Over Yessed

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/05/26

What happens when you agree to everything? You guessed it. A whole lotta nuthin. Amy loses her voice screaming her support, praise and constructive opinions at various public facing events. Stuart flies too close to the sun — again — and feels the wrath of Missy's Birthday again. And we both explore the realities of adults behaving badly, Sports, Sex and Politics edition. Had enough? Not a chance. We revisit the risks of Missy not knowing how to swim, or frankly, not approving of peeing in the

Love Is Like Diarrhea

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/05/12

Happy Mother’s Day, kids! Missy flies down to Floriduh to experience the warmth of her familial bonds first hand (and earns a Triple Word Score from her kids in the process). Stuart tries, again, and fails — again — to surprise anyone for Missy’s birthday. Amy inspires us all with the 30 Day Orgasm Challenge, courtesy of Netflix’s Sex Education. And Summer Love begins in earnest. Ready to feel good about yourself? Just think of any type of cereal. Any. Just one. And you’ll instantly beat our best

Upping the Stakes, Prom Edition

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/05/05

Whassup, Tennessee? Nice laws you got there. We endorse! Brian drops the goods on Amy’s complete lack of accountability. Isn’t he cute? Strangers routinely misgender Butters. And Missy celebrates Mallory’s Most Momentous College Decision with a rousing round of Remember When. Paging Kelly Clarkson… Amy continues her Judgmental Fashion: Celebrity Edition with a wildly anti-feminist (and totally unsolicited) review of Debra Messing’s boob flauntability. (Cue Lizzo... or perhaps Gloria Steinem)

Hamilton!

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/04/28

Five thousand dollar blow job anyone? It’s the Hamilton episode, gang, complete with tears in the theatre, inappropriate husband car talk, cotton mouth dental surgery, and an impromptu self actualization session for Amy that might just make you feel better, too. Look around, look around, how lucky we are to be alive right now! Missy comes to the defense of Leslie Odom Jr. against Amy's baseless attacks, then turns her fisticuffs on Amy's faultering self-image. Amy challenges herself to do more with

And Now... We Fight

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/04/21

Amy returns from her ridiculously luxurious trip to Italy, complete with a Five Star Fist Fight™, accidental opiod exposure and a new interpretation of her already iconic last name. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Missy dipped her toe (see what I did there?) into feline-based identity politics only to emerge as confused as the silly little kitten who requested a litter box at school. Then, Missy takes Mallory on the road to see yet another round of colleges, receive yet another bathroom rejection,

Ciao, Anxiety!

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/04/14

Come again, my Lord? It’s the Bridgerton Heavy Sighs episode, gang, replete with steamy references to that lake scene, that garden scene, that art studio scene, and that bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom bedroom scene. Did we mention the bedroom? Missy’s Puss Toe makes a reappearance. And Amy shares her anxiety over packing a bag for vacation. (Such problems.) All this, plus nontraditional sex roles defined, judging marital relationships, and who’s minding the shore house. All this and more, on

The Slap Meets The Toe

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/04/07

The slap heard round the world still lingers, friends, only this time we’re doing the slapping. Missy disgusts us all with tales of her swole toe. Amy plots a new plan for the Brilliant Family Passover. And Will Smith takes yet another beating. All this and more, on today’s Brilliant Observations. Do doo doo doo dooooooooooo!

Peleton Surprise!

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/03/31

And suprise... and surprise. Exercise is one thing, but this is ridiculous. Peleton rolls out a new expansion plan, starting with Melissa’s beach house (surprise!). If that’s not enough, the Universe decides to send Missy a new outfit to go along with it (surprise surprise!). Amy struggles with fashion. And friendship. And cognitive recall, apparently. Bowling? In a world of Putins, be a Zelensky. Praying for the day this horror is over. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes. Love this

Vulva Cookies

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/03/24

It's the Judgy Parenting episode, gang, but don't worry. We're doing the judging. Amy likens her parenting style to a driverless boat speeding out of control, while Missy sees her role as slowly until her too-near death. Fun! There's also the Penis Game (is it, though?), creepy weepy lady part cookies (for Purim!) and, as usual, Missy has the last clap. Congratulations on your nomination, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. We're glad you're here. In a world of Putins, be a Zelensky. Glory to

What's the best cure for a massively deserved hangover? Dirty talk, courtesy of Melissa's close encounter with a back-of-the-neck breathing Level Jumper. Check please! It's all crudity in this one, gang. Just doing our part to temporarily distract those who deserve a laugh from the horrors of daily life. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes. Love this episode?

Not Stealing Is My Superpower

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/03/10

Protest caravans, normalized shoplifting, Venmo deadbeats, foot-in-mouth disease (times two!) and our favorite Ukranian sanctions. This week has something for everyone, kids. Missy and Stu close on the beach house just in time for Edgar and friends to ask them to leave. Missy embarrasses herself in at the veterinarian’s office (again). And your favorite failed quiz returns with 30 seconds of Amy. Love this episode? Share it with a friend via text message, social media or word of mouth. Sharing is

When I Think Big Penis...

Brilliant Observations ·

2022/03/03

Ready for a little news-of-the-day getaway? Join us as we experience a Broadway show through a virgin's eyes, play rubber toy tug (and lose), and ponder the world's most subjective question: can a penis be too big? Plus! Missy unveils a new listener engagement tool (bless her heart), more beach house bathroom updates, Amy welcomes a visiting child to the mic, and a must-fail auto quiz. Listen closely and you might even catch a cameo from noneother than the man himself. Brian! Love this episode

Looking for a little excitement? Listen in as master practitioner Amy loses her mind in ecstacy while playing a meaningless college graduates quiz.

Phone Tree — Activate! Mallory hits an imaginary hobo with her car, triggering an in-depth look at psychological trauma, car-on-mailbox crime, and how our families share critical information. Spoiler alert: they don’t! Just to be clear, the teen is fine, the car is fine, the mailbox is fine… and the hobo is imaginary. Mother in Florida? Not fine, but really, not much we can do about that. Well, the weed gummies help. Here's that Oprah quote: Forgiveness is giving up hope that the past could be
