I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

I want you to get excited because Some Guy in Austin and I answer all your questions this episode so you can properly prepare for next week’s hometown dates. These include, but are not limited to the following: Is ABC setting up Nate, the Michael B Jordan of Bachelor Nation, to be our next lead?  What is Rachel hiding in the ginormous sleeves of her red Lady Diana gown? Is Tino getting...

Hello everyone, Are you shocked to hear my voice this early in the week? It’s weird. Some Guy in Austin and I are both out of town, so we recorded the show mere moments after it aired on Monday night. I’m here to tell you that our thoughts are fresh yet confused as ever. We answer burning questions in this episode. For example: How delicious is a Belgian waffle? Is Belgian chocolate better than ot...

If you’ve been around here for a minute, you know that the iHateGreenBeans safe word is PINEAPPLE. I screamed it at my television when I wasn’t rolling my eyes at Rachel’s incessant crying. Why? Because there were no less than 539 close-ups, tight-angled shots of kissing, tongues, lips, and one very unfortunate “smell my armpit” moment. Some Guy in Austin and I try to sift through the nonsense to...

Well, it was an eye-opening show, that’s for sure. I’ve never seen so many tears, snotty noses, and drunken hiccups this early in the season. The boys had the power. So our bachelorettes TOOK IT FROM THEM. And it backfired in their tight faces, leaving many unanswered questions. In this episode, Some Guy in Austin and I try to get answers to these questions. For example: Did no one con...

Seriously, y’all, the franchise has gone off the rails. Don’t get me wrong — I am HERE for it. But the lack of structure makes my brain hurt. And I don’t watch  The Bachelorette  so my brain can hurt. I watch  The Bachelorette  so I can hide behind my couch cushion in horror while rolling my eyes in disgust.  To be clear, there was a lot of that going on last night. Howeve...

I can confidently presume that no one on the show, including Uncle Jesse and our lovely leading ladies, has any idea what’s happening in this season of  The Bachelorette.  It’s clear by the lack of detail, the confused facial expressions, and the glaring omission of rose ceremony roses that the entire production team threw all caution to the wind, confiscated a cruise ship, and decided...

Hello everyone, Well, my surgeon got COVID, and my knee surgery was postponed for two weeks. I allowed myself to be irrationally irritated for 24-hours before embracing the silver lining. For example, Some Guy in Austin and I had the chance to podcast our thoughts and feelings concerning the young men who will be vying for the love of not one but two bachelorettes.  That’s right. Gabby and Ra...

One quick note before I start. I am having knee replacement surgery and will probably be posting podcasts sporadically during the month of June. It just depends on how my body responds to everything. I assume that I should be fine since I’m receiving a surgery reserved for someone in their golden, but those who have read my book understand that my body doesn’t respond to things the way...

Hello everyone! When Some Guy in Austin came to me suggesting we podcast about one of his types of movies, my first reaction was to turn my nose up at the thought of watching something boring on the History Channel. But then he dropped the name “Patrick Swayze,” and I was all ears. Road House is awful. But it’s so good at the same time. Join us as Some Guy in Austin and I break d...

We lost an incredible entertainer this week. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss how Naomi Judd built a bridge between her heart and mine. She was a determined woman with a talented daughter and a dream. May she rest in peace. EPISODE NOTES: Here’s a Spotify link to my Judds playlist! SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to Podcast:  iTunes  or  Android Follow Me: Facebook and  I...

Hey everyone! Continuing with the celebration of romantic comedies and my book It’s a Love Story , I’ve asked Lara to come and talk about her favorite love story of all time: NOTTING HILL ! Join us as we sift through the timeline, spinning back to 1999 when all we worried about was Y2K and if there would be enough batteries in the world to sustain banking software. It was a simpler age. One where...

Y’all, I went back and forth if I should confess this or not, and I decided that the Internet is forever, and this information is totally Google-able. I thought this was the first time I have ever discussed greatest hits albums on my podcast. Something felt very déjà vu about the afternoon I recorded with Some Guy in Austin. But I kept blowing off the feeling that I had done this before. I a...

