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 and fast-forwarding through the show. 



Some Guy in Austin and I also talk about his epic birthday present. I can’t wait for you to hear what I got him. 



No, it’s not Emily Maynard. But it’s close.

IHGB #246 -- Bachelorette Michelle Men Tell All: Apology Accepted

Celebrating all things Bachelor and Pop Culture

TV & Film


Hello everyone!



I've finally sort of recovered from our Scandinavian trip to see Taylor Swift! And let me tell you, dear listener, it was an absolute delight. In this episode, Lara and I discuss everything, including the concert, the people, how all the bicycles in the world currently reside in Copenhagen, and the possibility of moving to Norway if it was summer weather all year around.

IHGB Podcast #345: Swedish Swifties


Hello everyone!



Today’s podcast is another in my “It’s a Love Story” series, sponsored by my book of the same name, which just celebrated five years of existence. I can't believe how time flies and how this is my twenty-fifth podcast about my favorite love stories! 



What's even weirder is that I have never podcasted about one of my favorite movies: Ever After! Just listen to this synopsis!



This updated adaptation of the classic fairytale tells the story of Danielle, a vibrant young woman who is forced into servitude after her father's death. Danielle's stepmother is a heartless woman who forces Danielle to do the cooking and cleaning while she tries to marry off her own two daughters. But Danielle's life takes a wonderful turn when she meets the charming Prince Henry.



Ever After taught us that strong, feisty women know how to throw an apple and hit a moving target, have no problem climbing trees, and can learn to expertly use a sword by the age of eight. We also learned that you should always help an elderly artist who is being robbed by gypsies in the woods. And that a lady's voice should not be louder that the gentle hum of whispering wind. 



I love this movie with my whole heart. It's not about magic wands or fairy godmothers. It's about true love. Sure, the prince and his bride did live happily ever after. But the point, dear listener, is that they LIVED!

HERE is the trailer to Ever After!

IHGB #344 -- It's a Love Story: Ever After with Mama and Aunt Shelia


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, so if you're looking for murder or scary or think pieces, he's your guy. On the other hand, I talk about Pretty Little Liars for way too long. We make a great team.

IHGB #343 -- Now Playing: Volume 4 with Todd


Hello, everyone!



Well, it's Tortured Poets Department time. Lara and I took a few days to digest Taylor Swift's new double album and are ready to share our initial thoughts. If I had to describe the piece in a few words, I would choose "raw" and "brooding." So, if you're looking for a 1989-ish sing-a-long, I'm afraid this isn't the era for you. With that said, Lara and I are intrigued by this album and the 31 glimpses we have into the soul of a tortured poet.

IHGB #342 -- The Tortured Poets Department Review with Lara


Hello, everyone!



If you are a reader, this is the episode for you! I am with two of my book-loving friends and I made them sit around a darling kitchen table to share what they are devouring lately. From my research, the 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. These women are pros, and they didn't really need to know that I'm currently reading the Selection series. For the third time.
