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!

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!

This week we're celebrating the holidays by unpaywalling a very special call-in patreon episode for all to enjoy. How generous of us! We take calls about the state of optimism, the pros and cons of being married to Santa, how comfortable we are with novelty, and so much more. Enjoy and see you in the new year!

Today is the day you wait for all year round. It's the day when George and Sam's eyes roll back in their head and they predict the trends for the next year with stunning accuracy. Witness their predictions, no, their prophecies for the year 2025 and heed their warnings.

Recorded the exact moment it got dark outside on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, this episode unlocked something very dark within us that will be studied by social scientists for generations... Our dear friend Dash Turner joins us to chat about his twisted heterosexual habits and the healing power of Call of Duty. Plus: What kinds of injuries are gay and which ones are straight? Is breaking a bone just a test to see if you can "pull it off"? And where does insurance fit into the equation?

What does it mean to be a sister? Is it different than having a sister? And where do brothers fit in? 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!

Happy Thanksgiving Glamour Girls, and also happy belated CANADIAN Thanksgiving, because today we're releasing our first ever Toronto live show, featuring superstars Ben Sosa-Wright, Sarah Hagi, and Nathan Hare!

Unfortunately the first 15 minutes of the audio were stolen from the mainframe by really evil hackers, but it wouldn't be StraightioLab without a little whoopsie!

Today we're thrilled to have Catherine Cohen on to help us break the seal of yet another national tragedy. No stone goes unturned as we talk about the passing of time through podcasting, the failing movie industry (and thriving film industry!), and George reveals an opinion Charlie Puth that will even further divide our nation. Stream Catherine's new special "Come For Me" and listen to her new album "Overdressed" on all platforms!

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.
