Welcome to Episode 51 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

Episode 51 is a full-spectrum ride: Kelly introduces the most savage group chat term we’ve heard in a while — “finger princess” — and Don immediately wants to weaponize it. Then we get into soft living, the zombie internet (AI bots socializing??), Olympics wrap-up takes, and one of the weirdest mushroom stories ever: people seeing tiny elf-like figures marching under doors if the mushroom isn’t cooked enough.

In this episode:

• What a finger princess is (and why it’s a friendship red flag)
• “Soft living” vs hustle culture (and whether it’s just… being set in your ways)
• The zombie internet: AI talking to AI (paperclip therapy vibes)
• Olympics thoughts: pressure vs joy + curling fatigue
• The mushroom story that causes tiny people hallucinations for 1–3 days 😳
• Punchkin the monkey + the stuffed orangutan that stole our hearts
• Toy Story 5 + “slap or stop” chaos
