HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM! GET
Hello faithful Text Me Backolytes and welcome new listeners (we're sorry in advance to newbies! You could not have chosen a more wild starting place, but you'll catch on fast!). Today Lindy and Meagan kick off with a humble but necessary installment of Department of Corrections: Peter Edition. Apparently one of these colonizing yahoos from last week did, in fact, step foot in Washington State–but don't worry, we've decided to make that one a bonus Q so you can still graduate 8th grade. But the question remains: WHICH Peter from last week is the lucky boy to bless this mess? Tune in to find out.Then it's straight into Dog Thoughts, where we learn that Barry is a secret alpha?? You been listening to Joe Rogan, Bar???? Apparently, our gentle copper king does toxic male behavior at a public gathering and no amount of bully sticks–with or without Lindy's signature flavoring–can calm him down. Meanwhile, back at the Pennsylvanian Dutch Farm that is Meagan's condo, Kevin screams at ghosts in the living room. The vibes are unwell.And finally, the most Normalest News: Dire wolves have a moment in the sun before the reality of the situation is understood (GMO wolves are a little less cool to market than Dire Wolves so we don't NOT get it, but girl we need healthcare so can we focus, or????). And to round out our Normal News segment, Meagan brings us intel that people are body-shaming a mascot. SO NORMAL. Ellie the Elephant, we love you and you owe us NOTHING besides several headstands, fierce braid swings, and a liberal twerking of that ass on that court.And our 95%ers are in for a treat at the end where Lindy offers an unsolicited rotation of impersonations!!!!! You literally do not have to stick around and we're flummoxed every time you do!NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?

If you thought Lindy's train adventure was an unhinged delight YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. This week it's Meagan who hits the dusty trail on a trek from Washington, (District of Columbia) to Washington (State). Meagan bravely Dale Coopers her whole ass off with that tiny influencer mic. Along the way she endures a mid-flight beef with her evil auntie doppelganger, being bullied by her brother, and a fight for her life over a Caesar salad.And not to brag but some pretty good stuff happens along the way too. Meagan learns what the youth are into (Fortnite). We get to hear from iconic BFFs Ingrid and Ella and learn the true meaning of lifelong friendship (matching outfits). And Lindy and Meagan solve a decades-old mystery of The Killer on the Burke Gilman trail (hello, young man
This week, Lindy and Meagan submit a heartfelt notes app apology. We are so sorry to all the snakes and worms and devoted listeners out there. To help mend some of these shattered fences, we bring you not just one…but THREE Snakes of the Week
Who is better: Nicolas Cage or John Travolta? Text Me Back co-hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays return for this live debate from On Air Fest! Lindy argues that Cage has much more range on-screen and is far less controversial off-screen. Meagan (who used to run a John Travolta hate page on MySpace) points out that Travolta is a triple threat: Oscar-nominated actor, dancer, and singer with four top-40 hits. How will Ronald Young Jr. rule? And will the live audience agree? Follow Lindy @thelindywest on Instagram and Meagan @importantmeagan on Instagram.

Lindy is running on the fumes of borrowed youth, and Meagan is one (1) glass of wine deep. This is the opposite of a Magic Mind episode where we're cool collected cucumbers and we're calling it Tipsy Back Podcast!Lindy brings tidings from the So True Hype House, where Lindy desperately tries to impress her young comedy crushes, starts a group chat she may or may not be kicked out of, and endures a self-imposed spiral of rarely-seen proportions. Next…we asked and you delivered, friends! Ghost grandpas, sweaty side-hugging men offering some armchair psychiatry, and the CREEPIEST sandbar cult man we've ever heard of
Welcome to another classic episode of Text Me Back, where Lindy and Meagan, two self-appointed kings, tackle the most pressing issues of our time. See agenda below:FIRST AGENDA ITEM: Buggies. Meagan bullies a neighbor by sending another round of live bugs to a stranger's building. And friends…there is potentially a third round of bugs en route. The only real downside is that this is accidental bullying and Meagan may have to leave the D.C. area :/NEXT UP: We're checking in on Lindy's Rebuilding Year! Wikifeet Update: We Don't Feel Safe!!! And to the person who uploaded 72 photos of Lindy's feet…thank you? We think?? Either way the score has CHANGED. Tune in to see what Lindy's rating is now! Are you a Wikifeet growth hacker? Tell us your top tips by texting or calling the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.AND AFTER THE BREAK: Normal News. Bioluminescent pig butt worms and reptile smuggling. Need we say more? We're gonna say more. Thank you to everyone sending in Normal News–never stop DMing us @textmebackpod.Plus, a correction on last week's Sir Topham Hatt / George Carlin conspiracy (we regret the error), a heartfelt thank you to MagicMind for keeping Lindy off coffee, and an urgent item for cougars to weigh in: Would Lindy jogging in the woods activate your predatory instincts?

