I Hate Green Beans with Lincee Ray

Happy 4th of July everyone!

It’s week 6 and Becca’s journey to find love has hit a few rough spots. HOWEVER, she takes care of both of them by the end because she’s ready for “Let’s do the damn thing”to be in the past tense.

Some Guy in Austin and I talk Edgar Alan Poe, the correct size of a pocket square, and when it’s appropriate to call a woman “hot.”

Also, we both say the phrase “blah, blah, blah” for some reason and I snort laugh the entire last minute of the show. Sorry!

Finally Some Guy asks me which bachelorettes are still in successful relationships and guess what? I FORGOT ONE! See if you can figure out who I forgot. And then hit me up on social media. 

I can’t believe I forgot someone. That’s so weird. It’s the first mistake I ever made.

EPISODE NOTES:

Here’s everything you need to know about the “Virginia is for Lovers” campaign.

Here’s everything you need to know about pocket squares.

Here’s everything you need to know about making a plan to kiss someone in a coffin.

Here’s everything you need to know about bungee jumping!

Hey! Before you click that button down there to listen to the Bachelorette Becca recap, make sure to check out my summer book post!  I need your favorite books in the comment section because I’m compiling a list and I’m going to get it to you for free! I’ve done this four times and trust y’all COMPLETELY.  Do you know who I was introduced to from this list?

Jamie Fraser.

And Katniss Everdeen.

I’m not above the YA novels. Send them my way.

Okay, let’s talk Vegas since it’s the perfect place to fall in love. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss Wayne Newton. Or the wax figure known as Wayne Newton in great detail. We dissect Chris’ deep dive into his Crazy Eddie character and power through the two-on-one date. We also talk BIP season 5 cast. Who are we most excited about?

GROCERY STORE JOE!

Fingers crossed he’s not a complete chach!

EPISODE NOTES:

Some Guy tells a Lady GaGa joke. Which leads me to Lady GaGa in A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper.

Do you need a list of Vegas-themed movies? Here you go!

“Who is Wayne Newton” was a top search on Google Monday night. This is how most of you know him…

We also talk about the woven belt craze of the 90s.

Some Guy also compared his high school self to Ren McCormack. I’m still in shock.

The Bachelor in Paradise cast for season 5 has been announced!

This episode was PACKED. Some Guy in Austin and I waste no time discussing all sorts of things like the Brawny man, fried foods, Lincoln’s lack of coordination, and Ashley I-Lashes engagement! Check out the show notes below!

SIMPLE DISCLAIMER

The following information you are about to hear is of personal opinion. However, if you or someone you Snap happen to personally know, sort of know, is friends with the Starbucks barista who’s obsessed with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and looks exactly like one of the contestants on the show…none of this is personal and I’m sure they are all lovely people.

EPISODE NOTES:

Granger Smith is the next up and coming country music artist and he is DARLING.

Chris Gaines is the opposite of darling.

In case you are wondering (like we are) what He Who Must Not Be Named is up to, the answer is not much.

You know, I met him one time. We talk about that, too.

There’s a decent amount of conversation dedicated to the proper way to swing an axe. Again, I give you the wonder that is Josh Duhamel.

We have a healthy debate about Elvis, which leads to the story described in this picture:

Well it’s week 3 and Becca’s journey to find love has hit a bit of a rough patch. First, Colton and Tia are miraculously in the same room. (How did that happen?) Plus we have not one but TWO ambulances in a single episode.

But there are silver linings:

Richard Marx is back with an old favorite and a new face. And Our Host looks dapper delivering bad news in a fabulous navy shirt.

Hey Harrison, wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.

You can count on it.

EPISODE NOTES:

Some Guy in Austin and I talk about foot baths in this episode. Most of the time these are only available during the holiday months, but you can get one on Amazon if you feel like it’s something you need in your life!

Harrison had some amazing tweets during the summit session. If you don’t follow him, you should. Or at least take a peek on Monday nights!

We also discuss the woes of the top bunk.

Richard Marx is ah-mazing! If you don’t know his work, may I suggest downloading THIS ONE and THIS ONE and THIS ONE.

Before you listen to the show, I wanted to give you a head’s up on a few things:

This episode is all over the map. Some Guy in Austin and I were both traveling, which is an entire ordeal by itself. We had to watch the show LIVE, heaven forbid. But this week is also the perfect storm for me. My second book is due, my roommate Lara and I are packing up to move across the neighborhood, there’s a devil bird that won’t stop chirping out my window, and I had this weird throat thing when I recorded the intro.

