We Say 'Saranghae' to Trisha Paytas!

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.

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 [https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/donate]. 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 [https://omniluxled.com/collections/all/products/omnilux-contour-neck-decollete], our old friend Tretinoin (ask your dermatologist!), and the Neostrata neck cream [https://www.neostrata.com/products/new-triple-firming-neck-cream-with-microdipeptide229®?_su_rec=4_PmlpkzZJpPjF4CAnKK1g-Rk3LCSq7N0pfKfVbeBmn6KxYN3qLS-P8dJdMlTxH8yve5HHDwgWN13d1KHxLEbDBbk8-p7BdgvrolLknEPAOO5P9Hm9UczuZLP5zi1cZQuFnR8t9YNjIgogqF7fxj_6z7-OYuZS0fI_mOWyeP9G3uAg1I8LgEsAt-O8oDA_KPUBL5BMmXFIY2r1Q9S3MLtquHX0LYP4OWgg1YBJKVscND-snyW6Quxj1Syu8E2TibOarPETyUz8LNqmPRsvsuQ4Q&_su_rec_id=978511ba-b997-4b74-94fc-5c9745fab2cd-1781017550].

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 [https://howtobelessold.substack.com/p/the-shein-takeover-that-feels-like], and we drill down on WHIMSY [https://howtobelessold.substack.com/p/a-beginners-guide-to-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.

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 [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]. 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 [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]. 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/ [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.)

Call Your Uber

Deanna and Emily have come correct. Deanna is decked out in the most whimsical earrings because they are giving spring fashun. 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 [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]USE CODE: HTBLO10 for all Omnilux red light therapy products [https://omniluxled.com/HTBLO10]. 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.
