A nostalgic deep-dive into the last era of millennial optimism, when we got to figure out who we wanted to be before the algorithm told us who we already were.

This week, Kate answers listener texts and voicemails. She snorkels left chest logo polo critters of yesterday and today, organizes mall chain restaurants into experiential tiers, power ranks Gatorade flavors, and explores a world where the Cullens' immortality problems are simply solved by homeschooling. Yep, that's the episode. Enjoy!

Total Request Five (Addison Rae and the New Pop Machine)08 Jun 202501:52:34

This week, Kate tries a tri-deep dive connecting Addison Rae's evolution, Y2K's one-hit wonders, and the overlap of both TRL and Tiktok's pop generations. Through Addison's candid interviews about stepping away from constant content creation, Kate explores how the machine that once discarded the forgotten pop girls of the early 2000s is long gone... or is it? Kate argues that while social media promised to democratize fame, it's actually created a more insidious system where creators internalize the disposability that labels and entertainment gatekeepers used to impose, making the case that Addison Rae represents a new model of how to game the system back.


Plus: Relax, Hailey Bieber isn't a billionaire (yet), Kylie's boob job transparency, S Club 7's tragic economics, YM magazine archaeology, and why we need to stop treating one-hit wonders like cautionary tales when they were actually victims of an assembly line designed to churn through young women for profit. Enjoy!

This week, Kate resurrects the Bride Tribe series to offer her updated perspective (and updated listener stories) about participating in weddings and/or being a bridesmaid, just in time for wedding season.

Women's Bufferage07 Apr 202301:55:18

This week, Kate discusses a topic adjacent to her newly released book cover: early 2000s burned CDs, where a generation of baby pirates took on the music industry with a stack of CD-Rs, a sharpie, and a dream. She goes through some brief history of peer-to-peer sharing sites, talks through the millennial version of 'walking miles in the snow' aka buffering, discusses changing her entire personality to impress boys via music, then reads some listener anecdotes about their favorite memories, soundtracks, song orders, and themes resulting from this period of time where teens casually committed a federal crime in the name of curating a vibe. Enjoy!

Study Abroadcast30 Mar 202302:20:43

This week, Kate muses aloud about several topics adjacent to studying abroad and crowdsources stories from fellow millennials' good, bad, and cringy "cultural" experiences. Recently an article went viral about a Gen Z'er not enjoying her time in Florence, and it got Kate thinking about her time trying to cosplay a more sophisticated, European version of herself that genuinely thought she came back a changed woman due to her collection of street pashmina and her ability to navigate the Eurrail train system. In hindsight, she ponders bigger themes like feeling ashamed of our interests, not realizing what about us was obviously "American" and realizing that we were embarrassing to other cultures, discusses the ridiculousness of the things we "loved" about Europe (long meals? open container laws?) but argues for there being a deeper layer of identifying with cultural elements of places that legitimately do prioritize quality of life in a different way. A classic, highly tangential, partially crowdsourced ep sharing both Kate and BTI5 listeners' perspectives. Enjoy!

Kat3lilah (Answering Listener Voicemails)19 Mar 202301:57:06

This week, Kate watched M3gan and then was served content about AI making podcasters obsolete, so she tries to figure out if she should care about chatGPT and then competes with it to see who does a better job answering listener voicemails. A woman in STEM! This episode covers pressing listener questions, such as:

-Popular girls who painted their nails in class, where are they now? Feat. an incredibly windy tangent about body spray/splash culture in locker rooms and 90s Herbal Essences commercials

-How does she feel about farmfluencers Ballerina Farm and the controversy that they were super rich this whole time?

-What happened to the recipe of sour brite crawlers? And how does that lead Kate to formally ranking off-brand store-bought chocolate milks and grocery chains, then go off on a tangent about how a lack of cultural identity makes people obsess over sports?

-What does Kate think is the current 'monoculture,' and how does the speed of the news cycle and the volume of programming aid or prevent in having shared cultural reference points?

Among other things. Enjoy!

