Preparing for BravoCon, The Joys of Facebook Marketplace, & Ottoman Debate Results
This week on The Seriously Show, we're chat results from the Ottoman vs. coffee table debate, Dave's genius ceiling fan hack involving a Nike shoe and Morgan's purse, and our wild Facebook Marketplace adventures.
Plus, we're getting real about Morgan's BravoCon anxiety, potential government shutdown travel chaos, and why David is secretly obsessed with Selling Sunset.
Morgan breaks down the fandom overwhelm of BravoCon while David prepares for "Husband of BravoCon" vlogs round two. We're also gushing over Dancing with the Stars and Robert Irwin, and debating whether the Vanderpump Rules reboot will flop.
Producer Harley makes his triumphant return (and immediately gives us the cold shoulder).

Our First Time Experiencing Trick-or-Treating as Homeowners 033
We kick off Surgery Month — Morgan’s finally getting her long-awaited sinus surgery after a year and a half of barely being able to breathe or smell. David’s already plotting the post-anesthesia video, and Morgan’s deep in her ChatGPT research phase.
Then we dive into our first trick-or-treating experience as homeowners and David's first real American trick-or-treating experience entirely: $100 worth of candy gone in one hour, two devastated Spider-Men, and neighbors with haunted contraptions shaking all night.
Plus, the Taco Bell debate no one asked for and a heated ottoman vs. coffee table standoff.

KFC in South Africa vs USA, & Getting Lost in the Mall 032
We’re back from Florida with a sun-kissed glow. Morgan admits she’s never had a Big Mac, David defends the Big Mac sauce like it’s a personality trait, and we rank our go-to fast-food orders (McDonald’s, Wendy’s Biggie Bag, Taco Bell) while debating whether KFC in South Africa is just built different. You have to hear about the legendary Streetwise Chow.
We get nostalgic about Blockbuster and early Netflix, then bump into a cultural gap: Dancing with the Stars, Boy Meets World, and the Topanga of it all.
Also: our two-year anniversary (K-1 visa / 90 Day Fiancé vibes), and the saga of Morgan losing David in Zara with no service and her using ChatGPT to try save herself.

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.
