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!

Ditch the Apps & Break a Sweat: Dating IRL with Two Birds Fit's Karen Richards
Forget awkward small talk and endless swiping—what if finding love was as easy as working out in the park or running into someone (literally) at the grocery store? This week, Poppy and E sit down with Karen Richards, the mastermind behind Two Birds Fit, a unique speed-dating-meets-fitness community in Denver.
From speed-dating walks to singles mixers, Karen shares how her passion for fitness, matchmaking, and social connection led to a movement that’s getting people off the apps and into real-life connections. They talk about the challenges of balancing gender ratios, the surprising success stories, and why every man in Denver needs to sign up, particularly the 50+ crowd.
Poppy, E, and Karen also brainstorm the ultimate way to recruit singles—by running around town yelling, “Are you single?” (We’re serious. This is happening.) Plus, the gang dives into the psychology of attraction, grocery store dating strategies, and whether Joel should just start wearing his gold tracksuit everywhere.
If you’re over dating apps and ready to meet someone in the real world, this episode is your sign!
