What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a couple things. With Sean and Andrew. Today is another interesting one where I'm so curious why you guys are so curious about all this. But it's nothing is off limits. Part three. That's right. We took to social media and said nothing's off limits.

What do you want to know? And I already know what we're going to talk about. There's going to be one topic that everyone wants to know about. And I guess it's just this human psyche phenomenon where all you want to do, is know about someone's sex life. Yeah. So we're going to address this with tact and with respect. Yeah.

And probably not directly answer some of these questions. But we're going to do our best. We'll answer as much as we can. I have not looked through the questions, but I already know. I already know. Okay. Anyway, we got to talk about the featured comment of the week. This one's from Heather H.

Who says, I watch people on YouTube all the time, and you guys are the only ones I'm actually subscribed to. Love your content. You two are so genuine and such real people. I've been married for 18 years to my high school sweetheart, and I could still learn things from you about relationships and goals. Wow. Love to hear that. Congrats on 18 years of marriage. Thank you for subscribing. And if you're listening, you haven't subscribed, please subscribe to the show. It is free. And if you do that, then for the 76% of people who are not subscribed, we will make the promise to you that we're going to continue to put effort and energy into making the best episodes we can. that's our promise to you, but thank you. What? I'm just going to say, I don't think these questions are going to be about sex.

Really? Yeah. I am fascinated. I'm fascinated. We do, however, and I did cut you off a little bit, I apologize. No, that's good. We do, however, have 27 questions below. So, let's in the middle route do these slightly rapid fire.

I love that. This episode is based on a previous episode we did that was one of the best ever called NeverTMI and you guys loved it. We did feel a little awkward, but it was really fun to read through what you all wanted to know about us. Obviously, it's our life. Everything kind of feels obvious about what we're doing. If you were to say, what's the number one asked question we get when it comes to the never TMI topic? What do you think it is? How do you keep it spicy or something along those lines?

Or like how often? I feel like that's the most asked question all the time. Everyone's different. But if we didn't get your question, then stay tuned. We might do a part two. But shall we jump in? We shall. First question.

What's the most appreciated way to interact with you guys if I saw you in public? Or should I come up and say hi or no? That's a Sean question. People coming up to me? No. Actually, it has been happening more. It has been happening a lot. A lot of people recognize Sean. I think it's just such a delight.

I think it's so fun that we really do have this group of people that, like, you know, we're all a similar style, I think. Yeah. But what do you think? I feel like I'm going to answer this question not in a rapid fire way. Let me give you some nuances here. please come up to us and please say hi we love it there are a couple situations though where i would say think about it maybe and take a second before you think like this is a good time

or a bad time i get a little protective when i'm with my kids so if it's if it's just me and not me andrew and i have my kids with me i get a little protective just because um Drew has started asking questions like why aren't people asking for pictures with her just naturally with her age and then I don't really like to include them in pictures so then if I am solo I don't know how to say like guys stand here for a second so that gets a little complicated um I have been asked for pictures in bathrooms don't ever ask someone or approach someone in a bathroom actually that kind of happens often it happens often yeah just wait till someone's out of the bathroom. Like, I feel like that's just like a place where you're kind of doing your thing, you know, and you feel a little vulnerable. Are you just in there blowing up the toilet and someone's... There's something weird about sitting on a toilet and opening a stall and someone be like, hey, are you Sean John? Like, it just feels a little like, eh. And then I would also say a hard time. And that comes into our values. Is like, if we're, if someone is like eating

with their family at a restaurant and like sitting at a table and eating, I would say wait till like they get up to leave before coming over. But I don't know, the style matters. Like if we have a mutual friend or you had something that you want to ask, if it's just like a fan girl moment

and that kind of throws off the vibes. But like, you know, when we would go out to eat when I was a kid, people would approach my dad and ask him like, hey, we haven't met, but I know Jerry and whatever, whatever. And so it's like, that's fine. You know, let's make it a community event as opposed to I can't believe that it's Sean. It's crazy.

