"Dairy" w/ Amy Zimmer

StraightioLab ·

2023/06/20

StraightioLab All-Star Amy Zimmer returns to the hot seat along with her introverted friend "Kelly" for an episode that defies all categorization. We psychoanalyze the "undecided voter" archetype, invent a subversive new eyebrow trend, and speculate on Barbie's religious affiliation, all before turning our attention to the topic of the hour: DAIRY. What types of cheese are conservative and what types are progressive? How "fraiche" can store-bought creme fraiche really be? And finally: mold? Well

"Wraps" w/ Peter Smith

2023/06/13

This week our disgusting little podcast is classed up by someone who finally understands the power of showbiz: Peter Smith. We cover the wrap, which is one of the most dishonest foods available to the American public and yet also one that has continued to thrive since roughly 1992. But it's not the 90's anymore, sweetheart, and it's time to move on and learn the word "burrito." Plus, in a twist Sam learns empathy for people living in Pennsylvania, George developes a speaker series that is sure to

2023/06/06

Sorry, what was that? We couldn't hear you because we were reading the New York Times bestselling book RAW DOG by our illustrious guest Jamie Loftus. That's right, welcome to our first episode fully sponsored by a book — it's called elevating women's stories, sweetie! Jamie dishes on her cross-country hot dog road trip and we all swap hot dog anecdotes that range from the uplifting to the downright NASTY! Also discussed: the aesthetics of office buildings, the continued rise of post-meaning

"Mayonnaise" w/ Sam Sanders

StraightioLab ·

2023/05/30

Today we are joined by Sam Sanders, the host of Into It and Vibe Check, to discuss the most intersectional condiment of all: Mayonnaise. Is it French and chic? Or is it American and family values? Both? Neither? Not even the USDA knows. But our conversation isn't just food related, we also cover how the Delta SkyLounge will make us lose our morals, the deal with the new Little Mermaid, and whether politics need more or less emotions right now. This episode WILL save democracy. And that's the

"Jersey Knit" w/ Greta Titelman

2023/05/23

Today we are joined once again by StraightioLab favorite and Sam's sexy Los Angeles-based stepmother Greta Titelman to finally talk TEXTILES. Specifically, the most insidious textile of all... one that haunts college dorm rooms and overpriced bachelor pads across this once-great nation... that's right, we're talking about jersey knit. Should sheets be a giant T-shirt? Should clothes be made using "technology"? Is the middle class dying? These questions are not only connected, but impossible to

"Sleepovers" w/ Aparna Nancherla

StraightioLab ·

2023/05/16

This week we invite the unironically illustrious Aparna Nancherla on to shift our perspectives on many of the leading issues of the day. Issues like the ethics of reading a popular book years after everyone else, the sadness of European's attachment to their rich historic cultures, and the power structures of the average sleepover. Plus, a heated debate on the merits of warm ice cream causes a great divide. Hope you like conflict! Subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/straightiolab for bonus

"Carpeting" w/ George and Sam

StraightioLab ·

2023/05/09

This week we are defiantly going GUEST-LESS to discuss the wall-to-wall elephant in the room: carpets. We walk on them, we clumsily spill red wine on them, and we ask if they "match the drapes." But what's lurking underneath America's obsession with, well, covering what's underneath? It's dark, it's sinister, and it's tearing our country apart. Or is it? Why don't you sit your ass down on a gorgeous (but not child-safe) hardwood floor and find out...Subscribe to our Patreon at

"Dating Shows" w/ Sydnee Washington

StraightioLab ·

2023/05/02

This week, we are joined by StraightioLab darling Sydnee Washington who takes us on a roller coaster ride of intellectual rigor. We talk dating shows, and surprisingly find ways to make them even more problematic, exploitative, and legally questionable than they already are. Plus, we pit going to law school against going viral on TikTok, we get upstaged by a haunted razor, and George unloads traumus both of chosen and not-chosen family. Now we can finally all heal.

