Brilliant Observations

Would you tell a friend when she's being annoying? Our fear-y (fear-based-theory) is that you wouldn't even notice. This is America, after all. We're losing all the filters now — behavior, language, boundaries, civility, common sense… and now, airplane etiquette.

Amy gets an unexpected lunch invite from an old friend for no reason. Is this just to catch up (please, please, please), or will Amy walk away with a new Life Coach (oh, no)? Check please!

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 [email protected], 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."

Melissa loses her "button," Mallory fights her fears, and Amy refuses to check a suspicious mole. It's all part of the glamorous job on the middle-aged BrillObs Mom Squad.

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.
