On the season three premiere of Imperfect Strangers, one of only three podcasts Michael K of DListed listens to, Melissa catches up with Amanda by telling her all about pandemic homeschooling fatigue. Our two stranger-friends also discover they differ wildly on how they shop. Amanda loves an “internet shopping moment” and has purchased many things because that Instagram be knowing. Melissa confesses she was deathly afraid of using credit cards online and thus has become mostly an online window shopper. Also, Amanda, on a whim, quit her personal Instagram. Listen for Melissa’s jealousy.

Preconceived Notions Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

On the season finale of season 2, Melissa and Amanda reach a new level in this “getting to know each other situation.” Amanda reveals, in full, that she once had a sizable collection of pewter fairies holding crystals. This knowledge unlocks a new understanding for Melissa who had a preconceived notion of Amanda as just a “fitness lady” and not this nuanced nerd, which is how Melissa sees herself. Listen to them chat about and dispel the misperceptions they’d had about each other this whole time! Fascinating.

Thank You Thank You Thank You Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

As they head into their 40th and final episode for season two, Amanda and Melissa take a moment to say thank you to the listeners for creating such a fun and engaged community. But also to acknowledge that the show *is* truly about two people getting to know each other and sometimes those conversations get deep — wait a minute, this is too deep — deep and some self-reflection is required before publishing. Also, stick around to hear your very special Patreon shout-outs. Your new episode comes Monday, March 8 and they’ll see you back on Instagram around 7-ish for the Monday Night Live that same evening. You’ll be missed during hiatus but know that new, new episodes, where Melissa and Amanda have an even deeper understanding of each other, will be available for season three in early April. See you soon!

Mason Jar Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

If you thought we were judgmental last week while telling you how to name your baby in ways we approve, wait until you hear how we feel about what you shouldn’t do on your wedding day. On this episode, marvel at Melissa and Amanda’s total lack of respect for the traditional wedding. Apologies in advance because even if we’re just being honest, there’s a 78% chance we’re being rude.

Weekend Warriors Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

On this episode, our stranger-friends discuss what they did over the weekend like normal people who are getting to know each other would. Did you forget these two are getting to know each other? Amanda is handy AF. Melissa is most certainly not. These two also love their children but hate their children’s things so they’ve designed their homes to exclude them. Rude! If you want to see your name in lights ie hear your Patreon shout-out, you can head to the 1:00:36 mark in the episode. Thank you for listening!

Vaccinaaators, Mount Up Jan 22, 2021

Show notes

On this episode, Amanda and Melissa discuss the aftermath of the Trump administration and the subsequent insurrection he incited. Yes, it was three weeks ago, but it’s still pressing news! Democracy was hanging by a thread, people! Looking forward to a new day after Biden’s inauguration, the stranger-friends discuss their feelings on the vaccine. Amanda confirms, once and for all, that she’s not an anti-vaxxer (phew). Melissa explains the benefits and pleasures of fear mongering.

Bodyodyodyody Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

The strangers are discussing body image on this episode. Melissa has body dysmorphia and therefore dresses like a plumber. She tells a story about having to meet sexy metal band wives and feeling like Chris Kattan as Mango. Amanda wants to know how exactly to exude sexiness because even after watching ANTM for many years, she still hasn’t mastered the smize. Funny, because the lady drops a bomb this episode and says she once did a boudoir photo shoot!