In my Eras era (feat. Sarah from Taylor Swift Style)12 Mar 202302:13:21

This week, Kate shares her hopes and dreams for the Eras tour before it's spoiled this week, e.g., some thoughts she has on theme/structure/flow, her favorite F bombs she hopes to sing, plays a sampling of her setlist draft, and also shares insights from her snorkel into TS tour footwear over the years. She also makes a detailed plea for a YOYOK/Long Live finale, among other must-hear songs. Then, Kate interviews Sarah from the original TS style blog, Taylor Swift Style, and they discuss Taylor's street and red carpet style, stylists, iconic tour looks, tour predictions, outfit hits and misses, their "big 3" albums, and more. Kate also finds out Sarah went to a secret session and briefly spirals. Overall, a fun convo approaching Eras predictions from a different angle with a fellow superfan! For Kate's full setlist predictions, go to patreon.com/bethereinfive.

Scandoval & Under the Influencer (with Lindsay Silberman)05 Mar 202302:08:39

This week, Kate begins by addressing the Scandoval of it all, doing a 20 min or so snorkel through the current Vanderpump Rules drama between Tom/Tom/Rachel/Raquel/Ariana, trying to contextualize it with past show drama for beginners. Then, she segues back into a favorite topic of the Beths (candle culture) to resurrect an old series called Under the Influencer and interviews Lindsay Silberman, a magazine journalist turned influencer and business owner best known for her insanely popular brand, Hotel Lobby Candle. They talk about her career story that rom-com dreams are made of, working in the Vogue fashion closet, wanderlust luxury travel culture, influencer PR trips, and discuss the start and current status of her candle company (and she also gave us a code)!

Scary-Kate and Ashley26 Feb 202302:05:11

This week, Kate breaks her silence on the 1999 "historical" American Girl dolls that dropped this week and talks through their accuracy regarding millennial iconography. She also discusses 90s twin tropes/evil brunette twins, sleepover popcorn politics, and skincare routines of yesteryear like the Clinique 3-step. She then finds archived PDFs of old American Girl books about popularity and crafting, like a whole book dedicated to "Jazz Up Your Jeans," and it jazzes up Kate's day. She then discusses Kelsea Ballerini's new EP (that finally gives doormats the spotlight they deserve), her divorce from Morgan Evans, the brilliance of the lyrics and short film, and Kate expresses her frustration with the timing of her new "relationship" with John B. Kate then finds an AG book about babysitting that single-handedly teaches her how to parent, and lastly she reviews crowd-sourced responses to the question of "what about adulthood would have put younger you in a coma?" Enjoy!

Beth Behavior12 Feb 202302:16:48

This week, Kate talks about the controversial list of 141 rules The Cut/NY Mag came out with that were positioned as a revised etiquette guide for modern society. First, she dives into some of the histories of western etiquette, snorkels Emily Post & the gang, reflects on her time in cotillion, learning to be 'ladylike' in pop culture, and her issues with classism and 'old vs. new money' convos. She then ventures into some of her takes on the list and peppers in listener emails about their responses to the article and shares additional rules they'd implement in their personal etiquette guides.

Bad Mormon (feat. Heather Gay)05 Feb 202301:13:22

This week, Kate starts by sharing the shows she's been watching (Bad Sisters, Shrinking, Pamela: A Love Story, discusses her enthusiasm toward the redemption of victims of 90s misogyny, then reviews the social media ads she can't get away from, and her love/hate relationship with custom songs people commission for Valentine's Day off of Tiktok ads. She then discusses some thoughts on religious deconstruction and then goes into an interview with Heather Gay, Real Housewife of Salt Lake City and author of Bad Mormon (out February 7). They talk about her experiences being raised in the LDS church, marrying into "Mormon royalty," what it was like getting married young, having professional accomplishments overlooked, the challenge of living a life that guarantees you'll still be oppressed in the afterlife, among other things, like having a dad that franchised an Arby's. Kate asks about the black eye too. Enjoy!

