In this episode of Two Awesome People, Don and Kelly go full holiday-brain in the best way:
- Oxford’s Word of the Year: “rage bait” – and how their clips accidentally trigger Gen Z 💀
- Being called “old” on the internet (and why they kinda don’t mind)
- Christmas tree time: overpriced lots, antlers on the car, pizza, sap, and traditions gone wild 🎄
- Freelance life stress: feast-or-famine, sad violins, and picking your “preferred stress”
- How to teach kids to react to bad gifts without being little monsters 🎁
- The legendary drunk raccoon that broke into a liquor store and passed out in the bathroom 🦝🍾
- Raccoons slowly becoming urban pets of the future??
- Top 3 Christmas movies (Elf vs. Home Alone vs. Christmas Vacation showdown) 🎬
- Google’s top searches of 2025, DeepSeek, and feeling 20 years behind everything
- A rant about the U.S. Transportation Department telling people to “dress with respect” when flying… and why Don & Kelly vote: full loungewear as protest 🛫
Hit play for cozy chaos, real talk, and a very strong opinion about sweatpants on planes.
