Tori is to Amanda as Mariah is to Melissa. Amanda has a spiritual experience at a Tori Amos concert by herself like a boss. The ladies also deconstruct Alanis Morrisette’s Ironic. None of it is actual irony. *John Travolta confused gif* And finally, this is a Jessica and Ashlee Simpson fan page now. You did it, Joe (and Tina).

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.
