Brilliant Observations

Looking for a laugh while you clean the house, set the table, prep the food or...let's be honest, grab a menu and the remote ("Alexa, call GrubHub")? We've got you covered. We're releasing the show two days early so you'll have ample time to delay making your favorite holiday dishes. Like what you hear? Share it with family and friends who are hopefully stuck home alone just like you — #STAYtheFUCKhome — so they can join the sidesplitting, "sides"giving fun. We'll even bring the creamed corn. Ew.

We're thankful for you, as always Dear Listener. Find us on the socials @ListenBrilliant, email at [email protected] or give at Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations.

The only people traveling for Thanksgiving are death wish assholes. Sadly, Amy was temporarily among them.

Listen with disgust as we talk holiday traditions decimated by covid and other peppy stories. And please note: we recorded and edited this episode roughly three weeks before Thanksgiving... so in the time it took to release the show, Amy has since changed her mind about travel. She and her family will all be celebrating the holiday at their individual homes this year.

So as it turns out, be like Amy.

Wash your hands, kids! Melissa takes Ethan on a college road trip, and worries she may have reached the end of her parenting journey. Naturally, our thoughts turn to last week's Fan Favorite, the Humping Phase, otherwise known as the magical milestone when kindergarteners learn to twerk it during naptime. (Trust her. She's certified.)

Join us as we work through the ups and downs (as well as the up-down-up-down) of planning for a covid soaked everything, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, college, and the great beyond.

Face it. We all need a little relief at this point. But holy hand cream, Jeffrey Toobin. Did you really have to jerk it at work? You be the judge, along with Amy that is, who makes no BONEs about her opinion. So grab the tissues, pervs. It's going to be a GRIPPING conversation.

Plus, if it wasn't obvious enough already, we do everything we can to avoid talk of the election altogether with our first annual Best Of the Year list — 2020 style. Which, of course, means it kinda sucks.

Missy takes a road trip and rekindles her love of loosely baked cookie toppings. Then, we see who has what it takes to lead a cult. Hint — if you're willing to place a political sign in your yard, you might not be that far off. We're up, we're down, we're eating off the ground. Must be 2020!

Missy drops some big news about E's college prospects...and Amy drops to the floor. Spoiler alert: burnout is real, and it's spectacular. Plus Facebook overshares, Australian downloads and general malaise. It's all part of our Third Act. Sorta.

Missy has a Vulcan mind-meld with her Foxy Boxy Peleton instructor. Amy makes good with Jon Bukenas. And hypnotists everywhere beware — we're skeptical.

So, our humble little podcast is rising in the comedy charts. This week, we discuss porn. Coincidence? And before you get all hot and bothered with anticipation, allow us to disappoint. Our discussion focuses on all you liars out there. At least according to Missy's "research." Add to the debate on Facebook at BrillObs Squad, or support us on www.Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations . And we'll keep coming every week. (See what we did there?) [email protected] www.BrilliantObservations.com

Missy kicks off Yom Kippur with a traditional apology while Amy's eye gently weeps. Don't worry. It's just puss.

Learn the secrets behind chaffles — a delightfully savory cross between a grilled cheese and a waffle — and the best way to combat college application stress in the time of covid. Still want more? Find us on Facebook at BrillObs Squad and join the group for free.