This week we continue a-milkin' that New York cow! Um, excuse us? We are walking here. Meagan and Lindy make a brave break from their cozy hotel room into the NYC winter night to watch Drag Race at a local bar/mystery tent and meet THE Thorgy Thor camping out in there! Somebody go back in time, call our elder care facility, and tell them to bring us a knit blanket! Have you ever experienced a winter chill? DM us Y/N @textmebackpodAnd next, we add a sexy twist to our age-old Segment P.U.B.E.S. This week we're calling it Segment P.U.B.E.S.: Crazy Lady Living in a Bag. Two guesses as to who the crazy ladies are. Won't you join us in our bag? Tbh we get a little real here because it's BAD out there, and the badness is all by design. (Check out Meagan's latest installment of SWAMP PERSON for more thoughts on “What are you allowed to be mad about?”)And ultimately we're gonna have to make room for more crazy ladies in our bag. We'll shove aside the orange peels, used tissues, old receipts, and empty hand sanitizer bottles to welcome in anyone who wants to fight alongside us for something better–and we're going to do our best to give them one of our crumbled cookies to welcome them in. If we're gonna turn the tides of fascism, it'll be with the help of misguided voters AND at least one annoying guy with a rinky-dink sign. We wanna know what you're mad about and what you're doing to resist! Email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com.Finally, a plea to the Text Me Backolytes: bring back the ghosts! Lindy and Meagan demand more supernatural content, and the listeners must deliver. Call in with your spookiest ghost encounters (or just a story about a scary man in a car, that counts too).

Unearthed from their On Air Fest goodie bags, Lindy and Meagan discover little teensy influencer microphones! And if you know how jazzed one host in particular gets about the media board, you can guess what this means–absolute unhinged chaos aka a cross country FIELD TRIP!
Today, Lindy and Meagan are recording this episode in their most natural state: lying down.That's right–these two sleepy gals are broadcasting from a very fancy Big Fig mattress at On Air Fest in Brooklyn, NYC aka DA BIG APPLE. And they're not alone! They're in bed with the biggest grifter in the biz, a legendary podcast king and professional menace…Ronald Young Jr. Big Ron gives us the scoop on New York's hottest restaurants (a sexy little local joint~Aplé-beis~), gives us many a glad tiding, and tells us Watch-him Watchin!

Deep-cut audio lore, chaotic jingles, and possibly altering the course of America—just another exceedingly normal episode of Text Me Back.
Which actor had the better childhood career: Macaulay Culkin or Elijah Wood? Text Me Back co-hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays battle it out today. Lindy argues that Macaulay’s childhood career undoubtedly has had the bigger impact on popular culture. Meagan counters that Elijah’s 90s repertoire proves his superior range as an actor, and foreshadows his more successful adult career. Ronald Young Jr. considered this very debate when he was a kid during the height of Elijah and Macaulay’s childhood stardom. But how will he rule today?

A real embarrassment of riches over here on the Text Me Back side of the internet. First, we pay tribute to David Lynch, which bridges poetically into our next phase of entertainment: the Trump administration's trailblazing focus on Making Hollywood Great Again with washed up losers who failed out of Hollywood! If art isn't dead already, these freakin' ding dongs will make sure it's killed for good.But you know what? We also have good news. Our segment Normal News brings us wonderful news about zombie pig brains! And in the famed and celebrated segment known as Christmas Addendum, Meagan shares a trinket we CHALLENGE you to guess (email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com with your guesses prior to hearing the answer–we'll know if you cheat). Plus, some faithful reporting on news from pop culture magazines AKA slop culture. WE NEED OUR ACCOLADES!

We're back again! And maybe this episode is slightly more normal than last week's (complimentary)? We're back on our Whatcha Watchin' nonsense, and we're talking Later Daters, The Ultimatum, Dateline, Sports (Beyoncé), and last and absolutely least: ReelShorts (??). Have you seen Later Daters?? TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS at deartextmeback@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram. Are you getting served ReelShorts slop? Tell Meagan EVERYTHING via the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003.

