Deanna and Emily discuss the branding of the new “Karen” aka the millennial Jessica. Who is she? What does she wear? We Initially thought Jessica was randomly appointed, but this has been a very long new Karen name vetting process. Gen Z felt that the name Karen didn’t speak to them! In other generation divide news, we get into how Timothee Chalamet thanked Kylie at the Critics Choice awards and referred to her as his partner. Apparently, this was a big moment for the youths, and a big nothing burger for us olds. Emily also shares about tooth masking with nHA toothpaste, despite her dentist friend saying that its all hype. Deanna and Emily are prepared to take on the scientific research involved. NIRA LASER CODE: HTBLO for 10% off the incredible at home laser. Say Goodbye To Wrinkles With The At-Home Laser To Treat Wrinkles Around The Eyes + Mouth. And we get into the Ashley Tisdale mom group drama. Ashley was feeling left out — and instead of maybe addressing the group or chatting with her therapist, she took her story to a little known rag called New York Magazine. Was that a total Jessica move? Also, Emily shares that she heard Ashely had different political beliefs than some of the moms in the group — but since this recording has learned that might have been also a nothing burger. As for our friend who has worked with this mom group - she said Hill Duff is a queen worthy of all of our love. We will definitely take that with us on our journey forward. And, we talk about the trend of posting pics from 2016 — and some of our more absurd 2016 pics, like the one we used as the thumbnail for this post! And reminder — check your shredded Pecorino Romano! We hope you enjoy this episode. xoDeanna and Emily P.S. Don’t be afraid to head over to Apple podcasts and give us a review! (5 stars, duh!)

Full video unlocked to all our subscribers as a little gift from HTBLO. Wishing you cozy, happy and safe holidays! Deanna and Emily discuss Yondr pouches for cell phones. Used by school districts to make kids phones inaccessible to them during the day, this pouch supposedly puts their digital life on lock. But — the kids know how to hack it! Because of course they do! EMERGENCY VIRTUAL COZY FIREPLACE UPDATE! 🔥In last week’s post we provided you with a link to a subpar virtual cozy fireplace. Not one, but TWO superior YouTube fireplaces have entered the chat.Thank you Jason Micallef for doing the lord’s work and setting us straight. And this link will take you to a cozy winter in Paris. We also get into the Gwyneth Paltrow’s brand Goop! Apparently she’s been with us for 17 years — and she’s not profitable?! Was the aspirational clean lifestyle ever attainable? We don’t know. But we definitely try and noodle on why. Plus, we dive into Teen Vogue’s 50 best dressed of 2025 list, which covers a range of celebrities all 21-years-old or younger. What at first feels like a gift from the heavens, slowly becomes a shock to the system when we realize we only knowing a scant handful of these famous youths. Plus, who is that guy in the middle in the white v-neck sweater? Is he doing it for you? Not sure he’s Vogue top photo worthy in our books, but to each their own! Deanna wandered her way over to Truth Social and has come to report back what she found. Anyone else surprised at that ReTruths number? Seems tiny hands level small. Also, the Oscars are going to YouTube in 2029, which brings up two important questions: 1) Will the Oscars be behind a paywall? and 2) How is it almost 2030? That’s giving some sci-fi realness. We also unpack our frustration with streaming platforms. When will someone get all of our streaming platforms organized in a way that brings us back to content we forgot about!
