Summary
This week, Kate and Caroline Moss revisit the beloved Mama Slay at the Lake episode with a director's cut of our delirious 6 AM conversation about irreverent merch, warm beans, Facebook walls, Maxine culture, and Steve Madden platform loafers, followed by a brand new conversation where we get into pun drift, Disney adults in matching shirts, the grievance merch pipeline, Kate's Hamilton/American Girl mashup, and why lake town signs are the truest window into the suppressed psyche of second home motherhood. JFK Jr. and CBK content will be up later today on Patreon! Enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. |
| 0:12.0 | Welcome back to the Be There in Five podcast. |
| 0:14.0 | I'm Kate Kennedy, your host. |
| 0:16.0 | So this week, going back and the Be There in Five five archives is a guested episode and my first |
| 0:23.4 | directors cut with the guest i saw my friend friend of the pod who many of you know and love |
| 0:31.2 | caroline moss i saw her last week to see whitney levitt Broadway with her and Nora and Kate Bear to other |
| 0:41.0 | people. I'm sure many of you know and love. And we had so much fun. And Whitney was great, |
| 0:45.8 | by the way. I talked about this on Patreon, but she had good breath control. She could belt |
| 0:49.2 | within reason. Roxy is a stunt, like, is stunt casting. And I don't think her range is, like, meant to be as, like, Broadway as the vocal power of a usual Broadway star. |
| 1:01.7 | But, like, I don't know, to go from zero to Broadway. She started training what in December, debuted late January? I think it was really impressive. She looked great. She's so beautiful. Connor was in the audience. It was what was funny is there was like a rumor in the snack bar line. And I don't know why, but I heard two different people say this. And maybe it was just a bad game of telephone, much like, you know, I'm a stay at the lake, to namaste at the lake, to mama's late at the Lake is a tough game of telephone in terms of a painted phrase on Driftwood. |
| 1:30.1 | Speaking of, we talk about pun drift in this episode, which is one of my favorite concepts. |
| 1:33.9 | What was I saying? |
| 1:34.7 | Oh, there was a rumor in line that I heard two different times that someone said Tom Cruise was in the audience. |
| 1:40.3 | And I went back and I was going to tell the girls the rumor. |
| 1:44.0 | But then I saw |
| 1:45.0 | Connor. Love it. Completely forgot. The way that these reality stars have like a bigger place in my |
| 1:51.3 | head and my heart than, you know, the biggest movie stars of yesteryear is kind of wild. |
| 1:56.6 | I would have been interested to see Tom Cruise because I don't think he's been without |
| 1:59.7 | handlers like in 40 years from Scientology, but also, I feel like if I even made eye contact with one of |
| 2:05.8 | them, like a white van, would show up outside of my house, which I don't want that for myself. |
| 2:10.6 | But also very excitingly, we saw Yon of Lavender Hayes, ladder-humping fame at the Taylor Swift Dayars tour, Riley and Lindsay Arnold |
