Oh look at the time! It’s Melissa Was Right Again O’Clock as Amanda reveals that a youngin’ in her household just got a phone! *confetti* No more waiting til 8th grade! Elsewhere in the episode, as the mother of three girls, Melissa really has no concept of what it truly means to be a boy mom. Amanda, the expert in handling the rough and tumble nature of her boys, enlightens Melissa on the wrestling and sweating and breaking things. Then, they discuss white hygiene. “Pits, penis, butt.” Wash your legs and feet, grab your headphones. Enjoy.

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.

Taupe Heels

This episode, yes, you’re hearing a bass guitar underneath, is called Taupe Heels because Amanda casually mentions that she applied for a new job! Melissa wondered if she’d have to dust off real work clothes like taupe heels, but no she does not. This has nothing to do with the episode at all but a long time ago when I was on Battle of the Network Reality Stars, one of the contestants from The Amazing Race showed up to a swimming competition in taupe heels so because of that singular amazing moment, she likes saying taupe heels. Anyway, we hope you enjoy this episode where Amanda updates us on her dad’s excellent prognosis and Melissa had a restorative day at the beach.
