This week on Text Me Back!, Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays get deep and personal about living in the woods and Christian Girl Autumn. Then, Lindy digs up every kernel of fact about Iowa. Yes, we're talking about Iowa again! And why is everything we need to make our lives better a grout cleaner and a pebble ice machine?

Got questions for Meagan about the baffling inner workings of our democracy? Or for Lindy about snakes? Got a friendship dilemma that could use the insight of two Award-Winning Best Friends? We're here for you! Text B-F-F to 206-926-9955 to join the Text Me Back Text Club.

I(owa) Can Fix Her

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.

Comedy

This week, Lindy becomes a flat earther for real, Meagan literally holds a press conference about Justice Samuel Alito's stinky ass, and they dispense trivial advice about non-urgent problems.

Lindy and Meagan Imagine Dragons Beyond the Flat Earth Ice Wall

This week, something has gone wrong with Meagan's brain and it's NOT a worm! Later, Lindy and Meagan ponder how they'd defeat some kind of oceanic creature if given the opportunity, and rank their favorite sticks.

Lindy and Meagan Need to Talk About Kevin

Lindy fights a bear, Meagan reads a letter about a toilet emergency, and both consider voting for RFK's brain worm.

Lindy and Meagan Agree: RFK Jr.'s Brain Worm Is NOT a Girls' Girl!

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!

Lindy and Meagan Demand Hollywood Secrets from Guy Branum (Live!)

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!
