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.

Today we are once again joined by our friend and STAR of the new off-broadway play "Messy White Gays" Aaron Jackson. We talk about our run-in with the often misunderstood James Corden, what it could mean from a medical standpoint to sweat too much, and how there are only fifteen guys in the world who "get us." Plus, is musical theater straight? Can gay guys sexualize the Wicked soundtrack? And is theater training akin to a military background? Probably!

Today we're joined by global indie darling and world's youngest woman Ivy Wolk (Anora, English Teacher, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You) to go absolutely buck wild in Zohran Mamdani's New York! We chat about George and Ivy's auditions for a social justice sketch comedy group, what our roles will be when the revolution comes, Ivy's previous life as a Disney-approved child star, and why there is an epidemic of straight men acting DL!

We're taking your calls this week and we're NOT happy about it. Is Lorde a gay pop diva? Is there such a thing as a perfect movie? How many concussions would we give Zach Braff for cash? Can you transition into a gay guy and still listen to indie rock? Who are our voice icons? And finally...what is a piece of media did you love as a child that now you hate? You're about to find out!

Charisma is back in a big way this week as we welcome one of our favorite girls on the planet Monét X Change to chat about going Parvati Mode on the "Survivor Influencer Experience," podcast beefs, Joy Behar's soothing voice, and why some men are ponies and some men are horses.

This week, we're thrilled to have Adam Friedland (the Carrie Bradshaw of the straight podcasting community) on the show. We go "Jon Stewart mode" as we talk about which Sex And The City boyfriends deserve a little more credit, the many different ways a marriage proposal can go wrong, and the limits of arguing with someone's lived experience. Plus, we finally find out if straight guys know about Addison Rae, and it's a resounding "sort of."

Is going home a hostile act? This week we have Jo Sunday on to argue that it just may be! Plus, is it possible to not know who the Spice Girls are? Should everyone have guest beds in their house? And at what point does a new mom have to stop saying she's "new"? We think never!!!

This week's episode with Maggie Winters has everything. The model to schoolteacher pipeline. A government conspiracy about where all the new slang is REALLY coming from. And a public callout to the Nolita-based bagel place that nearly ruined George's big brunch. Plus, we discuss Burger King, the fast food restaurant with the lowest self-esteem. Believe in yourself, king!
