Merch Refresh! Tell us what to make

Make 2025 the year of the bimbo

SnakeGrl

Big agree on these suggestions that have already been made: "It's not the Bill of Privileges, sweetie" “You can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it.”

Emily Kosinski

I would also buy this

Magpie

Not sure if this was shared, but from pt 2 Lawrence Vs. Texas: “this is why we need a helpline run by sober lesbians”.

Chelsea Dawson

I think your Brit pic makes a good inspiration for the t

Aisling O'Hara Hall

that’s what you get for being culturally relevant babe

Katie Metz

hot mess express!

Abigail Simmons

that's awesome, kara!! glad you share my passion for unique objects! Q: do you use the flyswatter, or is it too sacred? i hoarded my toothbrush for a while before i decided to honor it with tooth-brushing usefulness, until it could not brush teeth anymore 💗

Harvey

I got my son a t shirt with this and can’t get rid of it even though he’s outgrown it. So good.

Kara Bellavia

This is the one I need. I get the bimbo summit ones but this just really is the best to me

Kara Bellavia

Blair is such a great sm follow too. I don’t even like dogs and really into this idea.

Kara Bellavia

This is amazing

Kara Bellavia

I liked this before I’d even finished reading it. I have a John prine flyswatter that says “there are flies in the kitchen, I can hear em in there buzzing” and it is really the best. I want physical things that speak my the content of my brain back to me (and to others, of course)

Kara Bellavia

God, please. This is very funny and also painful lol

Kara Bellavia

I need something like an “Organizing in gay bars” shirt or tote now that I’ve listened to Lawrence v. Texas part 2

Katie Compson

Tenacious non-lawyer!!

coco

Yess! And "The Summer of my Ankle Monitor" from the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case episode and "Elite Deviance: Chastity's Revenge" from the Financial Crisis episode

AlettaSchuurman

I was laughing so hard when I read this 😂

AlettaSchuurman

Like. Amityville horror house vibes you know

Ailis Steele

Also like. You know the house from the cover of flowers in the attic? That but then through the windows it’s like. Bill Clinton, and Balto

Ailis Steele

Like a kind of grungy vibe one that says disco didn’t die, like pro disco but disco wants you to take the statement as a threat

Ailis Steele

how about an illustration of Sarah laying in a Brittany-style bedroom surrounded by tchotchkes that allude to other beloved episodes

Cleo Roback

need this one!

Siri

please put “and the idea that it’s a government conspiracy, it’s aliens, the government is conspiring to cover up the aliens, so like fear of UFOs is a way of expressing your fear of the government, which is fucking you in the ass at this time if you’re a cattle farmer, right, like it’s the nixon administration so yeah and also it’s only something you can debunk if you’re like, let’s talk about beef prices in the 70s for awhile, which no one wants to talk about except me” on a t shirt just for me 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Maya Goldfarb

All the hot girls have ppd.

Samantha Anne

“You cannot make a turtle regret” from Dyatlov Pass

Goldenlining

Or an illustration of the Barbie licking system of the Consumer Product Safety Board(/Council?/Mini van?)

AlettaSchuurman

It would be amazing if somebody could make an illustration of Michael Hobbes' impression of the government shut down during which Clinton started an affair with Lewinsky (but maybe leaving her out of the image). He said that at that moment there were only unpaid staff still around "so interns were walking around with nuclear codes". I would love a summer camp/white house illustration of this!

AlettaSchuurman

Look at me, a Sarah M. replying to Sarah M.'s reply about a podcast by Sarah M. Yep. That's it. That's all I came here for, that and I like the quote.

Sarah M

And eyes! I love reading with my eyes closed. Audiobooks are awesome.

Sarah M

on a pair of hot pants

Alexa Benson

This is slightly embarrassing because I collect cool quotes and YWA has had me noting down some good ones. So, here's the best ones I've got in my notes. Survive. You have to keep living in order to have a relationship that's worthy of you. - Sarah Marshall 'When everyone is following the rules, and something terrible happens, the fault is with the people who make the rules'. - Michael Hobbes on why the challenger disaster was an example of white collar crime Nothing good happens after 3am - mancuso - disco demolition night ywa Disco didn't die. It was always in our hearts and it's still there! We can blow on that ember and turn it into a raging disco inferno anytime we want! - Sarah Marshall The capacity of your human experience is more vast than you'll probably feel even most of in the time you have to be alive. First Degree Mayhem Say more about that its not the bill of privileges sweetie Put the vape down Phil

Michael Waite

“As long as the law is male, women must be outlaws”

Samantha Sintef

A bingo game of the most popular quotes?

