Smells Like Cottage Cheese & Freedom

New Pope, Met Gala Madness, and Why India & Pakistan Are the Original Real Housewives
Okay, let’s talk about it—because the pop culture calendar? Ate this week.We’ve got an American Pope straight outta Chicago. White smoke, new Pope, same drama. Vatican girlies, rise. We’re unpacking the papal conclave, the memes, the history, and why this is giving ‘Catholic Church enters its soft launch era.’Meanwhile, the Met Gala? BABE. I KNOW you were scrolling last night like, ‘what the hell is going on?’ Quick primer for the men and straight people listening: The Met Gala, formally the Costume Institute Benefit, has been around since 1948, but didn’t become the fashion Hunger Games we know and love until Anna Wintour turned it into her personal chess board.This year’s theme? Superfine: Tailoring Black Style—a tribute to Black dandyism. Translation: Zendaya served. Janelle Monae reinvented surrealism. Colman Domingo said “block the cameras, I’m the camera.” And the Desis? We WON. Shah Rukh Khan in Sabyasachi. Priyanka Chopra reminding you she’s a global icon. Diljit Dosanjh showing up in a turban, Prabal Gurung suit, and a SWORD. A literal sword. And Mona Patel? Brought a ROBOT DOG in Thom Browne. That’s the chaotic wealth energy I want for us.Also: Pahalgam? No, not a trendy new Pilates class. A terrorist attack that has India and Pakistan one bad tweet away from WWIII. We’re breaking down colonial trauma, water wars, and why India-Pakistan is the OG Real Housewives franchise: messy and generationally traumatic.And before we go? It’s pop culture, history, chaos, and cackles.

Sick, Spiraling, and Stalked in the Steam Room: A Plague Diary
Last week I told you I was sick. I had no idea that was just the prequel. This week? I’m recording from the depths of hell (aka my bed), 8 days into what I’m calling the medieval bucolic plague. I’m talking no sense of smell, no voice, no will to live. We’re spiraling, but we’re spiraling chic.In this unhinged episode, I unpack: 💀 Getting sick again post–San Miguel destination wedding 💀 The gala I barely survived (spoiler: Cipriani, Indian boomers, generational wealth energy) 💀 Why Wise Honey BBQ chips gave me an existential headache 💀 My ongoing rage toward my boomer dad for being Patient Zero 💀 How I discovered the vagus nerve and started humming, shaking, and cold-plunging like a hot mess wellness girlie 💀 And why one TikTok asking ‘is your brain a nice place to be?’ ruined my entire week.Also: I reveal my favorite croissant in NYC (you’re welcome), a shocking sauna encounter, and why I might need a chef, a therapist, or both.Basically, this episode is chaos, cough drops, and nervous system rewiring.Listen, laugh, Venmo me for therapy.”It’s comedy. It’s chaos. It’s coughing.Whether you’re sick in bed Googling “is this COVID or vibes,” or craving a Labubu for your Birkin—this episode is your emotional support blanket.” ✅ funny podcast for women ✅ sick podcast story ✅ funny wedding podcast ✅ NYC Cipriani gala ✅ relatable millennial podcast ✅ Wise honey BBQ chips ✅ viral TikTok podcast#FunnyPodcast #RelatableAF #GirlsWhoGetItGetIt #WeekendRecap #ComedyPodcast #DeluluGirls #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Weddings, Breakup Season and a Labubu
I have a sore throat, zero voice, and a lot to say. So yes, AI is narrating this episode while I sip tea and try not to lose it before my New York gala.This week, I’m spilling everything from my brother-in-law’s chaotic destination wedding in San Miguel de Allende (and my unhinged travel trauma), to why I’m still bitter I didn’t get my dream South of France wedding (justice for me, tbh).We’re talking cobblestone warfare, luxury delusion, and the psychological damage of growing up with a hypochondriac parent. Also: if you’ve seen a creepy little rat-doll hanging off someone’s Birkin—yes, I’m explaining Labubu. Yes, I want one.And just when you think we’re done? Welcome to Breakup Season—because apparently May is when people break up, buy linen, and rediscover their self-worth in the form of a Reformation dress and a delusional glow-up.It’s chaotic, it’s relatable, and it’s giving emotional support podcast.wedding drama, destination wedding rant, travel trauma, breakup season, butter yellow, Labubu, spring chaos, comedy podcast, millennial podcast, Gen Z podcast, Spotify trending, TikTok viral, funny podcast 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Butter Yellow and Chaos
In this week’s full-body spiral, we’re diving headfirst into the most unhinged (and enlightening?) color conspiracy of 2025: Butter Yellow. Why is it everywhere? Why do we all suddenly want to look like haunted Egg McMuffins? And who decided KitchenAid gets to control the color wheel? I call BS on quiet luxury dairy-core and unpack the actual psychology, fashion industry scam, and Pantone Illuminati behind your oat milk-coded closet.Then we cleanse. Literally. With a salt & vinegar chip therapy session that turns into an emotional breakdown about flavor, childhood trauma, and the return of Wise Honey BBQ Chips (yes, I manifested it). And finally, we descend into the bowels of hell—aka my colon cleanse—thanks to Chupa Panza tea, which smells like pineapple and purges like penance. You’ve been warned.Also:🥐 My White Lotus hot take (brown people run these resorts)🧂Why liking vinegar chips means you're brave🎨 And why butter yellow is the color of capitalist emotional gaslightingThis is your aesthetic warning label.Stay unhinged.

