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.

Today we are joined by nightlife legend and general encyclopedia Charlene Incarnate to talk about theater. That's right, theater is straight. Before you get out your pitchforks and torches, maybe you should listen to some of her incredible points that are backed by peer-reviewed data. Plus, we talk about the types of gay guys who play tennis, the chastity play of living in New York City, and the waves of gay in pop music. This is an ep will show you what it means...to be memorable.

Forget everything you know, because today's episode with the one and only Martine (Fantasmas, Los Espookys) takes every existing paradigm, turns it upside down, and shakes it VIOLENTLY until nothing remains but a big, gaping vacuum of endless possibility. Stream "Fantasmas" on Max... if you are a true Rebel Heart.

Today we're joined by Stavros Halkias whose new movie "Let's Start A Cult" is out October 25th. We discuss the most groundbreaking topics from Greek stereotypes that are actually true for most people, Stavros' big sober year, and the politics of having a cold in the year 2024. Plus, we talk mancaves and wonder: would straight people rather build another room in their house instead of having a coversation? Many are saying yes!

We're all familiar with the classic American flag, which celebrates values like freedom, Big Gulps, and flawless foreign policy. But what if it had no colors and was stitched onto a vest worn by a really scary man in the woods? Today we talk about the world of all-black American flags with certified naturista Joe Castle Baker. Plus: What if Paul Hollywood and Guy Fieri made love?

Today is a red letter day at Straighio HQ for two reasons. First is that we got to have the incredible James Adomian on the podcast whose new special "The Path Of Most Resistance" is available now. The second reason is that we have finally created an episode where you can take clips out of context that make us look like we're spreading insane conspiracy theories. We knew it was bound to happen one day! Plus, we talk about the burgeoning arts scene of Penn Station, outfit backlash, and how does one get "gay voice." Listen now before we re-classify the whole ep!

It was... SASHEER all along?! This week we're joined once again by our dear friend Sasheer Zamata, star of Marvel's Agatha All Along on Disney+, to chat about the concept of giving your house guests hospital-like SHOE COVERS for them to wear in your HOME! The questions of course are endless: What is everyone afraid of? Are feet the most stigmatized body part? Is a more foot-positive future even possible? Well how about you put on those "ear covers" (headphones) and find out for yourself!

Can watching a movie make you smart? No. But it can trick you into feeling smart and that's the magic of cinema. This week we're joined by notable comedian and Sam coworker Sophie Buddle to talk all things about the king of making people feel smart: Christopher Nolan. Plus, we unpack which actresses are gay guy actresses and which aren't, what it means to view America from an outside perspective, and how LA people are having their cake and eating it too.
