Poly, Weakly: Episode 373 (They carried her on their shoulders; you should have seen it)

-CM tries to sex-up the word "blow-out"; the result is actually less sexy that a straight line reading.
-CM is podcasting from bed and then feels the need to tell us that it's less sexy than it sounds.  How does she do that?
-"Coming down the pipe," she said.  She could read erotica and it would sound like software source code being read through a loudspeaker by Ben Stein.
-She tells us that she will only take sponsorships that help the listeners.  Why take money unless it helps people?  Unless it's just panhandling.  That's still cool, right?  Right.
-She's doing this for us, who enable her con trips with donations.  Way to send conflicting messages, Minx.
-"We, activists".  There goes another term stripped of all meaning.
-Minx used to teach communications?  I can only picture her in a 70s community college classroom, wearing all denim and teaching CB etiquette.  Am I the only one?  Whatever,
liars.
-At 10:16, "Damn straight, take their money!"  Ladies and genitals, we have a new show tagline.
-Minx, when you have to say, "and this is funny," it's not. Ever.
-And this is where the podcast gets interesting!  See what I did there?
-She attended a lecture on monetizing talking and writing about sex.  Minx by way of Archer's Pam Poovey, "Sploosh!"
-Oh, it's not her goal at all, she laboriously explains, but man-oh-man did this lecture have some great stuff and yes, she took copious notes.
-"If your audience wants you to keep coming on the face, then keep coming on the face,"  so yes, audience she's been coming on your face.
for nearly 400 episodes.  It's empowering!?  No, that explanation always rang hollow, even here.
-She relays some really good information regarding assumptions about sex workers.  I wish I had heard the original lecture.  Seriously.
-Minx participated in an event where they tell stories on stage about sex, no notes.  She told a story about anal sex.  Okay.  Turns out it got the most riotous
laughter of anything she has ever done.  The crowd probably foisted her on their shoulders and carried her out like Rudy.  Oh, and she forgot to record it.
-The callers.  Oh sweet Jebus, one of them sounds way too much like my father-in-law.  Just as long-winded.  Oh never mind, he has a job.  Crisis averted.
