The Lo Life

On this Christmas Day episode of The Lo Life, Lo and Hayley unwrap your most unfiltered hot takes — the everyday annoyances that feel small until they absolutely are not.From Costco sample hoarders acting like it’s their last meal, to people riding your bumper in standstill traffic just to end up 15 feet ahead, to guests who show up unprepared and start cooking in your clean kitchen — nothing is off limits.The conversation spirals into modern etiquette (or the complete lack of it): gentle parenting gone too far, phones at green lights, speakerphone calls in public, rogue shopping carts, aggressive board-game energy, unsolicited group chats, loud chewing, fake urgency sales, influencer “RUNNNN” culture, AI videos, scam calls, and why not everything needs to be “protein-ized.”It’s funny, validating, slightly unhinged, and exactly what you need while hiding in the bathroom or going for a walk after Christmas dinner. Consider this your permission slip to feel sane again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The energy is chaotic in the best way. The vibe? Straight. No. Chaser.It’s unapologetic, a little unhinged, unexpectedly heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny—exactly why Lo Lifers keep coming back.So buckle up, press play, and get ready for a candid, hilarious, and deeply relatable conversation that proves sometimes the best therapy is telling the truth with your best friend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is a candid conversation about dating, self-worth, and the relationships that actually sustain us.

They talk about what it looks like to finally choose yourself — to raise your standards, set boundaries when needed, and step fully into your worth.A big part of that growth centers around friendship. Lo challenges the cultural obsession with romantic partnership and the idea that “low-maintenance” friendships are something to strive for. Instead, he highlights how meaningful, emotionally present friendships can provide a deeper sense of fulfillment and support than many romantic relationships ever will — and how our loneliness epidemic ties back to neglecting those bonds.This episode is a reminder that there isn’t one timeline or one definition of a full life. Whether you want marriage, kids, independence, or something entirely different, you are allowed to choose the life that fits you. It’s honest, warm, empowering — and a call to stop settling for crumbs in love and in community.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
