Don't cry, baby. I haven't thought about this like that in a while. The Raiders pick you up, and they say that reporting date is the day of our wedding. I don't know how much to share of this. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to Couple Things. With Sean and Andrew. A pot.

Is your voice okay? What? Did it just crack? No. Podcasts all about couples. And the things they go through. Today is story series, episode three. People enjoyed this.

Wow. Also realize that most of the stories are kind of self-deprecating towards me, you know? You need to tell some embarrassing stories for you. I think that's today. Is it embarrassing stories for you? Yeah. I think there is one embarrassing story for you, but I think I'll take the brunt of it. So if you're new here, we usually do interviews with like therapists or counselors or like celebrities to kind of hear how they do relationships and marriage.

But we started this series for us, really, just for Sean and I to cement. some of our favorite stories that we've not documented in a real way. This is, consider it like our, you know, memoirs. It's our memoir. Memoir. Memoir. Wow.

Memoir. Memoir. A lot of these are embarrassing stories that we can't believe we're telling you. But a lot of them are fun, wild. If you missed story series episode one and two, please go back and listen to those. They're ridiculous. They involve E. coli and a black bear.

and Caribbean countries. Yeah, and illegal things. First up, Andrew, I think we've skimmed over this story before, but why don't we just share the real story behind the first date and the first sleepover? Oh, man, that was one of, we did a dating series on our main channel where we went back and like screenshot at all these kind of things, but it's hard to do justice to a story where you have to shove it into like an 8-minute YouTube video for the algorithm's sake. So, the full story of our first date.

Okay, 2012, let me take you back to the fall of 2012. The Summer Olympics in London had just occurred. Let me summarize the Summer Olympics real quick. Great. I was in and out of a relationship that I had been in for three or four years. It was one of those where it was like, it was over, but we were kind of back and forth on it. Um, and he had this ultimatum with me, not ultimatum. He just had a stipulation of like, I couldn't go see my ex-boyfriend, whose name was Taylor Finney, who were like really close friends.

Like stipulations like that? Yeah. Okay. We were young. Carry on. We don't need to live in the past. Um. And I was at the Olympics and Taylor's a really good friend of mine.

There was nothing romantic there anymore. I just wanted to support him. Taylor Finney was a phenomenal cyclist for the U.S. who was competing at the Olympics. Yes. So I kind of like stuck it to my ex-boyfriend. I was like, you know what? I don't have to tell him about it.

We're on the outs anyways. I'm going to go cheer Taylor on at his event. So I went. I got to sit next to his teammate for his whole race. I got to watch him, cheer him on. I was really proud of him. And his teammate happened to be Guy East. That's right.

So my brother was a professional cyclist. Q pictures on screen. and had actually made the Olympics I'll never forget seeing the letter though that yeah like made the Olympics but they cut his event months before so he was like training out at the OTC Olympic Training Center

in Colorado Springs and then they just decided we're not going to do that event anymore he was like a track cyclist for the Olympics was really talented but ended up going anyway to go support his teammates one of which was Taylor Finney

so he bumps into Sean and I think this was when you were looking at going to schools and there was like some article that came out and was published that said you were looking

at Vanderbilt and Stanford as schools of choice and so my brother I think came across it and I'll never forget like he texted us like hey you won't

I just met Sean John he posted a Facebook picture and cute picture yeah and then he said I'm gonna try to link you two up to see if you could talk about Vanderbilt. Wait, wink.

Great. Wink, wink. At the time, I had zero social media accounts. I was like, this guy who had dreadlocks, not kidding. And you had, like, poor girlfriends. Let's be real. That's a story for another day. I had, like, dreadlocks.

