IHGB #296 -- The Chosen with Lara and Todd

April 12, 2023 11:00 - 35 minutes - 5 MB

Hey everyone! Well, we are on the other side of holy week, and I thought it would be a great time to highlight one of my favorite TV series, The Chosen. Lara, Todd, and I discuss our favorite episodes, our thoughts on faith-based shows, and how a laughing, loving, intentional Jesus is both entertaining and impactful to watch.

IHGB #295 -- It's a Love Story: Grease 2 with Some Guy in Austin

April 07, 2023 17:16 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

Hello everyone! Today's podcast is another in my "It’s a Love Story” series, sponsored by my book of the same name, which celebrates four years of existence this month. What in the world? We've done 21 of these episodes, and traditionally, when we come up with a quintessential love story, something a little more mainstream than Grease 2 comes to mind. I imagine the majority of you haven't even seen Grease 2, let alone knew it existed. I'd like to take this time to plead my case. Just listen...

IHGB #294 -- Bachelor Zach Finale: Decisions Are the Worst

March 31, 2023 14:33 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MB

Hello everyone! We've made it through an entire season of ups and downs, and finally, we have the answer to who Zach chose at the end of his journey to find love. Some Guy in Austin and I break the finale down, discussing many important details, such as: Was Ariel's "After the Final Rose" dress inspired by Princess Leia or a Greek goddess? What did Gabi put in her hair to create such a slick ponytail? And was she going for the girls in Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video? Or was her ...

IHGB #293 -- Bachelor Zach Fantasy Suites: No Secrets

March 24, 2023 00:09 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Hello everyone, It’s the week you’ve been waiting for. Fantasy suites. Forgo cards. Horizontal tango. It doesn’t matter what you call it, what matter is what happens behind closed doors. Or what DOESN’T happen in Zach’s case. Or should I say, what doesn’t happen, what DOES happen, and then what MAY happen?  Hold on. That’s wrong. Let me try this again… What doesn’t happen, what did happen, and what happened when everyone heard it happened? Are you thoroughly confused? Never fear! Some G...

IHGB #292 -- Bachelor Zach Hometowns

March 17, 2023 05:07 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MB

Hello everyone, Well, Some Guy in Austin and I are ready to discuss hometown dates. In this episode, we unpack so many important questions, such as: Is Gabi’s family the nicest of them all?  Who is wearing sunglasses inside like Ariel’s mom right now? Line dancing - Yay or Nay? And what says, “I love you” like making someone assemble an IKEA bookcase? And who is excited about Charity being our next bachelorette? I know this is a podcast, but I need you to know I’m raising my hand. Like...

IHGB #291 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 7: Hungary Eyes

March 10, 2023 17:57 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MB

Hello everyone, I want you to get excited because Some Guy in Austin and I are really digging into episode seven of The Bachelor so you can properly prepare for next week’s hometown dates. In this episode, we tackle very important questions, such as: Is Budapest the perfect place to fall in love? Or is it the perfect place to dash dreams by allowing a mentalist to interfere in the love lives of our cast? Who put the FUN in funicular? Public bath houses: Incredible? Or incredibly gross? D...

IHGB #290 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 6: Witchy Woman

March 03, 2023 20:09 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

I’m about to say something you never thought you’d hear from me, Lincee Ray, who has been recapping this “darling” reality show for twenty years. Are you ready? The Bachelor made me wiser. I actually gained knowledge while watching on Monday night. Going into the debacle, I would not have been able to point to Estonia on a world map. Now, if one day I’m asked, I can report that it is a hop, skip, and jump over the Baltic Sea from Finland. This is big news, my friend. HUGE. Why? Because I a...

IHGB #289 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 5: London Boy

February 25, 2023 21:33 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

Hello, everyone! Well, last week, my grandmother passed away, and this week we had two funerals. It's been an emotional rollercoaster, but I was able to knock out a podcast. Once again, Some Guy in Austin and I are all over the place, since we essentially only have one date with which to dissect. Thank you, Covid, for continuing to ruin everything! With only one date, Some Guy and I are able to speculate to our hearts' content and wonder out loud about numerous important topics, such as: W...

