Poor Alec Baldwin. He must feel so terrible now that his wife was accidentally shot and killed at work. Wait —

This week, we dive deep into Listener Feedback, including some Bad Dating Advice, and Missy explores some unusual statutory-rape-age Mormon sex practices courtesy of everyone's fan favorite, TikTok. 

Penny for your Thoughts?
Full disclosure: there is no penny. If you've got four minutes to kill, we'd love for you to waste it taking our Listener Demographic Survey. We'll use this data to lure Russia into overthrowing the midterm elections. And possibly to appease our soon-to-be sponsors. It's all anonymous, kids, so please be honest. 

You can find the survey here:

Or in our Facebook Group, BrillObSquad, which you can join for free by clicking here.

Join our newly formed email list by sending the word SERIOUSLY to BrilliantObservations@gmail.com. We promise not to sell or spam. Or to sell spam. Because that's just gross.

It’s T-minus She Podcasts Live, kids, and Mercury Retrograde is in full effect. This is the conference we've been looking forward to for TWO (count em!) plus covid years, and we're not missing it now.

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 Top 10 Fan Favorite episodes while we're away form our mics.

Don't fret — we'll be back in action long before Thursday with a host of crazy stories, wildly inappropriate tattoos and hopefully a brand new sponsor or two. All that, and possibly some legally procured marijuana gummies should the mood strike us.
(God bless you, Arizona.)

Welp, the day of reckoning is finally here — Melissa's eldest has flown the coop. Then all of the sudden, Missy has something in her eye...

We follow that poignant discussion with an evisceration of "sleeping bras," Brook Shields does Tik Tok, and Missy stans on White Lotus.

Who can make the sun rise? Sprinkle it with dew? Stu! Missy sings the praises of Wynonna Earp, potty humor and the surprising upside of being a Karen. Meanwhile, Amy goes bra shopping and (as usual) forgets how to speak English.

Do Jeff Bezos’s balls taste better dipped in ranch? Spoiler alert: no, no they don’t. Join us as we hate on the Billionaire Boyz Club as they skip out on paying taxes, puff up their own blow holes and buy their way into opportunities that others work their whole lives to be lucky enough to achieve. What, me bitter? (Don’t worry, supporters. Melissa comes to the rescue to defend “this testicled asshole.”)

That fancy vibrator, a Discovery of Cheeses and refusing to call our friends on their own BS. It's enough to make a gal throw a rock through her rear window.  Join Melissa and Amy as they break it all down brilliantly.

Is it important for your friends to like your kids? Follow up question: if so, where might one find new friends? The squeaky pig gets the dog in this all new, topic-packed episode. Ethan enrolls at Pitt and immediately receives a request for “donations." Missy lauds her favorite National Treasure. Amy MacGyvers everything from oil caps to fashion accessories. And a world of weirdos is currently dining in the Wawa parking lot.

Try as he might, Stuart just can’t seem to get the Birthday mojo this year. First it was his No Surprise 50th birthday (Suprise?). Now, the Amazon cart gives him away. Missy tries a new vibrator (zzZzz zZzz zzZZz) and Amy blames the world for her troubles.

Place your bets, gang! Amy tells all from her suspenseful "out of the blue" lunch date with a long lost friend...who has all new pronouns to boot. Missy sends the kids off to camp, and Stuart makes everything about him. As usual.

Ethan makes it through the high school gauntlet unscathed (congratulations!), only to slip into a celebratory stupor courtesy of Dr. Dad's Magic Beer Pong. What is wrong with these people? Missy spends some quality time with her relatives, and learns along with the other Brilliant party guests that murders walk among them.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love yard sales, and everyone else. This week, we revisit the doomed notion of hawking one's castoffs for pennies. Plus, Missy gets verklempt over a particularly poignant fan letter, and Amy harps on more things from 1940 that weren't really a thing.

This week, we talk masturbation. Again. Because let's face it, you're not downloading for an update on the Gaza Strip. 

As always, we beg for your feedback in whatever form you care to give it: on social media at @ListenBrilliant, in our Facebook group BrillObsSquad, via email at BrilliantObservations@gmail.com, on our web site at BrilliantObservations.com, by buying shirts and swag at TeePublic.com/brilliantobservations, or by direct support at Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations, or just by yelling out the window for those ballsy broads to shut the eff up already.

Whatever works for you, Dear Listener. 

(Reviews are nice, too. Only if they're nice reviews though. Rate five stars and speak well of us at Apple. It's a great way to kill time while you're waiting your requisite 15 minutes at the vaccination site. Then, if you do have an adverse reaction, you'll leave this world knowing you've done something good with your life. Win Win.)

It's the Generous Lover episode, featuring all the males we'd like to "aya-eeee." Missy gives a parenting shout out, and Amy mixes up Soledad O'Brien with Soleil Moon Frye (don't we all?). Plus, beach house faucets, Biden photo fails and the Amish girl takes a turn. Buckle up, kids. This is one episode where we can't stop laughing. (MmmmNOPE!)

Detroit pizza. Roller skating. Cocktail parties. And a crisper drawer that borders on porn? This week, Amy pushes her weight loss into high gear, while Missy celebrates her milestone 500th Peleton ride (to great fanfare). Then, we look back over the past 11 months with nostalgia for all the things we as a society no longer know how to do, like make small talk, walk outside without a mask, shut up at the nail salon, or use social media without a “content team.”

They say you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Fortunately for you, we don't count in your total. Listen and laugh as we talk weight loss, poor social media habits, hateful father-daughter photos and waaaay too many jeans.

Amy buys some questionable glasses. Missy can’t decide what’s better — telling a friend the cold hard truth, or being a friend and choosing to “ack…cen…tuate the positive.” Spoiler Alert: we’re not positive. Amy recaps her recent Board of Directors meeting. And our fan favorite segment, Hey, Whatcha Watchin? returns with Netflix reviews of The One, Thunder Force, Yellowstone, Godzilla vs Kong, and the Unified Theory of Stuart, courtesy of a fictitious DNA test. 

And yes, Amy still can’t get over the hummer.

Why at the end of every podcast we have does it Just. Get. GOOD? This week, Amy learns what a hummer is. Or *does* she? Melissa begins the five year process of decluttering her house. And everyone reminisces about the pleasures of Food Factory Tours of Yore. It’s all part of our Things We Do For Our Kids series, also known as Why I Can’t Retire.