I was anti-social media, which is ironic because now that's what we do all day every day. But I formed my first social media account, a Twitter, to tweet at Sean. And then hopefully, my game plan was form a Twitter, tweet, at Sean. She follows me hopefully. I DM her, get her phone number, it's game on. And it went according to plan. It did. So you DM'd me. We went back and forth. I said, I heard you met my brother Guy. If you're looking for a tour of Vandy, I'll give you one. I think it was almost verbatim. I also want to backtrack too. The way this had all worked out, the reason why I had gotten on Twitter and responded is we were young. I was young. I was 20 years old. This relationship

that I was getting out of wasn't like horrible. It wasn't toxic. We had really good times, but you'll remember when you're a teenager. You do dumb things. Like even him having stipulations, we were just young and naive. Sean,

what she's trying to say was at rock bottom and desperate times call for desperate measures. No, but I did get excited at the idea of being set up with someone. I was like, yeah, I want to try something new. And here I was this,

you know, collegiate football all star, Which is ironic because I wasn't at all. I was a long snapper, which is not like, you know. And I was at Vanderbilt, which is not historically a good football program. But I will say, background, I'm in London at the Olympics. I'm with my agent at the time. I know Taylor Finney and his family so well.

Taylor Finney is backing the East family. Taylor's parents are like, these are amazing people. My agent is also doing her due diligence. she's like this is an amazing family he's a good guy he's got a great reputation like we were doing you know was that pretty normal that was pretty normal of you to ask your ex-boyfriend's families about your future boyfriend I think that just goes to show what our relationship was like we were friends he was all for it he's like this family's awesome give us a shot now that we've given you 10 minutes of background so Sean and I meet that's how we meet we did I got her phone number on

Twitter and then we did like a one 20 minute phone call yeah I'll never forget that night yes you my favorite candy bar was I like I think I asked to pray for you or like if you go to church or whatever and for whatever reason um you didn't really talk to me much after that but I was intimidated when you did talk to me was the night of my birthday okay September 17th 2012 it was like 1159 p.m. You can't make this up. I get a text from Sean. who I haven't heard from in probably a month. She was out in L.A. doing Dancing with the Stars. And she says in caps and like odd punctuation

with like a greater than symbol and a question mark. Is do you want to fly out to L.A. It wasn't like a happy birthday, but I was like, she texted me this one minute left on my birthday. She must have known. She loves me. And what was actually going on

is I was rooming with one of my best friends at the time in Los Angeles. I was in the middle of the dancing with the stars all-star season my ex-boyfriend and i were still on the rocks going back and forth between this like gray period whatever and i had just kind of gotten to the end of my rope and i was like i am completely done i can't go i can't do this round and round and round around thing again and i remember me and my girlfriend stayed up really late drank bottle of wine she was asking me she's like if you could go on a date with anybody who would it be right now just like clean slate

and i said i want to give this andrew east guy a shot that's crazy and it just so happened to be on my birthday i had no clue and i drunk texted you i was like come to l.a question mark and fell asleep so the weird thing is like Sean as a celebrity knows a lot of people like she meets a lot of people but the world is really small. She didn't actually interact with a lot of people. So I guess I had, my name had entered the orbit at an interesting time where, you know, this relationship was ending and I was able to swoop in. I'm a lucky guy is what that has to say.

So anyway, I get this text, I wake up, and I had like an 8 a.m. class or 7.30 a.m. class. It was like, it was about, I did civil engineering college, so this class was about, like, cement or concrete. and the benefits. I'm not kidding. I did a whole semester on that. So I'm like so excited that you sent me this text. I send my dad the screenshot of it. Or there's like the boys' text of my brothers and dad.

And they were like, you got to do it. And I was like, I'm in class. Which is wild. And it just so happened that that week, so this is the fall. I'm playing college football. We pretty much are booked every weekend in the fall. But we had a buy week. So we didn't have a game that week, which happens once a year.

yeah and it was that weekend and so I was like I'm in class and we only have like 36 hours off for our bye week I would need to leave soon and my dad was like I just bought you a plane ticket go so I let I got up and left class and I headed straight to the airport literally just packed a backpack with my nicest clothes which at the time was like these hiking shorts and like some rag tag button down I had like back in the day I literally there's a picture I had one outfit it was like khaki pleaded don't make fun of my shorts that you get from REI and then an Abercrombie polo throw it in I land in LA I changed out of my athletic clothes into this nice outfit quote unquote and I was like I didn't have a ride I didn't know what I was doing it's my first time in California I get off the plane I walk like two miles to this best Western go behind the bushes and change into my outfit and then I not a great area in LA around the airport yeah it's great But I don't know. Life is an adventure, dude. It's all part of the experience. And so then, like, we had tried to be, we were trying to text Sean. Him and his brother, Guy, who I had met at London.