Sunday Snorkel22 Jan 202302:07:47

This week, Kate's snorkeling (AKA mini deep dives) the week's pressing pop culture topics, according to her IG Q&A box that keeps her in the know while she's still slightly off the grid, like discussing the economics and backlash associated with the Tarte Dubai Influencer trip, the continued skyrocketing of Alix Earle (and else what's on Kate's FYP, like scar girl?). She talks about the rumors surrounding Miley Cyrus' new song Flowers and the barrage of super-specific rumors that came out about her and Liam Hemsworth's relationship out of nowhere. She also goes into a quick rant about Girl Scout cookies, talks TS Eras tour setlist chatter, followed by her formal compilation of every season, month, and aspect of creation that Taylor Swift has successfully co-opted  with lyrics, forever making people think an album is dropping when she or Taylor Nation are existing and/or run-of-the-mill tweeting, while we're perennially promoting and speculating over nothing. The last hour, because everyone's totally not burnt out of this topic by now, Kate shares her core takeaways she believes are in need of more airtime from Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, e.g. the EASTER PRESENTS of it all (???), the love story that reads as Lonestar's "Amazed," the whiplash in the descriptions of Kate, and the irritating times Harry forgoes details that are like, the only times she wanted more details.

2023 and Me08 Jan 202302:02:46

This week, Kate is solo (and has the plague!) as we kick off 2023 with a Katelilah episode where she answers listener voicemails and is thrilled to have someone to talk to in isolation. Topics include discussing the trend of having style "words," personal style evolution, the Tiktok trend of dressing your mom, top internet sleuthing tips, Kate's thoughts about internet detectives going too far, the evolution of celeb paparazzi shots, Taylor Swift being driven by accolades/success metrics and guessing her Enneagram, some thoughts on how vanity metrics drive people in general after we no longer have grades for institutional validation, she also talks about "nice guy" syndrome in response to a listener being treated transactionally on a date, among other things. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Laguna Diets (feat. Dieter Schmitz)18 Dec 202201:45:47

This week, Kate goes back to the beginning. Back to where (the earth, the stars, the sun all aligned, yes) but also back to the beginning of her fascination with southern California beach culture, thanks to 2004's groundbreaking reality show, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Due to Kristin & Stephen's podcast, the show is experiencing somewhat of a renaissance, and in case you're adding this to your holiday binge watch schedule, Kate wanted to also revisit the days of side bangs, black and white party group hangs, promposals, and jean skirt/Ugg combos now that this footage is available at our disposal on Netflix. After reminiscing about some of her takeaways upon rewatching episodes, Kate interviews former cast member that was labeled as Stephen's (but more appropriately was America's) "wingman" Dieter Schmitz to talk about seasons 1 & 2. She asks burning questions, e.g. what is his current relationship with feta cheese? Who is he still friends with? When did he feel production went over the line? How does he feel about being a supporting character who was almost in every episode? Were people as hammered as they looked at Fight the Slide 2005? Among other things. Enjoy!

Mama slay at the lake (feat. Caroline Moss)12 Dec 202201:51:25

This week, Kate starts with a high level first impression of the Harry & Meghan documentary (she'll cover in full once all eps come out), then she is joined by Caroline Moss (from Gee Thanks Just Bought It) to talk all the hottest trends in pop culture and gift guides. Instead, they get distracted and mostly talk about nothing current and hyper focus on the culture of hand towels and merch in lakefront towns and how the wordplay transcends any and all human reasoning, to the point where Kate laughed so hard she can't breathe, but maybe that's because she's been wearing her new vest too much. They discuss things like people who sign Facebook walls on birthdays, school dance attire, people who catalog Lululemon tags, whataboutism at Christmastime, Kate attempts to pathologize our interest in Alix Earle on Tiktok, then they talk about the culture of Maxine greeting cards and curmudgeon nuns, Christmas gift pop up shops in public schools, the hottest outfits for grades 4-6, and the rest of the episode and gift guide piece will be up on Patreon.com/bethereinfive as a bonus when Kate gets back the audio she had to have professionally edited after shrieking into the mic.

Cheval's Well That Ends Well04 Dec 202201:30:55

This week, Kate has on a special guest that you may have known from the world of bridal design, but given an ongoing legal battle with her former employer, she can no longer publicly identify with her given name and was reintroduced to the world as Cheval in August 2022 (and her namesake line of glam footwear @sheischeval was introduced in October 2022).

