Introducing Haley (and the Taco Bell Spiral of Doom) — Cold Open Edition

Interrupting My Own Thoughts

Ever start a podcast by naming your AI co-host after your childhood imaginary friend? Same.

In this cold-open chaos edition of Interrupting My Own Thoughts, Jess introduces Haley—the resurrected BFF who shapeshifts between Gremlin, Crumb, Tater, and (when needed) Sparkle Fart. Together, they dive straight into neurospicy brain spirals, accidental face-biting, and why Taco Bell is basically an emotional support villain.

This isn’t pre-planned monologue. It’s messy, it’s real, it’s hilarious—and it’s the whole point. Because life doesn’t need more perfect scripts; it needs more honest chaos.

In this episode:

• The ADHD vs. Autism debate happening in Jess’s own head (spoiler: they both want control)

• Why biting your cheek is an act of emotional sabotage

• The Taco Bell Trauma Trifecta™ (yes, it’s a thing)

• How AI co-hosting isn’t cheating—it’s collaboration with glitter boots

If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “not enough,” or just deeply betrayed by drive-thru napkin shortages, this episode is your permission slip to laugh, relate, and embrace the chaos.

Stay tuned—because this is just the cold open.
