Hello there, everyone. Welcome back to buffering the Vampire Slayer, where we talk about the many incredible pursuits of our favorite hero, Jonathan.

This week I have a very special guest host, friend of the pod, podcaster, extraordinary, vanity, fair writer, and all-around dreamboat, Joanna Freaking Robinson.

We have a fashion watch from K-Leath, a sexual tension award segment from Jenny Owen Young's, and a song with four different voices, including a new addition to the buffering universe with the voice of Giles, Wonder Who's It Gonna Be?

Not me, even though that was a wonderful vocal performance I just delivered.

Okay, we're gonna get right into the episode today. I just have a couple things for you. First, the sexual tension award winners from last episode.

So we are talking about who are you? I know you all like when we do the winners together so you can get Jenny's responses in real-time, live time.

So today I texted Jenny, I asked her for her response to these results. First I'm gonna tell you the results, 3% last place, faith, and the lady dancer.

Third place, 13% for Joyce and Steve Adore, Giles, 33% maybe the first time that they have not won when they've been nominated, Willow and Tara, and 50, complete, percent for faith and champagne popped spike.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I was gonna say that. It just happened.

Jenny's response to me was, oh hell yeah, leather gate. My main response is, and then she sent me a photo of us doing our live taping at PondCon where her face is flat on the table as I read aloud the monologue faith delivers to spike the abovey's body.

So that's kind of what you'd get. If Jenny were sitting here with me right now while I was doing this intro, I hope you enjoy it.

Hey, you know what we're gonna jump right into? Yeah, you do.

Cool. So spiders are gonna eat every human on the planet within less than a year if they decide to. So it's really up to them.

So before they've decided not to, but apparently this is a report from the sun, a UK paper. It's always the UK given spooky news and I, oh, there's a horrible picture of a spider in this article that I just scrolled down to and I'm upset.

Put a call out to all of you to send me some stories about like ghosts and vampires so that I don't have to talk the picture of this spider I'm looking at is so upsetting.

So that I don't have to look at pictures of spiders or think about spiders. Okay, here's a little bit from this news story.

At the moment spiders mostly eat the things we know they eat, you know, insects, but there's some big ones snack on lizards birds.

So I'm even eating small mammals. I'm so upset. Well, according to report published on the Washington posts experts say if you add up, this is the most upsetting thing of all time.

The weight of all the food eaten by the world's entire spider population in a single year.

It's less than the combined weight of every human on the planet. I'm like itching my arms and back and stomach as I tell you this news.
