I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

Hello everyone!

This week’s podcast is significant for two reasons:

1. It’s been 20 years since my friend Jill and I were world-famous Jungle Cruise Skippers during our internship at Disney World.

2. Mickey is celebrating his 90th birthday this week. I think it’s appropriate to salute the cartoon mouse who first sparked my imagination as a kid and helped me to dream big as an adult. Mickey, young Lincee – and slightly older Lincee who can still recite the entire Jungle Cruise spiel – are forever grateful.

This one’s for you.

Halloween is over and that can only mean one thing…

It’s time to size up the new Hallmark Christmas movies!

My friend Stephanie and I rate all twenty-two selections and decide if we want to watch them based on the provided promo information alone. You’d be surprised just how many received a solid, “YES! Pour me some nog and I’m there!” based on three sentences and a staged photo.

Our 2018 selections are solid, thanks to a town gazebo, a town festival, a spontaneous snowball fight in the town square, Elvis Presley’s GRACELAND, a Christmas version of the Tinder app, a royal Christmas romance, and a certain Town Sheriff named Gage McBride.

Andy Williams was right. It is the most wonderful time of the year.

Also, I have a great Halloween snack mix recipe at the end of the show. I experienced this past weekend. Can you say game changer?

Happy Thursday everyone!

I’m very excited about today’s show. I’m with my sister Jamie (who you may remember from the 80s movie podcast or the dance movie podcast) and we discuss our favorite greatest hits albums.

For those of you who aren’t yet thirty years old, we explain exactly what a “greatest hits” album is in the opener. Never fear. We each chose a female artist, a male artist, and a group and explain why they deserve to be in the pantheon of greatest hits.

Narrowing it down from a list of fifty, that is not an exaggeration, was quite the task. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. And that includes the summer Jamie timed me to see if I could go get her a drink from downstairs in less that a minute.

Now that was a stressful day…

EPISODE NOTES:

Jamie’s Picks:

Queen’s Greatest Hits

Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael

Madonna: The Immaculate Collection

Lincee’s Picks:

Chicago – Greatest Hits: 1982-1989

The Very Best Of Prince

Whitney The Greatest Hits

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today’s show is a little on the abstract side. Some Guy in Austin and I are talking about famous COWBOYS!

I mean actual cowboys, songs about cowboys, movies about cowboys, what it takes to be a cowboy. And toward the middle of the show, you get an extra treat. In a rare moment Some Guy in Austin starts SINGING.

If it wasn’t one of the best songs in the history of ever, I would have politely edited out. It turns out, when this song is performed BY ANYONE, I’m drawn in. Like young Lincee to Troy Aikman.

For those of you who don’t know, he’s a cowboy, too.   

EPISODE NOTES:

Here’s an example of someone who is trying really hard to be a cowboy.

Need some cowboy hat etiquette?

Now who is Tuff Hedeman again?

Did you know there’s a cowboy website that tells you the best John Waynes movies?

The best cowboy music video on MTV ever to grace my screen.

Top 20 songs about cowboys and cowgirls.

Well, it’s episode 74 and today we’re dissecting the Taylor Swift Reputation Concert Stadium Extravaganza!

I chat with my friends Susan and Lara, who also attended the show, and we discuss our favorite songs, our favorite moments, and how Lara wants to take back everything negative she said a year ago when we podcasted about Taylor’s new album.

Taylor, I know you’re listening. Lara asked me to apologize on her behalf.

I’m still on the fence about some of the songs and the snake motif, but I love you with my whole heart. Keep rockin’ that bodysuit girl!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today’s podcast is one of my favorites. I’m discussing upcoming fall movies with my friend Todd and there are A TON that make me smile and a few that make me scared. Sounds about right.

There’s a famous astronaut, a creepy snake guy (no, thank you), a film that is already getting all sorts of Oscar buzz, and a certain British nanny who is supercalifragilisticexpealidocious.

The fall 2018 movie lineup is looking G-O-O-D!

EPISODE NOTES:

Todd’s Movie Pics:

Bad Times at the El Royale

First Man

Bohemian Rhapsody

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Happy Thursday everyone!

So much is going on right now that I can barely focus. Grey’s Anatomy comes back tonight. Y-E-S. Taylor Swift concert this weekend. Y-E-S. And Michael Bublé just announced his new album twelve minutes ago.

BIG YES!

How do I know? Do I stalk him? The answer is “of course” followed by the question, “Why don’t you?”

To make matters worse, or concerning, depending on how you look at it, I was one who tuned in to Instagram Live to hear about the big announcement. Yes, I am his biggest fan. Moving on.

Today’s podcast is not about my favorite crooning singer, but the topic does hold a special place in my heart.

HARRY POTTER!

My friend Stephanie and I discuss the books, the movie, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. We also figure out who we would marry if given the chance. Spoiler, among many, I chose Cederic Diggory.

I think I could take Cho Chang if I had to.

EPISODE NOTES:

Would you like to read all seven of the Harry Potter books? Here you go!

Would you like to watch all the movies? Well, check cable first and if it’s not there, here you go!

Here’s a nice Harry Potter trivia challenge for you.

And a way to figure out which house you would have lived in if you had attended Hogwarts.

See! I told you quidditch is real!

Happy Bachelor in Paradise season finale everyone!

I wanted to thank y’all for tuning in during the Bachelor podcast episodes. This show is where everything started and I absolutely love talking about it with friends. But I do want to make sure you tune in for the rest of the year! I’ll host many different guests, discussing all sorts of pop culture topics NOT related to The Bachelor. We’ve got some great stuff planned for the fall. You’re going to love it!

Now, I’m sure you’ve heard that there were multiple breaking news items between the time Our Host Chris Harrison signed off during last night’s episode and the wee hours of this morning. We had an arrest, a pregnancy announcement, and a break-up!

Naturally all of these come with conspiracy theories, so Some Guy in Austin and I break each one down. And we throw in a little Outlander and Poldark to make things interesting. Because you can’t go wrong with Jamie Frasier or Ross Poldark. I don’t care what Some Guy says.

They are soooo pretty.

EPISODE NOTES:

Click HERE and HERE for my recaps on the finale, parts 1 and 2.

I’ve included links to all the breaking news, too. Here’s the arrest. Here’s the pregnancy. And here’s the break-up!

We go down a Florida Georgia Line tangent, thanks to this announcement in the country music category.

Did you hear Grocery Store Joe is going to be on Dancing with the Stars? And his partner is Jenna!
