What insights do Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East share about commitment?
Sean is an Olympic level gymnast.
Yes, and I'm going to give you the space to talk about as many presidents as you want to here on Laugh Lines.
The amount of times we go back and I'm like, I don't even know why we're arguing, but you know what? I'm going to double down and I'm going to make a point of something.
That's how you approach our arguments? All the time. Yeah, we get older every day.
Got more wrinkles.
And that's what we got left.
Hi, welcome to Laugh Lines. I'm Kim Holderness.
And I'm Ben Holderness. We're glad you're here. Hey, if you have ever sat in your driveway for an extra, I don't know, 30 minutes because you didn't want to go into your house and stroll on your phone.
Yeah, we're your people. You're home. Yes. And one time I was in the driveway for like a solid five minutes and I think everybody in the house knew I was home. And then I, like what you never want to see is like the garage door went up. Like I was busted.
Yeah. It's or, or like it's you're in the driveway and I pull up.
Yeah.
And I like look to my side, like, Hey, you're still in your car. All right. What's going on? But you know what? Like it's to the point where we're, we're accepting it.
We're accepting it. We have Anne-Marie Tapke here on the cans.
What's up?
Hello. Hello.
What's the longest you've ever sat in a driveway? Now you have three grade school kids. They have a lot of energy, so they're obviously going to be listening.
Well, they hear the garage door open, so I do get busted. So I'll try to sit there for a minute, and then I see the door open, and they're like, hi, mom.
But this is a rookie mistake. Don't open the garage door.
How does commitment bring peace and reduce anxiety?
You know, you're so right. Don't open. You can't alert. You're so right. The dog, the whatever. Like, you can't. You just have to sneak in. Quick housekeeping. Yeah. We have a new children's book available for pre-order, which is very exciting. It's called Get It Done and Have Fun, Awesome Hacks for ADHD Kids. You know what? I'm going to say it. I think they're awesome hacks for any kid or adults. It's basically about how to make, like, the chores and the boring stuff you have to do around the house and, like, hygiene stuff, how to get it done.
Yeah, and so for people, particularly with ADHD brains... It is that we have a word that we've coined called borcher, right? It's boring torture. And sometimes it looks like disrespect or not caring about your parents or not wanting to be a team member. But there is something in the brain, which I experienced as a kid, I think you did too, that it just... is awful having to do something so mundane as that. And so we explore that feeling and that thought with kids. It rhymes. It's meant for kids. And then we come up with some of the fun hacks that I remember doing as a kid and also encourage them to come up with their own sorts of hacks to get through a lot of the stuff, make the most of it, and actually have fun with it.
If you want a signed copy, we have those available for pre-sale. Go to getitdoneandhavefun.com. Also stay tuned for book tour dates coming later this summer. We're going to hit the road and it'll be fun to meet you guys. We have such an exciting interview for you today. Sean Johnson and Andrew East. Married couple. They're good at everything. They are like former NFL.
They're good at looking.
They're good at looking. They're very attractive people. Like Olympic medalist. And they've written a book. We've read it.
What experiences shaped their views on commitment in relationships?
It's great. And just like incredible human specimens. Like genetically they need to be studied.
Right, but in order to get to where they were, I think that people always ask, like anytime you're like multi-successful, what is it that you do? So their book is about committing, right? And they really, really drill into what that word means, including the science of it in some cases. So I agree, I thought it was a fantastic book. I do have a ton of follow-up questions because they're just so damn perfect. Like how do they talk to, you know,
Regular people.
The normies. Like us. And there actually are some great tidbits that apply to everybody.