Who had driven up from San Diego where he was training for cycling. We were like, all right, yeah, let's meet up for dinner. And you had replied and said, great, or something like that. And then crickets. So I'm in L.A. and we don't have any hard plans set. We're like texting, texting, no response, no response. So this is now the 18th of. September, which is like a Friday or Saturday. We show up to Sean's apartment. So, send us your address. To give context when he's texting me after he. So I wake up the next morning and he's like, I'm on my way. And I got so nervous. And I was also like, oh my gosh.

Which is understandable. But also romantic. And I don't know what to expect. But then I was in Dancing with the Stars rehearsal all day. So like I didn't have my phone on me, nothing. Right. No, I didn't. Right.

Dude. She had texted her address, though. I said, like, meet us at our apartment. I'll meet there right after rehearsals. We show up. We're in the parking garage. It's like waiting in response. We're literally just sitting in the car for, like, 30 minutes.

Is she going to text us? I don't know. We're like making backup plans. Let's go to dinner here if it doesn't work out. I didn't really, like, I had no skin in the game, really. I was just happy to be out there with my brother who I was going to go watch. He had a bike race that weekend anyway. So there was like backup plans in place.

we finally get a response we show up I got out of rehearsals we show up and I'll never forget this is the first time I laid eyes on you babe we're walking through that little apartment complex it's like orange

and you came out to meet us and you were in a white shirt and Shannon was there with you and you were not smiling because I now under I realize in retrospect this was an odd situation but those big eyes of ears

I don't look at them right now Yeah. I'm not to cry, dude. Don't cry, baby. I haven't thought about this like that in a while. I remember. That was the first time I saw you. Oh, my gosh, you are going to cry. I remember it was a really stressful time because to put yourself into my shoes coming off before your relationship, I was so guarded and I was so jaded and living in Hollywood and coming off the Olympics.

I didn't know if I could trust people. I had major trust issues. this guy just flew from one drunk text all the way across the country shoot your shot I was exhausted from rehearsals with Derek Huff where we were getting ready for the finale it was close to the finale um I was with Shannon all these things and I was just like what am I doing like I have no time for this like what am I doing and I remember meeting you um we ended up it was me Shannon Andrew and Guy so it wasn't like super intimate and we were trying to be like very safe um we went to the grove yeah which is like

a little outdoor farmer's market you were in flip flops i'll never forget that yeah and you were like way shorter than i had expected you to be way shorter but we got like a little bit of a walk down there we were trying to make small talk and we were walking through the grove in l.a um we walked to the farmer's market it was like dinner time we ordered like seven different dinners um also this was my 21st birthday. Yeah. I never drank until I never drank until I was 21. And I just, some of the, my favorite memories from that night was, again, I was very jaded.

Living in Hollywood and stuff, I, I grew up with this dream of meeting this gentleman. He reminds me of my dad, pretty much. And I hadn't really been treated like that yet, like, by. the way you did and we were walking through the farmer's market and it's like a farmer's market it's not like a nice restaurant of any kind and you would like pull the chair out for me and you would always walk next to the street and like put me on the inside of the sidewalk and you asked to pray before dinner which like was like an arrow to my heart I was like are you kidding me is this like a strategy or is this like actually him it was amazing But I was, I just had this guard up all night of, this guy seems amazing, but he seems too good to be true. It's interesting. I've never thought about this, but like, you know, when I first saw you, it was like a fish out of water kind of. I saw you as a fish out of water.

Yeah. Where like, here you are this amazingly strong, capable, talented, powerful woman. and then like I meet you and like there's clearly layers of insecurity or self-doubt and so my it was like a challenge I was like I gotta figure out how to get through that and see the essence the core of this girl I will never forget towards the end of dinner whatever we were sitting up on like a rooftop balcony in the grove we had ordered Shannon had ordered your first drink, which was like a lemon drop.

No, she ordered me a shocktop beer was my first drink ever and then a lemon drop at the set. We were going restaurant to restaurant because like a bunch of little like kind of like outside restaurants. Also I don't remember guy being there, which is funny.

