Summary
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 deartextmeback@gmail.com or on the BFF Party Phone (703) 829-0003.
