We're back!!! And kicking off 2026 in full-blown existential dread mode! Kate and Tansy return for the first episode of the year with chaotic energy, clacky mules, and hot takes.

From Celine Dion joining TikTok (and carrying a mic like a defibrillator) to the odd billionaire undertones of the Golden Globes (did someone say sportsbet Oscars?), we break down the weirdness in the air and why 2026 already feels like a simulation.

Also in this episode:

• 🎤 Celine’s “what’s in my bag” is everything.

• 🎭 The rules of going to the Australian Open (influencers, take note).

• 🎥 Golden Globes gossip: Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn’s past, and why everyone’s pretending Jacob Elordi is new.

• 🎬 James Cameron’s Titanic plot to explore the Mariana Trench.

• 👟 Wearing shoes that don’t fit (a metaphor for life).

• 🎾 Tennis skirts, entrecôte, and chaos at Centre Court.

• 💍 Miley’s new ring and Gwen Stefani’s baffling Catholic app ad.

• 📺 Bridgerton's back (and so is Dave’s velvet glove commentary).

It's pop culture dissection, blunt opinions, and beautiful chaos as always.