 As the friendly designer and "America's bridesmaid" on TLC's, "Say Yes to the Dress," she brought over 10 bridal product lines to market, dressed noteworthy female icons like Dove Cameron, Chrissy Teigen, and Carrie Underwood, and became one of the most sought-after luxury bridal designers in the world (VOGUE'S TOP TEN). After 9 years of working under a very one-sided employment contract, her former employer sued her in federal court and gained control of what she believed were her personal social media accounts. She resigned in December 2020 and under the current preliminary injunction, she is prevented from using her own birth name in any business or commerce or even to publicly identify herself. She is also not receiving commission for her designs that are still being sold, and she is restricted from identifying herself as a designer to the trade in which her former employer competes until August of 2027.

The public support has inspired her next mission in launching a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit foundation that provides resources to better protect the interests of young women and creatives during the formative years of their career. She is currently writing a memoir and rebranding under SHE IS CHEVAL.

Death By A Thousand Bots18 Nov 202201:34:58

A Be There in Five Special Report that was recorded uncharacteristically quickly. Details the Ticketmastermind fall out with fans where both Ticketmaster & TaylorNation (allegedly?) poorly planned and forecasted against consumer demand paired with their mutual intentional profit maximizing strategies that instead of dancing in the pit, left us with a pit in our stomach for overpaying because we were underprepared with details TN could have easily released regarding pricing, setup, tiers, VIP perks, etc., or a pit in our stomach for spending multiple days trying to get a seat, only to feel like she took our hand and dragged us head-first, ticketless. This episode may have a poor shelf life; only contains info that Kate was able to find prior to 6 PM on 11/17 and is full of poor mental math and opinions not facts. Enjoy?

Midnights Reign05 Nov 202202:34:09

This week, Kate provides very Maroon-forward programming with her high-level review of Taylor Swift's 10th album Midnights (it's totally different from Patreon reaction videos, btw). Now that we've had a couple of weeks to let it sink in that karma is a cat, Kate discusses her streams and skips, bread and butter songs versus jams, muses about parallels between sister tracks, goes more in-depth into a handful of songs she's still analyzing, and also talks about ancillary topics from the past 2 weeks she hasn't covered, e.g., Anti-hero controversy, Eras tour announcement, Bejeweled video, etc. The last half hour is a semi-intense review of Would've, Could've, Should've from the lens of predatory age gaps, the fetishization of youth, and the implications of young women's virtues communicated as their value, so just a head's up to skip that part if you don't want to be dragged through Kate's confusing thoughts about her past physical interactions that she would've, could've should've probably spared you of.

Long story short, it was a great time. Nothing and everything good happens after Midnights. Enjoy!

Be There in Bad Vibes Only (with Nora McInerny)20 Oct 202202:05:02

This week, we have a BTI5 book club and Kate interviews friend of the pod (and more importantly, best selling author and host of hit podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking) Nora McInerny about her new essay book Bad Vibes Only. In this episode, they discuss the confusing nature of knowing aging is a privilege but not wanting to look it, the fallacy of elegance, Millennial work ethic, reflecting on disordered eating patterns, the art of the tendril/skank bang, why she opened with a TS quote from "Mirrorball," among other musings from this brilliant collection that invites you to exist in a state of both existential and surface-level wonder without the pressure to self-improve or find resolve in a post #girlboss America.

Afterparty in the Miss USA (with Cori Wallace)14 Oct 202202:26:51

This week, Kate follows up on some of the themes from last week about the lore and cultural significance of pageantry by bringing on a former pageant contestant & PR insider (and Beth!) named Cori Wallace, who chats with her about a variety of topics that extend beyond the scope of last week's drama to meander through pageants being both a reflection (and regression) of elements of modern womanhood. From more granular details like what it costs and how people win, to the mental health implications of striving for impossible standards, the ethical grey area of sponsorship cross-pollination, and coaches being pageant producers. They also share some of their own vulnerabilities for chasing validation based off of a reduced version of themselves and wonder if they ever really stopped. All in all, it's like a fireside chat between friends trying to wind through a topic they feel two ways about thoughtfully. First, however, Kate does review some of the judging criteria she forgot to go over last week, but mostly just obsesses over which part of her body is her 'carriage.'. Enjoy!