It may be the dead of winter, but in our hearts the clammy buds of spring are bursting–and so are Lindy and Meagan!—with squeaky-clean teeth, resolutions, and creamed corn. This week, they dive into their post-holiday recap, revisit their 2024 affirmations, and commit to their new 2025 goals (including being Even Better Better Businesswomen!!). Plus, the Text Me Backolytes share their own resolutions! We are eating fruit, sewing, cooking, and enriching our pets' lives. We are going to the library. We are being cute. This is the resistance, friends!It's not too late to share your resolutions!

That's right, Lindy and Meagan have teamed up once again with Luke and Andrew of Too Beautiful to Live to bring you another episode that will take you on several journeys involving puppies in witness protection, Meagan's little buggies, Luke's homicidal tendencies, and Andrew's connection to a famous TMB earworm involving dogs, shit, and peach pits.In other words, a perfectly normal crossover event hosted by four well-adjusted adults who don't have any problems at all.

BBW Updates! Corny Tyme! A nostalgic game! Lindy's delirious brush with VH1 fame! This episode has it all!In this segment-stacked episode, Lindy and Meagan share BBW updates you won't wanna miss (peep our links below). Listen, we wish we had all the land, energy, and fertilizer in the world to start a commune in the woods with many many donkeys! We wish we could find an abandoned boxcar and ride the rails into the sunset forever and ever! But realistically, the resistance looks more like staying engaged, doing art, building community, and other forms of activism. We wanna know how are you staying engaged politically? Tell us how you're getting through it at deartextmeback@gmail.com.Lindy and Meagan also dive into nostalgia with their new game, I Like the '90s! It's different enough, or parody! Don't come at us Video Hits 1! Also send us that unaired Lindy footage

Oh how sweet and innocent we were when we recorded this ep one whole week before Election Day! Oh to be doubled up on Zoloft on this day!When we recorded this episode, we envisioned a world where it might be possible to ever feel comfortable and cozy again. That's why we brought you our annual Cozy Recs, complete with eggnog (or milk-based alternatives), oversized hoodies, and the famous cozy game you know and love: SMDDRFFAD! Does that help?? Is coziness possible? In any event, we hope you enjoy the only show on air brave enough to encourage you to replace all your blood with the sand of a weighted blanket. We're going to need a lot of sand. On a serious note, we're a little scared. We hope this podcast can continue to be a light for you as our world darkens. We'll keep fighting alongside you for a better world, for us and for our communities, because we have to. We love you.

Happy Halloween! This week, Lindy and Meagan accidentally pull off a spook-filled episode. An eerie hamlet full of demigods! Warty pumpkins! Creepy crusties and the horrors and potions of age! Keanu Reeves-vampire-time-traveler-boyfriend! Oh, I dunno and THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION??

This week, Lindy and Meagan come bearing two important pieces of news. First up, is a long-awaited update on Kevin's nads. And equally important to report: Lindy and Meagan make an iron-clad commitment. A promise to NOT laugh at the biffs, blunders, and incomprehensible nonsense spewing from Donald Trump. We're calling it the No-Giggle Pledge, and the terms include donating to the Harris-Walz campaign each time they fail to hold to this democracy-enforcing covenant. Kamala, get prepared to add some zeros to your bank account, sweetie!Next on the docket are two compelling conspiracies. Lindy presents a theory that American Apparel's chokehold on our country in the mid-aughts was merely a Nelson Mandela effect. Where did all those tube tops and ass shorts go?! And meanwhile, Meagan reaches the internet ice wall and is convinced that the bizarre ads she is delivered are nothing more than inscrutable brain bait that must be clicked.And finally, our favorite segment, Whatcha Watchin'! Lindy and Meagan share their thoughts on two highbrow intellectual progrums: BritBox's McDonald & Dodds and HBO's Chimp Crazy. But who is watching what? The answer may surprise you. Tune in to find out! And tell us whatchoo watchin' on the telly in the Discord!Don't forget–Lindy and Meagan are inviting our dear listeners to send in their cozy unsolved mysteries! They are fully prepared to dust off their magnifying glasses and deerhunter caps and get to work, so send them in to deartextmeback@gmail.com!Are you gonna watch Chimp Crazy??

