What’s up, Gaylords?? (← texas reference)

This week, Lindy and Meagan hit the dusty trails again with their tiny influencer mics. That’s right. These two BBWs take BBW flights to Dallas, Texas for Podcast Movement, the only movement. And where else would they rest their gorgeous heads but at THE Gaylord Texan? The place where the DALLAS COWBOY CHEERLEADERS live??

So we’re networking, we’re being networked at, we’re eating chicken, we’re eating pickles. A-plot? No spoilers, but it involves a zip line. Plus, Lindy’s SECRET b-plot/MYSTERY!!! 🩸Let us know your every thought (703) 829-0003.

btw IF YOU LOST YOUR LITTLE RACCOON TAIL it’s at Ride App Share 45 in the DFW Airport - please let us know if you picked it up [email protected]

Anyway, enjoy this humble grass-rootsy reporting from Grapevine, Texas, the Christmas Capital of the World. Love you, besties!!!

You won’t believe who we have on the podcast today. She’s a Phillies fan and a Gritty stan  🔔 she’s anti-youth culture 🫶and she washed these guys 💇‍♀️that’s right it’s… KELSEY MCKINNEY.

Kelsey McKinney—beloved Normal Gossip queen, Defector co-founder, and Philly’s own sports mascot oracle—joins the pod for a completely deranged round of FMKHFDCGT with Philadelphia sports mascots. From the chaotic genius of Gritty to a suspiciously off-brand cat from Villanova, Kelsey herself ranks, judges, and makes forward-thinking marital commitments to our most beloved and accursed icons.

We’re back, sweeties! Can you believe? Lindy is dying to know: how ARE you??

This week we are joined by new best friends Liz Feldman and Jessi Klein! We’re here to titillate, entertain, and alienate these two (of the famed Here to Make Friends podcast). You know Dead to Me. You know Big Mouth. You’re gonna be obsessed with these two, but WE GOT HERE FIRST SO BACK OFF.

But first, it has been a minute and so we must TIDE!!! Lindy comes with vole tidings with major updates/plot twists. And we sneak in a mini Whatcha Watchin’ under the tidings banner too! Are you obsessed with Task Master? Tell us your every thought, bruvs! (703) 829-0003!

Feel free to join our discord (via the Patreon) to talk to us about glomming, maintaining friendship, and how you make real friends! Is it poop transplant? We’re thinking it must be poop transplant. 

Speaking of! We earnestly would like to know: if you got a poop transplant from your bestie, what trait/skill/personality disorder would YOU hope to get from them? We think that would be nice to know. Email us at [email protected].

You guysssssss, guess whaaaaat?? We’re basically back! We are thrilled to share the long lost Popeye segment recorded in a special tin can! Forget everything you THOUGHT you knew about Popeye the Sailor Man! Lindy is bringing justice to a long-forgotten character who is ACTUALLY the reason that little freak is so strong.

We also share a mysterious file titled SPIDERS that Lindy and Meagan too are hearing for the first time! Spider-fearing vegans sound off in the comments but be nice because remember we do not like PETA but we DO like you so long as you’re nice to us!!!!

But before we get into that…a mini bonus tiding we’re calling VOLE PATROL. What shall we name this slow little guy???

Another perfectly timely conversation with pop cultural commentary that remains at the top of everyone's minds!!!!

This week we resurface a Patreon Exclusive and bring it to the masses. Comedian Guy Branum, BEST friend of the show, sat down with Text Me Back co-host Lindy West for a TMB Patreon Exclusive conversation about the Netflix hit series BABY REINDEER. These geniuses explore VITAL questions such as: Is it good for the fats? Is it good for the gays? What is the duty of art? Is it always bad to do drugs and have sex at a gay club or is it sometimes very fun? Would Lindy be more successful if she had her brain but the abs of Jillian Michaels? Or Jillian Michaels's brain but the abs of an actual reindeer? ALL THIS AND MORE IN THIS EXCLUSIVE FIRESIDE FAT/CHAT! 

WE ARE STILL ON BREAK FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS but we hope you enjoyed this little treat. Another quiet week in the news, we’re sure! CEO who?

We’re awake, we’re awake! 

That’s right, Lindy and Meagan are WIDE AWAKE and here to share a super special previously-only-found-on-Patreon episode from our After Dark series! And this week (aka many months ago) we’re talking about Britbox, baby.

BUT FIRST, we have to talk about Whatch We’re Readin’! Thank you to our lovely Discord/Patreon participants for sending us the “where to start with Terry Prachett” starter kit. We want to know what you’re reading! Join the chat already patreon.com/TextMeBackPod.

And that brings us across the pond to brih-ish telly, Meagan bravely admits to watching 14 seasons of Death in Paradise, and Lindy tries to explain how a show called Bargain Hunt is actually queer canon. PLEASE call in with your thoughts and recommendations for more British slop, bruvs!  Text OR CALL us at the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.

And last but(t) not least…toilet plume theory. We need more evidence, and we regret to invite you to email us your thoughts at [email protected]!

Listen, we gatekept just a little 🤏.

We’ve been dimming the full light of this famous episode on the main so that our Patrons could revel in a megawatt jolt of superiority. But it’s time to release the full ep for the masses. And it has nothing to do with the fact that we are on break and don’t have a new episode for you this week, no matter what our Patrons tell you! 

This week’s fan-favorite episode just got a little fan-favorite-ier. Take a walk back in time with us, won’t you?

To set the scene: It’s March 2025. Lindy and Meagan are riding the high of a successful On Air Fest. And in their bag, what is this? Why it’s…a tiny influencer microphone!!

This super special ~extended~ ep includes not only Lindy's infamous train journey, but field recordings featuring our friend Tyler The Wizard from our Lord of the Rings episode! We can’t believe we tucked him away from you for so long, but no more! If you wished you heard this episode sooner, consider joining our Patreon! Hop over to patreon.com/textmebackpod and never miss a single iota of our content ever.

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!
