Ring My Bell

It's finally happened! Today I am joined by Mike, my co-host from my other podcasts Back to the Futurama and Good Morning Greendale. We talk about our various fertility conundrums, the oddity of masturbating in any number of random rooms for testing purposes, the fall and rise and fall of the Cool Ranch version of the Doritos Locos Taco, and the very concept of trash food itself. Ben gets a delivery. Mike makes a tier list.

When you live in a place with Tex-Mex as good as Texas, do you actually go to Taco Bell? What is the point? We go on a lot of tangents about other restaurants because we live in two different foodie cities but still love Taco Bell. The other thing Texas has going on is it trying to block access to pornography. We talk about those ups and downs, too.

THE RUMORS OF MY DEATH WERE GREATLY EXAGGERATED; RING MY BELL IS BACK, BABY! And to kick off the return of Ring My Bell, I have my first return guest! Lindsey returns to talk about what's new with both Taco Bell and masturbation since 2020. We talk about the Mexican Pizza (another notable return), the Lem vibrator, audio erotica, and a little tangent about Our Flag Means Death.

We're going international for the first time to get a New Zealand perspective on the burgeoning Taco Bell market there. We talk about difference in the menu and trying Taco Bell for the first time after a lifetime of having no access to it. We also, of course, talk about masturbation. Because it is National Masturbation Day, after all. Please enjoy the day responsibly.

Theorizing that one could host a podcast about National Masturbation Day within his own lifetime, Ben led an elite one-man team to develop a secret podcast known as "Ring My Bell." Pressured to provide an episode for 2023, Ben stepped into the guest spot and talked about masturbation. Fortunately, hosting was maintained through microphone transmissions with Temma, previous guest and friend of the pod. Trapped in the guest spot, Ben finds himself talking about his favorite Taco Bell menu items and masturbation, and hoping each time that the next episode will be the leap back into the host spot.

It's the Second Annual Wanksgiving episode and I am joined by Gwendolyn B. We talk about the return of the Mexican Pizza, the ideal Wanksgiving Taco Bell order, and a very surprising story about a Hitachi Magic Wand.

In the very first ever episode recorded IN PERSON (sorry for a little audio echo, by the way), I'm talking to two good friends about the quickness with which new Taco Bell items are born only to die, foreign fast food options, vibrators, romance novels, animated gifs, and so much more. Annette was kind enough to write some additional show notes for the episode for all her romance book recommendations. She writes: http://rubydixon.com/wordpress/series/ice-planet-barbarians/ the blue aliens https://www.kitrocha.com/series/the-beyond-series/ The Beyond series or how I learned to stop worrying and love blow job scenes. But seriously though, one of the finest romance series I've read. A complete story in itself, broken up into each couple's book. And also 🔥🔥🔥 Crashpad: lesbian/queer porn series https://crashpadseries.com/ Nico Rosso (I got his name slightly wrong). http://nicorosso.com/ I read Unsolicited Duke Pic, which was delightful and Contactless Pickup, which is possibly the only sexy thing about lock down. Eva Leigh http://evaleighauthor.com/. Highly recommend the Union of the Rakes series. Also, in an earlier version of this episode, Maggie made a comment about not being able to relate to women’s bodies in porn and used some skinny-shaming rhetoric. As a self-proclaimed fat lady, she deeply regrets the comment - no one’s body deserves to be shamed, no matter the size. She apologizes for the comment and any harm it may have caused, and is committed to unpacking that impulse and being better going forward.

It's National Masturbation Day! And as such, I'm talking to my former roommate Nate. We talk about how the cheesy gordita crunch is the perfect food, how great baja blasts are, and also quite a lot about sex toys. There's a nonzero chance this episode will be the most you have ever heard about fleshlights in your entire life.

Today I'm joined by Kevin for a very big new holiday: Wanksgiving! We talk about the return of the grilled cheese burrito, the various things Taco Bell has cancelled (including the Taco Bell Dog), and a whole lot about pornography. Happy Wanksgiving, everybody!

