    Beeper Nostalgia & Pop-Ups with a Purpose

    Hello, lovers! We’re back in your ears and eyeballs with one mission: keeping you less old and more in-the-know! On today’s pod, we dive into the Phoebe Bridgers’ pop-up concert series, share an update on our Poshmark and Depop adventures, unpack the rise of tech neck, and, of course, Emily keeps us fully briefed on Amanda Ungaro and her connections to the Trumps. NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles! The NIRA laser is FDA approved and made in the 🇺🇸 Phoebe Bridgers, of boygenius fame, has been sprinkling pop-up shows across the country with astronomically low ticket prices all benefiting the Community Justice Exchange’s Immigration Bond Freedom Fund - donate here. We love to see it! We also update each other on our Poshmark/Depop journeys and compare notes on the booming world of P2P (peer-to-peer) marketplaces. You can call them online resale platforms but P2P is much cuter! We reflect on our beeper days and try to remember how those suckers even functioned! Did you have beeper? Please share your beeper memories with us in the comments! Emily also keeps us apprised of Melania Trump’s former bestie Amanda Ungaro and the piping-hot tea she’s been spilling across various platforms. Amanda, keep it coming and please stay safe. Finally, we discuss tech neck, a phenomenon the younger generation is battling that was never on our radar back in the day. We share a few ideas for tackling those pesky neck lines, including the Omnilux Contour Neck & Décolleté, our old friend Tretinoin (ask your dermatologist!), and the Neostrata neck cream. It’s currently sold out on the company’s website but can still be found elsewhere online. It’s on sale here but warning we’ve never ordered from this site before. Thanks for listening!

    We Say 'Saranghae' to Trisha Paytas!

    In today’s episode of How to Be Less Old, we get into mukbang queen Trisha Paytas’ new K-Pop song, the ponytail getting an unnecessary rebrand, we say a big ole WTF to Everlane, and we drill down on WHIMSY, which is having a real moment. Plus, Deanna made a middle of the night instagram purchase! Get ready cause some Slang-O-Matic generational translator content is coming your way. NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles! The NIRA laser is FDA approved and made in the USA 🇺🇸 Plus, Emily shares that she’s 99.99% sure she got scammed by a site trying to buy her niece a Supreme hoodie for her birthday. And Deanna saved the cutest dogs life! Here’s proof. Plus, Emily is waging war with her neighbor, hopefully in a very whimsical way. Open to suggestions in the comments below! (But seriously, he blocked my entire driveway with my full trash and recycling cans to fit his big ole truck in. Super cool.) After you listen to this episode, please enjoy the dulcet tones of Trisha Paytas and her new song ‘Saranghae,’ which means I love you in Korean. And we do love Trisha.

    We’re Scheduling Texts Now

    This week on the stack we kick things off with a very helpful hint from our pal Amy Phillips: scheduling texts! If you wake up in the middle of the night with a thought that absolutely must get to someone, but preferably not at 2:14am, you can schedule a text. We’ve long been scheduling emails, but somehow this feature completely escaped us. We’ve already used it several times since recording and it’s kind of perfect. The second you remember someone’s birthday? Schedule it. As Emily wisely said: simply having the thought does not count. OMNILUX USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products. Boost your collagen and your glow🌟 We dive deeper into the Alix v. Alex saga. Will Alex Cooper regret publicly calling Earle out onto the streets? Will the Vanity Fair article that’s brewing take down the Unwell operations? As always, we’d like to prioritize the Epstein file arrests. Frankly, everything else should be standing quietly behind the files 🗂️ And finally: matching workout sets are entering the same danger zone as no-show socks. Toss on an old sweatshirt, a tattered tee and head to your Pilates class. That’s where the culture is headed. Gen Z seems to have a handle on the dollar and for that we gotta tip the ol’ hat.

    Alpine Divorce - Men Will Really Avoid Therapy at ALL Costs

    Deanna and Emily discuss all the ways they felt old and young this past week. It’s a journey! OMNILUX USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products. Boost your collagen and your glow🌟 Mother’s Day is coming up! We discuss a first hand account of a 16-year-old’s experience at Coachella. Emma shares her learnings and great outfits from hitting the desert festival. The tip that really resonates with us was to put band-aids on your feet. But we might take that a step further and say skip the adorable footwear for a nice pair of sneakers! Comfort over fashion? Now, that’s just plain smart. And as mentioned — here is the post where desert retirees cheer on the youths as they walk into Coachella! Plus, we get into “Alpine divorce,” a trending social media term describing a scenario where one partner abandons the other on a hike or outdoor adventure, often leaving them to navigate back alone. If you are dating someone, or married to someone, and things are not going well -- perhaps pack an emergency bag before agreeing to a treacherous climb. Grab a friend to join? Orrrr, maybe opt for a movie instead! Sort of makes us think of this event that happened over the weekend. We’re hoping Cheryl received the message. She was left for dead on top of that mountain: We dive back into Melania. Less than a week after her surprise press conference, her acquaintance - truly, couldn’t be more of a breezy casual thing - Ghislaine Maxwell mailed a thumb drive to the U.S. Attorney of the Southern district of NY. What’s on the thumb drive? Probably just some light reading, maybe her fav NYT recipes? Definitely NOT anything to do with Melania. Why would there be? They barely knew each other, you silly goose! Plus, Melania’s friend Amanda Ungaro recently gave an interview that sheds more light on her relationship with the Trump’s and the power at play behind the scenes. https://epsteincoverup.us/report/the-woman-who-knows-too-much-an-ungaro/ Plus, we get into the term you the birthday! The compliment AND the insult. Yous are the birthday! Deanna and Emily PS Deanna here — I know my hair looks wild. This will not happen again (or it won’t happen this strangely again.)

