Lindy and Meagan Become the Joe Rogan of the Left with Jeff Merkley

Lindy and Meagan Become the Joe Rogan of the Left with Jeff Merkley

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. Text OR CALL us at the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.

And last but not least…Lindy’s 6th plague and pestilence of the year: flies. 😔

Lindy and Meagan Get their Asses Got: LIVE at the Reser!

Lindy and Meagan Get their Asses Got: LIVE at the Reser!

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! DM us on IG @textmebackpodHave an idea for another game we should do for our live shows? Tell us what you got by emailing us at deartextmeback@gmail.com.STUFF TO CHECK OUT:Check out our MERCH!

Lindy and Meagan Recorded This Before The Bad Thing Happened

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. We’ll keep fighting alongside you for a better world, for us and for our communities, because we have to. We love you.

Lindy and Meagan Take the No-Giggle Pledge (And You Can Too!)

Lindy and Meagan Take the No-Giggle Pledge (And You Can Too!)

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!

Lindy and Meagan Claim the Coveted Title of Ink Master

Lindy and Meagan Claim the Coveted Title of Ink Master

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).
