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""?

Recorded the exact moment it got dark outside on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, this episode unlocked something very dark within us that will be studied by social scientists for generations... Our dear friend Dash Turner joins us to chat about his twisted heterosexual habits and the healing power of Call of Duty. Plus: What kinds of injuries are gay and which ones are straight? Is breaking a bone just a test to see if you can "pull it off"?

What does it mean to be a sister? Is it different than having a sister? And where do brothers fit in? These are just some of the questions that we bravely tackle this week with sister and writer/star of the new play "It's My Sister" Casey Jane Ellison.

Recorded two days after the election, this episode is raw, real, and occasionally incoherent in ways few other podcasts would dare to be. We're joined by our dear and delightful friend Tim Platt, whose debut comedy album Teeth Like Beak is now available on all platforms, to talk about a true straight classic: acoustic guitar covers. Was the guitar scene in the Barbie movie hack or revolutionary? Should Ben Folds be tried at the Hague? And finally: At what point does critiquing something by calling it straight lose its edge? When we say so, bitch.