This week Lindy and Meagan are 42% less rude than last week! We decompress after last week's call outs and the Titan Submersible implosion recap (where the mean % points really racked up) and get back to our earnest, nerdy roots. Lindy spends American dollars on a personalized Hydro Flask. Kevin graduates from puppy school, so naturally we assign Breakfast Club archetypes to the rest of the pupporinos (Kevin is either the Janitor or Judd Nelson, who could really say). But the crowning jewel of the episode comes with breaking ground on territory few podcasters dare to explore: a discussion about what TV programs we're watching with our one and only precious lifetime on this planet. For Lindy and Meagan, it's the beautiful disaster that is Ink Master. From questionable tattoo challenges to even more questionable judging, they break down their top moments from the show (including “Leatherface Grandma” and Taco Bell spon con). WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INK MASTER? We must know. Text us or leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003.We need a new mystery!

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: If you like our stuff, share a post or a clippy clip of ours around why dontcha?

This week, Meagan returns from her near-death appendix betrayal! And she comes bearing many a tale from those hallowed hospital wings. Tales of: a murderous vestigial organ on the loose, sexy doctors cutting free what no longer serves, a spooky Jack Nicholson moment, and (dot dot dot) a murder mystery???And while Lindy awaits to hear the fate of an extremely ill Meagan, she sustains an injury from playing a video game too hard. If you've played Cult of the Lamb, you can probably relate. So they're just two brave businesswomen healing from equally traumatic illnesses. If you're also a brave businesswoman who is #healing, let us know what you're doing to entertain yourself! DM us on Instagram at @textmebackpod!If you are Dante Basco, email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com and come be a guest on our pod! Thank you to Textmebackolyte Jacqueline (and HUSBAND) for this incredible Ottawa Comic Con reporting
In this week's episode, Meagan's appendix decides to take this “I Can Fix Her” segment to a whole new level and makes an unexpected break for it. And as a result, 50% of our hosts are in the hospital and our episode is a little shorter than usual! When the appendix decides to say *bye girl
This just in: Lindy and Meagan are normal people bringing you the normalest news!

Sound the alarms, notify the press, we're in our CHOCOLATE MILK ERA.Think chocolate milk couldn't possibly fill 20+ minutes of an episode? THINK AGAIN, BROTHER. We have thoughts to share, we have a problematic google brewing (so sorry), we have service journalism to share, and most importantly, we have an attempt to draw a throughline between orange beef and chocolate milk (you simply must tell us if you can co-sign this comparison).But that's not all--it's a week of Whatcha Watchin', current obsessions (ie big natural jugs o' chocolate milk), and a listener mail bag moment. If you have been texting us or leaving voicemails on the Best Friend Party Phone, believe us when we say that we cherish every anecdote, snake story, and cover letter. So this week we are delivering two iconic stories, one of which features a maxi pad fluttering American-Beauty-style in the night.

Well, Sharks, we hear you, and that's why this week we're giving you a little sneak peek at Lindy and Meagan's Patreon exclusive series 2 Shrill 2 Furious: Portland Drift!Lindy and Meagan dive deep into the chaotic, hilarious, and often absurd process of turning Lindy's book, Shrill, into a hit TV show. From fast-tracking to series and rubbing elbows with Elizabeth “Liz” Banks to nearly losing Aidy Bryant over a lead character that was a bit too "disgusting," Lindy spills all the behind-the-scenes tea. Learn how Hollywood really works—or doesn't—and why it's just as glam, stressful, and utterly bizarre as you've always imagined.If you haven't already, check out Lindy's book, Shrill!

