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.Proudly sponsored by Sukin – for clean skin and even cleaner conversations.#TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #PodcastDrop #PopCulturePodcast #KimKardashian #TikTokScandal #BridgertonSeason4 #KatyPerry #JustinTrudeau #MerkinMadness #InfluencerCulture #SmallBusinessSupport #SNL #SukinBeauty #CleanBeautySponsor #KateAndTansy #MotherDaughterPodcast #PodcastTea #WeeklyRecap
