BBW Updates! Corny Tyme! A nostalgic game! Lindy’s delirious brush with VH1 fame! This episode has it all!
In this segment-stacked episode, Lindy and Meagan share BBW updates you won’t wanna miss (peep our links below). Listen, we wish we had all the land, energy, and fertilizer in the world to start a commune in the woods with many many donkeys! We wish we could find an abandoned boxcar and ride the rails into the sunset forever and ever! But realistically, the resistance looks more like staying engaged, doing art, building community, and other forms of activism. We wanna know how are you staying engaged politically? Tell us how you’re getting through it at [email protected].
Lindy and Meagan also dive into nostalgia with their new game, I Like the ’90s! It’s different enough, or parody! Don’t come at us Video Hits 1! Also send us that unaired Lindy footage 😤 Are you team pizza bagel or team English muffin pizzas? For bonus Text Me Back Accolades (Text Me Backolades?) we challenge you to figure out our opaque demands and tell us your hyper specific 90s thingy! You can text or call us at the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003 or DM us @textmebackpod on IG and Tiktok.

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

Oh how sweet and innocent we were when we recorded this ep one whole week before Election Day! Oh to be doubled up on Zoloft on this day!
When we recorded this episode, we envisioned a world where it might be possible to ever feel comfortable and cozy again. That’s why we brought you our annual Cozy Recs, complete with eggnog (or milk-based alternatives), oversized hoodies, and the famous cozy game you know and love: SMDDRFFAD! Does that help?? Is coziness possible? In any event, we hope you enjoy the only show on air brave enough to encourage you to replace all your blood with the sand of a weighted blanket. We’re going to need a lot of sand.
On a serious note, we’re a little scared. We hope this podcast can continue to be a light for you as our world darkens. We’ll keep fighting alongside you for a better world, for us and for our communities, because we have to. We love you.

Happy Halloween! This week, Lindy and Meagan accidentally pull off a spook-filled episode. An eerie hamlet full of demigods! Warty pumpkins! Creepy crusties and the horrors and potions of age! Keanu Reeves-vampire-time-traveler-boyfriend! Oh, I dunno and THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?? 😱 What could be scarier?
Coming off the breathtaking success of our live show at the Seattle Py00blic Library, we’re back with tidings, P.U.B.E.S., and MAGA numerology (PLEASE hug your teenage sons!!).
And we round out the episode with a new segment we’re calling “Corny Tyme”! Guess what dark forces of authoritarianism: We’re voting! We want you to choose your vehicle for change. We want you to stay connected and make a difference. We care. 👉👈 And we earnestly love recording this podcast! Thank you for listening, for sending in tattoo designs, for tickling our funny bones in the Discord, and for supporting our show!

This week, we’re LIVE from the Seattle Public Library! We have THREE special guests who we put to the test with a series of silly little games as well as high stakes political questions.
But first, tidings! And headlining this round of tidings is sharing the winner of our tattoo contest!!! Special shoutout to those of you who submitted this winning idea -- there were five of you! -- we’ll reach out soon to make sure you get your prize. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @textmebackpod to check out this perfect design and thank you to everyone who shared their cute, hot, and beautiful tattoo ideas, we <3333 u. (And if you want to get your very own amazing tattoo, check out our artist Laurenn Stipes at BLVEDOVE Tattoo on Instagram!)
Next, we play a game of FMKDSHFWM with special guest Mariesa Bus! Find out which book this library professional would marry, which book she would like to do karaoke with, and which book she would thoughtfully eject from the library based on its merits. Feel free to play along and tell us which book you would lust after or tastefully burn! Our discord was made for this – join us over at patreon.com/TextMeBackPod to tell us your thoughts.
And then we have a NEWS QUIZ segment! We bring on Seattle Times columnist Naomi Ishisaka and comic Brett Hamil (who honestly grounds this episode–that’s how real things are getting this political climate). These two go toe-to-toe with Lindy and Meagan as they all aim to buzz in correct answers on local and national political newsy-type questions, AND/OR tickle the whimsy of the audience for the prize of a half-eaten bag of candy from Candy Tyme in Westlake Center 💫
All this AND MORE. Tune in, tell us you love us, and let us know where we should do a live show next!
Special thanks to Paris Jackson from Cascade PBS for moderating this event, and thank you to the Seattle Public Library for hosting! A worthy reminder about how cool those places are. Libraries do all sorts of cool things, so go support your own local library! And solidarity to the Cascade PBS Union organizers! We hope you get a fair contract soon.

