short weeks and is titled, “First to Leave the Party: My Life with Ordinary People... Who Happen to be Famous.”

Today’s Show we have a special double interview with two great guys that are each accomplished in their own right, but they just happen to be besties since their college days. Luke Deardurff is an amazing pastry chef who WON the latest season of Spring Baking Championship. He is currently turning that prize money and working with investors to open a brand new business, “High End Bakery” specializing in edibles. His bestie, Jonathan Mayo is an amazing lgbtq advocate and his first venture, “Cleaning Closets,” is a fantastic oral history project, telling stories of those coming out of the closet and the stories of their friends and family. He has recently began a new venture also in advocacy and I have a great chat with these two great guys.

Today’s Show I’m delighted to have a true luminary in the world of business and media. Joining us from the great white north of Canada, is the multifaceted Salah Bachir. A titan in the realms of cinema and magazines and a true force in the world of art.

Salah's impressive career is marked by innovation, creativity, and an indomitable spirit that is distinctly Canadian. As a philanthropist, a patron of the arts, and a business magnate, he truly embodies a blend of heart and hustle. From helming some of the most read entertainment magazines, to launching video empires, and working with some of the leading names in the entertainment industry, Salah has now put some of his impressive life on paper in his new book, “Salah Bachir: First to Leave The Party: My Life With Ordinary People” Let's dive deep into the life of this remarkable man. And welcome to the Left of Str8 Show for the very first time, Mr. Salah Bachir

Today’s Show we have our bonus interview segment, because if it’s Tuesday, it’s time for “5 Questions With…” where we put our guests from the previous week on the hot seat with 5 often silly, sometime serious bonus questions after their interview. Today we bring back Screenwriter and Comedian Mikey Montemayor and Legendary Playwright and Drag Artist Charles Busch, so here we go…….

Mikey Montemayor:

1) If you could reboot any movie or television show and write for it, what would you resurrect?

2) You are on stages for comedy all the time, which would be your least favorite to be on stage for; Karaoke or a Danceoff

3) You're on a deserted island and can have only one comedy movie with you. And one Comedy Legend that you are stranded with What's your pick for each?

4) We have Lip Sync Battles, Who would you want to do a stand-up comedy battle, and why? And who do you think would win?

5) If your jokes were a vehicle, what type would they be? A speedy sports car, a leisurely bicycle, or perhaps a clown car?

Charles Busch:

1. You have created so many of your own fantastic characters, Which Broadway play or musical character, past or present, do you secretly wish you had written or played in drag?

2. If aliens landed tomorrow and you had to introduce them to drag with one performance, which of yours would you choose to represent Earth?

3. Kathy Griffin is hosting Salons now with people you’ve worked with like Margaret Cho and Rosie O’Donnell, you have met, talked or worked with such amazing people from Anjelica Houston, to Linda Lavin, to Joan Rivers, who would you have loved seeing host one and who would you want to attend with?

4. Has there ever been a prop or costume piece that either went hilariously wrong on stage or that you've grown surprisingly attached to?

5. You’ve written this amazing book about your life, who’s life story would you love to read about that maybe hasn’t been written yet?
