I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

Hello, everyone! It’s that time of year when Stephanie and I get together to discuss our favorite Christmas movies! But this year, we are focusing on Netflix films rather than Hallmark. But never fear. We do have our Hallmark Christmas movie watch list ready to share with you, based solely on artwork, titles, and a brief blurb. Spoiler alert: We will both be tuning in to watch Oy to the World. With a name like that, we HAVE to see what happens!

Hello, everyone! I took a little break for Thanksgiving and, during that time, I went to see the musical Wicked: For Good with my friends Lara and Stephanie. In this episode, Lara and I break down our feelings and try to decipher how we REALLY liked this movie versus the feeling that it wasn’t as good as the first. It’s hard to explain, but we do our best! Wicked: For Good will do that to you, my friends. It’s light and fluffy compared to dark and brooding. It’s pink against green, yet at the end of the day, the entire experience changes you. For good.

Hello, everyone! We’ve reached the dramatic conclusion of Mel’s journey to find love, and in the end, one woman was left standing. Because the other woman self-eliminated. It happens. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss the reasoning behind this woman’s departure, and debate if Mel would have chosen her if she had just “finished the game” and accompanied him to the fantasy suite. We also take a deep dive into Mel’s fears which include: dune buggies, stingrays, non-Hoka shoes, emotional conversations, and sentences that involve more than five words. Notice I didn’t list that he was afraid of commitment. Golden Mel never once thought about proposing! He’s not AFRAID of commitment. He’s just not interested in it. Luckily, I don’t think Peg is either!

Hello, everyone! We all know Women Tell All is the worst. Luckily, you have me and Some Guy in Austin to entertain you for roughly half an hour as we discuss Debbie's audition to become the next Golden Bachelorette and Nicholle's blatant damage control, which should be a master class in PR. Did the sensible pink blazer win her audience points? Listen and find out!

Hello, everyone! Well, it's hometown dates, and our Golden Bachelor, Mel, is happy to answer any questions with one-word answers. In the spirit of fairness, he's unwilling to tell family members that he sees a future with anyone at the moment, deeming his situation unique and complicated. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss how Debbie's family is totally fine with this, as long as Mel comes back and plays football with them in the backyard. Peggy and Cindy's daughters are a little more guarded. In the end, Mel chooses between three women who perch precariously on a tiny wooden beam laid over the swimming pool. The woman without a rose manages NOT to fall into the swimming pool as she dismounts, heading to the rejection bench and awaiting the rejection SUV. Ten bucks says this woman is the next Golden Bachelorette!

Hello, everyone! Well, we have a great show for you today. Some Guy in Austin and I have so much to discuss, and most of it revolves around Nicholle and if she is THE WORST. Spoiler alert: I think she might be. In this episode, you will learn so much about fair foods, Real Housewives, the Cardinal Rule of Bachelor Nation, and if lemon-based desserts are superior to all others. Oh, and we talk about The Golden Bachelor, too.

Hello, everyone! Some Guy in Austin is back this week, and we discuss all things Golden Bachelor! We have tons of questions to answer, such as: Why does The Bachelor continue to try to make roasting happen? IT IS THE WORST. Is Debbie the cutest thing you've ever seen, and will her heart be inevitably broken on national TV? And when considering skirt lengths, how short is too short for a sixty-plus-year-old woman? No one wants to see your upper thigh, Nicholle. Correction, no one besides Mel wants to see your upper thigh, Nicholle.

Hello, everyone! We are back with Golden Bachelor Mel and his journey to find a woman who doesn't care about what he said months ago about wanting to find a match who is fifteen years younger than he is, with no artificial joints. Isn't this fun? ABC wasted no time finding delightful women with very forgiving hearts. They think Mel is a catch, and they will stop at nothing to prove to him that women in their golden years are full of life! Full of energy! And, if your name is Nicholle, full of cringe-worthy moments that involve her tongue down Mel's throat. Can someone find me a couch cushion to hide behind, please? Thanks!

Hello, everyone! If you are a reader, this is the episode for you! I am with my book-loving friend Paula, who shared her book recommendations with us last year! She's thankfully agreed to indulge me with a podcast, and from my research, her list is pretty good! Please know that I provide nothing other than an occasional question of verification or a hearty laugh. It was the best decision, trust me. Paula is a pro, and she didn’t really need to know that I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series. For the third time.

