I Know I Sound Crazy

Welcome to season two of I Know I Sound Crazy! I'm back from my sabbatical and feeling better than ever. Join me, your host, Ashelyn Galloway, and your sometimes host, Nicole Self, as we dive deeper into our journey of deconstructing faith. We’re back to yap about our past as devoted Christians and what that means for our beliefs today. We touch on the many inconsistencies we're still finding across the religion, the No True Scotsman fallacy, and the particularly fascinating phenomenon of virgin births across cultures (Spoiler: Jesus is not the only religious figure to be born of a virgin birth. Who knew?).Nicole also speaks candidly about the other side of grief, two years out from tragedy, which we hope will resonate with anyone seeking solace and understanding.Whether you’re questioning your own beliefs, or just curious about the deconstruction process, this episode is for you. So say a prayer, or light your sage,  and join us for a good yap session. Welcome back!!

Back at it again with the one and only Jacob Street! Ya'll like him too much and it's giving him a big head. We start with an update on the Liberty University scandal, and add more commentary, because apparently after 3 full episodes on it, we still have more to say. We give some life updates and manifestation inspiration, as well as a much needed hot take, and then we crack open the White Claws and get into our Midnights review. Basically, I will stop believing she loved Karlie when she stops writing songs that imply it.  Also, justice for Lana.  

Two besties who got caught innocently kissing at a concert, or a secret relationship covered up by the media's (unfair) narrative of Taylor being boy crazy? If we're allowed to do all this speculation about Jake and that damn scarf, why can't I ask the hard questions? Like who is Dress really about? This Kaylor deep dive features Jacob Street; my bestie, my very first podcast guest, and an expert on the gays. Are you ready for it?

DISCLAIMER:  Those audio gaps are not your phone or your car speaker cutting out. It's my editing. There are two,  so use them to open some loud and crunchy snacks or start the dishwasher. I'm spilling the tea on celebrity PR relationships.  From Taylor Swift's carefully crafted image, to the rise of her now ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn's career, to the thirstiest celebrities in Hollywood, we're breaking down the art of managing a celebrity's public persona. Join me as we explore the highs and lows of some of the most talked-about PR relationships in Hollywood, the main reasons I think PR relationships happen, and my tips on how to spot a fake relationship.

Whenever I need to talk spirituality, I call my friend Nicole. She joins me on the podcast this week, 9ish months after our last deconstruction episode, to discuss life and death, the possibility of reincarnation, and what death and fear of god look like being on the other side of a tragedy. It's a deeply personal and vulnerable episode, so this one goes out to all the enneagram 4 girls (and boys). 

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts...." -William ShakespeareYou know how we've all been having a collective awakening for the last 3 years? Yeah, that isn't an accident. Once you realize most of what we see is scripted and/or fake, it really helps you chill the fuck out. The matrix is finally falling. We aren't falling with it. Def my craziest episode yet, but you know, that's kinda my whole vibe. 

In my opinion, everything from her birthday was fabricated to make her look bad, so we are diving into the timeline from that night, along with that crazy story about her being at Nobu . Also, for the love of God, can we please stop giving Perez Hilton attention? 

Hello and welcome back! Today is a more light hearted episode, as I think I'm speaking for all of us when I say I have Britney fatigue. Instead, I tell you some conspiracy theories that I don't believe for a change, I call out T Swift for some things that weren't handled well, we have a brief pop culture recap and a pop culture prediction, and then we get into my very favorite topic: manifestation. Some of ya'll need a pep talk. That's where I come in. Suspend your disbelief and get ready to consciously create your reality. 

Britney isn't free. If you believe she is, you’re not paying attention. 

The long awaited episode on 90's princess and dancing queen, Ms. Britney Jean Spears. I'm not going to waste your time covering topics that are discussed in the documentaries and tv specials made about her. You already know about her parents and her sister. You already know about her conservatorship. All I'm interested in talking about is the same thing I've been talking incessantly about for the last two years: Britney isn't free.