This week is a grab bag special, which is a euphemism for “we forgot to plan anything for this episode,” and our hands are pulling out a special little treat from the archives. That's right, it's a stumble down memory lane where Lindy and Meagan talk about one of their early jobs working at Paul Allen's musical history storage facility, Seattle's Experience Music Project (now MoPOP).From the multi-sensory (
This week Lindy kicks us off with an unforgettable Dave Matthews tribute, but don't let that stop you from staying tuned, it doesn't last that long! We have SO many segments today (3). First, we kick off with segment P.U.B.E.S, which is quickly becoming dedicated to our own biffs, blunders, and bad ethics, and this week we actually do include a hit of that sweet sweet Socrates music after Alli PERSONALLY raked the internet to find what she hopes is a worthy nostalgic little riff (sorry for leaving you hanging, sweet bbs!
You know them from being blacklisted from the Bulgarian podcast charts. You know them from leading the boards in Estonia. And third most likely, you know them from their podcast Too Beautiful to Live! This week Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays sit down with Luke Burbank and Andrew Walsh for round two of their crossover series, and Lindy did NOT have to frantically Google their names and bios during the recording this time.Our tidings are full of bad pans and youth-infested homes. Lindy's deep dive into her daughter's weekend stay at their cabin leads to a detective-worthy investigation, while Meagan's love for the Olympics turns her into a proud violently patriotic American
It's official, these two BBWs are breaking news left and right. Lindy and Meagan predict a Kamala presidential campaign (2024), break bad news about Harambe (2016), and give you the scoop about a hot new TV show called Freaks and Geeks (1999).Plus, this week we asked YOU if you agreed with the inspiration for our hyped up Larry Flynt bit and the results are in! Tune in to hear the conclusive but certainly not final chapter of this saga. We think you're going to Ohh-Vehr-døZzz.But Lindy and Meagan's watchdog journalism is never over. Lindy saves a toad (probably). Meagan has interactions with not one but TWO veep candidates, and if you think JD Vance contacted her on a normal platform, you'd be wrong! And last but not least, these two newspapermen discuss gaming! Are you an aspiring D&D dork? Do you love iPhone games? What should Lindy and Meagan try playing?

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!

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!

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.

This week we are proud to report that we have a husband listener! Welcome, buddy! And what a time to be a new listener and/or a husband, because in this episode Lindy and Meagan are doing the Lord's work: ranking dragons. We're talking about Smaug. We're talking about Puff. We're talking about…the other ones.BUT THEN, as if that wasn't enough, Lindy and Meagan bravely breach a topic few have dedicated so much air time to. It's a little something with a big story to tell, it's the must-have accessory for your high A1C, it's an ear worm even mightier than the one in RFK Jr.'s brain. It's the Jardiance jingle, and in case you were wondering: yes, we play it in its entirety.If YOU are a husband who listens to the show, we want to hear from your wife!

This week's episode is hot hot hot—literally and figuratively. We've got a special guest! Our personal hero Lizz Winstead, who's been making waves in comedy and politics for decades. And Lindy does NOT make it weird. One dragon question per guest IS normal.Lizz Winstead is the co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, co-founder of Air America Radio, and current powerhouse behind Abortion Access Front. Lizz dishes on her storied career, shares tales from the front lines of abortion access activism, and gives us the scoop on her latest project—the documentary No One Asked You, currently making rounds at film festivals (our Provincetown listeners need to go to the screening literally today!). We wrap up with a revealing game of F.M.K.I.H.B.F.D.T.S (the famous game you know and love) involving some of our favorite and most dangerous political villains. Tune in to hear how Lizz weaponizes karaoke and Freaky Friday mind swaps for the good.

This week, Lindy and Meagan both realize that they've been having thoughts about dogs, which we're sharing in a new segment called DOG THOUGHTS. What if dogs could sweat? And what, exactly, is the nature of a dog's business?Then, we have a story from the Best Friend Party Phone about a piece of fan mail gone horribly wrong--a seemingly innocent letter traumatized a room full of fourth graders, teaching them the hard way that the Killer is real and he lurks everywhere. Even in your homework assignments. Lindy and Meagan go on to reminisce about their own experiences bothering celebrities in the 1990s, including one of the most legendary moments from their friendship lore: the time they met their late-night talk show host hero. Tune in to find out how much they scared him!And finally, your intrepid hosts discuss WHATCHA WATCHIN'???, a segment about whatch they watchin'. Spoiler alert: Lindy is watching Shogun and Meagan is watching true crime slop. But thank god for the slop, because Meagan has uncovered evidence suggesting that Keith THEE Morrison is not only a superfan of this podcast but subscribes to the Patreon as well. Delusional?

What a day! Lindy delivers some hot hot hot breaking news: she's become a flat earther, for real, not a joke*, and you won't BELIEVE what finally pushed her over the edge, so to speak. (It involves one Instagram reel, two mysterious travelers, and an unconfirmed number of dragons.) Then, Meagan updates us on her DC swamp life in a new segment called "Oops, I Crapped My Real Job!" Find out what Meagan *personally* is doing to punish Justice Samuel Alito for being a naughty boy, featuring her Mean Mommy Business Voice on the mic at a bona fide press conference with real live congresspeoples! She got 'em! This is why she's so sleepy all the time!And lastly, Meagan and Lindy dispense trivial advice to listeners struggling with low-stakes problems. Nothing important, nothing stressful!

