I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

Here we are at Week 2 of Peter the Pilot’s Bachelor journey to find love and we already have a gate. CHAMPAGNEGATE.  It was the popped cork heard around the world and the unfortunate GIF of Kelsey that will never die.  This week Some Guy in Austin and I carefully choose our jet setters, first class upgrades, and the ones who need to check their emotional baggage.  I’d like to warn y...

Week 1 of Peter the Pilot’s Bachelor journey was jam packed, am I right? Not only did we witness some cringe-worthy icebreakers as a handful of women embarrassed themselves on the freshly-sprayed mansion driveway, but we had the privilege of witnessing Peter make out with half the cast during the cocktail party. Eight women were sent home on night one. Of these were all three flight attendants, a...

Hey everyone, We’ve got some fun news! I’m partnering with my new friends Amy and Scott over at Last Night’s Game to bring my listeners and readers our first ever Bachelor bracket!  When searching for a source that breaks down sports in an easy to understand way, Amy and Scott couldn’t find anything, so they created it. I love that about them! They give you short, sweet, entertaining sports...

Since Stephanie and I recorded the Hallmark Christmas movie preview , we’ve both received numerous messages asking us — FOR TE LOVE TELL ME WHAT TO WATCH. So we decided to do just that. There are four good ones to check out, four very bad ones to steer clear from, and a plethora of “meh.” And yes, I do give my vote for BEST KISS of the 2019 season. Is the anticipation killi...

Picking favorite movies from the decade was a hive-inducing activity for my friend Todd. He had so many Oscar-nominated films to sift through and had a hard time painstakingly analyzing what deserved his recommendation for IHGB podcast listeners. I, on the other hand, had a much tougher job. Do you know how many musicals and sort-of-romances have hit the big screen since 2010? So many, my friends....

Although show runners haven’t officially included photos and bios of Peter’s pack of ladies on the ABC website, I decided to take matters into my own hands and do a little digging myself. I’ve been doing this for sixteen years. You people, my lovely readers, expect me to be in the know! Of course, I’m never in the know. I don’t like spoilers and I rarely choose the pe...

It’s my first holiday segment of our It’s a Love Story series and I’ll let you in on a little secret: Lara and I have been waiting to talk about this movie for YEARS. Way back in episode #4 , we talked about our favorite big screen love stories and Lara wanted to feature The Holiday . I asked her to wait until December. Then not one but TWO Decembers rolled by and I forgot both times.  So here we...

Hey everyone! A big thank you goes out to Some Guy in Austin and Mrs. Some Guy in Austin for stepping up to the plate VERY last minute to help with this week’s episode. While I handle unexpected medical stuff with my dad, these two crazy kids put together a pretty good podcast! You’re going to love it. And just think: Without me and my blog, they never would have met! I take full credi...

Hey everyone! I’m so glad you are tuning into this very important episode. There are several news stories that have wiggled their way into my subconscious, so I asked Some Guy in Austin to help me process through my emotions of what all this means to my life. We discuss Taylor Swift, the new bachelor Peter Webber, and of course, Kanye West. And if you want to know everything about this y...

We are back to celebrate another romantic comedy in my “It’s a Love Story” series, sponsored by my book conveniently titled, “ It’s a love story .” This is our ELEVENTH romcom, which is so awesome. And I don’t plan on retiring the series anytime soon.  In this episode, comedian extraordinaire Kerri Pomarolli and I discuss the 1986 cult classic Pretty in Pink . This movie taught us that we should l...

Hey everyone! Well, I’m heading into uncharted territory. This is a topic I know very little about: FASHION! I invited my friend Natalie Weakly  to discuss who in the world of pop culture has managed to make their style iconic.  Other than the thunder and the helicopter that flew through in the middle of the podcast, I think you’re going to enjoy this episode. I learned so much, including the fact...

