  • Artemis II Recap & Compliments That Could Save Your Relationship
    Apr 14 2026

    The Artemis II crew just flew 40,000 miles past the moon and back — and we have thoughts. A LOT of thoughts. Plus: can a compliment be an insult? We play the game and things get awkward fast.

    In Episode #58, Kelly and Don break down the Artemis 2 mission — four astronauts, one very small capsule, a moon crater named after a lost love, and an astronaut who may or may not have taken maple syrup into space.

    Then we get into quiet compliments: those small, specific things someone says that hit harder than any grand gesture. What makes them land? Why do men and women hear them so differently?

    Then we play "Quiet Compliment or Backhanded Slam?" — because some things really walk the line. ("You're not as annoying as most people." Compliment? Insult? Both?)

    Plus: NASA goes full cat content, Don attempts a moon song (badly), and we wrap with our recommendations for the week.

  • Kind Words In Our Marriage That Hit Brutal
    Apr 7 2026

    Are you accidentally insulting your partner without realizing it? Kelly and Don break down the phrases couples say every single day that secretly sting — and rate which ones are truly unforgivable.

    This week on Two Awesome People: we got news about an animatronic Olaf taking a nosedive at Disneyland Paris, kimchi doing something wild for your gut health, and the most intense office chair race you've never heard of. Then we get into it — the top unintentional insults couples throw at each other (yes, "you look tired" makes the list), and we quiz each other on whether common phrases are kind, rude, or secretly brutal.

    Spoiler: Don says "you look tired" within the first 30 seconds. Classic.

  • April Fools Pranks That Went Too Far, Truth About Santa, & AI Fruit Drama
    Mar 31 2026

    Welcome to Two Awesome People, where we explore the internet's weirdest corners! 😂

    In this episode Kelly and Don dive into a hilarious April 1st joke, discussing how the best prank ideas rely on the target falling for it. We share some funny jokes and even a bit of stand up comedy as we ponder why some people are so easily fooled. This is definitely one to make you try not to laugh!

    We debate pranks that are too far, the awkward moment kids ask the big holiday questions, Easter Bunny logic, viral AI fruit drama, and why Chuck Norris memes deserve respect.

    From fake vacations to Costco, autocorrect sabotage, cereal pranks, Santa heartbreak, and the internet’s newest obsession with dramatic AI fruit, this episode is pure middle-aged chaos.

    We get into:
    • April Fool’s pranks for kids: too far or just right?
    • the right age to tell kids about Santa
    • why the Easter Bunny makes less sense than Santa
    • the bizarre rise of AI fruit reality-drama videos
    • remembering Chuck Norris facts and early internet humor

    If you like funny podcast conversations about parenting, pop culture, weird internet trends, and middle-age reactions to modern nonsense, this one’s for you.
