    what’s to come

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back on the couch catching up on everything from Invisalign lisps and New York City overstimulation to brutal hangovers, Disney adult magic, and the chaos of spring in the city. the girls get real about adjusting to life in New York, how constant noise and overstimulation can weirdly become comforting, and why moving there can feel like both a dream and a nightmare. Jaz shares her unexpectedly perfect Disney World trip filled with lucky girl syndrome, short lines, and peach Dole Whip obsession & so much more! the conversation then turns to summer plans, honeymoon arrangements, and major life updates. Halley gives an exciting update on her almost-finished house renovation, from accidentally walking on freshly stained floors to debating the perfect dog-proof couch color, while Jaz talks about finally settling into her own nearly completed home. the girls discuss their goals for the summer: learning how to park a boat, becoming gardening girls, getting snatched, making good content, and embracing a more zen lifestyle. they also debate summer destinations, from Greece to the Amalfi Coast, while weighing beach clubs, shopping, and FOMO over missing Hamptons weekends with friends. of course, they wrap things up with the unhinged takes you know and love so much: online dating discourse, TikTok debates, and their girls trip to Tokyo and Seoul. from whether dads should bring daughters into women’s restrooms, to why dating apps may have ruined modern romance, but can still work if you grind hard enough, the girls share brutally honest opinions on love, dating, and the realities of meeting someone on Hinge. plus, they assign roles to their upcoming Asia travel crew, talk trying new foods in Japan, head spa dreams, and all the excitement (and anxiety) of traveling across the world with six girls.  Timestamps  3:30 - Living in NYC 8:43 - Jaz’s recent travels & updates  13:32 - The sleepover  26:55 - Summer goals  29:15 - Tokyo and Seoul  40:04 - Online dating  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/ More of Halley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykate More of Jaz: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidk Links  apartments.com - apartments.com  Nutrafol - Use promo code DELUSIONAL for $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping at https://nutrafol.com/ Ollie - Ollie.

    double trouble ft. Danielle & Brigette Pheloung

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are joined by twin sisters Brigette Pheloung and Danielle Pheloung, the stylish duo behind PhePhe and familiar faces from social media. the girls catch up on all things Coachella chaos, from camping out in the Justin Bieber crowd and secondhand highs to Snapchat streak confessions, YouTube “safe spaces,” and the realities of being content creators online. they also get into their different relationships with routine, wellness, and working out, with Jaz questioning everyone’s obsession with 7:30 a.m. Tracy Anderson classes while Brigette and Danielle reveal the secret to their ultra-disciplined lifestyles. the conversation then turns into a hilarious and surprisingly deep dive into twin life. Brigette and Danielle open up about being identical twins, whether they ever compete with each other, if they’ve ever been jealous, and the biggest fight they’ve ever had (spoiler: they got involved with the same guy in high school). they talk about their polar opposite taste in men, dating guys from the same hometown, and whether their fiancés could actually tell them apart. the girls also unpack wedding season in full force, from Brigette’s bachelorette planning and choosing not to have bridesmaids, to Danielle’s maid-of-honor speech pressure, Jaz’s wedding content legacy, and all the chaos that comes with planning life’s biggest events in the public eye. as if wedding planning, content creation, and running a business weren’t enough, Brigette and Danielle get real about launching PhePhe together and what it’s actually like mixing sisterhood with business. the girls swap stories about their best and worst brand trips, dream travel plans to Korea and Tokyo, and the pressure of constantly creating online while keeping up with real life behind the scenes. from “green monster” jealousy and influencer drama to heartfelt friendship moments… this episode has everything: sister chaos, wedding stress, business talk, and the kind of laughter that feels like you’re sitting on the couch with the girls, exactly the type of vibe that only Delusional Diaries can bring!

