Lindy and Meagan are Mad About Something ELSE!!!

Space and time continue to be melded into one great big wonky mass, like a fruit roll up left in your car on a hot day. Where we are, the Heated Rivalry conversation is still buzzing, so we have a pret-tay heated take for you. And Meagan doesn’t even know that her beloved Seahawks are Super Bowl champs! If you’d like to go back in time and let her know the good news feel free to call us at (703) 829-0003.And…we normally don’t like to fight in front of the Textmebackolytes, but Meagan just could not hold her silence and live in a lie any longer. Sorry kiddos!!! Daddy just forgot his little meatballs! Does Meagan do repair? Will Lindy forgive? Tune in to find out, and if YOU have a bone to pick with us, write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com. We’re P.U.B.E.S all the way down this week.But we round out the conversation with something nice! Meagan’s Tiktok Digest brings tidings of men and boys doing nice things with and for each other, and not in a Heated Rivalry way at all. In just a friendly, nice little fella kind of way.NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?

Lindy and Meagan are Daddy’s Little Meatball

Ooohh time-space continuum is on the fritz–it’s a completely different day and yet…possibly the same day, who could say? They’re wearing different clothes, so the evidence suggests either 1) a parallel universe is unfolding before us 2) we’re caught in a time loop, or 3) that Lindy and MHM changed clothes between two back to back recordings to present YouTube viewers with a new visually stimulating experience.Here’s what’s so great about these fancy-pants studio recordings…the girls are spaced out and gabbing, and it’s like they pulled up a chair for ya. It’s nice!!! And it’s all thanks to our devoted, mentally ill Patreon subscribers over at patreon.com/textmebackpod.

Lindy and Meagan Low-Key Have High Hopes

Two friends swap New Year’s resolution confessions, from dry January slips to thrifted wardrobe gambles. They revive a recurring segment to argue over bizarre snake stories, from courtroom pythons to a python curled on a woman’s chest. Quick micro-reviews include a debated 2025 film and one host’s criminally underrated small pleasure.

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!!NEVER LISTENED TO THE POD BEFORE?
