    Shawn’s dad was my history teacher in high school 😂 it’s cool to see her on CZcams.
    Also a Missouri native, so it’s cool to hear you talk about STL and Quincy.

    The Unplanned Podcast is my favorite!! I am SUCH a fan of Abby and Matt and also love Shawn and Andrew so it is nice to see my two favorite wholesome couples get together! It truly feels like hanging out with friends, as it is hard to find people of similar age with the same values! The genuineness of both couples truly shines through. Matt- In a recent podcast you mentioned on it that you wanted to find something to do that was more meaningful to you. I think it was in the context of you used to do more prank videos and now you want to find a niche thats more impactful. From a fan perspective it is so refreshing to see other young people out there with wholesome and genuine intentions in this day and internet age. I am saying this, to say thank you. I don't think you are aware of how much just putting genuine content out there can effect peoples lives! It GREATLY improves my mental health just hearing other people speak that have similar values to me because that feels so hard to find as a young married person who moved to a new state recently. So thank you for putting yourselves out there. I know the internet is not an easy place, but I know you guys will thrive even more in the future (obviously you are already killing it) because your good intentions easily reach your audience. I look forward to your new videos and feel genuine happiness watching them which feels so weird to say because you guys obviously do not know me and I do not know you, but I feel like I know you guys and your personalities so well. The internet is such a weird place! All this to say.. Thank you!

Also always been a fan of Shawn Johnson so I really enjoyed getting to know her story a little more on a personal level and see where life has taken her and Andrew. You are all right, the biggest accomplishment is becoming parents and every day working as hard as possible to do the best we can for our children! Thanks again for sharing the excitement and experience of life with the ones you love 💚

  • @avblank71
    @avblank71 Před rokem +3

    Yup that was my son. He signed a 4 yr multi million contract with the Steelers in 2017. People don’t realize you have to make the Active 53 man roster to get paid a portion of that each year it gets higher from the full amount you signed for. But he played on the 90 man roster before the cuts and played in the pre season games. You get paid each week but you are taxed against how much your contract is for so your weekly pay is pretty much nothing. But the experience sure is amazing. You can always say you were a professional NFL player. So many would live the chance just to experience it but dang it’s hard when you get cut. I know my son experienced some depression. It’s hard to go from years and years of so much work and giving up so much to get there to just be let go. It’s a tough business. But now he is doing amazing in real estate and I’m so very proud of him.

    This video was SUCH a good message. From a former gymnast I relate to Shawn so much and the way she explained the gymnast life basically. My brother is also in collage football and going through some of those hardships that Andrew went through and it’s cool to hear it from someone who has experience this stuff.

      They have talked about their sex life alot. Look at some of the assumptions they addressed it that podcast episode like the "mile high club". Wouldnt be letting kids watch that. Or even them using no protection and getting pregnant, not really topics kid friendly. The have also talked about their first time on another one.

    I did gymnastics as a child to high school. I watched gymnastics on tv from a young child.
    I watched Shawn doing gymnastics on tv a lot.
    A few years ago, I came across her you tube video because it was on my home page. I was happy to see her and her husband.
    Both couples would be great on the amazing race.
    Very nice interview. Much success and health to all.
    As a kid, I learned to read music and play a small table organ on my own. My parents bought me a piano and gave me lessons. I quit lessons partly because my mom and dad made me play for guests. Also partly because I wanted to play outside because I practiced enough. I regret quitting my piano lessons. After college I took lessons again, but it was too much because I had to go to the teachers home and it became too much with other things going on in my life.

    I loved this episode ❤ and the theme of traditions and asking deep questions to our loved ones was a beautiful note to end it on. It reminded me of the little traditions and family habits in the book Habits of the Household.