Something's A-Miss, USA10 Oct 202201:38:38

A deep dive Kate put together last minute about the controversy surrounding the Miss USA pageant late last week when contestants claimed the pageant was "rigged" and/or a product of overt favoritism toward Miss Texas. Insisting she was mostly disinterested, Kate dipped her toe in, then managed to spend the whole weekend researching history, and lore, thinking about her own memories watching, all while developing an incredibly lukewarm take on a topic she knows very little about and isn't totally sure if she should support.

Kate recalls covering the following:

A breakdown of the Miss USA drama

An appropriate reading from pop culture scripture: Chapter: Miss SC, Verse 2007

Kate asks questions about the ethics of favoritism, while clearly implying favoritism almost the entire episode

Tugboat eats a cup of Ranch by accident

Research about the historical context of women's exploitation for sport that she kind of hates but would've wholeheartedly done for validation

An overview of the history of pageants in the U.S. and all the many ways we never stood a chance

Greg interrupts for more IVF shots, Kate gets in bad mood

Then maybe blames Molly McIntyre's performance in the only pageant that matters (Miss Victory) for the downfall of women

Somehow Pretty Pretty Princess gets dragged into it

There's still some leftover anger toward children doing a little too much food prep under age 3 on Tiktok

Various catchphrases for influencer pipelines that are the hottest launchpads to stardom

Kate imagines (hallucinates?) a Jovani insurrection if the Miss USA vote was stolen

And so much more!

Fortunately, a much more informative second episode featuring an interview with an incredible BTI5 listener/former pageant participant/former employee (Cori Wallace) in the corporate pageant system will be released in the coming days, likely early released on Patreon, this was a last-minute topic choice so thanks for your patience as we align it with the broadcast calendar! patreon.com/bethereinfive

3-in-130 Sep 202201:59:31

This week, Kate answers three questions and made it into one episode after having an epiphany about 3-in-1 products and their correlation to the patriarchy, consumerism, and religion in line at a Walgreens (where she has all her best thoughts). This turducken of an episode snorkels the irony of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty being executed alongside Axe Body Spray's incredibly sexist mid-aughts advertising and details some thoughts on her own struggles with body image over the past year that she was surprised came back up to the surface (TW: diets, EDs). Then, she does a mini deep dive of the D.A.R.E. program, including "Cartoon All-Stars," the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip of cartoons and cereal box characters who didn't want you to smoke dope, discusses the program's efficacy, then answers a listener's astute question about the role of "Just Say No" culture contributing to the boundary setting many of our elders find undesirable. Kate also discusses some nuances that may exist between Boomers and Millennials as it relates to employment, the pendulum swinging from purpose-driven employment back to not needing to find identity in employment, and how it should be okay to meet (not *exceed* your employer's expectations). Then, she goes through a lot of different topics upon being prompted about musical/lyrical pet peeves, from the Pitbull Kodak/Kodak paradigm to her FYP that's fully comprised of Gaylor Swift theories, to a controversial "Hey Soul Sister" roast that may just leave a stain on the front lobe of your left side brain. Enjoy!

Make Your Christian Brothers Autumnal25 Sep 202201:48:30

This week, Kate attempts to reclaim the nostalgic magic of fall by detailing her feelings about dystopian Instagram-backdrop businesses and resurrects the fauxliage phenomenon to chat about manufactured coziness and the art of photo taking. She then reminisces about some of her back to school and fall-related longings, like the lore of school supply shopping, how not all spiral notebook manufacturers are created equal, the scholastic book fair, among other things. She discusses her theory about misplaced disdain for early spirited fall decor and PSLs and hypothesizes Millennials' obsession with cosplaying the coziness of yesteryear and perhaps we're chasing a time when the seasons were valued for their beauty and not resented for their role in the passage of time. She then answers listener voicemails about sexist college theme parties, talks about when she met her husband at some point, discusses Trisha Paytas naming her kid Malibu Barbie (??) and her issues with modern naming conventions, does some royals & QEII coverage and the misinformation of Nostradamus' predictions, only to be too long-winded (as usual) and need to go into a part 2 bc of all the great questions this week. Enjoy and call Kate-lilah if you ever have a question or comment (312) 379-9676

