"Hookup Culture" w/ Kay Poyer Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Kay Poyer has lived many lives — goth club regular, antique store worker, Substack diva — and it's all been leading to this: her debut on the gay podcast StraightioLab. We chat about the differences between straight and gay hookup culture, between millennials and Gen Z, between the internet and real life, and of course between people who are annoying and people who are normal!

New Season Starts Now Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

New Season Starts Now! And we're kicking it off with a pillowy soft launch where George and Sam catch up on all the most pressing issues. Issues like: Are pop stars getting shorter? Is gay sluttiness supposed to stay in the closet? And do we need to create new clothes for men? Get ready to get DEEP into the psyche of two gay guys in horrible moods and kick off the new season with a commitment to truth (which is beauty btw).

Show notes

Move over, Reese Witherspoon cause there's a new book club in town. That's right, we're kicking off the inaugural StraightioLab Book Club with Jo Firestone's new novel "Murder On Sex Island." We talk about what it means to write a book about sex that has no sex, how a very special "calendar style" edition came to be, and figure out how much of a book you can just riff. Plus, we find out if past lives are real.

"Toupées" w/ Josh Gondelman Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

This week we welcome back certified male genius and recent Gayle King interview subject Josh Gondelman (whose new special POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT is out now!) to talk about the non-thinking man's wig: the toupée. Plus: We coin a pretty major new mode of critique called One-Ball Criticism, which is taking literary magazines and academic jouirnals by storm. And no one is safe!

"Tim Hayden" w/ Zach Zimmerman Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

Many episodes of this podcast have shocked, appalled, and rattled us to our cores, but today comedian Zach Zimmerman talks to us about inspirational watch influencer Tim Hayden and it makes us question, well, everything! And just when you thought we couldn't be more disoriented, we discuss the pitfalls of deal chasing, newfound bisexuality, and whether or not someone should have self-respect in the entertainment industry. Bon appetit!

"Cheerleading" w/ Atsuko Okatsuka Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

George is processing some extra-juicy gossip and Sam is recovering from a molecular gastronomy experience, but the show must go on! We welcome the delightful Atsuko Okatsuka (currently on tour in a city near you) to the lab and try to convince her that her fascinating past as a cheerleader is Certified Straight. Or is actually gay? Well now we have a dialogue! Plus: Do different kinds of gay guys correspond to different water birds?

"Hunting" w/ Parvati Shallow Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

Today we are all winners because we have Survivor and Traitors legend Parvati Shallow on the pod to charm us into oblivion. We discuss her new book "Nice Girls Don't Win" and throughout the episode she proves why she's the master of deception. We also talk hunting, how George and Sam would do on Survivor, and we introduce a new short form web series that we think could change the media landscape forever. Good luck not being charmed - Parvati's been medically diagnosed with charisma. And no, there's no cure.

"Doing Stuff" w/ Tessa Belle Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

Today we welcome New York-based teen comedian Tessa Belle, who is our first ever guest to receive college credit for appearing on the pod! Before debuting her theory of why doing things is straight, Tessa walks us through some common misconceptions about men, women, mental health, the entertainment industry, relationships, and the concept of communication. Then we proceed to make some bold generalizations that are either really conservative or really progressive. Plus: Have you read the article? Have you listened to the song?
