IHGB #209 -- Disney During COVID with Stephanie Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

Get excited, Disney lovers, because my friend Stephanie is here and she is an expert. Steph is fresh off of a family vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida, and she shares all the ins and outs of how to do a Disney vacation during the time of COVID.

Mask wearing in Florida heat: Is it miserable?
How are you supposed to social distance while standing in a line for Space Mountain?
You can’t meet Cinderella, but you can see her from a distance. Is the experience still magical?
When will fireworks come back?

My biggest takeaway from this episode is that the Moroccan pavilion in EPCOT has the best sangria on property. Who knew?

Stephanie. She knew. She knows everything.

IHGB #208 -- The Big Dance with Lara Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

I’m pretty excited about this episode because it’s all about The Big Dance. Am I talking about March Madness? The NCAA Basketball tournament?

Well, no, but my roommate Lara and I are discussing how dance has been woven through the tapestry of our lives.

Is Centerstage one of the top dance movies of all time?

Is Centerstage one of the best dance movies of all time? (hint: yes)
If you had to choose between So You Think You Can Dance or Dancing with the Stars, could you do it?
And if you had to choose one dance song that would be your theme song for life, what would it be?

I don’t care what Lara says. The Wobble is NOT an option.

EPISODE NOTES:

Save the Last Dance
Centerstage
So You Think You Can Dance “Turn to Stone” by Travis Wall
Dancing with the Stars “You Don’t Own Me”
“The Dance” by Garth Brooks

IHGB #207 -- Bachelor Matt Finale and After the Final Rose Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Hey y’all!

To say that Bachelor Matt James’ season finale was the most dramatic is an understatement. Although most of you probably knew the controversy that swirled around Rachael, one of his final two picks, I can report that many other moments had me wagging my finger at the screen, sucking in my breath in shock, and shaking my head in disbelief.

I will guess that most of you listening already know the glaring revelations from After the Final Rose. There’s no need for me to break down every little detail, commenting on the episode’s ins and outs, yet Some Guy in Austin and I do just that.

And look, I get that you’re listening right now because you really want to if Emmanuel Acho is as great as everyone is claiming him to be.

That answer, by the way, is yes.

Yes, Emmanuel Acho is a fine man who enjoys riveting conversation and the snug fit of a jaunty plaid suit.

IHGB #206 -- Bachelor Matt Fantasy Suites Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Well, it’s fantasy suite week, and there were way more tears than I would have anticipated for a time that traditionally is celebrated with champagne toasts, chocolate-covered strawberries, and “do not disturb” signs for the door.

Seriously. There were lots of reasons to cry, and Some Guy in Austin and I discuss them all. For example:

Is ABC the worst for trotting out Matt James’ dad for a fireside chat about his childhood?
Was Rachael blubbering over her inability to compartmentalize fantasy suite realities? Or was it her hideous shirt that showcased her bellybutton in a “TA DA” way?
How hard did Bri cry when she thought her fantasy suite date would occur in a pop-up tent from Academy Sports and Outdoors?
And did I laugh so hard at the end that I had to wipe my eyes with a tissue?

You’ll have to listen to find out.

IHGB #205 -- Golden Globes 2021 Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

Because I love you so, so very much, I chose to end a rather tasking week by plopping myself in front of the television so I could trudge through the Golden Globes so you didn’t have to.

Of course, I made Lara and Todd trudge with me because everyone knows trudging by oneself is like watching The Bachelor by oneself. You end up wondering what life is all about while stuffing your mouth full of leftover Christmas-themed Hersey kisses.

We do this because we care, and I’m so happy that Todd joined me on this episode to help sift through all of the nonsense.

I’m looking at you, Jason Sudeikis, and your tie dyed hoodie.

IHGB #204 -- Bachelor Matt's Women Tell All Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone !

As with most Women Tell All episodes, I prepared myself for a night full of ruffled feathers and consuming a stiff drink in anticipation of a long episode that could easily have been culled to twenty-five minutes of important information.

What I didn’t expect was the power to go out for three hours, forcing me to retreat to the only other person in my life who still has regular television and a DVR.

