Bestselling writer Lindy West and democracy policy expert Meagan Hatcher-Mays are two Award-Winning Best Friends From High School (Most Likely To Make You Laugh in their high school senior poll - sorry to intimidate you!). Each week, Lindy and Meagan hilariously digest what’s going on in the news, their lives and their text threads with their singular combination of political smarts, embarrassing sincerity, and a truly concerning level of investment in pop culture. Text Me Back is a podcast about best friendship and making your favorite people laugh, even when this dumpster fire of a world gets you down.

    Lindy and Meagan are Pumping Your Nads (Politically)

    This week, Meagan is processing last week’s spectacular Seattle Mariners loss to the ToronTOE Blue Jays. Thank you to all our listeners who attended Meagan’s pity party, gifting her nothing but kindness. We also got an incredible write-in from friend of the show Cailin!! Thank you for your corroborating evidence that Meagan was among the Most Insp.! And if you’re former coach Brian, we’re waiting on you to write in, you coward, we KNOW you’re listening!!!!! We’re standing by our phone waiting for your call (703) 829-0003. And on deck (baseball term) is Lindy’s Rebuilding Year! And many people may be wondering: why Lindy look more demolished? Why worse? It’s actually quite simple. It’s because she is adopting the NBA calendar year, of course! Yes, LRY might have started in January 2025, but it ends in June 2026, actually!!!! One year = two years, DUH.  We’re also treated to an impromptu update on 🎀 Meagan’s Journey 🎀! It’s about Happy Gilmore 2, and – literal spoiler alert – we DO include spoilers. It does beg the earnest question: Adam Sandler funny? Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com. Finally, in our longest ever post-“whelll” outro, we offer you radical community and prolonged screaming in political solidarity.

    Lindy and Meagan are Decrepit Zombie Salmon

    Did you hear what they were talking about on Text Me Back this week?? They spent 45 minutes on bloody diarrhea, 45 minutes on obscure Seattle mascots, and an hour and half on walking downhill!! And in our tidings…Lindy gives us the latest on Barry, who is fine, probably! Pre-order Adult Braces now! Most of those dollars will go to Barry’s $4500 vet bill!!!! And in other news, the rumor is that Meagan’s hat had nothing to do with the Seattle Mariners losing the ALCS??? Or is she SOLELY responsible for their loss? Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com. And if you can go back in time and call in, PLEASE let Meagan know the results of games 5, 6, and 7 so she can begin her healing process 🙏 And along the way we’re going into some deep-cut Seattle lore. See below for more details: Dave Matthews, if you want to fight us for your right to call Seattle your home, meet us behind the pitchers mound at dawn.Macklemore, we’re sorry for bullying you, but also if you want to fight, meet us outside of MOHAI at midnight.And Mortimer the Moose…you don’t even GO here!Wheedle on the Needle, you’re our only baby boy! We miss you! Give us a call at (703) 829-0003. And we also hit a Whatcha Watchin’ where we talk about Rebel Royals. We’re team Shaman Durek?? Shaman Durek do you want to hang out or?????

We know it’s spooky season, but let us talk about this Christmas song real quick, okay? Don’t worry, later in the ep we talk about Jeepers Creepers in Meagan’s Tiktok Digest (call to our Jingleheimers and Kingleheimers!) so you’ll get your scary fix. Mara from Tiktok…we’re praying for u. Plus, we’re taking a long overdue check-in with Lindy’s Rebuilding Year! Don’t forget to pre-order Lindy’s book Adult Braces and personally affirm her brain function!

About

Bestselling writer Lindy West and democracy policy expert Meagan Hatcher-Mays are two Award-Winning Best Friends From High School (Most Likely To Make You Laugh in their high school senior poll - sorry to intimidate you!). Each week, Lindy and Meagan hilariously digest what’s going on in the news, their lives and their text threads with their singular combination of political smarts, embarrassing sincerity, and a truly concerning level of investment in pop culture. Text Me Back is a podcast about best friendship and making your favorite people laugh, even when this dumpster fire of a world gets you down.
