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.

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?

"Cheerleading" w/ Atsuko Okatsuka

Today we are all winners because we have Survivor and Traitors legend Parvati Shallow on the pod to charm us into oblivion. We discuss her new book "Nice Girls Don't Win" and throughout the episode she proves why she's the master of deception. We also talk hunting, how George and Sam would do on Survivor, and we introduce a new short form web series that we think could change the media landscape forever. Good luck not being charmed - Parvati's been medically diagnosed with charisma. And no, there's no cure.

"Hunting" w/ Parvati Shallow

Today we welcome New York-based teen comedian Tessa Belle, who is our first ever guest to receive college credit for appearing on the pod! Before debuting her theory of why doing things is straight, Tessa walks us through some common misconceptions about men, women, mental health, the entertainment industry, relationships, and the concept of communication. Then we proceed to make some bold generalizations that are either really conservative or really progressive. Plus: Have you read the article? Have you listened to the song?

"Doing Stuff" w/ Tessa Belle

In 1969, a young Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. He managed to get out of the car and survive, but the 28-year-old woman in the passenger seat did not. Kennedy fled the scene and didn’t report the incident until the following morning. As with all Kennedy scandals, conflicting reports of what exactly happened led to enduring conspiracy theories. We’re joined by Liz McNeil, editor-at-large at PEOPLE, author of JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography, and host of the Chappaquiddick podcast COVER-UP, to discuss what we know about that night — and what we don’t.

United States of Kennedy: Episode 1: Chappaquiddick

We're back to bicoastal recordings and feeling MIXED about it. Luckily, this week we have Jenny Hagel on to make us feel calmer with her wise thoughts on following your heart, lesbian fashion influence, and what it means when you wear a dress that's just a long oxford shirt. Plus, we get into local college culture, a tortoise vs hare binary, and the psychology behind posting a picture of your kid with an emoji over their face. And remember: wear whatever you want, as long as it's purposeful!!

"A Dress That's Just A Long Oxford Shirt" w/ Jenny Hagel

In the FINAL episode of StraightioLab recorded before Sam's wedding, we dive into the straightest topic of all time: Fantasy sports. "Returning champ" (phrase we just learned) Devon Walker (SNL, his brand new podcast MY FAVORITE LYRICS) joins us to answer such questions as: Is fantasy football kind of like Harry Potter fan fiction? Could a gay guy in New Jersey get into gambling? And finally: Is it gay or straight to opt out of things?

"Fantasy Sports" w/ Devon Walker

Have you ever had someone's boyfriend explain rules of a game to you? Well then this ep is for you! We have Taylor Ortega on to talk all things game night and tell us about what really happens when you're hanging out with straight couples. Plus, we talk about Sam's wedding, the problem with perpetuating as a concept, and what happens to cis guy's genders when they finally get a girlfriend. And we make a stunning realization about lesbians in New York City pre-2018 that historians will definitely need to be looking into.

"Game Night" w/ Taylor Ortega

It's bring your coworker to work day at the StraightioLab offices as Gawker's very own investigative reporter Claire Carusillo joins the boys to dismantle overhead lighting. As always, the discussion is nuanced and informed as we explore which forms of climate terrorism are kind of a slay, how to talk to a celebrity without violating their rights, and what the hell is going on with ConEd. Democracy dies in the darkness? Or is that what big lighting WANTS you to think?! Wake up and turn the lights off!