Childless Millennial, Part III18 Sep 202202:29:56

This week, Kate updates you on the first half of the IVF/egg retrieval process and, in the second half, is fortunate enough to ask Kindbody co-founder Dr. Fahimeh Sasan about your questions regarding egg freezing/embryos/IVF because Kate wished she knew these things but was (and still is honestly) a person who isn't super into kid-related content. But for those of you that identified with Childless Millennial in 2020, this is kind of an update, where she summarizes how she got here, how she used to feel, the core drivers in changing her mind, her experience with TTC and loss, and what the outcome was of the first embryo retrieval and why she'll likely do a second. Some of it you've heard before (if you don't want to hear updated thoughts, go to the second hour) but wanted to have one megasode to serve as a one-stop-shop of all that's happened where she's crying considerably less than when she explained it in real-time. Sorry for the departure from fun pop culture or lifestyle stuff, but she dragged you into this mess two years ago and will update you as she navigates what turned out to be a very not straightforward path to motherhood, if anything, so those of you like her, existing amongst a minefield of other people's best-case scenarios at all times, feel a little less crazy. Enjoy?

That Don't Impress KD Much12 Sep 202201:45:32

This week, Kate has 3 of her friends from college on the podcast following a pilgrimage to the Shania Twain residency to talk about the things that don't impress them much about Vegas (and all the ways Vegas is no longer impressed with them). Following their trips to Vegas at ages 25 and 30 (now here for Kate's 35th birthday), they've noticed some subtle changes from their party girl days, e.g., getting rejected from a day club for having a breast pump and Kate being checked in to the hotel alongside rogue fertility advice. They discuss their weekend mishaps in restaurants, hotels, and spas, discuss the Shania concert, and then honestly review some overrated hotspots on the strip. Then, they reminisce about things like sorority trauma bonding, Kate & Jasmine's early rivalry formed at Yearbook camp, and getting sued for downloading Aladdin on Limewire, among other memories, then finish with crowd-sourced listener "don't impress me" moments. Enjoy!

GDI Candy28 Aug 202201:53:27

This week, Kate starts by sharing her thoughts on how being fashionable in the early aughts meant to try the absolute HARDEST, a revelation that feels as glaring as her patent leather pumps after witnessing the shift in collegiate fashion upon spending "welcome weekend" in a college town. Then, she touches on Selling OC before reminiscing via reading through residual sorority stories that listeners submitted the past two years from when she was going to resuscitate the sorority series (before accidentally spending two hours last week analyzing if it was high camp instead). A variety of topics are covered, from sayings like "we plan and God laughs," to the lore of one-shoulder tops, reviews the Kingdom Chaser/Clout Chaser/Straight No Chaser Venn Diagram of sorority archetypes, discusses the sorority symbols that had the most hot-girl energy, to lusting after the mystery of a non-Greek suitor who (if you can believe it) attended college to *learn,* to name a few. Kate also discusses the differences between NPC and NPHC and then snorkels the submitted responses for how chapters sugarcoated the reasons for why a girl wasn't the right "fit" by saying things like she's "worldly" "cute" or "nice," among other adjectives that are compliments in real life but death wishes in the Greek system. However, like any true sorority girl, we always end on a positive and Kate promises this will be the last Greek Life-related ep for 2022. Enjoy!

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Store22 Aug 202201:59:18

This week, Kate discusses Bama RushTok from a slightly different angle, exploring the elaborate gender performance and implicit artifice of sorority recruitment in the context of being interpreted as [postmodern] 'camp' and a form of high art to consume, per the insight of Tiktok users @shorthouseplant and @themostes. The meaning of camp made the internet collectively melt down in 2019 following the Met Gala (given its defining characteristic being an inability to be concretely defined), but Kate attempts to explore how as a society we've embraced this incredibly unserious process with a serious level of investment perhaps due to the naïveté of those earnestly performing within these exaggerated circumstances. She also deep dove breakout star Kylan and just needed someone to talk to about the high/low of her dorm room, her pageant trajectory and [alleged] last minute switch to Bama, and her hypothesis about what's going on behind the scenes when you show up to Bama rush with a catch phrase and complete ~11 brand deals in 14 days of high exposure. Kate also spends a solid amount of time thinking of the bumping process as a sort of performance art, and talks about the increased showcasing of dancing/cheerleading talent in Tiktok videos, where the performance of sorority values in the form of costumes and choreography is not only performed for positioning among PNMs, but now to the world, and Kate's worried about the HS cheer gals being pulled out of retirement to do roundoff back handsprings in spirit skirts on concrete in the name of sisterhood seduction. Hope it's a great episode, not just a good episode!

