We kick this one off with a very official life update: David passed his Ohio learner’s permit test (BMV, webcams, trick questions and all), and now it’s on to the maneuverability test.

We also recap seeing Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras live at the House of Blues Cleveland (monkey-bar stunt included), why crowded shows are suddenly not our thing, and the awkward “does he remember us?” meet-and-greet energy.

Then we get real about long-distance relationships—what actually got us through five years across continents (communication, clear milestones, and a shared end goal), and how our views on marriage shifted as our careers grew.

Plus: Robert Irwin and the Bachelor rumors, The Traitors, and a quick riff on Taylor’s new lyrics about wanting a simple, steady life. We wrap with the “Seriously Award of the Week”: David becoming his dad in the Sam’s Club pants aisle.
