Katie Moneygrabz reignites Apple feud with Big Cat on new Shrinkage episode
TLDR: Katie Moneygrabz used her Shrinkage podcast debut to tell her Barstool origin story — then turned around and threatened Big Cat over apples again.
Shrinkage built its reputation as Barstool's call-in advice show, mixing tough love with genuine empathy on everything from traffic rants to real life crises, with Danny Conrad among the regulars behind the mic. The newest episode flipped the format around and put the guest, Katie Moneygrabz, in the spotlight to explain how she actually got into the company in the first place.
She teased the episode herself beforehand, warning followers she'd "get real weird and depressing" once the mics went hot, which tracks with a show built for uncomfortable honesty rather than a highlight reel.
But the origin story wasn't the only thing trending off the episode. Kate also fired the latest shot in her ongoing bit with Big Cat over apples, posting a supposed statement from the "President and CEO of Apples" threatening to whoop Big Cat's ass if he ever talks about her or apples again. It's a running joke between the two, not a real statement from any actual fruit-industry executive, but it's clearly a bit she has no plans of letting die.
“And tell @BarstoolBigCat I’ll whoop his ass if he ever has the guts to talk about me or apples ever again.” - Jim Bair, President and CEO of Apples
She kept the apple riff going a few hours later, joking about "green apple slidez" like it's old news to anyone who's followed the beef. Whatever set this off originally, it's become a recurring bit that pops up any time Kate and Big Cat cross paths online.
A separate clip going around shows Kate on the same orange Shrinkage set discussing her path into the military, another slice of the personal backstory she opened up about during the sit-down.
Between the origin story and the apple beef reheating in real time, it's a full-circle episode for Kate — introducing herself to the audience while reminding everyone the Big Cat bit is still very much alive.
