Melissa goes to the museum. A little girl coughed. Nah. Elsewhere in the episode, Melissa’s kids gotta use the public restroom. Also nah. Amanda cannot understand how it’s possible to avoid public restrooms but Melissa Explains It All and mid explanation realizes she sounds crazy as hell. Since we’re here, do you take a shit at work or do you need therapy?

Wives + Knives

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.
