Buying Firewood off Amazon & Why David Thought Charlie XCX Was Lorde 031
Fresh off passing his driver's test, Dave floods the house, orders firewood on Amazon, and asks if Charlie XCX is Lorde. Just another week of marriage and home ownership.
Dave finally gets his Ohio license, but the celebration is cut short by a 7:30 AM toilet catastrophe involving overflowing water, sacrificed cooking pans, and Dave running around in his underwear tearing up carpet.
This leads to a serious discussion about their Amazon problem - because when you're buying firewood, smart locks, and mini fireplaces multiple times per week, maybe it's time for a spending threshold talk ($100? $200?). In other news: David thought Charlie XCX and Lorde were the same person, but now he's deep in his "Girl, so confusing" era.
They also dissect the wild Survivor snake bite that took out the only hope for the losing tribe, debate whether TikTok algorithms reveal your true self, and discuss Dave's plan to keep two phones so he won't be tempted by social media.

How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work 030
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.

The First Time David got Grinded on 029
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.

Scottish Weddings vs. American Weddings, and the Mortgage Rule No One Tells You About 028
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.

Morgan Needs Surgery, David Needs Privacy, and Neither of Us Knows How to Pay the Mortgage 027
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.
