If you thought last week was chaotic, strap in. This week, Kate and Tansy cover everything from TikTok theft scandals to Kim Kardashian’s latest entrepreneurial fever dream - and yes, we do say the word “merkin” more than anyone should in a single episode.

We kick off with a deep dive into that TikTok necklace saga - small business vs. big platform energy — and explore why influencer accountability is about as consistent as Bridgerton's storyline logic.

Speaking of which: yes, we get into Bridgerton. Yes, Tansy is unimpressed. And yes, we’re still wondering how these characters have less chemistry than a Year 9 science class.

Kim Kardashian enters her “post-wax revolution” era with a Merkin drop no one asked for, and we analyse what it says about body politics, fashion trends, and late-stage capitalism’s obsession with pubic hair.

Then it’s off to the oddest headline of the week: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are hanging out? We don’t know what this means either, but we do know that someone’s definitely writing fanfic about it.

Finally, we wrap up with a look at this week’s SNL chaos, some spicy influencer behaviour, and the usual amount of unnecessary shouting about TikTok trends.