IHGB #288 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 4: Bahama Mama

February 17, 2023 15:24 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MB

Hello, everyone! Well, I want to start off by explaining my absence from last week. Because of my new work schedule, I typically record my podcasts on Thursdays and hustle hard to edit and produce them the same day. On Friday, my sweet grandmother suddenly fell ill and then quickly passed away. It was a whirlwind of emotions, and I want to thank everyone who reached out wondering about my recaps and podcast. I just couldn't pull myself together with all the details that surround planning a f...

IHGB #287 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 2: Big "B" Energy

February 03, 2023 22:45 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MB

I don’t want to be a big fat bummer, but I have a complaint to start off the podcast.  First, something weird happened with our audio. About twenty minutes into the podcast, my program kicked me and Some Guy out. No big deal. We just started recording again.  Alas, I assume I was kicked out because something was wonky with the recording side of things because when I went to edit the show, my audio is off, and Some Guy was super loud. I tried to fix it the best I could. The good news is that...

IHGB #286 -- Bachelor Zach Episode 1: Vanilla Buttercream

January 27, 2023 18:02 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MB

Hello everyone! It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together to watch a very tall white man journey to find love. I will have you know that this season marks TWENTY YEARS since I’ve been recapping this darling little show, and I couldn’t be more excited about Zach and his ability to separate the wheat from the chaff in the timespan of an Avatar movie. Some Guy in Austin and I discuss Zach's roster of fine ladies and answer really important questions, such as: Does Ariel have legs? What...

IHGB #285 -- Let's Meet Bachelor Zach's Ladies with Some Guy in Austin

January 19, 2023 16:18 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

Hello everyone, Let me start by saying a heartfelt thank you for downloading or listening to this podcast. It truly feeds my soul to have so many friends of the show tuning in and visiting with me on social media. It means the world to me! I know I’ve been out several weeks, and hear me when I say that was an unintentional decision. Life got in the way, and what I mean by that is that grief got in the way.  Y’all know my dad passed away last January. We are coming up on one year, and I tho...

IHGB #284 -- Reba McEntire with Lara

November 24, 2022 10:45 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MB

Hello everyone! I went to see Reba McEntire with Lara, and it was exactly what we hoped it would be. The concert had EVERYTHING. Multiple costume changes, a fun-loving crowd, an execution of "Fancy" that still gives me chills, and an American Sign Language interpreter who I want to be my new best friend. Oh, you don't like Reba? Well, I still love you, even though I don't understand how greatness has escaped your musical repertoire. But for those of you who do stand in awe of Reba, this ...

IHGB #283 -- Taylor Swift Midnights with Lara

November 01, 2022 09:09 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MB

Hello everyone! Once upon a time, Lara and I reviewed Taylor Swift's Reputation album about six hours after listening through the tracks a few times. We concluded that we didn't like what we heard and worried about Taylor's well-being. As the days passed, so did our obsession with Reputation, and now it's one of our favorite Taylor Swift albums. With the recent release of Midnights, many of you have messaged me, asking if I am a fan or a foe. Since I didn't want to repeat my mistake with R...

IHGB #282 -- Now Playing: Volume 3 with Todd

October 21, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

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 Vampire Diaries for way too long. We make a great team. EPISODE NOTES: Todd's Pics Nine Perfect StrangersSeveranceObi-Wan KenobiOnly Murders in the BuildingNopeBeastDon't Worry Da...

IHGB #281 -- Universal Orlando with Stephanie

October 11, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

Get excited, Univeral lovers, because my friend Stephanie is here and she is an expert. Steph is fresh off of a conference at Universal Orlando, and she shares all the ins and outs of how to do this park right. Harry Potter World. Is it worth it? The answer is yes.Do you like roller coasters? Universal is your jam.Should you stay at one of the eight resorts on property? Absolutely. My biggest takeaway from this episode is that butter beer comes in way more varieties than hot and frozen. Who...