We were walking through the airport the other day and multiple people were shaking and crying after seeing you. I know that's the life you've lived for the last 20. You've lived that life for 21 years. That's crazy. I'm old. Next. Honestly, last thought. Sean stewards this incredibly well.

Your humility through it all. You're level-headedness. I have grown to appreciate that so much more. Honestly, it's not easy to keep it as stoic and balanced and grounded as you do. Thank you. I never want to take advantage of the, or like forget the idea that like it is such a blessing. And I'm so honored when people come up to us and I feel humbled. I've never gotten used to it.

And I always kind of feel awkward. So I apologize if I feel awkward. But yeah. I'd say the only time I have a hard time is like when I get protective over our babies. I'll say this about fame too, generally. I think it can be a really dangerous thing to play with and it should be navigated with caution and with wisdom.

But there is something really beautiful about a little bit of fame that's not destructive to your everyday habits or routines in the fact that a little bit of fame greases the social wheels and it's like you just have more interactions I think and there's more possibility to maybe have a positive impact

on someone's life rather than like the cold sale or the cold hello of like yo this is like we're starting from scratch here it puts you a little it puts both parties in a little warmer spot you know anyway next

do you ever get sick of each other be honest Yes. One, two. Never. I'm kidding. Yes. I always love him, but I get sick of you. I think it's good to do things independently sometimes.

You get sick of me? I think we each have, we have a lot of shared hobbies. I think we have different intensities with which we pursue those hobbies. And it's nice to be able to pursue my hobbies and the way I want to, when I want to, how. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes. Sometimes. Yeah.

Next. Sean, have you ever gotten lip filler? They look great. And if so, I want the same kind. Yes. I got them before kids. Never after kids. I didn't like it.

I'm so anti-lip filler. It felt so weird to kiss you. No, here's my whole thing. I don't have it anymore. What do you mean? What do you mean? mean, what do you mean? It just evaporates? Yes. It dissolves. Where? You, do you? Your body just breaks it down. Into the bathroom when someone's annoying you. I think, Sean, you were fearfully and wonderfully made.

Don't freaking touch it. Okay. You know what? You've gotten more beautiful with age. No, I'm fired up right now. So why are you trying to preserve some younger iteration or false consciousness? Did you hear my answer? when it's like, that's a freaking dime piece right there. He didn't hear, he doesn't understand the answer. The last time I got lip filler was six years ago. You have to get it like at least annually, if not like quarterly. It feels very permanent to me. And it's the principle of it.

If you're sitting there looking at the mirror saying, I wish I was different in XYZ way, I think that's not giving. how God made you enough appreciation. Thank you. So, no, I don't have any lip filler now. Let's just say that. All right, all right.

Do you think you're beautiful? I think, yes. Do you look at your own? I think I'm stunning. I think that's, I think it's important to know that you were made beautifully. I think, I feel beautiful when I'm with you. I like that. Okay.

I'm glad to hear that. How often do you talk to each other about what you like or dislike in sexy time? There we go. There it is. How often do we talk about this? We're not having sit down debrief meetings, I'll tell you that much. I would say once every five naked times. Yeah, we're like, how's it going?

Like, after the fact is like a quick little. What'd you think? How you doing? I think that's about right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. When did you both become a Christian?

Can you share some of your testimony? It's a stark jump. That is. We were both born and raised in, like, Christian households. I became more and more curious as I traveled the world solo and got to witness a lot of people's lifestyles and kind of saw lifestyles that I liked more than others and values and traditions and they all kind of pointed towards Christianity and then I'd say my largest curiosity sparked meeting Andrew and I got to like learn more and more and more and

we got baptized now I'm a die hard you're really wearing the jersey and everything we got got baptized together in 2017 or 18 yeah in Des Moines Iowa I grew up my parents were Christian very grateful for that and then we did young life growing up which was really great but I would say uh saw you know I was like always I probably was like five years old when I first said the prayer but a pivotal moment in my life was when I was with the chiefs And there was new religions, I won't specifically name them, but like newer religions that were prominent amongst the coaching staff. And it really challenged me to like dig in and question why I'm believing what I am believing.

