I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

After attending the George Strait concert at the Houston Rodeo, my love for the King of Country was invigorated. Naturally, I had to talk about it with my roommate Lara. In a phrase? George looks G-O-O-D. Way to keep it tight, Mr. Strait! EPISODE NOTES George has a new album coming out called “ Honky Tonk Time Machine ” that sounds pretty good! If you’re in for a “so bad, i...

In this podcast, we are going to talk about movies hitting the theater in Spring 2019. As always, my friend Todd is with me so he can bring a little culture and refinement to the conversation. I, on the other hand, am cartoon savvy, superhero sensitive, and have a book coming out that celebrates my love for a good old fashioned romantic comedy. ( Hitting shelves, both real and digital, on April 30...

Well, we finally reached the end of The Bachelor season. For those of you who were thinking “WHAT WAS THAT,” I feel your frustration. For others who are thinking “REJOICE!

But this episode is all about Colton’s journey to find someone he calls “f...

It’s the podcast you’ve been waiting for. COLTON FINALLY JUMPS THE FENCE! Well played, ABC. You sucked me in thinking I cared more about the single bound leap, then juked me with Cassie breaking Colton’s heart into itty bitty pieces. I did not see that coming. In this episode, Some Guy in Austin and I break it all down for you. We discuss Cassie’s father, her lack of commun...

It’s hometown week for Cole’n and he is on the struggle bus. Does he pick the girl who makes him break his bread into tiny little bits? Or the one who drinks strawberry wine? How about the one who shoves him out of an airplane? Or the one whose Daddy does not give his consent? Some Guy in Austin and I answer these questions and discuss the rose ceremony that had fans issuing forth a strong &#...

I’ve got a bonus episode here for you and it’s all about THE OSCARS! Who won? Who deserved to win? Which nominees are worth watching? Of course I don’t know the answers to any of these questions because out of the big categories (actor/actress/director/picture) of the winners I saw a grand total of ZERO. I can tell you all about A Star is Born , Black Panther , and Mary Poppins Returns . I didn’t...

Well, we’re at a crossroads in Colton’s journey to find love where our bachelor has reached a breaking point. Although our boy is feeling ALL the feels, the one dominating his heart right now is confusion. Who is here for the right reasons? What is the Hogwarts Express doing in Colorado? When will Caelynn let down her walls and start cursing like a sailor in front of everyone? Where is the rest of...

I can’t believe we are already six weeks into Colton’s (or Coco if you’re from Red Oak, Texas) journey to find love. Listen, he’s on the struggle bus and I don’t blame him. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss in great detail why we think women are dropping like flies. We compare and contrast Cassie’s “after school special” date from last week to Hannah’s “Lincee is behind the couch cushion again” one...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I think you’re really going to enjoy this one. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss several important topics like: Bungee jumping: Fun or idiotic? Leaches: Helpful or Harmful? Demi: Smart or Brilliant? Before you listen, I’d like to disclaim two things: 1. Some Guy and I go off on a slight tangent and laugh so hard there’s silence.  2. I pronounce Caelyn’s name as a doub...

Happy Wednesday y’all! In this episode, Some Guy in Austin and I power through our befumblement, as we try to figure out the following: Pageantgate is a real thing. Who’s telling the truth?

Or bot...

Hello to you and good-bye to 2018. Can you believe we are already on the edge of 2019? Doesn’t it seem like yesterday some of us were worried about generators and canned goods in prep for Y2K, while others (yours truly) were worried about transitioning from CD music to digital? Was that just me? Moving on. My friend Todd and I discuss our favorite movies from the fall and our top picks for t...

It happens every December.

It’s finally happened. Our Host Chris Harrison announced the women vying for Colton’s heart (THREE HOUR DEBUT &#821...

This episode is one of my favorites and it was one of yours last year, too. My friend Ranelle and I discuss new Christmas music! So many artists came out with holiday songs this year and Ranelle tells us what to watch for. I do need to apologize for the banging noise. I think Ranelle and I were excited and when we’re excited, we both talk with our hands. So we bumped the mic or the table a few tim...

My good friends over at Oasis Media sent me digital sample chapters of my book Why I Hate Green Beans and you get to listen to them FOR FREE today! I’m one of those people who love an actual tangible book, but I also love when an author reads his or her memoir. With an audiobook, you can hear my sarcasm, dramatic pau...

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! I know the holidays can be exciting for some and rough for others, so my friend Laura and I decided to podcast on the art of forgiveness. Ironically, our podcast revolves around pop culture phenomenons that we are working on, but have not fully forgiven. Let me share some examples that didn’t make the show: On Poldark , Caroline calls her husband Dr. Ennis. What’s...

Hello everyone! This week’s podcast is significant for two reasons: 1. It’s been 20 years since my friend Jill and I were world-famous Jungle Cruise Skippers during our internship at Disney World. Although that number is regrettably high, Jill and I both think that we could still pass for college interns if we were to commandeer a boat on the Jungle Cruise and regale audiences with our wit and cha...

Halloween is over and that can only mean one thing… It’s time to size up the new Hallmark Christmas movies! My friend Stephanie and I rate all twenty-two selections and decide if we want to watch them based on the provided promo information alone. You’d be surprised just how many received a solid, “YES! Pour me some nog and I’m there!” based on three sentences and a staged photo....

Happy Thursday everyone! I’m very excited about today’s show. I’m with my sister Jamie (who you may remember from the 80s movie podcast or the dance movie podcast) and we discuss our favorite greatest hits albums. For those of you who aren’t yet thirty years old, we explain exactly what a “greatest hits” album is in the opener. Never fear. We each chose a female artist, a male artist, and a group...

Happy Thursday everyone! Today’s show is a little on the abstract side. Some Guy in Austin and I are talking about famous COWBOYS! I mean actual cowboys, songs about cowboys, movies about cowboys, what it takes to be a cowboy. And toward the middle of the show, you get an extra treat. In a rare moment Some Guy in Austin starts SINGING. If it wasn’t one of the best songs in the history of ever, I w...
