Today we're thrilled to have Catherine Cohen on to help us break the seal of yet another national tragedy.

Stream Catherine's new special "Come For Me" and listen to her new album "Overdressed" on all platforms!

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.

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?
