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

Hello faithful Text Me Backolytes and welcome new listeners (we’re sorry in advance to newbies! You could not have chosen a more wild starting place, but you’ll catch on fast!). Today Lindy and Meagan kick off with a humble but necessary installment of Department of Corrections: Peter Edition. Apparently one of these colonizing yahoos from last week did, in fact, step foot in Washington State–but don’t worry, we’ve decided to make that one a bonus Q so you can still graduate 8th grade. But the question remains: WHICH Peter from last week is the lucky boy to bless this mess? Tune in to find out. Then it’s straight into Dog Thoughts, where we learn that Barry is a secret alpha?? You been listening to Joe Rogan, Bar???? Apparently, our gentle copper king does toxic male behavior at a public gathering and no amount of bully sticks–with or without Lindy’s signature flavoring–can calm him down. Meanwhile, back at the Pennsylvanian Dutch Farm that is Meagan’s condo, Kevin screams at ghosts in the living room. The vibes are unwell. And finally, the most Normalest News: Dire wolves have a moment in the sun before the reality of the situation is understood (GMO wolves are a little less cool to market than Dire Wolves so we don’t NOT get it, but girl we need healthcare so can we focus, or????). And to round out our Normal News segment, Meagan brings us intel that people are body-shaming a mascot. SO NORMAL. Ellie the Elephant, we love you and you owe us NOTHING besides several headstands, fierce braid swings, and a liberal twerking of that ass on that court. And our 95%ers are in for a treat at the end where Lindy offers an unsolicited rotation of impersonations!!!!! You literally do not have to stick around and we’re flummoxed every time you do! NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE? HERE IS YOUR STARTER KIT TO BEING BFFS WITH US! Learn what they ACTUALLY put in bully sticks in Lindy and Meagan Start a Wikifeet Retirement Plan !

If you thought Lindy’s train adventure was an unhinged delight YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. This week it’s Meagan who hits the dusty trail on a trek from Washington, (District of Columbia) to Washington (State). Meagan bravely Dale Coopers her whole ass off with that tiny influencer mic. Along the way she endures a mid-flight beef with her evil auntie doppelganger, being bullied by her brother, and a fight for her life over a Caesar salad. And not to brag but some pretty good stuff happens along the way too. Meagan learns what the youth are into (Fortnite). We get to hear from iconic BFFs Ingrid and Ella and learn the true meaning of lifelong friendship (matching outfits). And Lindy and Meagan solve a decades-old mystery of The Killer on the Burke Gilman trail (hello, young man 🔪) You know what they say about Text Me Back Podcast: Come for the skin tags, stay for the Caesar salad!!!! 😵💫🫠😎 NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?

Lindy is running on the fumes of borrowed youth, and Meagan is one (1) glass of wine deep. This is the opposite of a Magic Mind episode where we’re cool collected cucumbers and we’re calling it Tipsy Back Podcast ! Lindy brings tidings from the So True Hype House, where Lindy desperately tries to impress her young comedy crushes, starts a group chat she may or may not be kicked out of, and endures a self-imposed spiral of rarely-seen proportions. Next…we asked and you delivered, friends! Ghost grandpas, sweaty side-hugging men offering some armchair psychiatry, and the CREEPIEST sandbar cult man we’ve ever heard of 😱Thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us! Never stop texting and calling us (703) 829-0003 And be sure to stay to the end for a bonus anecdote from Meagan!!!! The average listener completes 96%+ of an episode?? You’re OBSESSED with us?????

'Cause you know, life is grim under such a soggy-nugget-dictator, and while no single piece of creativity is the sole antidote for such bleakness, if I stack this with other art, and humor, and books, and dogs- well, the gloom becomes more manageable.

