IHGB #346 -- Ferris Bueller's Day Off with Some Guy in Austin
June 20, 2024 22:01 - 29 minutes - 40.7 MBHello, everyone! This week, Some Guy in Austin is back, and we travel back to 1986 to discuss one of our favorite movies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's one of THE BEST! Just listen to this synopsis: "Ferris Bueller has an uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, 'borrows' a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney,...
IHGB Podcast #345: Swedish Swifties
June 01, 2024 19:22 - 47 minutes - 65.4 MBHello 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 #344 -- It's a Love Story: Ever After with Mama and Aunt Shelia
May 17, 2024 10:13 - 24 minutes - 33.4 MBHello 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 w...
IHGB #343 -- Now Playing: Volume 4 with Todd
May 09, 2024 11:53 - 37 minutes - 52.1 MBIt'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. EPISODE NOTES: The Regime on (HBO) MAX Silo on Apple TV Pretty Little Liars on Hulu/Disney Plus Palm Royale on Apple T...
IHGB #342 -- The Tortured Poets Department Review with Lara
April 22, 2024 19:39 - 36 minutes - 50.7 MBHello, 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. SHOW NOTES: EPISODE NOTES: M...
IHGB #341 -- What Should I Read Next with Paula and Ranelle
April 15, 2024 14:16 - 36 minutes - 49.7 MBHello, 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 t...
IHGB #340 -- Total Eclipse of the Heart with Lara
April 06, 2024 15:48 - 36 minutes - 50.8 MBI'm sure you have heard that an upcoming total eclipse will wrap Texas in darkness for several minutes. It's very exciting! In the spirit of the event, Lara and I gathered together to visit about the things that are giving us light, the things that are dark, and a few things in that weird moment between where we don't know where they land yet. Are you thoroughly confused? Don't worry. It will all make sense. Just keep listening! EPISODE NOTES: LIGHT SIDE OF THE ECLIPSE Disney Plus (AKA: ...
IHGB #339 -- Bachelor Joey Finale: Daisy Me Rollin'
March 28, 2024 22:22 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MBY'all, the showrunners got me. I'll hand it to ABC, the sneaky little buggers, and admit that they tricked me into looking at Joey's Home Depot proposal pedestal for all the drama when I should have been looking at the white Chevy Tahoe! Daisy and Kelsey in the same vehicle? WHAT IS HAPPENING!? Some Guy in Austin and I break down the finale for you and discuss all the important things, such as: Are Joey and Kelsey really into each other or are they faking it for the cameras? Will the golde...
IHGB #338 -- Bachelor Joey: The Women Tell All
March 21, 2024 23:05 - 34 minutes - 47.7 MBHello, everyone! Can you believe we have finally reached Joey's Women Tell All episode? I'll tell you, Some Guy in Austin and I couldn't care less what all the women said, but we did care about how Joey narrowed his roster down to two women. Let me tell you, dear listener, we have some thoughts. Such as: Was that the sweetest little breakup you ever did see? Should "We Need To Talk" be the name of Kelsey's podcast after this thing goes south? Should Some Guy in Austin treat the upcoming s...
IHGB #337 -- Bachelor Joey Fantasy Suites: We've Got To Talk
March 14, 2024 22:49 - 27 minutes - 38.1 MBHello everyone! Don’t you just love those Golden Bachelor ladies? What a treat to have them fly all the way to Mexico to sit down and give (two of) our girls a pep talk about life, love, and other mysteries. I’m sure Susan, Sandra, and (not) Leslie thought long and hard about this delicate situation and how their words of wisdom would impact the young women sitting before them. Susan to Rachel: “Have no fear!”Sandra to Daisy: “Tell him what you’re feeling!”Leslie to Kelsey: “Don’t get excit...
IHGB #336 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episode 7: Oh Canada
March 01, 2024 10:43 - 37 minutes - 52.1 MBHello, everyone! I can't believe we are one week away from hometowns. Joey has the most eclectic group of women heading into next week, right? Some Guy in Austin and I sifted through the details of episode seven to try and figure out what was going to happen in the coming weeks. Be warned that we wander from the topic of conversation a few times, and that leads to me giggling uncontrollably. Is Some Guy in Austin that funny? Or was I so tired from insomnia from the night before? Listen to ...
IHGB #335 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episode 6: Je M’appelle Claude
February 23, 2024 15:45 - 33 minutes - 46.7 MBHello, everyone! Je m’appelle Claude and I have officially reached the nervous status of our boy Joey. Has the Bachelor ever cried this early in a season because of all the feels he’s feeling? I know I’m the one who has been recapping this show for twenty-plus seasons, but I think that the forlorn pending angst typically hits our lead right around hometowns. This is TOO EARLY! Poor Joey has to take a beat. He’s forced to sit down on a bench in the middle of a gorgeous park somewhere in Cana...
IHGB #334 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episodes 4-5: Sausage Flying At My Face