This week, something has gone wrong with Meagan's brain and it's NOT a worm! It has something to do finding an Amish dog named Kevin online, becoming hypnotized by his tiny bear face, then entering a fugue state and traveling to his location in Lancaster, PA with $850 in cash and the backing of literally dozens of listeners to purchase him. Is this an ethical way to acquire a dog? No. Was Kevin worth it? 100000%.Then, Lindy -- a connoisseur of oceanic news -- brings an aquatic story of great significance from one of our Nation's most trustworthy journalistic sources: Instagram reels. This story has everything: an air guitar contest, one or two chill brewskis at most, a man overboard, a creature of some kind, and a stick. Lindy and Meagan ponder what they'd do under similar harrowing circumstances, then rank sticks from worst to best.You won't want to miss this episode!

In this week's episode, Lindy reveals that her neighborhood bear is BACK, and his threat level has been upgraded to "habituated trash bear." No pic-a-nic basket is safe! Lindy also breaks her silence on a secret she's been keeping about the band Imagine Dragons, and Meagan finally addresses the elephant in the room: does Lindy... not listen to music?????Meagan reaches into the mailbag and shares an unhinged yet joyful letter (found by a listener) about public diarrhea and not quite making it to the Dairy Queen in time, which gets the gals reminiscing about college.Then it's a hard look inside the biggest story of the week, which is OF COURSE the worm that ate part of RFK Jr.'s brain and then died. Should the presidency have a No Brain Worms policy, or is that an ableist purity test? Is getting a brain worm the first likable thing about this man? Lindy and Meagan discuss!And finally, two big announcements for our Patreon subscribers! First, that Lindy and Meagan are going to let you pick their best-friends tattoo, literally.

Meagan and Lindy trick Guy into giving up the goods on every single celebrity encounter he has ever had, including a drunken cab ride with a freestyle-rapping Zac Efron and a personal betrayal by the hottest gay in Hollywood. Then, Meagan and Guy turn their legal and comedic mega-minds to the most vital task in the war to save American Democracy: coming up with Real Housewives taglines for all nine members of the Supreme Court.

In this week's episode, Lindy and Meagan once again trick themselves into maybe becoming Christians?? Because Divine Providence has once again struck the podcast as holy connections are made between pubes, German composer George Frideric Handel, and the Text Me Backolytes who love them.Alas, Lindy and Meagan quickly dispense with beatification and instead turn to necromancy -- bringing back two old segments from the dead: "I Can Fix Her," a segment about purchasing little items that will fix your whole life, and "One Minute Hate," a segment about all the shit we hate, from Bobby Flay to shrimp, with an assist from our beloved listeners!Enjoy, besties!⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩⋆｡°If you like this episode and want us to keep making the show forever, please subscribe to our Patreon.

Hi Besties! On this week's episode, Lindy apologizes for immediately failing at being a YouTuber, and Meagan brings sad news about a beloved Text Me Backolyte from the animal kingdom -- that's right, Lindy and Meagan are mourning the loss of the beautiful, enormous snake queen of the Amazon we grew to love, our beloved Freekaconda. Did she die of natural causes? Or were more nefarious forces at play here? Also, Lindy shares a horrifying and yet ultimately heartwarming tale involving deer entrails, poachers, befriending stoic woodspeople, and the power of WOODS JUSTICE. And GUESS WHAT? We solve the mystery of the creepy Heather & Mark love (??) letter with the help of our in-house show detective, Rafil Kroll-Zaidi.

When Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, my heart dropped, and I wasn't alone. Millions of women who have marched, organized, and donated saw their civil rights being swept away from our current administration by the recommendation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Women's health is not the only issue in grave danger if Kavanaugh gets the seat. Immigration, LGTBQ rights, and almost every facet of American life will be affected. We're being told Kavanaugh is a foregone conclusion. What you will hear in this show is that IT IS NOT. But we need your help. Please listen to and share this episode featuring the Los Angeles stop on the Rise Up For Roe Tour. The arguments that this is the most important issue, and we can win are compelling.