And that's kind of, that was kind of like when I really planted the flag, if you will. But I will also answer this question. Like I feel like I'm becoming a Christian more and more every day. Like it really is one of those things that, It's just a choice you make. There's no convincing. There's no apologetics. There's no theological argument or historical argument that's going to say,

this is the absolute truth. There you go. You got it. Like you figured it out. There's nothing. It's a choice. And then depending on which choice of worldview you choose to wear, Christian or non-Christian or whatever your flavor is,

like, then you will almost start to aggregate and attract all of the, all of the proof that you need. Mm-hmm. But like, it says, believe in me and then you will know. And that's kind of crazy, like the belief comes first. So I don't know. That's just a challenge because I've been thinking about, can you convince someone to have faith? And the answer is no.

But I will say, we used to think in younger days, like, oh, I think maybe all gods are the same. I didn't really know. I didn't really dig into the differences between. the religions. And there is, if you look at the concept of who religion A says God is versus who Christianity says God is, there's nothing like the Christian concept of God. Very different. There's a book called God has a name by John Mark Homer. I would highly recommend you reading it. It's really fascinating. But the humility and the greatness of Jesus

as described in the Bible that is a concept of God you can't find anywhere else. So there you go. It'll change your life though. It will change your life. I would highly recommend it. Highly recommend.

Here's how it'll change your life. Here's how. There's all these embedded beneficial things that humans can do. I can think about quiet time or reflection

or gratitude dude just psychologically yeah those things are beneficial you layer on to that this type of humility or this um belief in like a whimsical miraculous possibility you layer onto this uh hope like do you have hope i don't know that's that's fascinating do you have hope in something i think that can change your world and we talked about this like mDR there's like this psychological thing. It's a treatment that helps deal with trauma. That's like, that's kind of baked in

these repositioning and reframings of what happens. It's baked into Christianity. Those are just the fruits of it. But you actually get to the heart of why you should honor God, then you're on to something. Next question. I like when you get passionate

and go off. Next question says, will you tell your kids about your success or let them figure it out on their own? Do they already know? um no we're never going to sit them down and be like listen this is what we did you know this is who we were back in the day but very naturally our kids have asked us questions over the years already of like mommy what is that leotard hanging in a frame or like daddy what is the jersey for uh how did you just do that backflip why did someone ask for your picture like it it it slowly

like unveils itself but my goal in life is to prop them up not prop myself up you've done a great job at that with teaching drew about the treasures god has given us and i think ultimately sean and i don't want to talk about the results that we have wound up with yeah by a certain type of prepared luck i'll call it but we're trying to teach them about what led to that or you know Because the end point of a path might be different for whoever. But the way to get to that path and walk down that in a way with integrity, I think, is the same. So it's like, hey, you were made for a reason with certain skills and weaknesses. And then are you stewarding them well?

Are you practicing? Are you learning? Are you getting mentorship? Are you engaging with this? Are you disciplined with it? Like, you know, Sean doing all of those things I just said resulted in her doing gymnastics and resulted in a gymnastics gold medal. That might end up with Drew doing gymnastics, yes, but it might, that, the destination of

that path might be different. You know, it's not the, it's not the destination, it's the journey, I guess. Anything else there? Yeah, I feel like we could do an entire podcast on that. but Drew especially is in this phase of like whatever she does. She's like, did you do that when you were a kid? Or would you wear this or would you, whatever. It's all comparative.

And if I say no, she gets shut down a little bit. But the way we've been approaching it is like, no. But mommy did something different. Like I found this and I loved this. And you have found this and you love that. And it's just like they're learning more and more about us through their adventures, if that makes sense. Yeah.

