🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: The AI Comparison Trap — Perfection, Fantasy & Aging in a Filtered World
Host: Diane Gilman
Diane breaks down the new reality of aging in a world saturated with AI-generated images, perfect filters, and “fantasy” bodies. Is it inspiring, toxic, or just impossible to ignore? From red carpet deepfakes to fashion industry faux models, she gets honest about the emotional cost, the rise of synthetic “ageless” beauty, and how older women can defend their self-worth and style—even when every scroll feels like an invitation to shame.
What You’ll Hear:
- How hyper-realistic, AI-powered beauty (like Tilly Norwood and Xania Monet) is driving impossible standards—even as the line between real and fake vanishes
- Why major brands (Levi’s, H&M, Nike) are using AI models, and what this means for “authentic” body positivity
- Why comparing ourselves to synthetic perfection is a trap—and how to spot (and fight) ageism and body dysmorphia amplified by new tech
- The hidden impact on older women: shrinking representation, bought perfection, and the danger of internalizing fantasy
- Practical ways to make peace with “imperfect” beauty, take AI images as inspiration (not shame), and reclaim confidence in a world built for comparison

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