Marina Antillon

preferably on a mini-witch cauldron :)

Marina Antillon

“You can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it.”

Sarah M.

OH! A book titled “I’ll work on the plane: the lies we tell ourselves”

Nicole F.

This week’s episode you ended with “keep breaking the law to the greatest extent you feel comfortable with” and I immediately thought that was shirt worthy (keep breaking the law in big text and the rest of the quote in a tinier text)

Darby White

seconding!! not sure if teepublic has them but this would be a great bumper sticker!

nathalie larin

I can't remember the exact wording but that as humans we are all just (a bad day? fill in the terrible situation) from being a murderer/killing someone. It sounds brutal but when you think it all the way through it is really one of the most ultimately compassionate things I've heard someone say and believe.

m easton

"help your babysitter unionize" has been one of my fave quotes for ages now (urban legends episode from way back)

Olga

finding nemo episode?!?

em

America's a developing nation with a Gucci belt, and we all know it, Laci Mosley on the welfare queen episode

Sarah Stanley

I definitely want something about Balloon fest!

Sarah Stanley

Amen I want that so bad too

Sarah Stanley

“Everyone is always trying their best” I don’t remember what episode you said this in but I think about it all the time.

Hanna

And I feel like a pro-abortion merch line would be totally in YWA spirit. Maybe with some statistics (like that most people who undergo an abortion already have children?)? Anybody any ideas?

AlettaSchuurman

I would love a coat hanger with this Michael Hobbes' quote from the Diana series. It’s about Camilla and Charles dating "So they have been dating throughout all of the 80s. He knows all of her shoulder pads"

AlettaSchuurman

I wrote down this quote, but Im not sure what episode it's from: “We forget how people can be drawn into something terrible which initially appeals to their best selves” but it's so wise! Maybe a beautiful notebook with some YWA-quotes on pages throughout the book would be nice (I have something similar with feminist quotes)

AlettaSchuurman

Forest Joy and Shahar Shrek

Also the sociopath and cheerleader being the two poles of human morality from the Prom Mom episode

Kirstine

Was listening to the Kitty Genovese episode and think a tshirt to do with the quote "Most of us are in the uncomfortable middle between nap-taking and bat-getting"

Kirstine

I understand and I support you. While of course today I started painting with gouache for the first time and I don’t paint 😂😂😂

SE

"Human woman has legs"

Chaos Baby

Yoda art with “Capitalism all along, it was”

Firstname

Thirding: It’s not The Bill of Privileges, sweetie

Firstname

A liberty of London Floral inspired print that reads "you can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it" from your Diana series. I have it on a letterboard- it is one of my favorite things you have ever said.

Miranda c

Pranks are for people who don't have complex PTSD on a vinyl sticker!

Angel

THISSSSSSSSSSSS

Angel

Maybe just because I’m re listening to Michelle remembers but “Lithe therapist” makes me chuckle and I’d wear it on a shirt

Handsome Dave

I do dye a lot of my own yarn! But I’m trying to convince myself to do fewer projects. 😂

AJ Renard

I feel like you could make this dream happen with koolaid dying 😏

SE

Stopping in to let you know I get compliments every time I wear my "aww sweetie no" shirt. It's also a good friend test if someone knows the proper tone to read it in. :)

Rebecca M

Logo USB stick lighter preloaded with a mixtape from Carolyn(sp?)

Yeroc

To quote Princess Weekes from a recent episode: "I want the Eras t-shirt, but for Rosa Parks."

If you wear it to Trader Joe’s you get better service. Worse service at Whole Foods.

Satanic Panic! At the disco (is that a copyright issue?)

Michaela Morris

Alexandra Starks

“What about Michelle’s fiber arts?”

Ceelsabub

Genuine fave Sarah quote “you can never be too nice to people”

Abby

Ofcourse! Okay I googled a bit (because I have no clueee ) and there are some websites where you can upload files anonymously and then share a link for people to download them (but if anybody has a better idea, please let us know!): hostize.com; file.io; send anywhere; ufile.io.

AlettaSchuurman

Or anything regarding Beware the Tradwife

Kfisch

How about an "i read audiobooks" mug. Listening to words is so much easier for my middle aged brain to handle

Kfisch

This is 100% the best!

Kathleen A Jordan

A You're Wrong About felt pennant would be pretty great!

Kathleen A Jordan

I want that entire quote on some merch!

Jes Mattera

Sure, I just don't want to do with my email or anything, do you have any suggestions on how?