    delusionchella

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back together after what feels like forever apart…and they have A LOT of ground to cover. starting off with Coachella: Jaz was there, Halley had major fomo but made peace with it, and now that they're finally in the same room again, the full debrief is happening in real time. naturally, Justin Bieber's headlining set comes up, and the girls actually have a more nuanced take than most of the internet did, breaking down why his low-key, chill performance made complete sense for who he is as an artist… from there, the conversation turns to everything that blew up on the internet while they were living their lives, and there is a lot to unpack. the hayley beck situation is first on the docket, and if you haven't heard about it yet, buckle up, because the girls actually give you the full breakdown in this episode. the masters influencer discourse also gets its moment, specifically the backlash aimed at creators who attended, and why Halley and Jaz think most of the outrage completely missed the point of why those invites were extended in the first place. and then, as always, things take a personal turn as they share their recent updates: Halley is two days into invisalign and already has opinions: the lisp, the brackets, the adjustment period, and the fact that Reed got invisalign at the same time so now they're doing it together. Jaz, meanwhile, has been quietly avoiding the dentist because she's pretty sure one of her front teeth is dying and she does not want to know what comes next. it starts as a dental update but slowly turns into a full group therapy session about dentist trauma. there's also a f/m/k of instagram, tiktok, and youtube that gets surprisingly heated, Halley’s recurring déjà vu experiences that she is fully convinced mean something, and a tax day conversation that's funny and frustrating. another week, another episode, so much to unpack, like always.

    one of us now ft. Greta Louise Tomé

    this week on Delusional Diaries, the girls are joined by their new, but already very close, friend: Greta Louise Tomé. this episode has it all: they get into how they first met, the unexpected evolution of their friendship, and why being stuck together in Australia somehow fast-tracked them into “we’re basically family now” territory… but of course, that’s not all (as per usual)! naturally, the conversation takes a turn into relationships, career paths, and the reality behind the lives everyone thinks are perfect online. they talk dating a pilot (and whether that’s actually a red flag), getting married young, and the difference between choosing someone at 25 vs. 35. there’s also discussions about therapy vs. “I’ll just deal with it myself,” the concept of delusional confidence, and why the way you think about your life might actually be shaping it more than you realize. Oh, and the craziness you know & love? it is also very much present. we’re talking influencer secrets, iPhone camera conspiracies, random wellness debates, and a surprise reveal that no one saw coming. somewhere between serious life advice and absolutely unserious yapping sessions, the girls also get into how to actually meet people, stop giving closed-off energy, and romanticize your life a little more. it’s exactly what you’d expect: just three friends oversharing and somehow making it make sense.

    living online

    this week on Delusional Diaries, the girls dive straight into chaos as Jaz recounts a week-long internet spiral after a TikTok misunderstanding turned into full-blown drama. what started as an accidental follow and a harmless message quickly snowballed into viral screenshots, missing context, and millions of views, along with a wave of hate comments that seriously impacted her mental health. they unpack how quickly narratives can twist online, why being misunderstood hits harder than criticism, and the emotional toll of watching strangers decide who you are without the full story. from there, the conversation shifts into a broader discussion about navigating negativity as creators. they reflect on Reddit rabbit holes, the addictive cycle of reading comments, and the long-term impact of internalizing other people’s opinions. the girls get candid about anxiety, hormones, coping mechanisms, and learning to stop chasing universal approval. they also debate manifestation, self-perception, and how constantly trying to “fix” yourself based on criticism can dull your personality and make you lose sight of reality. of course, the episode balances vulnerability with classic “delusional diaries” energy. they talk about the “people hate you every day” mindset, breaking toxic habits, and why you’ll never win if you try to please everyone online. the conversation touches on performative activism, when to speak up versus amplify others, and the pressure creators feel to comment on everything. It’s messy, honest, and relatable: covering internet drama, mental health, growth, and the ongoing mission to stay confident (and a little delusional) in a world that’s always ready to misunderstand you.

