StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.

StraightioLab

What does it mean to wear glasses? What does it mean to have dyed hair? What does it mean to use deodorant? What does it mean… to be free? We are joined by our friend Julio Torres to answer these questions definitively and finally. You have ONE MORE WEEK to see Julio’s show COLOR THEORIES at Performance Space New York. Tickets at color-theories.com!

"Deodorant" w/ Julio Torres

This week we are back in New York and joined by toast of the town Morgan Bassichis. After the run of their incredible show "Let Me Be Frank," we couldn't wait to have them on to promote the idea that the show is now over. We cover everything from what qualifies someone to be a therapist, the eroticism of the normal couple, and whether it's healthier to look at dicks or old photos of Kristin Davis all day long. All in all, we're just grateful that we've been given the space.

"Misery" w/ Morgan Bassichis

Kay Poyer has lived many lives — goth club regular, antique store worker, Substack diva — and it's all been leading to this: her debut on the gay podcast StraightioLab. We chat about the differences between straight and gay hookup culture, between millennials and Gen Z, between the internet and real life, and of course between people who are annoying and people who are normal!

"Hookup Culture" w/ Kay Poyer

New Season Starts Now! And we're kicking it off with a pillowy soft launch where George and Sam catch up on all the most pressing issues. Issues like: Are pop stars getting shorter? Is gay sluttiness supposed to stay in the closet? And do we need to create new clothes for men? Get ready to get DEEP into the psyche of two gay guys in horrible moods and kick off the new season with a commitment to truth (which is beauty btw).

Today we're joined by Stavros Halkias whose new movie "Let's Start A Cult" is out October 25th. We discuss the most groundbreaking topics from Greek stereotypes that are actually true for most people, Stavros' big sober year, and the politics of having a cold in the year 2024. Plus, we talk mancaves and wonder: would straight people rather build another room in their house instead of having a coversation? Many are saying yes!

George and Sam Call-In Show

Move over, Reese Witherspoon cause there's a new book club in town. That's right, we're kicking off the inaugural StraightioLab Book Club with Jo Firestone's new novel "Murder On Sex Island." We talk about what it means to write a book about sex that has no sex, how a very special "calendar style" edition came to be, and figure out how much of a book you can just riff. Plus, we find out if past lives are real.

StraightioLab Book Club: Murder on Sex Island w/ Jo Firestone

This week we welcome back certified male genius and recent Gayle King interview subject Josh Gondelman (whose new special POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT is out now!) to talk about the non-thinking man's wig: the toupée. Plus: We coin a pretty major new mode of critique called One-Ball Criticism, which is taking literary magazines and academic jouirnals by storm. And no one is safe!

"Toupées" w/ Josh Gondelman

Many episodes of this podcast have shocked, appalled, and rattled us to our cores, but today comedian Zach Zimmerman talks to us about inspirational watch influencer Tim Hayden and it makes us question, well, everything! And just when you thought we couldn't be more disoriented, we discuss the pitfalls of deal chasing, newfound bisexuality, and whether or not someone should have self-respect in the entertainment industry. Bon appetit!

"Tim Hayden" w/ Zach Zimmerman

George is processing some extra-juicy gossip and Sam is recovering from a molecular gastronomy experience, but the show must go on! We welcome the delightful Atsuko Okatsuka (currently on tour in a city near you) to the lab and try to convince her that her fascinating past as a cheerleader is Certified Straight. Or is actually gay? Well now we have a dialogue! Plus: Do different kinds of gay guys correspond to different water birds?
