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]!

WE ARE STILL ON BREAK FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS but we hope you enjoyed this little treat. We’re pretty sure nothing major could be happening in the news, so we hope this was respite from your easeful stress-free boredom.

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!

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?

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! 

Speaking of participation, we know we ask for your Patreon dollars often–it’s what helps the show keep going, and what has helped bring back full length video episodes and will continue to help the show grow.
