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 pres...2024-10-171h 14

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).

Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-MaysLindy and Meagan Call Out Assholes by NameIf Lindy and Meagan had a podcast back in June 2023, this episode would have been soooo timely. But they didn’t. So they’re covering the most important story of that year here and now and that is…the implosion of the Titan submersible. BUT BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THAT, we’re back on our endless, increasingly appalling, and all-encompassing RFK, Jr. beat, which brings us swiftly to Segment P.U.B.E.S. Somehow, this RFK, Jr. has led us on a collision course with a cohort of assholes who bullied Lindy in 2017 for being...2024-10-031h 19

Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-MaysLindy and Meagan Have the Regular Number of OrgansIn this week’s episode, Meagan’s appendix decides to take this “I Can Fix Her” segment to a whole new level and makes an unexpected break for it. And as a result, 50% of our hosts are in the hospital and our episode is a little shorter than usual! When the appendix decides to say *bye girl 💅* we have to respect it, but luckily we had a pre-recorded segment brought to you by Magic Mind, an elixir that helps make brain from brainestrone.
