Sh*tting Rainbows | Brilliant Observations Podcast 125Money, Milkshakes, Beauty Pageants and Porn It's the humiliation episode, friends! Listen with judgy fascination as Missy shares tales of friends who Sh*t Rainbows, enjoy perfectly sparkly little lives and somehow still don't find what they're looking for. Then, things take a turn after a tough week as Amy's train falls off the rails (again) and heads straight into a drive-thru. Hear the whole sordid affair as her Milkshake drags all the boys to the car, literally. If that's not embarrassing enough, darling Melissa asks the world's most innocent question about what might make you feel embarrassed if someone else knew, and for some reason Amy answers it in endless, honest detail. Listen with horror as Amy inexplicably bares her charred and blackened financial soul. Why? Because that's what friends do, friends. They tell each other scary things, and then they listen.

Like fruit… a lot? We give #FoodPorn a whole new meaning in our latest Brilliant Observations comedy chat cast featuring cohosts and NSFW friends Melissa Brilliant and Amy Fugazi. We're talking bananas, banana peels, grapefruit holes, cannoli… and anything else you can think to use for that special sexy time (or lunch time, evidently). Follow that up with some mouthwatering ASMR courtesy of an insanely satisfying CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH and you're on your way to a gloriously pleasurable experience. If that isn't enough to get you all hot and bothered, we move on to a rousing discussion of personal accountability and self-flagellation (emphasis on the Flagellating. Flagellatio?). You get the point. We're saucy, snarky and we go there. Wanna come? Click play. Full disclosure: for those of you who have no idea what ASMR means, you're not alone. I actually had to look it up. Here t'is: Auto Meridian Sensory Response or ASMR is a fancy term for a phenomenon more affectionately known as"brain tingles which are triggered by certain sounds" and may or may not be accompanied by equally soothing visuals. Triggers range from specific sounds like a calligraphy pen writing on a piece of paper to personal attention scenarios like getting your hair cut. In almost every video the individual is whispering, and accentuating the smack of their lips. YouTubers known as ASMRtists create trigger videos to appeal to the community at large. While what they do may appear strange to some, favorite ASMRtists can garner millions of views on YouTube. Thanks for listening, kids. And please don't listen with your kids.

Ever wonder what Gwyneth Paltrow's privates smell like? I sure didn't. Unfortunately for us both, the Goop Guru has answered all our unasked, self-involved questions once again with a whole new product designed to titillate and enrage. (She really is a lovely woman.) Follow that up with a rousing game of Guess Whose Dik Pick Is Coming To Dinner, and you've got a freewheeling episode chock full of awkward moments, shocking details and mixed genitalia. But don't worry, kids! Hosts Melissa Really-Is Brilliant and Amy Are-You-Kidding-Me Fugazi bring it back around with tales of their recent weekend getaway, dreams for a better future, and a scathing rebuke of a religious zealot hell-bent on thwarting his descent into sin with a very public yet very private prayer-filled airplane phone call.

Plus a handy list of sexy new shows for your streaming queue starring all the people who starred once in that thing you saw, you know, the one with the guy in it and that other girl, I think, from that show with all the jokes, and like a train? That's the one. It's a New York New Year's, Floridah Hannukah, ChristaMissy, quick look back plus a big leap forward kind of episode.
