Lindy and Meagan Have Died of Dysentery

Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays

This week on Text Me Back, the greatest podcast in the history of media, Lindy and Meagan dive into their texts to share some hard truths: Tom Cruise is great! Chris Pratt is actually funny? Sorry, discourse, but we need to discuss our problematic faves.

And, your intrepid hosts have departed Independence, Missouri, with nothing more than a dream, a covered wagon, a dimwitted guide, and an unhygienic missionary…that’s right, Oregon Trail is back, baby, and weirder than ever. Will Lindy and Meagan make it to the Willamette Valley without dying of dysentery? Tune in to find out.

Finally, Lindy — president of the weird snake fan club — is at long last bringing us hot snake news all the way from the Amazon. Someone has allegedly found an enormous anaconda, but viewers of the hit 1997 film "Anaconda" starring Jennifer Lopez already knew all about it.
