PODCAST

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.

"Love" w/ Max Wittert

StraightioLab ·

2024/03/05

Well it's that magical time of the year when we have our dear friend Max Wittert back on the podcast to create enough tension to give chronic pain to anyone who listens. We attack each other emotionally, spiritually, and financially but at what cost? Many shocking theories are explored like, are north and south poles actually different from each other? Is there value in being nice? And is angel hair pasta good? Plus, we examine the concept of love and which types of relationships are actually gay

StraightioLab ·

2024/02/27

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

This week we are joined by radical free-thinker and creator of the groundbreaking Netlfix special "Get On Your Knees" Jacqueline Novak.

"History Buffs" w/ Ismael Loutfi

StraightioLab ·

2024/01/30

For decades, George has been Sam's only co-worker with access to a microphone. That ends today, as we welcome Sam's LA work husband Ismael Loufti to the pod to talk about straight men's obsession with knowing things about events and places. Unfortunately, implying that straight men are the only people who know historical facts puts us in quite a rhetorical bind, and our attempts to get out of that bind lead us to digging an even deeper hole for ourselves. Luckily, that hole is where we thrive! Don't

"Pizza Places" w/ Blair Socci

StraightioLab ·

2024/01/23

Pizza is one of the most powerful cultural signifiers we have, but what exactly is it signifying? This week we're joined by Blair Socci to dive into the pizza place as a mythic space and try to make sense of what it all means. Let's just say it's one spicy meatball. Plus, who is the powerful firm behind Paul Giamatti being a sex symbol now? Is podcasting a practice? And is it annoying to talk about New York vs LA? Or is it so so so necessary. We choose the latter! NEW YORK: See George do an hour of

"Kitchen Islands" w/ Anna Seregina

StraightioLab ·

2024/01/16

This week, illustrious guest Anna Seregina joins Sam in the LA studio while George is isolated in chilly New York City. If only the whole squad could gather around a beautifully constructed kitchen island. But wait... Do kitchen islands really build community or do they merely reinforce traditional family values? Does the impulse to fill up a kitchen with more surfaces stem from a fear of open space (aka freedom)? Can other options for home-based communal gathering like breakfast nooks or the famed

Brrrrrr...do you feel that chill? Is that the winter setting in? No! It's a DQ Blizzard being given to you by an underpaid, overworked teen. This week, Amber Ruffin is on the podcast to unpack the innate identity building that comes with this sweet treat and flip (wink wink like how they flip the blizzard) the whole system on its head. Plus, Sam finally breaks his silence on his hospital visit, everyone shares their best and worst celeb interactions, and we discuss our favorite movies that we've

In this country, all gay guys of age are called upon to be criminally bad trend forecasters once a year, and we are no different.

StraightioLab ·

2023/12/19

"Happy" hour? Says who, the government!? This week, we're joined by public intellectual Lauren Michele Jackson to explore the manufactured consent around one of America's most notorious hours. Is it a worker's rights win or a baby bottle to keep us complacent? Hard to tell, tbh, but we'd love another Aperol Spritz STAT! Plus, is podcasting a race to the bottom? Are the humanities valid?

2023/12/12

Repeat after us: "Pretty girls are never on time." And yeah... "girls" is gender-neutral and "pretty" is empowering. Superstar guest and host of the problematic live show "Why Are You Single?" Marie Faustin joins us to talk about the class and gender politics of TIME, especially when it comes to showing up at events. Plus: Should we get TSA Pre-Check? What is our ideal date? What's the deal with goofy cops? Is bad sex okay or should it be punishable by death? Well... I guess we'll see!Subscribe to

You've heard of three wise men, but three gay podcasters? Now THAT'S something completely unheard of...until now. That's right, the king of Christmas and the Las Culturistas Universe, Matt Rogers, joins us this week to talk about the one and only Santa Clause. Is he toxic male genius? A serial gaslighter? A creep? We don't acutally know. Plus, we dive deep on Nicole Scherzinger lore, challenge the idea of film critique, and discuss the trappings of sky-high podcast success. Stream Matt's album "Have

Gatherers step aside because this week we have Titanique's Drew Droege on the pod to talk about hunting. Needless to say, we ask many relevant and timely questions such as: Is it powerful to hold a gun? Are birds asking for it by virtue of being weird animals? And is hunting actually part of progressive future? Plus we cover the so-called sex negativity of Gen-Z, have a complicated discussion on physics, and come up with some amazing new gay mantras.

This week we are welcoming notable boy-daughter Karli Marulli on the podcast to clear the air on the wealthiest of smoking habits: the cigar. From your dad smoking one at Thanksgiving to subversive women doing it on the cover of Men's Health Magazine, the cigar has held up gender standards since the beginning of time and who are we to get in its way?

Today we're joined by the two proudly Catholic co-hosts of the Diss and Tell podcast, Matt Bellassai and Sydney Battle, to talk about the favorite activity of men across the country looking to let off some steam: going for a long drive. Whether you're Ryan Gosling in Drive or Sydney's dad, one thing's for sure: the only way to truly relax while keeping your masculinity intact is to operate heavy machinery.
