I'm diggin the new Shawn, brother so thrilled to see you so happy.

[@aphysique]

Yeah dude deserves it

[@colearmitage1000]

100% Crazy difference just un his voice and personality! Can't wait to continue to watch him grow so I can possibly see how his treatment will help me also!

Katie showing up like a professional bowler while Shawn thinks he’s just going on a fun, get to know you type date is hilarious

[@ChiloTarot]

I’m so impressed that Shawn wasn’t discouraged by a right hook to the face 😂 Man was not to be deterred.

[@allenuconn]

The takeaway - I’m watching 2 people who genuinely LIKE each other. Not everyone in love truly likes their significant other. So freaking refreshing to hear how this all fell into place for you both. Please add a video that finally covers the 1st kiss! Don’t leave us hanging!

[@VintageAmmoTim]

Agree, I’d like to hear how the “first punch to the face” story ended!

[@Matt_Wilson01]

Too many people in toxic relationships and think it’s normal, those toxic relationships there is no love, if you really care about someone you know when to walk away

[@homealone5087]

How can you not like someone you love?

[@trevorcole6360]

@@homealone5087 absolutely. i love my girl. but some days i dont like the little gremlin. just because you dont like someone in the moment doesnt mean two hours later that wont change. its ok to be mad or upset or not like someone. just dont hold onto it and give space for growth

[@danielsmith8674]

Enjoying your life stories as a couple. Cried earlier listening to Shawn's psychedelic experience and now laughing at your funny moment. Thank you both for everything.

[@208SledHead]

Shaved head looks good on you Shawn. Absolutely love this couple....Katie's adorable and a total rock star.

[@208SledHead]

I vote communication and how long it took to develop that trust in each other. Nothing is more important in a relationship than those two things. Is it easy for ya'll to compromise? Cuz to be honest, you both seem like very strong minded people which obviously isn't a bad thing, but I imagine it can be difficult at times?? Love the hell out of you guys....thanks for opening up the way you have!

[@ryansuchodolski68]

I’m almost PISSING MYSELF LAUGHING right now hearing about Shawn getting dotted in the face while he was moving in for the kiss!!!! YOU TWO ARE THE BEST! I really like everything you guys do. Can’t wait til the next one even more now! 😉

[@itstime5390]

I read this comment before I saw it in the video and was still rolling even k owing it was coming. Awesome story.

[@armyofshea7941]

Shawn and Katie, thank you for producing these. Other than the fact I am just straight military, nothing special, my story is eerily the same as yours. Unfortunately my Katie (Shar) just passed away from a Glioblastoma brain tumor. It was the best year of my life, and hearing you two banter about how your love blossomed is so therapeutic.

[@alb639]

Ya know what I think totally sucks? We've gotten to this point, somehow, if you're not SOF you're nothing and I think that's pretty shitty even though I've never served. And then, there is something even worse than that. People act like if you're a Navy SEAL, but you aren't in DEVGRU, you're somehow not that badass. Friggin' media. Both MSM and social media have been the driving force behind this, equally. The less you know, the more inclined you are to think these things and I think it's insulting to the Men and women who wear the uniform. I didn't mean to jump on you specifically, but your words reminded me of something that's been percolating in this tiny brain of mine. I'm sure you were only pointing out that you weren't in an SOF unit. In my book, everybody who joins the military voluntarily and serves with honor has done something special.

[@kevinbem226]

Sorry to hear about your loss

[@Dmb596]

Psychedelic episode was your best material for me. Shawn thank you for being so real and unveiling things most people would be afraid to do. You guys are so darn cute together. I always look forward to Sundays because of you guys.

[@steveyboy7]

I’m a former first responder and your psychedelic episode helped me by realizing that most of the shit we go through related to anxiety and anger is in our heads and can be beat without meds. The most important takeaway is that I’ve been on acid reflux meds since 9/11 and when you said you didn’t have the need to take meds anymore it blew my mind. I thought my GERD symptoms were strictly related to foods. I now realize it’s mainly psychological. Thank you Sean so much for opening my eyes to this.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

Isn’t that revealing? I noticed this, throughout my life, with regard to my own stomach issues. It’s stress. How we manage our stress.

[@murkstalinskitm5334]

Isn’t the psychedelic substance a medicine in this situation? I’ve used MDMA therapy and I consider it a medicine and that doesn’t make it bad, it was great for me!

[@numbernine3436]

Also your gut controls much of your brain. Gotta get the healthy bacteria in synch or your entire system ( brain included) is thrown for a loop

[@garretdozier9596]

How does she justify the smackdown, while trying to get the seatbelt off? Is she that fast? LOL Honor and respect to you both.

[@delicious6811]

I loved this!!!!!! God I love this little series you guys do! Chronological order! Btw I wanted to hear the story about your boss at the CIA!!!

[@ZAN-THE-GOAT]

What a wonderful story to add to how they met. I love the back drop of the bush, nestled on the creek. Unsure why I am telling everyone this, but prior to watching I was suffering bad with an anxiety attack/ panic attack from having ptsd & depression. I am calm now and love listening to these two. Would love to go there some day and walk along that creek. Bet it’s a special place.