So I would answer this question. We will not tell them about the success we've had. We will tell them about what we've learned and whatever we've experienced. Yeah. That makes sense? Yeah. So I guess that would entail telling them about certain ways

we have become success. But we're not going to be like, did you know Mommy was an Olympic medal is? Yeah. No. Okay. Andrew, what is your favorite thing? Sean wears. Oh, baby. I like this question. I like this question. Overalls? Giggity, giggyty. I love you. I love you. I love you.

I love you. Okay. It is Sean wears. I do like you naked. Yeah. That is a fun, fun event. Yeah. Overalls. But dresses. That's a stark contrast. I love Sean and dresses, too. Yes. And honestly, your fashion I really vibe with. I'm grateful for that.

Thank you. But let me say this too, though. Let me say this. Because this makes me think, is there's an allusion to the past question? Like, if there is something about your thing that you want to change, then I think there's a process to get there.

Like, is there work involved? There's no, don't take the shortcut. You know what I'm saying? Anderson, like, the deep thought right now. What am I changing with? I'm just saying if you want to become something that you're not either just reconcile that maybe that's not for you or become the type of person that does that thing whatever it is how does that pertain to clothing Andrew I was just I'm still fired up about that last one I'm ready for

the next question why isn't someone standing up to change women's leotards and gymnastics they're pretty revealing and can be distracting that's your problem not theirs thank you move on Oh, interesting. I think leotards are incredibly functional for gymnastics. And they're no different than a speedo swimsuit that someone's wearing. That is your problem. No one else's. Wow.

Also, the laws in gymnastics clearly state that gymnasts can wear unitards if they would like. But do you know why they're not? And there are girls wearing unitards in competition. that question makes me man. I've never heard you talk about it. It's just ridiculous. It's like, why isn't someone standing up to change it? I don't think I've heard any gymnast ever have an issue with it.

And it's too distracting for someone to watch. That is 100% their fault. You're focusing on something you shouldn't be focusing on. Hmm. how about diving there were in a lot less than us is that too distracting for you to watch

but do you think there's something too the fact that there is a possibility of it being distracting that like should be a direct I don't

because I think within sport if you lay out every sport under the sun for the most part we live in a day and time where uniforms have been optimized for their sport my leotards were so custom made and so like tailored to my body i knew when i went out and performed i would never even think about my leotard because it was a second skin to me it optimized my performance I didn't have to worry about things getting caught or dragging or ripping or moving or nothing.

Like it was truly made for me. Now, are there potentially leotards that have been worn in the past that have maybe revealed too much? Sure. But I bet that was on accident. And my issue with it as a woman in a sport who wears a leotard, similar to diving, swimming. There's a bunch of them. It's like, appreciate the sport.

Don't sexualize the competitor because of what goes into it. Does that make sense? Yeah. I think I need to think about this a little more. I'm just trying to think like school dress codes. What's that heart behind that? Is there any overlap with, like, why?

I know, but then you're, like, triathletes. Runners, divers, synchronized swimmers, water polo, Michael Phelps, Missy Franklin. If you're talking about a universal dress code for the world, that is completely unrealistic. No, no, no, no, no. I'm trying to, like, why do people have dress? What's the point of a dress code?

Anyway, you're saying a gymnast wearing a leotard is like wearing a football player wearing helmet of shoulder pads. A thousand percent. It is purely functional. I cannot go do gymnastics in a t-shirt and shorts. Yeah. Or long leggings.

