Summary

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including Kate’s problems!! First, there’s an intro detailing the chaotic series of events that happened this week while stuck in Texas, e.g. having to cancel a show for the first time, a cryptic doctor’s voicemail, a hotel scam, and a confusing housing situation, among other things. Following that, podcast regular Merritt Beck joins Kate (as both her host for the week and a guest for the pod) to have a casual conversation whilst pregaming an icy walk to a bar to mourn the delay of Track 5. They discuss things like influencers leaving Instagram for the algorithm, putting kids on the internet, the magic of “getting ready” in college, DARE, Instagram husbands, home decor styles, dating as an influencer, among other things. Part 2 of A&F (and mall models/Barbizon!) coming next week but Kate hopes this will be sufficient for now given the unforeseen circumstances. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hi everybody welcome back to the Be There In 5 Podcast. I'm Kate Kennedy your host.
0:28.6	That was Daniel Powder and the other powder was the fresh snow that glistened as it fell
0:36.3	on notoriously frigid and treacherous winter wonderland and famed ski town Dallas, Texas
0:42.9	where I was stranded this week. From Tuesday to Saturday trying to figure out if we were
0:51.0	in the Lone Star State or the city of Arandell and if everything would be frozen and my
0:56.7	show couldn't happen. When I tell you the stress of playing God and having a crystal ball
1:02.3	and predicting what may or may not happen in a town I don't live in, in conditions that
1:07.5	I live in all the time that are vastly different when you don't have infrastructure somewhere,
1:12.7	it was both a trip and a trip you guys, literally and metaphorically. A lot happened. I don't
1:18.9	know. I'm so lucky to have merit on the podcast today who I stayed with for the entire time
1:26.1	and I think something I did not expect to do to crash with somebody. First felt like a
1:31.9	week. She was such a good sport. You guys know Merit Beck she's been on my podcast. Before
1:38.7	as like a royal correspondent and I'll tell you what went down but like down to the wire
1:44.1	like Friday night when I was still in Dallas when my show should have been happening and
1:48.0	it wasn't yet I was still there and going absolutely crazy. I was like I didn't have
1:54.4	time to do my other episode. I don't know when I'll get home. It's due Sunday. Can we
1:58.2	just record something? I just recorded us talking. It might be chaotic but this is what I've
2:03.8	got this week and I swear that we're going to do the Abercrombie episode. Not that anyone
2:09.8	really cares but people submit more stories. I just wanted to leave room for people to
2:14.1	send in stories that are pretty juicy and I'm going to combine it with what I call raising
2:19.1	the Barbizon which I have crowdsour stories of people that went to John Robert Powers
2:23.7	and Barbizon and like John Casablanca. It's like mom modeling plus back of magazine
