If Lindy and Meagan had a podcast back in June 2023, this episode would have been soooo timely. But they didn’t. So they’re covering the most important story of that year here and now and that is…the implosion of the Titan submersible. 

BUT BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THAT, we’re back on our endless, increasingly appalling, and all-encompassing RFK, Jr. beat, which brings us swiftly to Segment P.U.B.E.S. Somehow, this RFK, Jr. has led us on a collision course with a cohort of assholes who bullied Lindy in 2017 for being a nice dork. Guess what, dingalings? It’s 2024 and we’re ready to take you down a peg! Being good and nice is COOL and being bad and mean is NOT cool. Grow up! Be nice to fat people and stop being a hateful Nazi fangirl (this is directed to heinous public figures, not to our angel listeners who are reading this of course)! 

And one important BBW update: We will no longer be posting vids to that video website because it’s too much work for too few viewers. (But if we get more resources and demand we are open to bringing it back later on!) We’re sorry!

Want us to maintain our presence on other platforms? Here are four ways to keep us alive and unimploded in the tiny submersible we call life:
