Okay faithful listeners!! DON’T PANIC but this is the last episode before our summer break! We hope you too are preserving your sanity in whatever way you can. But don’t worry! We will still be doing podcast stuff like guesting on other pods, recording with a few fabulous guests for Text Me Back, releasing our free newsletter NEWSLETTER ME BACK, and god forbid taking a few big long naps. And we’ll also give you a few fun things in the feed to make sure you don’t ghost our asses for good. 

Our first segment we’re calling RrrATS! And it’s all about Lindy’s dream haircut–you’ll never guess what the main feature of her new ‘do is. Want to see it visually? Check out our Instagram at @textmebackpod and don’t forget that we now have full length vids on the Youtube! Thanks to our amazing Patrons who made that possible!

Next, we have a segment you all know and love called CRAZY LADY LIVIN’ IN A BAG. Lindy breaks down why she doesn’t like it when people ask her how Meagan is doing. How is she DOING? REALLY BAD!!!!!!! How is the book coming along? It’s FINE. We’re technically alive?? If you listen to the podcast, you’re as caught up as we are!

We then calm down and turn to a Whatcha Watchin’! The answer won’t surprise you: not one but TWO Titan Submersible docs. Scroll down and follow our links to our previous Titan Submersible convos 👇

Plus a SECRET MICRO SEGMENT at the end from MEAGAN??? Jump scare! 

We love you, please keep the pod warm for us!!!!

First up, Amy Klobuchar…did our BBW invite get lost in the mail? Did we bump our heads and forget that we were honored attendees?? Ames??????

But headlining this episode is a BRAND NEW *I CAN FIX HER* JINGLE!! Thank you listener Krista!!! We simply had to share it and therefore are reporting on that which is fixing us. Namely wax strips and a certain piece of non-religious literature sent by an anonymous Tom ;)

Next, our values are up for grabs–is the short stubby screw worm a snake? Call in with your thoughts (703) 829-0003 or vote in the Spotify poll! 

Plus, a conspiracy/mystery we want your thoughts on. “New Drivers” are grifting our asses??? We don’t believe you! You can’t ALL be new here, we won’t stand for it! You’re gonna start getting cut off from those stickers AND cut off in traffic, sweeties. Prepare yourselves 😤

Let us know if you’ve noticed this sneaky phenomenon at [email protected]!

Lastly, HAVE WE TALKED ABOUT POPEYE? Calling all superfans because these two brainestrones have forgotten! Call, text, or DM us on IG at @textmebackpod!

This week, we’re happy to report that Hat Girl Summer continues with some incredible reporting from the Grace Jones concert that Meagan attended. HAT. She made friends with all the sapphics and twinks so sometimes life is still good??? BTW happy pride, listeners! If you’re reading this you’re officially a little GAY (complimentary!!!!!!!!!!!)

And from there, we get into some classic Pre-Taped Call-In show news where we break down news that is still definitely relevant and the most important thing going on right now!!! What could happen between two Thursdays in 2025? Sidenote: to bridge that eternal gap we launched a FREE newsletter: NEWSLETTER ME BACK. 

But for real, remember when we were reading bitchy social posts flying between the literal USA president and the actual richest person on the earth? Wasn’t that a sweet and tender time? Sorry it’s been roughly 1000000 years since this happened but we simply MUST talk about Elon, Trump, Epstein accusations, and sooo much more. Guysss don’t fight in front of Kayne and JD!! BTW did you know that the Chancellor of Germany kicked this thing off?? Ooooo Friedrich Merz, you messy-ass Regina George! Meow! And what do you think–is Lindy allowed to add one (1) Tr*mp phrase “verrrrry rich” to the media board? Vote on Spotify, or let us know on the Discord over at patreon.com/textmebackpod.

This week, Lindy wears a hat!!!!

It’s Hat Girl Summer, and Lindy is patient zero. We know that could be the whole episode, BUT we have business to discuss. We have landed on a name for our $12 Patreon tier. Hint: It’s NOT Big Beautiful Listeners, but you miiiight just see BBL designated to something else in the near future. We love love loved hearing from you all on the Patreon. Never stop pitching us names and your weird little ideas over at patreon.com/textmebackpod!

Next on the docket, we have a Whatcha Watchin’ where Meagan shares her thoughts on Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. Spoiler: it f*ckin’ ROCKS. Tell us your Tom Cruise trivia and MI thoughts via the BFF Party Phone at (703) 829-0003. 

Strangely, Lindy categorizes yet another worm under the Normal News category instead of Snake of the Week??? What is she trying to say???? Notes app apology in progress?

And finally, it’s Segment Pubes, where Lindy and Meagan process the eldritch horror that is Elon Musk stepping down from his unelected ketamine-drenched government puppet master role. It’s just another week with your BBLs and BBWs. Sign up for the newsletter, subscribe to the Patreon, tell us how you’re processing everything in the world, and always remember: hat.

