Our big New Year's resolution was to have an amazing episode with Yassir Lester and after today we're pretty much done for the year! We talk about the medical diagnosis of a "sunday scary," why being a Yaris driver is one of the most powerful political statements one can make, and, of course, whether or not Allison Williams ever got tired of having to be Marnie. Plus, can straight people figure out how to use the bluetooth speaker or do they deliberately choose silence? This year we're really getting to the bottom of, well, everything!

This week we are blessed to have Josh Sharp BACK on the pod. We come up with an amazing new tracklist of Kim Petras songs, explain what it means to "be philly", and unpack the band Phish with a LIVE fact checker in the room (because facts matter, y'all). Plus, Josh promotes his new off-broadway show "ta-da!" in a way that is so non-linear that even Greta Gerwig's ass will be sat. Speaking of, get tickets to Josh's show NOW at joshsharptada.com.

Move over, Reese Witherspoon cause there's a new book club in town. That's right, we're kicking off the inaugural StraightioLab Book Club with Jo Firestone's new novel "Murder On Sex Island." We talk about what it means to write a book about sex that has no sex, how a very special "calendar style" edition came to be, and figure out how much of a book you can just riff. Plus, we find out if past lives are real.

In today's instant-classic ep, the one and only Greta Titelman (fresh from her standup television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers) makes her return to the lab to "spray" us with some cold, hard FACTS about one of the most dangerous products in the Life-Threateningly Toxic aisle: Febreze! Plus: When will the hackers release the files? Which public figures are psyops? Are Tod's suede loafers going to make a comeback? We've already said too much. They're listening!

Rev up your engines, LGBTQ+'s, because this week we're talking about motorcycles with notably global drag queen Meatball. Can you do work on a motorcycle and still maintain a sense of femininity? Do you actually need all that leather? And how dangerous are they really? Plus we pitch an amazing new film franchise that will inspire gay youths to join new, inclusive biker gangs. Yay!

Picture this: You tell a straight person you're going through something difficult. How do they respond? This is only one of the many scenarios we explore in today's groundbreaking ep with Liva Pierce! Plus: Is Lady Gaga the ultimate empath? Does being surrounded by women as a toddler make you gay? Is it okay to occasionally be happy about something? How about you stop asking so many questions and hit play... before it's too late.