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

Welcome to another classic episode of Text Me Back, where Lindy and Meagan, two self-appointed kings, tackle the most pressing issues of our time. See agenda below: FIRST AGENDA ITEM: Buggies. Meagan bullies a neighbor by sending another round of live bugs to a stranger’s building. And friends…there is potentially a third round of bugs en route. The only real downside is that this is accidental bullying and Meagan may have to leave the D.C. area :/ NEXT UP: We’re checking in on Lindy’s Rebuilding Year! Wikifeet Update: We Don’t Feel Safe!!! And to the person who uploaded 72 photos of Lindy’s feet…thank you? We think?? Either way the score has CHANGED. Tune in to see what Lindy’s rating is now! Are you a Wikifeet growth hacker?

This week we continue a-milkin’ that New York cow! Um, excuse us? We are walking here. Meagan and Lindy make a brave break from their cozy hotel room into the NYC winter night to watch Drag Race at a local bar/mystery tent and meet THE Thorgy Thor camping out in there! Somebody go back in time, call our elder care facility, and tell them to bring us a knit blanket! Have you ever experienced a winter chill? DM us Y/N @textmebackpod And next, we add a sexy twist to our age-old Segment P.U.B.E.S. This week we’re calling it Segment P.U.B.E.S.: Crazy Lady Living in a Bag. Two guesses as to who the crazy ladies are. Won’t you join us in our bag? Tbh we get a little real here because it’s BAD out there, and the badness is all by design. (Check out Meagan’s latest installment of SWAMP PERSON for more thoughts on “What are you allowed to be mad about?”) And ultimately we’re gonna have to make room for more crazy ladies in our bag. We’ll shove aside the orange peels, used tissues, old receipts, and empty hand sanitizer bottles to welcome in anyone who wants to fight alongside us for something better–and we’re going to do our best to give them one of our crumbled cookies to welcome them in. If we’re gonna turn the tides of fascism, it’ll be with the help of misguided voters AND at least one annoying guy with a rinky-dink sign. We wanna know what you’re mad about and what you’re doing to resist! Email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com . Finally, a plea to the Text Me Backolytes: bring back the ghosts! Lindy and Meagan demand more supernatural content, and the listeners must deliver. Call in with your spookiest ghost encounters (or just a story about a scary man in a car, that counts too). Leave us a voicemail at (703) 829-0003. NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE? HERE IS YOUR STARTER KIT TO BEING BFFS WITH US! Check out last week’s train episode Lindy and Meagan Choo Choo Choose Chaos !

Listen, we wish we had all the land, energy, and fertilizer in the world to start a commune in the woods with many many donkeys! We wish we could find an abandoned boxcar and ride the rails into the sunset forever and ever!

Who’s ready to laugh? 🫠 Last week a Bad Thing happened. But never fear! This week of healing started off strong with Lindy and Meagan heading to Portland for another sensational live show at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts ! And you simply cannot pull off a live comedy show without visiting the Pacific Northwest’s own Red Robin! YUM! Where are our Bonsai Burger heads at? And it just keeps getting better! Lindy and Meagan are joined onstage by Emmy-award winning comedian and writer Guy Branum and Oregon Speaker of the House Julie Fahey! We play not one but TWO FMK-style games because our brains don’t work well enough to think of anything else! First, we punish those who we think are responsible for Tr*mp’s victory -- who is cursed with seeing Lyndon B. Johnson’s phantom hog every morning? Who gets listeria from unregulated Lean Cuisine? Then, we ask Speaker Fahey which state and local policies she would Eff, Marry, or Veto. Watch your back, sales tax! All in all, this episode is equal parts dissociated nonsense and political encouragement. How are you all hanging in there? We earnestly want to know what’s making you feel okay!

Oh how sweet and innocent we were when we recorded this ep one whole week before Election Day! Oh to be doubled up on Zoloft on this day! When we recorded this episode, we envisioned a world where it might be possible to ever feel comfortable and cozy again. That’s why we brought you our annual Cozy Recs, complete with eggnog (or milk-based alternatives), oversized hoodies, and the famous cozy game you know and love: SMDDRFFAD! Does that help?? Is coziness possible? In any event, we hope you enjoy the only show on air brave enough to encourage you to replace all your blood with the sand of a weighted blanket. We’re going to need a lot of sand. On a serious note, we’re a little scared. We hope this podcast can continue to be a light for you as our world darkens.

