I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

There must have been a blue moon Monday night because Andrew has left the building. I repeat: ANDREW has left the building.  Some Guy in Austin and I break down the episode by answering the questions that keep you coming back each week for more. For example: Has Greg ever seen fake rain before? Did anyone else think of Georgia O’keefe during that group date? Who cuddles their mom and do you w...

Hello everyone! Let’s talk about Week 6 of The Bachelorette . Katie is making major strides in her journey to find love as she cuts FIVE guys from her roster.  Some Guy in Austin and I break down the episode by answering the questions that keep you coming back each week for more.

Hello everyone! Let’s talk Week 5 of The Bachelorette .  Just when you think Katie eliminated all of the problem children from the resort, Hunter decides to tap into the monstrous side of his Jekyll and Hyde personality. I clocked thirty minutes of harmonious bliss before Hunter slipped into a wrestling singlet and willingly slammed his body into anyone holding an orange ball.  And when...

Hello everyone! Well, it was The Thomas Show on this week’s Bachelorette . This is not an exaggeration. The contestants talked about Thomas, participated in a group date, talked about Thomas again, waited around for a rose ceremony, and talked about Thomas some more.  That is why Some Guy in Austin veered way off topic more than once during the show. But, in our defense, I do think you will f...

Let me tell you, dear listener, week 3 of Katie’s journey to find love was a lot. So I took a page from the sharing circle we witnessed on Monday night and asked Some Guy in Austin to discuss the big picture questions surrounding the epic episode. For example: Is Thomas a Chach? Or playing the game in the most genuine way possible? Is he just being honest and saying what everyone else is hid...

Hello everyone! Well, it was a wild and crazy second week. One that left Katie dropping hardcore F-bombs, not once but twice in a matter of twenty-four hours. I’m not sure if you picked up on this, but some individuals may not be here for the right reasons. Some Guy in Austin discuss this reality, along with some other things we noticed, such as: Does the Canadian have bear claw tattoos on his che...

Who knew that when Katie sauntered up to Matt James with an adult toy in hand, she would one day be forever memorialized as the twenty-fifth woman to hold the title of Bachelorette? She’s “sex-positive,” and if you don’t like it, you can hit the road, buster.  Some Guy in Austin and I break down week one of Katie’s journey to find love. So what floats this woman’s boat? We determined it’s han...

Some Guy and I break down our favorites, our dark horses, and the jackwa...

Hello everyone! I’m excited to have my roommate Lara join me on today’s podcast to discuss none other than country music sensation, Thomas Rhett. You should know that when I asked Lara to tell me three songs she would recommend you listen to, she looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head.  I’m supposed to let the record show that she loves all his songs, but she played by the rules...

Listen, I’m so glad Some Guy in Austin picked 16 Candles as his favorite movie as we finish up the Love Story Series. How I’ve managed to record nineteen of these episodes without mentioning this John Hughes classic is a mystery.  Just listen to this FUN synopsis: With the occasion all but overshadowed by her sister’s upcoming wedding, angst-ridden Samantha faces her 16th birthday with...

Hey everyone! To honor Mother’s Day, I asked Mama to come on the show and visit one of her favorite movies for my love story series, which celebrates my book, It’s a Love Story . I still can’t believe it is two years old!  If you recall, the last time Mama was a part of this series, she chose Pretty Woman, and because of the subject matter concerning Vivian’s line of work, I had to blee...

Because we are hardcore pop culture fanatics who want to provide our color commentary on one of the most anticipated nights of film making, Todd, Lara, and I watched all seventeen hours of the 2021 Oscars so we could bring you the latest and greatest Hollywood superstar winners, according to The Academy.  We have lots of thoughts. Unfortunately, eighty percent of them have nothing to do with...

We are doing things a little differently this month with the love series (sponsored by my book: It’s a Love Story ” soon to celebrate two years of existence next week – THAT IS CRAZY. In this episode, I’m discussing Save the Last Dance with my roommate Lara. Yes, this was my first time watching this movie, and your guess is as good as mine as to what I was doing in January 2001 to miss...

We are doing things a little differently this month with the love series (sponsored by my book: I t’s a Love Story soon to celebrate two years of existence – HOLLA! This week I’m discussing Hope Floats with my rocket scientist/author friend Rebecca.  That’s right. She’s both left brained and right brained. Of all the romantic movies in the world, I’m glad Rebecca picked Hope Floats . Wh...

Get excited, Disney lovers, because my friend Stephanie is here and she is an expert. Steph is fresh off of a family vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida, and she shares all the ins and outs of how to do a Disney vacation during the time of COVID. Mask wearing in Florida heat: Is it miserable? How are you supposed to social distance while standing in a line for Space Mountain? You can’t meet C...

I’m pretty excited about this episode because it’s all about The Big Dance. Am I talking about March Madness? The NCAA Basketball tournament? Well, no, but my roommate Lara and I are discussing how dance has been woven through the tapestry of our lives.  Is Centerstage one of the top dance movies of all time? Is Centerstage one of the best dance movies of all time? (hint: yes) If you had to c...

Hey y’all! To say that Bachelor Matt James’ season finale was the most dramatic is an understatement. Although most of you probably knew the controversy that swirled around Rachael, one of his final two picks, I can report that many other moments had me wagging my finger at the screen, sucking in my breath in shock, and shaking my head in disbelief.  I will guess that most of you listening al...

Well, it’s fantasy suite week, and there were way more tears than I would have anticipated for a time that traditionally is celebrated with champagne toasts, chocolate-covered strawberries, and “do not disturb” signs for the door. Seriously. There were lots of reasons to cry, and Some Guy in Austin and I discuss them all. For example: Is ABC the worst for trotting out Matt James’ dad for a firesid...

Because I love you so, so very much, I chose to end a rather tasking week by plopping myself in front of the television so I could trudge through the Golden Globes so you didn’t have to. Of course, I made Lara and Todd trudge with me because everyone knows trudging by oneself is like watching The Bachelor by oneself. You end up wondering what life is all about while stuffing your mouth full of lef...

Hello everyone ! As with most  Women Tell All  episodes, I prepared myself for a night full of ruffled feathers and consuming a stiff drink in anticipation of a long episode that could easily have been culled to twenty-five minutes of important information. What I didn’t expect was the power to go out for three hours, forcing me to retreat to the only other person in my life who still ha...

Hello everyone ! Who knew that a girl wearing puka shells all over her white gossamer gown could cause such a fuss, am I right? Some Guy in Austin and I break down week six of Matt James’ journey to find love, and we tackle many questions along the way.  How many bolts are missing from those carnival rides? How many Temecula Road songs can you name off the top of your head? Is the turtle...

Hello everyone, Matt James has picked up his Swiffer and is cleaning house. The mean girls are GONE, and Some Guy in Austin and I have many questions we try and answer in this episode.  Should “raking manure” be considered an actual date? Is MJ there for the right reasons? Does she really promote peace and harmony?  Could Kit be a fairy living in the human world? When is a good time to t...

Today is a special podcast. I’m recording my 200th episode, and I have each of you to thank for it! Your downloads and listening ears are the reason why I get to do what I love, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I asked my roommate Lara to help me celebrate this fun milestone. As we did with the 100th episode, Lara and I decided to share with you all of the things that are Two Hundo...
