Summary

This week starts with Kate sharing an update about how her birthday surprise turned out along with the weird coincidences and special moments that made her hopeful she’s headed for Better Days. Relevant to the surprise, the first hour or so is a nostalgic snorkel covering carnivals, concerts, and 90s mumbly pop rock (feat. an intense argument for why the Goo Goo Dolls are the greatest), followed by an interview in the second hour with 3 very esteemed guests, Kate’s husband’s sisters Rachel, Claire, and Ally. Kate and her sisters-in-law cover a variety of pop culture topics, mostly about late 90s/early 2000s emo, punk, and pop alt rock artists and their ability to be considered "cool" or not, featuring a conversation surrounding perennial pop cultural punching bag: Nickelback. A funny and lighthearted episode all around featuring a random pocket of popular culture. Note: The second half of this episode was originally posted to Patreon as a bonus, but the first half is brand new! Enjoy.

Hi everybody, welcome back to the Be There In Five Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy, your host.

0:14.0

Thank you for allowing me to emote last week on my birthday. I wanted to get some of those

0:23.2

sentiments out there while it was relevant and you know I love an evergreen episode and

0:27.9

I figure if anybody approaches their birthday and needs some validation that it's not

0:33.1

weird to feel emotional or confused or for your feelings to intersect, you can refer back

0:38.6

to that episode. Today's episode is kind of fun and random and pop culturey but I do

0:44.2

want to say if you want to watch the documentary Lula Rich about Lula Row and all its culty

0:50.2

MLME, creepy, religious, glory, it's not the leggings are so, it's not even power clashing.

0:56.0

And just the leggings are deliberately being rude to your eyes. It's so bad. But I'm going

1:01.7

to interview Amanda Montel, the author of Cultition Words Let. You've heard me talk about MLMs

1:06.0

and cults enough. It'll be fun to talk to an expert to get a different perspective.

1:10.0

So if you want to watch that this weekend, we'll talk about that next week. So working

1:12.9

on my deep DIY, I mean other things. But this is actually something I recorded over

1:18.6

Labor Day that I was going to use last week but instead I'm using this week that actually

1:22.8

kind of worked because of what Greg and I ended up doing for my birthday. That was the

1:26.2

surprise. The back half of this episode is an interview and a recording over Labor Day

1:32.4

with myself and Greg's three younger sisters that are so funny and fun. We have the best

1:37.6

time together and we talk a lot about like 90s pop, punk, emo, music. We talk about the

1:43.9

pop cultural punching bag that is knuckleback. I put this episode on Patreon last night if

1:48.7

you subscribe to bonus episodes because I was going to use it for my birthday week and

1:52.9

then I realized I didn't use it. Then this week I'm talking about my birthday and the stuff

1:57.3

that happened and then I go into this diet tribe about like 90s pop rock music anyway
