Summary
This week is a grab bag special, which is a euphemism for “we forgot to plan anything for this episode,” and our hands are pulling out a special little treat from the archives. That’s right, it’s a stumble down memory lane where Lindy and Meagan talk about one of their early jobs working at Paul Allen’s musical history storage facility, Seattle’s Experience Music Project (now MoPOP).
From the multi-sensory (🥴) Funk Blast ride to the soul-crushing reality of handing out malfunctioning MEGs to tourists, they leave no stone unturned. Surprise mentions include Rufio, Madonna (aka Cyndi Lauper), Ren-Faire Guy, a James Brown Face/Off moment, and the origin story of our famed Dr. Freekvonk music!
Anyway, work sucks! If you are a teen or early-twenties worker, do the bare minimum and skip your last day! You can still be a lawyer and a writer, nothing real bad will happen, probably.
Tell us ALL ABOUT your early employment stories at (703) 829-0003.

| 0:09.7 | Yeah, it does. |
| 0:12.2 | And then I was thinking about in middle school, we had a long-term, maybe he was a student teacher or maybe a long-term sub named Mr. Bailey, who always had a thick, healthy mat sticking out. |
| 0:27.0 | And then we had a little inside joke that I think it must have been like me and Carissa and Leah or something, Hester, maybe, that he should have a shirt with like a plastic window. So you could see the rest. Yeah, because you could tell he really, he wanted to show it off a lot. He wanted people to know about his tufts. Yeah. You know. Anyway, Mr. Bailey, if you're listening, give us a call. How are the Tufts looking these days? Silver, salt and pepper? Salt and pepper tufts. |

| 1:43.4 | I'm Megan Hatchermaine's. |
| 1:46.0 | That's shit. Sorry. And I'm willing to you. |
| 1:48.3 | I don't think we've done an intro on this show in like three weeks. |
| 1:54.1 | Welcome to Text Me Back, a podcast that started at a real radio station where they made us have a name and a concept. |
| 2:03.2 | But now we're independent. |
