Summary

This week on Text Me Back!, ever-vigilant hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays reveal they actually really dislike unsolved mysteries. But they press onward anyway, talking about their own recent brushes with mysteries both IRL and online. Meagan uses the podcast to platform her own conspiracy theory that a shadowy government cabal is using TikTok to drive a wedge between Gen Z and millennials. And with the help of the intrepid Text Me Backolytes, Lindy and Meagan finally solve a mystery that's been bedeviling them for more than two decades.
