Who’s ready to laugh? 🫠

Last week a Bad Thing happened. But never fear! This week of healing started off strong with Lindy and Meagan heading to Portland for another sensational live show at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts! And you simply cannot pull off a live comedy show without visiting the Pacific Northwest’s own Red Robin! YUM! Where are our Bonsai Burger heads at?  

And it just keeps getting better! Lindy and Meagan are joined onstage by Emmy-award winning comedian and writer Guy Branum and Oregon Speaker of the House Julie Fahey! We play not one but TWO FMK-style games because our brains don’t work well enough to think of anything else! First, we punish those who we think are responsible for Tr*mp’s victory -- who is cursed with seeing Lyndon B. Johnson’s phantom hog every morning? Who gets listeria from unregulated Lean Cuisine? Then, we ask Speaker Fahey which state and local policies she would Eff, Marry, or Veto. Watch your back, sales tax! 

All in all, this episode is equal parts dissociated nonsense and political encouragement. How are you all hanging in there? We earnestly want to know what’s making you feel okay! DM us on IG @textmebackpod