IHGB #280 -- Summer Concert Series with Lara

October 02, 2022 21:02 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

I'm here with Lara to discuss our AMAZING summer concert series with the incredible Thomas Rhett, Garth Brooks, and Michael Buble. I promise we love women artists, too, but this summer just happened to be an all-male showdown. And it was AWESOME! EPISODE NOTES: You MUST go to a concert at Red Rocks! See Thomas Rhett in concert. Listen to the Thomas Rhett playlist. See Garth Brooks in concert. Watch the Garth Brooks "The Road I'm On" documentary on Netflix. See Michael Bublé on tour....

IHGB #279 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Finale Part 2: End of the Road

September 22, 2022 19:59 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

We've reached the end of the road, dear reader. Rachel and Gabby's journeys have come to an end. As we celebrate two proposals, one breakup, one reunion, and the announcement of our new Melba Toast bachelor, I'm reminded of why we waste our time watching this show. When we can't root for love, we root for crazy. EPISODE NOTES: Here’s the recap for this week! Here is a link to the Google Doc with the dude’s Instagram feeds. And here’s the link to our official Bachelorette Bracket we pla...

IHGB #278 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Finale Part 1: Dumpster Fire

September 16, 2022 15:25 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MB

Hello everyone! The Urban Dictionary defines the phenomenon "dumpster fire" as the following: A random series of events that are hot messes, train wrecks, and colossal fails that are totally out of your control. In other words, Season 19 of The Bachelorette. EPISODE NOTES: Here's a direct link to Arise Africa's Venmo account! Learn more about them at their website! Here’s the recap for this week! HERE is a link to the Google Doc with the dude’s Instagram feeds. And here’s the link to...

IHGB #277: Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Fantasy Suites

September 09, 2022 22:22 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Hello everyone! One quick disclaimer before we get started. It’s the fantasy suites, people, and that means Some Guy in Austin and I are going to be talking about some very adult stuff. You might want to earmuff the little ones if you're listening to this in your car. We don't get weird or gross, but the phrase "yeast infection" does come up twice. So it's your call if you'd like to join us as we dissect how ABC has the uncanny ability to stretch two hours of solid entertainment into four ...

IHGB #276 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel: Men Tell All

September 01, 2022 20:39 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB

Hello everyone! Well, the Men Tell All episode is traditionally a big fat boring flop. But this year, ABC made it extra weird by interjecting a ton of product placement. Luckily, Some Guy in Austin is back to help me report on the major things you need to know. For example: Did the Sanderson Sisters curse Aven and Rachel's date in Salem?Is Roby more or less annoying as a platinum blonde?Is Logan a villain or just someone who is following his heart?Is Rambo still alive?And was that rhineston...

IHGB #275 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Hometowns: Land the Plane

August 29, 2022 00:16 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MB

Hello everyone! A thousand apologies for the delay of this podcast. Several barriers hindered me from recording on a regular schedule. My physical therapy was first to blame, but then silly mediations got in the way of Some Guy in Austin dissecting hometowns with me! My roommate Lara was gracious enough to step in last minute. She helps me sift through the boring dates (I'm looking at you, Jason, Johnny, and Zach) to get to the meat of the episode. We discuss Tyler's inability to read the r...

IHGB #274 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Episode 6: G'Day Nate

August 19, 2022 22:11 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

I want you to get excited because Some Guy in Austin and I answer all your questions this episode so you can properly prepare for next week's hometown dates. These include, but are not limited to the following: Is ABC setting up Nate, the Michael B Jordan of Bachelor Nation, to be our next lead? What is Rachel hiding in the ginormous sleeves of her red Lady Diana gown?Is Tino getting too big for his britches?And how did Logan contract COVID on the Valiant Lady? (Hint: The answer is leather-...