This week, Lindy and Meagan come bearing two important pieces of news. First up, is a long-awaited update on Kevin’s nads. And equally important to report: Lindy and Meagan make an iron-clad commitment. A promise to NOT laugh at the biffs, blunders, and incomprehensible nonsense spewing from Donald Trump. We’re calling it the No-Giggle Pledge, and the terms include donating to the Harris-Walz campaign each time they fail to hold to this democracy-enforcing covenant. Kamala, get prepared to add some zeros to your bank account, sweetie!
Next on the docket are two compelling conspiracies. Lindy presents a theory that American Apparel’s chokehold on our country in the mid-aughts was merely a Nelson Mandela effect. Where did all those tube tops and ass shorts go?! And meanwhile, Meagan reaches the internet ice wall and is convinced that the bizarre ads she is delivered are nothing more than inscrutable brain bait that must be clicked.
And finally, our favorite segment, Whatcha Watchin’! Lindy and Meagan share their thoughts on two highbrow intellectual progrums: BritBox’s McDonald & Dodds and HBO’s Chimp Crazy. But who is watching what? The answer may surprise you. Tune in to find out! And tell us whatchoo watchin’ on the telly in the Discord!
Don’t forget–Lindy and Meagan are inviting our dear listeners to send in their cozy unsolved mysteries! They are fully prepared to dust off their magnifying glasses and deerhunter caps and get to work, so send them in to [email protected]!
Are you gonna watch Chimp Crazy?? Text us your every thought via the Best Friend Party Phone (703) 829-0003.
Do you like us? Then LIKE us, why dontcha! Give us a like + little share on socials @textmebackpod, and give us an accolade and five stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

This week Lindy and Meagan are 42% less rude than last week! We decompress after last week’s call outs and the Titan Submersible implosion recap (where the mean % points really racked up) and get back to our earnest, nerdy roots. Lindy spends American dollars on a personalized Hydro Flask. Kevin graduates from puppy school, so naturally we assign Breakfast Club archetypes to the rest of the pupporinos (Kevin is either the Janitor or Judd Nelson, who could really say).
But the crowning jewel of the episode comes with breaking ground on territory few podcasters dare to explore: a discussion about what TV programs we’re watching with our one and only precious lifetime on this planet. For Lindy and Meagan, it’s the beautiful disaster that is Ink Master. From questionable tattoo challenges to even more questionable judging, they break down their top moments from the show (including “Leatherface Grandma” and Taco Bell spon con).
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INK MASTER? We must know. Text us or leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003.
We need a new mystery! Send us one, won’t you? [email protected]!

If Lindy and Meagan had a podcast back in June 2023, this episode would have been soooo timely. But they didn’t. So they’re covering the most important story of that year here and now and that is…the implosion of the Titan submersible.
BUT BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THAT, we’re back on our endless, increasingly appalling, and all-encompassing RFK, Jr. beat, which brings us swiftly to Segment P.U.B.E.S. Somehow, this RFK, Jr. has led us on a collision course with a cohort of assholes who bullied Lindy in 2017 for being a nice dork. Guess what, dingalings? It’s 2024 and we’re ready to take you down a peg! Being good and nice is COOL and being bad and mean is NOT cool. Grow up! Be nice to fat people and stop being a hateful Nazi fangirl (this is directed to heinous public figures, not to our angel listeners who are reading this of course)!
And one important BBW update: We will no longer be posting vids to that video website because it’s too much work for too few viewers. (But if we get more resources and demand we are open to bringing it back later on!) We’re sorry!
Want us to maintain our presence on other platforms? Here are four ways to keep us alive and unimploded in the tiny submersible we call life:
If you like our stuff, share a post or a clippy clip of ours around why dontcha? It’s like telling a friend, but telling all of your friends at ONCE.

This week, Meagan returns from her near-death appendix betrayal! And she comes bearing many a tale from those hallowed hospital wings. Tales of: a murderous vestigial organ on the loose, sexy doctors cutting free what no longer serves, a spooky Jack Nicholson moment, and (dot dot dot) a murder mystery???
And while Lindy awaits to hear the fate of an extremely ill Meagan, she sustains an injury from playing a video game too hard. If you’ve played Cult of the Lamb, you can probably relate.
So they’re just two brave businesswomen healing from equally traumatic illnesses. If you’re also a brave businesswoman who is #healing, let us know what you’re doing to entertain yourself! DM us on Instagram at @textmebackpod!
If you are Dante Basco, email us at [email protected] and come be a guest on our pod! Thank you to Textmebackolyte Jacqueline (and HUSBAND) for this incredible Ottawa Comic Con reporting 🫶
And Meagan hasn’t seen her hospital bill yet, so now is a great time to join our Patreon!!! https://www.patreon.com/TextMeBackPod

In this week’s episode, Meagan’s appendix decides to take this “I Can Fix Her” segment to a whole new level and makes an unexpected break for it. And as a result, 50% of our hosts are in the hospital and our episode is a little shorter than usual! When the appendix decides to say *bye girl 💅* we have to respect it, but luckily we had a pre-recorded segment brought to you by Magic Mind, an elixir that helps make brain from brainestrone. We also talk about a couple other products on our radar and we do need your thoughts.