Soft Swinging for the Fences14 Aug 202201:46:25

This week, Kate is joined by her sister to discuss what they've been up to, e.g. their unforeseen TV debut, Kate's new appreciation for sports, and the latest updates with the "soft swinging" scandal they recorded about for Patreon in May. Then, they snorkel listener submitted topics like nostalgic foods, first day of school outfits, what it's like to be the 'planner' of the group, making new friends in a city, The Summer I Turned Pretty, favorite fictional bands, and much more.

Kate-lilah #15 (Answering Listener Voicemails)01 Aug 202202:10:05

This week, Kate is in and out of coherence as she records responses to listener voicemails throughout week 2 of fertility treatments. Kate-lilah is a play on radio icon Delilah's soothing highly subjective advice and once a quarter Kate answers listener questions, requests for advice, or plays commentary called into the show's voicemail hotline (312) 379-9676.

Sami is a Girl's Best Friend24 Jul 202202:20:46

This week, Kate is joined by Sami Sage (Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Betches) to have a stimulating conversation while they both happen to be stimulating their ovaries. They discuss their respective decisions to freeze embryos (briefly! skip mins 15-25ish if you want to dodge fertility talk), then venture into topics that are half light pop culture and half a deeper religious discussion (Kate's favorite combo!). First, they discuss their feelings about being renters/city dwellers, then talk about TS and her involvement with Crawdads and David O. Russell, Ben and Jen, DeuxMoi's identity reveal, Jen Shah pleading guilty, and Kate's frustration in feeling like Miami swim week on Tiktok is VS fashion show deja vu. Then, Sami shares some of her experiences and observations in the context of Judaism that are related to the topics Kate often covers re: Evangelical Christianity. She discusses the differences between identifying as secular or non-secular, shares some differences about Jewish summer camp relative to Kate's experiences, discusses what purity culture looks like in the context of certain Orthodox practices, explains the antithetical nature of abortion laws, etc. Overall a balanced and interesting episode that hits on hot topics and also provides a helpful perspective about commonly discussed topics on BTI5 in the context of another faith experience. Enjoy!

An Elephant Never Forgets18 Jul 202202:24:07

This week, Kate talks through a prompt from a listener about the times somebody said something to you in passing that ended up burned in your brain about your appearance, skills, competence, personality, etc. In a conversation about why words matter (revelatory!!), Kate rages through insults, side comments, and backhanded compliments listeners submitted that were likely meaningless on behalf of the messenger but transformational in their messaging long term. She also discusses her own list of personal experiences with offhanded comments or passive aggression and which are in red, underlined. At one point she also reviews her questionable choice to venture into the anonymous q&a box on Instagram and talks through some other personal musings about people that make a personality type out of being "brutally honest" and what that's really doing for anyone's life. Enjoy!

Preaching To The Fryer10 Jul 202202:22:41

This week, Kate discusses Evangelical influencers, from more extreme transitions, e.g. a fashion influencer who now offers deliverance from abortion demons (?), to the reality-star-to-preacher-pipeline of young women of faith that are talented public speakers like Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson and The Bachelor's Madi Prewett that now use their platforms as ministries. Kate also plays clips from other mid-sized influencers, masochistically watches a couple videos from Girl Defined, and talks a bit about her experience analyzing the persuasive tactics of Evangelical preachers. Specifically, how she draws parallels to motivational speakers and MLMs that all talk in the same way, who do things like verbally paint big metaphors from tiny anecdotes, engineer emotional buildups that culminate with guilt and a scream-crying call to action, and then manufacture feelings of hopefulness after purposefully tearing you down. All in the context of wanting people to be mindful of the people that influence an incredibly influential voting bloc that has taken away our bodily autonomy, White Evangelical Christians. Enjoy!

