Halley and Jaz are finally back on the couch after a whirlwind couple of weeks, and this episode doesn’t hold back. Halley shares the full story of her week-long hospital stay after a brutal ulcerative colitis flare-up that left her in constant pain and doubting herself. from gaslighting her own symptoms to finally realizing she needed urgent care, she opens up about the mental toll of chronic illness, the long nights in the ER, and the fear of potentially losing her colon.

the episode balances heavy and hilarious as Halley recounts absurd hospital moments: nurses melting plastic into her food, the fight for a private room, and doctors giving her conflicting diet advice. Jaz keeps the energy steady, while also finding humor in the chaos. together, they highlight what it’s really like to navigate a health crisis, from anxiety spirals to unexpected gratitude when the right medication finally works.

but it’s not all hospitals and IV drips. as the besties dive back into their usual blend of life updates and pop culture chatter: golf trips to Wisconsin, moving drama, TikTok spirals, Kylie Jenner lip combos, and the possibility of seeing Justin Bieber headline Coachella. it’s an episode that feels raw, real, and ridiculous: a mix of health diaries, best friend therapy, and the kind of unfiltered chaos that makes Delusional Diaries your favorite.

This week, Halley and Jaz are back behind the mic, but they’re not alone. If you’ve been rocking with Delusional Diaries since the early days, you already know her (and probably love her). And if you don’t… allow us to introduce: Eli Rallo. Writer, content creator, podcast host, professional rule-maker, and queen of saying exactly what we’re all thinking. Eli first blew up on TikTok with her iconic “the jarr” videos, and since then she’s built a ride-or-die community obsessed with her mix of humor, honesty, and that big sister who tells it like it is energy. Oh, and casual flex, she’s already the author of two books with a third on the way.

From reminiscing about their “freshman class” days in the New York influencer scene to catching up on weddings, book tours, and everything in between, this episode feels like a full-circle moment. The trio dives into the realities of growing up online, from cringing at old videos to learning to feel confident in your late 20s. They also swap stories about early event-hopping nights, the evolution of their careers, and the misconceptions people have about friendship changes. Of course, there’s plenty of wedding talk, Taylor Swift engagement theories, and the sacred art of being perfectly “wedding drunk.”

Eli opens up about writing her second book, the emotional process behind it, and the exciting leap into fiction with her upcoming third. It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, laughter, and honesty, proof that every era of life brings its own kind of magic. If you missed her, it’s time to catch up. If you’re new, you’re about to fall in love. Either way — this episode is one for the books.

Halley and Jaz are back behind the mics, and this week’s episode is giving full chaotic bestie energy. what starts as a tiny texting disagreement spirals into a hilarious deep dive on friendship etiquette, unread messages, and why “one sec” almost never means one second. if you’ve ever wanted to scream at your friends through the phone, you’re going to feel very seen.

but of course, it wouldn’t be Delusional Diaries without some unhinged detours. between questionable snack choices, roommate horror stories, and a rant or two about unsolicited opinions, the girls manage to turn even the most random topics into comedy gold. somewhere in the middle of the chaos, there are moments of raw honesty about health, moods, and how to stay sane when life insists on being annoying.

by the end, you’ll feel like you’ve been on FaceTime with your two funniest (and most brutally honest) friends. from pop culture hot takes to delusional rants that will have you laughing out loud, this episode is messy, dramatic, and exactly the kind of therapy session you didn’t know you needed. buckle up, press play, and enjoy.

your favorite duo is back this week: Halley and Jaz dive straight into the week’s wildest headline, Taylor and Travis are officially engaged. the two spiral into full-on parasocial mode, breaking down everything from the shock of a collab post announcement to imagining what the wedding guest list and security would even look like. Jaz jokes about becoming a bodyguard, Halley debates whether it will be a mega-celebrity event or a secret ceremony, and both of them can’t help but laugh at just how invested they’ve become in a couple they’ve never met.

