This week on The Week That Was, Kate and Tansy are back to unpack the chaos of pop culture, politics, and public pedicures. They kick things off with a hot take on the Emmy nominations - why is The Bear still being called a comedy, and can we get justice for Taylor Durden, please? From Gene Smart love to White Lotus debate, no show is safe from their TV takedown.

But that’s just the start. The duo dives deep into a Parental Guidance controversy involving a 12-year-old in a bikini and the horrifying sentence “my husband can’t relax around that.” Cue feminist fury, soapbox moments, and righteous indignation.

And just when you think it can’t get more unhinged, they end with a public toe-clipping scandal starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco. Toenails. In a park. While scrolling on a phone. We wish we were joking.

Also in this episode:
💅 Barbara Streisand’s mystical new duets album
🧙‍♀️ The Kath & Kim energy we didn’t know we needed
🧠 Thoughtful takes on why men need to stop seeing daughters through the eyes of other men

It’s sharp, hilarious, and ever-so-slightly feral. Just the way we like it.

🎧 Listen now before someone starts clipping their nails next to you at the park.
