With so much extra content, I got ahead of myself... and then fell behind. Thankfully, a few blessed fans reminded us both to look at a friggin calendar. Apologies, friends. Call it a covid-fart. 

As if we didn't have enough to deal with, good ole Kenny Rogers up and cashed in his chips. (He always said you gotta know when to fold 'em.) Hear the shocking degree of investment Melissa has in the Gambler, while Interrupting Amy bumbles and stumbles her way through a handful of Kenny Rogers favorites. Sort of.  Beyond that sad bit of news, we do our best to keep the topics light, the conversation flowing and the observations brilliant, just as you'd expect from your favorite comedy duo. With a little extra shade for the double-edged sword of Zoom meetings thrown in for good measure.  It's all that and more on the latest sparkly installment of your friendly neighborhood podcast, Brilliant Observations. Remember gang, we're coming to you live from a global pandemic, so please excuse us if we're a little rough around the edges. And on that note.  If you work in the health care field in any capacity, we see you. We're profoundly grateful for you. We're worried for you, and with you. We don't know how you do it

Not gonna lie, kids. This covid thing is making us all a little skitchy. We take a stand on paper displays of affection — public displays of affliction? — throughout our respective neighborhoods and generally talk ourselves into a lockdown stupor.

We love you and appreciate you, dear listener. Even when you can’t be bothered to listen to the show. We get it. Just wash your hands, guys. We’ll be here when you’re ready.

Talk about social distancing... What do you do with a neighbor who throws rocks at your dog BEFORE we even start to quarantine?

Potatoes are not suppositories. If that’s where we start, you can imagine where the conversation flows on the latest episode of your favorite comedy conversation podcast, Brilliant Observations. In Tales of the Male Tail, Part 2, Missy unpacks the surprise popularity of inserting cold potatoes into one’s rectum. Hint: don’t. From there, we move on to the sheer stupidity of the Skull Challenge, followed by a rousing round of “how did we get here,” the parenting edition. Ethan is propositioned by a friend, Petey receives unexpected nudes and Rocco receives the news of his life.

What’s better than a vagicle? How about a chocolate boob? Good news, dear listener! In this episode of your favorite chat podcast, Melissa and Amy serve up BOTH! It all starts when Amy accidentally drops a poop-shaped chocolate blob betwixt her breasts at a formal event (and puts the FUN in fundraiser). You’d think she would have noticed with all the accidental flapping, courtesy of a complete fail of her beloved “tit tape.” She then proceeds to cop a feel at a table full of complete strangers before lighting the bread bowl on fire. All in all… it’s just a typical black tie gala. In normal news, Missy flip her lid — cliterally — with tales of her brand new albeit slightly used inversion table. Follow that up with a mouth-watering pancake board, custom flavor hamantaschen and (you guessed it!) public child beating. Must be Brilliant Observations! We invite you to join the conversation — warts and all — and share your love for Brilliant Observations with a friend. It’s a comedy chat conversation podcast that ke

Listen with judgy fascination as Missy shares tales of friends who Sh*t Rainbows, enjoy perfectly sparkly little lives and somehow still don’t find what they’re looking for. Then, things take a turn after a tough week as Amy’s train falls off the rails (again) and heads straight into a drive-thru. Hear the whole sordid affair as her Milkshake drags all the boys to the car, literally. If that’s not embarrassing enough, darling Melissa asks the world’s most innocent question about what might make you feel embarrassed if someone else knew, and for some reason Amy answers it in endless, honest detail. Listen with horror as Amy inexplicably bares her charred and blackened financial soul. Why? Because that’s what friends do, friends. They tell each other scary things, and then they listen. So if you’re a regular just-trying-to-make-it-in-this-hard-cold-world person, we invite yo

Ever wonder what Gwyneth Paltrow’s privates smell like? I sure didn’t.

But don’t worry, kids! Hosts Melissa Really-Is Brilliant and Amy Are-You-Kidding-Me Fugazi bring it back around with tales of their recent weekend getaway, dreams for a better future, and a scathing rebuke of a religious zealot hell-bent on thwarting his descent into sin with a very public yet very private prayer-filled airplane phone call.  It’s a lot for an hour.
