Let’s Set Things Straight is an LGBTQ+ culture podcast hosted by two gay best friends who are ready to challenge myths, revisit history, and speak honestly about life within the community.

Alex and Jay explore the people, events, movements, and conversations that have shaped LGBTQ+ identity and rights. From forgotten moments in queer history and harmful stereotypes to representation, relationships, coming out, chosen family, pride, and the issues affecting the community today, each episode combines thoughtful discussion with humor, personal stories, and unapologetic honesty.

Some conversations will be educational. Others will be personal. A few may become arguments between best friends who know exactly how to call each other out.

But every episode has the same goal: to replace misinformation with context, judgment with understanding, and silence with conversation.Whether you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, still discovering who you are, or simply want to become a better-informed ally, Let’s Set Things Straight offers an energetic, welcoming space to learn, laugh, reflect, and celebrate how far the community has come—and recognize the work that remains.

Two gay besties. Real stories. Queer history. No myths left unchallenged.

  • S1E009: Why Detox Culture Is a Lie (and What Your Liver Actually Does)

    S1E009: Why Detox Culture Is a Lie (and What Your Liver Actually Does)
    19 Aug 2026
    Why Detox Culture Is a Lie (and What Your Liver Actually Does)

    CHAPTERS:
    0:00 — Cold Open: The Twenty-Nine-Ninety-Nine Foot Pad
    0:45 — Anatomy of a Word: Toxins
    4:30 — The Liver Does Not Need Your Help
    10:00 — Myth Roundup: Cleanses, Juices, and Charcoal
    17:30 — Myth Roundup: You Cannot Sweat It Out
    23:00 — Myth Roundup: The Colon Is Not a Sewer
    28:30 — The Machine That Sells the Myth
    35:00 — What Your Body Actually Needs Tonight

    SUMMARY:
    Detox is a forty billion dollar industry built on the premise that your body is dirty and only a purchase can clean it. Tonight we trace the lie from a sticky foot pad to a celebrity jade egg, name the five specific myths it sells, and walk through what your liver and kidneys are actually doing right now. We cite the Federal Trade Commission settlement on Kinoki foot pads, the Sense About Science report that asked fifteen detox companies to name a single toxin, the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network data, and the Goop jade egg California settlement. By the end you will have a five-step zero-cost protocol that outperforms every product we spent this episode dismantling.

Hepatology (2017); Klein and Kiat Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics (2014); Fothergill et al. Obesity (2016); Genuis et al.
