No AI slop here–just hot juicy human junkyard waste ruminating at room temp for about six days. BUT FIRST: Are you seeing insane or unhinged things in the world, politically speaking?

Donate food, diapers, and other necessities. Donate blood. Volunteer. Contact your own reps. Boycott businesses and corporations supportive of ICE. Swampy enough for ya?

This is one of those things that sits on your bedside table and you see it every morning and it brings a little smile to your face and your stress-wrinkles smooth out over time and people start asking what your secret to youth is and you suspect it’s because this magical joyful little tray but that sounds crazy so you just say something like “lucky genes I guess” but it actually IS the little tray for your little items.

‘Tis a long cold December without thine BBWS. But fear not! For we bring you the gladdest tiding of all: an episode with certified snack Ronald Young, Jr.! We uncovered this from our Pledge Drive Archives, and we know ALL of our fellow BBWs out there will be delighted anew by Big Ron’s presence. Plus, in this episode Lindy FAMOUSLY recaps the Phantom of the Opera Wikipedia, extending the Erik from the Sewers lore. If you missed our Pledge Drive lives on Youtube for some unthinkable/unknowable reason, we’re happy to bring you into the fold here. BTW because it’s mentioned throughout this ep, our BBLS for BBWS tote is totally available! A perfect holiday gift for your favorite BBWs out there??? We think so! Also how cute is this little tray??? This is one of those things you think about getting yourself, sit on it for a while, and then it eventually sells out and you’re forever thinking about it.

Rerun? What’s that? Don’t be mad at us! We’re taking a little seasonal break BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME GREAT STUFF RUNNING ON THE FEED TO KEEP YOU FED. Today, we are revisiting our iconic Pledge Drive 2025 ep featuring Emmy award winning writer Guy Branum. Guy shares his recent experience being fat on an airplane (not a crime) wherein he was assaulted (crime). Just a little reminder to – as Meagan says – pack your patience this traveling season. Download a few of our early episodes to keep you cozy on that plane, cue up Devil Wears Prada for a little break from us that you will inevitably need, and enjoy your complimentary (or if you’re on Spirit, obnoxiously priced) little beverages, and don’t forget to text us your every thought over this season at (703) 829-0003. BTW because it’s mentioned throughout this ep, our BBLS for BBWS tote is totally available! A perfect holiday gift for your favorite BBWs out there??? We think so! Also how cute is this little tray??? This is one of those things you buy for someone else and then just keep.

REAL LIFE EXAMPLE:“A delightfully hilarious podcast that doesn't try to explain what it is, other than two friends talking about some current events and recurring whimsies that have their own introduction jingles. If you have time, go back and listen to several episodes of the first season to understand a bit of their lore, I wouldn't suggest it if you wouldn't be in for a hilarious treat.The world feels hard some days and I look forward to episodes because they laugh so much.”EXLIBRISLARKIN YOU ARE NOW A PART OF OUR LORE BABY!!STUFF TO CHECK OUT:Guy Branum on IGCheck out ALL of our Pledge Drive 2025 lives on Youtube! Enjoy German caroling in Indiana!Nars Power Matte High-Intensity Long-Lasting lip pencil in CruellaMany wonderful options for items from Rare Beauty Not too late to buy yourself a BBLS for BBWS tote!

Today we bring you the gift of all gifts. Hop onto your lean and lank little horsie because we are officially kicking off the holidays with the full-length German carol SCHLITTENFAHRT. You are preemptively WELCOME. No thank you notes required, simply head on over to Patreon.com/textmebackpod to tell us how much you love it and how much you adore us. And if you are as obsessed with our legendary Jingleheimer Robert as we are AND you live near Carmel, Indiana, giddy up that jinglehorse and go see VOCE!After you get Schlitten-faced with that dose of holiday vibes, you’ll be prepared for the rest of the episode, because we are schlitten and fahrtin’ alllll the way under our fluffy duvets – fresh socks on – for the most cuddled up, snuggled down episode of the year. That’s right…IT’S OUR COZY EPISODE 2025. Is it more hostile than we intended? Perhaps. But ain’t that just 2025? And if we’re being honest, is there anything more cozy than complaining with your besties? After we vent a bit about outsourcing the fun and good things about life to AI, we shift into full snuggly gear to talk about our cozy programming, cozy controversies (blanket edition), and an important addition to our favorite cozy seasonal beverages. A certain beveragino heir/heiress holds the future of Lindy and Meagan’s whole ass marriages in the palm of her sweet juicy hands. We are deeply and insatiably curious to know what sorts of cozy metaphorical twigs, hairs, and fur you are using to line your cozy winter den. Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com or text us from under your pile of goose down and/or sweaty acrylic blankies on the BFF Party Phone at (703) 829-0003. Plus bonus mystery segment we’re calling: Does Lindy Have Covid?

We are swaddling you back into one of favorite and coziest episodes of all time, the ORIGINAL Cozy Episode (2023). And if you can believe it, little has changed.

Lindy has an untrademarked holiday that you can take for your own and baby you’ll NEVER guess what they call it.Next week we’ll be back with a real update on what’s making us feel cozy, dozy, and warm. In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you on important matters such as:What is making YOU feel cozy?What decades long series are you dissociating into?What are your thoughts on specifically Pennsylvania Dutch?Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com or call/text us at (703) 829-0003.TALK MORE NEXT WEEK LOVE U MUAH!NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?
