What's up, everybody? Welcome back to a couple things. With Sean and Andrew. Today's another fun one. It's reacting to your most embarrassing stories. I love these because if you guys have been with us for a while, we have shared all of our embarrassing stories. We probably should do another one and share some more because I feel like we're racking them up, you know? Yeah, we're just piling on the embarrassing stories.

But you like these because you get to hear, you got to spread the love a little bit. Yeah. Let me just add one for you real quick. I don't even know if you know about this but we are recently working with the military and we were out in the middle of the mountains

and in order to go to the bathroom you had to just like pop a squat and I went and popped a squat on the side of the mountain where I thought nobody would see and as I'm like full pants down going doing my business what comes around the mountain

but the helicopter filled with all the guys that's pretty funny yeah everybody said anything to you from the helicopter there's no post comments made no post comments but i mean it was obviously in an interaction you know that's funny yeah wow yeah you did not tell me that yeah uh today we have a comment from beka smith as a comment of the week she said started listening to your guys podcast and appreciate your mindset faith and family approach listening to the interview with hunter and devon where you discuss the postpartum protocol you follow it as a couple would you mind sharing that i'm 33 weeks pregnant with our first baby and would love guidance on preventative measures what's fun is uh we actually

were able to send her a link with the things that we do as ridiculous and potentially unhelpful as they may be um i feel like it was helpful for us to at least have somewhere to start and say hey this is the game plan of how we're going to try to avoid this and work together and then you know we evolved and grew as a team that's good i love how if you guys aren't familiar with the protocol you should run them through it but it is completely formulated and put together by you which i think just is really endearing and goes to show how amazing of a team that you are yeah yeah but again it might not be helpful at all so give them like a quick a quick summary of your protocol postpartum. I think it's like 12 different things that we try to do. Some of them

are be outside as much as possible. Even if I didn't want to go outside, Andrew would like set up the coziest chair in the sunlight and almost like come grab my hand and very gently like take me out there. People who have had kids, you know that for six weeks, it's like a weird haze of life that you're living in. So a little sunshine goes a long way. Only watch comedy movies. You're going to watch anything. If anyone offers to help you, take them up on that. So those are a couple things.

Mealtrains are, I used to, before we went into kids, I was like, oh, I don't want a meal train. You know, I've pickier preferences or whatever it is. No, meal trains are absolutely incredible. I agree. I agree. Incredible. Okay. Because it actually allows the community of people around you, though.

be a community. It's nice. So that's a nice little heartwarming start to the episode. Let's get to the nitty gritty. Let's get to the juice, shall we? Yeah. So we thought it would be fun to read some of your most embarrassing stories since we've shared so many of ours.

You sent us these via Instagram. If you don't follow us there, head on over and give us a follow. We put out way more content on Instagram than we do here on YouTube, just because it's easier, too, frankly. But you can also follow our podcast, Instagram, if you're not already. So you can participate in the next time we do an episode like this. So you already shared an embarrassing story. Do you want to share one?

Do you have any new ones? I don't right now. I don't, but I'll start making notes. Okay. So I can share them later. We have 17 stories. You want to start with the first one? Sure.

From page. I was staying over at the in-laws house. they go out for the evening, or so we thought. Husband and I take advantage of alone time. Spicy, spicy time commences. Mother-in-law walks right in. Full view of the spicy nakedness that is happening. We could have picked a better place to do it,

but hey, life happens. I helped her put groceries away 10 minutes later. Wow, 10 minutes. It would have been two for us, you know what I'm saying? Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. Could you, I could not imagine if my mother-in-law Yeah, that'd be tough

Yeah, that'd be tough I don't want any parents or kids I don't want any direct family No I don't even want the dog Yeah Like the dog needs locked out of the room Yeah

I feel like really anyone else outside of parents or kids Or yeah I could cope with Friends We have a story there Yeah But we had, we, we unfortunately had a friend. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. Anyway. All right. Page actually has two stories. Or second is, I was so sleep deprived in the trenches with the newborn. I'm on phone call, leaving a message for a doctor's appointment. I end the call with, thanks. Can we call back in Jesus' name, amen?

