Please enjoy this re-release episode with Maeve Higgins! -- Today we have comedian, writer, and boutique sweater designer Maeve "Mohair" Higgins on the podcast to talk about green card marriages and how empowering it can be to bring the transactional spirit back into love. Plus, we discuss Ronan Farrow's physical appearance, what gifted children are up to now, and George asks our Irish guest if, in fact, Ireland is actually trending. Is it problematic to ask that?

Hootie-hoo, glamour girls! StraightioLab will be on hiatus for August. Please enjoy this re-release episode with Sabrina Wu! --- In this week's heavily censored episode, we're going back to our roots with some good old-fashioned THEORIZING. After George debuts his provocative new children's book, the brilliant Sabrina Wu joins us to create multiple new animal-centric frameworks for understanding the types of people in the world (let's just say there are three different kinds of sheep, and it's NOT the ones you're thinking of). Plus: What are our "forbidden questions"? Why is our SICK society obsessed with the concept of leadership? What is the shelf life of a slay? And finally: Sabrina introduces a new LGBTQ+ product that is sure to make a splash.
