  • Straight SHOOTERS 💜

    Incredible show! One of my favorite podcasts hosted by the two of the most honest and trustworthy guys in the biz. My favorite segment is of course Straight Shooters! I shudder to think about the show without it, but I know that would never happen because Sam and George are comedians of integrity!! Keep it up boys!

  • Never change

    Amazing podcast. Straight shooters is my favorite segment and never have I been more angry than when the Hollywood handbook guys disrespected this game. They've made an enemy for life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Pajamas & Comfy Clothes" w/ Rose Dommu
Q: What you have to know about me is that I'm an empath and I know those ballet dancers are not having good lives. They are, they all have body dysmorphia.
The group discusses the pressures and physical demands of ballet, including dance belts, costumes, and whether nudity would interfere with lifts and movement.
"Pajamas & Comfy Clothes" w/ Rose Dommu
Q: So tell us what's straight about comfy clothes slash PJs.
Rose Dommu says straight people often change into pajamas or comfy clothes as soon as they get home, and may wear conspicuously casual clothing in public. The hosts compare this with queer people dressing up or going naked at home.
"Sweet Caroline" w/ Lindsey Weber
Q: Does, like, is she aware of you? Like, is she ever reaching out and be like, hey, you guys, shut the fuck up?
Weber says Bebe Rexha has not contacted the podcast and that she prefers celebrities not to engage with it, believing the show's commentary has developed into admiration and fandom.
"Sweet Caroline" w/ Lindsey Weber
Q: When is the influencer era gonna be over? And B, I want to know, like, when someone goes on a show, like an Instagram-focused show, to promote a project, that project is never promoted. Is anyone ever like figure out that that's not helpful?
Weber says these appearances are often designed to keep a celebrity's face in the public eye while letting them avoid personal topics and follow-up questions. The hosts and Weber suggest the approach keeps promotion light and inoffensive, although it can still remind viewers about a project.
Straightio Rewind: "Maps" w/ Emmy Blotnick (Feb. 21, 2023)
Q: Emmy, what led you to maps as a straight topic?
Emmy explains that being married to a straight man highlighted how maps and directions became a source of practical frustration, which sparked a broader curiosity about their cultural implications and how straight culture uses maps as symbols and performance pieces.