And... Some people do, though. Some people choose to. Yeah. The sport allows that. but I think what I'm trying to say is like there is a reason 99.9% of the gymnast competing

are actively choosing a leotard over a unitarred. Yeah. And my issue with the comment and the question is they are pretty revealing and can be distracting. Distracting to a viewer. And what I'm saying is that is

them problem and not a us problem. If my bare legs are distracting you from my performance, that is a thousand percent on you, and that is not my fault. If you can't watch Michael Phelps swim and appreciate his God-given speed because he's wearing a speedo that distracts you, that is a you problem. Okay. All right. Does that make sense?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it sounds like there. equating dress code to more of like a hey this is uh this is what should be expected if you're just like on the street kind of thing and you're saying no this is a whole different game because this is for the function of sport to make my gymnastics moves yes possible but they're like if you want to if you want to blanket that and say you shouldn't wear a leotard on the street it it no that's getting out of context of the question the question is why isn't someone standing up to change women's leotards in gymnastics yeah pisses me off okay next

That's fracture me.com. Go ahead. Redeem yourself and fracture it. Have you ever considered plastic surgery? And if so, where?

I'll answer for me. No. Go ahead. If I'm being honest, I have rabbit hold and black hold myself in phases of life of insecurity. so yes but i have never chosen to do it my biggest source of insecurity for many many many years was i had very very large breasts and i could never hide them enough i did not want boobs to show I didn't want no boobs, but I had very large boobs And I looked into reductions many, many times

It was just not my thing And then I had kids and they went away So God took them away Next, if any of your kids came to you with a team pregnancy How would you handle it? Whoa Yeah

I will love them, no matter what. I mean, no matter, we say it every day, no matter what they do, no matter who they are, I will always love them and that will never waver. What would I do? I mean, you probably don't, if it was an accident or like an oops and not a planned thing, I mean, it's not ideal for your child,

but if one of our kids came to us as a teenager pregnant, it'd be like, okay, here we go. There'd be a lot of conversations. One, that we will have before they become teenagers that maybe will change their perspective on things, but also we'd have a lot of conversations if that was a scenario. And yeah, I would say we'd handle it with love. We would be raising a child.

We're excited to be grandparents. Yeah. That's freaking whack. That baby will be with us. thought about yourself as a grandparent? It's crazy. Wow. Dude, I'm barely just walking into the parent shoes right now.

Yeah. Next, are Shana Nostia still friends? Sure are. Sure are. Next, how do you find the energy to get jiggy with it with three kids? It feels literally impossible. Oh, I got the energy. Yeah.

yeah I don't know how to answer that question we prioritize each other yeah and also there's like there's phases where you have a little more inclination towards that than other times

and it's like don't get discouraged have conversations make the presence of or absence of sex an avenue towards vulnerability and connection You know what I'm saying? Yes.

So don't have it be like this awkward elephant in the room that you're not addressing. Say, hey, I'm actually just, I'm overwhelmed and I have no energy. And then it's like, wow, now we're off to the races, man. This is good. Yeah. We talk all the time. Intimacy is more of like the physical side of things. I feel like an indicator and like compass maybe than it is the end-l-be-all for Sean and I.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But next question. How do you guys handle talking about ghost and spirit as a Christian with your kids? God's got you. Yeah, the kids are in a monster phase, kind of. Also, there's a couple of toys that had glow in the dark eyes. It makes me so mad.

What are we doing? So Jet the other night was hysterically crying. And I kept going back to his room and I was like, baby, what's going on? Like, the eyes are glowing. And I was like, one, trying not to get freaked out as an adult. It's nothing. It's a reflection, whatever. And he's got this, like, shelf right, you know, directly across from his bed.

So if he was looking, laying down, he would be seeing the shelf. And on the shelf, there's, like, framed pictures. He's got, like, his little soccer trophy. And I kept thinking there was something reflecting. Like, he was seeing something reflecting. And I was like, baby, there's nothing in your room. And we always say, like, I drew, went through this phase of nightmares

she kept thinking lava was going to come get her thank you Moana the lava when the mountain turns into the lava woman that terrified her but we always go through this like same thing where we say some sort of prayer like God fill my dreams tonight with whatever they

talk about motocross bicycles as jet or butterflies and rainbows is true but then I also say like God has built an armor around your room no monsters whatever season of life they're in. If it's Halloween, it's usually like skeletons or ghosts or something that the world is kind of planted in their brain. But the eyes. I was like, baby, God's got you.