from there, the conversation flows into a whirlwind of personal updates. Jaz vents about the chaos of her home renovations, accidentally sending the most questionable texts to her contractor, and realizing just how much fences cost in Long Island. health takes center stage as well as Halley navigates her workout routine and spray tan obsession, and as the two debate TikTok’s “pale girl exposure therapy” trend, listeners get a raw and hilarious look at how they balance wellness, vanity, and everything in between.

as always, the episode is packed with their signature hilarious banter. they go off about awkward gynecologist appointments, friendship trio politics when it comes to picking a maid of honor, a specific chaotic experience at a bathhouse that ended in no massage, and the bizarre etiquette breaches they’ve witnessed at influencer events like the US Open. add in puppy potty-training wins and the iconic story of Halley accidentally doubting herself about James Marsden literally living across the street, and you’ve got a jam-packed episode full of laughter, relatability, and the kind of storytelling only Halley and Jaz can deliver.

Halley and Jaz are back this week with a jam-packed episode that swings from fair food to full-on meltdowns. Jaz shares her whirlwind trip to Alaska for the state fair, complete with nostalgia, fried food, and accidentally getting the best sleep of her life in a bunk bed. meanwhile, the two catch up on home life, debating bed sizes, dogs hogging the sheets, and how to actually get a night of rest in New York City.

the conversation takes a raw turn when Halley opens up about her ulcerative colitis and recent colonoscopy. from the stress of prepping, to her full-blown panic at the hospital, to adjusting to new medications, she doesn’t hold back about how draining chronic illness can be. Jaz balances things out with her never-ending food cravings, late-night kitchen raids, and even considering Ozempic just to quiet the “food noise.”

also, the girls spiral over Camp Rock versus Camp Star, rant about bizarre internet drama, Jaz’s dog’s very unfortunate medical moment, and of course dive into Taylor Swift theories and the very infamous podcast appearance. this episode is chaotic, it’s candid, and it’s exactly the kind of unfiltered girl talk you come here for every week.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz kick things off with a hilarious deep dive into Halley’s ongoing coffee conspiracy. After her viral latte video, she’s convinced her local shop is purposely sabotaging her order: burnt espresso, missing flavors, the works. from Uber Eats hacks to wondering if the baristas secretly hate her, it’s a full caffeine-fueled saga that sets the tone for the episode’s blend of comedy and chaos.

the conversation spirals into astrology, creative burnout, and a bit of a look into the realities of influencer life. the girls get real about how nonstop travel, brand deals, and constant pressure to create can drain inspiration, while also reflecting on how much their lives have evolved since they started. they open up about balancing relationships, fighting scarcity mindsets, and handling criticism from people who say they’ve “changed.” it’s like something inbetween a vent session and candid insight into what it’s really like behind the curated feeds.

to wrap things up, they switch gears with nostalgic back-to-school memories, playground favorites, and even the rise and fall of silly bandz and Webkinz. plus, they answer a listener dilemma about guy best friends crossing the line and imagine the ultimate “day from hell” itinerary in New York City. from childhood flashbacks to savage hypotheticals, this episode is messy, unfiltered, and oh-so Delusional Diaries.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz take you through a whirlwind of updates, laughs, and a little chaos. from Jaz’s candid talk about body changes and jean sizes to Halley’s Montauk staycation complete with beach views, shark sightings, and wild Hampton crowds, they share all their recent shenanigans… they also share why their Costa Rica trip got canceled, swap stories about festival life, Jaz fresh from Lollapalooza, and break down the extremes fans go to for barricade spots. between packed coffee shop lines, overpriced party tickets, and Surf Lodge’s impossible entry rules, the girls keep it real about what’s worth the hype and what’s not.

the episode then dives into the realities of influencer life, as they discuss why people hold creators to a higher standard than their own friends and the bizarre nitpicks that show up in comment sections. from defending a lighthearted dog joke to tackling the “no benefit of the doubt” culture online, Halley and Jaz aren’t afraid to call out the double standards they face. they also touch on messy friendship politics: like suddenly seeing your ex-friend post with someone they used to trash...