I want to thank Todd for being a delightful backup. You are the wind beneath my wings, and as a result, I was able to have a decent conversation with Some Guy in Austin about some very important questions. Such as:

Could you feel the weird vibe rolling off of all the rejects who returned for Women Tell All?
Does Abigail get dressed in the morning with the help of cartoon woodland creatures?
Is Cinderella the best of all the Disney princesses?
Is it creepy to make out with someone with your eyes wide open the entire time?
Are the glistening whiskers on Matt James’ face the telltale sign of a breakup beard?

Not only do we answer these questions, but Some Guy in Austin and I also share our own stories of bad breakup mistakes. For Some Guy, it was a gargantuan tattoo. For me, it was dying my hair brunette.

I looked like an evil twin version of myself.

IHGB #203 -- Bachelor Matt Hometown Dates Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone !

This week on The Bachelor is traditionally titled “Hometown Dates.” However, since all of the families have to quarantine at the Neapolitan due to COVID, the remaining contestants call this week “Home Visits.”

Some Guy in Austin and I discuss many things this episode, such as:

Michelle’s darling parents
The Gilmore Girl-ness of Bri and her mom
Serena’s deadpan sister and her fierce words
And facts about Canada, eh?

We also hypothesize the sound of bone crunching as Rachael’s face crashes into a lush grassy knoll over by the Neapolitan golf course. How did her features remain unscathed? Did she make a deal with the devil?

And were her glassy eyes a product of an emotional reunion with her parents? Or the remnants of Hydrocodone?

We clearly have a lot of feelings and a lot of questions about the logistics of this date and genuinely wonder if Rachael is a cyborg.

IHGB #202 -- Bachelor Matt Week 6: Cool Rider Feb 12, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone !

Who knew that a girl wearing puka shells all over her white gossamer gown could cause such a fuss, am I right? Some Guy in Austin and I break down week six of Matt James’ journey to find love, and we tackle many questions along the way.

How many bolts are missing from those carnival rides?
How many Temecula Road songs can you name off the top of your head?
Is the turtleneck the new statement necklace?
And which song from Grease 2 is the best on the soundtrack?

I’ll give you a hint. It’s NOT “Repoduction.” We all know where the pollen goes. No need to sing about it.

IHGB #201 -- Bachelor Matt Week 5: Crazy Little Thing Called Love Feb 06, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone,

Matt James has picked up his Swiffer and is cleaning house. The mean girls are GONE, and Some Guy in Austin and I have many questions we try and answer in this episode.

Should “raking manure” be considered an actual date?
Is MJ there for the right reasons? Does she really promote peace and harmony?
Could Kit be a fairy living in the human world?
When is a good time to tell someone you love them?

I’d also like to prepare you for not one, not two, but TEN censor sounds. Let me explain. I’m not sure if iTunes frowns upon a certain word that Victoria used several times, so I censored it to be on the safe side. I’m not crass.

Of course, I have to musically censor Some Guy in Austin twice due to the details of an indelicate story, but I figure at episode 201 that you’re probably used to that by now.

IHGB #200: Celebrating 200 Episodes with Lara Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Today is a special podcast. I’m recording my 200th episode, and I have each of you to thank for it! Your downloads and listening ears are the reason why I get to do what I love, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I asked my roommate Lara to help me celebrate this fun milestone. As we did with the 100th episode, Lara and I decided to share with you all of the things that are Two Hundo P in our lives.

Some of you may be wondering, “What does Two Hundo P mean?”

I’m glad you asked. Although we’re not certain, we are pretty sure that Hundo P means “one hundred percent.” Therefore, TWO Hundo P is even better!

Oh, we get into it, y’all. The best running shoes, candy preferences, and a new book series I just discovered. We debate bourbon, new albums, and the fact that Tostinos pizza rolls might be the best snack option ever.

We also discuss our current Hundo Zs and end the episode with a very embarrassing taste test. I’m going to go ahead and apologize now for what you will hear.

Spoiler: What we taste is NOT Two Hundo P.