I was locked in on you. But I remember sitting on this rooftop towards the end of the night and you were just so dorky in the sweetest way trying so hard to like make me laugh or come up with jokes I was trying very hard unsuccessfully and I just was like

I think as you just like you were trying to figure me out I was trying to figure you out and I was trying to figure out what was sincere if it all was sincere if it was a ploy if you had motive you had intention like all these things and I remember I can like picture you sitting with your smile and your kind of long hair and there was this big forever 21 sign behind you in the grove and I remember just thinking like he's so just sweet it was so refreshing and then quickly like my guard would be like oh it's not gonna work okay enough sappiness so at this point we've gone to like seven restaurants yeah Sean was essentially like pushing all the food that she wanted to eat but couldn't because she's gone through dance with the stars has all this body stuff

going on on me so i'm stuffed had a lot of baggage i wasn't willing to share at that night it's my first time drinking alcohol guy and i are sitting there you and chanan were not drinking we go to this last restaurant umami burger and they're like it's i don't know not that late but we were wrapping down the night and they're like where are you guys staying and we said we're sleeping on a car like i was a minute we were going to it was totally fine and normal for us to have done that then sean says i got to go to the bathroom and shannon goes with her so we're sitting there they're like wonder what they're talking about and they come back in the bathroom we were like do we offer because we lived in an apartment we had three bedrooms and I was like to offer them a place to

stay like they seem genuine but this seems like a cardinal sin that you don't do like all these things whatever and we're like okay we'll we'll offer them a place to stay whatever just out of kindness and we go back we're like well you can take like our guest bedroom if you want And they were like, done. We would love that. That's so sweet. You were just offering it as a gesture, and we took it. We pounce on the opportunity.

So we drove back to Sean's apartment. We, like, said good night. You guys were in some upstairs room, and I'll never forget, like, I made some cheesy joke. But I saw that was when at the end of the night, I saw the first smile from me, and I was like, I'm hooked. Because really, the night had not gone, like, it was not great. But then I saw that smile. and it was the game over. Guy and I shared this bed

and we took a picture. You and Shannon apparently had like barricaded yourself. Yeah, we shared the upstairs bedroom and like pushed the dresser against the door. I don't know. Again, we were just so nervous and guarded. And then we were supposed to go get,

we were supposed to have like another meetup that next day. It didn't happen. But guy and I wrote like a little thank you note or poem because we woke up earlier than you were. And we didn't, see you that next day but I guess it was no it wasn't enough because then I thought I sealed the deal but then you ghosted me for nine months anyway there's more details on that on the internet

but that was our first date and it ended in a sleepover but with my brother yeah yeah but it was great would not recommend that by the way for those listening probably an unorthodox whole situation but here we are that was fun to reminisce that was really for you and me I have I really thought about it. Do you want to tell the next story? Which one? Well, let's fast forward to the day after our wedding. This episode is brought to you by Defender.

So, leading up to our wedding, Andrew was bouncing around the NFL. You had gotten released from the chiefs, and we were waiting to hear what team was picking you up. I got picked up by the Seahawks. You got picked up by the Seahawks.

That January, 2016. Yep. And then got released. And it was around the time of a couple months leading up to our wedding. We were waiting to hear who was going to pick you up. And all these different teams had different reporting dates. So in planning our wedding, we picked a weekend that we thought was safe. Yeah.

And we were like, I don't think any team has a reporting date on this weekend. If you get picked up, whatever. We could do our honeymoon. We get married, go on our honeymoon and then go to camp. It's like two weeks before our wedding, the Raiders pick you up. And they say that reporting date is the day of our wedding. April 16th, we had to be there at the hotel, April 7th. 17th was our first team meeting.

Yeah. So April 16th was our wedding date, two weeks out. And we were like, oh, my gosh. So I remember Andrew had a call with the coach saying, like, I'm getting married. And they said, no problem, just come in the next morning. So we ended up having to book flights at 6 a.m. the morning after our wedding from Nashville to Oakland so that Andrew could start. Practice.

Yeah, we had a meeting at like 2 o'clock. Yeah. Pacific time. I'll never forget. So like weddings are a big party, right? You're up late. You're tired. This has been like emotionally.

