The Week That Was: Merkins, Scandals & a Canadian Prime Minister Walks Into a Bar...

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.

conversations.