This month, we are doing things a little differently with a love series (sponsored by my book:  It’s a Love Story ” soon to celebrate three years of existence next week – THAT IS CRAZY. In this episode, I discuss  My Best Friend’s Wedding  with Mama.  Did you know that  My Best Friend’s Wedding  celebrates its 25th anniversary this summer? Can you believe it’s been that long since we felt ho...

If you follow me on social media, you know that Lara and I dropped everything to attend a Thomas Rhett Where We Started album release party in Nashville this last weekend. As we said multiple times during the forty-eight-hour experience, “The Lord has found favor in this trip,” and we share all the magical details in this episode. Check out “Where We Started,” and thank us...

Hello everyone! Lara and I are back for our Third Annual Slam Dunk podcast celebrating March Madness. In this episode, you will hear a list of our favorite things that are dunking on all the other things as of late. We also share our “around the rim” picks and even a few airballs. Even though our real brackets busted forever ago, you can take these slam dunks to the bank. EPISODE NOTES...

The 2022 Oscars will forever go down as the day Will Smith non-jokingly slapped Chris Rock in the face on national television. Also, some people won awards and stuff! Todd, Lara, Andrea, and I provide fresh, initial thoughts on our feelings on the smack, the winners, the losers, and the films we will definitely be watching as a result. EPISODE NOTES : The following are the 2022 Oscars Best Picture...

Hello everyone! I’m feeling wishy-washy about this episode. Why? Because I haven’t technically worked out my feelings. It’s like that time Chandler said on Friends , “Can open. Worms EVERYWHERE!” Am I mad? Disappointed? Conflicted if Clayton is the worst bachelor in franchise history? Am I happy? Relieved it’s over? Counting down the days until Serene’s br...

Y’all. What is happening on The Bachelor? How did we have so much drama packed into forty-five minutes? There’s so much to unpack, and Some Guy in Austin and I make it our mission to figure out precisely what Clay-en is thinking. Was he going 3 for 3? Does he really love three women? Can we count on that volcano being dormant? Would Susie have walked away with the Future Mrs. Clayton E...

Well, it seems like just yesterday, Clay-en was the big, bumbling guy trying to capture Michelle’s attention by building forts for children out of hotel bed sheets.  Now he’s buying flowers, meeting parents, and attempting to judiciously answer the question, “Do you love my daughter?” It’s hometowns. That means scary siblings, difficult dads, and random wannabes who are either vying for scree...

Hello everyone, Well, it was a big night, dear listeners, and with the help of a Freudian psychoanalyst, Clay-en has managed to narrow down his prospects to four women who appear to be here for the right reasons.  Some Guy in Austin and I break down each date, providing details on what we feel were moments of gold. Look no further than Chris de Burgh. Yes, the “Lady in Red” singer transports...

Hello everyone, Some Guy in Austin and I are back with this week’s episode of the iHateGreenBeans podcast, and we discuss so many important things that helped us navigate through last week. Such as: Valentine’s candy. Are you a conversation heart person? Or would you prefer not to eat chalk? The Super Bowl halftime show. Great? Or old? Hot chicken on a cold salad. Yay or Nay? Backstreet Boys vs. N...

Hello everyone! Well, I’m back. Sort of. The last few weeks have been extremely emotional with the passing of my father. I find myself laughing one second, crying another, and somehow hungry through it all. Grief is weird. But when you have a built-in community of people who care about you, it makes the pain much more managable. I do have a community of strength around me. And that includes...

Can you believe the last time we discussed music and movies on this podcast was SEPTEMBER? What in the world? That explains why Todd’s list of binge-worthy shows and films is as long as my arm. The good news is that I recruited Lara to join us to help Todd sift through the dark and twisty shows since I don’t enjoy watching people get killed for no reason. Additionally, Lara helps me ta...

Hello everyone, Before we jump into this week’s episode, recapping everyone’s favorite wooden bachelor, I wanted to remind you that the show will NOT be on next week. I believe the NFL takes precedence over Clay-en, and Monday night’s slot is reserved for football. Which is fine. That gives y’all plenty of time to click on the link in the show notes to join our very own Bachelor bracket with Last...
