Hello everyone!

It’s the most wonderful time of year, so Lara and I decided to take a creative approach on “the gift that keeps on giving.” In our case, this is the gift of our favorite mission organization Arise Africa and, of course, the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelse romance. All we want for Christmas is for some kids to get sponsored and for this love story to be played out for us to live vicariously through on social media!

Is that too much to ask, Santa? I think not!

Hello everyone!

Well we finally made it to the Golden Bachelor finale of GerryGary’s season, and Some Guy in Austin has thoughts and opinions about what went down in Costa Rica. We LOVE Gerry/Gary, but I will say, we fly way off-base a few times, covering all sorts of other important topics like my trip to Africa, Christmas, and the artist formerly known as Prince. But we tie it up with a nice bow at the end, celebrating our inaugural golden season. Would you expect anything less from us? I think not.

Hello everyone!

It's day four of our mission trip, and I had the privilege of sitting down with Angela and Lucy, who works at the MacDonald Brown School. This is where most of our days are spent helping build the library, among other things.

Angela and Lucy are amazing women. How do I know? Because they managed to get an entire school of Zambians to sing to Lara on her birthday. Was there a dry eye in the house? No there was not.

Never fear. I have the audio and you'll hear it for yourself. Prepare to feel all the feels!

Hello everyone!

Well, it’s day three of our mission trip, and guess what? I don't cry once in this episode. Did I cry during the day? Of course, I did. But there were no tears on the podcast. I consider that growth.

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Country Director Noah Lungu. He shares the mission and vision of Arise Africa, and sheds a little more light on the the resource center in Matero.

Fun fact: We also give Noah a new nickname, which is L-O-V-E-S! He didn't technically tell me that, but I could tell the name will live on long after I'm gone.

Hello everyone!

Well, it's day two of our mission trip. Do I cry in this episode? Technically, there were tears, but due to what I imagine is a bit of dehydration thanks to the Zambian heat, I didn't bawl like yesterday. You're welcome.

I sat down with Ryan and Krystal Scott to discuss their experience sponsoring a child through Arise Africa. Then their children August, Matilda, and Ruby joined the conversation, and things got really interesting. You're going to love this one!

Hello everyone!

We made it to Zambia and I am thrilled to share our first story from the field with Lara, Autumn, and Lauren! I sat down with these ladies to talk about their commitment to helping raise some of the kids in the Arise homes. I need you to know that I cry a few times in this episode, so get ready for that. And also, this audio comes straight from the field, so you’re going to hear weird things in the background. Just go with it!

Hello everyone!

All of you know that traditionally Women Tell All is my least favorite episode of the series, but in true Golden Bachelor form, GerryGary proves to be my favorite member of Bachelor Nation. He is wonderful. The women are the best. And Jesse Palmer and I celebrated and cried real tears with the entire cast.

We love you Roberta!

Hello everyone!

It’s hometown week. Some Guy in Austin and I have lots of thoughts and opinions about the children, the grandchildren, and which lady will be left standing, helping ease Gerry Gary’s pain that will inevitably occur after breaking someone’s heart. 

We also share stories about large dead animals and their proper disposal. 

Gotta love those tangents!

Hello everyone!

This week, I didn’t prepare an intro, because I don’t need one. All you have to know is that during this episode, I managed to record commentary with Some Guy in Austin and Mama. I just sat back and tried not to snort laugh. I was not successful.

Hello everyone!

We are getting down to the nitty-gritty with Gerry, and our golden bachelor is going to have to make some serious decisions in the upcoming weeks. However, he’s pretty cut and dry during episode four. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss the dangers of fake pickleball injuries and the ramifications of using scathing language when communicating with other women. 

According to Gerry’s actions, such nonsense will land you in the rejection SUV faster than you can say ZIP IT!
