Merry Christmas, you ho, ho hos. In Episode 34 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat discuss some crazy news coming out of Canada, including an anti-Zara rally at Toronto's Eaton Centre and the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square.

Ep 33 | Why conservatives are losing the culture war

The Shallow End ·

2023/12/12

In Episode 33 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat react to the news that Alex Jones was reinstated on X (formerly Twitter). A few years ago, questioning any aspects of Canadian immigration was considered racist, which is fascinating given the federal government has decided to update its requirements for international students. Taylor Swift was recently named Time's Person of the Year, and conservative men are not having it. So, Kat and Nat discuss why their reactions are both dumb and the main

2023/12/06

In Episode 32 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat react to pop singer Billie Eilish coming out as bisexual on the red carpet.

Nat got her wisdom teeth removed recently, so please ignore her speaking ability and her chipmunk cheeks! Despite this, in Episode 31 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat get down to the nitty-gritty, discussing the latest news out of Hollywood, including who Catherine Hardwicke would cast as Bella and Edward in a Twilight remake and why Natalie Portman would never let her kids in the entertainment industry. We wonder why? Hollywood isn't the only place riddled with pedos, apparently Ontario is too

2023/11/21

It's Episode Dirty 30 of The Shallow End, so Kat and Nat get spicy. Did Barbie director Greta Gerwig "literally change the game" for female directors in Hollywood, as Margot Robbie thinks, or is she just successful because she's her own brand of genius? Taylor Swift recently took her Eras Tour to Brazil, where a fan reportedly died of dehydration. So, Nat and Kat respond to the criticism and discuss if it's blasphemous that Taylor Swift was honoured with a projection on the

2023/11/14

In Episode 29 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat discuss some bitter b*tches. For starters, Megan Rapinoe was injured at a game recently, and despite not believing in God, blamed him for the incident. Everyone's least favourite YouTuber, Hannah Pearl Davis, is also at it again, this time, minimizing a couple's desire to go out on dates. Sorry ladies, according to Pearl, your man only wants silence, a sandwich, and sex. In other news, some fans speculate that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are

In Episode 28 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat discuss the rising demand for ⁠unvaccinated sperm⁠ donors and whether it's safe to ⁠have sex with men⁠ who got the COVID-19 vaccine. A couple of years ago, you'd be called "racist" for questioning Canada's immigration policies, but now it seems like public support for it has dropped immensely. So, Kat and Nat discuss why they think this is the case. The ladies also offer their take after a new debate has erupted online about prenups

Happy Hallowine, friends! 👻 🎃 ☠️ In today's spooky 27th Episode of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat, who are, like, totally Gen Z, offer their take on a viral video of a girl complaining about the ails of working 9-5 and some of the reactions it received. Speaking of Gen Z, either they are all super based or super afraid of physical intimacy after a new study found that they are over watching sex scenes in shows and movies.

In Episode 26 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat discuss the latest discourse around "Nepo Babies" after Gwyneth Paltrow called the label an "ugly monicker." Speaking of babies, Justin Timberlake allegedly made Britney Spears abort hers in 2000 after telling her he felt they were "way too young" to have a child.

In Episode 25 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat unpack a conspiracy theory that Kanye West may be a clone. Jada Pinkett Smith recently released a tell-all memoir that has left many confused. Not only because Kat and Nat can't think of anyone who likes her enough to read her memoir, but also because she and Will Smith have apparently been separated since 2016. Everyone and their mom is talking about the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. So, Kat and Nat discuss some of the shocking, very

In Episode 24 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat avoid discussing the oh-so-polarizing Israel–Hamas military conflict because they know nothing. So, instead, the ladies talk about Kat Von D's baptism and her journey from witchcraft to worshipping Christ. Did you know hemlines and trending colours in fashion can reflect society? Neither did Kat and Nat, who find it unsurprising that muted tones and long skirts are making a comeback amid these uncertain economic times. Plus, Pamela Anderson ditches

In Episode 23 of The Shallow End, Kat and Nat cover lots of ground. From dieting based on your blood type to alleged thin privilege to reacting to the current physical and mental state of anorexic social media influencer Eugenia Cooney, a lot is going on. But even more seems to be going on with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, who are feuding — again.

In Episode 21 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat assess the rape allegations against former Hollywood actor and comedian Russell Brand.

In Episode 20 of The Shallow End, Nat and Kat talk through the backlash That 70s Show alum Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis received for writing character references on behalf of their friend and convicted rapist Danny Masterson.

Not to mention, Priscilla Presley opened up recently about meeting and falling in love with The King of Rock and Roll at
