Oh, the siliness of our deeply bumpy brains. It's Brazilian Carnivale season, Dear Listener, and even those bare bottomed beauties are not enough to lure Amy out of the Heated Rivalry cuckhold that currently dominates her mindspace. (Not to worry. Missy cuts all that out.) Skipping ahead to the lies we tell ourselves, we wander through the Forest of Dark Thoughts only to emerge on Cottage Cheese Beach arm in arm. Loving you more than you think this week, Dearest Follower. And now, an ask: can you send Missy a smile? Insta, TikTok, Facebook: listenbrilliant. Email: [email protected] .

Missy meets a cash-toting stranger on her front porch and happily lives to tell the tale (for once, Stuart and Amy are on the ESSSHthaccct ShhhhAme Payyge). Missy's Ambien-induced shopping takes a heartwarming turn. And Amy slathers her soul in liquid butter. It's binge-listening at it's finest, Dear Listener, with plenty of innuendo, intrigue and closed circuit TV footage to keep things interesting. Chuckles and love, sweet peeps.

If the internet has taught us anything it's that cameras are everywhere, Dear Listener. And boy howdy do they love pancakes. Join us as we discuss directional flatulence, sexy smoking, the Real Housewives of the Main Line and Missy's favorite new word. It's been a week, friends. And we're here for it.

Stiff nipples, the specter of nudity and proud venereal disease test results combine in this nonsensical wintry mix, and can we just say we're here for all of it, Dear Listener. So shake off those shivery duldrums and indulge in a cheery chat about all things silly. It's the laugh you need to jumpstart your week. Love it. Love you. Clothes and all.

Snowpacalypse. Sandwhiches of Many Lands. And texts we'd rather not be a part of. What more could you wish for this week, Dear Listener, except maybe... maybe... even more Heated Rivaly perversion. Will it ever end? We hope not. Meantime, please remember to shine brightest in your little corner of the world. You never know who relies upon you to feel the light. Love you. Mean it.

It's a Heated Rivalry takeover, Dear Listener, with tales of German funk stank, ladies scooping for gold and the sexiest of date night meals, the tuna melt. Missy leads us through a game of Guess Who's In the Orange Jumpsuit Crew. And Amy recaps her Italian visit with sights, sounds and yes, truly authentic smells inspired by Ilya and Shane themselves. There's love, there's sex, there's an abundance of cheese (all kinds). Join us, won't you? Promise to make you laugh.

Celebrity guest Jessica Kupferman discussed Heated Rivalry, Fish, and Internet Revenge Posting. Enjoy!

Stranger Things gets stranger still as the gals recap their New Year. Amy goes on a seafood deep dive. Missy works through the perils of the mixed company New Year's Eve table. And Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen bring us all down with yet another cat butt bummer of a ball drop. (Bless em.)

Oh my gosh my golly, Dear Listener, Amy is wandering into parked cars by mistake again. Will wonders never cease? Missy regails us with visions of positivity, and reveals the suprising truth about your most toxic trait (hint: it's not butthole hair). We each select our favorite Muppet to explore in a new way, and Missy covers the world's weirdest AITA. And just like that, 2025 sees its last episode for the year.

Hapy Hanukah, Merry Christmas and a Joyous Festivus to the Rest of Us, Dear Listener. We're serving up this special silliness with just you mind. So plug in, press play and let the nonsense of the moment drift for a bit. We couldn't be prouder to share this with you. SWEAR.
