Orange Juice Optional

Why Hello… Random Thoughts in Friendship!


Listen Later

It’s been a day of frustration for both Michelle and Suzanne, so the orange juice is completely optional for this episode. To provide an uptick to their day, they have chosen to follow the example of one of their favorite TV shows (especially for Suzanne), Seinfeld, and host an episode about nothing. As you will quickly discover, however, any conversation between these two best friends always results in some entertaining and profound moments for themselves and their listeners, and today is no exception.

 
They start off by describing the reasons behind their frustrating days, the notion of making this a Seinfeld-esque episode, some Star Wars trivia, and the definition of ‘making dinner’. They also venture into what it means to babysit, Aunt Susie’s Rules, grandkids and Disneyland, Mother’s Day and their own experiences as children and mothers, and some of the dumbest things they did as teenagers. Born out of frustration and with a plan to be about nothing, this episode is anything but, as it celebrates the ease and warmth of a conversation between great friends and the variety in both lightness and depth that can be found there.
