The US election became... weirder. It seems a school-yard insult has become the most effective political strategy and the man who coined it is has just become Kamala Harris’ right-hand man. We unpack.

Plus, a teenager with a big heavy medal, worms in the village food and a very hot man sleeping in a park… Yes, it’s our very non-expert Olympic round-up.  

And, the truth council friendship theory. One of the world’s richest women says she runs every big decision by three specific women and what she doesn't tell them that says the most.

Light the ceremonial torch and start commentating from the couch... it's time for more of our Olympic vibes. We discuss: cameramen being given an official warning for the angles they are recording female athletes, the beach volleyballers uniforms looking a little different this year (which has upset the pervs), and whether or not we should applaud athletes who soldier on through injury.

Plus, we unpack the unexpected tale of a woman who wants to charge another woman for hosting her kid for a playdate at her house... but not all is what it seems.

And, is hiring a professional bridesmaid sad as hell, or a feminist act? We have some thoughts.
