First on the agenda, we are rage-baiting the Brits. You think the best of Wisconsin and Kentucky couldn’t keep up with lads out on a foggy London night?

Angry British people, please direct your complaints to [email protected].

We are also talking about the AI plot against Meagan. Seems unlikely that MHM would make a mistake three separate times in a row…AI overlords, you listening buds? Why are you trying to bring down your loyal minions over here at Text Me Back Podcast?

Plus, Meagan brings us Tiktok Digest, featuring the one and only Keke Palmer and Raven-Symoné. Keke if you’re looking for a place to say weird things, please do leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.

And 🚨NEW SEGMENT ALERTTTT 🚨

We want to know all about your random celebrity encounters! You don’t HAVE to be Keke Palmer to leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone, although it’d be better if you were. Call or text us at (703) 829-0003.

Want to revisit our bore worm ep? So do we!!! It’ll probably have to be a job for the ole Textmebackolytes over on the discord — connect with those good folks via patreon.com/textmebackpod

Guest what Textmebackolytes…we’re ONE WEEK AWAY from new episodes and new unhinged content, bad ideas, and broken brains. We miss you weirdos!! We need 7 more days to pull ourselves together and apply our lace front beard wigs. So today we are re-airing one of our favorite eps featuring the INCREDIBLE Franchesca Ramsey.

Franchesca’s presence punctures one of the central tenets of Text Me Back - for SHE has a podcast called (Lemme Fix it!) AND she is also the iconic host of Webby nominated series We Were All Rooting for You. We have people looking into this, but initial reporting suggests that there may be other podcasts apart from Text Me Back. Seems suspicious, but we will circle back when we know more.

And we’re talking about our TOP CELEBRITY BEEFS. You’ll never guess who we have called out, betrayed, and been blocked by. Thomas Lennon, follow Lindy again if you forgive us!! Sorry we didn’t like that one movie you were in, buddy!!! And because we’re talking about internet psychos, that naturally brings us to Tyra Banks, America’s Next Top Model, and Jake and Logan Paul.

TEXT ME BACK is a comedy podcast where Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays spiral about politics, pop culture, dogs, space, friendship, anxiety, Lord of the Rings, and whatever cursed topic is haunting them that week. Along the way, they’ve welcomed brilliant and hilarious guests including Lizz Winstead (The Daily Show), Kelsey McKinney (Normal Gossip), Samantha Irby (We Are Never Meeting in Real Life), Guy Branum (Hacks), collaborators, comedians, political experts, writers, and internet icons for deeply unserious conversations.
