Happy Thursday, everyone. Well, it's finally happened. It took almost a year, but I got my mom to sit down for a chat.

The purpose was to answer some of the listeners or readers questions, and the result was a long, oh so long interview

because the woman could have a sparkling conversation with a brick wall and have a ball doing it.

Things to note. Mama talks with her hands wall and have a ball doing it. Things to note.

Mama talks with her hands, so you'll hear her accidentally hitting the microphone every once in a while,

just ignore it. You'll hear Daddy watching TV in the background if you listen hard enough.

You're going to hear birds outside the window occasionally, and you'll learn a lot about the woman who taught me everything I know. Of course, I taught her a few things, too, like a love of

Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake. You're welcome, mother. She's never going to listen to this.

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.

Hi, Mama.

Hello, Lindsay.

How are you?

I'm good.

Will you tell the people why you spelled my name so weird?

Ha, ha.

I didn't do that.

Best story ever. Who did do that?

Yeah, I know. You're a daddy.

Yes. Why?

Well, he's always been a person that likes to be different.
