luv ya 💋

Give these boys an Oscar.

I love this podcast so much. But I wish you would acknowledge that there are gay men living in small towns across the country. Not everyone lives in New York or LA. We are just as educated and ambitious as you. And honestly, we probably understand straight culture even more! 😂

Oh Hello, Elder Millennial gay guy from the midwest here . I had to stop the Lauren Oyler episode to come to the reviews to defend my fellow millennial gay Kathy Griffin fan, George Civeris. Obviously “vote blue no matter who” is now just a hilarious joke. True glamour girls know that! anyone not in in the joke needs to go scratch. Much like the sentiments “She’s running!” and “We did it Joe!”. These are now things we can laugh at. i’m sorry but i am with George on this one. A boomer comedians yelling at gays to “vote blue no matter who” is funny. this glamour girl is here for the backlash era!!

This was my first episode. This was mostly just punching down at people in poly relationships, and in ways that aren't funny, but just repeat the same ideas that the most ardently straight, committedly heteronormative people use to punch down at people in poly relationships. There's nothing new or insightful here, it's just the same old things being said with the plausible deniability of queer irony. Are the straight-coded, poly-as-identity subjects of random magazine articles tedious? Yes, of course; otherwise they wouldn't be held up as weird curiosities for pageviews. I get that you're attempting to talk about a specific form of polyamory that is incredibly easy to mock, but this is still just punching down, especially when the guest is so committed to valorizing their own open relationship as the Correct Very Queer Way to do essentially the same thing. Congrats, I guess they're Winning at Queer? The worst thing is that, as someone who is in a poly relationship - albeit one where we're all gay; maybe that makes it okay in the eyes of the show's hosts - friends are now sending me this episode for comment and agreement. That just leaves me wondering what they must really think about my being in a poly relationship. Not a great feeling.

I love this podcast 5 stars but your ads absolutely do not reflect your views. iHeart must control this but it’s so hard to listen to a thoughtful and fun conversation and then hear dangerous ads

How many times can you say monoculture? The other one in the hospital.

But truly none compare to Straightiolab. They define this queer alt-comedy genre in a brilliant way. They’re just the best!!!!!

Funniest!

So important to support LGBT+ (Greek) podcasts

Absurd in the best way

I’m stepping on my boobs again. It must be Monday.

“Youth Group” should be pressed in gold and shot into space.

Long time listener, first time reviewer: if you want a conversation of insightful and delightfully unhinged commentary, listen to this pod. Give it your time, your heart. Also the Santa ep truly sent me over the edge… Santa and The Patriot Act?? THIS is the stuff that keep me thinking.

thank you for bringing sexy iconic talented showstopping incredible quadruple threat MATT ROGERS on the pod. finalists rise up !!!

So boring that I use it to fall asleep.

One of the BEST pods out there. Y’all are so funny. But PLEASE fix the audio fading :( Not sure if George isn’t speaking directly into the mic or not but it’s distracting when it fades in and out.

I am so excited that I found this pod. Also not me eating quiche for dinner?

the episode with yamaneika saunders was SO TOUCHING!! have been listening since covid, thank y’all for being hilarious xoxo <3

One of my top 5 favorite 2-gay-guys-talking podcasts. Why has the audio gotten so bad lately? Volume keeps cutting in and out.

I’ve been listening for a while and it’s almost always a fun time. But lately, the audio goes dim sometimes. It sounds like they move away from the mic throughout the episode which is pretty distracting.

What’s up Straighto makers it’s a super chill listener here and I just want you to know I love the show and I can’t get enough. I listen every week and go back and listen to the same week from the year before we a need an extra dose to get me through. Xo

The First Day of School Outfits episode is classic and profound.

Been listening since the jump and this has become my favorite pod I anticipate week to week I love George and Sam’s tangents and takes. There back and forth is so fun and also deep? wow what more do u want lol

I was looking for more LGBTQIA friendly podcasts and hit the jackpot with this one! I laugh each time and absolutely love their dry humor and “scary” topics ;)

Can’t believe “Goofy is a gooner” dropped the same day that “Dang” did. Y’all should see if Caroline Polachek would come on and do an episode about interpretive dance or something lol. Also, what about maybe a patreon movie club episode about Down Low with Zachary Quinto and Lukas Gage? Also, worse idea: maybe a patreon episode about like a video game?

And the Joe Pera episode was the leftovers in the fridge that you eat late at night alone in the dark kitchen. The home is two-story and there are no Rae Dunn products to be found. Every hand soap is lavender. The plate goes in the dishwasher and you’re off to bed.

This dynamic is so delightful. I didn’t know about Robyn’s SNL performance and he was the perfect guest to gift me that knowledge

I look forward to this every week. Thanks for helping me lighten up once a week!

The approximately 45 seconds that begins with George calling the NYT piece on boys thinking about the Roman Empire “basically misinformation” and ends with the observation that meme culture has circled us back to the gender essentialism of wondering what women even think about, is literally the most trenchant media commentary of the last decade. No notes. This podcast is deranged and perfect.

What a wonderful podcast. Thought provoking, insightful, light hearted and deep. But an easy breezy listen that has me cracking up in inappropriate places and thinking on bits for days. Appreciate y’all big time.

The way Derry Queen was giving serious Max Wittert energy right off the bat had me dying.

This is pure comedy gold that consistently makes my life better. It is witty and thought-provoking absurdist satire from two friends who have incredible on-air chemistry. Seriously I can’t explain how much I love this show.

Sam and George are certified geniuses, and I die laughing every ep

It always makes me laugh! George Civeris and Sam Taggart are great hosts but writing this because I hated the episode with Robby Hoffman, she made a joke about r*pe and I stopped listening 👎

favorite podcast, George and Sam truly have an eye for the Minutiae of Culture and it’s delicious to my brain!

Get Pat back as a guest on this podcast STAT!!!

I love Sam and George infinitely and they make me laugh every time!

Rachel Pegram episode made me cry laughing lol

perfect

Macy Rodman is so funny MAWMA

I love this podcast but come on…it’s just funny and fun. Not that deep y’all.

I haven't listened to many podcasts yet, but this one is my favorite so far! 2 queer guys talk about straight culture (i.e heteronormativity), "woke" media and whether it's just emotional porn for straight people or not, and sometimes just random topics. It's smart and always funny!

This podcast is better than all the other podcasts combined. Especially when it’s just the two hosts talking.

IYKYK

This show is so toxic I can’t figure out which government agency to report it to first

Razor sharp insights sandwiched between rambling yet entertaining tangents about cultural minutiae. It will make you think without knowing you’re thinking.

Love these boys!!!
