Description

Real friends. Real funny. We swear. Like, a lot. Join us for unscripted, uncensored, and definitely unsuitable-for-work comedy conversation about relationships, marriage, friendship, sex, hope, parenting and prospering at midlife. It's like grabbing a weekly cocktail with your favorite girlfriends for a candid look at life that lifts you up as it pulls you in. From religion to porn to money, fears, our bodies, our brains, secrets, failures, food, family and finding your path, almost nothing is off-limits (except politics — gross). Longtime friends Melissa Brilliant and Amy Fugazi overshare about everything with the love and trust that only comes from a lifetime of being there for each other. So cut through the fake friends who try to glamourize all the BS masquerading as midlife. We're the bawdy, brutally honest best friends you never knew you had. And we always pick up the check. Love us? Tell your friends. Hate us? Tell your therapist.

Camping Out and Paying Extra

2026/10/22

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.

Surprise! Everything Works Out

2026/10/15

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.

Hell Hath No Fury

2026/10/08

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

Bama Mom and Troll Hunting

2026/10/01

High Crimes and Algorhythms

2026/09/24

Prison Ozempic

2026/09/17

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).

Your Boyfriend Stinks

2026/09/10

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.

The Things We Value

2026/09/03

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.

Rage Bait

2026/08/27

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.

Shopping Malls and College Calls

2026/08/19

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.

Supernatural Boobies

2026/08/12

We're entering a new an unexplored area of friendship this week, Dear Listener, and Missy is about to be blindsided. Don't worry — she comes out unscathed. Well, only slightly scathed. Find yoour favorite socks and buckle up. It's about to be a supremely wild ride. Love you. Mean it.

Margate Missy Makes It Happen

2026/08/06

Dear Listener... if you only knew.

Medium Problems

2026/07/30

Small Medium Large are the concerns we face, Dear Listener, particularly as it pertains to dog poop. Missy lives the dream that is managing a household of various dependencies, and Amy is stomped on yet again by all her reaction-loving friends. It's another whirlwind romp through the lives of your favorite giggle friends. Laugh along and let us know what you think. (Believe me, we hear it all the time.)

StankaFinger

2026/07/23

It's Birthday Season, Dear Listener, and Missy is here with a fresh batch of learnings from her sage ole life. Amy inexplicably befouls her fingers. And we both explore the magic of pop up everything (don't be gross). Froyo, anyone?

Uncomfortabler Still

2026/07/16

Smells like goats at the fair in here, Dear Listener, and it's all thanks to you. Back again this week is Mormon Soaking, explosive diarrhea and everyone's favorite, Looking Back On My Past Behavior. Did we mention the balls? Join us for a laugh (or jiggle if you dare). We swear we won't disappoint.
