This week, Tansy returns from theatre isolation (read: a windowless black room for nine hours a day) and re-enters society like a slightly disoriented mole. Kate, naturally, is here to aggressively catch her up.

We kick off with the Hannah Montana 20 year anniversary, which raises the important question: did we need it, or are we just emotionally attached to rotating wardrobes and vibes? Miley’s thriving, Billy Ray is… somewhere else, and everyone’s got thoughts.

From there, things take a turn into the deeply unserious but somehow life-ruining world of celebrity smear campaigns, where apparently you can just… ruin someone’s reputation via group chat and vibes? Totally normal behaviour.

We also get into the chaos surrounding Chappell Roan, fame, boundaries, and why women setting limits still sends people into a full psychological spiral. Is she wrong? Is she right? Or is everyone just a bit too comfortable expecting access to strangers?

And then — because the internet never disappoints — we meet this week’s winner of “Worst Take on Earth”, courtesy of a wellness influencer who essentially said:have you tried being successful during a global crisis??

Groundbreaking...

Plus, Kate wraps things up with an astrology forecast that is equal parts guidance and gentle threat: get off the couch, fix your life, and don’t spiral.

It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s mildly unhinged... and it’s exactly what your group chat would sound like if it had a mic.
