Delusional Diaries

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz kick things off with absolute chaos: from navigating the most unserious New York notary experience imaginable to selling a house, demolishing walls for a bed that simply refuses to fit, and surviving the stress of home renovations. they get into holiday plans, solo Thanksgivings, and why Thanksgiving food might just be the most overrated meal of the year. plus, Halley shares the full story behind adopting her fourth dog, the emotional rollercoaster of rescue life, and an unexpected escape-artist pup. the girls dive deep into your questions about dating, long distance, and the fear of being single forever, especially in big cities. they unpack why effort actually matters in love, how to enjoy single seasons without rushing the timeline, and why people are allowed to change their minds even when it hurts. from imposter syndrome and career confidence to cutting people out of your life without dragging things out, this episode blends brutal honesty with real-world advice you can actually use. they also tackle controversial wedding dilemmas, stay-at-home dad dynamics, tricky in-law boundaries, and what it really means to protect your peace as you level up in life. whether you’re navigating relationships, career doubts, friendships that no longer serve you, or just need a comforting listen that feels like FaceTiming your best friends: this episode is raw, reflective, funny, and painfully relatable.

this thanksgiving, we’re thankful for friendship! Maddie is back, and this episode is dedicated to the event of the season: the bachelorette in Cabo. we break down everything: Maddie’s favorite parts, the lingerie gifting, the unhinged itinerary, the emotional chaos of wedding planning spilling into vacation mode, and how stressful it can be when all of your friends from different stages of lives intertwine. between premarital counseling, kosher food tastings, and Pinterest-induced wedding anxiety, she entered Cabo needing a release, and she absolutely got one. because what happens in Cabo… comes back to haunt us in this podcast. from puking and rallying to the now-historic booty-shaking competition win (yes, sandals flying, knees bleeding, all that), the girls take us moment-by-moment through the funniest and most feral 48 hours of Maddie’s life. the Mango Deck saga deserves its own documentary, and we’re giving it the airtime it deserves. but behind the tequila and chaos is the real heart of the episode: girlhood, growing up, and holding on to your friendships as life shifts. we talk about seeing your friends get loved the way they deserve, combining families, outgrowing old versions of yourself, and the fear of realizing the club nights don’t last forever. this episode is feral, emotional, nostalgic, and iconic… a love letter to friendship, weddings, and the bachelorette weekend we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives.

after two weeks of nonstop travel, Halley and Jaz are finally back! from Maddie’s Cabo bachelorette to the Hero Cosmetics brand trip, BravoCon, Vegas chaos, last-minute hair appointments, and zero sleep, the girls recap every single detail. they talk friendship dynamics on brand trips, meeting creators IRL, social battery burnout, and the universal experience of needing a vacation after your vacation. once home, life doesn’t slow down… the girls dive into TikTok drama: from the viral Hair by Chrissy saga to the debate over kids’ skincare, the Angel Tree controversy, and the internet’s obsession with turning everything into a moral war. they also chat about holidays, honeymoon plans, Meadow Lane grocery store mania, picking wedding guest dresses, and the art of drinking on vacation vs. drinking in NYC when the vibes take over. there’s also talk of growing up, how their timelines for marriage and kids have changed, the importance of independence before motherhood, and whether “never fighting” in a relationship is actually a red flag. of course, it wouldn’t be Delusional Diaries without a little b**ching hour, some blocks of the week, a rant about TSA stealing hair extension pliers, and haters commenting on pregnancy jokes and eyebrows. the girls wrap up with plans for the Christmas market, Patreon updates, and a reminder that their men now hang out completely by choice… proof that girl friendships really do build communities.  Timestamps  0:20 - Cabo then Vegas then LA  9:55 - Thanksgiving plans  14:28 - Big things on the internet  28:01 - Meadow Lane opened  31:27 - How we thought life would play out  32:10 - Fights vs arguments vs conversations  38:57 - Bitching hour  44:09- Christmas market and Patreon Links Uncommon Goods - uncommongoods.com/diaries for 15% off ZocDoc - zocdoc.com/diaries See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

it’s another chaotic week on Delusional Diaries! the girls are packing for back-to-back trips, from Maddie’s Cabo bachelorette to a very convenient brand trip that just so happens to be in Cabo. they talk bachelorettes, friend group dynamics, and why mixing people from different chapters of your life is always a wild experiment. from party floors destroyed by heels to the great “SATC shoe debate,” they reflect on their Halloween weekend, the aftermath of too much tequila, and how hangovers hit way harder now, sparking a full conversation about growing out of the “every weekend” phase and choosing soft life nights in over blacking out. they also come to their shared realization that maybe mocktails shouldn’t cost the same as cocktails.  the episode takes its usual chaotic turn with a cozy winter rant: daylight savings depression and the girls’ love-hate relationship with the holidays. they get into pop culture deep dives, from Lily Allen and David Harbour drama to People’s Sexiest Man Alive and the celebrity edits they can’t stop watching. by the end, they’re debating whether singers are ever sexy, laughing at actor crushes, and ending on the most unserious note possible: Halley watching football on a plane just to calm her anxiety. it’s unfiltered, funny, and weirdly therapeutic: just two girls overthinking life, love, and pop culture with zero structure and maximum serotonin.

after the travel day from hell, Halley and Jaz are back in New York, and they’re back behind the mic to tell the tale. this week’s episode of Delusional Diaries takes you inside their 12-hour flight delay, Detroit detour, and the chaotic mission to make it home in time for their Halloween party. from near meltdowns at TSA to accidentally exiting the airport mid-delay (rookie mistake), the girls relive every delusional moment with unfiltered honesty and way too much laughter. once they finally touch down, it’s back to business: 36 bottles of tequila delivered at 7 a.m., party prep chaos, and a rare beauty event that turned into a bidding war against Benny Blanco (spoiler: they lost). between horror travel stories, spray tan small talk, and gym class trauma, Halley and Jaz unpack the kind of week that makes you question your sanity and still somehow laugh about it. they wrap up with some classic chaos: friendship growth, separate bedrooms in marriage, childhood lies, and the eternal debate: do you ever really “go to bed angry”? it’s the perfect mix of airline rage, emotional regulation, and delusional girl therapy. buckle up (literally), this one’s turbulence from start to finish.
