Comedic actress Ivy Wolk, known for her roles in indie hits like Anora and English Teacher, dives into her journey from a Disney-approved child star to an indie darling. She shares hilarious audition stories, critiques big production aesthetics, and reflects on her unique comedic style. The conversation takes a turn as they explore the phenomenon of straight men acting discreetly, examine societal double standards, and chat about the dynamics of nightlife and community. Ivy's insights on identity and image paint a vivid picture of her comedic world.

The hosts dive into the controversial idea of Lorde as a gay pop diva and debate childhood favorites we now despise. They tackle whether attraction in stand-up helps comedians and reflect on the cultural gendering of protein. Engaging with listeners, they explore the dynamics of dating someone kind but lacking knowledge and recommend diverse reads. Humor ensues as they ponder how many concussions Zach Braff deserves for cash, weaving in light-hearted topics with deeper discussions about identity and pop culture.

This week, we're thrilled to have Adam Friedland (the Carrie Bradshaw of the straight podcasting community) on the show.

This week we are back in New York and joined by toast of the town Morgan Bassichis. After the run of their incredible show "Let Me Be Frank," we couldn't wait to have them on to promote the idea that the show is now over. We cover everything from what qualifies someone to be a therapist, the eroticism of the normal couple, and whether it's healthier to look at dicks or old photos of Kristin Davis all day long. All in all, we're just grateful that we've been given the space.

Kay Poyer has lived many lives — goth club regular, antique store worker, Substack diva — and it's all been leading to this: her debut on the gay podcast StraightioLab. We chat about the differences between straight and gay hookup culture, between millennials and Gen Z, between the internet and real life, and of course between people who are annoying and people who are normal!

New Season Starts Now! And we're kicking it off with a pillowy soft launch where George and Sam catch up on all the most pressing issues. Issues like: Are pop stars getting shorter? Is gay sluttiness supposed to stay in the closet? And do we need to create new clothes for men? Get ready to get DEEP into the psyche of two gay guys in horrible moods and kick off the new season with a commitment to truth (which is beauty btw).
