Description

Amanda says she’s been having feelings of living off the grid and taking up an Ace of Base level lonely life. Melissa tries to understand why she’s feeling this way. Could it be pandemic exhaustion? Through thoughtful discussion, they decide it’s that she can’t un-know what she now knows too well about our fractured American society. Plus, maybe it’s time to accept and work with (and not against) the knowledge that she’s just not a people person. Melissa loves misanthropy so welcome, Amanda! Amanda also celebrates 20 years since her first date with Chris. An accomplishment Melissa believes should end with WFT or TMJ. If you’ve been a stranger-friend for some time, you don’t even need our glossary to know what that means.

Amanda, a graphic designer from OH, invited Melissa, a NY stay-at-home mom on her podcast. Melissa, who has been hunkered down for decades after a cool but soul-crushing brush with fame on MTV’s Real World New Orleans, didn’t really do this sort of thing but Amanda seemed nice. They recorded twice due to technical difficulties, but ended up chatting for hours. Who the fuck talks on the actual phone? They do! Two strangers getting to know each other the old-fashioned way. Get to know Melissa all over again as she gets to know Amanda for the first time. Bonus! One’s white and one ain’t.
