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.

Our first in-studio guest in almost 3 years has finally arrived (LA traffic!), and it's none other than our dear friend Jeffery Self! After we complete our monthly check-in about what the Haim sisters are up to, we turn our attention to a topic we've long been afraid to touch: golf. Where did it come from? Do we need to learn to play if we want to make it in the business world? Is there a "pickleball" but for golf? And finally, are gay guys allowed to play? Plus: Jeffery comes out as a Christmas decor fanatic (it all goes back to his parents), Sam learns about local LA customs, and George recounts a harrowing celebrity run-in.

Thanksgiving Earnestness Bonanza

She joins the boys for an enlightening conversation about the sick and twisted rituals of "Greek life," and honey we're NOT talking about the School of Athens! Questions include: Is "rush" morally defensible? Is hazing hot? Are all men gay? Plus: Jia opens up about her improv-adjacent past and Sam announces an important new science experiment that needs urgent government funding.

"Greek Life" w/ Jia Tolentino

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Not so fast, sicko. This week we have poet laureate Langston Kerman on to debunk the disgusting and hurtful rumor that poetry is gay. In addition to taking town the toxic poetry industry, we also discuss whether or not David Sedaris is mother, how straight men suffer when they play gay or even bi on TV, and how weddings are the new Coachella (drug-use wise). So free yourself from form, thank ee cummings for inspiring Ariana Grande, and listen to this ep!
