Summary

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!

0:00.0	Hootie-hoo and Happy New Year. Today we are re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from this past year with our dear friend Esther Fowlick because it was just named one of the top comedy moments of the year by Vulture in New York Magazine.
0:13.1	And to be more specific, it was actually something Esther said on the episode that was named one of the top comedy moments of the year.
0:18.5	But of course, we are taking credit for it
0:20.8	because, you know, we're the ones who provided her the platform to say it, which is actually
0:24.4	more important if you think about it. So there you go. Thank you, Jason P. Frank, for including it
0:29.6	in the list. Thank you, Vulture, as always. And enjoy. Go see Esther Live in 2025. Go follow her on
0:36.2	all platforms. Have that lovely New Year's Eve. And we will be back with new episodes starting next week. And if you're in San Francisco, don't forget to buy tickets to our first live show of the year on January 17th at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco for SF Sketch Fest. It's going to be an incredible show. We can't wait to see you. You can find the ticket link on our Instagram bio or on the Cobbs Comedy Club website. And it's going to be

1:22.4	Wow.
1:23.0	You know, we were just talking about the whole thing of Jeremy Strong at some point
1:26.6	in the last two years saying
1:27.7	the word dramaturgically. Yeah. And then everyone suddenly being like, what the hell is this
1:32.0	F slur on about? Yeah, they tore him to shreds for saying the word dramaturgically. He's an actor.
1:37.1	That's like if you went to a business meeting and someone was like, does anyone have the, you know,
1:41.5	metrics? And you were like, the hell is wrong with you. And then you started
1:45.0	chasing him with Spears. Well, we value anti-intellectualism in this country in a way that
1:52.0	is disgusting. It's also like, what do you think makes him such a good actor? It's the fact
1:57.2	that he's insane and went to Juilliard. Well, we were like, no, he's a good actor because he's on TV.
2:01.7	No, no, no.
2:03.2	You're thinking of Priyanka Chopra.
2:07.0	Yeah, not everyone's Priyanka Chopra.
2:09.5	Do you...
