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.

"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] (https://www.vulture.com/article/best-comedy-moments-2024.html) !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!

These are just some of the questions that we bravely tackle this week with sister and writer/star of the new play "It's My Sister" Casey Jane Ellison. Plus, we examine how people can be cool, whether we should be grateful for anything, and the rythyms of LA (or lack thereof). Everything in this episode IS canon so update your ledgers accordingly!

Recorded two days after the election, this episode is raw, real, and occasionally incoherent in ways few other podcasts would dare to be. We're joined by our dear and delightful friend Tim Platt, whose debut comedy album Teeth Like Beak is now available on all platforms, to talk about a true straight classic: acoustic guitar covers. Was the guitar scene in the Barbie movie hack or revolutionary? Should Ben Folds be tried at the Hague? And finally: At what point does critiquing something by calling it straight lose its edge? When we say so, bitch.
