It’s Public Intellectual Day at StraightioLab HQ as we welcome The New Yorker’s Doreen St. Félix to the lab to talk about, quite simply, EVERYTHING: the semiotics of handbags, Lizzo’s Pass, the many of Joan Didion, and of course the state of religion in the United States of America.

Today we have comedian Ali Macofsky on to discuss the controversies surrounding today's American Royalty. That's right, the YouTube personalities. We ask if Hawk Tuah is innocent, figure out what's going on emotionally with the gay barstool fans, and we discover together what Brianna Chickenfry's whole deal is. And we dream of a future where maybe celebrities are so small that they're just random people on the street. Let's go girls!

This week we have comedian and paranormal expert Roz Hernandez on the podcast to talk about our galactic neighbors who refuse to introduce themselves formally: UFO's. Why do they only go to rural areas? What's with all the probing? And what the hell are crop circles? Plus, we invent a new line of clothes for Everlane, discuss the difference between transitioned and transitioning lenses, and make a connection about magazines that may leave you stunned.

This week Richard Perez returns to the podcast to talk about the topic of Toys, which is actually very personal to all of us because we actually played with toys when we were children. Today we're asking what happens when a boy likes a girl toy? What about when a boy just straight up likes trucks? And are some toys worth nearly dying for? Yes! Plus we talk bombing, how any movie that is ever made is a miracle, and we introduce over three new spinoff podcasts. Listen to this ep and then go see Richard on tour this spring!

Five years ago, comedian, writer, and actress Amy Zimmer (Stress Positions, Problemista) first joined us to discuss the premiere of recording artist Lady Gaga's single "Rain on Me." Today she returns to the lab on account of the release of the album MAYHEM. All of it is addressed.

Attention all dermotologists! Today we have Claudia O'Doherty to do your job for you and tell the world to wear sunscreen whether you are gay or straight. Plus, we explore the new ways that people are telling us to feel bad about our faces, Sam addresses the scowling rumors (of which there are many!), and we figure out how Australian people feel about "naur." Another beautiful cultural exhange of an episode.

So raise your glass if you are wrong... in all the STRAIGHT ways?! Our dear friend Daniel D'Addario, whose juicy new novel THE TALENT is out TODAY, joins us to chat about Sam's mom's favorite musical artist — the one and only P!nk. From candle-buyers to SoulCycle enthusiasts to folks who just love a good old-fashioned circus moment, America simply cannot get enough of Miss Alecia Moore. We investigate why. Plus: What are our favorite "bitchy" moments from Dan's book, and which of his characters have us raising our paws up and screaming "Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na"?

Love is in the air on today's ep, but not just any love. A very special love. That's right, we're referring to the love between a podcast hosting duo and their very special guest aka between Sam and George and today's amazing guest D'Arcy Carden. It's an electric ep that discusses everything from water bottle culture, the rules of power, Hollywood writer's room paparazzi, SNL background work, and of course the cunty go girl herself: Cupid. This episode is chock full and yet? We want to do it all over again!
