The fellas sat down with former NFL long snapper, Vanderbilt grad, PhD candidate, and full-time force of nature, Andrew East. Dave kicks things off by recounting his extremely awkward cornhole tournament experience, a moment of social anxiety where he suddenly found himself in a new "gauntlet" of gigantic, ripped athletes.
Andrew then dives deep into the absurdity of competing on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test alongside his Olympic gold medalist wife, Shawn Johnson. He reveals the terror of backing out of shrinking tunnels and the grueling 15-hour interrogation where they were put in stress positions while listening to "pigs getting slaughtered."
Andrew shares why the zero-to-one jump was the hardest identity shift, leading him and Shawn to intensive counseling after having their third child. Plus, hear Andrew's "free-range parenting" philosophy and why elite athletes often adopt a "relaxed posture" toward sports. It’s a rollercoaster ride from awkward cornhole to the torture chamber!
