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!! Thank you for your corroborating evidence that Meagan was among the Most Insp.! And if you’re former coach Brian, we’re waiting on you to write in, you coward, we KNOW you’re listening!!!!! 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. No Kings, Yes Frogs.
