Why do some conversations feel effortless — while others fall flat even when you said nothing wrong?
AJ and Johnny break down the neuroscience of “clicking,” including a 2022 PNAS study showing that connection often comes down to milliseconds. The secret isn’t better stories or smarter answers — it’s timing. Shorter response gaps signal attunement, alignment, and shared rhythm. Longer gaps quietly erode chemistry.
If you’ve ever felt “off” despite saying the right things, this episode explains why — and how timing becomes social body language.
00:00 – The gap you can feel
01:00 – Why chemistry isn’t personality
02:00 – The PNAS timing study
03:15 – Same words, different timing
04:15 – Why rhythm equals connection
