New words and phrases

"random" means happening, done, or chosen by chance without any plan or pattern. 

Billie says how unexpected that proposition was in her situation, she used the word "actually" to emphasize her surprise.

"come about" is a phrasal verb that means to happen, or start to happen.

This time, Billie used "like" as an adverb in the sense of feelings, before to describe how she was feeling or what she said when something happened to her.

Billie asks a lot of questions that help her handle unexpected situations: What kind of? What? Like what? What does that even mean? Where did that come from? What would we even make? What's even going to happen?

"on the phone" is a phrase that means speaking on the phone.
