Youâre not bed rotting. Youâre doing great, sweetie. Amanda and Melissa discuss the social media phenomenon of naming everything to be a negative mental health issue when really bitches just tired.

âŠand weâre back! Welcome to season 7 of your favorite podcast you almost forgot about because these MFs were gone so long we bet you thought there were Problems In The Relationship. See what we did there? Fear not, stranger-friends! The brand is strong! (This was our crap attempt at clickbait. Literally no one thought there were problems, LOL). On this episode of Imperfect Strangers, Melissa and Justin explore a new app to bring them closer in their marriage after an argument. On the second half, Amanda chaperones a field trip to Washington DC and based on the childrenâs behavior within the first hour, she has âragrets.â If youâre here and youâre listening, thanks for waiting. We appreciate you. This is the part where you reply, âNo problem!â Get it? Because there are no problems in the relationship. Yeah OK, weâll stop. Enjoy.

Amanda and Melissa reflect on the making of this podcast and their subsequent warm and fuzzy friendship as they hit their sixth season finale and 120th episode. This has been a really great run-on sentence. Melissa and Amanda also answer listenersâ unresolved questions from previous episodes. *CONFETTI* A little post-script to say rest in power to the legend DJ Casper, creator of the iconic Cha Cha Slide. He passed this week and we found out while editing the episode, looking for the sound clip we included here. That song is a gift.

Man, we feel like women! Donât listen to this episode if you havenât seen Barbie yet. Amanda and Melissa unpack this pretty pink masterpiece. Spoilers ahead. Highly recommend. Also, Melissa here with a NY Times Correction: Justin Beck would kill me if I didnât correct the official record to say that he never wore a puka shell necklace while singing at me with an acoustic guitar between any college years 1995 through 2000.

Melissa tells Amanda about how she and Justin attended a town meeting to make a noise complaint and as it turns out, it was the perfect date night. Something something something about trees, hence Lorax.

The ladies recap their weekend spent together as Melissa became bat mitzvah, including their quick trip to the gorgeous TWA.Warm fuzzies and too-long hugs all around. Ewwww. *hearts emojis*

Melisser is busy busy busy with her upcoming bat mitzvah service and guess whoâs coming? Amander! Melissa is verklempt, actual and genuinely honored. The Hebrew word for friendship is chaverut and wow, what a beautiful and long way these two have come. Elsewhere in this episode, Amanda explains All Duggar Everything to Melissa. Basically, the girls are saying do religion this way. Not that way. Yeah, itâs not lost on them how the theme of this episode ended up. Weâre living in a simulation anyway though! Enjoy.

To celebrate the third birthday (WOW) of Imperfect Strangers, we invited Andy Bellatti of Astrology With Andy to read the birth chart of this show. This podcast is a hardcore Gemini, a sign known for communication and curiosity â a perfect for a show about two strangers getting to know each other. If you want to find out more about astrology or learn more about yourself by getting your or your businessâs birth chart ready, look up Andy on IG at @astrologywithandy.

On the eve of Motherâs Day, Melissa implores you to get a Cadbury egg-shaped vibrator with arms for that special lady in your life. Amanda urges you to protect ya neck with wasp spray, but also swords, machetes and motion sensor lights. If the previous paragraph wasnât weird enough, this episode takes a weirder, XXX rated turn when these two, always late to a viral moment, discover passages from 50 Shades Of Grey.
-
Melissa and Amanda discover the subreddit called Xennials. Hypercolor. Cabbage Patch Kids. Serendipity books! Also, Melissa blames everything bad that happens on perimenopause. Also, men are Mars; women are superior.

âŠand theyâre 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 minutesâ worth of Melissaâs wretched coughing. If only there was a way for Amanda to edit out the start of her entire 2023 because so far, this hasnât 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).
-
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 â just do the drugs! That said, Melissa is an insomniac who 100% cannot be trusted with Ambien.
-
Shabbat Shalom! This episode is out of control. The friendship has reached a dangerous level of familiarity. Weâre 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 ADHDâing.

Amandaâs 16-year-old dog Cocoa died. Thug down. Melissaâs 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

Melissa and Amanda respond to The Cutâs article on etiquette for the modern world for what they call âlife after Covid.â After? OK, but we get the gist. Itâs 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 youâre not impressed by someoneâs accomplishments? Apparently there are new rules for these things. Find out where these ladies (not allowed to say ladies anymore â did you know that!) agree and disagree. You can read the article and follow along here â https://www.thecut.com/article/tipping-rules-etiquette-rules.html.

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 sheâs an athlete. The two get serious and down deep about tackling negative self-talk too. [positivity overload] Letâs do this!
-
On this episode, Amanda and Melissa chat about the permanence of both tattoos and sharing yourself on the Internet. Wanna know what’s not permanent? Melissa’s eyelash extensions and Amanda’s Botox. Very exciting discourse on youth maintenance.
-
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, BeyoncĂ© (always the winner), MGK and Jonah Hill. Plus, a little chat about the monetization of vulnerability. Itâs like this is a real talk show or something!

Then, in a dreadful turn of events, the ladies overshare about the stuff that gets on their nerves on social media. The algorithm doesnât care that theyâre not interested. It just keeps serving them slop!
