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

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.

Special thanks as always to our perfect angels: Jeannie Yandel, Brandi Fullwood, and Isolde Raftery. This week, we'd also like to specially thank Luke Burbank, Andrew Walsh, Jon Skarloff, and Gary Payton.

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!