That's great. Oh, that's funny. That's amazing. I think we can hang with Paige. We're getting any of this page. Thanks for sharing those page. You got Megan. Okay.

Megan says I was 30 years old and heading into my first colonoscopy due to symptoms I was having. When the procedure was complete, my nurse just kept giggling while she was working on the discharge paperwork. I kept asking, what was so funny? Next, the doctor came in. He said that the procedure went great and kept smirking himself. So I said, what's so funny? He then proceeded to tell me that while I was getting my anesthesia, I proceeded to look at him, spank my bare butt, and ask him, Are you ready for this?

No way. He laughed and laughed and said it will be a moment he remembers and shares with colleagues forever. That's awesome. These are fantastic so far. These are fantastic.

Oh, my gosh. Oh my gosh. I can only imagine what doctors hear and see as patients are going under. Oh, man. One thing Sean and I are always trying to do, especially with everything we've got going on on a day-to-day basis, is eat clean and fuel our bodies in a way that actually supports how we want to feel.

We're pretty health-conscious people, wouldn't you say, babe? I think for sure. And that's why we're big fans of high-protein zero-sugar snacks like chomps. We love that they use real, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, like 100% grass-fed and finished beef, antibiotic-free turkey, and no weird additives or sugars. It's just real protein and spices, which is really rare to find. Protein is in, too, right now, babe.

Protein is in. And if getting enough protein is important to you like it is for us, each chomp sticks has over 10 grams of protein and zero grams of sugar. Yes, it does. Whether we're headed to the gym, chasing kids, or running between meetings, it's a kind of snack that keeps us going without compromising what we're putting in our bodies or leaving us feeling, you know, sluggish. Yeah.

Our office is always stocked with every kind of chomp stick out there, but our team's favorite is currently the jalapeno beef. We keep them in the car, gym bags, even the diaper bag because, let's be honest, life doesn't slow down

and we get hangary. Hangary. I mean, I get hangary. So if you're looking for a high-quality protein snack that actually tastes good, Choms is where it's at. Get 15% off plus free shipping on your next order of chomps.

I didn't see his truck or car anywhere. He just came around to the backyard and started playing with our pool water. We made eye contact from the window, and he said, hey, can you please let me in? I need to talk to someone, and you won't answer the door. I was so scared I called the police. The police game, ran after him, and then I realized he was actually just our pool guy. He had parked down the street So he didn't block our driveway

And he was asking for me to let him in Because he rang the doorbell twice To talk to someone About the poor quality of our pool water And the bill. Oops, we never looked at each other The same way again Oh man

Yeah I mean She kind of did the right thing though Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah But also yeah Thing, getting the police called after you Yeah

I wonder how often that happens People who do work At other people's houses yeah that's i feel like that's probably not uncommon no i mean the place room was called on my dad for checking in on friends of us yeah yeah yeah yeah anyway all right next one's from robin i own a very small shop i thought i was alone and farted looked up and there was a customer yep i wanted to die just the two of us in there knowing what happened yeah yeah that'd be and you're like own your own little boutique shop you know it's probably

got her personality all over it and she just now it's forever going to be associated oh jasmine i was in high school and i went to say hi to who i thought was my friend i literally walked up smacked her butt so hard only to find out that she was not my friend i literally wanted to disappear i've never been more embarrassed in my entire life save to say i never did that again i've done that several times yeah that's not a pleasant experience yeah i think i've shared that experience not slapping a butt but when we were first dating and I was trying to like learn all your friends names and like get used to the whole group I came to a football game once and I was so trying to like fit in and a girl was walking towards me and I was like oh this is one of like

Andrew's close friends girlfriends like I definitely recognize her and I went all in super excited gave her a hug and it was like mid hug I was like oh my gosh This is actually Andrew's ex-girlfriend. You're talking about that story a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I was kind of scarred by it. Yeah.