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).

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 deartextmeback@gmail.com! 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!

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!

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: 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!

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!

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.

You want to know where your dollars are going. Well, Sharks, we hear you, and that’s why this week we’re giving you a little sneak peek at Lindy and Meagan’s Patreon exclusive series 2 Shrill 2 Furious: Portland Drift! Lindy and Meagan dive deep into the chaotic, hilarious, and often absurd process of turning Lindy’s book, Shrill, into a hit TV show. From fast-tracking to series and rubbing elbows with Elizabeth “Liz” Banks to nearly losing Aidy Bryant over a lead character that was a bit too "disgusting," Lindy spills all the behind-the-scenes tea. Learn how Hollywood really works—or doesn’t—and why it’s just as glam, stressful, and utterly bizarre as you’ve always imagined. If you haven’t already, check out Lindy’s book, Shrill ! Join us on our (re)watch journey! Watch Shrill on Hulu and be sure to be texting us your every thought on the Best Friend Party Phone (703) 829-0003.

This week is a grab bag special, which is a euphemism for “we forgot to plan anything for this episode,” and our hands are pulling out a special little treat from the archives. That’s right, it’s a stumble down memory lane where Lindy and Meagan talk about one of their early jobs working at Paul Allen’s musical history storage facility, Seattle’s Experience Music Project (now MoPOP). From the multi-sensory (🥴) Funk Blast ride to the soul-crushing reality of handing out malfunctioning MEGs to tourists, they leave no stone unturned. Surprise mentions include Rufio, Madonna (aka Cyndi Lauper), Ren-Faire Guy, a James Brown Face/Off moment, and the origin story of our famed Dr. Freekvonk music! Anyway, work sucks! If you are a teen or early-twenties worker, do the bare minimum and skip your last day! You can still be a lawyer and a writer, nothing real bad will happen, probably. Tell us ALL ABOUT your early employment stories at (703) 829-0003. Share your Stardew Valley updates with us by DMing us on IG @textmebackpod! Are you a former EMP/MoPOP employee OR James Brown’s body double and do you have access to those wretched Sky Church videos? PLEASE email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com !

This week Lindy kicks us off with an unforgettable Dave Matthews tribute, but don’t let that stop you from staying tuned, it doesn’t last that long! We have SO many segments today (3). First, we kick off with segment P.U.B.E.S, which is quickly becoming dedicated to our own biffs, blunders, and bad ethics, and this week we actually do include a hit of that sweet sweet Socrates music after Alli PERSONALLY raked the internet to find what she hopes is a worthy nostalgic little riff (sorry for leaving you hanging, sweet bbs! 🤖) Next, we round the corner to deliver a Snake News segment we rustled up specifically because listener Caitlin & Husband FINALLY submitted a Snake of the Week jingle! You simply cannot miss it because we are going to be leaning on that audio cue heavily moving forward. And lastly but most importantly, the industry has spoken and they have determined Lindy’s podcast guesting rate to be a firm $3000-$10,000 per appearance. If you are Colin Cowherd, confirm Lindy’s upcoming appearance via the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003. Also, Meagan was pretty confident she knew what Colin Cowherd’s whole deal was but now is NOT sure he’s a weird woke mind virus guy. Sorry? Did you stick around to hear the secret code word?

