    tell me lies ft. Alicia Crowder

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are joined by Alicia Crowder, aka Diana from Tell Me Lies, and it’s peak fangirl chaos and behind-the-scenes tea. they get into the cult-like TikTok community around the show, insane fan theories that almost outdo the writers, and what it’s like to watch people dissect your character in real time. from auditioning over Zoom and finding out she booked the role while sitting on her couch, to the shock of reading THAT plot twist, Alicia shares what it’s really like being at the center of one of the internet’s most unhinged relationship dramas. the girls dive deep into Diana’s psychology: ambition, codependency, perfectionism, and that terrifying type-A composure that somehow still cracks. they talk toxic men, manipulation disguised as love, and why Stephen isn’t strategic, he just wants control. Alicia opens up about Juilliard, 15-hour shoot days, filming scenes out of order, memorizing five-page dialogues, and the pressure of delivering emotional chaos on cue at 4 a.m. plus, the subtle power move of asking writers to let Diana score higher on the LSAT (as she should). and because this is Delusional Diaries, it wouldn’t be complete without a little fun: Diana answering Hinge prompts, night owl vs. morning person debates, dog-mom routines, superstitions during auditions, and the very real spiral of waiting to hear if you’re “the final two.” it’s a mix of ambition, vulnerability, internet obsession, and the reminder that even the most put-together girls are still human. chaotic, thoughtful, and slightly delusional, obviously. just, with a special guest this time!

    respectfully, not respectfully.

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are in full catch-up mode: starting with freezing New York weather, apartment struggles that feel borderline illegal, and the universal winter rage that comes with it. from heat that doesn’t heat to space heaters blowing fuses, it’s a full-on b**ching hour that somehow turns comforting. because if you’re also freezing, spiraling, and questioning your living situation… welcome home. the girls get into engagement discourse, internet weirdos, and the surprisingly heated debate around last names, weddings, and traditions. they talk natural vs. lab diamonds, why people care way too much, and the very real headache of changing your name (paperwork trauma, confirmed). there’s also a wholesome moment of self-reflection, family dynamics, and choosing which traditions actually matter, and which ones you’re allowed to ignore. plus, gym etiquette horror stories, accidental main-character embarrassment, throwback nights out that involve limos and serotonin, and a nostalgic dive into the magcon era you either lived for or somehow missed entirely. it’s chaotic, honest, funny, and very “this could’ve been a private conversation but now it’s a podcast.”, as always.  Timestamps  1:35 - We are freezing  21:57 - the MAGCON boys  30:42 - Weddings are expensive  32:00 - The SuperBowl and our predictions  49:27 - Halley’s Elle Woods moment  Link to video Jaz references: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8H6RLF9/  Links SeatGeek - Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/DELUSIONAL10 Sponsored by SeatGeek.

    no, there won’t be a wedding

    in this episode of Delusional Diaries, Halley is officially engaged… yes let’s take a moment. and she’s recording minutes after surviving a truly cursed international travel day. fresh off a chaotic europe run (Rome, the French Alps, Geneva, Zurich & probably hell too after the insane travel), the girls unpack surprise engagements, emotional whiplash, canceled flights, snowstorms, and why airports bring out your worst personality traits. they get into luxury delusions vs. reality: hermes bag politics, resale drama, obscene swiss prices, brand-trip burnout, ski towns without the skiing, and why being a tourist is actually the correct approach to traveling. Halley breaks down how getting engaged didn’t magically change her life or personality, while Jaz keeps things grounded with humor, honesty, and a shared love of spa resets, elite chocolate, and friendship decompression. naturally, the conversation spirals: travel-day crash-outs, snapping at your partner for absolutely no reason, quitting habits during a snowstorm, the existential pressure to have a “hobby,” and the realization that some people thrive in chaos more than consistency. engagement glow, nervous system fried. no pretending, no polishing, just your two favorite besties breaking down everything.

    escapism shouldn’t give you anxiety

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are truly going to take you on a rollercoaster of chatting & beyond. from unexpectedly feeling way too much empathy during high-stakes sports games to realizing that escapism shouldn’t cause anxiety, they unpack the little thoughts that spiral into way bigger conversations. what starts as football stress quickly turns into a debate about why caring too much can be exhausting, and why sometimes you just want your entertainment to be fun, not emotionally taxing. the girls also get into music moods, pop culture obsessions, and the shows that shaped them. from rethinking sad-girl playlists and romanticizing The Bold Type as peak twenties escapism, to loving Zara Larsson’s comeback and needing to be “in on” whatever show the internet is obsessing over, it’s a full deep dive into comfort culture. along the way, they talk celebrity sightings, influencer life, social media chaos, and the weird pressure of always being online. as always, the episode wraps with classic H & J shenanigans: procrastination confessions, friendship dynamics, hypothetical life questions, beauty honesty, and hot takes on cheating, botox, baby names, and becoming a “real” New Yorker. it’s funny, self-aware, slightly unhinged, and very much giving “two best friends talking on the couch about everything and nothing” (exactly how we like it).

