Cyndi Lauper's GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN WITH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

It's a confession-packed episode, as one should expect when men blithely discuss what women want. Thankfully, there's an appearance by Lenny (sounds like a man's name but she identifies as female) to save it from being an unpalatable sausage-fest of Peter, Dave, and random internet message-board dudes. Also there's surprising depth to be discovered in the lyrics of Cyndi's breakout hit of 1983. Certainly shocked me. Enjoy! "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" features flirting with danger while dancing with the devil, getting titular, police reviews, types of fun, movie tie-ins, nerds and incels have their say, introspective video games and the joy of resource management, bad impressions, work ethics and unproductive fun, more bad impressions, silly syllables, hiccups, outing a podcaster, contractual negotiations, women's rights to fun, global organisations on fun, male origins and hypocrisy, switching meanings and perspectives, Israelites and The Hooters, creepy rapist friends, kale and covid, complex fun, disdain for boy-fun.