There's an arm around your room. It's totally fine. I took the trophy down. I took the pictures down. And then like 10 minutes later would start happening again. I was like, what is happening? And so finally, I went in there and I was like, baby, we turned off all the lights. I shut the door. I like sat with him for a second. And I start noticing it. A freaking kids stuff. left animal has glow in the dark eyeballs. Whoever created that should be fired. That's crazy. We threw it away.

But we don't talk about ghosts and spirits a lot in our household. We don't really discuss the unseen realm like that as much in that sense. But I do think of the Vegtail song. God is bigger than the boogie man. He's bigger than God too. And that's kind of the approach we take. We prop got up for them as being like the world's greatest monster killer. I like that take.

Yeah. Would you ever sell picks of your feet for money? I don't know. Things got rough. No. I was curious. I've never asked you that question. No.

People do love Sean's feet. I remember multiple social media. accounts. It's disgusting. About Sean's feet. See, this is a them problem. Same thing. Cover your feet up. What made you decide to show your kids' faces

on social media? I feel like a lot of people are hiding their kids' faces all of a sudden. We go back and forth. We're not trying to expose our children. We're showing our life. It's not about our children. it's about us I do think social media is not going away yeah it's a constant conversation I have thoughts on this um one we're always open to the conversation of are we protecting

our kids or not yeah so we're open to any thoughts or input in that regard because our priority is to protect our kids um i think that there's a lot of different shades of family content on the internet some are like scripted reality some are shareable home videos like us and um we have seen and experience the joy of the community that we built on social media it has its downsides so does any good thing you know what i'm saying um but there has been a community built and so our corner of the internet that we live in is nice and cozy and friendly and people are great uh and so i hope it stays that way we do we actively protect that and actively build that um i also think that like we have filmed the phase of life that we're in

no matter what that is i grew up my i've told this story but my dad my dad my dad has videos of him as a one-year-old celebrating Christmas because my grandpa was obsessed with filming. My dad was obsessed with filming. I'm obsessed with filming. We have archives, all of this stuff. So we're just kind of continuing that iteration. And I guess doing it in a more public way.

But it's cool that we get to do this. And the phase of life that we're in is... parenting like we're that's what we think about that's what we spend our time doing that's what we love and that's what we have filmed for the last nine years of doing social media and that's what we're filming now so that's part of it but i think a hard i think the question is really hard because i don't think there's a right answer i don't think there's a wrong answer i constantly get caught up on this question with myself we ask a lot of friends we have friends who work in, you know, the police department

and we have friends in the FBI. And, like, I want to answer it in the sense of, like, we never know if we're doing the best thing we can, but we are always trying to do the best, if that makes sense. And that does not come blindly to us. That comes, like, with a lot of thought and a lot of mentors around us trying to help us navigate this crazy life we've been given

in the best way possible for everyone. Yeah. Yeah. And it's allowed us to spend more time with our kids and spend more time as a family, which we're super grateful for and that's important to us. I also think understanding our specific stories important. I think Sean turned professional at age 12 in gymnastics

and had global news outlets shaping narratives for at a very young age. And so not all of those are positive. And Sean didn't have control. over, you know, what they were sharing. There's a couple of, like, super harmful, mean things, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

But, uh, but, Sean's story of being an Olympic medalist and doing all the cool things you have, inevitably to some degree will create this interest in the kids. Yeah. And so if anyone's going to shape that narrative, it'll be us because we want to protect them. So it's out of this protection,

but you are a celebrity, Sean. So it's like, Okay, what do we do with that? I have more thoughts, but it seems like you're ready to move on. We have also consulted professionals and gotten wisdom to navigate this well. And I think a very honest answer is we don't know either. Nobody knows what social media is going to become. Nobody knows how long it will be around.

