A No-BS Podcast About the Single Life After 30
Welcome to You Single?—the podcast for those of us navigating singlehood in our 30s, 40s, and beyond. Hosted by your favorite friendly Sasquatch, Joel Poppert, and the fiery and fabulous Emanuela Messineo (aka “E”), this show is for anyone who’s ever swiped left, been ghosted (or done the ghosting), and questioned whether dating apps are completely broken.
We’re here to talk about the reality of single life as grown-ass adults. Dating? Sure. But also, the joys (and occasional disasters) of being unattached. From cringey first dates to the freedom of doing whatever the hell you want, we cover it all—unfiltered, unscripted, and fully embracing our middle-aged dorkiness.
Expect hilarious rants, real talk, and the occasional deep dive into why the fuck it’s so hard to meet people these days. Whether you’re actively dating, happily single, or just vibing in between, You Single? is your place to laugh, commiserate, and own this chapter of your life.
💥 Bonus Content: Midlife Uncensored 💥
For when we’re not talking about dating, we bring you Midlife Uncensored—a no-holds-barred sub-series where we rip the band-aid off midlife. From career shifts and parenting chaos to reinventing ourselves (or just trying to survive the day), this is where we get real about the highs, lows, and WTF moments of getting older. No filters, no sugarcoating—just raw, relatable stories and plenty of humor.
So, are you single? Let’s mingle. And if you’re just here to laugh at the absurdity of midlife—well, we’ve got that covered too.

The Conversations that Divide Us: Egos, Politics, Religion, Gender Roles
Welcome to episode 49 of Midlife Uncensored! We’re nearly a year into this wild ride, and for this episode, we’re bringing back one of our favorite guests, Uche, for a no-filter conversation that started with the male ego… but went off the rails and way deeper than any of us expected.
We dive into everything from the shifting dynamics between men and women, the confusion around traditional roles, the impact of social media on relationships, and the ripple effects of ego—both fragile and inflated. We touch on dating, chivalry, modern masculinity, and how society's extremes are pushing men and women further apart. Of course, it wouldn’t be Midlife Uncensored without some hilarious detours into booty hole maintenance, political rants and to top it off a discussion about religion.
This one’s raw, real, and packed with the kind of unfiltered truth that makes Midlife Uncensored what it is. So grab a drink, brace yourself, and jump into this epic discussion that might just challenge the way you think about relationships, respect, and the fine line between confidence and arrogance. We certainly went off the rails in this episode and enjoyed every minute of it!