Kirstine

This is too clunky to put on anything I think, but it’s too good to let fade into the past: “If she'd wanted the jury to listen to her, she would have had a different hairstyle that would have made all of the sanctuaries of systemic racism just melt away. Show me that hairdo.” (Marcia Clark Part 1)

Hannah

I found the exact quote from The O.J. Simpson Trial: Paula Barbieri Part 1: “Let's blame a woman, you know? This is not blame a woman. The hit board game of the 1990s.”

Hannah

Sarah’s mom asking “Why are people always unpacking things?”

Candi Risk

Something I've repeated to SEVERAL female friends - "You're Not Gonna Get Trafficked, He's Just A Creep"

Ash Peake

Britney Spears octopus shirts pls

Frances Gumm

I survived the Satanic Panic.

J M

Oh man I don't remember that but I love it so much! Great great quote wow

H e ll a m a l a i s e

I think the rest of that quote is “we make geodes look like regular rocks” it’s old but I wrote it down because I loved it so much 😂

Laura

Oh my god could you guys publish those quoted somewhere?

AlettaSchuurman

I always wondered which episode it was from (and I swearrrr I listened to most YWA episodes a 100 times!)

AlettaSchuurman

Yessssss!!!

AlettaSchuurman

It's from the Diana episodes I think 🥰 "you can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it"

AlettaSchuurman

There’s a nice lady in this story Unfairly maligned women always make history Barry Scheck with a Marcia Clark rising It’s not The Bill of Privileges, Sweetie Hot mess expresssssss

lilrro

George Michael quote about being a slut!

Emily Voorhis

"Hot mess express" is stuck in my mind too, but I didn't remember what episode it was from, so thanks! 😃 also, I think it is a theme throughout the podcast, so I think it would be very fitting

Maria

"Hot mess express"! I don't remember what episode(s) it's from, but since I first heard it I've wanted a t-shirt with that phrase, it's forever stuck in my head 😁

Maria

A shirt that says 'hoax spectacular' in a spooky font in the front and two young women using puppet strings on a house in the back

Elijah Lugo

"Ask me about lesbian seagulls"

Meredith Mullins

okay, hear me out,,,, ! i have all these big feelings about like, the entire Make A T-Shirt Of That™ industry...? i get really excited when the people/groups i support have a unique item on offer instead; a small record label i like did promotional yo-yos, and then there was the local band i was thrilled to find had brought these bamboo toothbrushes with their band name and slogan printed on the side. it would be really cute to have something like a miniature full color cardboard "sarah's recording closet" diorama, like a little paper dolls kind of thing? or one of those triangle felt pennants for your wall? i'd slam that order now button. maybe not a very easy behind the scenes kind of details answer here, but these sorts of things feel so special to me! i don't have slogan ideas, but the thing i bought in the past that i enjoyed a lot was the rainbow you're wrong about design; i really like to rep the show itself!! the closest i can get to a more specific thing is maybe something about the revelations that were along the lines of how 'nature is indifferent' in some of the survival episodes -- those incredible stories and the contemplation of that concept has become a favorite revisited theme. it would probably be too expensive to get, like, a swiss army knife or an old timey water canteen custom made, but a fan can dream, i guess? anyways, thank you for reading my very long comment! love you!

Harvey

100% this

Stephanie Smith

I'm listening to the D&D episode and think my partner might need a "light in the D20" shirt or hat.

acg

How about..." and we never agreed to call him K-Fed" from the Brittney episode

Jennifer Carpenter

“The human condition is a motherfucker.” from the Karen Carpenter episode would be great

Maggie Manzano

I loved “Reading is just shame leaving the body.” from that episode

Maggie Manzano

something goth

brucatini

Also "I survived ____"

Beth Harrison

I have a spreadsheet with quotes that started as YWA quotes and then expanded

Sofía Rauschert

also i love “____ and all i got was this lousy t shirt” like “i was at balloonfest ‘86 and all i got was this lousy t shirt”

Luke Bowers

Love ALL of these and would also love if the old merch stays as I've gifted multiples of the capitalism stickers and love having that available!

Megan Bacalao Virkler

Agreed, something about heroic dogs. Because don't we need that?

CarrieJ

I would LOVE this

Morgan Ruoss

A shirt or tote that says “Unfairly Maligned Women of the 1990s” and has the faces of all the women you’ve covered that belong in that category. Also something about how most bad things are Ronald Reagan’s fault. Maybe a babysitters unionize sticker!

Lily Nellans

Bimbo merch!

Emily C

Definitely something Britney themed - but I don’t have an idea, i’ll think on it 😅

michelle pendergrass

Writing in to say folks are already selling the “it was capitalism all along” swag so it might be good to reclaim your IP!

