Brilliant Observations

Real friends. Real funny. We swear. Like, a lot. Join us for unscripted, uncensored, and definitely unsuitable-for-work comedy conversation about relationships, marriage, friendship, sex, hope, parenting and prospering at midlife. It's like grabbing a weekly cocktail with your favorite girlfriends for a candid look at life that lifts you up as it pulls you in. From religion to porn to money, fears, our bodies, our brains, secrets, failures, food, family and finding your path, almost nothing is off-limits (except politics — gross). Longtime friends Melissa Brilliant and Amy Fugazi overshare abo...

Epizody

Bama Mom and Troll Hunting 01.10.2026
High Crimes and Algorhythms 24.09.2026
Prison Ozempic 17.09.2026

I was not a member of the Jury, Dear Listener, but even I know that being fat is not a crime. Missy shephards us through the latest reality show phenomenon (Hint hint: it's Baseball). And both Amy and Melissa complete their first week on Plan Squat (and live to tell the tale). 

Your Boyfriend Stinks 10.09.2026

It's Adult Children Report Card Week, Dear LIstener, and Missy has once again earned straight As. The wedding was a smash success, Amy recovers from moving (boxes? her body?) and a new sniff-this! study teaches us that researchers are spending way too much time investigating the wrong things. 

The Things We Value 03.09.2026

Oh, Kenny! We're taking a page out of Dolly's playbook and using our powers for good this week, Dear Listener. So join us as we sprinkle positivity and giggly-fied, googly eyed brightness as far as our voices will carry. If you get a kick out of laughing along each week, tell the person next to you. Share the show link. Watch them listen, their shoulders soften, and your own heart warm just a bit...

Rage Bait 27.08.2026

Another week, another reason for the world to drive Melissa certifiably bonkers. We send another round the kiddos off to school, and Four Seasons pulls through in the clutch. 

Shopping Malls and College Calls 19.08.2026

Oh, the glorious season of spending is upon us, Dear Listener, as both Missy and Amy prepare to send yet another young one off to the great and Ivory-towered abyss. And somehow, through it all, we still manage to engage in a lively debate about the glory hole (would you, though?). Brilliant observations, indeeeeeeeeeeed.

Supernatural Boobies 12.08.2026

We're entering a new an unexplored area of friendship this week, Dear Listener, and Missy is about to be blindsided. Don't worry — she comes out unscathed. Well, only slightly scathed. Find yoour favorite socks and buckle up. It's about to be a supremely wild ride. Love you. Mean it. 

Margate Missy Makes It Happen 06.08.2026

Dear Listener... if you only knew. 

Medium Problems 30.07.2026

Small Medium Large are the concerns we face, Dear Listener, particularly as it pertains to dog poop. Missy lives the dream that is managing a household of various dependencies, and Amy is stomped on yet again by all her reaction-loving friends. It's another whirlwind romp through the lives of your favorite giggle friends. Laugh along and let us know what you think. (Believe me, we hear it all the...

StankaFinger 23.07.2026

It's Birthday Season, Dear Listener, and Missy is here with a fresh batch of learnings from her sage ole life. Amy inexplicably befouls her fingers. And we both explore the magic of pop up everything (don't be gross). Froyo, anyone?

Uncomfortabler Still 16.07.2026

Smells like goats at the fair in here, Dear Listener, and it's all thanks to you. Back again this week is Mormon Soaking, explosive diarrhea and everyone's favorite, Looking Back On My Past Behavior. Did we mention the balls? Join us for a laugh (or jiggle if you dare). We swear we won't disappoint.

Little People Fireworks 09.07.2026

Missy's carnal knowledge expands rapidly this week, Dear Listener, as romping rabbits and randy riff-raff combine in a Fourth of July extravaganza. Amy escapes flaming mortar fire and lives to tell the tale. And Missy runs through her mystery list of movies you think you'll know, but actually, do you? Laugh along with one hand firmly clutching your pearls this week, friends. Don't say we didn't wa...

Big Vice Energy 02.07.2026

We're breaking the law in Utah this week, Dear Listener, and not a single soul died in the making of our cult. ( You're welcome. ) Missy runs through the list of strange laws still hindering our weekends, and Amy ponders the lifelong habit of always being second in command. There's silliness, soul-searching and of course, light S&M. Join us for dinner, won't you? Yes, Chef.  

