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. 🤖
