  • Good Enough Parenting, Gen Z Ghosting, Super Bowl vs Olympics

    Welcome to Episode 48 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

    We kick off with Tap Back: Week in Review (aka “slap or stomp”): a Netflix live free-climb, a viral “Japanese cheesecake,” the Hollywood Sign stunt discourse, AI Guy Fieri, and actual medical progress worth celebrating.

    Then we get into:

    • Intentional amateurism + why “good enough” might be the 2026 motto
    • Pillow fort rules (how long is too long?)
    • Old school chores (and whether piano can be used as currency)
    • Gen Z ghosting jobs: rebellion, irresponsibility, or both?
    • Our documentary phase: when does documentary stop documenting and start promoting?
    • And a Super Bowl vs Olympics mini-game — because both are this week

    👇 Comment: What are you slapping and stomping this week?

  • Are You Dead? • Family Canceling • Being Annoyed With Your Spouse

    Welcome to Episode 47 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

    Today’s episode  covers everything from forgotten math skills to one of the darkest apps on the internet.

    Don and Kelly talk about:

    • Studying for the HSPT with your kid and realizing how hard math actually is
    • A real app called “Are You Dead?” that lets people send proof of life
    • What loneliness looks like in modern life
    • Kelly gets hassled on the internet. Why YouTube clips get misunderstood out of context
    • The Brooklyn Beckham story: Canceling family members — when it’s healthy and when it’s not
    • Don is annoyed with Kelly. Why being annoyed with your spouse is actually normal
    • Grammy confusion, getting older, and realizing your old when you don’t know anyone in the New Artists Category.

    It’s funny, uncomfortable, honest, and very middle-aged — in the best way.

  • What’s Old is New : Memes, Peace-Walk Monks & the Aging Cliff

    Welcome to Episode 46 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

    Today we get into:

    • The rise of “grandma hobbies” (a.k.a. analog activities) as people try to escape doomscrolling — with searches for “analog hobbies” spiking fast lately. 
    • TikTok’s “Great Meme Reset of 2026” and why 2016 is allegedly the “golden era” again. 
    • How Olympians think about success/failure… plus the eternal truth: don’t bring heavy topics to bed (Kelly disagrees).
    • A group of Buddhist monks walking 2,300 miles from Texas to Washington, DC on a Walk for Peace — and the very real accident they endured along the way. 
    • The Stanford Medicine research that suggests aging doesn’t happen smoothly — it can hit in big molecular “bursts” in the mid-40s and again around 60. 
    • And yes… we end with Autistic Barbie and the complicated line between inclusion and corporate “good business.” 

    If you’re in your 40s, tired, doomscrolling, nostalgic, or just here for the banter: you’re our people.

  • Toxic Mom Groups, Business in Your 40s, & Why Exclusion Hurts

    On today’s episode of Two Awesome People, we cover three extremely important adult topics:

    1. Business in your 40s (spoiler: you’re not late — you’re right on time). Research suggests the average age of successful entrepreneurs is in the early-to-mid 40s, and older founders can have a real advantage. 
    2. Toxic mom groups + being excluded — why it hits so hard (and why your brain treats social rejection a lot like physical pain). 
    3. Don reads the wildly chaotic classic “Two Dead Boys” poem (dad folklore at its finest), and Kelly tries to recover.
    4. Group chat etiquette (a.k.a. Don Irish-goodbyes every text thread)
    5. And we close with Would You Rather: Animal Edition… featuring a “ladybug knees” fact we absolutely did not fact-check

    If you’ve ever felt too old, left out, overwhelmed by group chats, or just need a laugh—this one’s for you.

    ✅ Chapters 

    00:00 – Intro: “Two awesome people… better than one?”
    00:20 – Business in your 40s: you’re not late
    01:00 – “Average successful entrepreneur is 42” convo 
    03:05 – Toxic mom groups: what’s really going on
    04:55 – Exclusion hurts (and why it hits deep)
    06:40 – Social pain vs physical pain (brain science) 
    12:40 – The ultimate line: “I’ll let you all catch up, bye.”
    13:55 – Storytime with Don: “Two Dead Boys” begins
    17:20 – Raising kids into good adults (soft skills & empathy)
    22:15 – “Let’s have a conversation…” (kid mind games)
    23:55 – Don’s group chat escape plan (Irish goodbye energy)
    28:40 – Would you rather: snake vs eel, pig vs donkey, etc.
    29:55 – Ladybug “knee blood” fact + wrap

  • New Year, New Season… Same Mid-Life Chaos

    Season 2 is here — and we kick it off with a truly painful knock-knock joke, a bright red “birthday/Christmas” sweater debate (including: do mustache + cable knit go together?), and a surprisingly deep dive into New Year’s resolutions.

    We talk why decisions get harder as you get older (health insurance counts 😅), what people resolved back in 2000 BC, why “approach goals” beat “avoidance goals,” and how we’re starting 2026: Kelly wants a job, Don wants to relax, and we’re trying to make Two Awesome People… even awesomer.

    And yes — we’re also addressing why people keep commenting that we’re AI on YouTube. 🤖

    Turkey Talk time. 🦃 Don and Kelly dive into all things Thanksgiving: favorite foods (stuffing vs pie), cursed new products like Heinz “Leftover Gravy,” the Target-only Starbucks drink, and whether turkey is ever actually good… or just a vehicle for leftovers and crust.

    • Why they hate the kids’ table
    • Thanksgiving expectations in your 40s
    • Champagne punch, mulled wine, and middle-aged holiday energy
    • A truly unhinged tradition called “Spank the Turkey” 😂

  • Thigh Apology, Wedding Rings, Fedora Man & Penny Drama

    Kelly & Don cover a little bit of everything this week — starting with a viewer comment about Don’s “too much thigh”apology (yep, that happened) and how even the most mundane stuff gets politicized online. Then it’s a rapid-fire tour through:

    • Savannah Bananas blowing up like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball
    • Wedding rings: symbolism vs. reality (and Don’s ring-in-the-paint story)
    • Parenting a 13-year-old “bro” and teaching respect vs. “glazing”
    • The viral Louvre “Fedora Man” (aka fedora aura)
    • Feeling overwhelmed, the gov’t shutdown vibe, and midlife perspective
    • Mariah Carey defrosting
    • Penny “is it gone?” chat and why Gen Z “hates cash”
