This week, Kate and Tansy are back and as unfiltered as ever.
From cultural frippery to corporate flops, they break down
everything that made headlines (and headaches).

Tansy kicks things off with a life update about her house finally
getting patched up after 12 years of ductwork drama. Important
stuff. Essential, even. Meanwhile, Kate declares the return of
“whimsy” with her Richard Scarry car air freshener and ongoing
obsession with nostalgic clutter.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

Labubu Madness: Lady Gaga, Madonna, Marc
Jacobs and a cake that looks like a demonic Furby. Is
frippery a coping mechanism in late-stage capitalism?
Probably.

Matt Rife & the ELF Disaster: The
comedian-turned-internet-bro is facing backlash for old jokes
and a tone-deaf brand partnership. They unpack the scandal,
the sexism, and what it says about beauty brands cashing in
on controversy.

The AFL’s Double Standard: Banning
homophobic slurs on the field while hiring Snoop Dogg for
halftime? Let’s talk about hypocrisy, performative allyship,
and why it’s still not safe for queer players in footy.

LV Makeup Mayhem: Louis Vuitton launches
their new beauty line — including $217 lip balm and $1500
makeup brushes. Tansy nerds out over formulas, while Kate
proposes her new alter ego: Upcycled Mimosa Wax.

Freaky Friday 2 Review: Tansy’s solo
choc-top matinee experience, and why Lindsay Lohan and Jamie
Lee Curtis are still queens of screen chemistry. (Also,
justice for Lindsay not getting the Devil Wears Prada role.)
