Forget the Poms poms, tiny white shorts and high kicks from hell, the biggest takeaway from America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is the pink economy. This episode we unpack the pay situation highlighted in the new Netflix hit show and how it compares to cheerleaders in our own backyard.

Plus, the UK election has brought Kier Starmer's work/life boundaries into question. So are world leaders allowed to have Friday nights off? We have thoughts.

And, according to one rogue writer, Taylor Swift is not a "good" role model because she is unmarried and doesn't have kids...*sigh*... strap in because we need to have a word.