Emily is sporting a zig-zag headband inspired by Gillian Anderson’s catwalk during Paris Fashion Week. We hope you bring your A-game today, too! OMNILUX USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products. Boost your collagen and your glow🌟 We dive into how a bartender recently sent Emily a drink at the bar, mkay! And how Deanna got to watch the youth in the wild at a vintage market, where embellishment equals clothing. Sheer, ornamental and leaving nary a thing to the old imagination. Otherwise known as “festival ready.” Plus, we dive into Melania’s shocking press conference last week, which left us confused and dedicated to finding all the answers. Why now? Oh, we see you Melania. Plus! We breakdown the Coachella lineup. In fairness we only talk about the bands we know, but lord knows there are more in that lineup that we do not know. Here are few for funsies: * Blondshell * TEED * Nine Inch Noize * Glitterer * Panda and Chok * Genesi * AZZECA * Le Yora * Jazzy (lol) Plus, we cover the term “call your uber” and talk about BuzzBallz.

    We Old: Deanna's Fall + Emily’s Frozen Middle Finger🖕🏻

    Deanna shares the story of a fall that aged her a good 25 years! She “took air” and when she says she dented the trash can, she did NOT lie. After seeing this picture, it’s clear she’s lucky to be alive! Emily also feels old due to aching joints and a frozen middle finger. Take that WORLD. We discuss going 90s, the art of hanging out with others without your phone. Wild thought - leave it at home! Also, how did we survive those dirty, dirty pay phones in a world before hand sanitizer? That was the only way to get a ride back home from the mall. Are we stronger for it? We also get into the warning signs a man in your life is being indoctrinated into the sphere of mano. Here are some key things to know. * It starts slow and then builds * You might start to hear an odd comment here and there, usually presented as a joke - and then it stops being a joke * Negging, and trying to control you So if someone in your life starts to raise a couple red flags for you, its time for an all out intervention and review of their YouTube watch history. We are all in this together. Stay safe out there, ladies. Deanna raises an alarming concern that the post office might be going the way of the do-do bird. Maybe in honor of going 90s, pick up an old pen and paper and send a friend a good old fashioned letter or postcard this weekend. There’s nothing more thrilling than getting some unexpected snail mail. We also discuss an update about our pal Clavicular, who was recently arrested for battery charges in Ft. Lauderdale. From page six: An unnamed 19-year-old woman told deputies she had allegedly been battered by Violet Marie Lentz, 24. However, detectives determined that Clavicular “instigated the fight” and “posted it on social media to exploit the two women,” per the press release. He is also under investigation for a separate incident involving his alleged shooting of a dead alligator in the Everglades. Cool, cool, cool.

    Are You Lowkenuinely Smashing That Insta Repost 🔁 Button ?

    Deanna and Emily attempted to take “lowkenuinely” (pronounced Loh-KEN-yuh-win-lee) and “lowkentologicalowstate” (pronounced low-ken-toe-LOG-ih-kuhl-oh-state) out for a spin. They certainly had a better handle on “lowkenuinely” which — quick refresh — means being genuinely lowkey. What does being genuinely lowkey look like? Well, you are giving something your attention but in a lowkey fashion. Deanna was lowkenuinely looking to improve the lines on her chest so she did her research to find solutions but didn’t let it take over her life or ding her self-esteem. They also break down the power of the instagram repost 🔁: who actually receives it? Where does it go? Hard to say. But one thing is certain, tapping those sexy, mid-coital arrows allows them to wield their influence and flex a quiet power. As you’re doomscrolling - please be on the lookout for their little profile heads twirling and swirling at the bottom of a post. NIRA has just dropped the NIRA PRO 3. Here’s what’s new: silent vibration haptic feedback * 9-power levels * 75% more battery and faster charging! Get your NIRA Laser Here add CODE: HTBLO at checkout. No big deal but Emily has found herself on trend with Paris fashion week. What else is cooking at Paris fashion week? Seems beach braids, low slug-hairdos, check prints, faux fur and funky silhouettes are all the rage. Oh! And this was the peptide stack Emily’s co-worker is working with: BBC 157 tb 500 Copper GHKUCU Mot C …. if you have a peptide stack you better share it immediately.

    We Got Frame-Mogged by a Business Insider Journalist

    We thought we were tapped into the broad strokes of looksmaxxing, but when we invited Business Insider Sr. Correspondent Katie Notopoulos to join us for a casual chat, we realized quickly we had been frame-mogged. Brutally. (And yes, we go into what that means.) NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles! The NIRA laser is FDA approved + made in the USA 🇺🇸 Katie breaks down what clippers are, why looksmaxxer Clavicular is suddenly everywhere and why his ‘lexicon’ is great for clippers. She breaks down some of the important terms that come out of this manosphere/looksmaxxing world like jestermaxxing, jestergooning, and foids. Plus, we learn more about why streaming is gaining in popularity and how there’s a big business behind “going viral.” We are so grateful to Katie for holding our hand on this wild ride.
