World Cup 2026: What's The Big Deal?

Is soccer BORING... or is America just sleeping on the world's biggest sport? Kelly and Don break down the 2026 FIFA World Cup — 48 teams, 1.5 BILLION viewers expected, and the US men's team finally has something to prove. ⚽🇺🇸 In Episode 66 of Two Awesome People, Kelly is convinced soccer is a snoozefest (only two goals?!), and Don is armed with data to challenge everything she thinks she knows. Together they break down why soccer captivates 3.5 BILLION fans worldwide — while American fans still can't quite commit. From the World Cup 2026 album featuring Shakira, Jelly Roll & IShowSpeed, to the first-ever halftime show in World Cup history, to the story of how the World Cup trophy was STOLEN and found by a dog named Pickles — this episode has everything.  Plus: the three host nation mascots (Maple the Moose 🍁, Zeiu the Jaguar 🐆, and Clutch the Bald Eagle 🦅), Kelly's theory on why Americans physically cannot do "fancy footwork," and a heated soccer terminology quizfeaturing tiki-taka, clean sheets, and parking the bus. We also make our World Cup 2026 predictions, debate whether America will FINALLY care this time, and share what ChatGPT had to say about it (it's not optimistic 😅). And — it's our one-year podcast anniversary! 🎉 Thank you for being part of this community.

Should You Buy SpaceX Stock? Don & Kelly Debate the $2 Trillion IPO

SpaceX is about to launch the biggest IPO in history — a $75 billion public offering that could value the company at nearly $2 trillion. But here's the thing: SpaceX has NEVER been profitable. Welcome to Episode #64 of Two Awesome People — this week, Don and Kelly head to Wall Street with zero financial expertise and a lot of questions about the rumored SpaceX IPO.  What even is an IPO? Why would SpaceX go public? Is Starlink the money machine? Is Elon Musk the reason to invest — or the reason to run away? We break down SpaceX from a “normal person” perspective: rockets, Mars, asteroid mining, Starlink, space data centers, exploding valuations, and whether this whole thing is a brilliant bet on the future or just the most expensive sci-fi movie ticket ever sold. Plus: Kelly decides whether she’d go to space, Don explains bulls and bears badly, and we play Crazy Billionaire Acting Crazy or Crazy Brilliant Idea? Disclaimer: We are not financial advisors. This is entertainment, not investment advice. Please do not make financial decisions based on two people saying “Flavortown” whenever they don’t know something.

ChatGPT vs. Claude: Kelly’s First Time

Welcome to Episode 63 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture, keeping us “old people” informed. This week, Kelly uses ChatGPT and Claude for the first time. Don uses AI all the time. Kelly has never used it once. So naturally, her first question is about how to nicely ask a neighbor to move their giant car. We compare ChatGPT vs. Claude, ask if cereal is soup, find out which leg should go into pants first, talk about AI hallucinations, and debate whether you should say please and thank you to a chatbot. But things also get a little real: should people use AI for medical questions? Relationship advice? Love letters? And at what point does a helpful tool start replacing your own opinions, instincts, and personality? The final verdict: AI can be useful, but don’t use a machine to replace your personality. Subscribe for more middle-aged takes on pop culture, tech, marriage, parenting, and whatever weird thing we’re trying to understand this week.

OnlyFans, Patreon & The Weird New Access Economy

Welcome to Episode 62 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture, internet trends, and the strange ways the world keeps getting weirder. This week, Don and Kelly dive into OnlyFans, but not just the obvious version of OnlyFans. After seeing celebrities, creators, bloggers, musicians, and everyday people selling more direct access to themselves online, we ask: are we all becoming subscription services?   From Shannon Elizabeth making headlines, to OnlyFans vs. Patreon, Substack, Cameo, celebrity access, private newsletters, and the idea of paying $5.99 to help Don find his glasses, this episode gets into the rise of the “access economy” — where fame used to mean being unreachable, and now fame means you can subscribe.