Sex Tapes and Bungee Jumps 25.06.2026

Oh my goodness we come right out of the gate swinging this week, Dear Listener, with tales of sex tapes (real and homemade). We quickly pivot to shockingly descriptive talky-talk about sexuals of every age, but don't fret. We eventually move on. Turn us on at work, kids!

Hoarders vs Leprosy: Who Will Win? 18.06.2026

We're exploring the dissapointments of the Golden Generation, Dear Listener, and boy do we have a Top 10 list for you. Spoiler Alert: they fail, spectacularly. Missy makes it through another Niece-based milestone. And Amy tastes all the worst ice creams, kinda. Laugh along and share with a friend. Karma will thank you. 

Bob Schwartz Is Not A Bad Boy 11.06.2026

He just plays one on TV. This week, we cover even more made-up sex quirks (you be the judge!), the joys of internet vigilanteism, and birth order: the relationship edition. So much nonsense to laugh at. So few brain cells. Join us, won't you? We've got a whole week's worth of giggles in the next hour and three minutes. Love ya. Mean it. 

Missy Is Hilarious 04.06.2026

As if we didn't know, Dear Listener. This week, we cover Drunken Tacos (Bean Edition), Spurs recaps, Man's Work and all things for which we are grateful. Chiefly, the all new Doritos dusted menu at Taco Bell. (Don't knock it till you steal it.) Plus, Amy attends a dance recital (the HORRuhh), Missy witnesses a Foot Fungus performance artist, and we both question the ongoing stupidity of the human...

Love, Marriage and Deer Babies 28.05.2026

It's Deer Season, Dear Listener, and love is in full bloom on Missy's lawn. Again. This week, we discuss new love, marital love, platonic love and of course, divorce. As you do. 

Jesus, Amy, Get It Together 21.05.2026

Oh, Dear Listener, what's to be done... our fair friend Amy has done it again with mic problems, tardiness problems and worst of all, mental problems (but what's new, truly). We're coming to you just in time for Memorial Day with thoughts and stories to distract you, charm you and delight you on the road to an extra day off. Missy even regails us with a trip down Sweaty Gym Lane complete with thos...

Reclaiming Our Prime 14.05.2026

LISTENER FEEDBACK ALERT! LISTENER FEEDBACK ALERT! We can hardly believe it but we received an actual letter from an advice-seeking human. (And our advice is cracker jack.)  Kneading a little Mother's Day inspiration? Take a tip from Ethan, who conned Melissa into making not one, not two, but three kinky breads for him to take back to Pittsburgh, all on her special day. Then, we jump to the main ev...

The Sex Hotel 07.05.2026

So we visited a sex hotel this week, Dear Listener, and Missy's not sure how to feel about it. Mainly because Amy both experienced Mean Weed and Frenched up on everyone with her secret linguistic prowess. There were sexy border agents, cannibus-fueled bullying and a special parade of Canada's finest pedopolice. It was a lot. But also, the best. Come along for the ride. We don't dissapoint. 

He Is Your Ziploc Bag 30.04.2026

Oh my gUUDness, Dear Listener, if you only knew. This week, we cover all the things "for which Missy is grateful," including the blessings of a good vibe, excellent planning skills and a deliciously robust birthing canal. Plus, basketball stadium hijinks, kiddies come home and the Sex Hotel: a Prologue. 

A Poo Museum? Who Knew! 23.04.2026

Oh my terrible goodness, Dear Listener, the ladies are back at it again. This time, we skewer circuses, wedding crasher, dining on planes and (everyone's favorite!) suprise fecal showers. Can't make this shit up, friends. Literally. So once again, thank you for sharing a laugh or 10 with us. Unlike every person who wandered into the Poo Museum, we're so glad you're here. 

Get Drunk for Free 16.04.2026

Drunken Excellence, Sober Edition: Amy takes a test that involves focus and suprisingly aces it. "I fun fun!" Also on the docket: young adult debacuhery goes international, the endless joy of earning gold stars, Missy's delicate relationship with the illusion of control. Surprise!
