Two Awesome People

Don and Kelly shout out Brady, Laura, and Barbara (hi!), then dive into the art of bonding with a teenage boy—starting with the slang of the week: “I know ball.” 

From late-night chats (because teen brains wake up at sundown) to the magical power of shutting up and listening, they trade real wins and fails: rating days 1–10, letting silence do the work, finding shared lanes (music, chess, yard work… sometimes), and not faking interest in the stuff you truly don’t care about (looking at you, Brawl Stars). 

They unpack the amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex tug-of-war, why non-judgmental phrases help, when expectations hurt, and the underrated intimacy of an ER trip after a baseball-to-the-elbow. 

Plus: the recurring segments—But First (slang), But Now (word association), and Last Butt (Loved / Want to Love). Parenting a teen is chaotic, hairy, hilarious—and totally doable. Tune in and, ahem, know ball.

Don and Kelly dive head-first (okay, butt first) into a lively debate about the five personality traits they most want to teach their kids — and discover, to their shock, that their lists almost match. 

From humor and honesty to ambition, openness, self-confidence, kindness, and a little healthy respect, they break down how those qualities shape happy, grounded humans. 

Along the way they tackle fast-moving slang like “let’s get sendy,” Jersey Shore flashbacks, Nate Bargatze’s Emmy gig, and why tickling a 13-year-old might or might not be a dad thing. 

This one’s part parenting toolkit, part pop-culture ping-pong, and all classic Two Awesome People.

Don and Kelly kick off with their most enthusiastic intro yet, tumble into the Gen-Z slang “hear me out,” and somehow end up flirting with Prue from The Great British Baking Show. 

From football fandoms and baseball superstitions to the wild rise of pickleball (a.k.a. Frankenball), they unpack why sports traditions matter — and when they don’t. 

There’s a dive into kids’ athletics, pressure vs. grit, and how family rituals shape what we cheer for. Plus: a love letter to biscuits, cake stands, and polite European competitiveness. 

Whether you’re ramming your manhood metaphorically into baking or just here for sports talk, buckle up — not strap in — for this hilarious, unexpectedly wholesome ride.

Don and Kelly kick things off with their new segment “Butt First” (and yes, it’s exactly as ridiculous as it sounds), before diving headfirst—or butt first—into the trend of micromances: those small, everyday gestures that actually keep relationships alive. 

From surprise coffees to awkward morning kisses with a mouth guard still in, they unpack how Hollywood ruined romance with over-the-top gestures and why tiny nuggets of love might just be the real secret sauce. 

Along the way, you’ll get some questionable slang lessons, a debate about hugging vs cheek kissing, and the eternal question: do micromances replace grand gestures or just make them sweeter?

Kelly’s down with a bug, Don’s “voluntold” to keep the house running, and together they unravel the strange world of volunteering. From setting the bar low on being awesome to debating if oatmeal counts as community service, they dive into why people give their time, how to make it fun (hint: cookies), and what kids really learn when parents show up. Plus: a little Severance stress, online friendships, and why Don draws the line at six-hour volunteer shifts.

Happy Labor Day! Don & Kelly kick things off by debating what the holiday actually honors (spoiler: it’s workers, not naps). From there, they dive headfirst into the world of FAFO parenting—aka “F*** Around and Find Out.” Should kids learn the hard way about cold weather, homework, or grocery store scavenger hunts? And when it comes to screens and the internet, does “FAFO” still apply, or is it time for a little “BCAC” (Be Cautious And Careful)?

Along the way:

• The great jacket standoff with their son Nate
• Connor’s independent Trader Joe’s missions
• Screen-time battles, busted lies, and unexpected sobbing confessions
• AI companions and why teens might already be dating Siri
• Why sometimes you’ve got to let your kid (and yourself) FAFO to actually grow

It’s parenting, it’s messy, it’s hilarious—and yes, there are stats Don probably pulled from bullshit.com.

In this episode of Two Awesome People, Don and Kelly dive into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes contradictory world of self-confidence. Don insists he’s got it in spades (though admits his 20s were rough), while Kelly reveals she’s still guarding her “confidence jar” with bubble wrap. Together, they debate whether confidence comes from grooming, posture, or just stabbing negative thoughts like it’s a Tarantino movie.

From cake metaphors to liquid courage, from social media anxieties to backpacking survival stories (yes, there’s pee-filter talk), this conversation is equal parts pep talk, comedy, and marriage banter. If you’ve ever questioned your self-worth—or just wanted to know what a “confidence cow” is—this episode is for you.

What counts as an anniversary, really? Don and Kelly dive into the quirky world of “arbitrary-versaries”—those random milestones couples latch onto, like the first time someone did yard work or the day one of them chose sleep over sex (with a celebratory high-five). Along the way, they compare their own low-key approach to anniversaries, laugh over the idea of commemorating fart dates, and uncover how traditions like Prosecco Sunday become just as meaningful as a wedding day.

This episode has it all: awkward gift talk (crystal candy dish, anyone?), accidental eye rolls, business pitches for fart-iversary cards, and the ongoing debate over whether celebrating “everything” actually makes milestones matter more—or less.

It’s equal parts funny, honest, and unexpectedly sweet. Whether you love grand gestures or think anniversaries are overrated, you’ll find yourself nodding (and laughing) along.

Don swears he fell into a “functional freeze” (aka depression’s awkward little brother), while Kelly insists he just looked extra zombie-ish for a few days. Together, they unpack what it means to feel foggy, numb, and disconnected—whether it’s from work stress, parenting teenagers who act like mini emotional terrorists, or just middle-age creeping in. Along the way they debate tank top etiquette, invent terrible DIY doctor prescriptions, and ask life’s most important question: why would you eat food so spicy it injures you?

It’s part self-diagnosis, part comedy, and part marriage therapy—but mostly just proof that if you’re going to freeze, you might as well do it with laughter, cocktails, and bare feet on the grass.

What happens when your spouse also becomes your coworker? 

In this episode, Don and Kelly pull back the curtain (literally) on the joys, frustrations, and awkward headphone malfunctions of podcasting as a couple. 

From discovering each other’s “confidence blankets,” to figuring out who gets final say in editing, to debating if Batman and Robin are really equal partners (spoiler: nope), they explore how working together has reshaped their communication, patience, and marriage. 

Along the way, they uncover surprising truths about vulnerability, the art of saying “no,” and why broccoli is still the ultimate relationship dealbreaker.
