In this episode, Joel and E keep it real and hilariously awkward as they unravel the mystery of how people show (or fail to show) romantic interest. From giggles over feet pics and Wisconsin dairy propaganda to dating psychology and the art of giving your number without looking like a weirdo, they touch on it all.

The duo gets into:

• Why Mondays suck and feet pics might be a hustle.
• Subtle signs of interest like eye contact, body language, and leaning in.
• Why giving your number is bold—but also confusing.
• How the apps give false confidence vs. real-world encounters.
• The truth about men: fragile egos, fear of rejection, and needing clear signals.
• How women might be better off being just a little more direct.
• Real-world flirting vs. app strategy.
• New merch ideas, podcast business cards, and the genius idea of setting up “You Single?” yard signs in the park.

They wrap with a challenge for everyone: ditch the gray zone, embrace rejection, and make the first move if you feel the vibe.
