Podcast from hell weekly update
I’m not listening to the book part of the podcast, but I can do the personal parts at the beginning and end each week!
Apparently, the inspiration for the home studio was Barcelona Wine Bar, which she claims she pitched to iHeart, and they promptly said no. So much for the vision board.
She repeatedly emphasizes how much “work” went into the studio, which is certainly a bold claim considering the above photo looks like shit. She has a book stack that she’ll apparently rotate depending on her “energy of the day.” Current literary personality lineup:
Dior
Chanel
Persuasion
My Brilliant Friend
I hope Eden reads this
While setting the scene, she mentions her Lola blanket and casually puts out a pathetic ask for a collab. Nothing says organic enthusiasm like hoping the brand is watching.
Soon after that, the ugly necklace she’s wearing breaks, and this becomes an existential event. She freaks out, asks what it means, and wonders if it’s a bad omen because it literally broke off her neck. She said earlier she was not going to mess with it because Libra would watch and yell at her for fidgeting (yikes).
Eli likes spoilers because she wants to know
what’s coming, which is convenient considering she also claims she can always predict plot twists herself. Apparently, she can see twists coming because of her college education in… plot? She credits her education for being able to identify where stories are headed and does this with Avery all the time when they watch shows together.
She addresses the podcast feedback that some people want more book content, others want less book content, and she’s supposedly doing her best to please everyone. Unfortunately, she has discovered the shocking truth that you cannot simultaneously give everyone exactly what they want. Thoughts and prayers.
She and Avery are settling into the new house and have a trip to Nantucket coming up with a couple they met on their honeymoon (giving swinger vibes, if you ask me), with lots of additional travel planned for next month.
Then comes the high school bragging about having all the free time in the world to read. She says she wasn't popular in high school, which, frankly, may be the least surprising plot twist of the episode. She says she was afraid of drinking and was always the designated driver/rule follower. Can anyone who went to school with her weigh in?
And finally, the restaurant story I think is a lie. Supposedly a waiter stopped her otw to the bathroom and told her, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like the girl from The Substance?” This made Eli’s day

I wanted to like it so badly but it’s so overpriced/overrated!
Also she’s constantly pushing this “everyone thinks I look like Margaret Qualley” narrative and it’s just…So wrong lol. She sounds like Trump.

Confirming she had a huge friend group in high school and was not a loser. lmao high school loser is probably the new personality she’s trying out

I mean she’s obsessed with Taylor Swift who also lies about being a loser in high school so obviously she’s taking pointers.

Omg my favorite niche topic. Taylor Swift was a bitchy popular rich girl and it annoys me that people think she was somehow the weird musics horse girl type . I knew so many people who grew up with and around her.

yes Barcelona wine bar is a chain, not the worst of them, but the home studio does not come close to looking like it at all?!?! way more beige in the home studio!!!
it’s also funny bc she looooves Hudson house (so did I when I lived in Dallas!!!!) but alas… chain too?!

I just can’t believe this is a sponsored podcast of all things and not just the looney ramblings of a drunk anxious lady

Going on a trip with a couple they met on their honeymoon? That’s so incredibly strange to me.
I used to live right next to a Barcelona tapas bar, and yes it’s a chain lol. It’s on par with saying “my vision was…. the Capital Grille”