IHGB #273 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Episode 5: Logan Flips

August 09, 2022 15:14 - 36 minutes - 33 MB

Hello everyone, Are you shocked to hear my voice this early in the week? It’s weird. Some Guy in Austin and I are both out of town, so we recorded the show mere moments after it aired on Monday night. I’m here to tell you that our thoughts are fresh yet confused as ever. We answer burning questions in this episode. For example: How delicious is a Belgian waffle?Is Belgian chocolate better than other chocolate?Is Rachel’s spray tan skin tone the hue of a carrot or a tangerine?Were you exhaus...

IHGB #272 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Episode 4: La Vie en Rose

August 05, 2022 15:22 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

If you’ve been around here for a minute, you know that the iHateGreenBeans safe word is PINEAPPLE. I screamed it at my television when I wasn’t rolling my eyes at Rachel’s incessant crying. Why? Because there were no less than 539 close-ups, tight-angled shots of kissing, tongues, lips, and one very unfortunate “smell my armpit” moment. Some Guy in Austin and I try to sift through the nonsense to answer the questions you all are asking. For example: Should we start calling Jesse by the name ...

IHGB #271 -- Bachelor Gabby and Rachel Episode 3: The Power

July 28, 2022 15:27 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Well, it was an eye-opening show, that's for sure. I've never seen so many tears, snotty noses, and drunken hiccups this early in the season. The boys had the power. So our bachelorettes TOOK IT FROM THEM. And it backfired in their tight faces, leaving many unanswered questions. In this episode, Some Guy in Austin and I try to get answers to these questions. For example: Did no one consider what would happen if a dude rejected one of the bachelorette's roses?Is Jesse Palmer using the reject...

IHGB #270 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Episode 2: Something's Missing

July 22, 2022 20:26 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

Seriously, y’all, the franchise has gone off the rails. Don’t get me wrong — I am HERE for it. But the lack of structure makes my brain hurt. And I don’t watch The Bachelorette so my brain can hurt. I watch The Bachelorette so I can hide behind my couch cushion in horror while rolling my eyes in disgust.  To be clear, there was a lot of that going on last night. However, I found myself trying to objectively puzzle through some of the decisions Gabby and Rachel declared on their journey to fi...

IHGB #269 -- Bachelorette Gabby and Rachel Episode 1: No Clue

July 15, 2022 20:37 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

I can confidently presume that no one on the show, including Uncle Jesse and our lovely leading ladies, has any idea what's happening in this season of The Bachelorette. It's clear by the lack of detail, the confused facial expressions, and the glaring omission of rose ceremony roses that the entire production team threw all caution to the wind, confiscated a cruise ship, and decided right then and there to let the chips fall where they may.  In other words, there are no rules because the ru...

IHGB #268 -- IHGB Summer Book List with Paula

June 20, 2022 09:05 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Hello everyone! The eighth edition of the IHGB Summer Book List is ready and here for you! All you have to do is click HERE, and you'll be whisked away to titles upon titles categorized in specific genres. We've got Fiction, Non-Fiction, Memoirs, Romance, Thriller, Mystery, YA, Faith-Based, and even the Classics. And this year, I added a new category for those who like new releases. There's an entire list of notable books from 2022 so far! My friend Paula, an avid book lover, walks us thro...

IHGB #267 -- Let's Meet Gabby and Rachel's Guys

June 13, 2022 20:35 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MB

Hello everyone, Well, my surgeon got COVID, and my knee surgery was postponed for two weeks. I allowed myself to be irrationally irritated for 24-hours before embracing the silver lining. For example, Some Guy in Austin and I had the chance to podcast our thoughts and feelings concerning the young men who will be vying for the love of not one but two bachelorettes.  That’s right. Gabby and Rachel will be returning to your local ABC station on July 11. They are more than willing to help eac...

