Summary
This week on Text Me Back, generally optimistic hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays allow themselves exactly 4 minutes of time total to hate on Senator Dick Durbin and cream cheese frosting. Then, Lindy and Meagan get too scared to shower after reading some listeners' real-life close calls with The Killer. And bestselling author and beloved TV writer Samantha Irby enters the chat to explain how she got Miranda to beat up The Killer on an episode of Sex And The City reboot And Just Like That.
