Lindy and Meagan are Famously Dead
Today, we tide! Sadly, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico kindly asked Meagan (la Reina Lazy) to put away her ass and return to the Continental United States immediamente, so she is back to report on if she a) kissed Benito or b) kissed Ricky Martin orrrrr secret option c) kissed Billy the Magician. AND we are reaching a muy satisfying conclusion to our lazy river saga, wherein Meagan finds the laziest rio in alllll of Puerto Rico. Sorry in advance to the polo-presenting Americans in our community – your experience is valid! And back at the ranch, Lindy tells us all about tiny town USA and her Braum’s redemption tour. No more asking the teens behind the counter to defrost the chicken pimiento –  we think you’re gonna like what she ordered.  NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?

Lindy and Meagan Hear a Twink Snap
Welcome back, it’s a brand new day because that’s how time works. It’s definitely not the same day, as you can see from Meagan’s cool new way of sitting and Lindy’s fresh new ‘do.  In today’s Whatcha Watchin’,  🚨🚨BIG Spoiler Alert 🚨🚨bc Meagan is fired up on a little number called Song Sung Blue. Do you think this movie is a stinky diaper or not a stinky diaper? It’s a little late to rehabilitate Meagan’s opinion, but you can certainly hash it out in the discord over at patreon.com/textmebackpod. AND THEN, we’re talking Normal News!!!! You’ll never guess what appeared on Lindy’s Instagram feed!! He has a friar tuck hair cut, pecs, and hangs out in a mysterious swamp. Tune in for more details and let us know what you think at [email protected]. And last and possibly least 🎀🐶Dog Thoughts 🐶🎀. Is Kevin cancelled? Is Lindy cancelled for her unforgivable coinage? Text or call in with your own dog thoughts (and pics!) at (703) 829-0003. NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?
