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)!!

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.

In today's instant-classic ep, the one and only Greta Titelman (fresh from her standup television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers) makes her return to the lab to "spray" us with some cold, hard FACTS about one of the most dangerous products in the Life-Threateningly Toxic aisle: Febreze! Plus: When will the hackers release the files? Which public figures are psyops? Are Tod's suede loafers going to make a comeback? We've already said too much. They're listening!

Hello, StraightioLab Listeners! We want to share a new show you might enjoy, CrimeLess.

About the show: What’s the best way to rob a bank? How do you fake your own death? Can you deploy a swarm of bees to get rid of the cops? And if so, how (theoretically) would one do that? All of these questions and more are answered on CRIMELESS, a weekly talk show that breaks down crazy crimes and answers the questions that you’re too embarrassed, or too afraid, to ask, lest it land you on an FBI watchlist.

Each week, comedian Rory Scovel and his co-host, the veteran journalist and true crime podcaster Josh Dean, break down a brazen heist, outlandish scam, crypto caper, monkey gang war, or otherwise outrageous crime. The story will catapult the hosts into an exploration of the minutia of the crime, the wild characters who committed it, and how the hosts could do it better. While the show will be funny, first and foremost, listeners will also learn something — at least enough to seem interesting for 10 minutes at a party. It’s How Stuff Works, if How Stuff Works got drunk and robbed a Papaya King, to pay for the Bored Ape NFTs it bought to cover its gambling losses. Or You’re Wrong About, but mostly focused on things that Florida Man did after smoking too much kratom. (Or do you snort kratom? We definitely need to do an episode unpacking WTF kratom is.)
