The show

Kylen is 33. He lives in a shed on his dad's property, gets most of his news from YouTube, plays video games until 3am, and somehow still wants a wife, a family, a house, and a completely different life.

Kenda is a Gen X mom of three, entrepreneur, mentor, and apparently qualified to give life advice.

Kylen and Kenda is an unfiltered conversation about the generational divide, masculinity, money, dating, and the manosphere, and why so many people know the life they want but can't figure out how to build it.

Sometimes they agree. Often they don't. No scripts, no life-coach voice, and neither of them is sure it's working.

Meet the hosts: Kylen and Kenda.