    trying to slow down (kind of)

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a chaotic start to the new year and talk about what it actually looks like to slow down without losing their minds. they unpack travel burnout, the pressure to always be on the move, and the realization that building your entire schedule around workout classes, waitlists, and cancellation fees might not be the healthiest lifestyle choice. from embracing solo gym time to treadmill editing and the ongoing Pilates discourse, the girls share what routines feel sustainable right now, and which ones quietly make life harder than it needs to be. as always, the episode naturally drifts into a classic B**ching Hour™️, covering the annoyances that shouldn’t matter but absolutely do. Halley vents about unnecessary rush fees and timing mishaps, while both girls spiral over delayed luggage, winter trips being impossible to pack for, and the stress of brand travel when your jacket is basically your entire outfit. they also talk about reading podcast comments, dealing with online opinions, and the mental balance of appreciating positive feedback without letting praise, or criticism, get too personal. the episode wraps with nostalgia that you probably will relate to as well, from teenage sleepovers, fake IDs, Four Lokos, and sneaking alcohol to the unmatched joy of girls’ nights before men became the center of everything. they touch on dogs, adoption realities, new hobbies that may or may not last, and the shared delusion that this year is somehow going to be the one. nothing groundbreaking, just a very real, very Halley & Jaz episode.

    hitting the reset button

    it’s the first episode of the year, and Halley and Jaz are ringing in 2026 exactly how they know best: overanalyzing everything, setting unrealistic resolutions, and spiraling (lovingly) through life updates. from the psychological power of a “new year, new me” mindset to seasonal depression, meds, wellness eras, and why January feels either elite or unbearable, the girls unpack how they’re approaching the year ahead: very differently. the episode flows through travel plans, brand trips, Rome itineraries, New Year’s hangovers, book obsessions, TV recs that may or may not ever be watched, and the internet drama everyone seems forced to have an opinion on. the girls sound off on influencer discourse, public scrutiny, relationships in the spotlight, and why sometimes it’s okay to simply not care. they also dive into relationship dynamics, wedding season thoughts, guest etiquette, bachelorette trip planning, and whether opposites really do attract. as always, the episode balances humor with honesty, proving once again that delusion, when paired with self-awareness, is actually a life skill. cozy up, welcome the new year, and let the spiral begin once again.

    2025 wrapped

    it is New Year’s Eve, and in this episode of Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a rough holiday stretch, unpacking everything from being violently sick with the flu to navigating grief, canceled plans, and the strange emotional whiplash that comes with the end of the year. they reflect on Christmas not going as expected, the loneliness that can creep in during downtime, and how loss puts everything into perspective, even when you don’t quite know what to say or feel. from there, the girls spiral into their classic b**ching hour, one last time for 2025: why shopping in Aritzia should be classified as an extreme sport, why sidewalk etiquette in New York is apparently a lost art, and the internet’s obsession with correcting women in relationships. they also get candid about online comments, ownership, boundaries, and why saying “we” doesn’t suddenly erase a woman’s independence or accomplishments. the episode wraps with a chaotic but heartfelt 2025 recap: favorite songs, trips, outfits, purchases, crash-outs, and milestones, along with reflections on female friendship, partnership vs. best friendship, and why having your person in different forms matters. we’re closing the year exactly as we lived it: honest, imperfect, and surrounded by the people who make it survivable. if this year humbled you, broke you open, or changed you forever, this episode is for you.

    unwrapping it all

    it’s Christmas, and here at Delusional Diaries, we’re not forcing a festive mood or pretending life magically slows down for the holidays. Halley and Jaz sit in the in-between space: post-travel, end-of-year, slightly exhausted, and talk through everything that didn’t go exactly as planned. from luxury trips that felt underwhelming, to honeymoons that turned out to be longer than needed, they unpack expectations versus reality and what it actually means to know yourself well enough to opt out. the conversation naturally drifts into internet chaos and strong opinions, covering viral pranks, influencer etiquette, filming in workout classes, and the exhausting double standards women are constantly navigating online. they also get honest about holiday logistics in relationships: doing holidays apart, family traditions, engagement pressure, and why choosing what works for you can feel uncomfortable but necessary this time of year. to close it out, the episode turns reflective without getting sentimental. the girls talk end-of-year wins, mental health growth, unexpected emotions around marriage and pregnancy tests, blocks of the week, friendship moments, and a fast-food sauce crusade that somehow feels like a small Christmas miracle. it’s messy, real, funny, and grounding, exactly the kind of episode you want on while the holiday noise dies down and you finally get a minute to breathe.  Timestamps  0:21 - Happy to be back   5:28 - Jaz’s honeymoon  9:24 - Need to get this off my chest  15:06 - This year’s wins  24:35 - Block of the week  38:05 - Rude influencers  47:40 - Squishmellows and Wendy’s 53:48 - Sleep schedules  Links Chime: chime.com/diaries  More of Delusional Diaries Podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Delusionaldiariespodcast Substack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/ Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