    what brought us here

    this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are taking it all the way back to the early covid days, and realizing just how insane that era actually was. what started as a “two-week break” turned into a full identity crisis, and the girls unpack exactly where they were when everything shut down. from Halley barely surviving unpaid internships, college, and New York burnout, to Jaz thriving in her corporate era before getting abruptly pulled into HR for a literal covid exposure scandal, their origin stories are crazy, funny and life-altering. it’s the kind of hindsight that makes you go… wait, that actually changed everything. they get real about how losing their routines, jobs, and sense of normalcy forced them into completely different paths: ones that ultimately led them to where they are now, together in the studio. from getting laid off and spiraling into depression, to starting TikTok “as a joke” and accidentally building careers, they talk about the weird in-between phase of doing nothing, doing too much, and trying to figure out who you are when everything familiar disappears. it’s honest, relatable, reflective, and lowkey proof that sometimes your lowest point is actually the setup. of course, it wouldn’t be Delusional Diaries without the side quests. the episode spirals into thrift store hustles turned mini empires, fake designer accusations, high school party lore, and the kind of crazy teenage decisions that somehow make sense in retrospective. they discuss parenting topics & there’s also random debates, questionable choices, and a lot of “why were we like this?” energy. we’re sure that, you’ll find yourself in this episode, you’ll look back & reflect with the girls, and laugh just as much as they did… Timestamps 0:28 - 6 years since COVID  18:10 - What were we all doing during lockdown  21:06 - Golfing  24:25 - Going to court  26:40 - Sweet 16 and high school parties  48:18: - Lemme send a good PR package  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/ More of Halley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykate More of Jaz: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidk See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    the non-wedding wedding

    this week on delusional diaries, halley and jaz are all over the place in the best way, starting with losing their voices, random health spirals, and immediately getting irritated by the internet. from unsolicited outfit commentary to people creating problems out of thin air, they get into why being perceived online is a losing game, and why sometimes you just have to laugh and move on (or at least pretend to).  then it’s full-on life logistics mode as halley dives into planning her “not a wedding” wedding, and realizes it’s basically… a wedding. they break down everything from vendors and food to guest dynamics, timing stress, and the very real pressure of making sure everyone has a good time. it’s less about tradition and more about creating a night that actually feels fun, which somehow comes with its own level of chaos. meanwhile, home renovations, decor decisions, and spending spirals are in full swing, because apparently everything happens all at once. and because nothing stays normal for long, the episode takes a hard left: wild stories from the engagement party, lost luggage drama, matcha obsession updates, and a passionate rant about people who don’t pick up after their dogs. they also get into jewelry dilemmas, their blocks of the week, apartment decisions, and the tiny inconveniences that somehow take up your entire day. it’s unhinged, it’s relatable, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic life update you’d expect from your favorite duo.

    back from down under

    this week on delusional diaries, Halley and Jaz are finally back from their very long stay down under and debriefing everything that went down in Australia. what started as a brand trip quickly turned into a full-blown adventure when their flight home got unexpectedly canceled, leaving them stranded for a few extra days. what could’ve been a travel nightmare actually became a blessing in disguise: after days of packed schedules and filming content, they suddenly had time to slow down, explore, and actually enjoy the trip like normal humans instead of “working girls” on influencer duty. the girls get into the chaos of international travel delays, the oddly specific stress of canceled long-haul flights, and the bizarre feeling of manifesting something you joked about just hours earlier. they also talk about the unique dynamic of brand trips, where you sometimes meet people for the first time and immediately jump into the deepest level of friendship: traveling together. from bonding with greta and sydney to the strange intimacy of spending 11 straight days with people you barely knew before, they unpack how those trips can fast-track friendships in a way normal life never really does. of course, the episode is also a classic post-trip catch-up. they reflect on the surreal experience of living out something they talked about manifesting on the podcast, the difference between content trips and real vacations, and the small moments that ended up meaning the most once the cameras were off. between travel chaos, friendship lore, and the general delirium that comes from too many long flights and too little sleep, it’s a chaotic, reflective, and very delusional diaries kind of episode.  Timestamps  0:20 - Back from Australia  14:58 - Working on the Will 18:32 - Testing our knowledge  35:56 - Emojis, Reality TV, and Breakups  45:48 - In the name of a Birkin 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/ More of Halley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykate More of Jaz: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidk Links  Ollie: Ollie.
