"Text Me Back!" takes on... sports?! OK, hang on. We know your elegant pointer finger is hovering over the skip button right now. But Lindy and Meagan promise you — NBA basketball is actually funny as hell and more dramatic than "Love Is Blind." And you don't even really have to watch the games to get the top-shelf comedy. (Although that's where you see the dunks, and the dunks are incredible.)

And speaking of drama, college basketball goes full-on "Gladiator" once a month with March Madness. Lindy and Meagan have channeled all the good stuff about March Madness (competitiveness, overblown rivalries) and done away with the boring stuff (actual college teams) to bring you "Text Me Bracket!" We're pitting the Best Animals against the Worst people in our matchups. Head to our Instagram stories @textmebackpod to learn about each bracket and to play along. While you're there, send Lindy some birthday accolades!

TEXT ME BACK is a production of KUOW in Seattle, a proud member of the NPR Network.

Our editor is Jeannie Yandel. Our senior producer is Brandi Fullwood. Our mixer is Jason Burrows.