It's okay. I never had, fortunately, any disastrous breakups. So there's no bad blood. No, never. I never had a dramatic. Great. Don't eye roll me. Don't eye roll me.

All right. Let's see. Chloe says, I work in an office setting for context. I went to the bathroom one morning and was sitting on the toilet and knew someone else was in there with me. I started peeing in the most unhinged, monstrous fart left my body. It echoed in the toilet fall. The phrase is killing me.

Oh my gosh. I was so mortified that I slapped. I was so mortified that I slapped my hand around out over my. mouth with my jaw on the floor. I started silent laughing in disbelief, but that unfortunately pushed more air from me and made the farts continue with each laugh. The other person in the bathroom with me left so fast that I'm not sure they even stopped to wash their hands. I texted my best friend at work to go to the hallway to make sure it was clear before I exited. I now tell this story to people in the office, but as if I was a person who heard the fart instead of

released it. Oh my god. Psychotic, but my identity is still concealed. I will never run up to that. Oh, man. Oh, that's all that. Some of these people are great storytellers. They are. Really fun. Anna, when I resigned from working at Chick-fil-A, I wrote a resignation letter, but put the wrong name for the owner. I had worked there for four summers and definitely knew who the owner was.

I'm still so embarrassed to this day. Oh, man. I mean, that's how bad. I really don't like, this happened recently with a team. of Jets, one of their parents. I called him the wrong name after like eight games. You know, you spend like eight weekends together. That's not fun.

No. I take knowing people's names really serious because I feel like it's just the most basic form of respect. And then you get it wrong and you're, frick. I feel like I disrespected that guy. Oh, that's true, babe. Shea says, I was wearing panty hose and slick goucho-type pants. that were, I guess, slightly too big.

I was in line at the store, waiting to check out, and I got cold. Looked down, and my pants were around my ankles. I didn't understand how I didn't feel them fall. I have not been to that academy sports ever since. Worst part is I went to school with the cashier, so we knew each other. Wow. That's rough. That's crazy.

You just look down and you have no pants on? What are gaucho pants? They're those, like, think athletic. top like leggings tops but then and same fabric but then they go like this oh interesting they're like super baggy okay interesting you would have seen them around middle school are they like easy to not notice if they're living on your legs the gouches that i owned were quite tight around the hips so i'm not sure how it's possible but amanda when i was a freshman in high school i was walking down the stairs and ended up falling down six steps in front of a group of probably 50 classmates

walking down the stairs as well. No one stopped to help me, so I just sat there for about 10 minutes until one of my friends happened to see me and helped me hop to the nurse's office. I ended up breaking my ankle in two places and had to wear a full leg castor too much. Wait, those 50 people actually suck. That's not embarrassing. Dang, 10 minutes also. At some point, I mean, no, I would say the threshold is about five seconds. If someone's not getting up on their And you're like, it's probably something wrong. Also, the 50 classmates that witnessed it and just kept walking, not nice. Wow.

Sherry says, I went to visit my boyfriend's family for Thanksgiving. It was the first time I was meeting them. We arrived late at night after his parents had gone to bed and went to sleep in the guest room. The next morning, we were having sex, and suddenly his mother opened the door and walked right in without even knocking, and that's how I met her. That's unfortunate. That's tough. that's not how the mom wanted to start Thanksgiving. That's not how Sherry wanted to start Thanksgiving.

I'd like to know how that ended up. Is Sherry still with him? That's crazy. I mean, in the previous story, it's like, okay. If you know someone, it's not your first impression, that situation. But that's your first impression. Yeah. And you're at their house.