You know them from being blacklisted from the Bulgarian podcast charts. You know them from leading the boards in Estonia. And third most likely, you know them from their podcast Too Beautiful to Live! This week Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays sit down with Luke Burbank and Andrew Walsh for round two of their crossover series, and Lindy did NOT have to frantically Google their names and bios during the recording this time. Our tidings are full of bad pans and youth-infested homes. Lindy’s deep dive into her daughter’s weekend stay at their cabin leads to a detective-worthy investigation, while Meagan’s love for the Olympics turns her into a proud violently patriotic American 🔪🦅🇺🇲. The crew talks about strong feelings about Celine Dion, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Theo Von. They try to play a game. BUT THEN, some breaking news: Lindy lives in the light with a brave admission that it was she that left behind a surprise for her elegant guest to find, which quite frankly will probably be the only thing you remember about this episode. Love Logan and Arnold as much as we do? Listen to more of Too Beautiful to Live on Apple Podcasts Do you have a sticky pan you need lubricated?

This week, Lindy and Meagan kick things off with a bang as they officially claim the title of BBWs (Better Business Women)! They’ve been eating nothing but thick cheesy soups like Forbes or something recommended and they’re ready to share their big juicy half-researched headlines as they hustle their way to the tippy top of the podcasting world. Forbes: 50 BBWs Under 50 here we come! But first! It’s time for Segment P.U.B.E.S., aka corrections, updates, and apologies. Lindy fesses up to some major Pete the Dragon libel, but there are plenty of P.U.B.E.S. to go around so don’t hesitate to share your very own P.U.B.E.S. with us on the Best Friend Party Phone at (703) 829-0003. Next up! Lindy and Meagan take notes from a couple other BBWs and their impressive PR teams. Our enigmatic Charlotte the Stingray has an unexpected ending but her mysterious pregnancy legacy lives on in the form of a Brazilian boa who lived for 9 years as a single man named Ronaldo and who recently gave birth to 14 snakes. That’s right–snake moms can be BBWs too. The show desperately needs a Snake of the Week jingle, so kindly send your genius little compositions over to our email deartextmeback@gmail.com. And finally, Lindy and Meagan dive into a topic many of our parasocial BFFS out there have been asking for: more friendship lore from the Lindy-Meagan archives. As a devoted listener, you are invited to use our weirdly specific movie quotes to confuse and alienate your very own friends and family! Happy slurpee day! If you’re 7/11 and want to sponsor two BBWs, DM us on IG and Tiktok @textmebackpod From NPR: Charlotte the stingray, the would-be mom, has died at her N.C. aquarium From a random potentially unverified source: 'Ronaldo had been looking slightly fatter than usual': Snake thought to be male has 14 babies in rare 'virgin birth' ⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。° If you like this episode and want us to keep making the show forever, please subscribe to our Patreon.

It’s a little something with a big story to tell, it’s the must-have accessory for your high A1C, it’s an ear worm even mightier than the one in RFK Jr.'s brain. It’s the Jardiance jingle, and in case you were wondering: yes, we play it in its entirety. If YOU are a husband who listens to the show, we want to hear from your wife!

This week's episode is hot hot hot—literally and figuratively. We’ve got a special guest! Our personal hero Lizz Winstead, who's been making waves in comedy and politics for decades. And Lindy does NOT make it weird. One dragon question per guest IS normal. Lizz Winstead is the co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, co-founder of Air America Radio, and current powerhouse behind Abortion Access Front. Lizz dishes on her storied career, shares tales from the front lines of abortion access activism, and gives us the scoop on her latest project—the documentary No One Asked You, currently making rounds at film festivals (our Provincetown listeners need to go to the screening literally today!). We wrap up with a revealing game of F.M.K.I.H.B.F.D.T.S (the famous game you know and love) involving some of our favorite and most dangerous political villains. Tune in to hear how Lizz weaponizes karaoke and Freaky Friday mind swaps for the good.

