Literally Heinous

Lit Hein bestie Maeve Conway joins the podcast today to debrief the Grammys! We talk about Miley Cyrus and her epic wins and performance. I give my uncut thoughts on Taylor Swifts wins and album announcement (please don't come for me). We finish the conversation with our favorite topic, Barbie, and the realizations we've had about the movie now that we're six months away from it. Enjoy!

I am back with a solo episode providing a two month update on living in NYC! A lot of changes and realizations happened since my first NYC episode, and I'm here with a full update on what life has been like since moving here.

I also talk about Ariana Grande and her homewrecking allegations, a topic I've put off discussing for awhile. I compare it to other recent celebrity scandals and explain why I'm still loyal to my girl.

This episode was recorded right after my bestie girl Taylor and I woke up from one of the craziest nights (and mornings) of our lives. Although we were in no condition to read classic literature or operate heavy machinery, we needed to update the Lit Hein listeners on our night. The caveat is that I messed up the audio... we can't be pretty, funny, smart AND good at AV?! So bear in mind that the quality is 7/10 but the content is 100000/10.

The night before NYE, Taylor and I hit the town with one goal: go to The Box -- a notorious s*x club in NYC famous for exclusivity and debaucherous live performances. Before that, we gallivanted around town, collecting funny stories like horcruxes, all to bring back to the Heinous Listeners. Enjoy--and don't tell our parents!

I'm sorry that I've been sooooo mysterious lately. Like where even *am* I? That's because I was in the middle of moving to New Yawk baBY. This episode is strictly business, okay?! I have a lot of 'splaining to do, and it's all laid out for you. In this episode, I detail EVERYTHING about the move. From what spawned the move, to how I found the apartment, to physically moving my things, to how I picked my neighborhood, how much my rent costs, how I'm furnishing the place, EVERYTHING. I talk about my biggest misconceptions about NYC and what has surprised me the most, good and bad. I've been here for approx. 3 weeks, so take all of this with a grain of salt. This is just *my* experience in the short time I've been here. Although this episode is strictly administrative, it's crucial to set the context for the episodes that follow it.

It's Britney B*TCH! Duke Puterbaugh, certified Britney historian and retired Stan Twitter celeb, joins Literally Heinous to discuss Britney Spears' memoir. We summarize the stories and read excerpts of the most important parts. Duke gives insight into her experience as a Britney Stan and how she went to her residency--peak conservatorship--and was seated next to Paris Hilton and got pictures with Britney herself. Enjoy!

What do Mike Tyson, Robin Williams and Jeremy Allen White (AKA The Bear) have in common? They all came to my mom through her recent psychedelic experience taking Bufo (toad venom) and psilocybin (magic mushrooms). My mom recently went on a psychedelic retreat with like-minded people around the country to embark on a journey of opening their minds through plant-based medicine. She talks about the person she was before and after the trip and how she found her way back to traditional therapy, despite her initial negative experiences.
