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.

This week we open with the beard-bib instagram ad that got David good. The Ford Ranger saga levels up: the brakes go soft, the truck gets towed out of our driveway, and David seriously considered trading it for one of those wild EV lease deals that are going around.

Between coughs (sinus surgery countdown), we get into reality-TV takes: the Robert Irwin-for-Bachelor drumbeat, why we're into The Traitors more than Survivor lately, and what would have to change for us to buy back into a fresh Bachelor season.

And for the Seriously Award of the Week, we present: “Feeling something you don’t normally feel.” It starts with a Dancing with the Stars hip tutorial and ends with a story about the first time David was unexpectedly grinded on at a 2010 college house party. American rite of passage unlocked.

If you’re new here, we’re two married people trying to make each other—and you—laugh while we stumble through life’s little plot twists. Welcome to The Seriously Show.

We’re back from Scotland and full of stories (and fried food). Morgan has a new obsession with fish and chips while David, true to form, caught his usual post-flight plague. Between kilts, bagpipes, and a wedding drenched in Scottish tradition, we’re left wondering why American weddings feel so… basic. Morgan also had her fair share of accent struggles abroad, and back at home we learned that apparently your mortgage can be sold without anyone asking you (WHAT?!). David makes a bold Dancing With the Stars prediction, and this week’s Seriously Award goes to him for asking a “hypothetical question” that wasn’t hypothetical at all.

Welcome to the very first episode from our new home! The studio space isn’t set up yet, so we’re coming to you from the only room in the house we actually feel good about. Between furniture shopping (which takes twice as long thanks to David’s never-ending “where’s that accent from?” conversations), Morgan preparing for sinus surgery in November (seven procedures… and we can’t pronounce any of them), and the joys of figuring out homeownership—life has been pretty eventful. David’s also learning the finer struggles of American life, like yard envy, keeping up with the Joneses, trying to make sense of college football rankings, and—believe it or not—having to share a bathroom in our new place. Oh, and in case anyone wants to explain how paying a mortgage actually works… we’re listening.

It’s the last episode in the old studio! 🎉 Morgan and David are knee-deep in moving boxes (and David’s extreme packing system), while trying to juggle life, taxes, and an upcoming trip to Scotland. Fall has officially arrived—though David is still in denial—and Morgan may or may not be plotting her way out of moving day with a conveniently timed ENT appointment. The two debate whether they can swing a trip to NYC for Carl Radke’s Soft Bar opening, break down who really counts as the most famous people in the world, and David reveals why he refuses to be a Swiftie. Plus, in the Seriously Award of the Week, Morgan shares her very… unconventional nail salon experience (spoiler: she kinda loved it).

Morgan and David are knee-deep in new house chaos—endless paint, packing boxes, and realizing even swapping out a light fixture is basically rocket science. Morgan’s allergy drama takes a wild twist after a CT scan reveals she has chronic pansinusitis (what even is that!?). Meanwhile, David finally gets clued in on the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni saga—thanks to Taylor Swift being a guest on the New Heights podcast with Travis & Jason Kelce. And in a shocking turn of events, David scored a new buddy for the POD concert… meaning Morgan is officially off the hook for rock show date night.

We’re back in our brand-new, half-painted living room—aka the stress cave—trying to record a podcast while surrounded by paint cans, blue tape, and life choices we can’t undo. David’s fresh off a nightmare trip to Barcelona that included two canceled flights, a sprint through Newark Airport, a last-minute switch to Delta from JFK, and a $140 cab ride he still hasn’t recovered from.

Meanwhile, Morgan’s been holding down the fort, masking tape in one hand, emotional support coffee in the other, wondering why we thought painting our new house ourselves was a good idea.

We cover:

If you’ve ever survived moving into a new home or a travel disaster, you’ll feel right at home in this one.

It’s been a BIG week for the Prestons—and only one of them is here to talk about it. Morgan’s flying solo this week, recapping the rollercoaster of closing on their house (yes, they had to sign everything twice), and navigating surprise curveballs like the sellers giving them a 30-minute heads up before shutting off the gas. Meanwhile, David’s trip to Barcelona? Total disaster. He nearly booked a flight home. And Morgan? Spiraling over paint swatches.

It’s a huge week for David and Morgan—they’re about to close on their new house! The paperwork is nearly signed, the deposit is about to be paid, and naturally, the next big debate is whether or not the new place needs a hot tub. (Spoiler: David thinks it absolutely does.) With David jetting off to Barcelona, Morgan is mentally preparing for a solo packing mission—and she’s not exactly thrilled about it. 

Meanwhile, David made two 11-year-old boys’ dreams come true by paying them $12 to clean their garbage bins, while Morgan did what she always does when someone shows up at the door: run the other way. They’re also on the hunt for the perfect name for their listeners, uncover the real reason the Squid Game VIP acting is so cringe, and hand out this week’s Seriously? Award to none other than David—who now wants a home gym despite having a rec center pass he’s used a grand total of three times.

Morgan and David have full-blown Bieber Fever after Justin Bieber dropped his surprise album, Swag. David swears he’ll take Morgan to a Bieber concert… if she agrees to a P.O.D. show in return. How is that a fair trade!?

This week, we deep dive into David’s “firsts” as a new U.S. resident: Walmart runs, Browns games, ATMs, and the cultural shock of it all. Things spiral (as they do) into a breakdown of the unofficial South African anthem: Sister Bethina.

Plus: this week’s Seriously? Award goes to the “VIPs” in Squid Game. Were they voice dubbed? Are they the worst actors of all time? Did they totally ruin the season? Let’s discuss.
