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.

Hello faithful Text Me Backolytes and welcome new listeners (we’re sorry in advance to newbies! You could not have chosen a more wild starting place, but you’ll catch on fast!). Today Lindy and Meagan kick off with a humble but necessary installment of Department of Corrections: Peter Edition. Apparently one of these colonizing yahoos from last week did, in fact, step foot in Washington State–but don’t worry, we’ve decided to make that one a bonus Q so you can still graduate 8th grade. But the question remains: WHICH Peter from last week is the lucky boy to bless this mess? Tune in to find out.

Then it’s straight into Dog Thoughts, where we learn that Barry is a secret alpha?? You been listening to Joe Rogan, Bar???? Apparently, our gentle copper king does toxic male behavior at a public gathering and no amount of bully sticks–with or without Lindy’s signature flavoring–can calm him down. Meanwhile, back at the Pennsylvanian Dutch Farm that is Meagan’s condo, Kevin screams at ghosts in the living room. The vibes are unwell.

And finally, the most Normalest News: Dire wolves have a moment in the sun before the reality of the situation is understood (GMO wolves are a little less cool to market than Dire Wolves so we don’t NOT get it, but girl we need healthcare so can we focus, or????). And to round out our Normal News segment, Meagan brings us intel that people are body-shaming a mascot. SO NORMAL. Ellie the Elephant, we love you and you owe us NOTHING besides several headstands, fierce braid swings, and a liberal twerking of that ass on that court.

And our 95%ers are in for a treat at the end where Lindy offers an unsolicited rotation of impersonations!!!!! You literally do not have to stick around and we’re flummoxed every time you do!

If you thought Lindy’s train adventure was an unhinged delight YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. This week it’s Meagan who hits the dusty trail on a trek from Washington, (District of Columbia) to Washington (State). Meagan bravely Dale Coopers her whole ass off with that tiny influencer mic. Along the way she endures a mid-flight beef with her evil auntie doppelganger, being bullied by her brother, and a fight for her life over a Caesar salad.

And not to brag but some pretty good stuff happens along the way too. Meagan learns what the youth are into (Fortnite). We get to hear from iconic BFFs Ingrid and Ella and learn the true meaning of lifelong friendship (matching outfits). And Lindy and Meagan solve a decades-old mystery of The Killer on the Burke Gilman trail (hello, young man 🔪)

Lindy is running on the fumes of borrowed youth, and Meagan is one (1) glass of wine deep. This is the opposite of a Magic Mind episode where we’re cool collected cucumbers and we’re calling it Tipsy Back Podcast!

Lindy brings tidings from the So True Hype House, where Lindy desperately tries to impress her young comedy crushes, starts a group chat she may or may not be kicked out of, and endures a self-imposed spiral of rarely-seen proportions. 

Next…we asked and you delivered, friends! Ghost grandpas, sweaty side-hugging men offering some armchair psychiatry, and the CREEPIEST sandbar cult man we’ve ever heard of 😱Thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us! Never stop texting and calling us (703) 829-0003

And be sure to stay to the end for a bonus anecdote from Meagan!!!! The average listener completes 96%+ of an episode?? You’re OBSESSED with us????? If you love us so much why don’t you marry us!!! patreon.com/textmebackpod

“Comfort listening at its finest. Despite having my own friends (wow, humblebrag) I adore getting swept into the sweet, cupped hands of Meagan and Lindy's cinematic universe.

They let you in- and it feels tender and special, and funny and important. What good timing to have found such a podcast! 'Cause you know, life is grim under such a soggy-nugget-dictator, and while no single piece of creativity is the sole antidote for such bleakness, if I stack this with other art, and humor, and books, and dogs- well, the gloom becomes more manageable. It took less than one half of an episode to cruise over to Patreon and add these two to my lil collection of makers I love to support. XO”

Welcome to another classic episode of Text Me Back, where Lindy and Meagan, two self-appointed kings, tackle the most pressing issues of our time. See agenda below:

FIRST AGENDA ITEM: Buggies. Meagan bullies a neighbor by sending another round of live bugs to a stranger’s building. And friends…there is potentially a third round of bugs en route. The only real downside is that this is accidental bullying and Meagan may have to leave the D.C. area :/

NEXT UP: We’re checking in on Lindy’s Rebuilding Year! Wikifeet Update: We Don’t Feel Safe!!! And to the person who uploaded 72 photos of Lindy’s feet…thank you? We think?? Either way the score has CHANGED. Tune in to see what Lindy’s rating is now! Are you a Wikifeet growth hacker? Tell us your top tips by texting or calling the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.

