"Alien Abductions" w/ Jake Cornell May 12, 2026

Show notes

Just when you thought you could rest easy, we have our dear friend Jake Cornell on the podcast for one of our most tense eps in recent history. We debate everything from the validity of the black square era, to bonding with politically opposite barbers, to what it even means to be in the 1%. Plus, are gay people being abducted by aliens? And if they are, would they even have the language to describe? Likely not! Do your own research and go see Jake on tour!!

One of our all-time faves Amy Zimmer is back in the lab this week to chat about her dramatic turn in the new (and Richard Brody approved!) film Blue Heron! Amy walks us through the surprising ways she made herself cry on camera, explains why she once turned down the juicy role of Joan of Arc, and tells us how a recent fender bender gave her a peek into the soul of America. Plus: Can well-behaved women EVER make history? It depends!

"Drake" w/ Jay Jurden Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

This week we have Jay Jurden back on the podcast to tackle one of the largest looming musicans in the straight male sphere: Drake. That's right we discuss why everything he does is for the boys, why some levels of masculinity can actually hinder your ability to post, and try to connect with the inner child of Aubrey to get things back on track. Plus, should evil people be allowed to work? They're going to anyway! So stream Drake and then stream Jay's new special "Yes Ma'am" on Hulu!

"Men's Red Carpet Grooming" w/ Anania Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

Today we welcome fellow expert in the calling-things-gay-or-straight space Anania to the pod to talk all about this crazy world we call entertainment. We unpack her role in the upcoming Rocky Horror broadway revival, how to make the Oscars a little more juicey, and what the hell is going on when it comes to men's red carpet looks (and lack thereof, sweetie).
