What happens when a married couple tries to argue in ASMR? 😂
In this one, we decided to test our communication skills and our self-control by taking a real-life argument and turning it into a full ASMR experience hahahaha. From the classic “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” to “You forgot to unload the dishwasher… again,” it might just be the quietest argument we’ve ever had.
Sean, have you ever listened to an ASMR video?
No.
No, you're supposed to whisper like this.
Why?
And tap on them. Make noises. Some people really like it.
This is really uncomfortable.
You have to whisper. Do you know how to whisper?
No.
Actually, legitimately, do not know how to whisper. Can you give it your best go?
Are you whispering?
That's not a whisper.
That is a whisper.
That's a quiet talk. You have to whisper. It's like a breath talk.
It's not a quiet talk.
We did a video a while back on Instagram where I was having an argument nose to nose like this.
Hi.
And people really enjoyed it. So I wanted to do an ASMR argument video.
We did not want this.
That's a decent getting there.
At all.
I like it. I think I'm in ASMR when you do it.
You wanted this. I think this is an absolutely terrible idea.
Here's the thing. This is in celebration of a recent project that Sean and I got to do.
We didn't whisper.
I know.
I spoke at a very normal volume the entire time.
I know. You're right. But we got to do a date night series on Hatch.
And it's an audio only experience. They're five minute date nights.
Why does it feel like you're yelling in a whisper?
We did Hatch.
I want to make sure I'm talking loud enough.
You have to whisper.
That doesn't make any sense.
So we've used Hatch for years with our kids.
And so we got to collaborate.
I actually think you're really bad at whispering.
You literally have not whispered yet. So you can't say anything.
Anyway, we got to work on this project with them.
Where we did five minute date night ideas that are anything from gratitude
to meditation to building a dream life to stretching together.
And we thought, you know, since people might be falling asleep to our voices,
we should do an ASMR YouTube video.
Hopefully this is relaxing for you as it is relaxing for us.
Sean, I did want to bring up that it kind of annoys me when you put pots in the dishwasher.
Don't.
You do. You put pots in the dishwasher.
Just hand wash them. It takes so much less time.
I don't put pots.
How do the pots end up in the dishwasher then?
Not me.
Who makes dinner, Andrew?
Do you remember when we got married? We made a rule.
That's not ASMR.
Do you remember?
Now you're just mad at me.
Do you remember? What was the rule?
Whoever cooks, you have to whisper.
The other person cleans.
Does anybody enjoy Sean's ASMR?
No, nobody's going to enjoy this.
That's the first time I've legitimately ever heard you whisper.
Answer the question.
Did I what?
Exactly.
Did I forget the rule?
That's why I don't effing whisper.
It's because you go, what? What? Huh? What?
Babe, it's supposed to be relaxing.
It gives people warm, bubbly feelings on the back of their spine.
No, it doesn't.
It does.
If it does, you're creepy.
What? You have a foot fetish.
Show.
Me?
I would pay to see you.
Show, whisper.
I would pay to see you try to lick my feet, Andrew.
I would pay.
You do have a foot fetish.
No, you would have a panic attack.
You're asking to pay me to lick your feet?
You would have a panic attack.
So would I.
Okay, all right.
You have really strict policies on how to load the utensil drawer.
Yeah, because there's a right way and a wrong way, and you do it wrong.
I think all spoons just go together.
And also, we shouldn't have multiple sizes.
Just have one size of spoons.
You weren't bare to use your ginormous spoon.
Let's just all use this.
It won't fit in his mouth.
Let's just all use one size.
We'll use the smaller size, okay?
I also want to talk about the amount of pillows that we have on our bed.
And I am the one who removes them every time.
You can't get mad at me, ASMR.
No, whisper.
Is that true, Andrew?
Is that true?
You legitimately, you take off the pillows on your side,
and you leave my pillows high and dry.
Do you want to know why I leave some pillows on your side?
How many pillows do you sleep with at night, Andrew?
Four.
Whisper.
Say that number again.
Four pillows.
Four?
One between the legs, one under the rib, one on one.
