Brilliant Observations

Some things are just worth the money, Dear Listener, and we're here to tell you that sleeping overnight in a supermarket parking lot is not one of them. We cover all the usual suspects this week, including forcible uterine removal, veterinary social workers, alcohol induced spontaneous urination and, everyone's favorite, ring shopping.

It's anniversaries and procedures and cocktails and annoyance this week, Dear Listener, and we're coming in hot with a spoiler: it all works out. Join us for a brief glimpse into making it through another week at midlife (emphasis on the life part). We love you. We do.

Sweet mother of long car trips, kids. You're in for something today.

I was not a member of the Jury, Dear Listener, but even I know that being fat is not a crime. Missy shephards us through the latest reality show phenomenon (Hint hint: it's Baseball). And both Amy and Melissa complete their first week on Plan Squat (and live to tell the tale).

It's Adult Children Report Card Week, Dear LIstener, and Missy has once again earned straight As. The wedding was a smash success, Amy recovers from moving (boxes? her body?) and a new sniff-this! study teaches us that researchers are spending way too much time investigating the wrong things.

Oh, Kenny! We're taking a page out of Dolly's playbook and using our powers for good this week, Dear Listener. So join us as we sprinkle positivity and giggly-fied, googly eyed brightness as far as our voices will carry. If you get a kick out of laughing along each week, tell the person next to you. Share the show link. Watch them listen, their shoulders soften, and your own heart warm just a bit as they enter the next breath of their life with a smile. Think of it as your good deed for the day. And it's just what Dolly would have wanted.

Another week, another reason for the world to drive Melissa certifiably bonkers. We send another round the kiddos off to school, and Four Seasons pulls through in the clutch.

Oh, the glorious season of spending is upon us, Dear Listener, as both Missy and Amy prepare to send yet another young one off to the great and Ivory-towered abyss. And somehow, through it all, we still manage to engage in a lively debate about the glory hole (would you, though?). Brilliant observations, indeeeeeeeeeeed.