Hello, everyone! Well, COVID is still hanging on tight to my lungs, which is super fun. Not only am I a walking zombie, but I just learned some disturbing news that I share with Some Guy in Austin! Thoughts and prayers to me, and to Dale and Kat for not pulling off a win. But don't worry, Kale. There are no losers on this podcast. Here, we are all winners. Unless you come at me with some nasty green beans, then it's over. SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to Podcast: iTunes or Android Follow Me: Instagram and Twitter

Hello, everyone! Covid hit me hard right before we recorded. Please disregard my intermittent giggling, the occasional coughs that went unedited, and the deep breaths I took randomly throughout the episode. I'm off to take a nap now. Enjoy the show!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Survivor version of The Bachelor, where all notions of people falling in love for the right reasons have shifted to strategizing how to stab your best friend in the back for a chance to win half a million dollars. Uncle Neil and his flashy diamond engagement rings are so yesterday. Some Guy in Austin and I break down everything you need to know, discussing how and why people got voted off the island. Not one but two couples were forced to leave paradise, and the results may shock you as to who is left to outwit, outsmart, and outplay the others.

Hello, everyone! The game has officially changed, my friends, and Some Guy in Austin and I discuss what we think is going to happen in the upcoming episodes. Now that everyone has officially coupled up either for the sake of love or the sake of half a million dollars, we have no doubt that ABC is about to come in and ruffle some feathers. Bailey and Jeremy are potentially going down. Parisa and Brian are about to be dunzo. Lea can barely speak to Jon-athon at the moment, and the goldens are trying not to pass out from dehydration. All that to say, I think some feelings are going to get hurt, and my hope is that Jess and Spencer can pull out both a win and an engagement by the time Wells shouts "LAST CALL" from the bar. A girl can dream. SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to Podcast: iTunes or Android Follow Me: Instagram and Twitter Audio Player

Hello, everyone! Some Guy in Austin is back, and let me tell you, he is LOVING this season of Bachelor in Paradise. Okay, loving it may be a bit of an exaggeration, but he is tolerating it. Yes, that's the right word. Some Guy in Austin is TOLERATING Bachelor in Paradise because he knows he has a job to do and that is to report on the ins and outs of this season's debauchery. Between the feathery "Birds of Paradise" contest and two goldens enjoying a psychedelic trip on chocolate-infused drugs, we've got a lot to talk about this episode.

Hello, everyone! This is Lara, and I am excited for you to listen to the show, even though this was one of the cringiest episodes in Bachelor in Paradise history. Was it the golden body shots that did me in? Or Captain Kim's poem? Thank goodness it doesn't really matter now. I've deaded it. Deaded. It.

Hello, everyone! Well, this episode is a bit different for two reasons. First, I am not sharing the mic with Some Guy in Austin, and second, I'm not recording in Houston! I've taken the show on the road for vacation! But that doesn't stop me from clapping alongside those lucky people who are trying to find love. Consider me Team Spencer and Jenn FOREVER! Now, about those goldens, I am all for those seventy-year-olds to find love, too. But do I want to see them making out on inflatable unicorns and doing body shots all day? Nope. That's a hard pass.

Hello, everyone! Bachelor in Paradise is BACK, and I'm here to tell you that I AM HERE FOR IT! Some Guy in Austin is still questioning the new format, but I am one hundred percent leaning into the chach factory that the new show runners have cooked up for us. In this episode, we cover love matches, love triangles, and lost love. We also discuss ways the rejected boys could have done things differently, such as having a conversation, not being a dork, and calming down. We're looking at you, Hakeem. Bless your heart, my guy. Bless your heart.

Hello, everyone! It's been a minute since ABC aired a season of Bachelor in Paradise, and let me tell you, I am READY for the debauchery. As long as the golden bachelor and bachelorettes are more of a mentor situation, I'm here for the shenanigans that will unfold on the beaches of Costa Rica. Does Some Guy in Austin remember half of these people? No. But that's why I'm here! In this episode, I'll provide little tidbits of information to help you scourge your brain for any memory of these jokers. This does not apply to Ricky. No one knows who he is, and that's okay.

Hello, everyone! Summer is definitely summering here in Texas, but the heat can't stop Some Guy in Austin and me from podcasting in the glorious air conditioning about things that bother us. He sent me a list of his "pet peeves," and some turned out to be more of an idiosyncrasy variety. Pointing that out to him, it turns out, is also a pet peeve of his. Go figure. At least I didn't touch his food. EPISODE NOTES: 75 Pet Peeves That Are Annoying SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to Podcast: iTunes or Android Follow Me: Instagram and Twitter Audio Player

Hello, everyone! My roommate Lara and I just got back from a wedding in Canada, and in this episode, we are going to share details about everything you need to know about Lake Louise, the Fairmont, and this incredible drink we discovered. No, it's not a double, double from Tim Horton. It's much smoother than that!