More than a freaking pregnant woman, okay?
And you wouldn't get mad at me for having extra pillows on our bed?
How many pillows do we have on our bed?
I think we probably have seven.
Twelve at least.
No, eight.
Number's going up.
We have eight?
That we park in the driveway.
Ow, you're ridiculous.
No, there's a right and a wrong one.
You don't clean up anything, okay?
But the cars drive you crazy that I don't park in the right hypothetical spot.
No, it's a game of Tetris that needs to be taken serious.
You parked on the street last night.
I did.
And you're about to sleep on the couch tonight.
I dare you to try.
How are you liking this so far?
I just feel like you are going down a risky path, my friend.
With what?
Just wanting to start a fight.
No, no, no, no.
There's no fighting when you're doing it ASMR style.
But you're not doing it ASMR style.
Keep poking, babe.
What?
Keep poking.
I love you.
You're getting nervous now.
No, I'm good.
This is the first of many ASMR videos.
This is the last of any ASMR videos we ever do.
Can you do a closeout and a whisper?
Oh, we're done?
Yeah.
I wanted to see if it was our thing.
It doesn't seem like it is.
I think it's safe to say ASMR is not our thing.
What do you think?
Why did you bully me with beer?
That's good.
Actually, when you whisper, I like it.
It's very gentle.
It's funny.
It's like whatever public setting we're in, you use the wrong one.
You'll have a conversation with someone and they can't hear you.
You're so right.
I do do that.
And then we'll be in a situation where the calls are quiet.
You're like, yeah.
Yeah.
Blast off, breaker and go.
That's a fair critique.
What is the part of your brain that controls volume?
I must be missing it.
No, it's just upside down.
Yeah.
In exciting news, we'll give you whisper updates.
Shawn started her pilot's license training yesterday.
No, I didn't.
Shawn Johnson.
I did not.
Student pilot.
Congratulate.
You did.
But I didn't.
You did.
You have an FTE number and everything.
You signed me up.
I didn't take a lesson.
For the first six and a half hours.
I slept.
That's your fault.
I hate concern.
Did you log any student pilot hours while you were asleep, Andrew?
Never.
Do we have any other exciting updates?
Andrew's dissertation got approved.
I printed it off at FedEx the other day.
It's huge.
It was expensive to print.
You had to do a coil.
Okay, what comes to your mind?
My expensive is different than your expensive.
What do you think?
What do you think, Mike?
How much was it?
$120.
You spent that on paper?
No, I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm out.
Check out our date night show on Hatch.
It's really fun.
Nothing like this.
No, nothing.
This is not a good marketing ad for Hatch.
Unless they want to do an ASMR show.
Which they won't.
It was really fun though.
The Hatch Project.
Oh yeah, it was.
I thought you meant this.
You haven't listened to a single second of it.
No, I don't listen to myself.
You're not whispering.
You're the only person that listens to yourself.
I gotta make sure it sounds good.
Do you sound good, Andrew?
I was out of cold the whole time.
Yeah, you were on your deathbed.
You had pneumonia.
I did legitimately have pneumonia.
Here's the thing with our YouTube channel.
It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, some people say,
oh yeah, we're tech creators.
We talk about technology.
Not us, generally.
They say, they gotta think.
Nobody's ever said that about us.
You did.
She used to do phone reviews.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, do you know why?
Because he would throw a phone at me.
He'd be like, tell me about it.
Pretty fun.
We don't really have a schtick.
We don't.
So the schtick is kind of,
I have an idea and then Sean has to react to that idea.
And that's pretty much been our last 10 years of marriage.
Is that fair to say?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Andrew's the kite.
I'm the kite holder.
With the nonsense parts of life.
With the important parts.
There's just a lot of fun things happening.
So you'll be watching us on TV with the special forces.
We're going to Adweek.
On the New York City.
Sean just got back from LA and Des Moines.
In less than 48 hours.
We got the hat show going on.
So anyway, whether you like it or not,
you're going to be seeing us and hearing us everywhere.
Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I apologize.
I'm Andrew.
I'm his wife.
Till next time.
