The Quicky

With just over a month to go until the United States election every move from either side is being analysed with a fine tooth comb.

So what happens when Trump and Harris take a step back to let their running mates speak their piece? 

We've watched, collected our thoughts and are now ready to weigh in on the Vice Presidential debate between J.D Vance and Tim Walz.

It's been hard to ignore coverage of the latest Netflix arrival, another instalment of the Monsters series; this time focusing on the case of Erik and Lyle Menendez.

Even harder to ignore, the backlash creator Ryan Murphy has copped from the Menendez family since the series release. 

One side claims the depiction of people and events is untrue, the other says it stuck to the story closely.

So who's right? We're factchecking Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story 

Plus there's a deeper question the show has presented us with that we must consider...

What's a good size for your boobs? The topic of how big or small a woman's chest should be has been up for debate for as long as we can remember. 

It's recently been reported a rise in breast reduction surgery, linked to a desire reclaim the breast size narrative. 

And while the appearance of smaller breasts is currently in vogue, surgeons are warning it's a procedure not to be taken lightly.

Have you ever been typing out a word and all of the sudden it becomes completely foreign? Like it's gone... weird.

Wordnesia is very real. That moment when words, yes including our own names, go from everyday acceptable to downright bizarre happens to most of us. 

So should we be worried? Or, as our guest says, should we just enjoy language?