Tariffs, Teslas & Colonics: A Delulu Girl’s Guide to Global Collapse
This episode is a full-body cleanse—for your gut, your feed, and your faith in modern society. We’re diving into Trump’s new tariffs and the $3 trillion stock market wipeout, why American cars should come with trauma disclaimers, and how Tesla is basically your hot ex who ghosted and blames the moon.Also: I took 5 colon cleanse pills and had a spiritual awakening. We’re talking perimenopause, MCAS, Etsy witch spells, and why your FYP thinks you need to manifest a boyfriend.If anyone asks… I’m fine.💅 Rate, review, and sage your feed. Love you, mean it.Welcome back to the most unhinged, accidentally educational episode of the podcast yet—“Tariffs, Teslas & Colonics: A Delulu Girl’s Guide to Global Collapse.” Buckle up (in your emotionally unavailable American car), because this one is a full-body purge. I start this week’s episode where all iconic journeys begin: on the toilet, mid-colon cleanse, questioning every life choice. I took five colon detox pills because my gut is currently holding onto trauma, parasites, and probably a toxic situationship from 2019. From hip bursitis and arthritis to full-blown MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and perimenopause, we’re covering the chaotic medical bingo card that is my life. And yes, I have histamine intolerance, hormonal migraines, and I think a bacterium from my Eat Pray Love trip is still renting space in my large intestine. While my insides are evacuating, the global economy is doing the same. Let’s talk Trump’s new tariffs—because nothing says “Welcome to Q2” like a 10% universal import tax, a 54% tariff on Chinese goods, and a 25% tax on imported cars. Meanwhile, the stock market had a $3.1 trillion meltdown, the S&P dropped 4.8%, and tech bros are weeping into their standing desks. I break it all down, in language you’ll actually understand (and laugh at)—because if we’re going down, we’re doing it with a glass of overpriced kombucha and a sarcastic smirk.And now for the fun part: the Tesla takedown. Why is this car the gaslighting boyfriend of the auto industry? Why does it cost $80K but come with a touchscreen from 2014 and a steering wheel that ghosts you mid-lane? Why does the car try to self-drive into chaos while Elon tweets like an AI stuck in a breakup loop? I said what I said. If your Tesla is listening, I hope it cries.We also drag:🚗 American cars (aka Depression on wheels)💸 Etsy spells (“Make him text you” spells that somehow just make you bloated)📉 Your For You Page trying to sell you witchcraft to fix your love life🔮 The cult of manifestation TikTok (you’re not manifesting a soulmate, you’re manifesting IBS and confusion)🧠 Why the algorithm thinks I’m desperate (it’s not wrong, just rude)If you’ve ever cried in a car, screamed at a spell jar, or tried to balance hormones while reading about global trade, this episode is for you.This is not a wellness podcast. This is a capitalism cleanse with a comedy chaser. Come for the colon cleanse, stay for the collapse.✨ Rate, review, and don't forget to sage your DMs. ✨ Hosted on Acast.
