I knew Ben hated me! I knew it! *g* But aww, I’m very happy to be a roving reporter on your show. And I swear, I’ll totally call the Lard Line! I kept meaning to call on the bus or subway, but they’ve been really loud lately, you mostly would have heard street announcements and so on. (Also since I comment on almost every single podcast, I think I should get a break.)

I totally agree about how important it is to learn how to accept and love yourself. And then thing is, a “system” can’t help you do that–you have to do it for yourself, and to a certain extent, by yourself. Feminism and size acceptance has given me frames to look at the world and myself in relation to it, but I’m the only one who really knows me, so I have to do the work to learn to accept myself (sans hypnosis. Okay, I’ll stop giving that lady shit about that now). Not to mention, if your self-acceptance is still based on stupid shit like being “slim,” what the hell happens if you gain the weight back? Where’s your self-acceptance then?

It sounded like Ben said “emu music,” which would be pretty cool. Nothing but mooing.

Doesn’t Ben like Fall Out Boy too? Didn’t you say you heard them through him? Either way, he can stop making fun of you–who turns down a free concert? As for me, I have unironic Fall Out Boy love, so I don’t care. My internet porn > Dungeons and Dragons.

Didn’t you make me watch Willard because you had a thing for Crispin Glover? I think because he reminded you of someone you had a crush on (possibly Roy)?

Maybe Ben’s phone is trying to tell him that it wants to fuck his cock. Wouldn’t that kind of make it the perfect piece of technology–you can make phone calls, and it makes you come! (Now I’m just picturing Ben when his phone dies: “I love my dead gay phone!” You’ll love it after it’s gone, Ben, and wish you had accepted it while it was still there for you to appreciate it.)

Jane Fonda’s not dead! Clearly you need to watch the Colbert Report: Fonda and Gloria Steinem went on for a bit called “Cooking with Feminists” and talked about their radio show. Jane Fonda is awesome.
