This episode has everything: curdled milk, tiny hats, the Tour de France, Big Gretch. And that’s all before the break! In our SECOND segment, we explore our favorite topic of the week: ads.

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???). Email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com to share what ads live rent-free in your brainestrone!

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 deartextmeback@gmail.com.

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'

It’s a week of chaotic tidings for Lindy and Meagan that includes a befuddled Barry, rogue Cochin chickens, and snakes galore. Lindy’s spontaneous road trip has an unexpected ending, Meagan has an unhinged encounter with a live rooster on the streets of DC, and our beloved segment SNAKE OF THE WEEK is back. Move over Freekaconda and Titanoboa, new large snakey queen just dropped. Also, because dinosaurs are snakes if you think about it, Meagan shares a dinosaur finding for her snake of the week. Spoiler! The new (78 million year old) dino is a proud gay Gen Z American raising funds to run for Congress! Want to support him? Then subscribe to our Patreon!

From some unfamiliar Lindy source: Move Over Titanoboa, Fossil Of "Largest Snake To Have Ever Existed" Found In Gujarat

From NPR: Named after the Norse god Loki, meet Lokiceratops, a new horned dinosaur species