It's tough. And it's Thanksgiving, and it's the first time you're meeting. Ooh. Yeah. Okay, Mama's real talk. When's the last time you even thought about wearing a push-up bra? For me, it has been forever. After three kiddos's comfort is key,

and honestly, the idea of underwire and padding just sounded like a hard no. But then Skims sent me their push-up bra, and I was like, wait a second, this is actually so good. It is the only push-up bra I have tried that doesn't feel stiff or overdone. It's soft, super flattering, and gives you that natural lift. Like before kids kind of lift, if you know what I mean. Not bulky, not awkward, just a really great bit that makes you feel confident again. It's nice to have a go-to push-up bra that actually feels good when I want a little extra something.

I genuinely, genuinely love this one. Shop the Skims' Ultimate Brow Collection and more at skims.com. After you place your order, be sure to let them know I sent you. Select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop-down menu that follows. We're off, Sherry. Sorry. Lindsay During a youth activity We went horseback riding

And I didn't know I was allergic to horses Like deathly allergic The instructors are giving a training And my eyes start swelling up And throat is getting tight And I'm wheezing at this point We finally get to the horse ride And I'm looking

I'm looking like Will Smith and Hitch I get on the horse And can't see anything So I go to get off the horse And my bra gets hooked to the saddle The horse continues walking I have the giggles. The horse continues walking

as I'm being drug along the side hanging by the middle of my bra. The instructor sees what's happening and stops the horse and tries to pull me off. In doing so, there goes my shirt, my dignity and pride as I flashed the instructor in everyone in view. I end up leaving due to the embarrassment

and spend the next hour using an inhaler an anhystamine and Benadil cream to calm the hives and allergies. wow that's a lot that's a lot but honestly at some point you're like all right I'm more concerned about the allergy than I am the modesty yeah well I mean but all of it together is just yeah that would be overwhelming all right Sheila says in high school I was a freshman who made it to the varsity cheer team I was at top of our pyramid as we all got into our spot I sneezed so hard and I made the entire pyramid fall first day of school it was like a movie dang It would feel unfortunate, but it doesn't sound too embarrassing, you know. By the way, I was the top of a pyramid recently, and that is so sketchy up there. Really? Maybe, I mean, I know I'm 220 pounds, so it's probably more dangerous.

But there was a couple times I almost fell backwards. Like, well, I don't want to fall backwards. So then I tried to fall forward. And I was like, I also don't want to fall forward because it's not like, it's too much of a distance to fall that you would be able to do so gracefully. Yeah. So anyway. Jamie, I was in a gym challenge. You go every day and compete for a minute or so at an assigned task, and your team earns points.

I had just had my second of three babies. The task was jump roping after a sprint. You can probably guess what happened next. I peed the floor. Not only that, but the trainer was counting every time I jumped and watching my feet as the pee pooled. Wow. It's 12 years later, and I'm still mortified. I laughed it off

and most women at the gym empathized but OMG so embarrassing may I recommend a pelvic floor therapist dang but she really kept going so respect

that's impressive respect Danny says when I was 18 I was at party as I was at a party flirting with two girls they said something funny and I smirked

releasing a bit of air out of my nose their face changed completely so I felt that something was awkward but didn't know what I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror

and saw a thin string of snot hanging down from my nose to my mouth, but it was so thin that I didn't notice it and kept on speaking to the girls. Horrible. Yeah, that's my mind. You ever, you're like, been talking to someone and you just are so convinced

there's something on your nose? Yeah. You're like, I got a bugger. I got a bugger. Yeah. That actually happens to me a lot. I know, but you're very aware of it. I got these uneven nostrils, too. You do? What do I do with these things? Your dad had them too. I know. I know. Is it genetic? Is it genetic? It has to be.

Guy has uneven nostrils. They're very uneven. But anyway, I feel like the boogies just don't come out, right? Yeah. Okay, when I, Marissa, when I was in sixth grade, I grabbed a pair of pants out of the dryer to wear to school. When I arrived, I stood in the hallway with a group of friends and my crush. I felt what I thought was a dryer sheet in my pant leg.

