Editing Don from Ohio (section)

==The Wife (2021–ongoing)==
Once married, Don's wife became a recurring character in her own right. The podcast discussed her, debated her, advised her, and occasionally wronged her:

* '''Episode 404:''' Don asked for Christmas gift etiquette guidance; the advice given was later blamed for consequences.
* '''Episode 406:''' The show discussed when it is okay to lie to Don's wife.
* '''Episode 424:''' Don announced he was taking the wife back to Hawaii for her 50th birthday and asked for recommendations between Kauai (where they married) and Maui.
* '''Episode 450:''' Don reported his wife "went bat shit crazy ordering Christmas gifts" and needed new gift ideas. Advisors failed him.
* '''Episode 455:''' Don reported the result of following the show's gift advice — a Peloton — and the fallout. A separate listener in Episode 500 confirmed they followed the same advice for their pregnant wife and were accused of body shaming.
* '''Episode 471:''' Don bought his wife land in Scotland, granting her the title "Lady Diana."
* '''Episode 481:''' Don listed the Vikings' failure to sign Pit Boss Grills as a top-3 reason for their 0-2 start, alongside weak interior OL and an undersized defence. His wife was not mentioned in this episode.
* '''Episode 506:''' "My wife had gastric bypass surgery. Should I make her pay for half the grocery bills still?"
* '''Episode 548:''' Don considered staging a robbery of his own house to hide the fact he had reclaimed his wife's gifts to buy Vikings game tickets.
* '''Episode 559:''' "The wife's birthday is tomorrow and I really don't feel like spending over $20 on flowers for her. Should I wait to see what Mother's Day clearance flowers are out there and pick those up instead?"
