iHateGreenBeans | Blog of Lincee RayIHGB #399: Netflix Christmas Movie Reviews with Stephanie
Hello, everyone!
It’s that time of year when Stephanie and I get together to discuss our favorite Christmas movies! But this year, we are focusing on Netflix films rather than Hallmark.
But never fear. We do have our Hallmark Christmas movie watch list ready to share with you, based solely on artwork, titles, and a brief blurb. Spoiler alert: We will both be tuning in to watch Oy to the World. With a name like that, we HAVE to see what happens!

Hello, everyone!
I took a little break for Thanksgiving and, during that time, I went to see the musical Wicked: For Good with my friends Lara and Stephanie. In this episode, Lara and I break down our feelings and try to decipher how we REALLY liked this movie versus the feeling that it wasn’t as good as the first. It’s hard to explain, but we do our best!
Wicked: For Good will do that to you, my friends. It’s light and fluffy compared to dark and brooding. It’s pink against green, yet at the...

Hello, everyone!
We’ve reached the dramatic conclusion of Mel’s journey to find love, and in the end, one woman was left standing. Because the other woman self-eliminated. It happens.
Some Guy in Austin and I discuss the reasoning behind this woman’s departure, and debate if Mel would have chosen her if she had just “finished the game” and accompanied him to the fantasy suite. We also take a deep dive into Mel’s fears which include: dune buggies, stingrays, non-Hoka shoes, emotional conversations, and sentences that involve more than five words.
Notice I d...

Hello, everyone!
We all know Women Tell All is the worst. Luckily, you have me and Some Guy in Austin to entertain you for roughly half an hour as we discuss Debbie’s audition to become the next Golden Bachelorette and Nicholle’s blatant damage control, which should be a master class in PR.
Did the sensible pink blazer win her audience points? Listen and find out!

2025-11-0229 miniHateGreenBeans | Blog of Lincee RayIHGB #395: Golden Bachelor Mel Recap: Hometowns
Hello, everyone!
Well, it’s hometown dates, and our Golden Bachelor, Mel, is happy to answer any questions with one-word answers. In the spirit of fairness, he’s unwilling to tell family members that he sees a future with anyone at the moment, deeming his situation unique and complicated.
Some Guy in Austin and I discuss how Debbie’s family is totally fine with this, as long as Mel comes back and plays football with them in the backyard. Peggy and Cindy’s daughters are a little more guarded.
In the end, Mel chooses...

Some Guy in Austin and I have so much to discuss, and most of it revolves around Nicholle and if she is THE WORST. Spoiler alert: I think she might be.

2025-10-1334 miniHateGreenBeans | Blog of Lincee RayIHGB #393: Golden Bachelor Mel Recap: Who Wears Short Shorts?
Hello, everyone!
Some Guy in Austin is back this week, and we discuss all things Golden Bachelor! We have tons of questions to answer, such as:
Why does The Bachelor continue to try to make roasting happen? IT IS THE WORST.
Is Debbie the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, and will her heart be inevitably broken on national TV?
And when considering skirt lengths, how short is too short for a sixty-plus-year-old woman?
No one wants to see your upper thigh, Nicholle. Correction, no one besides Mel wants to see your upper thigh, Nicholle. ...
2025-10-0634 miniHateGreenBeans | Blog of Lincee RayIHGB #392: Golden Bachelor Mel Recap: Elephant in the Room
Hello, everyone!
We are back with Golden Bachelor Mel and his journey to find a woman who doesn’t care about what he said months ago about wanting to find a match who is fifteen years younger than he is, with no artificial joints. Isn’t this fun?
ABC wasted no time finding delightful women with very forgiving hearts. They think Mel is a catch, and they will stop at nothing to prove to him that women in their golden years are full of life! Full of energy! And, if your name is Nicholle, full of c...

Hello, everyone!
If you are a reader, this is the episode for you! I am with my book-loving friend Paula, who shared her book recommendations with us last year! She’s thankfully agreed to indulge me with a podcast, and from my research, her 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. Paula is a pro, and she didn’t really need to know that I’m currently reading the Throne of Glass series. For the thir...

Hello, everyone!
Well, COVID is still hanging on tight to my lungs, which is super fun. Not only am I a walking zombie, but I just learned some disturbing news that I share with Some Guy in Austin! Thoughts and prayers to me, and to Dale and Kat for not pulling off a win.
But don’t worry, Kale. There are no losers on this podcast. Here, we are all winners. Unless you come at me with some nasty green beans, then it’s over.
