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.

Home Projects That Never End and the Soft Bar Opening Party Dilemma 026
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).

New Homeowner Headaches, Morgan’s Chronic Pansinusitis + David Finally Learns the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni Drama 025
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 Painting our New House... slowly + David's back from Barcelona 024
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:
How United Airlines and Newark Airport earned a permanent spot on David’s blacklist.
Why an empty row on an international flight is the true definition of winning the lottery.
The chaos of DIY home painting when you’re married to a perfectionist.
Plus, we’re taking listener votes: should we officially call our fans Mark’s Minions? Yes, it’s a meme. No, we’re not sorry.
If you’ve ever survived moving into a new home or a travel disaster, you’ll feel right at home in this one.

We’re Home Owners! & David’s Nightmare Trip to Barcelona 023
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.
