Hello everyone. I'd like to start this episode off with an apology. I was attacked by the crud

last week, which kept insisting I lay horizontal no matter how much I wanted to get things done.

In the end, it was the podcast that suffered the wrath of the host that took up residence in my

body. And for that, I apologize. I rarely miss an episode, and I

appreciate those who reached out to make sure I was not in a ditch somewhere. Thank you.

Fortunately, my voice sort of came back a few days ago, and I rallied with some guy in Austin

so we could nitpick Michelle's roster to see who is here for the right reasons. In my opinion, it's only Granny Smith

Rodney, but I'll give these other jokers a shot at winning Michelle's heart. And how might

one go about doing that? Well, for starters, you don't act like a junior high boy and ignore

her at the church lock-in slumber party. Some guy thinks the producers

told the men to ignore Michelle and play with teddy bears and popcorn machines instead.

But I have a different theory, and that is, boys are stupid.

Hey everyone, I'm Lindsay and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast. During each episode, I'll be discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends who love pop culture as much as I do. For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise. And no, I do not want to try your grandmother's famous green bean cassero recipe.

But thanks for offering.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It's episode 241 of the I Hate Green Beans podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay, believe it or not, this is me talking.

I know my voice sounds crazy. It's super fun. I lost my voice

um, gosh, five days ago. So it's just now sort of coming back, maybe about six days ago. It's

just now coming back. And is it true some guy in Austin that you also are feeling under the weather?

I am feeling under the weather. And we had hours of comedy magic on this podcast recorded in

person last week that you were too sick to get up. I know.
