Literally Heinous

Zoe is back on Literally Heinous and we are recapping both weeks 2 and 3 (episodes 7-25). Our conflicting schedules prevented us from recording the weeks separately, but next week, we will be back to doing one at a time. We run through the current Islanders and their situations and predicaments, as well as the Islanders that have left us and what led to that. We definitely don't go easy on the Islanders, so sorry in advance if you're a Will stan ;)

Recap the Grammys with me and my pop culture scholar bestie, Raylin! We talk about the big awards of the night, THAT Harry Styles quote, whether or not influencers should be at Hollywood events and way more. Raylin provides tons of insight into how The Academy works and some interesting Grammy factoids you can't find anywhere else. Lily also talks about her obsession with meth (learning about it) in 8th grade and how that relates to Ed Sheeran (more ways than you think). Enjoy!

Join Lily and Zoe for a recap of the first week (episodes 1-6) of Love Island UK season 9. We break down the initial couplings and recouplings and our first impressions of the Islanders. We have a chat about our favorite and least favorite Islanders (*cough* farmer Will) and predict what we think will happen next week.

I envisioned this episode going differently. I thought I would waltz into the new year with a fresh liver (post 31-day alcohol cleanse) and exciting stories about my trip to NYC. Instead, I was blessed with food poisoning so awful that I think my digestive system clocked out and hired a replacement. Regardless, I come bearing stories about my recent dry month, travel experiences, managing food poisoning in Manhattan, my really niche New Year's resolution and my long overdue thoughts on Selena Gomez. Now that the dust has settled on kidney-gate, I feel safe enough to air my negative thoughts on the messy queen.

Journalist and Taylor Swift certified super fan Sam Raudins joins Literally Heinous to talk about how she got plucked off the internet by Taylor Swift herself and invited to her house in the summer of 2019. We talk about everything from the Tumblr post that got Taylor's attention, to the cheugy family photos in her house, to how Taylor fluffed up her hair for the picture. 

(00:00:00) - Life catch up 

(00:09:40) - Our impressions of Taylor

(01:12:05) - Secret Sessions controversy, general Taylor fan talk

We need to get a few things straight about Tik Tok's new it girlie Alix Earle. She's what Charli D'amelio was to teeny boppers in 2019 but for older Gen Zs and millennials. Alix's recent blow up on the app has skyrocketed her to internet fame and has everyone (who isn't already clinically in love with her) wondering "who is she?" "what's the hype?" and "what makes her so special?". Dive in with me and I will walk you through where she came from and what particularly is making her so attractive as a creator. Anyways, we stan Alix Earle.

My dad joins me this episode to deep dive all things Seinfeld. Richard Maslia, Seinfeld historian and real estate icon, talks about the cast pre and post show and some behind the scenes facts you probably didn't know. We talk about our favorite bits, episodes and supporting characters, plus an analysis on whether or not Seinfeld stands the test of time. It's the airing of grievances!!!

This episode details my best (and only) extended celebrity interaction. Former Viner turned YouTube Vlogfather David Dobrik visited my college and I somehow finagled a way for him and his friends to come to my house. I dive into his upbringing and how he came to be, the party at my house (read: the best night of my life) and his eventual cancellation in 2021. Earlier in the episode, I talk more about how Literally Heinous came to be and of course sprinkle in some Lindsay Lohan references, of course. Enjoy! <3

Welcome to Mom Talk part two on Literally Heinous. Join my mom, Sarah Galambos, and me as we finish up our discussion from part 1 and dig deeper into how we reprogram our brains and break habits. Whether it's quitting alcohol altogether or learning how to drink responsibly, you can decide what works best for you and (hopefully) we will help you do that.

Welcome to episode three of Literally Heinous! I am so excited to share my favorite person with the world... my mom, Sarah Galambos! We speak honestly about exploring sobriety, whether for a few weeks out of the year or a lifetime commitment, in a culture that puts alcohol above everything. Mom tells us about her experience getting sober for good, and Lily gives some tips on doing dry months and taking a break from going out culture.
