Today we are joined by our dear friend Mo Fry Pasic (catch her play WORSE THAN YOU at Edinburgh Fringe just like Baby Reindeer) to breeze through a LITANY of genius straight topics before landing on a game-changing theory of verbal communication that must be heard to be believed. Plus: the pure magic of the Hollywood Walk of Fame; a Freaky Friday scenario in the lab; and a new phrase that is bound to disrupt the cultural sphere for good. And here’s to it! CHECK OUT "WORSE THAN YOU" WITH MO FRY PASIC The podcast premieres on Tuesday, July 16 with new episodes dropping weekly through September. Mo Fry Pasic wants to know: how’d you get your act together? On their new podcast, Mo is interviewing today’s funniest artists about their creative processes, the work that means the most to them, and why they make their art. This summer, Mo is headed to the world's largest performance arts festival—The Edinburgh Fringe Festival—with their stage play Worse Than You, produced by Disco Nap and directed by Sudi Green.  MERCH IS HERE: cottonbureau.com/people/straightiolabBUY TICKETS TO GEORGE'S STANDUP TOUR: linktree.com/georgeciveris 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.

Today we go back to our combative and abrasive roots with reptile expert and comedian Vinny Thomas. We talk about all aspects of the cold-blooded wonders, asking questions like: Are they capable of love? Do they dream? Can any of them be LGBTQ+? It's hard to say. Plus, we unpack 'what's the deal' with linen, a new dairy trend that America is gagging for, and how "dialectically" is the new "ultimately." Listen and learn!

And today we have a case of the GIGGLES as we're joined by the hilarious hosts of the brand-new podcast Lemme Say This, Hunter Harris and Peyton Dix, to bring it back to straight-culture basics. That's right, we're talking WEDDINGS: Can gay weddings be straight? Should brides runway-walk down the aisle? Who is that one random uncle and why is he being annoying? Plus: What are they doing with Katy Perry? It's pretty much anyone's guess at this point.

We've all "voted" before, but to what end? Today we are joined by our dear friend Clare O'Kane to explore the mysterious hold that the position of "President" has in our society. Questions include: Is Hollywood to blame for our lack of women leaders? Was Mount Rushmore always like that or did someone make it? And finally: WHO is "Whitney Trump"?! The answer will send shockwaves through this FLAWED country.

Today we welcome back comedian, visionary, and water-on-laptop survivor Brittany Carney to talk about butts. That's right. Butts. Of course, they occupy a space in the gay community, but if you look a little deeper, you'll find the straightness was there the whole time. Plus, we talk about what the heck St. Vincent's deal is, whose fault it is when someone has laptop issues, and what's the current state of mooning. Watch Brittany's new special "That Is My Horse" available now on YouTube and think about butts in a brand new way! LA: Come to StraightioLab Live at the Bourbon Room on May 28!

StraightioLab has always been about pushing the boundaries of podcasting and this episode finds us once again completely reinventing the form by asking "What if the entire episode was just the introduction before the guest comes in?" That's right, it's over an hour long intro that covers everything from what we would do in a Purge situation, how we feel about deals, and whether or not it is good to give full context when performing. Do we ever bring in our illustrious guest? Well you'll have to listen to find out! NYC: See George's standup show on May 22!