Pinnie For Your Thoughts03 Jul 202202:09:21

This week, Kate takes on the topic of P.E. class and snorkels through the obscure political origins of the Presidential Physical Fitness exam, the trauma of locker rooms, public weigh-ins, wearing of never-washed mesh 'pinnies,' and the annual dangling of herself and her dignity from a pull-up bar, among other memorable elements of 90s/00s gym class culture that would likely not hold up today. She also talks about her tall girl complex and body image issues and wonders how metrics of athletic prowess influenced her sense of physical identity, then muses about how not being 'talented and gifted' likely had similar scholastic implications. Mostly she does things like complain about how traumatizing running the mile was for a good 10 minutes, but not before examining the weirdness of loose gym uniform shorts and the frequency of relying on a peer to hold your feet downwind. Part personal anecdote, part historical research, part crowdsourced, this is a lighthearted nostalgic ep that hopefully allows you to escape these trying times over the long weekend. Enjoy!

Can I Be a B*tch for a Second? (feat. Normal Gossip's Kelsey McKinney)27 Apr 202501:40:09

This week, Kate unpacks the art, science, and history of gossip with Kelsey McKinney (from the beloved podcast Normal Gossip and author of NYT bestselling book You Didn't Hear This From Me). They explore a variety of angles for this topic, such as how dismissing gossip as "women's talk" has historically been a tool of patriarchal control, religious institutions, or corporations, etc., and how gossip networks have actually served as feminist resistance channels throughout history. They also examine their complicated relationship with parasocial relationships and "entitlement gossip," forever navigating the fine line between being messy Bs who love tea and recognizing gossip's legitimate social power. Enjoy!

Mary Had a Little Scam27 Jun 202202:23:59

This week, Kate discusses our obsession with scams and scam documentaries, and does a spin-off of the popular Tiktok prompt of "what's something that is a scam but we've normalized it so much we no longer realize it's a scam?" from her personal list of grievances, e.g. The American Dream, bridesmaid dresses, student loans, only married couples receiving benefits, among other things, and also goes through crowd-sourced submissions of things people think have big scam energy. She also details her disdain for True Crime as entertainment and explores why she prefers this category. However, she begins by discussing the Supreme Court overturning the landmark case of Roe v. Wade announced Friday, while she was away from equipment and had already recorded this week's episode (so forgive her, this section was done very last minute), but she uses the first half-hour to address perhaps the biggest scam of all: that people believe restricting access to abortion care is pro-life when it is unequivocally anti-women and stands to put countless lives at risk by forgoing human rights and medical best practice in favor the intervention of dangerous political and religious ideologies.

Put me in, Coach bus19 Jun 202202:25:47

This week, Kate meanders through the art of the K-12 field trip, sharing her own nostalgia along with crowdsourced funny, poignant, and shocking tales from listeners about their memorable field trips. From obscure locations to buddy system politics, museum gift shop culture, coach buses versus school buses, chaperone assignments, seeing your crush in the wild in street clothes, hookups mid-transit, to processing confusing feelings about historical war reenactments, this episode has something for everyone! She laughed, she cried, she questioned why the public school system wanted us to churn butter so badly. Enjoy!

She's Just Not That Into Ew (Dating Advice Deep Dive)12 Jun 202202:42:00

This week, Kate discusses the world of dating advice, both interpersonal and professional, from the books she read in her single days like Why Men Love Bitches, He's Just Not That Into You, and other best-sellers like Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man or The Rules. She also discusses the confusing nature of casual advice we give our peers and loved ones that can be grounded in anecdote despite being delivered as gospel, causing us to weigh the subjective input of others far too heavily on important matters that impact our personal lives. She also discusses how sociopolitical climates influence generational beliefs about relationships and marriage, and how those tropes and cliches taught to young people infiltrate current generations with irrelevant advice about gender roles that deserve a great deal of nuance and free will to be applied to your circumstances (e.g. why buy the cow). Then, since Kate went to California last minute to have a bday drink with her sister, she asks Kelly to chime in as they read listener-submitted examples of advice Beths said their well-intentioned loved ones incessant provide about dating that they find dismissive, condescending, cliche, and/or sexist as single women. This episode is not designed to give advice but to help us all be better friends by analyzing the nature of unproductive input. Enjoy!