February 16, 2024 16:16 - 40 minutes - 55.1 MBHello, everyone! Well, after two nights and four hours of Bachelor Joey, I’ve finally figured out that our boy loves all women and would gladly marry anyone. In this episode, Some Guy in Austin and I try to figure out how we can help Joey navigate this journey. Should extra points be given to: Women who can paint somewhat concentric circles Women who paint their bodies and roll around on a canvas Women who get zits from the stress of a two-on-one date Women who aren’t afraid of sausages ...
IHGB #333 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episode 3: Lexi's Got Talent
February 09, 2024 00:49 - 48 minutes - 67.2 MBHello everyone! It’s episode 3 of The Bachelor, and Joey is already having to navigate a mean girl situation. The bad news is that the villain is extra spicy and a whole lotta clueless. The good news is that Maria was able to shut the nonsense down with one sentence. Some Guy in Austin and I marvel at Maria’s line and discuss several other important matters, such as: Can the art of kissing be considered a talent? What are the odds those women ate the KFC at the pool party? How mad was J...
IHGB #332 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episode 2: It's Not Red Velvet
February 02, 2024 11:23 - 43 minutes - 59.4 MBHello, everyone! It's a great time to be covering The Bachelor! I've had so many listeners, readers, and friends approach me about Joey and how they are fully on board with his season! And I couldn't be more delighted. Some Guy in Austin and I break the second episode down with lots of laughs and lots of questions. For example: Is the official wardrobe of the season distressed mom jeans and neutral tops? Did Evalin suffer a concussion when she landed on her face after jumping over that t...
IHGB #331 -- Bachelor Joey Recap Episode 1: I Love That
January 24, 2024 09:00 - 44 minutes - 60.7 MBHello everyone! Can you believe that we are kicking off Season 28 of The Bachelor? Gone are the days of twenty women nervously exiting a limo and giggling at their chance to find love with a stranger. Nowadays, there are so many cringy icebreakers that we have to edit it down from thirty to the top fifteen most embarrassing mishaps. Some Guy in Austin and I discussed how many times I hid behind my couch cushion, and let me tell you, dear listener, it was a lot. There were balls, and banan...
IHGB #330 -- The Crown and The Lost Kitchen with Lara
January 20, 2024 22:03 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MBHello everyone! I’m so happy to have my roommate Lara with me this episode to discuss the two shows we recently binged upon our return from Zambia. It was one of those situations where the show would end, we’d look at each other, and both agreed, without using words, that we were invested enough to move along to the next episode, even though it was way past our bedtime. Let me tell you: The Crown and The Lost Kitchen are worth your time. We are committed individuals, dear listeners, and it...
IHGB #329 -- Let's Meet Bachelor Joey's Ladies
January 12, 2024 21:10 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBHello everyone! Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of 2024, which should technically be the second podcast of 2024, because your girl forgot to hit record a week ago when Some Guy in Austin and I sat down to discuss Gerry Gary’s wedding. Never fear. We shallow dive into the golden nuptials for a few minutes before we get into the ins and outs of Bachelor Joey’s cast of characters! That’s right. The new season starts on January 22, so mark your calendars. We’ve got all sorts of ...
IHGB #328 -- Hallmark Christmas Movie Review: A Biltmore Christmas with Stephanie
December 15, 2023 22:16 - 35 minutes - 49 MBHello everyone! Well, it’s the most wonderful time of year, which means I finally have the podcast you’ve all been waiting for…our Hallmark Christmas Movie special with Stephanie! But we did things a little differently this year. Since Steph and I were both in Zambia, we decided to showcase one movie and then blind rate all the others. And let me tell you, we chose WISELY! A Biltmore Christmas is fantastic. A magical hourglass that sends you to 1947 to meet a charming actor? Yes, please! ...
IHGB #327 -- The Gift That Keeps On Giving with Lara
December 08, 2023 20:19 - 37 minutes - 51.3 MBHello 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! EPISODE NOTES: Read...
IHGB #326 -- Golden Bachelor Finale: Gerry Finds Love
December 02, 2023 13:10 - 31 minutes - 43.7 MBHello 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 ...
IHGB #325 -- Arise Africa Mission Trip: Happy Birthday Pringle
November 22, 2023 14:45 - 15 minutes - 21.5 MBHello 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 yoursel...
IHGB #324 -- Arise Africa Mission Trip: The First Noah-El
November 21, 2023 20:22 - 13 minutes - 18.6 MBHello 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...
IHGB #323 -- Arise Africa Mission Trip: Great Scotts!
November 20, 2023 21:16 - 20 minutes - 27.6 MBHello 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! EPISODE NOTE...
IHGB #322 -- Arise Africa Mission Trip: Friends and Family
November 19, 2023 19:47 - 12 minutes - 17.8 MBHello everyone! We made it to Zambia and I am thrilled to share our first story from the field with Lara, Autumn, and Lauren!

