About this listen
Charles joins Rachel with a simple but controversial thesis: gay people deserve the right to be famous — especially him. From there, the conversation spirals into queer celebrity entitlement, “platinum star gay” lore, cooties, vaginal terror, and whether straight people should even be allowed privacy. They unpack fame as a sexuality, queer fishing, gold vs. platinum stars, and why not wanting fame might actually mean you’re straight.
Somehow, this turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about surrogacy, frozen embryos, ethical science, and the future of making gay babies in labs. Along the way: barbershop survival tactics, lying to straight men, learning Mandarin and Russian curse words, foot fetishes on Grindr, comedy industry delusion, manifesting success, and a legally binding blood pact to make each other famous. Chaotic, sincere, unhinged — and very gay.