Sound the alarms, notify the press, we’re in our CHOCOLATE MILK ERA.
Think chocolate milk couldn’t possibly fill 20+ minutes of an episode? THINK AGAIN, BROTHER. We have thoughts to share, we have a problematic google brewing (so sorry), we have service journalism to share, and most importantly, we have an attempt to draw a throughline between orange beef and chocolate milk (you simply must tell us if you can co-sign this comparison).
But that’s not all--it’s a week of Whatcha Watchin’, current obsessions (ie big natural jugs o’ chocolate milk), and a listener mail bag moment. If you have been texting us or leaving voicemails on the Best Friend Party Phone, believe us when we say that we cherish every anecdote, snake story, and cover letter. So this week we are delivering two iconic stories, one of which features a maxi pad fluttering American-Beauty-style in the night. Your messages are the IV drips into our period-depleted arms so please never stop sending things to (703) 829-0003.
Poll time! DM @textmebackpod on IG to tell us which is the worst:
-Sick Puppy
-Fart Mommy
-Dirty Mama
If you must, email us at [email protected] to send us your cogent, sober explanation correlating orange beef x chocolate milk :[

Hello, my babies, hello my darlins! This episode has UPDATES. This episode has IMPROV (husbands edition). This episode has mention of POLITICAL ACTIVISM IMBUED WITH HOPE??
In our first segment, we share an epic cover letter from a listener who might just be the ultimate D&D companion, even if the gang hasn’t quite figured out how or when they’ll play. Thank you for your endless support as we become DMs, which we assume means Dirty Mamas ;) but in the meantime we want you all to join our Discord and play amongst yourselves–and share your characters with us at [email protected]!
And in our second segment, we send off RFK Jr.’s unforgettable campaign. Brain worms, cruises, and bears. Oh…oh my. If you are Cheryl Hines, we are desperate to hear from you, babe, let us know you’re okay at (703) 829-0003.

Listen, we know you’ve been mulling over if you should invest in these two Better Business Women (BBWs) by supporting our Patreon. You are a savvy investor. You want to know where your dollars are going. Well, Sharks, we hear you, and that’s why this week we’re giving you a little sneak peek at Lindy and Meagan’s Patreon exclusive series 2 Shrill 2 Furious: Portland Drift!
Lindy and Meagan dive deep into the chaotic, hilarious, and often absurd process of turning Lindy’s book, Shrill, into a hit TV show. From fast-tracking to series and rubbing elbows with Elizabeth “Liz” Banks to nearly losing Aidy Bryant over a lead character that was a bit too "disgusting," Lindy spills all the behind-the-scenes tea. Learn how Hollywood really works—or doesn’t—and why it’s just as glam, stressful, and utterly bizarre as you’ve always imagined.
If you haven’t already, check out Lindy’s book, Shrill!
Join us on our (re)watch journey! Watch Shrill on Hulu and be sure to be texting us your every thought on the Best Friend Party Phone (703) 829-0003.
And if you want more bts Shrill content and love hearing about the wild journey of selling and creating a real-life TV show in Hollywood, USA, then you know what you gotta do. Hit us up over at Patreon.com/textmebackpod.

This week is a grab bag special, which is a euphemism for “we forgot to plan anything for this episode,” and our hands are pulling out a special little treat from the archives. That’s right, it’s a stumble down memory lane where Lindy and Meagan talk about one of their early jobs working at Paul Allen’s musical history storage facility, Seattle’s Experience Music Project (now MoPOP).
From the multi-sensory (🥴) Funk Blast ride to the soul-crushing reality of handing out malfunctioning MEGs to tourists, they leave no stone unturned. Surprise mentions include Rufio, Madonna (aka Cyndi Lauper), Ren-Faire Guy, a James Brown Face/Off moment, and the origin story of our famed Dr. Freekvonk music!
Anyway, work sucks! If you are a teen or early-twenties worker, do the bare minimum and skip your last day! You can still be a lawyer and a writer, nothing real bad will happen, probably.
Tell us ALL ABOUT your early employment stories at (703) 829-0003.
Share your Stardew Valley updates with us by DMing us on IG @textmebackpod!
Are you a former EMP/MoPOP employee OR James Brown’s body double and do you have access to those wretched Sky Church videos? PLEASE email us at [email protected]!
If you want to see Meagan’s zonkered glasses, Lindy’s BUTT journal, and our James Brown bunny hop, find us on that famed video website.