And also, this audio comes straight from the field, so you’re going to hear weird things in the background. Just go with it! EPISODE NOTES: Click HERE to learn more about s...
IHGB #321 -- Golden Bachelor Recap Episode 7: Women Tell All
November 14, 2023 15:58 - 23 minutes - 32.4 MBHello 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!

November 08, 2023 10:05 - 28 minutes - 39.5 MBHello 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! EPISODE NOTES: Click HERE to check out my handy roster cheat sheet!

October 30, 2023 16:28 - 31 minutes - 43.8 MBHello 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.

October 25, 2023 14:32 - 33 minutes - 46.1 MBHello 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! EPISO...
IHGB #317 -- Golden Bachelor Recap Episode 3: Chatty Kathy
October 16, 2023 21:50 - 23 minutes - 32.6 MBI’ve uttered this sentence approximately seventeen times since The Golden Bachelor‘s debut: “I love Jerry/Gerry with my whole heart.” He is extremely kind, highly articulate, and overwhelmingly intentional with the women with which he’s been paired. The tears! The compassion! Poor Gerry is going to have to pop and extra Xanax the day he has to send the runner-up home. I hope ABC retains a Psychotherapist, because Gerry is going to need one. The pain he causes another person just might do him ...
IHGB #316 -- Golden Bachelor Recap Episode 2: Don't Stop Believing
October 06, 2023 20:27 - 27 minutes - 38.2 MBHello, everyone! It's week two, and my love for Gerry is still strong. My roommate Lara joins me today to share Gerry's first week dating twenty-two women, and we do have a count of how many times he cried. Note for the audio, I cried more than anyone in the room, and I'm not feeling weird about it at all. Lara and I break down the details of the dates, including: Did anyone think through making Gerry drive at nighttime on a busy California highway? Kudos to Susan for having the forethoug...

September 14, 2023 15:05 - 53.1 MBHello everyone! This podcast is a direct result of audience participation. I’m telling you, I have received more requests to record an episode on Golden Bachelor Gerry’s cast of suitors than any other season in recent memory. Bachelor Nation is INTRIGUED.

Who has a discreetly hidden tattoo? ...
IHGB #313 -- Summer Concert Series with Lara
September 08, 2023 14:55 - 46.7 MBAlthough it still feels like the peak of summer here in Houston, the calendar does tell me that it is indeed September, which means it's time for a summer concert review. Lara and I take a walk down Memory Lane as we share details from the live music events we attended in 2023. To no one's surprise, this list includes Taylor Swift and Thomas Rhett. But this time, we have actual interaction with one of our beloved musical artists! Did we sneak onto Taylor's tour bus? Did Thomas Rhett invite ...

IHGB #311 -- Bachelorette Charity Finale: Psyche!
August 23, 2023 16:08 - 41.3 MBABC did its best to trick us during Charity's final moments on her journey to find love, and let me tell you, dear reader, IT WORKED. I had all but monogrammed Joey's initials on a towel and sent my practical engagement gift in the mail postmarked "Charity's House | Georgia" when his bright blueberry suit pant leg unfolded itself out of the limo. Some Guy in Austin and I share all the essential details of Bachelorette Charity's finale. We cover the important topics, such as: Did Joey hire a...
IHGB #310 -- Bachelorette Charity Men Tell All
August 20, 2023 21:04 - 50.8 MBI need everyone to throw up some praise hands because it's a complete miracle that this podcast is out. Why? Well, first of all, it's been a week. Lots of ups and downs and twists and turns. Yet here I am, on a Sunday afternoon, editing and posting the podcast. That's victory number one. Victory number two is getting Some Guy in Austin to sit down for two hours in order to watch Men Tell All, let alone give me another hour to try and figure out something to talk about. Let me tell you, he d...
IHGB #309 -- Bachelorette Charity Fantasy Suites: Forgo, Forgo, Forgone
August 11, 2023 15:52 - 42.4 MBHello everyone! We've reached fantasy suite week, and lo and behold, our girl Charity decides to do some forgoing. Some Guy in Austin and I break down everything you need to know, including: Did Xavier self-sabotage his date? Or is he a moron? Is this Joey's journey to lose? If given the option, would Fiji water be your choice as the best of all bottled waters? Can Dotun be any cuter, and how badly will his heart be broken at the end of this? Is Charity a real-life Barbie doll? What w...
IHGB #308 -- Bachelorette Charity Hometowns: Home Sweet Home
August 04, 2023 17:17 - 55.8 MBHello everyone! How is it already time for hometowns? I feel like Charity’s romantic journey to find love has been more of a brisk powerwalk around the block to see who is available, am I right? How is she supposed to figure out if she likes someone if she’s only known them for three to four weeks versus the traditional seven to eight weeks? Something tells me the Paradise schedule is to blame for this unfortunate circumstance. Or maybe it’s our golden bachelor Gerry? Perhaps ABC feels the ...