I also call Becca by the name of Desire and Elroy by the name of Elmo.

You know, from The Jetsons? How else am I supposed to describe Becca’s tin foil diaper she wore on the dodge ball date?

EPISODE NOTES:

I think I called Becca, Desire, because I saw her on the horrific Ocean’s 8 dramatization/commercial/ad. It featured bachelorettes from days of yore. I was able to track it down for you on Kaitlyn’s Twitter feed. Watch at your own risk.

Speaking of Ocean’s 8, I’ll be watching this weekend and reviewing it for the website. I can’t wait!

Some Guy forgot about Desire’s “Right Reasons” Bachelorette video with Soulja-Boy. I have no clue how that happened because A.) He remembers everything and B.) It’s unforgettable in every way.

And we discuss Taylor Swift’s bathing suits. Because why not.

Season 14 of The Bachelorette officially premiered and there’s already a ton of drama surrounding some of the contestants. Most notably, front-runner Garrett.

Some Guy in Austin and I recorded this episode before we heard about his social media history. Our favorable comments are a direct result of what we saw the night of the show.

It’s clear that this is probably going to be the most dramatic season in franchise history. And I just hate that for Becca.

EPISODE NOTES:

David plucked his “BECAW” chicken call straight from Pitch Perfect. Some Guy had no idea what I was talking about.

Even though Kamil’s “come here” was obnoxious, Wade Kinsella knows how to deliver that particular phrase with style (1:56 mark). Once again, Some Guy had no idea what I was talking about.

I mention that I should research Leo’s IMDB page. Here’s a link so you don’t have to punch that into Google!

Some Guy was also nice enough to send me the link of the season 14 contestants shirtless. There are some SURPRISES in this link!

I’m thrilled to bring you the episode you’ve been waiting on for months now…Bachelorette Becca has a list of suitors!

When we last saw Bachelorette Becca, she was nursing some pretty serious wounds after her appearance on After the Final Rose. Arie proposed. Then he took it back with a harsh PSYCHE! So the producers over at ABC said, “Let’s make this girl the next bachelorette and get her hitched!”

ABC rounded up some models, professional athletes, and a chicken to help Becca on her journey to find love. But before we start, I need to mention something…

EPISODE NOTES:

I wrote a longer piece about each guy if you’d like a break-down of all Becca’s men!

If you’d like a visual reference of the men we discuss today, here is the roster on the ABC website.

We discuss Blake’s apple.

Sports Illustrated, yes THE Sports Illustrated, discusses one of Becca’s guys who is an NFL player. A real player!

Tell me Leo doesn’t look like Aquaman.

When Some Guy and I talk about Burt from Mary Poppins and his one man band, this is what we envision for Ryan…

We are just days away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding any my roommate Lara and I couldn’t be more excited. And it’s not just because we watched the Lifetime Original biopic full of interesting and accurate facts about the happy couple.

It was sooooo horrible in suuuuuch a good way.

No, I am excited to get up early, drink tea and eat crumpets while wearing a fascinator on my head, knowing that one day, a commoner like me could marry into royalty too. Would I have to wear panty hose for the rest of my life? Probably. But I’d have a sweet carriage and stylish coats.

I’d be willing to make that compromise.

EPISODE NOTES:

Here’s a USA Today article that provides all the ways you can watch the royal wedding on Saturday.

Need a fascinator? Amazon has a ton.

You know you want to watch the Lifetime biopic Harry and Meghan: A Royal Romance.

Lara and I talk about the infamous balcony kiss. Well, it’s going to be a little different this time.

Harry and Meghan’s bridal party has been announced! And they are all tiny people!

Here’s what The Telegraph knows so far about the wedding dress.

Here are all the royal wedding party food ideas you need for the big day!

Well, it’s finally happened. It took almost a year, but I finally got Mama to sit down for a chat.

The purpose was to answer some of the listeners or readers’ questions. The result was a long, oh so long interview because the woman could have a sparkling conversation with a brick wall and have a ball doing it.

Things to note:

Mama talks with her hands, so you’ll hear hear accidentally hitting the microphone every once in a while.

You’ll hear Daddy watching TV in the background if you listen hard enough.

You’ll hear birds outisde the window occasionally.

And you’ll learn a lot about the woman who taught me everything I know.

Of course I’ve taught her a few things too — like a love of Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake.

You’re welcome, Mama.
