Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays Meagan & Lindy

In this week's episode, Lindy and Meagan are comin' atcha LIVE from the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival with a very special celebrity guest: actor, comedian, girls' girl, Hollywoodlandman, and kind of a lawyer(!!!), Guy Branum!
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. Got 'em! Which justice does Guy declare to be a "messy bitch"? You'll have to listen to find out!
Hope you love it, besties!

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!

Hi Besties! It's here, the crossover episode the streets have been CLAMORING FOR! Sure, it was the streets of Longview, Washington, but the clamoring happened. We heard it.
...Anyway, this week Meagan and Lindy join forces with our besties Luke and Andrew from Too Beautiful to Live! We form a supergroup (eat it, Vedder!!!!!), fall victim to aesthetic pots and pans, catch an enormous spider, and ultimately get arrested for refusing to pay the barber at the Great Clips.

When the Best Friend Party Phone rings, Lindy and Meagan ANSWER. This week, we hear FROM YOU, our beloved Text Me Backolytes, with stories about the historical figures who make up the very Mount Rushmore of Text Me Back: a squirrel skull, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and a horny ghost. We also introduce two very special new songs to the lore, including one from literal famous person -- and Lindy's former college classmate -- Robert.
Most importantly, we both experience a pretty significant mental breakdown somewhere in the middle of segment one, so you won't want to miss that, AND Lindy and Meagan take a moment to walk down memory lane, which is located somewhere near the Edinburgh TGIFridays.

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. His new essay, "The Branson Pilgrim," will be available at this link on April 15, 2024. And not a moment sooner!