It’s the most wonderful time of year! It’s the time when Stephanie and I get together on Halloween to celebrate Christmas! Thanks to Hallmark’s addition of 40 brand new holiday movies, the channel has decided to bust out the yuletide cheer in October. How else are we supposed to watch all the forlorn women wandering around the Christmas tree lot in winter white coats fall in love with the rug...

Hey everyone! I had a ball recording this episode with my friend Amy because I am a huge Mumford & Sons fan. I was minority intrigued with their Sigh No More album, completely obsessed with their Babel album, and have lightly stalked lead singer Marcus Mumford for the better half of a decade. It’s not weird. Everyone calm down. I do the same thing with Our Host Chris Harrison and Chris Pine. I...

Hey everyone! Well most of you know that I’m a huge Disney fan and several have asked when I’m going to do a podcast on my Disney travels. Today is that day! My friend  Stephanie and I walk through our last vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida , offering tips, suggestions, and how we feel you can make the most of your experience since you’re paying all that money to ride a roller coaster and g...

’Tis the seasons my friends!  No, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving turkey or yuletide cheer. I’m talking about autumn and all of its amenities.  For some of you, it’s the invasion of pumpkin-spice infused things, including but not limited to: coffee, muffins, for some reason Oreos, hand sanitizers, candles, and Burt’s Bees chapstick. For others, like me, autumn means we can break...

There’s a cold front rolling into Texas and we expect temperatures to dip into the high 80s any day now. But since it still feel like the surface of the sun outside, my friend Stephanie and I hightailed it to the movie theater to beat the heat.  What did we see? I’m glad you asked.  We saw Downton Abbey and it was everything I wanted it to be. Was it a blockbuster hit that will break rec...

It’s time for another “It’s a Love Story” episode and for some of you, this is a doozy. For others, you may be annoyed by all the laughing. And coughing.  You see, when I invited Mama to join me again on the show, she insisted on talking about The Sound of Music even though I told her it was more of a musical than a romance. Instead of disowning me for suggesting such a thing, Mama...

Paradise is CLOSED. And I couldn’t be happier. We survived! And I couldn’t be happier. Our Host Chris Harrison looked amazing. And I couldn’t be happier. Peter is our new Bachelor. And I couldn’t be happier. Unless it was Chris Pine. Then I would ask Peter the Pilot to fly me straight to that mansion so I could throw my hat in Chris Pine’s ring. Nothing would make me...

It’s the episode of episodes. Some Guy in Austin and I trudge through the final days in Paradise, discussing how Caelyn plans to survive in Dean’s van and Blake’s inability to find love on the beach, even though it was super easy at Country Cochella. We also recall THE most embarrassing rejection in Bachelor franchise history and who we think will end up with a ring on it besides Hannah. Congratul...

Welcome to the fall movie preview BONUS episode!  Today my friend Todd and I will be discussing our favorite picks for movies coming to theaters near you from September to December. Get ready for lots of nostalgia, royalty, freezing temperatures, and all the Oscar-nominated films Todd wants you to see.  Oh, and we also discuss the hot mess that is the movie version of the beloved stage m...

In this episode of the iHateGreenBeans podcast, Some Guy in Austin and I discuss John Paul Jones’ crying, Blake’s complaining, and Old Matt Donald’s sweating and inability to kiss a woman. And then there’s Dean. Insert eye roll HERE! We also talk about the possibility of Derek as our new franchise cover boy! Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. Bachelor. Please tell me you g...

In this episode of the iHateGreenBeans podcast, Some Guy in Austin and I remove the snooze fest that was The Goose and Krystal’s wedding and instead concentrate on more important things. There was a verbal argument. A Disney princess strutted her stuff. A mustache caused tears that were immediately wiped away by a boy. A very tall boy.

Back in episode 24 , which was almost two years ago, my roommate Lara and I broke down Taylor Swift’s Reputation album song by song. To this date, it’s one of my most popular episodes. Why? Because you people are very passionate about Taylor Swift’s music. I thought Reputation was dark, which was jarring for me coming off of her 1989 album. However, some of the tracks grew on me and I ca...
