 Well... I feel like an idiot but, what hands can a straight and a flush beat?

The order of hands in poker is as follows (from weakest to strongest):
High Card (eg A,8,7,6,2)
One Pair (eg J,J,A,3,4)
Two Pair (eg 10,10,7,7,3)
Three of a Kind (eg 4,4,4,A,Q)
Straight (eg 10,9,8,7,6)
Flush (eg 4,5,7,Q,A all the same suit)
Full House (eg A,A,A,6,6)
Four of a Kind (eg K,K,K,K,9)
Straight Flush (eg 3,4,5,6,7 all the same suit of which an Ace high straight flush is the highest (aka Royal Flush))
So a straight can beat a high card, one pair, two pair & 3 of a kind but a flush can beat all of those AND the straight.
Hope this helps
