Brilliant Observations ·

2023/07/06

Boy oh boy, Dear Listener, did we get feedback from you! So if last week's epsiode got you all riled up, you're in for a real treat.

All About That Face

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/06/29

Don't you just love Melissa? Well, Dear Listener, then this episode is for you. This week, we discuss the wonders of Missy's oceanside abode, including long lost friend reunions, sandy canines, too tall entry stairs, sequestering ourselves on the third floor and the perils of dispatching Stuart back to reality (ope! there goes gravity, ope! there goes Rabbit he choked he's so mad but he won't give up that easy no...) Then, as we often do, we ever so eventually get to the meat of the matter: Justine

Birthday Blowouts and Again with the Anal

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/06/21

Celebrating another 'birthday week/month' with the rest of the Millenials, are we? Well, prepare to be judged, Dear Listener, 'cuz we're officially sick of it. Time to scale back your annual self-acknowledgment to a Boomer-approved cake slice accompanied by a single, yet hearty handshake. (These kids today.) From there, of course, we pivot to anal. It's all in a day's conversation on the little podcast that could (but maybe shouldn't). And, you're welcome. We're dropping this week's episode a wee

Social Media Shaming with Super Close Strangers

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/06/15

Feeling psychopath-curious? Look no further than this week's shamefully relatable episode. Dear Listener: is this you? Sweeping sidewalks and city streets as if they are your own? Eshewing "group poop" with individualized walks for your multiple pets? Judging friends for ignoring obvious solutions to their probems? Ignoring the fact that you, too, behave exactly like the friends you're judging? All that, plus: Amy’s neighbors head to the airport for a planeside visit with former president Donald J

Face Spells and Experience Amnesia

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/06/08

Nothing like a handcrafted Face Spell to make a gal feel better about herself. Which begs the question: should Etsy be allowed to sell literal "beauty charms" as products? Amy says yes. Missy cries cult. You be the judge — who are we kidding, Dear Listener, we're definitely judging this week. All that, plus a rousing round of Would You Rather, a monkey-infused Costa Rican Recap, and Experience Amnesia.

What Price Beauty

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/06/01

From baby Botox to chin lifts, Morpheus laser and yellow dragon fruit, we’re covering how far we’ll go for beauty this week, Dear Listener. And believe you me, you’ll never guess the next thing Melissa’s putting in her mouth. Plus, a travel update on Ethan has him visiting a war zone, then lying to Missy about his illusion of safety (consequently expanding the war zone radius). Meanwhile, in North Carolina, there’s graduation, pervert training, and yet another Costa Rican toileting update. (S the

2023/05/25

Do you have a punchable face? Take our quiz and find out! And if that's not enough, we cover masculine energy, "IYKYK", Missy's Evil Mommy (Part 2,000), middle east security concerns, and no-bend, no-T slip on shoes (to address the untied shoelace epidemic). Join us, Dear Listener, as we briefly look back and whiplash forward on the little show that could 300 times over. Nominated for TWO Sonic Bloom Awards — really? You bet cha, buster. So tell your friends. And rate us five stars. We love

Talent, Charisma, and Regular Hydration Drinks

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/05/18

If you're looking to start a side hustle training crows to bring you random change they find in the park, buy oh boy do we have a show for you. This week, we cover hoarding, underwear, ayahuasca, bodily fluids, hydrating fluids and the wildest, most disconnected assortment of stream of consciousness topics your fever-dreamed minds can handle. Enjoy!

An Encore for Alex Borstein

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/05/11

For perhaps the first time ever, Missy and Amy disagree wildly on comedy show. Missy suspects it's a Jew thing. Amy blames Charlie Brown. Who will you blame? Listen and learn, Dear Listener, and we just might offer a few bonus Unexpected Penis appearances and VIP Vomit Hall of Famers for good measure.

Talking To Other People's Kids

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/05/03

Is there anything more unsettling than adults behaving badly with other people's kids? Dear Listener, you be the judge as Amy and Melissa both experience many different sides of this sticky, silly, weepy, creepy situation. Too long, didn't listen: kids are fragile. Behave accordingly. And yes, we still laugh our asses off over stupid stuff and nonsense. Enjoy!

Asking Friends for Money and Other Mistakes

Brilliant Observations ·

2023/03/20

What's worse: asking close friends for money, or causing close friends to waste four otherwise productive hours of work? Spoiler Alert: Amy did one of those things this week, and Melissa did the other. Which was worse? You be the judge, Dear Listener, as you muddle through this week's epsiode, working title Failed Audio Attempt Number 3. For the record, Amy wants everyone to know that the first screw up was 100% her error. The second screw up? 200% Amy's error. The third? Well, you get the idea.
