Hello, everyone. If you have been around this podcast or even my recap for longer than a minute,

you probably know the moment I checked out of Devin's hometown date. Let me give you a hint. It starts

with the word running and ends with the word club. Some guy in Austin and I break down all of the

intricacies of each hometown date and share our thoughts about pounding coffee after a mile hike in the heat,

pounding champagne after a friendly game of lacrosse, and pounding donuts in a grocery store full of animatronics.

I'll take the dancing milk carton and JV version of a chick-fil-A

cow any day of the week. Thank you. 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 353 of the I Hate Green Beans podcast. I'm your host Lindsay. I'm here with

some guy in Austin to talk about Jen's hometown dates. Now let me ask you a quick question.

If you had to guess at the beginning of this season that Deon would appear to be a frontrunner after

hometowns. Would that have shocked you? Or would you have thought, yeah, that makes sense. That

makes sense. It would have shocked me. And also, no, no, no, listen. That he appears to be the

most normal of the four? Yeah, I mean, a Pierce is probably the operative.

Who knows?

Yeah, no, and look, and he's a Houston guy, too, so, you know, good for that guy, you know.

But, you know, the first one is always the most normal.

We've always said that in hometowns.