You're exhausted. The whole thing. You're on your feet the whole time. And I'm like, I'm not ready to play football right now. But I remember all we wanted to do that next morning after we woke up was like laying that hotel bed. But we were in that hotel room for a total of like six hours because we had to wake up, our bags for the next day. We didn't have anything packed. Classic Sean and Andrew.

We had just purchased a house. There's a bunch of logistics going on with that. And then there's like this whole wrap up of like getting all the party supplies back and deconstructed. Our families were, I will never forget getting the knock on the door at like 4 a.m. We'd been asleep for maybe two hours. And I was so mad. I was like, we aren't getting on a plane. Like, oh my gosh. No, you were very supportive. You were, you were not going to let me miss. my no i was just exhausted it was a long so we said oh and then there we almost the uh the flight i remember was packed first of all and we like we almost missed it or it was booked or oh oh there were uh it was over booked over booked and they were trying to kick us off for the next one and i was like

we can't do it yeah and then we got on the plane and we didn't have seats next to each other we just got married you know we were like we got married last night could someone switch us but I will never forget when we landed. It was really exciting. It was this new beginning, being married. Inventure. But we didn't know. We had now been within the NFL long enough to, like, understand how it all works.

So going to Oakland, we didn't rent, like, an apartment to our house to stay, and we agreed to stay in the hotel accommodations that they set us up in, which was the Hampton Inn at the end of the runway. Like the view, you'd open up the window, and it was like that. runway and every morning at like 6.30 planes taking off and you're like all right sweet and I remember that first day Andrew went off to his team meeting I took the car I drove into San Francisco and I was like you know what this is day one of our life together um I found a target I loaded up on groceries and a skillet electric skillet which I think is illegal and frowned upon yeah yeah don't do that in a hotel but we were on the first floor and we had two windows and I came home and I was like I'm going to cook us our first dinner as like married couple so I opened the windows turned on the skillet made kebabs

made a full salad and sides and everything and we just sat there together in our little hampton in a part or hampton inn room mind you it was not fancy it was not a bougie room that had like the living room with couch and it was like we were eating dinner on the bed yeah yeah yeah I remember there was no cell phone service either And like this was we had just gotten married And like people magazine and all those people wanted to do Uh interviews and it was always a nightmare to do that But it was such a good thing for us to go through, I feel like Because we had all this stuff planned out And it was a good lesson for us to learn that things don't always go

As you planned them, but that doesn't make it less of an adventure Actually quite the opposite you could say And those are some of the sweetest days of our young marriage, don't you think? They are. Okay. And we stayed out there. Yeah, we just got married. A couple months.

We stayed out there for months. Like, just in this hotel room, Sean and I, we were exploring the Bay Area. Which brings us. No. Which brings us to our last story. The last of this episode. I don't know how much to share of this. Reading, playing, learning.

So it was Andrew's birthday. What year was that? 2018.

It was year 2017, the season would have been 2018. So if I'm remembering correctly, it was after the miscarriage. Okay, great. So it was 2018. So, and I say that because I, it was after the miscarriage that we had, I was getting my body back, pushing away these thoughts of like I was ready to have a baby and get pregnant. I surprised Andrew after practice one day, which happened to be his birthday. and I had bought us plane tickets from it's like a little puddle jumper plane from Oakland to Napa Valley and I he had no idea what we were doing and I booked this beautiful

little cottage and I was like we're just going to go do a day in Napa Valley and I was like ready to like let loose and have fun with my husband and not worry about anything and we get there and I have, like, a car service waiting for us that's going to drive us from, like, vineyard to vineyard. I had planned out five vineyards. Essentially, it sounds way boozier than it is. It is. Because you have these wine tastings,

like, instead of having an Uber, you'll just, like, book, there's, like, a bunch of, like, tour services that you book for, like, six hours. Yes. So I booked a bunch of, like, really nice. Tastings. Tastings for us to go to.

And we get to the first one, and I'm so excited just to be like spinning time with you. It's been a wild year. Patroni. Yep. That was our first one. With the dog! I think it was Daisy.

