  #52: Cha Cha Sliding in Savannah (w/Stephanie Carolina)

  Sep 16, 202646 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail So Jay and Stephanie took the pod on location to Savannah, where the water is questionable, the ships are huge, and apparently everybody is haunted. Jay brought back the MySpace Top 8 and learned his Former Friend Group could NOT handle the rankings, Stephanie may have encountered a skinwalker, Jay had a ghost that possibly saved his life before moving out because his roommate failed the vibe check, and then Jay got trapped in a hotel elevator while everyone downstairs was doing the Cha Cha Slide. We also talked Pilates, peeing at Equinox, influencer fatigue, Shawty Bae, and why Jay’s next career move might be reviewing frozen TV dinners. And that’s what you missed on Dose of Delusion.

  #51: When The Internet Becomes The Jury (w/Stephanie Carolina)

  Aug 28, 20261h 5mS4

  Send us Fan Mail Jay and Stephanie start by discussing how the internet has completely lost the plot, which is exactly why they’re here. Jay recaps his post-work escape to New York City, where he finally gets compared to his lifelong hero, Erin Brockovich, accidentally buys a ponytail hat without the ponytail, converts Stephanie to steak tartare, and discovers that Fitzgerald may have found his true calling as a tiny purse dog. Then things spiral. Jay and Stephanie get into luxury bags that apparently can’t survive being used as actual bags, Target’s latest viral controversy, and the spectacular Lovesac versus Derek Cahill PR disaster. Jay decides he may need to apply for a job as “Mark from Marketing” and immediately starts fixing the entire situation. From there, a conversation about gifted education somehow turns into a conspiracy theory about whether the GATE program was secretly scouting children for three-letter government agencies. Jay was in GATE, so naturally, he decides this explains everything that has ever gone wrong in his life. Jay and Stephanie also discuss the new Dancing with the Stars cast, Stephanie commits an unforgivable act against Julia Stiles, Jay dives into his latest armchair-detective obsession, and the two of them discover that you can apparently buy a seat at a stranger’s wedding. It’s pop culture, conspiracy theories, corporate incompetence, questionable investigative journalism, and approximately 47 unnecessary side quests. Welcome to Dose of Delusion.

  #50: The Real Tea About Reality (w/Stephanie Carolina)

  Jul 12, 20261h 3mS4

  Send us Fan Mail Okay so Jay and Stephanie somehow start by complaining about surviving triple-digit Arizona heat before immediately taking a detour to Miami, where Stephanie explains how a bachelorette party ended up with strangers sending the bride thousands of dollars for drinks. Naturally, this leads to a debate about Miami 10s, Type A vacation planners, and whether anyone actually enjoys planning group trips. From there, things completely derail. Jay defends his decision to permanently move his birthday to the summer, admits he once made all of his friends go around a table and say something nice about him, and shares why airline passengers who sleep in aisle seats deserve to be investigated. Then the conspiracy theories begin. The two dive headfirst into reality TV, exposing how producers stitch together confessionals, feed cast members iconic one-liners, and manipulate storylines, all while breaking down the newest Real Housewives obsession and asking whether any reality show is actually... reality. As if that wasn't enough, they somehow end up talking about cheating scandals, friendship loyalty, fake apartments, second families, the outrageous price of Subway sandwiches, and why absolutely nothing feels real anymore. It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and somehow every tangent makes perfect sense... until it doesn't.

  #47: Style, Status & a Little Self-Delusion (w/guest host: Stephanie Lopez)

  Apr 10, 202643 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail Okay so Jay finally has an in-person guest (Stephanie) and within seconds they go from cute boys to a full breakdown of “designer delusion” - aka thinking a Lululemon outfit will fix your life all while Jay casually admits he ordered multiple Fashion Nova packages to the wrong addresses and just accepted his fate... Then Steph counters with “I didn’t shop for 4.5 years” (shade), so now we’re talking confidence, body changes, and “if you look good you feel good” Then SOMEHOW (eyeroll) they derail into 90s fashion, JFK Love Story, hot actors, and why everyone has the same iPhone face. ..and all of a sudden it’s an adulting episode (like...what??): deep freezer, Costco executive membership, buying a house, financial stress. But then they finally end on AI chaos, lazy coworkers, and somehow… six-finger crime rings. This episode is delusional chaos and it works.

  #46: Gay, Straight, and Completely Missing the Point (w/Guest host Max Van Woensel)

  Apr 3, 202644 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail Okay so Jay brings on his straight, suspiciously too good of an ally friend Max, and what starts as a chill convo turns into a full-on identity unpacking spiral. They argue about Heated Rivalry. Max says it’s basically gay porn with a weak plot, and Jay’s like… no babe, that’s trauma, repression, and lived experience. Then suddenly we’re deep in the trenches talking about being closeted, dating someone who won’t claim you, and the emotional DAMAGE of being loved privately but hidden publicly. Max tries to understand the gay experience in real time (honestly, gold star for effort), they get into internalized homophobia, growing up in different cultures, and why some people take 25 years, a marriage, and two kids to realize they’re gay. Then it pivots into identity vs personality, gay mannerisms, and whether being “visibly gay” is authentic or something we learn. Light existential crisis, casual evening chat.
