April 23, 2023 Xylazine
…and they’re back after scrapping multiple bummer recording sessions before finally arriving at this new episode. Melissa is still on the mend from an actual fortnight of sickness, laryngitis and everything. Amanda performed a MAJOR solid by editing out at least 12 minutes’ worth of Melissa’s wretched coughing. If only there was a way for Amanda to edit out the start of her entire 2023 because so far, this hasn’t been her year. Also, enjoy a deep dive on the latest flesh-eating street drug Tranq. Happy Imperfect Strangers New Year which starts on 4/20, hey yay ayee yay, smoke weed every day (if you have a medicinal license to do so because we are parents and this is the Internet).

April 01, 2023 Ambien Y Tu?
Ever the studious ones fearful of disappointing others, the ladies sit down to record while Amanda is sick with a sore throat. Amanda discusses her hesitation in taking any kind of medication which makes Melissa crazy — just do the drugs! That said, Melissa is an insomniac who 100% cannot be trusted with Ambien.

March 26, 2023 One Long Cornrow
Shabbat Shalom! This episode is out of control. The friendship has reached a dangerous level of familiarity. We’re talking imaginary prison barbers, shitty legs, suppositories. And half of that is just Melissa telling Amanda about very awkward times where she was recognized from that reality show. Then! Be prepared to feel seen, foggy-headed people out there! The ADHD IS ADHD’ing.

March 17, 2023 Closed Doors Open Windows
Amanda’s 16-year-old dog Cocoa died. Thug down. Melissa’s husband sold his 22-year-old business. Thug down. Might need Kleenex for this one but not for long. After the musical break in the middle, join Melissa for a night out at a 90s R&B dance party, Covid be damned. #PMA #SF

March 04, 2023 Modern Etiquette
Melissa and Amanda respond to The Cut’s article on etiquette for the modern world for what they call “life after Covid.” After? OK, but we get the gist. It’s arguing time (in the most loving way). Do you cancel plans willy nilly? Do you trip when you see a famous person? Do you pretend you’re not impressed by someone’s accomplishments? Apparently there are new rules for these things. Find out where these ladies (not allowed to say ladies anymore — did you know that!) agree and disagree. You can read the article and follow along here — https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html.

February 24, 2023 When In Vermont
Melissa is about to take a road trip to Vermont to visit Danny. We all know she is not a nature lady, hence why she prepared for the visit with a trip to the beauty supply. Amanda regales us with her expertise in a new segment called Old Lady Gym where Melissa gets to ask questions about health and fitness now that she’s an athlete. The two get serious and down deep about tackling negative self-talk too. [positivity overload] Let’s do this!

February 10, 2023 Fraught
Amanda had a tough week with her sick dog Louis. Melissa, now an athlete, is having a harder time getting her heart rate up because she might be fit! Elsewhere in the episode, Beyoncé (always the winner), MGK and Jonah Hill. Plus, a little chat about the monetization of vulnerability. It’s like this is a real talk show or something!

February 03, 2023 Roses and Thorns
Every rose has its thorn. On this episode, Melissa and Amanda share the highlights of their weeks. For Amanda, her son earned his black belt. For Melissa, she’s closer to becoming bat mitzvah. Then, in a dreadful turn of events, the ladies overshare about the stuff that gets on their nerves on social media. The algorithm doesn’t care that they’re not interested. It just keeps serving them slop!
