Today we are once again joined by our friend and STAR of the new off-broadway play "Messy White Gays" Aaron Jackson. We talk about our run-in with the often misunderstood James Corden, what it could mean from a medical standpoint to sweat too much, and how there are only fifteen guys in the world who "get us." Plus, is musical theater straight? Can gay guys sexualize the Wicked soundtrack? And is theater training akin to a military background? Probably!  GEORGE'S SPECIAL RELEASE SHOW AT THE BELL HOUSE ON DEC. 3: https://www.ticketmaster.com/george-civeris-special-release-show-brooklyn-new-york-12-03-2025/event/3000635B3E4D54BC  CALL US at 385-GAY-GUYS to leave questions and comments for our next surprise call-in show and you just might hear your call on your favorite podcast.  STRAIGHTIOLAB MERCH: cottonbureau.com/people/straightiolab   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON at patreon.com/straightiolab for bonus episodes twice a month and don't forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Humor ensues as they ponder how many concussions Zach Braff deserves for cash, weaving in light-hearted topics with deeper discussions about identity and pop culture.