Bri Rambo

Love this!

Trisha

I’m not sure if anyone else has suggested “Paperback Queen” but it’s my favorite from the Flowers in the Attic ep

Ariel

As a figure skater, I would love a shirt with a skater making a pentagram 🤣

Shanna Kramer

I love this idea!

Aidan Novo

OMG wait is this sara who i used to babysit with? 🥰 love fandom friendships! you’ve got great taste in podcasts

Esti Shapiro

I love this idea

Aidan Novo

Now I know how I am procrastinating today :)

Sara K.

Any chance this is Esti Shapiro from Denver?!

Sara K.

Came here to say “it was capitalism all along” - I say it weekly in convos 😂

Krista Toovey

and also “the only reason i know what my favorite songs are about is because all of them are about being cheated on by lindsay buckingham” and on a more serious note: "Anger is about hopefulness.) (rest of quote is “To be able to be angry is to be able to believe that things could be different than they are.")

Esti Shapiro

two older quotes i still think about daily: “you can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it.” from princess diana “welcome to you’re wrong about where every so often we stop being so depressing and get gay” from disco demolition night

Esti Shapiro

“Satan is in the public domain”

Nicholas Heynsbergh

"How short of a skirt was commercial fishing wearing that night?" - Exxon Valdez (deep cut)

Chaos Baby

“this car climbed Bimbo Summit” in the style of the Mt. Washington bumper stickers

Gray K

This is correct behavior

Chaos Baby

I think she's one time said "let's go unflatten some people in history" or something to that affect

Kirstine

Also a "Bimbos are nice" bumper sticker

Kirstine

Whatever you choose, this labor shouldn't go unpaid. Even if it's a donation to a nonprofit supporting women in the ocean industry if you choose to use the seagull image idea.

PurplePorpoise

Also probably not on tee public but sew on patches with the YWA logo

Victoria

This is everything! Social worker here. We all need this for the hard days and the hard clients and the clients who are having hard days.

PurplePorpoise

"Aww! sweetie <3 " and you don't know if it's patronizing or sincere

PurplePorpoise

"It was capitalism all along" and "honey, he's just some guy, hit him with your car" (from the Amy Winehouse episode)

Éva Kovács

I'm in school to be a vet tech and need this to make all the owners who are way into their dog breeds crazy. (Also we're studying breed identifiers next week and I vow to only refer to them as brands.)

Jennifer Gorman

Just some guy

Emily Walker

I cannot express how much I want that quote on any and all merchandise.

Jennifer Gorman

My "where are the lesbians" tie dye shirt is always a winner 😏

Marissa Taylor

Seagulls designed the in lesbian flag colors, OR Sarah’s Bill Clinton drag alter ego. 😄

Kristen D. Burton

"Must Be Nice!" Please 🙏😄

CrazzyPanda

Any callback to this quote from shaken baby ep: "It's always the (criminal) masterminds that can't afford a good lawyer isn't that interesting? Why are the masterminds all so poor?"

Kaylee Pitman

I want Balto merch! Or 'Blair and Sarah's Iditarod Training' bumper stickers, something in that vein. Dog sledding x Blair inspo

H e ll a m a l a i s e

I want more emo looking merch😭 could do well with the satanic panic ideas here

Luke

“Hot Mess Express” pleeeease!

Louise Marks

"Humans contain multitudes"

H e ll a m a l a i s e

"I will never NOT have just watched The Mummy!" is an all-time quotable favorite.

H e ll a m a l a i s e

Bimbo Summit convention tee! And/or Bimbos for president

Theresa Baughman

All I have ever wanted is something that says "It was the Satanic Panic all along." I don't think this phrase has ever actually been uttered on the show, but I do feel it's the spiritual tagline.

Beth Harrison

I am both proud and ashamed to admit that I have a very long document with Sarah quotes. One that could make a good tshirt is "God's away on business, but Satan is a helicopter parent" with a drawing of Satan as a helicopter parent

Kirstine

Technically a Maintenance Phase phrase, but Sarah was there for it: "Function in disaster, finish in style"

El Call

“Cleveland Balloonfest ‘86 Truther” 😂

Isu

Leave Britney Alone (AGAIN)

Julia Zebley

I would love a running shirt that says “What’s interval training?”

Erin Collins

CHEESE!

Erin Collins

More it was capitalism all along! It’s my fav

Marcie

you said once you’d make a bumper sticker that said “bimbos are nice” and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since then!

Whitney

Whatever you do please don’t get rid of Sarah skates in the shape of a pentagram lol it’s iconic

Alison

"It at capitalism all along!" But retro Scooby Doo style words.