IHGB #266 -- Top Gun: Maverick Movie Review with Lara and Todd

June 02, 2022 19:27 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

One quick note before I start. I am having knee replacement surgery and will probably be posting podcasts sporadically during the month of June. It just depends on how my body responds to everything. I assume that I should be fine since I'm receiving a surgery reserved for someone in their golden, but those who have read my book understand that my body doesn't respond to things the way other bodies do. Thoughts and prayers to me, please, and thank you. In more exciting news, my friends Todd,...

IHGB #265 -- Road House: He Said / She Said with Some Guy in Austin

May 17, 2022 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MB

Hello everyone! When Some Guy in Austin came to me suggesting we podcast about one of his types of movies, my first reaction was to turn my nose up at the thought of watching something boring on the History Channel. But then he dropped the name "Patrick Swayze," and I was all ears. Road House is awful. But it's so good at the same time. Join us as Some Guy in Austin and I break down the fundamentals of bar fights, kickboxing, and the art of removing a bad guy's trachea from his throat. E...

IHGB 264 -- Remembering Naomi Judd with Some Guy in Austin

May 09, 2022 21:45 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MB

IHGB #263 -- It's a Love Story: Notting Hill with Lara

May 02, 2022 20:42 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

Hey everyone! Continuing with the celebration of romantic comedies and my book It’s a Love Story, I’ve asked Lara to come and talk about her favorite love story of all time: NOTTING HILL! Join us as we sift through the timeline, spinning back to 1999 when all we worried about was Y2K and if there would be enough batteries in the world to sustain banking software. It was a simpler age. One where a nerdy travel bookshop owner could turn the head of a famous actress with one cheeky British acce...

IHGB #263 -- Greatest Hits Albums Volume 2 with Some Guy in Austin

April 21, 2022 17:16 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MB

Y'all, I went back and forth if I should confess this or not, and I decided that the Internet is forever, and this information is totally Google-able. I thought this was the first time I have ever discussed greatest hits albums on my podcast. Something felt very déjà vu about the afternoon I recorded with Some Guy in Austin. But I kept blowing off the feeling that I had done this before. I assured myself that it was a blog post I had written a decade ago, when in fact, it was an early podca...

IHGB #261 -- It's a Love Story: My Best Friend's Wedding with Mama

April 16, 2022 15:56 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

This month, we are doing things a little differently with a love series (sponsored by my book: It’s a Love Story” soon to celebrate three years of existence next week – THAT IS CRAZY. In this episode, I discuss My Best Friend's Wedding with Mama.  Did you know that My Best Friend’s Wedding celebrates its 25th anniversary this summer? Can you believe it’s been that long since we felt horrible for sort of rooting for Jules wants to steal Michael back? (Sorry, Kimmy!)  My Best Friend’s Weddin...

IHGB #260 -- Thomas Rhett "Where We Started" Album with Lara

April 08, 2022 16:08 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MB

If you follow me on social media, you know that Lara and I dropped everything to attend a Thomas Rhett Where We Started album release party in Nashville this last weekend. As we said multiple times during the forty-eight-hour experience, "The Lord has found favor in this trip," and we share all the magical details in this episode. Check out "Where We Started," and thank us later! Also, check out my concert highlights on my Instagram account to witness the giddiness! EPISODE NOTES: If you'd...

Hello everyone! Lara and I are back for our Third Annual Slam Dunk podcast celebrating March Madness.

Even though our real brackets busted forever ago, you can take these slam dunks to the bank.

March 28, 2022 17:04 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

The 2022 Oscars will forever go down as the day Will Smith non-jokingly slapped Chris Rock in the face on national television. Also, some people won awards and stuff! Todd, Lara, Andrea, and I provide fresh, initial thoughts on our feelings on the smack, the winners, the losers, and the films we will definitely be watching as a result. EPISODE NOTES: The following are the 2022 Oscars Best Picture nominations and our opinions on if you should watch: "Belfast" -- No one watched, but Todd an...

