In this episode, Joe and Ethan talk with retired soldier and author Kenny Dupar about his wild journey from combat in Iraq to writing romance novels.
Kenny shares what dating was really like during COVID lockdowns: from meeting on a dating app and wearing women’s underwear as a mask to the sheer absurdity of trying to build a relationship while the world shut down. He also opens up about divorce, family, trauma, and how humor helped him process it all.
Expect lots of laughs, raw stories, and classic Kenny energy as they discuss pin-up dolls, muscle cars, lockdown romance, and why “COVID as the villain” made for such a unique love story.
