Hello everyone! We've made it through an entire season of ups and downs, and finally, we have the answer to who Zach chose at the end of his journey to find love. Some Guy in Austin and I break the finale...
Hello everyone, It’s the week you’ve been waiting for. Fantasy suites. Forgo cards. Horizontal tango. It doesn’t matter what you call it, what matter is what happens behind closed doors. Or what DOESN’T happen in Zach’s case. Or should I say, what doesn’t...

I’m about to say something you never thought you’d hear from me, Lincee Ray, who has been recapping this “darling” reality show for twenty years. Are you ready? The Bachelor made me wiser. I actually gained knowledge while watching on Monday night....
Hello, everyone! Well, last week, my grandmother passed away, and this week we had two funerals. It's been an emotional rollercoaster, but I was able to knock out a podcast. Once again, Some Guy in Austin and I are all over...
Hello, everyone! Well, I want to start off by explaining my absence from last week. Because of my new work schedule, I typically record my podcasts on Thursdays and hustle hard to edit and produce them the same day. On Friday,...
I don’t want to be a big fat bummer, but I have a complaint to start off the podcast. First, something weird happened with our audio. About twenty minutes into the podcast, my program kicked me and Some Guy out. No...
Hello everyone! It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together to watch a very tall white man journey to find love. I will have you know that this season marks TWENTY YEARS since I’ve been recapping this darling little show, and...
Hello everyone, Let me start by saying a heartfelt thank you for downloading or listening to this podcast. It truly feeds my soul to have so many friends of the show tuning in and visiting with me on social media. It...
Hello everyone! I went to see Reba McEntire with Lara, and it was exactly what we hoped it would be. The concert had EVERYTHING. Multiple costume changes, a fun-loving crowd, an execution of "Fancy" that still gives me chills, and an...
Hello everyone! Once upon a time, Lara and I reviewed Taylor Swift's Reputation album about six hours after listening through the tracks a few times. We concluded that we didn't like what we heard and worried about Taylor's well-being. As the...
It's been a minute since we shared our favorite TV shows and movies, so I invited Todd to help me sift through what's good and what's not. Remember, Todd is my friend who will watch the dark and twisty shows,...
Get excited, Univeral lovers, because my friend Stephanie is here and she is an expert. Steph is fresh off of a conference at Universal Orlando, and she shares all the ins and outs of how to do this park right. *...
I'm here with Lara to discuss our AMAZING summer concert series with the incredible Thomas Rhett, Garth Brooks, and Michael Buble. I promise we love women artists, too, but this summer just happened to be an all-male showdown. And it was...
We've reached the end of the road, dear reader. Rachel and Gabby's journeys have come to an end. As we celebrate two proposals, one breakup, one reunion, and the announcement of our new Melba Toast bachelor, I'm reminded of why...
Hello everyone! The Urban Dictionary defines the phenomenon "dumpster fire" as the following: A random series of events that are hot messes, train wrecks, and colossal fails that are totally out of your control. In other words, Season 19 of The Bachelorette. EPISODE NOTES: Here's...
Hello everyone! One quick disclaimer before we get started. It’s the fantasy suites, people, and that means Some Guy in Austin and I are going to be talking about some very adult stuff. You might want to earmuff the little ones...
Hello everyone! Well, the Men Tell All episode is traditionally a big fat boring flop. But this year, ABC made it extra weird by interjecting a ton of product placement. Luckily, Some Guy in Austin is back to help me report...
Hello everyone! A thousand apologies for the delay of this podcast. Several barriers hindered me from recording on a regular schedule. My physical therapy was first to blame, but then silly mediations got in the way of Some Guy in Austin...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
Hello everyone! The eighth edition of the IHGB Summer Book List is ready and here for you! All you have to do is click HERE, and you'll be whisked away to titles upon titles categorized in specific genres. We've got Fiction, Non-Fiction,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Hello everyone, Sadly, I missed last week’s introduction into Clay-en’s season due to a little virus known as COVID wrecking havoc on my immune system. I’ve been writing about this silly show for nearly twenty years, and the idea of missing an...
It’s over, people. Finally, Michelle has found her soulmate. Or her soul-Nayte, if you will. Some Guy in Austin and I give you the highlights of what went down. We also work in Top Gun and Aerosmith references because we are professionals...
Michelle has decided on the final two who will continue to galavant around Mexico, vying for her heart. We all have to be okay with it, even though her choice doesn't' technically make sense to some. And by "some," I mean...
To keep with the tradition of past Men Tell All recaps, I will boil down one hundred and twenty minutes of footage into a handful of points that shed light on the important pieces of information we gathered after watching...
It’s that time! Hometowns are here, and we get to see a bunch of dysfunctional people try and puzzle through how their loved ones could fall head-over-heels for a complete stranger in a matter of weeks. I’ve said it once,...
