I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

Today’s episode is one that many of you have requested: LOVE TRIANGLES! I wrangled my roommate Lara into helping me out with this one and since we were so controversial in our romance movie podcast, I have no doubt y’all will have thoughts on these particular trios. Fair warning: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. We discuss the qualities that make a compelling trio, famous love triangles in pop culture, and...

Some Guy in Austin is back! And we are excited to share our favorite duets. Note: A duet is different from a duo. We explain this in the opening of the show. The Judds? Duo. “That Boy is Mine” by Brandy and Monica? Duet. See the difference? I think I should also point out that my duets are way better than SGIA’s. It’s my opinion, but it’s true. EPISODE NOTES: “...

If you take the time to really think about it, Cinderella stories are all around us. My friend Stephanie has a version that she ADORES. I have a feeling some of you are going to be incredibly disappointed that I have neither seen nor heard of it. But I’m going to remedy that soon. EPISODE NOTES: Stephanie’s first Cinderella experience: Rodgers and Hammerstein My first Cinderella experi...

I understand that this podcast title may be confusing. Let me explain: When listener Kara suggested this topic, I was validated because I’ve been circling it for a while. However I didn’t just want to do dance movies because most of my favorite dance movies are musicals. And I already did a podcast on musicals . (It was wonderful, by the way. You should listen!) But in Kara’s email to me, she phra...

In this episode of the I Hate Green Beans Podcast, I’m back with my roommate Lara discussing a fun topic. With the onset of Easter, we decided to share our rising stars with listeners. We talk about musicians and actors, but we also talk about iPhones, royal events, and craft beer. Basically we talk about what has risen — just like Jesus. EPISODE NOTES: Lara and I discuss the new TV show Rise and...

Now that Bachelor Arie found love, proposed, changed his mind, said JUST KIDDING on national television, bought a ring for number two, proposed to her (also on national television), and is off cashing in his fifteen minutes of fame, I’ll be focusing on other pop culture related episodes of the podcast. I know those of you who don’t watch The Bachelor are virtually high-fiving me right...

We made it through another season. Arie’s finale was a doozie . After the Final Rose was a hot mess. I’m sure it met every expectation ABC anticipated for the big event. There was a jilted bride, a girl power moment, speculation, a bland “apology,” very little closure, a reunion, an engagement, a new bachelorette announcement, a banjo, a few chaches, and a horse. What more...

Notice I didn’t use the term “fantasy suites” in the title of this podcast. Why? Because a yurt is not the equivalent of a suite. Some Guy in Austin and I talk about this in too much detail and try to puzzle through the different ways Arie and Becca could go to the bathroom. We discuss our favorite moments from Women Tell All and I fill SGIA in on which American is dating which international Bache...

Hooray for Bachelor Arie’s hometowns! I know we joke about this all the time, but that was the most dramatic rose ceremony ever, right? Who saw that coming? Well, I sort of did. In the final moments. Some Guy in Austin talk about it on the podcast. We also talk about “Charlotte’s Web,” the infamous Jump and Straddle(R), and who we think of the remaining three has the best c...

Y’all, we have SO much to talk about with The Bachelor AND Bachelor Winter Games . But first, I want to thank everyone who came out to the book launch on Monday. I had a fabulous time meeting people and signing books! I apologize to those who were expecting a recap yesterday. I just couldn’t make it happen. However, The Bachelor was playing at the party. It was a DOOZIE! Some Guy in Au...

We are halfway through Bachelor Arie’s journey to find love and the only thing anyone cares about at this point is Krystal’s nodes and Baby Bekah’s marijuana farming job. It was a full episode of various dates in Paris — the perfect place to fall in love. And the perfect place for the ABC censor guys to drop in all sorts of black modesty boxes. To these brave people, I say THANK YOU. For tho...

Justin Timberlake’s new album dropped a few days ago and I’ve listened to it enough to make my opinion known. In a nutshell, I liked ‘Man of the Woods’ leaps and bounds better than Taylor’s ‘Reputation.’ My roommate, friend, landlord Lara and I discussed ‘Reputation’ back in Episode 24. You can listen to that one HERE . Lots of people had issue...

