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...

The Big Three Oh Oh IYKYK 25.05.2023

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 B...

Talent, Charisma, and Regular Hydration Drinks 18.05.2023

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 11.05.2023

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 03.05.2023

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 20.03.2023

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 s...

Hannukah, Christmas, and the Invisible Onion 21.12.2022

A holiday pre-cap, yesteryear recap, and New Years claptrap all in one. In true Dickensian fashion, Missy is visited by the Ghost of Latkes Past. Amy continues the long slow march up Cookie Mountain (more than a thousand baked and counting). And everyone enjoys a few oddly timed cultural references to herpes, chlamydia, seasonal acne and our favorite, the Invisible Onion. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Christmas Injections 15.12.2022

Behold, the magic of the Missy Gift. Join us, Dear Listener, as Amy bestolls the incandescent joy that is to experience such a miraculous treat. And reminds us all how much we truly suck at gift-giving in comparison. (Just in time for the holidays.)
