StraightioLab ·

2021/04/20

In the latest episode of the toxic edgelord podcast StraightioLab, Sam and George are joined by reactionary comedians Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh for a far-ranging debate with chilling consequences. This podcast was so edgy in fact that the original title was censored from apple podcasts. I guess comedy really is the new punk rock after all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"High School" w/ Jeremy O. Harris

StraightioLab ·

2021/02/23

Should women musicians be allowed to marry billionaires? Is the Slate Culture Gabfest finally out of its flop era? Is Rose's Turn (Glee cast version) the bop of the century? Ultimately none of that matters, because Tony-nominated podcast guest Jeremy O. Harris has been SUMMONED to the StraightioLab Red Table to discuss his dark past as Sam's high school classmate and even... bully?! It's actually more complicated than that, as is society.

StraightioLab ·

2021/02/02

Get out your graph because this episode featuring the employed (but we won't say where) Josh Gondelman is all over the X, Y, and even Z axis. That's right, George, Sam, and Josh each open up their respective curtains to reveal which embarrassing movie posters they had as decor in a jaw-dropping tell-all. Plus, is this a podcast in theory or in practice? Has a Kinsey 1 ever been to space? And should they reboot Nurse Jackie?? We don't have the answers, but we aren't afraid to ask the questions. See

Plus, is it a red flag to have an incredible body at this point in the pandemic? Are Facebook ads better than Instagram ads? And is the lack of a video component the only thing stopping this from being an alt-right podcast? I sure hope not! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

2021/01/12

As George and Sam try to give structure to the pod once and for all, they welcome structure consultant and style guru Julia Shiplett to whip them into shape.