Emily Adams

maybe like fake convention merch for bimbo summit

Ruben Crystal

I need anything relating to the term “maligned women of history”

Emerson

I came here to say the same thing! I want this on a shirt stickers a hat anything!!!

Carmen Wyttenbach

bimbo summit i need more bimbo summit in my life

Ruben Crystal

In one of your early episodes you said something like, “Blame it on the woman! America’s favorite board game!” So the design could be a board game with images of different women in the squares with “Blame it on the woman!” In the middle and “America’s favorite board game!” in retro script.

Hannah

It's an oldy but a goody; I'd love a "Nevertheless!"

Dominique Kidd

Lesbian seagulls. I think about that episode so often. And have told multiple people it is mandatory listening.

Lizzy Bartelt

Need.

Sara Nadeau

Love this!

Madeline Musante

Bonus points if it’s magnetic!

Sara Nadeau

Yes please!!! I think about this a lot

Madeline Musante

its mine too!! i think about it all the time

Luke Bowers

That is my favorite random quote to open the show, like, ever.

Sara Nadeau

george michael episodes referential merch would also be great

Luke Bowers

Disco themed shirts that say "Every now and then we stop being depressing and get gay"

Elijah Lugo

i would adore merch from the blair braverman episodes, like the line talking about how nature doesnt care about you. also maybe the “you can’t read a turtle a victim impact statement, or you can, but they wont care”

Luke Bowers

“It’s been 84 years…”

Alethia St. Joan

"I've never heard of that brand of dog" -Michael, upon learning Kato was an akita

Chaos Baby

“Empathy”

Holly F Laird

"Cheese is a character"

Savannah Paige Boozer

Yes! Like a subtle design of 2 seagulls in lesbian flag colors would be delightful

Jazmine Anderson

I would love an illustration of a demon babysitter saying “I can have as many popsicles as I want.” I think about Sarah’s Batman/demon voice reveal a lot. Also I’m an artist (specialty: horror) and would love to donate the illustration if that’s of interest!

Alex M

1987 Year of The Bimbo!!!

Maya Marquee

Literally anything Michelle Remebers related.

carly johnson

“You can be a hot mess express and still leave the world better than you found it” !!!

Amanda Kramp

A bumper sticker that says "hot mess express" 💚

Lindsay LaBarre

the quote from i want to say the vc andrews episode? where sarah’s like, reading is just shame leaving the body

Al K

Let's start a moral panic!

Cayte Boyer

I promise this is not meant to creep anyone out and I swear I'm not a stalker, but you should make Sarah Marshall Barbies so that when I need to explain something in depth to someone (and no one wants to hear it) I can talk to my Sarah Marshall doll. And maybe when you press her hand she says, "Awww sweetie", "This sounds like a updated Satanic Panic" and "Jesus probably wouldn't be apart of ANY American political party!" And "This sounds like an issue if late stage capitalism" etc. The Sarah Marshall doll should also look nothing like a Barbie and more like a cozy podcaster with endless time and empathy.

Madison poiry

I knoooooowww 😭

AJ Renard

second

mish the fish

i would love a "i am the american dream" shirt. also a summer camp themed book club shirt (or line of shirts)

mish the fish

I really want the bimbo shirt that you were selling on the last tour! I didn’t buy it at the show and I regret it all the time!!

Nicole Grande

'Potatoe'

hayley kessler

"She's everything, and he's just Kevin"

Nathalie Ballard

Lesbian seagulls. Obvs.

Savannah Paige Boozer

I vote more Satanic Panic merch, please. Especially with spooky season around the corner

Sara Wells

I was just looking at your shop and wishing the “rushed sloppy irritated and alive” design was available in a print! I’m on the hunt for wall art for my bathroom and wouldn’t that be perfect

Morgan Osborne

We need Togo merch! Wild and chaotic until given a purpose.

Savannah Paige Boozer

Ombré yarn in the YRA colors! (I’m on a crochet kick 🤣)

AJ Renard

“Too gay and fat to drive.” From the George Michael episodes! As soon as I heard it, I needed it on a bumper sticker/ t shirt.

Aleko Giatrakis

The cover image made me think of Britney’s classic “Dump Him” baby tee, but replace it with “Educate Him” or “Correct Him”

Amanda Kelly

I always thought “Saved by a Carter” from the Homelessness episode would make for great merch

Linda Maleh

I can’t remember if this is from You’re Wrong About or You Are Good, but I really want a tshirt that’s says “The future belongs to side characters.”

Evelyn Thorne

salty buttery toast merch.

Delaney Mallory
