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

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?? 😱 What could be scarier?

Coming off the breathtaking success of our live show at the Seattle Py00blic Library, we’re back with tidings, P.U.B.E.S., and MAGA numerology (PLEASE hug your teenage sons!!). 

And we round out the episode with a new segment we’re calling “Corny Tyme”! Guess what dark forces of authoritarianism: We’re voting! We want you to choose your vehicle for change. We want you to stay connected and make a difference. We care. 👉👈 And we earnestly love recording this podcast! Thank you for listening, for sending in tattoo designs, for tickling our funny bones in the Discord, and for supporting our show!

This week, we’re LIVE from the Seattle Public Library! We have THREE special guests who we put to the test with a series of silly little games as well as high stakes political questions.

But first, tidings! And headlining this round of tidings is sharing the winner of our tattoo contest!!! Special shoutout to those of you who submitted this winning idea -- there were five of you! -- we’ll reach out soon to make sure you get your prize. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @textmebackpod to check out this perfect design and thank you to everyone who shared their cute, hot, and beautiful tattoo ideas, we <3333 u. (And if you want to get your very own amazing tattoo, check out our artist Laurenn Stipes at BLVEDOVE Tattoo on Instagram!)

Next, we play a game of FMKDSHFWM with special guest Mariesa Bus! Find out which book this library professional would marry, which book she would like to do karaoke with, and which book she would thoughtfully eject from the library based on its merits. Feel free to play along and tell us which book you would lust after or tastefully burn! Our discord was made for this – join us over at patreon.com/TextMeBackPod to tell us your thoughts.

And then we have a NEWS QUIZ segment! We bring on Seattle Times columnist Naomi Ishisaka and comic Brett Hamil (who honestly grounds this episode–that’s how real things are getting this political climate). These two go toe-to-toe with Lindy and Meagan as they all aim to buzz in correct answers on local and national political newsy-type questions, AND/OR tickle the whimsy of the audience for the prize of a half-eaten bag of candy from Candy Tyme in Westlake Center 💫

All this AND MORE. Tune in, tell us you love us, and let us know where we should do a live show next!

Special thanks to Paris Jackson from Cascade PBS for moderating this event, and thank you to the Seattle Public Library for hosting! A worthy reminder about how cool those places are. Libraries do all sorts of cool things, so go support your own local library! And solidarity to the Cascade PBS Union organizers! We hope you get a fair contract soon. 

STUFF TO CHECK OUT:

• REGISTER TO VOTE at https://vote.gov/
• Borrow The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store from your local library like Mariesa, and if you’re in the Tacoma area attend the author’s reading on Nov. 1!
• Join our No-Giggle Pledge and donate to the Harris-Walz campaign

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 [email protected]!

Are you gonna watch Chimp Crazy?? Text us your every thought via the Best Friend Party Phone (703) 829-0003.

Do you like us? Then LIKE us, why dontcha! Give us a like + little share on socials @textmebackpod, and give us an accolade and five stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

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! Send us one, won’t you? [email protected]!

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: 

1. If you like our stuff, share a post or a clippy clip of ours around why dontcha? It’s like telling a friend, but telling all of your friends at ONCE. Don’t forget to center the male experience as you share! We're on Instagram at @textmebackpod!
2. Rate our show on Apple Podcasts—5 stars and some nice accolades helps us out a ton and tells new listeners that we’re big big stars worth listening to! You can also rate us on Spotify ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
3. Join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/TextMeBackPod
4. Give us a mystery to solve! Email us at [email protected]!

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 [email protected] and come be a guest on our pod! Thank you to Textmebackolyte Jacqueline (and HUSBAND) for this incredible Ottawa Comic Con reporting 🫶

And Meagan hasn’t seen her hospital bill yet, so now is a great time to join our Patreon!!! https://www.patreon.com/TextMeBackPod 

Sincerely, thank you to all the kind words for Meagan this past week! Don’t let her being totally okay now stop you from saying nice stuff to us over at the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003.

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 💅* we have to respect it, but luckily we had a pre-recorded segment brought to you by Magic Mind, an elixir that helps make brain from brainestrone. We also talk about a couple other products on our radar and we do need your thoughts.

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. Your messages are the IV drips into our period-depleted arms so please never stop sending things to (703) 829-0003.

Poll time! DM @textmebackpod on IG to tell us which is the worst: 

-Sick Puppy

-Fart Mommy

-Dirty Mama

If you must, email us at [email protected] to send us your cogent, sober explanation correlating orange beef x chocolate milk :[

Hello, my babies, hello my darlins! This episode has UPDATES. This episode has IMPROV (husbands edition). This episode has mention of POLITICAL ACTIVISM IMBUED WITH HOPE?? 

In our first segment, we share an epic cover letter from a listener who might just be the ultimate D&D companion, even if the gang hasn’t quite figured out how or when they’ll play. Thank you for your endless support as we become DMs, which we assume means Dirty Mamas ;) but in the meantime we want you all to join our Discord and play amongst yourselves–and share your characters with us at [email protected]!

And in our second segment, we send off RFK Jr.’s unforgettable campaign. Brain worms, cruises, and bears. Oh…oh my. If you are Cheryl Hines, we are desperate to hear from you, babe, let us know you’re okay at (703) 829-0003.
