It's Britney, Beth (Side B) Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

Kate discusses the #FreeBritney movement with Rebecca Grant, a licensed probate attorney who is a subject matter expert on conservatorships. Kate aims to further understand why Britney's situation is so unique and at times, suspicious. Additionally, she fact checks of a lot of the questions she has about the speculation, memes, and twitter threads. For example: What can and can't a conservator force her to do? Is she being forced to work? Why can't she hire her own attorney? Why would they check the dementia box for a 26-year-old woman? How is she, now 38, still in this incredibly restrictive conservatorship and deemed to be incapacitated, yet appear to work, tour, rehearse, run an empire, etc. successfully? All this and more on this 2-part Be There in Five Deep Dive!

It's Britney, Beth (Side A) Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

A #FreeBritney deep dive covering the career and conservatorship of the inimitable Britney Jean Spears. This week, Kate takes on a highly requested and unbelievably layered topic, the #FreeBritney movement. Side A contains the discussion of a lot of the speculation, memes, and twitter threads, along with a full timeline from 1999; side B (will be posted a bit later) is a recorded conversation Kate had with an incredible licensed probate attorney (Rebecca Grant) who will help her deep dive into the nature of a probate conservatorship. Understandably, there's a big piece of info that's sealed about this case, so everything is speculation, but they'll fact check the theories discussed in the first episode and answer the big questions to the best of their ability. For example: What can and can't a conservator force her to do? Is she being forced to work? Why can't she hire her own attorney? Why would they check the dementia box for a 26-year-old woman? How is she, now 38, still in this incredibly restrictive conservatorship and deemed to be incapacitated, yet appear to work, tour, rehearse, run an empire, etc. successfully? All this and more on this 2-part Be There in Five Deep Dive!

Crack an egg on your head, let the yolk run down Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

This week, you're invited to a virtual bridal shower where Kate reads listeners' funny and cringy stories from our favorite parties where we watch people act SHOCKED to open gifts that they've already picked out. Instead of mourn the absence of these important milestone events, Kate wanted to celebrate them and get excited for their return by reflecting on things like all the off-registry gifts you also wish you could return. She also discusses her fear of women's khakis making a comeback, reflects on the pile of clothing she swears she'll sell on Poshmark, pleads to resist the return of low rise denim, talks through some of her country music conspiracies, and then muses about her happy place: a mid-afternoon luncheon at your godmother's house in the suburbs where the weird compliments about your 'figure' are as prevalent as the soggy Costco pinwheels and ambitiously bite-sized Caprese skewers. Enjoy!

Housewives & Hollywood (with Garcelle Beauvais) Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate is lucky enough to be joined by actress, model, host, author, and new Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Garcelle Beauvais to talk all things housewives, reality tv, getting discovered, her incredible Hollywood career, her book series, Gen Z parenting, pivoting to housewives, dramatic RHOBH moments this season, and more! Kate also does her own RHOBH recap then discusses recent current events before and after the episode because she can't get over what's going on with Naya Rivera, the Hype House drama, and the [kinda solvable??] Unsolved Mysteries. A little bit of something for everyone, just like the menu at Buca di Beppo: Encino.

Who Ls, Who Ds, Who Ts Your S?! (New Hamilton Deep Dive) Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

This week (in a different version of her deep dive than the one that is on Patreon), Kate decided she wanted to contribute further to the hype of the pop cultural phenomenon that is Hamilton to celebrate the release of the original cast album's performance on Disney+ this Friday. This deep dive includes a discussion on the themes, symbols, motifs, and broader cultural impact of the play as a whole, but only dives into the songs of Act I to give people a baseline understanding of what's going on. Act II will still be released on Patreon as planned, but Kate felt that she needed to update her opinions of what the show means to her and how she connects it to modern day as we reflect on our country's founding on the heels of Independence Day. Happy 4th, be safe, wear a mask, and raise a glass to freedom :)

Act II will be posted on: patreon.com/bethereinfive

The (Gen) Zequel Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate dives into the recent 180 people have done in terms of their opinion of Gen Z. Now being labeled as activists, heroes, and vigilantes, it's clear that on this pod we need to clarify that we've come a long way from Tide Pods and continue the conversation we started during the episode "We Need to Tok." Beyond discussing a little more about the psychographic characteristics that define Gen Z and how they relate to Millennials, she also formally responds to Gen Z's recent roasting of Millennials on Twitter & TikTok. Then, she dives into Gen Z's political activism and role in the recent Trump rally, explains K-pop's involvement with social causes and the power of leveraging their stan-dom for causes beyond boy bands, while also exploring the other side of the story as it relates to issues of racism within a fandom that's largely being heralded for fighting racism. Enjoy!

Influence in the Time of Social Injustice (with Jessie Bernhardt) Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

This week, Kate has Jessie Bernhardt on the podcast to discuss influence in the time of social injustice. Not only the response of influencers and the responsibility of having a platform, but also the importance of factoring in our own influence in our daily lives. They discuss the disparity of the response relative to other Black Lives Matter efforts, the responsibility of influencers in combatting social injustice, the importance of sharing, elevating (and tagging!) Black creators, a couple of the influencer scandals, and overall how we can be more inclusive in the workplace and in our daily lives.
