Brilliant Observations

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...

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?  Share it with a friend via text...

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....

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 clo...

Life's a beach, kids. And then you die. Join Amy as she whips Melissa into a seafoam scented frenzy over the final weeks of her supah stressful beach house construction project. If that's not entertaining enough, we give you... the Walt Disney Resorts Retirement Community, and our personal favorite, Frozen Finnish Dick. (You're welcome.)   Love this episode?  Share it with a friend via text messag...

Looking for a little excitement? Listen in as master practitioner Amy loses her mind in ecstacy while playing a meaningless college graduates quiz. There's also a quick Oylmpics recap, a pedagogical review of the unreasonable expectations of public educators in the United States, and a ratings scale for fast food French Fries. Of course there is.   Love this episode? Share it with a friend via tex...

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, t...

Melissa makes a tragic attempt at elevating the humble pierogi above the world's greatest food. Spoiler Alert: it's ravioli.  Plus, Amy falls down on public transportation (again), takes a strong position on dagger-length fingernails and somehow admits to never having tasted salmon.  Thank God Melissa is there with TikTok vaginal hair trends (she's such a tease), Sex in the City hair trends and ex...

So as Amy and Melissa scramble the jets to fly three-quarters of the way across the country for a weeklong commune in the desert with their fellow podcasting elites, we thought we'd share one of our...

It's the marital vibrators episode, featuring "used" lube. Good thing my husband doesn't listen to this podcast.  Not sure what else there is to say here, really. Because after that opening sentence you're either all the way in or 2,000% out. #podcastmath If You Love Brilliant Observations Comedy Podcast Looking for a few likeminded, strong female centric podcasts to love?
