Imperfect Strangers

Melissa and Amanda talk about coronavirus, hence the episode title Covid Rules Everything Around Me. Our two stranger-friends can’t wrap their brains around the following: America’s inability to get a handle on this disease, schools reopening or liking Disney World enough to actually go. Ew. Furthermore, do you know what time it is? It’s Fuck Chance O’Clock so you’re right on time!

*SIRENS BLARING* One otherwise peaceful morning, Amanda texted Melissa a link to an article called “You’re Showering Too Much.” Little did Amanda know Melissa has dedicated at least a decade of her life loudly rejecting the science behind these clickbait articles. Amanda believes her “body is a biome.” Melissa believes that “every day this butthole exists,” she needs to take at least one shower. Is there any room for gray area or is this a black and white issue? Will our two stranger-friends hang up forever? Listen in to find out.

It’s all fun and games until someone dies. On this episode, Melissa and Amanda revisit a previous conversation on miscarriage which ended with Amanda in tears. Our stranger-friends regroup to continue the discussion after some time away from it, thus creating safe space and understanding for each other. AWWW! They also explore signs and messages from lost loved ones. It’s a departure -- ziiiing. Get it! A departure from the normal conversation you’re accustomed to. Death and depth-- anyway, in short, it’s deep.
For this particular episode, there will be no interactive Instagram story. Instead, on the story feed, we will share resources for information on abortion, miscarriage and self-help. This topic should not be taboo, and everyone experiencing a loss should have a safe space to learn and process their feelings on it.

On this very special Father’s Day episode, the friendly strangers are tired.  After spending the weekend on household chores, Amanda and Melissa find themselves exploring the beauty of nature before hanging up to participate in some obligatory “birds and bees” for the holiday.  Ahhh, the great outdoors! Of course, that depends on who you’re asking. Having both spent some time in Florida, we discover Amanda would love to swim with the manatees while Melissa avoids natural bodies of water at all costs.

Yikes! Melissa is in a mood and so here’s a fair warning about the hot-button issues featured in this episode.

The two, both mothers of three children, also discuss co-sleeping and the cry it out method before they finally land on questionable interior decor choices. Live, love, laugh?

Find out which stranger does not care and has “little brown hairs everywhere” and which one’s like “you nasty, Pun.”

You can tell a little or a lot about a person by what kind of music she likes and how she rolls with her parents. On this episode, adult child of divorce Amanda and Melissa hop into a time machine to discuss their musical tastes in the 90s. The two explore Amanda’s formative years rebelling from her fancy mother with her love for Tori Amos. Melissa explains living in the shadow of her offbeat, but extremely charismatic parents who are still together for almost 50 years.
