This week’s episode kicks off with a weather report (Melbourne is back to being cute), a chat about constipation (we didn’t), and of course, our usual dissection of the absurdity of pop culture.

Kate and Tansy fangirl over People’s new Sexiest Man Alive — Jonathan Bailey, aka the Bridgerton babe and all-around theatre dreamboat. It’s a queer milestone and a good excuse to rewatch Crashing (Phoebe Waller-Bridge supremacy forever). Cue a reflection on representation, hotness, and why middle America is crawling, not running.

Then it’s onto Lady Victoria Beckham (yes, she’s using the title), a $200 VB foundation, and the most pretentious knitwear description ever: washed in the surrounding peaty lochs. Move over, cashmere, it’s all about the Erin Patterson mushroom boot era — vegan leather or plastic? Kate has thoughts.

Next up, Trisha Paytas on Broadway?! The girls unpack her Beetlejuice cameo, the chair-breaking chaos, and why parasocial love for Trish is alive and well. Meanwhile, Ryan Murphy’s new show All’s Fair is getting panned — Tansy calls it “clip farming”, Kate wants her time back, and Kim K’s acting is giving… nothing.

And finally, a reflection on the power of manifesting, pleather fart pants, the stork (don’t ask), and why Goop might’ve dodged a very campy bullet.

You’ll Hear About:

• Jonathan Bailey becoming People's first openly queer Sexiest Man Alive

• Lady Victoria Beckham’s title rebrand, and the most expensive foundation on earth

• Taylor Swift’s mushroom boots and the ethics of "vegan leather"

• Trisha Paytas’ Broadway debut (and broken chair)

• Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair flop, and whether Kim K is capable of human connection
