Two Awesome People

The kids are going back to school—hallelujah! Kelly’s ready to hand over the summer demons to their new caretakers (aka teachers), while Don somehow turns it into a TED Talk on “The Five Qualities of a Great Educator” and the phrase “old hat.” 

We cover everything from first-day hooky plans, to why “go get ’em, tiger” might embarrass your child just enough, to the great sweet-pickle debate of 2025. Also featuring: secret handshakes at drop-off, optimism haze, and Don’s ongoing suspicion of hats.

Don and Kelly set out to make the best podcast in the history of podcasts, armed with blind optimism, hunger, and a questionable take on applesauce. In this episode, they tackle the art of simplifying your life—physically, mentally, and digitally. 

From decluttering closets to trimming down your calendar, saying no to unnecessary commitments, and resisting the siren call of 18 streaming subscriptions, they cover it all. Along the way, they detour into baby teeth art projects, the stick’s induction into the National Toy Hall of Fame, and why oversimplifying might just leave you with pre-chewed fruit. It’s chaos, it’s cathartic, and it’s definitely not pre-cut.

Don and Kelly are diving headfirst into the wonderful, stressful, therapeutic chaos of projects. From roadside furniture makeovers to 80-foot backyard rock walls (allegedly), they explore why starting a project might just be cheaper than therapy — but also way sweatier. They chat about the difference between a project and a hobby, the fine art of quitting halfway, and what happens when couples collaborate (hint: it involves small bathroom lines and big opinions).

Also in this episode:

• Why monkeys probably have the dirtiest mouths
• What not to do with chocolate molds
• A completely unnecessary discussion about walruses

By the end, you’ll either be inspired to start a new project… or finally finish that one you’ve been avoiding since 2018.

Don and Kelly lace up their sneakers (reluctantly) and dive into the uphill battle that is working out in middle age. From guilt-fueled jogs to fantasies about ellipticals and matching pajama sets, they explore the why behind their workouts—and the many reasons they'd rather not. 

Don brags about push-ups, Kelly questions every decision, and together they try to make peace with sore joints, fading metabolisms, and the eternal quest to not feel like trash. It’s brutally honest, occasionally sweaty, and unexpectedly inspiring. Stretch first. Or don’t. We’re not judging.

In this episode of Two Awesome People, Don and Kelly dive deep into the chaos and comedy of everyday communication—interrupting, zoning out, ghosting, Zoom faux pas, texting etiquette, and who deserves the last word (or stare). From decoding sarcasm to dissecting the difference between listening and actually listening, they unpack how we all mess up talking to each other—lovingly, of course.

They share pet peeves (and Don becomes one), debate hugging as a love language, and discover Kelly’s on a dinghy of self-improvement while Don’s just trying out accents and staring contests. It’s funny, weirdly insightful, and maybe even a little helpful.

So grab your headphones, make some accidental eye contact, and come communicate poorly with us—just kidding, we’re getting better. (Kind of.)

In this refreshingly honest (and occasionally steamy) episode, Don and Kelly tackle three hot topics: how to motivate your kids without losing your mind, why they’ve been showering together for 15 years, and whether leveling up your home is worth the financial stress. Along the way, they question everything from middle school report cards to HGTV-induced delusions, all while trying not to resent each other—or their children.

It’s real talk about parenting, partnership, personal growth, and plumbing… because nothing says intimacy like a shared loofah and a canceled Disney Cruise.

Come hang out with two awesome (and slightly damp) people.

Don and Kelly are tired. Like, post-wedding, post-party, need-a-nap tired. But that doesn't stop them from diving deep into the messy, hilarious, heartwarming world of adult friendship. From lost college BFFs and three-strike friendship rules to proximity politics and the myth of the “spouse as best friend,” they unpack what it means to make—and maintain—connections in adulthood. Plus: Don reveals his shameless friend-making tactics, Kelly admits she might have Resting Bitch Face, and they both agree—your friendship roster can, in fact, fill up. Consider this your guide to the friend pit… and how to climb back out.

Welcome to Two Awesome People, where Don and Kelly dive headfirst into the rhythmic chaos of routines, rituals, and the occasional rut. From sunrise salutes (naked or not) to toddler pee habits (Disneyland was… a moment), they explore how routines shape our sanity, productivity, and family life.

In this episode:
– Morning farts and militant schedules
– Jazz parenting vs. military precision
– Turning dishwasher duty into a sacred ceremony
– Why kids need routines (and why adults fall apart without them)
– And how calling something a “tradition” makes it feel way more important than it is

It’s philosophical. It’s practical. It’s occasionally juvenile. Just like life. Come laugh, nod in agreement, and maybe rename your to-do list something majestic.

Now please rise for the 3 p.m. Scrolling Ceremony.

Pop the champagne and pass the judgment—Don and Kelly are headed to a wedding, and they’re bringing their hottest takes on all things nuptial. From awkward officiants and open-mic toasts to champagne-accessorizing and chicken nugget ring bearers, this episode is a full-blown celebration of love, laughter, and deeply held opinions about tray-passed drinks.

In this delightfully meandering episode of Two Awesome People, Don and Kelly dive headfirst into the murky waters of redefining yourself. Is it a bold new life path… or just painting your nails bright pink before officiating a wedding? The line is blurrier than a Trader Joe’s canned wine buzz.

They tackle everything from midlife funks, career pivots, and preschool parent politics, to imposter syndrome, pole dancing aspirations, and the profound question: does a nose piercing count as character development?

It’s introspective. It’s ridiculous. It’s everything you need to question your life choices… and maybe laugh while doing it.

Pour yourself a (possibly questionable) glass of white wine and join Don and Kelly as they redefine what it means to talk about redefining.
