Summary

Woof what a WEEK (spoken for the past 63 weeks in a row).

But luckily your angels over at Text Me Back Podcast are here to break it up for you. No AI slop here–just hot juicy human junkyard waste ruminating at room temp for about six days. 

BUT FIRST: Are you seeing insane or unhinged things in the world, politically speaking? Do you have questions? Are you wondering if the things you’re seeing are AI deepfakes or the actual horrors of modern life? Write in to Swamp Person! Email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com with SWAMP PERSON in the subject line, or slide into MHM’s DMs instagram.com/importantmeagan. And don’t forget to subscribe to Swamp Person here.

And fyi, we chat about it briefly in this episode but DON’T TALK TO COPS. Stand with Minnesotans and for your own communities. There are a ton of good options on this list put together by Minnesotans for how you can help the people of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, including: Donate money. Donate food, diapers, and other necessities. Donate blood. Volunteer. Contact your own reps. Boycott businesses and corporations supportive of ICE. Swampy enough for ya? GOOD.

Because we HAVE to talk about AI doing something funny and frog related. We have to chat about Long Lost Family UK. We need to get to the REAL headline news of how bald men are treating each other on Reddit. And we really must remind you about the Antiques Roadshow. Please pipe up in the comments about: 

  • Should we let frogs be cops?
  • Do you stan a bald man?
  • What wholesome pro-grum is on your telly?


Plus a mini-PSA: For all you anxious kittens out there–the BFF Party Phone (703) 829-0003 runs no risk of actual interpersonal interactions fyi! We welcome your voicemails to tell us anything you like! Tell us a ghost story, give us a mystery, tell us (in the words of Meagan Hatcher-Mays) whater yourzzzz?

Last but not least, we finally talk about Heated Rivalry (but ONLY a little!). And do you have thoughts on Bugonia? This is what the discord is for over at patreon.com/textmebackpod

I hate my job, I hate it more than anyone who has ever hated a job. It's truly, unbelievably, meaningless and if it disappeared tomorrow not a soul would know about it. I have been looking for another, don't you worry. These ladies get me through my work day in a way no one else can. Just when I think I cannot sit one more minute at my desk they say something so silly that I LAUGH and can persevere toward the end of my day. I love these angels and demon Kevin, too.