IHGB #257 -- Bachelor Clayton Finale: I love you the MOST

March 18, 2022 16:47 - 32 minutes - 29.3 MB

Hello everyone! I'm feeling wishy-washy about this episode. Why? Because I haven't technically worked out my feelings. It's like that time Chandler said on Friends, "Can open. Worms EVERYWHERE!" Am I mad? Disappointed? Conflicted if Clayton is the worst bachelor in franchise history? Am I happy? Relieved it's over? Counting down the days until Serene's brother Roland is the next bachelor? I just don't know. What I do know is that ABC showrunners obviously listen to my podcast because I bel...

IHGB #256 -- Bachelor Clayton Fantasy Suites: Dingbat

March 11, 2022 17:54 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Y'all. What is happening on The Bachelor? How did we have so much drama packed into forty-five minutes? There's so much to unpack, and Some Guy in Austin and I make it our mission to figure out precisely what Clay-en is thinking. Was he going 3 for 3? Does he really love three women?Can we count on that volcano being dormant?Would Susie have walked away with the Future Mrs. Clayton Echard crown if things had gone differently?Did Gabby's grandfather provide foreshadowing last week when he cal...

IHGB #255 -- Bachelor Clayton Hometowns: Ordinary Folk

March 04, 2022 15:24 - 46 minutes - 42.5 MB

Well, it seems like just yesterday, Clay-en was the big, bumbling guy trying to capture Michelle’s attention by building forts for children out of hotel bed sheets.  Now he’s buying flowers, meeting parents, and attempting to judiciously answer the question, “Do you love my daughter?” It’s hometowns. That means scary siblings, difficult dads, and random wannabes who are either vying for screen time or slowly wishing The Bachelor camera crews would cease and desist capturing every moment of ...

IHGB # 254 -- Bachelor Clayton Episode 7: Psychoanalyzed

February 25, 2022 16:56 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

Hello everyone, Well, it was a big night, dear listeners, and with the help of a Freudian psychoanalyst, Clay-en has managed to narrow down his prospects to four women who appear to be here for the right reasons.  Some Guy in Austin and I break down each date, providing details on what we feel were moments of gold. Look no further than Chris de Burgh. Yes, the “Lady in Red” singer transports us back to 1986, which causes me to gasp in shock and awe as Some Guy proves he is a musical savant...

IHGB #253 -- Bachelor Clayton Episode 6: Villains Gotta Vil

February 18, 2022 17:19 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MB

Hello everyone, Some Guy in Austin and I are back with this week’s episode of the iHateGreenBeans podcast, and we discuss so many important things that helped us navigate through last week. Such as: Valentine’s candy. Are you a conversation heart person? Or would you prefer not to eat chalk?The Super Bowl halftime show. Great? Or old?Hot chicken on a cold salad. Yay or Nay?Backstreet Boys vs. NCYNC - we battle it out, againFamous clock towers - Where does Big Ben rate in your list? It’s a ...

IHGB #252 -- Bachelor Clayton Episode 5: Painting the Town Beige

February 11, 2022 17:42 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

Hello everyone! Well, I'm back. Sort of. The last few weeks have been extremely emotional with the passing of my father. I find myself laughing one second, crying another, and somehow hungry through it all. Grief is weird. But when you have a built-in community of people who care about you, it makes the pain much more managable. I do have a community of strength around me. And that includes anyone who may be reading this sentence right now. In my first book, I wrote about how my website a...

IHGB #251 -- Now Playing: Volume 2 with Todd and Lara

January 21, 2022 10:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MB

Can you believe the last time we discussed music and movies on this podcast was SEPTEMBER? What in the world? That explains why Todd's list of binge-worthy shows and films is as long as my arm. The good news is that I recruited Lara to join us to help Todd sift through the dark and twisty shows since I don't enjoy watching people get killed for no reason.
