Midlife Uncensored
Midlife Uncensored-Real Life Discussions from Over the Hillis the no-holds-barred podcast you didn’t know you needed. Hosted by Joel Poppert, aka Poppy—the friendly Sasquatch with an epic beard—and his fiery co-host, Emanuela Messineo, aka E, this show unapologetically dives into the chaos, comedy, and WTF moments of midlife. If you’re 35-55 and ready to embrace the rollercoaster of aging, this podcast is your new home base.
Poppy and E tackle everything from modern dating disasters in the hilarious sub-series The Love Laugh Lounge (the “festivus” of dating) to real-life shit like divorce, mental breakdowns, balding, sagging tits, and figuring out how to parent while still figuring yourself out and maybe dealing with an unhinged ex. With a blend of interview episodes and no-expert-needed banter (except when we bring on experts), these two cut through the BS and get real about midlife—no filters, no sugarcoating, just pure, unfiltered truth with a heavy dose of humor. Expect raw, relatable stories, unfiltered guidance, tough love, easy happiness, and a few episodes where the comedy comes from alcohol infused banter, because who give a fuck, right?
Whether you’re dealing with the joys of aging, trying to keep your sanity while raising kids, or attempting to find love in a sea of idiots, Midlife Uncensored has your back. Expect a few F-bombs, some belly laughs, and a whole lot of honesty as Poppy and E rip the band-aid off midlife and give you permission to thrive in this beautifully messy chapter. It's not just about surviving midlife—it's about unfucking it and owning it! This is your community; we are in it together!

The Love Laugh Lounge Takes on Dating Apps (Again)
Welcome back to The Love Laugh Lounge—the Festivus of Dating, where we air our grievances, roast our own love lives, and dish out completely unqualified advice.
In this episode, Poppy and E dive deep into the world of online dating—again—because let’s face it, the apps are the gift that keeps on giving… headaches. From Hinge's hidden inbox mysteries to the oddly specific clichés in women’s profiles (why does everyone love clean sheets and sushi?), we’re unpacking the weird, the frustrating, and the occasionally hilarious reality of modern dating.
We discuss:
- The art of the non-date first date (yes, coffee is fine, get over it).
- Why your dating profile probably needs a revamp.
- The real reason you’re getting ghosted (hint: it's not that deep).
- How dating apps have basically become another form of social media.
- And of course, the mandatory roasting of our own dating habits.
Oh, and we may or may not be scheming a completely absurd dating profile experiment just for fun.
So grab a drink, swipe responsibly, and join us for another round of unfiltered dating chaos.
