Welcome to Episode 50 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

This week we break down Olympic drama, viral desserts, the self-proclaimed “Quad God,” and whether it’s finally time to cancel Amazon Prime.

In this episode:
• The Norwegian biathlete who confessed cheating during his medal moment
• The rise (and heartbreak) of the “Quad God” in figure skating
• Olympic desserts going viral (Nutella pump??)
• Curling, real estate agents, and why Olympians have day jobs
• The Ukrainian helmet controversy
• Snoop Dogg being effortlessly cool (again)
• And… are we brave enough to unsubscribe from Amazon Prime?

Plus — we hit our 50th episode milestone 🎉 and reflect on why only 9% of podcasts make it this far.

If you love pop culture, Olympic chaos, and middle-aged takes that swing between deep and ridiculous… welcome.

Welcome to Episode 49 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

This week, Don wonders where his testosterone went (and whether goat weed from Amazon can save him), while Kelly keeps things grounded with logic, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

From midlife energy dips and aging bodies to “soft no’s,” Valentine’s Day nostalgia, and the surprisingly intense world of competitive dog shows—this episode is a full tour of what it actually feels like to be in your 40s.

We also cover:

• Westminster Dog Show
• Low testosterone vs. just being tired
• Supplements, stigma, and midlife motivation
• Why everyone forgets if they shampooed
• The art of the “soft no”
• Valentine’s Day pressure (and candy hacks)
• Parenting teens while aging simultaneously
• Why dog shows are older than the World Series

Funny, honest, and a little too relatable—this one’s for anyone wondering if they’re broken… or just middle-aged.

Welcome to Episode 48 of Two Awesome People — your middle-aged take on pop culture (keeping us “old people” informed).

We kick off with Tap Back: Week in Review (aka “slap or stomp”): a Netflix live free-climb, a viral “Japanese cheesecake,” the Hollywood Sign stunt discourse, AI Guy Fieri, and actual medical progress worth celebrating.

Then we get into:

• Intentional amateurism + why “good enough” might be the 2026 motto
• Pillow fort rules (how long is too long?)
• Old school chores (and whether piano can be used as currency)
• Gen Z ghosting jobs: rebellion, irresponsibility, or both?
• Our documentary phase: when does documentary stop documenting and start promoting?
• And a Super Bowl vs Olympics mini-game — because both are this week

👇 Comment: What are you slapping and stomping this week?
