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

Welcome to our BICENTENNIAL (??) EPISODE!In this famous Text Me Back episode you will experience the feeling of aging two years in just 75 minutes! We start off strong with a We Done Done It Again (Dept. of Corrections) where we humbly correct the record to share that Jeff Merkley (of Senatorial fame) stood BY HIS OWN POWER NONSTOP for 22 hours. We got it twisted, and we generally advise against that! And since Text Me Back is your go-to political podcast, Lindy quizzes herself LIVE! How many US Senators can YOU name? Sporcle, SPONSOR US we are driving dozens of people to your hyperspecific quizzes!!!! (Clue: Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are NOT currently US Senators). Since it’s our two-year anniversary, we bring you a Normal News/Meagan’s TikTok digest, AND Lindy’s surprise Microsegment (btw if you are CEO of Ruffles…what did you do to that chip and WHY?). Plus, Lindy coins a new tag for the show, begging the question: What’s YOUR favorite bit and/or shit from Text Me Back Podcast? Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com or give us a call at (703) 829-0003.And finally, in a rare moment of sincerity, we conclude by setting aside our Tom and Jerry dynamic momentarily and getting earnest. BFFs being nice to each other?? Is that even legal???? BIG THANK YOU to all of our Patrons and supporters who have allowed us to remain a sovereign podcast. We love our people on the discord, we love our Jingleheimers and Kingleheimers, and everyone who has helped us start and maintain this show.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING THE JOE ROGAN OF THE LEFT. That’s what they’re saying! Hello and welcome back to Text Me Back Podcast, the ONLY podcast with a segment called JEFF.This week’s Jeff: Famously good-humored U.S. Senator of Oregon Jeff Merkley. He’s here to ring-a-ding-ding those authoritarian alarm bells and give us a layout of how our Democracy is imperiled, and why the fight is still very much worth fighting. He’s focused on sharing 1) moves from the authoritarian playbook 2) the importance of joy and silliness as a form of resistance 3) why we need to be concerned about congressional obstruction, gerrymandering, and voter suppression and 4) the quality of Lindy’s beams. NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR A BETTER WORLD, FAM. And tune in to hear about who Jeff thinks is the nicest person in the U.S. Senate 👀👀👀. And if YOU think we really held Jeff’s feet to the fire with the hardest-hitting journalistic questions, consider supporting the pod over at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/TextMeBackPod.And in our next segment, Meagan explains American congressional processes (saying stuff like “cloture” and “cede the floor”), and then immediately follows that by bringing in a case that has never sat right with her, the casting of Jamie Foxx’s 2008 music video Blame It On the Alcohol. Too many hidden gems to mention here, but please please tell us what your thoughts are, if you have a The Cut subscription, or what piece of cultural ephemera lives rent-free in your mind.

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!!

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.

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!!!!

We asked, and you jingle-jangled our dang phone off the hook. Thank you to all our beautiful jingle horses who called and texted in to tell us that you too exist within Lindy’s Mandela mind. But the mystery continues…we, we MUST find the original Wee Sing Christmas. Is it in Lindy’s piano bench? Is it in her OTHER piano bench??? Only one way to find out (looking inside both benches). And special shoutout to Robert aka OUR ANGEL for calling in with a special German rendition of Jingle Bells!!!! We bleeped your location out of respect for you, king! And in our Tidings this week, Lindy is back on her rodent beat (new rat just dropped!) and Meagan bears her beautiful Seattle Mariners-related psychosis.

You won’t believe who we have on the podcast today. She’s a Phillies fan and a Gritty stan  🔔 she’s anti-youth culture 🫶and she washed these guys 💇‍♀️that’s right it’s… KELSEY MCKINNEY.Kelsey McKinney—beloved Normal Gossip queen, Defector co-founder, and Philly’s own sports mascot oracle—joins the pod for a completely deranged round of FMKHFDCGT with Philadelphia sports mascots. From the chaotic genius of Gritty to a suspiciously off-brand cat from Villanova, Kelsey herself ranks, judges, and makes forward-thinking marital commitments to our most beloved and accursed icons. AND DON’T MISS LINDY’S SHREW UPDATE…After discovering (potentially) one extremely loyal shrew or (possibly) eight extremely confused ones, Lindy needs our Patreon more than ever to fund her shrew-relocation road trips!!! www.patreon.com/textmebackpodWe need to know your thoughts on Love Island.

Another perfectly timely conversation with pop cultural commentary that remains at the top of everyone's minds!!!!This week we resurface a Patreon Exclusive and bring it to the masses. Comedian Guy Branum, BEST friend of the show, sat down with Text Me Back co-host Lindy West for a TMB Patreon Exclusive conversation about the Netflix hit series BABY REINDEER. These geniuses explore VITAL questions such as: Is it good for the fats? Is it good for the gays? What is the duty of art? Is it always bad to do drugs and have sex at a gay club or is it sometimes very fun? Would Lindy be more successful if she had her brain but the abs of Jillian Michaels? Or Jillian Michaels's brain but the abs of an actual reindeer? ALL THIS AND MORE IN THIS EXCLUSIVE FIRESIDE FAT/CHAT! WE ARE STILL ON BREAK FOR A COUPLE MORE WEEKS but we hope you enjoyed this little treat. Another quiet week in the news, we’re sure!
