"French Manicures" w/ Jess Salomon & Eman El-Husseini Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

Bonjour, femmes glamours! This week on a very educational StraightioLab, Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini explain how they can be an interracial, interfaith, and inter-vaccine (Pfizer-Moderna) queer couple and STILL get canceled in today's fast-paced media climate! After that, they dive into what makes a manicure French (suburban ennui), and what makes bacon Canadian (racism). Plus: Was the Virgin Mary a fashionista? Which corporate entity have we decided to put on blast? And finally: Does going to a hotel count as "queer culture"?

Do you know things? That might be problematic. Sudi Green (creator of SNL) joins the boys to chat about how information can be used for evil even if you're NOT doing election meddling. Plus: Are we interesting? And finally: What does it mean to be "wink"? It is the new slang term everyone is using, and it does not mean what you think!