[@Dgreens]

I love their dynamic. They’re so good for each other. Congratulations Shawn we’re all so happy for you!

[@josephllinas2672]

I love seeing Shawn happy man, gives me hope I'll find consistent peace myself.

[@zach1972]

Date 1: Shooting Range, Shaun shows up ready to down some targets Date 2: Bowling, Katie shows up reading to down some targets, and Shauns face Love this series!

[@briangarrett5817]

“That’s how I roll” priceless Katie that’s got to be the new Vigilance elite logo LOL !! I lov you guys!

[@MichelleAllen206]

The almost first kiss story is freaking hilarious!!! What a great story to tell your kids and grandkids someday.

[@ff1047]

Shawn, let's hear the " Boss you cannot stand " story. Love the way you guys communicate.

[@jasonmiller8477]

Yeah... Can't start out a great "this boss I can't stand" story and leave us hang like that!

[@nangaleema]

Wow! Loved seeing this slice of life! Beautiful scenery and two people enjoying their lives and each other. Wonderful!

[@oldskolfromthenorth7763]

Good move filming at the creek. This VE has provided some great content. This first date vid in particular. There is no such thing as a perfect first date or engagement. Sometimes things just happen and God works out the rest. God bless you all.

[@phillipwombacher9635]

As toxic and horrible as dating has become in the modern world hearing your guys story is like literally a breath of fresh air

[@amwkarate]

As always, great episode! About to be a married military man. Would love to hear the engagement story, the communication journey in marriage, etc. Thank you for sharing with us, cheers!

[@shootermcmillan]

Awesome! I came to your channel originally for the operator stories and gun stuff....love the evolution, love how cute you two are together, love the direction you are going. What you did in the Navy isn't who you are Shawn...a formative experience for sure and an important part of who you are, and who you are yet to become. I'll be sticking with you guys no matter what direction you go!

[@gmelectricllc5868]

Love the personal banter between you guys..reminds me of my own relationship with my wife...Funny, simple, and authentic...have a great week....Can't wait till next weekend

[@Anybodyelse2294]

Creek looks great in the background. It’s not just you, my wife and I laugh about goofy shit we’ve done. Keeps it fun

[@redpenguinmining9216]

Immediately, less than a minute in, you can tell by the way she looks at Shawn and trying to contain herself, that's love right there. Shawn staying chill but knows he's loved and she knows he would kill for her.

[@diane8036]

I was watching this on the couch with my morning coffee, hubby (20 years together) heard, leaned in and watched too. We were smiling and laughing, remembering our first date/kiss. Good times. Thanks guys.

[@jamesdarbyii8620]

At the very start, I genuinely thought that dog was a bear (or a cub in the least) just behind Shawn ... really great to see human resilience and great outcome.

[@davidkitchen1025]

I like the chronological, but mostly enjoy getting to know you and your amazing wife. She and you are magnificent champions of life.

[@NobodySVK]

Yeah do as she said 😉 can't wait guys. Was watching this channel since day one.

[@jeffbrooks7286]

Ha! While you were relating the 1st kiss story about the punch, the KZbin suggested video below yours was a Jonny Depp/Amber Heard news story with the title "I was not punching you, I was hitting you". Perfect timing.

[@dowth3]

Such fun! Would love to hear first family meetings ... that's always good for a chuckle!

[@chiefro7]

The banter about who’s a more effective zombie killer is proof you 2 were meant to be. Lmao Great show, as always.

[@DG-jf4op]

The chemistry just ooze’s off the screen bless you guys , do whatever you want these are great! 😂

[@JourneyMan100001]

The last episode on psychedelics was amazing dude. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a 2 1/2 hour podcast in its entirety but I did with yours. Your ability to articulate things and communicate is impressive. I hope you put out much more of this type of content. I’d probably watch any convo between the two of you and it wouldn’t matter the topic to be honest

[@rambo8999]

Great story guys. Thank you for the laugh and real look in your relationship. I'm glad Shawn was tough enough to not let the punch scare him off. Here's to a long life of many more happy moments and plenty of laughs together.

[@nobodybugger8180]

How’s the tripod smelling? Nice episode. I enjoy listening to these. A punching bag would have been another good gift to send after a failed first kiss.

[@williambassjr.5903]

I can't find a superlative worthy to explain my thoughts on this latest installment of "It's Not Just Us!" You guys are killin' it, and the best aspect of the aforementioned is that you somehow find a way to "One Up" yourselves with an episode as good if not better than the one prior, and that's not easy, nor in your case is it by accident! Major Kudos and Well Done!

[@Resoob]

Griffin peeing on the tripod. That's an alpha move, what a Chad. 😆

Shawn, thanks for the dating advice, next time I go on a first date it will be the shooting range so I don’t have to talk too much, especially because my anxiety and I’m always so nervous so that would work out perfect👍🏻👍🏻😂
