Show Notes
This week, Halley and Jaz are back behind the mic, but they’re not alone. If you’ve been rocking with Delusional Diaries since the early days, you already know her (and probably love her). And if you don’t… allow us to introduce: Eli Rallo. Writer, content creator, podcast host, professional rule-maker, and queen of saying exactly what we’re all thinking. Eli first blew up on TikTok with her iconic “the jarr” videos, and since then she’s built a ride-or-die community obsessed with her mix of humor, honesty, and that big sister who tells it like it is energy. Oh, and casual flex, she’s already the author of two books with a third on the way. From reminiscing about their “freshman class” days in the New York influencer scene to catching up on weddings, book tours, and everything in between, this episode feels like a full-circle moment. The trio dives into the realities of growing up online, from cringing at old videos to learning to feel confident in your late 20s. They also swap stories about early event-hopping nights, the evolution of their careers, and the misconceptions people have about friendship changes. Of course, there’s plenty of wedding talk, Taylor Swift engagement theories, and the sacred art of being perfectly “wedding drunk.” Eli opens up about writing her second book, the emotional process behind it, and the exciting leap into fiction with her upcoming third. It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, laughter, and honesty, proof that every era of life brings its own kind of magic. If you missed her, it’s time to catch up. If you’re new, you’re about to fall in love. Either way — this episode is one for the books.

More from Delusional Diaries
after four years of never missing a Thursday, Halley and Jaz are taking their first ever summer break… and honestly, this episode feels exactly like hanging out with them one last time before everyone disappears for the season. Halley's Hampton's house is finally done, her she-shed is getting turned into a backyard bar (Reed wants to call it Bar Dog, which makes complete sense), and she had a bridal hair trial where she basically had to beg her stylist to make her look messier. all very Halley Kate Core.
this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back, but they’re not alone. Greta is also back behind the mic after all the love the first time around… but this time, they're still riding the high from their trip to Korea and Tokyo with enough stories, inside jokes, and energy to prove they absolutely should have started podcasting from abroad. from salmon sperm eye treatments that may or may not have done anything, to hand-sculpted Korean nail charms that sparked stranger conversations back home than any engagement ring ever could; this episode kicks off exactly how a good episode should: zero filter, zero agenda, and covering everything.
this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are fully entering their summer era, and with that comes a lot of opinions. from Solidcore drama and influencer gym etiquette to the devastating loss of Cava’s tahini caesar dressing, the girls navigate through the internet discourse that becomes way too personal, a bit too quickly. between marathon training updates from Reed and Kevin, sauna purchases, Hamptons nesting, and debates about post-run meals, the episode is basically one long chaotic life update in the best way possible.
this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are fresh off their Asia trip and immediately back in their element, debriefing everything from chaotic weather mood swings in New York to the reality of traveling on your period (spoiler: humbling). it starts as a light catch-up and quickly turns into a very unfiltered deep dive into period horror stories, tampon trauma, and the ongoing birth control debate, where they get honest about their own experiences, the internet’s fear-mongering, and why you really have to figure out what works for your own body.
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!
