Summary

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? Tune in to find out how it shakes out.