Like definitively. Yeah. We don't know the repercussions. we don't like we don't know yeah okay you guys big announcement it has been about three months since and i launched our favorite project to date beam kids an all-in-one superfood powder we co-founded with beam and now we're launching our second flavor cookie let's go what kid doesn't love cookie flavored anything this is truly it is delicious it's our daughter's favorite Our kids specifically, Drew, love this flavor.

We were desperate to find a solution for picky eaters to get all their essential vitamins, and it's been so rewarding to hear how many of you love Beam kids as much as we do. We actually get stopped in the hallways at school, out on the street. At the airport. We've heard multiple stories of parents whose kids were in eating therapy, feeding therapy, for multiple years, and then they tried Beam, and it's been so helpful. So it really is a perfect combination of health for kids. less stress for parents. We originally launched a chocolate flavor and it was such a hit. It

tastes just like delicious chocolate milk and you guys were loving it so we thought, why not drop another flavor kids would love? We are so excited about the cookie flavor. Our kids perfected the flavor. They were the ones in the lab with us and we're the ultimate taste testers for this particular flavor. Honestly, it's been a really fun project to do together and with the kids and to hear your feedback. But anyway, if you're new here, Beam Kids is one scoop a day of 40 plus essential nutrients plus probiotics and prebiotics all in a flavor that your kids actually want. And the ingredients are super clean. Yes. That was obviously a non-negotiable for us. And here's the exciting part. You're getting early access starting tomorrow before the official launch of

I've never said to you like it. It's just fascinating. So it's like a fun thing to just be around all day. Your eyeballs? Look, like I got like this flabby skin. Sean's is like, you touch the skin and you touch muscle. No, it's not the same. But.

And so my muscles are your favorite. Yeah. No, you're smiling and then your muscles. All right. What's the best advice you would get? of each other, would you, you would each give

to your past lowest self? Oh, interesting. What's the best advice you would each give to your past

lowest self? And there's a couple lows that I've experienced. I was saying at the lowest of my NFL phase, I would tell them that

just know that life comes in phases, comes in seasons. So, press through and give God's faithfulness time to play itself out. That's what's happened, you know? Don't get too discouraged. Stay in motion and with God.

I think some of my hardest, lowest times were when I was young, like 16, 17, 18, in the public eye, I would say, oh, I don't know. and just give her a hug I was such a people pleaser I didn't know what else to do back then so I was trying so desperately hard to like make everyone happy and keep the peace amongst everyone around me

and that just meant sacrificing anything that I wanted to do for other people if that makes sense and I would say one I would just tell her it's not always going to be like this you like won't always be like that And then two, just like, you have value from God in just being nothing but you.

I think that took me a really long time to learn. I thought my value is in how I performed and what I did for everyone around me. I didn't know I had it without anything. That's really good. How do you stay so humble with your status and do you ever feel like having a high income makes it hard to relate to people

of a different status? I stay so humble. God. I would say it keeps us humble. And do I have a hard time relating? I don't think so because our life looks very, very, very different than how

I was raised. Does that make sense? Does that make you less relatable? Or you're saying your roots are in? I'm saying I feel like I can relate to a lot of different people because I have been in a lot of different situations. What do you think? I think our identity is in loving God and loving people. And it's not in a status or income.

And because of that, change of focus, like, that helps. I think generosity helps. And so we're always connecting with and engaging with people of all, like every, every place on the spectrum. And, and,

and, yeah. Those are my thoughts. How do you say humble? I like Sean's answer to God. Also, Sean keeps me humble. Thank goodness. Sean will always outshine me in any way. And she's always reminding me that I have a long way to go.

And so I would say marriage. Whoa, that makes me sound brutal. No, not like that. I'm saying... Same. Our whole thing is we're never resting on the laurels. Like, kicking back. That's just not our operating system.