2023/04/25

Today we are joined by our illustrious podcasting sisters Rose Dommu and Fran Tirado of the Like a Virgin podcast to get to the bottom of questions the government refuses to address. Questions such as: Are straight women the LGBTs of straight people? Is the media kink-shaming Joe Biden's disgraced former nuclear waste czar? Could a gay man play Jason Bourne? Plus: Rose reminisces about her time in the Trump administration and we contemplate what turns Fran Lebowitz on sexually. It's NOT what you

"Advertising" w/ Chris Murphy

StraightioLab ·

2023/04/18

This week we have the honor and privelage of being just a little rude to our dear friend Chris Murphy. We discuss advertising and what the sad state of the industry tells us about the crumbling of American masculinity. Let's just say...things aren't looking good! Plus, Chris shares a shocking theory that Brooklyn has been "Willy Wonka-fied," George fights for his life to try to find a metaphor with sound logic, and Sam reveals that, yeah, he's bought stuff off instagram. And if this caption doesn't

2023/04/11

Former vice president of her Miami-based gay-straight alliance Milly Tamarez joins Sam and George to start some difficult conversations about America's relationship to fast food, and it's about time! Questions include: Do "Happy Meals" stigmatize people who are depressed? Is Chick-fil-A mocking us by giving all its sauces really gay names? Is it unethical that McDonald's introduces children to the concept of brand partnerships at such a young age? And of course: Would you like that with fries?! We

2023/04/04

Today we have comedian, writer, and boutique sweater designer Maeve "Mohair" Higgins on the podcast to talk about green card marriages and how empowering it can be to bring the transactional spirit back into love. Plus, we discuss Ronan Farrow's physical appearance, what gifted children are up to now, and George asks our Irish guest if, in fact, Ireland is actually trending. Is it problematic to ask that? Maybe, but we wouldn't be doing our jobs as investigative reporters if we didn't! Subscribe to

Grand Marshal of the StraightioLab Pride Parade Alison Roman finally joins us this week just in time for the release of her new book Sweet Enough! Did someone say brand synergy?! Alison finally opens up to the press (the gay podcasting ecosystem) about the difficulties of being mother, her aversion to soup at dinner parties, and whether “dilly” is the gayest word in Webster’s Dictionary. Plus: we make her play a limited-edition game and introduce her to Sam’s famous food startup Brooklyn Sleeve Co

2023/03/14

StraightioLab favorites and co-hosts of the Exploration: Live! podcast Charlie Bardey and Natalie Rotter-Laitman join us in the lab to talk about the famed venue category "bars," and let's just say they're NOT all created equal. Plus: Is life a cabaret? What do Bill Murray and Taika Waititi have in common? Who are our favorite old men? Do dead ones count? And finally: Did we already do this topic? Well it's not really like that, and also we didn't realize we were talking to the police. Subscribe to

2023/03/07

Today we are joined by brave whistleblower Vanessa Gonzalez who exposes many truths that industry insiders wouldn't want you to hear. We uncover the straight casting process of Survivor, but also its very gay gameplay. We shed a light on the rapidly declining culture of having a gay voice. And we stand up to the conservative undercurrents of the Keep Austin Weird movement.

2023/02/28

"Returning champ" (to borrow a straight phrase) Aaron Jackson is back on the "hot seat" (to borrow another straight phrase) to once again bring some disgusting sexual deviance to our normally chaste Christian podcast. Questions include: Is it romantic to give your husband a "free blowjob" coupon for Valentine's Day? Are men who like to please women sexually actually gay and doing diva worship? Can a "hand moment" be just as powerful as full-on oral? Plus: We pitch a brand new reality dating show

(To the tune of "Are Your Ready For Some Football") Are you ready for some podcasting? Today notable genius Emmy Blotnick joins us to have a conversation that many are calling the superbowl of comedy podcasting. She comes prepared with a robust list of topics but we ultimately settle on the straightest topic of all: Maps. Why are they there? How do you use them? And what is their relationship to magnets (if any)? Many questions are raised, few are answered. If you have a problem with that, take it