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

This week, Lindy and Meagan both realize that they've been having thoughts about dogs, which we're sharing in a new segment called DOG THOUGHTS. What if dogs could sweat? And what, exactly, is the nature of a dog's business? Then, we have a story from the Best Friend Party Phone about a piece of fan mail gone horribly wrong--a seemingly innocent letter traumatized a room full of fourth graders, teaching them the hard way that the Killer is real and he lurks everywhere. Even in your homework assignments. Lindy and Meagan go on to reminisce about their own experiences bothering celebrities in the 1990s, including one of the most legendary moments from their friendship lore: the time they met their late-night talk show host hero. Tune in to find out how much they scared him! And finally, your intrepid hosts discuss WHATCHA WATCHIN'???, a segment about whatch they watchin'. Spoiler alert: Lindy is watching Shogun and Meagan is watching true crime slop. But thank god for the slop, because Meagan has uncovered evidence suggesting that Keith THEE Morrison is not only a superfan of this podcast but subscribes to the Patreon as well. Delusional? You be the judge. ⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。° If you like this episode and want us to keep making the show forever, please subscribe to our Patreon.

What a day! Lindy delivers some hot hot hot breaking news: she's become a flat earther, for real, not a joke*, and you won't BELIEVE what finally pushed her over the edge, so to speak. (It involves one Instagram reel, two mysterious travelers, and an unconfirmed number of dragons.) Then, Meagan updates us on her DC swamp life in a new segment called "Oops, I Crapped My Real Job!" Find out what Meagan *personally* is doing to punish Justice Samuel Alito for being a naughty boy, featuring her Mean Mommy Business Voice on the mic at a bona fide press conference with real live congresspeoples! She got 'em! This is why she's so sleepy all the time! And lastly, Meagan and Lindy dispense trivial advice to listeners struggling with low-stakes problems. Nothing important, nothing stressful! Please don't ask for advice on your divorce, but they will tell you what color notebook to get! Is this both the funniest AND the most informative Text Me Back of all time? There's no way to know unless you download it and listen to the whole thing all the way through twice! *It is a joke ⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。° If you like this episode and want us to keep making the show forever, please subscribe to our Patreon.

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

This week, something has gone wrong with Meagan's brain and it's NOT a worm! It has something to do with finding an Amish dog named Kevin online, becoming hypnotized by his tiny bear face, then entering a fugue state and traveling to his location in Lancaster, PA with $850 in cash and the backing of literally dozens of listeners to purchase him. Is this an ethical way to acquire a dog? No. Was Kevin worth it? 100000%. Then, Lindy -- a connoisseur of oceanic news -- brings an aquatic story of great significance from one of our Nation's most trustworthy journalistic sources: Instagram reels. This story has everything: an air guitar contest, one or two chill brewskis at most, a man overboard, a creature of some kind, and a stick. Lindy and Meagan ponder what they'd do under similar harrowing circumstances, then rank sticks from worst to best. You won't want to miss this episode! We've already sent it to the Library of Congress for preservation! ⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。°✩⋆。° If you like this episode and want us to keep making the show forever, please subscribe to our Patreon.

In this week's episode, Lindy reveals that her neighborhood bear is BACK, and his threat level has been upgraded to "habituated trash bear." No pic-a-nic basket is safe! Lindy also breaks her silence on a secret she's been keeping about the band Imagine Dragons, and Meagan finally addresses the elephant in the room: does Lindy... not listen to music????? Meagan reaches into the mailbag and shares an unhinged yet joyful letter (found by a listener) about public diarrhea and not quite making it to the Dairy Queen in time, which gets the gals reminiscing about college. Then it's a hard look inside the biggest story of the week, which is OF COURSE the worm that ate part of RFK Jr.'s brain and then died. Should the presidency have a No Brain Worms policy, or is that an ableist purity test? Is getting a brain worm the first likable thing about this man? Lindy and Meagan discuss! And finally, two big announcements for our Patreon subscribers! First, that Lindy and Meagan are going to let you pick their best-friends tattoo, literally. And second, that they'll be posting an episode-by-episode subscribers-only rewatch of Shrill ! Listen for more info and subscribe if you want access to all the fun. Hope you love it, besties!

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.
