Brilliant Observations

Friends in need level-jump their testicle-and-lady-part questions straight over Melissa’s head in an attempt to get to Dr. Stuart. Her advice? If you’re taking two days to eat an orange, you’re doing something wrong. Join us as we eviscerate all the cheeses, catchup on the beach house hunt and debate the horrors of wedgie-inducing underpants. Weigh in on the thong-vs-boy short-vs-nudist debate at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, www.BrilliantObservations.com, or BrilliantObservations@gmail.com. Find swag at TeePublic.com/BrilliantObservations, or support us at Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations. Be kind. We’re snowed in. It’s the “Melissa hates everything orange” episode, as Missy dives head first into the mystery of Sumo oranges, “orange” American cheese (breathe slowly, it’s ok), government loaf cheese, Velveeta “cheese”…and the list rages on. Amy swings by college for a quick “life will be OK” visit, while Melissa Instacarts family-sized sushi during two feet of snow. Missy spills the latest on the beach h

Some things you just don’t talk about. Like loving crunchy peanut butter. Hating the beach. Or meeting a flaccid penis. As usual, Amy is convinced with no evidence whatsoever that the mythic “limp dick” heard tell in every comedy club and Hollywood storyline is actually a fallacy. I mean, have you *ever* heard anyone who has ever had this happen — male, female, friend, foe? Perhaps, dear listener, you will be the one to set the record ram-rod straight for us with some prized BrillObsSquad feedback. Or perhaps you’ll just crunch into a warm PB&J and call it a night.   Join the conversation online at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, @GirlGotMic, or www.BrilliantObservations.com, or BrilliantObservations@gmail.com.

Grab your Go Bag, kids. It’s time to clip-in to your Peletons and ride through the weirdest sex talk ever. (Save us, Carson Daly!) Join us as we distract ourselves from the day’s events with sourdough, Bridgerton, and a jaunty, judgy dive into the why of watersports. Pee and sex. Poo and sex. Sushi and sex. Sex and sex. It’s enough to push a girl to eat tongue. #CarbGood If you're a skipper, this week, we cover...

Stuart accidentally swallows a dog toy, while Missy discovers the surprising power of even the least bit of encouragement. Just ask a flaccid penis. Hey, oh! This week's conversation brings talk of hellfire, exercise induced endorphins, and novel writing updates. Plus, Missy and Stu wave their last (almost?) goodbyes to the Florida house, and Amy and Melissa definitively confirm it’s the gift — not the thought — that counts.  Join the conversation online at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, @GirlGotMic, or www.BrilliantObservations.com, or BrilliantObservations@gmail.com.

Paging Mommie Dearest…in this week’s trip down Childhood Trauma Lane, Missy revisits her mother’s cleanliness-based ban on anything white because, quote, “you’ll just ruin it.” Feel the love as we break Missy’s children of their birthright, courtesy of a brand new white sweatshirt. Well. White...for now.   Join the conversation online at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, @GirlGotMic, or www.BrilliantObservations.com.

Looking for a laugh while you clean the house, set the table, prep the food or...let's be honest, grab a menu and the remote ("Alexa, call GrubHub")? We've got you covered. We're releasing the show two days early so you'll have ample time to delay making your favorite holiday dishes. Like what you hear? Share it with family and friends who are hopefully stuck home alone just like you — #STAYtheFUCKhome — so they can join the sidesplitting, "sides"giving fun. We'll even bring the creamed corn. Ew.   We're thankful for you, as always Dear Listener. Find us on the socials @ListenBrilliant, email at BrilliantObservations@gmail.com or give at Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations.

The only people traveling for Thanksgiving are death wish assholes. Sadly, Amy was temporarily among them.  Listen with disgust as we talk holiday traditions decimated by covid and other peppy stories. And please note: we recorded and edited this episode roughly three weeks before Thanksgiving... so in the time it took to release the show, Amy has since changed her mind about travel. She and her family will all be celebrating the holiday at their individual homes this year.  So as it turns out, be like Amy.  We're thankful for you, as always Dear Listener.

Wash your hands, kids! Melissa takes Ethan on a college road trip, and worries she may have reached the end of her parenting journey. Naturally, our thoughts turn to last week's Fan Favorite, the Humping Phase, otherwise known as the magical milestone when kindergarteners learn to twerk it during naptime. (Trust her. She’s certified.) Join us as we work through the ups and downs (as well as the up-down-up-down) of planning for a covid soaked everything, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, college, and the great beyond.

Face it. We all need a little relief at this point. But holy hand cream, Jeffrey Toobin. Did you really have to jerk it at work? You be the judge, along with Amy that is, who makes no BONEs about her opinion. So grab the tissues, pervs. It’s going to be a GRIPPING conversation. Plus, if it wasn’t obvious enough already, we do everything we can to avoid talk of the election altogether with our first annual Best Of the Year list — 2020 style. Which, of course, means it kinda sucks.  Join the conversation online at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, @GirlGotMic, or www.BrilliantObservations.com.

Missy takes a road trip and rekindles her love of loosely baked cookie toppings. Then, we see who has what it takes to lead a cult. Hint — if you're willing to place a political sign in your yard, you might not be that far off. We're up, we're down, we're eating off the ground. Must be 2020!  Join the conversation online at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, @GirlGotMic, or www.BrilliantObservations.com.

Missy drops some big news about E's college prospects...and Amy drops to the floor. Spoiler alert: burnout is real, and it's spectacular. Plus Facebook overshares, Australian downloads and general malaise. It's all part of our Third Act. Sorta.

Missy has a Vulcan mind-meld with her Foxy Boxy Peleton instructor. Amy makes good with Jon Bukenas. And hypnotists everywhere beware — we're skeptical. Plus listener feedback from Bonnie Frank of the Business Fabulous Podcast, Missy's anniversary gift and the wonders of alternative meditation.

So, our humble little podcast is rising in the comedy charts. This week, we discuss porn. Coincidence? And before you get all hot and bothered with anticipation, allow us to disappoint. Our discussion focuses on all you liars out there. At least according to Missy's "research." Add to the debate on Facebook at BrillObs Squad, or support us on www.Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations . And we'll keep coming  every week. (See what we did there?) BrilliantObservations@gmail.com www.BrilliantObservations.com  

Missy kicks off Yom Kippur with a traditional apology while Amy's eye gently weeps. Don't worry. It's just puss.  Learn the secrets behind chaffles — a delightfully savory cross between a grilled cheese and a waffle — and the best way to combat college application stress in the time of covid.
