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. Enjoy and follow @geethanksjustboughtit for gift ideas!