of course, it wouldn’t be Delusional Diaries without a crash-out rant or two. Jaz unleashes on West Elm’s customer service nightmare, and her newest addition to her family. there’s also talk of vision checks without insurance, LASIK horror and success stories, and mutual squeamishness over needles. it’s a full ride of personal drama, lighthearted banter, and the kind of unfiltered storytelling that makes you feel like you’re in the room with them!

if you’ve ever felt like you’re one meltdown away from a wellness era or two iced coffees into a spiral, this episode is going to be your comfort zone. Delusional Diaries returns with the kind of unfiltered conversations that cover everything from habit-building and hot girl workouts to that deeply relatable sense of “i’m trying, but also… i’m tired.” it’s less self-improvement and more self-awareness (with a side of Diet Coke).

Halley & Jaz get real about the intersection of health, stress, and identity, peeling back the curtain on what it’s like to navigate chronic illness while keeping up appearances. there’s talk of gut issues, liquid diets, and the emotional toll of feeling “off” in a world that expects you to be on. but somehow, it’s still funny, because vulnerability and sarcasm go hand in hand here.

and naturally, things derail in the best way: from irrational fears (reborn dolls, anyone?) to the politics of bridesmaid dresses, twins, minivans, and blacking out at weddings, it’s the usual delusional chaos, full of tangents, truths, and the kind of late-night debates only best friends can have. tune in, spiral with us, and feel like you’re one of us in this first episode of august

in this week’s episode, Halley and Jaz are breaking down SO MANY TOPICS: starting with the viral TikTok comments about pregnancy rumors and a spontaneous ear bleed (yes, you read that right). the girls deep-dive into the messy world of gender reveals, pregnancy expectations, and the irrational emotional rollercoaster of wanting a baby… eventually. from Botox updates to debating if it’s ever okay to be disappointed by your baby’s gender, they dish it all with their signature mix of honesty and humor.

then it gets a bit unhinged, in the best way possible, as they unpack the internet’s latest obsession: the woman who stole $1300 worth of goods from Target and said, “I’ll just pay now.” this naturally leads to Halley and Jaz sharing their own teen stealing confessions, Jaz’s traumatic memory of being the first-ever Target customer in Alaska, and a spiral into the chaotic world of retail stories and their teenage jobs. Plus: the ongoing saga of their Pickle closets, unsolicited DMs, and influencer pet peeves.

to wrap it up, the duo dive into their chaotic travel updates, Jaz’s terrifying solo flight on a mini plane, and their excitement (and exhaustion) over upcoming plans. from Costa Rica content trips to fall cravings, puppy fever, HR cheating scandals, and Justice store memories: you’ll laugh, reminisce, and relate to every second. as always, it’s real, delusional, and completely unforgettable.

Halley and Jaz are back: with way too much to catch up on. from summer travel whiplash to an exciting (but mysterious) Costa Rica work trip, they’re trying to slow down… but obviously, that’s not happening. they recap Halley’s Europe adventures, reflect on hosting everyone except themselves all summer, and spiral over how there are somehow only eight weekends of summer left. (how did that happen?)

naturally, the convo devolves into a full Love Island debrief. spoiler alert: they don’t trust the producers, they’ve got big opinions on Nic and Olandria, and yes, they’re still obsessed with Amaya. they also get deep about cancel culture, double standards between men and women, childhood bedroom redesigns, babysitting horror stories, sneaky Rite Aid thefts, and why college dorming should honestly be illegal. ALSO: a lot of your questions get answered, and the answers are JUICY!

this episode is a chaotic cocktail of nostalgia, unfiltered advice, and friendship rants with a side of sassiness & tea-spilling. it’s everything you didn’t know you needed: just press play and let the rollercoaster begin.
