Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays Lindy and Meagan and Franchesca Love a Lace Front Beard Wig
Okay shut up shut up we have to focus!!!
We have the INCREDIBLE Franchesca Ramsey in the house, so we can’t be distracted by things like 1) what Text Me Back even is? 2) if it is good or bad.
Franchesca’s presence punctures one of the central tenets of Text Me Back - for SHE has a podcast (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 since Franchesca is the big brain behind Lindy’s renewed internet fame, 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.
PLUS: updates on the tumbleweed situation, stay tuned til the end!!