This week Lindy kicks us off with an unforgettable Dave Matthews tribute, but don’t let that stop you from staying tuned, it doesn’t last that long!
We have SO many segments today (3).
First, we kick off with segment P.U.B.E.S, which is quickly becoming dedicated to our own biffs, blunders, and bad ethics, and this week we actually do include a hit of that sweet sweet Socrates music after Alli PERSONALLY raked the internet to find what she hopes is a worthy nostalgic little riff (sorry for leaving you hanging, sweet bbs! 🤖)
Next, we round the corner to deliver a Snake News segment we rustled up specifically because listener Caitlin & Husband FINALLY submitted a Snake of the Week jingle! You simply cannot miss it because we are going to be leaning on that audio cue heavily moving forward.
And lastly but most importantly, the industry has spoken and they have determined Lindy’s podcast guesting rate to be a firm $3000-$10,000 per appearance. If you are Colin Cowherd, confirm Lindy’s upcoming appearance via the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003. Also, Meagan was pretty confident she knew what Colin Cowherd’s whole deal was but now is NOT sure he’s a weird woke mind virus guy. Sorry?

You know them from being blacklisted from the Bulgarian podcast charts. You know them from leading the boards in Estonia. And third most likely, you know them from their podcast Too Beautiful to Live! This week Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays sit down with Luke Burbank and Andrew Walsh for round two of their crossover series, and Lindy did NOT have to frantically Google their names and bios during the recording this time.
Our tidings are full of bad pans and youth-infested homes. Lindy’s deep dive into her daughter’s weekend stay at their cabin leads to a detective-worthy investigation, while Meagan’s love for the Olympics turns her into a proud violently patriotic American 🔪🦅🇺🇲. The crew talks about strong feelings about Celine Dion, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Theo Von. They try to play a game. BUT THEN, some breaking news: Lindy lives in the light with a brave admission that it was she that left behind a surprise for her elegant guest to find, which quite frankly will probably be the only thing you remember about this episode.
Love Logan and Arnold as much as we do? Listen to more of Too Beautiful to Live on Apple Podcasts

It’s official, these two BBWs are breaking news left and right. Lindy and Meagan predict a Kamala presidential campaign (2024), break bad news about Harambe (2016), and give you the scoop about a hot new TV show called Freaks and Geeks (1999).
Plus, this week we asked YOU if you agreed with the inspiration for our hyped up Larry Flynt bit and the results are in! Tune in to hear the conclusive but certainly not final chapter of this saga. We think you’re going to Ohh-Vehr-døZzz.
But Lindy and Meagan’s watchdog journalism is never over. Lindy saves a toad (probably). Meagan has interactions with not one but TWO veep candidates, and if you think JD Vance contacted her on a normal platform, you’d be wrong!
And last but not least, these two newspapermen discuss gaming! Are you an aspiring D&D dork? Do you love iPhone games? What should Lindy and Meagan try playing? Email us at [email protected] to tell us what games you’re into and maybe they’ll play along!

Move over Don Draper, because these two BBWs are coming through to serve up some of the best commercial moments you’ve ever heard. NOTHING helps ease the discomfort of humanity’s agonizing downward spiral like a catchy little jingle! We learn about Lindy’s legacy status in the advertising world and share some of the most iconic line reads from our favorite commercials (Robert Loggia???).

This week, Lindy and Meagan kick things off with a bang as they officially claim the title of BBWs (Better Business Women)! They’ve been eating nothing but thick cheesy soups like Forbes or something recommended and they’re ready to share their big juicy half-researched headlines as they hustle their way to the tippy top of the podcasting world. Forbes: 50 BBWs Under 50 here we come!
But first! It’s time for Segment P.U.B.E.S., aka corrections, updates, and apologies. Lindy fesses up to some major Pete the Dragon libel, but there are plenty of P.U.B.E.S. to go around so don’t hesitate to share your very own P.U.B.E.S. with us on the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003.
Next up! Lindy and Meagan take notes from a couple other BBWs and their impressive PR teams. Our enigmatic Charlotte the Stingray has an unexpected ending but her mysterious pregnancy legacy lives on in the form of a Brazilian boa who lived for 9 years as a single man named Ronaldo and who recently gave birth to 14 snakes. That’s right–snake moms can be BBWs too. The show desperately needs a Snake of the Week jingle, so kindly send your genius little compositions over to our email [email protected].
And finally, Lindy and Meagan dive into a topic many of our parasocial BFFS out there have been asking for: more friendship lore from the Lindy-Meagan archives. As a devoted listener, you are invited to use our weirdly specific movie quotes to confuse and alienate your very own friends and family!
Happy slurpee day! If you’re 7/11 and want to sponsor two BBWs, DM us on IG and Tiktok @textmebackpod
From NPR: Charlotte the stingray, the would-be mom, has died at her N.C. aquarium
From a random potentially unverified source: 'Ronaldo had been looking slightly fatter than usual': Snake thought to be male has 14 babies in rare 'virgin birth'
