From candle-buyers to SoulCycle enthusiasts to folks who just love a good old-fashioned circus moment, America simply cannot get enough of Miss Alecia Moore. We investigate why.

Today we're joined by comedian (and Sam's After Midnight coworker) Skyler Higley to travel down that ole country road to the topic we all grew up with: Hometown Pride. That's right, we're going back to where it all began where the trucks are big as houses and the sporting events feel war-adjacent. Plus, we talk about our work personas, what screeds we should all be releasing, and the ethics of carrying a grown man like a baby in a pool. This should solve everything.

Happy New Year's Eve Glamour Girls! Enjoy this re-release episode with Esther Fallick which was named one of The Best Comedy Moments of 2024 by Vulture and NY Mag!In one of our most intellectual episodes EVER (and that's saying a LOT), we welcome reformed Disney adult Esther Fallick to chat about museums with slides in them—as in slides that you slide down, much like in a playground. We're talking the Museum of Ice Cream, the Museum of Sex, the Museum of Broadway... basically any museum-like establishment that is proudly anti-art! Questions include: Would institutions like this exist if we had universal healthcare? Was Ronald Reagan the original Madame Web? What makes someone a ""subject"" and what makes someone an ""object""? Are we good at identifying ""cultural rot""? Well... kind of!
