StraightioLab Big Money Players

The first day of school comes but once a year, but the ramifacations of your outfit...well they can be felt for a lifetime. Today, notable former student and co-host of "How Did We Get Weird" Vanessa Bayer joins us to talk about this delicate time of yearly reinvention. We unpack the economic status of being hot in high school, the polarizing effects of dressing like you're from California, and whether or not it is abuse to ask someone "have we met before?" If you're currently in high school, this episode could save your life!

If you're on Letterboxd... do NOT read this! Today we're joined by the delightful Bridger Winegar, host of "I Said No Gifts," to talk about that old favorite of showy auteurs and Twitter cinephiles alike: the LONG one-shot take. Are directorial gimmicks anti-woman because they distract from the work of actresses? Should we ethically contain film buffs somewhere so the rest of us don't have to hear about different kinds of cinema lenses? Who is Margaret Qualley? The answer may shock you. Thank you to everyone who came out to our tour! We love you more than you can possibly imagine.

As many of you know we have been on the most groundbreaking tour of the summer (better luck next time to all female pop stars) and today we're going public with our historic Chicago live show. We were joined by windy city iconoclasts Eunji Kim, Derry Queen, and Maggie Winters to exchange ideas that will surely land us all on some sort of CIA list and I'm NOT talking about Comics To Watch, sweetie. Get tix to our FINAL show of tour in Los Angeles, California this very Saturday (Sept 16th: https://teragramballroom.com/tm-event/straightiolab/) and Sam's next CLUB COMIC in NYC on Sept 21st: linktree.com/samtaggartSubscribe 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!

Lunch. Such a common meal and yet...what do we really know about it? Can anyone define it? Why hasn't the FDA weighed in?? This week we have Isle McElroy, the author of the upcoming novel People Collide and regular lunch consumer, to try to lead a healthy discussion on the topic that unexpectedly turns heated, contentious, and downright toxic. They say disagreement is a healthy part of democracy and this episode proves that we are healthy as hell (democracy wise)!!In less than two weeks we're going to the West Coast!