Important Mormon intel. A correction re: our innate sense of rhythm. The FaT ShoT DruG (that isn’t working). A new installment of Liam Neeson, Help! Lindy has been TAKEN by a Toxic Man: Debit Card Edition. Plus, our buried headline: Meagan’s Wikifeet. Apparently, Meagan has a robust and active page all to herself, leading Meagan to book the first flight available to space with Gayle and the gang to escape this reality. In space, no one can see your feet. 

And fan favorite segment I Can Fix Her is back! Here are our picks of the week!

• Carnation instant Breakfast
• Milk Frother
• International Delight spray cold foam

Special shoutout to listener Hannah! Thank you for sharing your insights into the Mormon Sealing Ceremony! If we could, we’d seal to you right now (non-evil category). Unfortunately, we might want to shoot our shot with that rich Mormon lady and apparently we can only seal to one person 😤 Participation trophy to you tho!

We would like to humbly announce that we are ✨ready ✨ to accept that Golden Globe for Podcasting despite them not being particularly interested!!! We won’t let that stop us 💫

This week, we are reaching deep into the mail bag. Strangely, all animal-themed (ani-mail bag??). You know us so well! You know who we wish knew us a little less? A problematic little organization that is a homonym of our favorite flatbread. So sorry, Wes, we love those animals but we are not on board with the vibes. Stick to Chimp Crazy babe!

But to cleanse our meaty palates, we get a truly lovely update from listener Elise on her bird friends, a grey catbird (aka Anthony Cosby-Knowles) and a cardinal (dba Guy Fieri) and we have such exciting news…there is a verrry special newcomer, an opossum who is yet to be named! What do you think about the names we suggested? Got any ideas of your own? Toggle over to our Spotify poll or write in with your own on the discord over at patreon.com/textmebackpod.

And our last piece of mail was sent to Meagan’s personal email? No thank you! If you’re pitching us to be a podcast guest to talk about your tarantula antics and criminal charges please use the podcast gmail at [email protected] thank youuuuu! 🕷️

Ayyy no Nazi Pope! We’ll never put ketchup on a hot dog again!

We’re on a new beat today called RELIGION 🙏👼

With America’s personality rankings in the toilet, a non-Nazi Pope was anything but guaranteed, but then we find out that our Chicago Pope has been beefing with JD Vance since the inauguration?? Okay, praise Him!! 

And next these BBWs have an important business reminder: we have a brand new Patreon tier coming soon! And did we mention that you get AD FREE episodes as well as secret audio-only eps at our $12 level?? We’re still looking for a name for this tier. DM us on IG @textmebackpod, pipe up in the Patreon discord, or comment wherever, we’ll see it, what the hell else are we doing.

And guess what…we’re also Tiding today! Lindy heads to Santa Fe for a Planned Parenthood Gala and is emotionally accosted by a weird white man. But twist: she stands up for herself by NOT wishing him a good day back 😤. Would YOU call this driver’s manager??? Let us know by giving us a call or text on the BFF Party Phone (703) 829-0003.

And on Meagan’s side of Tidings, we have sad news…no habemus Vespa. She’s scootin’ her way to the heavens to hang out with Pope Francis. Rest in Peace, babe. Mormons or Formans (former Mormans obvi) please pull up and tell us about the afterlife, we need it rn [email protected]

This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind!!!

This week, Lindy is dying :/ Bye girl!!!

But the show must go on! So this week we are releasing a very special episode. An abridged semi-exclusive limited release Very Special Episode previously only heard on our Patreon! That’s right. It’s 2 Shrill 2 Furious: Portland Drift—our rewatch series of Shrill. Specifically, we’re talking about the Pool Party episode written by the incredible Samantha Irby. And you’re gonna lose it, but we are joined by NONE OTHER than Sam Irby HERSELF.

We’re talking about fangirling over Mary Cherry aka Leslie Grossman, jokes that were tragically cut, witches that didn’t make the final ep, lines that were all improv, and everything else we could remember about this (don’t mind if we say) honestly iconic episode.

And because we are sneaky little snakes we cut half the content and are reposting the FULL thing on our Patreon as a bid for your wallets! Join us for as little as $1/mo, or as extravagantly as $12/mo. We promise it’s worth it. Hop over there to about Advil lady, crepe truck, Brazilian cheese balls, floormates: Manifest, big boy chair, and earnest thoughts <3 patreon.com/textmebackpod

And in case you didn’t catch that little $12/mo mention…that’s right: new Patreon tier is dropping soon! What should we call the Richie Riche$ who sign up for our $12 tier??? Let us know on the Discord, over email [email protected] or on the BFF Party Phone (703) 829-0003.
