StraightioLab

Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts

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.

    "Hometown Pride" w/ Skyler Higley

    Today we're joined by comedian (and Sam's After Midnight coworker) Skyler Higley to travel down that ole country road to the topic we all grew up with: Hometown Pride. That's right, we're going back to where it all began where the trucks are big as houses and the sporting events feel war-adjacent. Plus, we talk about our work personas, what screeds we should all be releasing, and the ethics of carrying a grown man like a baby in a pool. This should solve everything.

That's where things get drab — and fast. Today we're joined by the hilarious Liza Treyger to chat about the straightest aisle at the supermarket. Plus: Is reclaiming insults over?

    "Museums With Slides in Them" w/ Esther Fallick (RE-RELEASE)

    Happy New Year's Eve Glamour Girls! Enjoy this re-release episode with Esther Fallick which was named one of The Best Comedy Moments of 2024 by Vulture and NY Mag!

    In one of our most intellectual episodes EVER (and that's saying a LOT), we welcome reformed Disney adult Esther Fallick to chat about museums with slides in them—as in slides that you slide down, much like in a playground. We're talking the Museum of Ice Cream, the Museum of Sex, the Museum of Broadway... basically any museum-like establishment that is proudly anti-art! Questions include: Would institutions like this exist if we had universal healthcare? Was Ronald Reagan the original Madame Web? What makes someone a ""subject"" and what makes someone an ""object""? Are we good at identifying ""cultural rot""? Well... kind of!