What do Taco Bell's potatoes and the podcast Ring My Bell have in common? They have both risen from the ashes like a fiery phoenix on this day, March 11th. To kick off season 2, I'm joined by Kate from the podcast Christmastide, Ohio. We talk about the difference between Taco Bell at home and actual Taco Bell. We also do what we do best: make some Futurama references. We also accidentally invent a new bumper sticker and we talk about the problem with looking for attractive guys in porn.

Today I'm joined by Daniel of the Concept podcast (and many others!). We talk about their lack of experience with Taco Bell and also the importance of fried chicken and various hot sauces. I give advice about quintessential Taco Bell and also sex toys, and we go on quite a side track about ethics in pornography.

Long time supporter of this show and all my other shows, Laura joins me to talk about nachos as a time bomb, the 5-Layer burrito, romance books, Penthouse Forums, and also Alf makes a surprise appearance. Well, I guess if you read these before listening to the episode, Alf won't be a surprise. But I promise we have a lot of fun along the way.

I'm joined by friend of the podcast Temma who talks about a love of fanfic and an unfortunate string of bad luck with Taco Bell. (She loves Taco Bell anyway.) Plus we get what could sort of be looked at as the beginnings of the podcast many years ago with a drunk game of Ask Me Anything.

Today I'm joined by Amity of the Latecomers podcast. As the first guest to have worked at a Taco Bell we get some behind-the-counter tales of what goes on at an actual Taco Bell. I also give her some porn suggestions and she tells me about a short-lived tradition called "porn breakfast."

Today I'm joined by Mike from the Stool Pigeons podcast where we talk about being "lazy vegetarians" and the plethora of vegetarian options at Taco Bell. (Sadly this was recorded before we knew about the impending demise of the 7 Layer Burrito. Rest in peace, old friend, but with light sour cream.) We also talk about the difficulty in finding interesting porn and Mike talks about his interest in erotica.

Today I'm talking with James of "World Beyond the Tale" and a future, unnamed Clone High podcast! We're talking about a time long ago when Taco Bell had barbacoa and James has some serious feelings about it. We also talk about some vibrating toys for those of us with penises that I just never even considered. Sideshow Bob and the N64 Rubmle Pak each make an appearance in case you thought this episode wasn't going to be weird.

Here's a little mini episode wherein I talk about (Inter)national Masturbation Day! It's a holiday with some surprising origins, some surprising events, and is dedicated to jerkin' off. What's not to love? Also, check out the video about "The Bell" at https://www.tacobell.com/the-bell-hotel/index.html.

Today I'm joined by Lindsey of the Historical Hotties podcast. Lindsey is the first brave soul to talk about masturbation BEFORE talking about Taco Bell. We talk a lot about sex toys and I get quite an education in fanfic and why women are into slash. Frankly, I never knew! Maybe you didn't either, and now you know. We also talk about the one and only thing Lindsey likes at Taco Bell.You can find out more about Lindsey's podcast at https://www.historicallyhot.com/

Today I'm joined by Libby and Brayden from the Bideo Game podcast! We talk about some hometown Taco Bell stories and try to guess how much certain foods we've eaten and how it compares to being in a bathtub. We also compare sitting vs. laying down masturbation styles, ask if porn is too... "kitschy?"... and compare notes on the first devices we ever looked for porn on. Spoiler, I am quite a few years older than both my guests today.

Today I'm joined by Elizabeth from "Your Fave is Problematic" and "FMK All Day" where we discuss the same thing I'll be discussing on every episode of this brand new podcast: Taco Bell and masturbation. It's two of our favorite things, after all.We accidentally find some interesting listings on eBay, do some math about Taco Bell's hot sauce, and Elizabeth tells me all about how she used to sell sex toys. I'm asked about the strangest place I've ever masturbated.Anyway, this is a brand new and very weird podcast. Tell your friends...?