It’s week five and Arie has not yet found love. Dr. Tia found it, but he hasn’t quite yet. After sitting through a lot of Krystal, I’d say the episode circles around the topics of bowling, 21 Questions, and cannibalism. Some Guy in Austin and I spell it out for your here. And now for some links! Bachelor Recap: Arie Week 5 Subscribe to Podcast: iTunes or Android Newsletter Subscr...

Well, we finally know how Arie feels upon the revelation that Bekah is 22-years-old. Devastation. Horror. Heartbroken. Pain. The poor guy had to hold it together at dinner while tears pooled in his eyes as he did the mental math to come up with a fourteen year age difference. He likes her, but she’s not going to win. I don’t think Arie can do it. We also discuss survival skills, how Se...

It’s week 3 and Arie has taken the liberty of dumping one of the Laurens who was in my top five. My bracket is officially busted. The only thing that can cheer me up is if you pre-order my book ! It’s going to debut in three weeks and I couldn’t be more excited unless I was a GLOW lady from the ’80s who is making a comeback in 2018 thanks to reality television producers nee...

Arie is in week 2 of his journey to find love and I’m already frazzled by the changes ABC has made in our usual second episode agenda. Arie hosts TWO girls with their own one-on-one dates. He even flies to Scottsdale so his mom can meet her clone from 35 years ago. WHAT IS GOING ON? A HOME TOWN DATE ALREADY? WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP? If you’re interested in reading Arie’s episo...

The past several days have been an emotional roller coaster. I had a death in the family, so the premiere of Janu-Arie took a back seat to spending time with loved ones. And I think you can hear it in the podcast. Thanks so much for listening and I promise I’ll do better next time! If you’d like to read the recap, you can click HERE . Otherwise, get ready to sift through the hair exten...

I saw Pitch Perfect 3 and have lots of thoughts. Everyone knows I love a good girl group singing with only their mouths (thank you Chloe for that description) and my love for the franchise has been well documented on this website. Here’s a link back in 2014 when I wrote about my love for the original and here’s a link to my movie review on the second installment . Where does Pitch Perf...

My friend Todd, who talked about the winter movie preview on podcast 23, is back to discuss one of the films we were most looking forward to: Star Wars: Last Jedi. That is a lot of punctuation in one sentence. We have our likes, dislikes, and a whole lotta questions. So find your light saber, snuggle up to your porg, and listen as we try and figure out why Princess Leia was flying through space.

Well, it’s finally happened. Bachelor Arie is back and his ladies have officially been announced . I couldn’t be more excited. In keeping with tradition,  Some Guy in Austin and I break down the cast one-by-one, based on information we’ve gathered from their profiles. Join us as we try to figure out how we are going to tell all the Laurens apart. And giggle with us like adolescent school chi...

My friend Ranelle has been a connoisseur of new, original holiday music for years. She does all the research and then tells us what we need to listen to. So now I’m telling you! And because we are in the Christmas spirit, I created a Spotify playlist so you can check out all the songs we discuss on the podcast. Santa is going to be so proud of me for being such a good blogger. I hope he fina...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Hallmark Christmas movies have literally been playing since the 4th of July, preparing us for this podcast. My friend Stephanie and I discuss the brand new additions to the Hallmark holiday pantheon and we do our best to help you decipher between all of the charming town squares, struggling Christmas tree farms, and spontaneous snowball fights that b...

When my friend Catha told me her son was being a turkey this week (read: misbehaving) I was inspired to record a podcast. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Some Guy in Austin and I discuss Bachelor franchise villains, or turkeys if you will. We dive deep, dear reader, reaching way back into the vault for some of these jokers. Not surprisingly, our list was quite long. Villains gotta vil.

I’m guessing many of you have never even heard of the movie Shag . I’m sad for you and excited for me that I get to change that! My friend Stephanie and I discuss this wonderful little film in GREAT DETAIL (read: spoilers included) and we are super pumped to share our enthusiasm with you! Please ignore my weird, scratchy voice and instead bask in the glory of a darling coming-of-age st...