Oh my gosh. We drove up to this first vineyard, which was like this cave in the side of the hills. And they, you walk to like the check in, like walk down the hill. You'll see the, you'll see the cave and Daisy will meet you and she'll show you where to go. Huge, huge great day. and we're like a dog and they're like yeah daisy and it's this massive great date and she literally like meets you turns around and walks you where you're supposed to go whatever so we start doing these tastings I have way too much confidence in myself Sean and I are like pretty competitive

in a healthy way but you got to think like when we travel it's like efficiency let's knock out as much as we can so Sean a book like four or five tastings I remember getting in the car and the driver's like wow we got a full day this is you sure you're up for this? And we were like, yes. And at each tasting, you're probably getting like two to three glasses of total wine. And Sean and I are lightweights. And if I drink two glasses, I'm tipsy. If I drink three, I'm drunk. This is back in the day when we used to drink wine. That was like a phase we went through and now we don't really do that anymore. So we got to like the third tasting.

I mean, really it was at the end of the second. We're like, this is going to be a haul. Andrew was like not he was not finishing his tasting glasses and I was like come on this is like the best wine and I was drinking the rest of his

this is all very poor choices guys but we got to like the third I think we got to the third one which had this like petting zoo oh my gosh and I will never forget I was a goner I was a goner

Oh, man. So, yeah, I had heard stories and was talking to the driver about, like, how we should do this. And he's like, well, you have a lot. So, like, make sure that you're either spitting out the wine after you taste it or not drinking the whole thing. Sean took that as, like, a challenge, which is not a good thing. That's fine. And so we get to this third one. We have a vlog about this. I think we got to pull that back and get some footage. Sean is just giggly and loopy And like that third tasting was the peak of it

The fourth tasting It started to like get a little concerning And then the fifth was like this restaurant They were going to eat dinner at And it was like Five o'clock right So you start at like noon and then we went to five She had booked this epic restaurant

Oh my gosh I'll never forget on the way there Sean got in an argument Which she never does with this Uber driver about I remember that. What was it about? Holistic medicine. Oh, my gosh.

It was hilarious. And they were just jib-jabbing. And then we get to the restaurant and Sean is just, she just goes quiet. She's not talking. She goes from super chatty to not talking at all. And she's just sitting there like, this happened. The only time I've ever seen her like this.

She's like sitting there smiling, just looking at me quiet. Like this. And she's like. I think we should go. And so we had let the driver loose. He was done for the day. So we had to get an Uber. Got an Uber.

And this is like my birthday dinner. I was like pumped, you know? It had been a hilarious day with Sean. We get this Uber. We get in the car. And she like lays on my lap. And then she looks at me. And you know, like when people do that,

and you're like, this is not going to end well. We had to pull over. on the highway. Yeah. So I could puke on the side of the interstate. Yeah. Multiple times. And then we got back in and got back to our place.

No. We pulled through the gates of our place. And I had to get out again. And there was a whole bus loaded tourists. There was a whole bus of tourists. And they were all like, Sean Johnson. They were like, Sean. The bus driver walks off and hands me napkins.

Oh. I was so embarrassed. I walked back to like our little cottage and I walked straight into the bathroom, which had a heated floor, which was amazing. That was fantastic. And I passed out. Not like passed out. So it's like 545 at this point.

It was like opening weekend in the NFL. And I thought Sean were going to have this big night romantic, you know, maybe get some naked time in there. Sean went to bed at 545. It was done for the night. I'm watching the Raiders game. Yeah. By myself on my birthday. it's like seven six o'clock and the the long snaver gets hurt because I wasn't assigned at this time

I was bouncing around longs never gets hurt I get a call like during the game and they're like hey we need you at a tryout tomorrow morning so it worked out great because we're like 45 minutes away but we need you here tomorrow morning like ready to go like we're going to sign you because this guy got hurt this is another NFL just faux paw on my my I'm absolutely told so many. There's all these reasons why I didn't make the NFL, and it's becoming apparent that it's my fault. No wonder I didn't make it. We had just had this big day drinking wine, and I show up at this tryout. Would not recommend, but I had not drink that much wine. It was a crazy series of events, though. A memorable birthday, for sure. The place you booked

was beautiful, and I did not make the Raiders, long story short. But it was a fun. Not because me no no no uh i guess we need to go yeah um we have we have like this whole list of stories we've maybe told 10 out of 50 so i hope you're enjoying this series thank you for listening i'm andrew i'm sean and we are idiots yes that's all we got that's all we got till next time see you Thank you.
