Today we are all winners because we have Survivor and Traitors legend Parvati Shallow on the pod to charm us into oblivion. We discuss her new book "Nice Girls Don't Win" and throughout the episode she proves why she's the master of deception. We also talk hunting, how George and Sam would do on Survivor, and we introduce a new short form web series that we think could change the media landscape forever. Good luck not being charmed - Parvati's been medically diagnosed with charisma. And no, there's no cure.

Hello, StraightioLab Fans! We want to share a new show you might like, Uncle Chris. About the show: Guns, an ex-con, lots of beer and some stripping; Uncle Chris chronicles the craziest night of a young man’s life while visiting his uncle. The nephew is a recent college graduate about to embark on a cross-country bike trip. His uncle is an alcoholic garbage truck driver who lives in a trailer park. Part comedy, part tragedy and always absurd, Uncle Chris will examine both of their lives, the fascinating family lineage that they share and the reasons for why their lives are so completely different.

"Doing Stuff" w/ Tessa Belle
Today we welcome New York-based teen comedian Tessa Belle, who is our first ever guest to receive college credit for appearing on the pod! Before debuting her theory of why doing things is straight, Tessa walks us through some common misconceptions about men, women, mental health, the entertainment industry, relationships, and the concept of communication. Then we proceed to make some bold generalizations that are either really conservative or really progressive. Plus: Have you read the article? Have you listened to the song?

United States of Kennedy: Episode 1: Chappaquiddick
In 1969, a young Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. He managed to get out of the car and survive, but the 28-year-old woman in the passenger seat did not. Kennedy fled the scene and didn’t report the incident until the following morning. As with all Kennedy scandals, conflicting reports of what exactly happened led to enduring conspiracy theories. We’re joined by Liz McNeil, editor-at-large at PEOPLE, author of JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography, and host of the Chappaquiddick podcast COVER-UP, to discuss what we know about that night — and what we don’t.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"A Dress That's Just A Long Oxford Shirt" w/ Jenny Hagel
We're back to bicoastal recordings and feeling MIXED about it. Luckily, this week we have Jenny Hagel on to make us feel calmer with her wise thoughts on following your heart, lesbian fashion influence, and what it means when you wear a dress that's just a long oxford shirt. Plus, we get into local college culture, a tortoise vs hare binary, and the psychology behind posting a picture of your kid with an emoji over their face. And remember: wear whatever you want, as long as it's purposeful!!

StraightioLab is an intellectual podcast where smart comedians George Civeris and Sam Taggart unpack the rich, multi-colored tapestry of straight culture. In each episode, George and Sam are joined by a guest to hold a MIRROR to society and finally get to the BOTTOM of mysterious and perverse topics such as college fraternities, gender reveal parties, the military, themed restaurants, and the concept of "the holidays." Scared? Good.