IHGB #306 -- Bachelorette Charity Episode 4: Jump For My Love
July 20, 2023 22:51 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBHello everyone! You should know that I thought this episode was slightly dull. I will say that the podcast is anything but. Some Guy in Austin and I tend to go off-roading with our thoughts when the storylines are a little too predictable, and today's recording showcases how we are masters of tangents. While discussing Brayden's Zero Dark Thirty scarf and Dotun's likeability, we also deep dive into important topics, such as: Did anyone glisten in the sunlight like the Cullens? Would you ...
IHGB #305 -- Bachelorette Charity Episode 3: Barbie Girl
July 16, 2023 03:53 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBHello everyone! Well, it's a little early in the season, but in this week's Bachelorette episode, the old geezers who hover near or around the age of thirty start complaining about how the young bucks on the roster are not here for the right reasons. Some Guy in Austin and I try to break down what ticked these guys off and have come up with a few ideas: The Wrestler tried to start a countrified version of "The Wheels on the Bus" when they all had to board a Greyhound to get to their next ex...
#IHGB #304 -- Bachelorette Charity Episode 2: Four Minutes in Heaven
July 07, 2023 13:43 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBHello everyone! Well, Charity is in her second week of trying to find love and Some Guy in Austin and I are slightly worried this may not work out for our bachelorette. In this episode, we discuss our deepest concerns, such as: Is Aaron's two-sided coin the most exciting thing about him? Are Brayden's earrings cuter than mine? Why does ABC continue to make its bachelor contestants wear man panties? Does Gabby have a new face, and will she be featuring it in Paradise? Jesse Palmer's grey...

IHGB #301 -- The Little Mermaid Movie Review with Stephanie
June 13, 2023 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBHello everyone! Well, it happened. I drove to the movie theater to experience one of the big blockbuster hits of the summer, and it technically did not disappoint! The Little Mermaid was everything I wanted it to be and about 27 minutes more than I wanted it to be. Never fear, people. The underwater scenes were not distracting, and real-life Prince Eric is as handsome as he was in the cartoon. That sentence is not weird. EPISODE NOTES: The Little Mermaid Trailer The Little Mermaid So...
IHGB #300 -- Celebrating 300 Episodes with Lara
May 29, 2023 20:10 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBWell, here we are, celebrating three hundred episodes of the IHGB podcast. A lot of hard work got me here, along with all the TV recapping and movie watching, but I couldn’t have done it without the following: Thank you, Bachelor franchise, for five seasons of wack-a-do nonsense. Here's a hearty salute to Matt, Katie, Michelle, Gabby and Rachel, and vanilla Zach who all proved that we still watch this show for the drama and not the romance. A big shout out to Taylor Swift for making five al...
IHGB #299 -- Summer Blockbuster Preview with Todd
May 12, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 36.6 MBHello everyone! Todd and I have big thoughts about upcoming blockbusters, and we discuss in length what makes us nervous about some of our choices to watch this summer. For example: Is Harrison Ford too old to continue playing Indiana Jones? Can I let go of the fact that I can't stand underwater movies and just accept that Ariel is a mermaid, and that is where her story takes place? Will I be confused while watching Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3? How many more Mission Impossibles wi...
IHGB #298 -- Taylor Swift's Eras Tour with Lara
May 03, 2023 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBLara and I went to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. We have lots of thoughts. About everything, including: Choosing our outfits, stadium logistics, and general schedule. How Taylor Swift performs full-out for more than three hours. Which eras were above others? (read: they were all good). What songs changed our lives, hearing sixty-thousand people sing? It was epic. She made the whole place shimmer! EPISODE NOTES: If you would like to sneak peek at the Taylor Swift Eras Tour setlist, click...