It's always we have to stay in shape. We have to stay diligent here. We have to clean up the house. It's like there's not a lot of, um, we are content, but we're not. We also say to keep ourselves humble, to make sure our, like, priorities are in the right place. We ask ourselves weekly, if we lost absolutely everything today, would we be okay? Like, would it change anything? Like, no.

Yeah. we also have a team around us who helps us make good decisions and so inevitably it's not like our decisions that are leading to our success so it's like you know there's an acknowledgement that we have very little to do with yeah with any of this on many different levels anyway next would you and Andrew ever get publicly involved in politics no would you no it goes back to the last thing we we prioritize loving God loving people and I feel like just sets a topic where it creates more divisiveness and it does connection involved in the sense of like serving publicly like that definition of politics yes I'm not saying I would be a politician I'm saying community involvement

like that vanilla interpretation I'm not saying you don't want to be president no but I don't know how they meant that question we're not going to start slinging political views left and right how do you not have resentment when you're solo parenting while the other person is on a trip or having fun. We've grown here. Yeah, we've grown a lot here. We've also, like, we're trying really hard to serve each other. And we're both agreeing with the trips that we're going on,

and we're both actively doing it for one another. Yeah. Next. Where do you see your family in 10 years? Together. Yeah. In Nashville, probably. Yeah.

Ten years, Drew, will be 15. That's crazy. Yeah, it'll be 13, and bear will be 11. Yeah. I don't know. I don't need to know, but we'll be together. Yeah. What would you say you struggle with more if you had to pick one?

Jealousy, greed, or insecurity? Insecurity. Jealousy. And I've tried to be open with Sean about that in certain ways where it's like, man, why do I feel this way? It's the, like, my life, I'm so pleased and grateful with. But it's just like this thing, freaking, can't get it out of your brain. And I try to be really open about insecurities when I'm having a hard time

or when I'm dipping somewhere. And Andrew helps me keep me on track. Why did you want to buy CrossFit? And are you going to? We wanted to be involved in this group because CrossFit is really a community and that is really powerful. So just to clarify, it's not like Sean and Andrew

in CrossFit, but... We would see it as an opportunity for everyone in the CrossFit community to have a piece of the pie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you say you keep your word or are flaky with plans? We've gotten better at this. I think we're good.

Yeah. We prioritize our family and our kids. So at the end of the day, if we've made plans and it ends up conflicting with our family or our kids aren't in a good place or whatever, then we're flaky. Yeah. And that, yeah.

That's tough. That's stressful for both her and I. But we have kept each other in check with this. And, yeah, if it's on the schedule, we're going to be there unless something extraneous comes up. But we've tried to put less things on the schedule. So we used to be saying yes to a lot of things and be flaky with a lot of that. That was so much a source of our frustration. Now we've said yes to fewer things, and so we're less flaky.

Yep. But we have our moments. Did Andrew get to pick his jersey number in college or the NFL? If so, why did he pick that one? I did in college. I picked 34. Why? Psalm 34, actually.

Yeah. In high school, I was 25. And then in college, I chose 24. Do you want to read the verse? There's a couple parts that I like. So, let's see. I will extol the Lord at all times. His praise will always be on my life.

lips all glory in the lord let the afflicted here and rejoice glorify the lord with me let us exalt his name together there's a couple cool verses would highly recommend reading it but and then if i did not get to choose my number i was 48 i was 51 55 a bunch of random numbers depending on the team but there you have it never team i nothing's off limits we did just choose jets jersey number seven it looks good it looks really good a holy number

yeah and your lucky number is 19 19 all right thanks for listening let's know if you have any other never to you my questions or nothing off limit questions

and we'll try to get to them maybe we'll do part two but thanks for listening if you made it this far please subscribe to the show and give it a rating I'm Andrew I'm Sean

see you next time
