Dick, Dates & Difficult Conversations: The Realities of Modern Dating

In this episode, host Savannah Burks sits down with Tropic Lounge owner Hyacinth and Five Corner Fish Market owner Ken to talk all things dating, from entrepreneur lifestyles to communication issues, sex expectations, relationship boundaries, and what it really takes to connect with someone in 2026.

We also dive deep into the upcoming “Bid Me Baby” Bachelor & Bachelorette Auction hosted at Tropic, benefiting the Milwaukee‑based nonprofit Lupus Has No Face. This is a community event with purpose, raising awareness, building connection, and creating a space where authentic relationships and vulnerable discussions can flourish.

Expect a LOT of laughs, real talk about dating struggles, sex drive debates, why communication really fails, navigating relationships with chronic illness, and what makes someone a true “catch.” This is one of the most entertaining, unfiltered, and honest conversations we’ve had yet.
