Can We Not?! Our Wildly Unqualified Opinions on What Needs to Stop
Description
This week on The Blunt and The Beautiful, Kate and Tans unleash a rant-filled, laugh-out-loud episode dedicated to everything they wish people would simply knock off. From the everyday annoyances that make their blood boil to the big societal habits that need a total rebrand, nothing is safe.
Armed with wildly unqualified opinions (and zero hesitation), they cover:
The big “Can You Nots” – from asking about birth stories to refusing to vaccinate your kids
Why being rude to waiters, nurses, or anyone in the service industry should be a criminal offence
Mispronouncing names you can pronounce (but won’t)
Men calling their exes “crazy” – and what it really says about them
Husbands making “no sex” jokes about their wives in public – please stop
People who never ask questions in conversations
Road rage, boasting about not crying, and chronic one-uppers
The rules they’d enforce if they ran the world (warning: birds and men in night-time packs are in trouble)
Education changes they’d make tomorrow – including later school start times and free uni
Social media icks – from monetising tragedies to before-and-after weight loss posts
Why some influencers clearly hate their followers
Their final list of bans, from faceless accounts to middle-aged men on e-scooters
This episode is pure Kate-and-Tans energy – sharp, sarcastic, brutally honest, and absolutely hilarious. They don’t just rant – they roast, reimagine, and rewrite the rules of everyday life.