AND AFTER THE BREAK: Normal News. Bioluminescent pig butt worms and reptile smuggling. Need we say more? We’re gonna say more. Thank you to everyone sending in Normal News–never stop DMing us @textmebackpod.

Plus, a correction on last week’s Sir Topham Hatt / George Carlin conspiracy (we regret the error), a heartfelt thank you to MagicMind for keeping Lindy off coffee, and an urgent item for cougars to weigh in: Would Lindy jogging in the woods activate your predatory instincts?

This week we continue a-milkin’ that New York cow! Um, excuse us? We are walking here. Meagan and Lindy make a brave break from their cozy hotel room into the NYC winter night to watch Drag Race at a local bar/mystery tent and meet THE Thorgy Thor camping out in there! Somebody go back in time, call our elder care facility, and tell them to bring us a knit blanket! Have you ever experienced a winter chill? DM us Y/N @textmebackpod

And next, we add a sexy twist to our age-old Segment P.U.B.E.S. This week we’re calling it Segment P.U.B.E.S.: Crazy Lady Living in a Bag. Two guesses as to who the crazy ladies are. Won’t you join us in our bag? Tbh we get a little real here because it’s BAD out there, and the badness is all by design. (Check out Meagan’s latest installment of SWAMP PERSON for more thoughts on “What are you allowed to be mad about?”)

And ultimately we’re gonna have to make room for more crazy ladies in our bag. We’ll shove aside the orange peels, used tissues, old receipts, and empty hand sanitizer bottles to welcome in anyone who wants to fight alongside us for something better–and we’re going to do our best to give them one of our crumbled cookies to welcome them in. If we’re gonna turn the tides of fascism, it’ll be with the help of misguided voters AND at least one annoying guy with a rinky-dink sign. We wanna know what you’re mad about and what you’re doing to resist! Email us at [email protected].

Finally, a plea to the Text Me Backolytes: bring back the ghosts! Lindy and Meagan demand more supernatural content, and the listeners must deliver. Call in with your spookiest ghost encounters (or just a story about a scary man in a car, that counts too). Leave us a voicemail at (703) 829-0003.

Unearthed from their On Air Fest goodie bags, Lindy and Meagan discover little teensy influencer microphones! And if you know how jazzed one host in particular gets about the media board, you can guess what this means–absolute unhinged chaos aka a cross country FIELD TRIP! 🚂

But before Lindy shares her unfiltered reporting from her truly epic train ride from DC to Seattle, Lindy and Meagan recap their On Air Fest experiences, walking away with one important question: What in the sweet hell happened to the crafty crackers? These VIP BBWs are supposed to eat piles of deli meat with nary a carb? REGGIE WATTS TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NETWORKING NOSH!! Email us [email protected]

And no shade to On Air fest, but the best part of that weekend was Lindy and Meagan’s incredible Wordle victories. Have YOU ever gotten Wordle in 1?? What was your word??? DM us @textmebackpod on IG!

And finally, the real headliner of this episode is something never in history captured in real time: Belly Rumblins On the Midwest Express. Someone call the Pulitzer commission because this is JOURNALISM, this is STORYTELLING, Gay Talese COULD NEVER. Will Lindy expire in Indiana? Make it through Montana? Survive all the way to Seattle? Only one way to find out (listening to the episode, giving us a five-star rating, and telling all your friends about it).

No day compares to the day I get to listen to text me back. These two are my role models, my parasocial big sisters, and they just be making me laugh. Meagan and Lindy, if you're reading this... ily guys <3 everybody else... GO LISTEN BABEEEE”