I reached down to pull it out, and it was a pair of my underwear that had the The day of the week on them in big letters. My face turned blood red and I started sweating. I immediately ran and found the nearest trash can to throw them into. I just knew my crush saw it and as life... I just knew my crush saw it and life as I knew it would be over. I'll never forget that for as long as I live. Dude, middle school is peak embarrassment.

It's just brutal. You're so awkward and like you think everybody cares so much and... Yeah, it's fascinating how that happened. Is it hormones, or is it the fact that, like, you're really experiencing a lot of new things for the first time and inevitably someone are going to go wrong? A lot of both. And people are most judgmental probably at that phase.

Yeah, it stinks. I think a lot of it has to do with hormones. Like, developmentally, like, you're not even close to an adult, but, like, you're not a little kid, and a lot of hormones are happening. Yeah. All right, last one. It's summertime, but instead of relaxing,

are you stuck in the meal planning, rut, the cycling through the same old dinners while juggling, work, family, and all the busy summer activities? I totally get it.

Melanie says, I used to be my city's mascot for special events. I was a big fox.

So for one event, they had me dress up and play with kids at a physical activity day. I had no help getting dressed, so I started off already breaking a sweat. The head was super wobbly, so I tied it tight to make sure it wouldn't bother me. Nobody told me that I wouldn't be able to take breaks for the full hour. Things started off great, but quickly took a turn when they made me run around do jummy jacks and burpees. While the mayor was giving a speech, I was holding a little girl's hand and everything went black. I fainted. I fell face first and they called 911.

The paramedics couldn't take off my head because I'd put it on so tightly. When they finally did, our local news station was there with a camera in my face. I retired my mascot career that day. Oh, wow. That's brutal. Dang, that's crazy. Those were good. Those were good.

We got some good giggles. I was one of my favorite. Yeah, the toilet bowl. The butt smack. Echoing. The butt smack is good. Oh, man. Which of those strikes you as the most embarrassing?

Me? Yeah. I think the butt smack. Most embarrassing? Because like, farts in a bathroom, though embarrassing, it's like, that's kind of the place. for it right yeah if you're going to do it at least you're in the most appropriate place yeah

as like a woman laying in a vulnerable place like on an operation table operating table and like saying that drugged up to your surgeon would be pretty embarrassing funny but very embarrassing I think the first time meeting your potential mother-in-law oh yeah yeah yeah that's that's more like mortifying it's like tragic that's just like the end of that story yeah oh man well that was fun thank you all for submitting those um i love these episodes i did too it's fun it feels like some type of interaction also we're due for a live stream we are a live stream that will most likely work this time oh yeah yeah yeah we have such good luck with those we do if you made it this far though, please hit the light button and subscribe on whatever platform you're listening on.

We are back in full force. The fall is upon us. You know what I realize I like about the fall? What? It's like the most routine-oriented time of the year, I think. Yeah. I agree. And football season is here, and it's just great.

I highly, highly recommend just drop in some little pieces and some little gold, like. Nuggets. There you go. Your way. Stay tuned and stick with us because we have something really exciting coming for a couple things in the month of September that you guys don't want to miss. I have a hint of what that is, but not a full idea. Really? You're saying like the singular announcement or the whole series we're going to do around it?

The whole series. We have a huge, really fun series coming your way that is unlike anything we have ever done before. and I am really excited to finally share. Actually, let me say this, to up to the any of mystique around this. I'm actually not that excited to do this series. Why? Yeah, because some of these things better off in the rear view, but... Really?

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so state to... Oh, no, I'm at a place where I'm like on a hot. Okay, good, yeah. Good for you. I'm pumped for you. Oh, baby. Anyway, it's all we got.

Thanks for listening. Andrew. I'm shot. Till next time.
