Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void, and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us, because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise.

CBC News. You never cuss on the podcast, but you cuss in real life. I was going to say something about that's too far. Yeah. Okay. Let's be honest. In the bedroom. Oh my gosh.

I can't. You guys didn't actually wait for marriage. Do you want to answer that or me? Do you answer it? Okay, great. Well. Actually, don't answer it. Oh, gosh.

I'm scared we're going to say. What? You guys are soulmates from previous lives. I just don't believe in soulmates, honestly. Wow, you said that so fast. You all have sex every day. We're getting into it. I don't want my parents to listen to this.

What's up, dude? And welcome back to the. I like this filming in the morning. I feel like a little bit more alive. The afternoon, I'm like, yeah. Our kids are with grandma so we can have some alone time to ourselves. Yeah, super special. With all of you watching us. No, this is fun to do. Anyway, we're having a great time, guys. We were a little disappointed. We looked at our analytics. And apparently 63.8% of you aren't subscribed. They're watching the videos. So that hurt my feelings. I'm not going to lie. I was a little hurt by that. Personally, maybe they just don't have a YouTube account. No, they have a YouTube account.

Everybody has a YouTube account. No, for a while I had favorite YouTubers and I was like, man, I just wish I could help them out, but I don't have an account. You can't subscribe if you don't have an account. Didn't you think that it cost to subscribe? I did a long time ago. But yes what, good news, guys, it's free. So I would just encourage you to quickly make an account, subscribe to us, share it, give it a star.

If you don't like it, you shouldn't share it. Why would you share a podcast if you don't like it? No, if they don't like it, they're probably not here. Let's hope. I mean, gosh, don't torture yourself like that. If you're watching us because you don't like us, that is some commitment. I wanted to bring up our fight last night. Oh my gosh, okay.

What's happening? Speaking of a couple goals. Abby, I'll be honest. I don't remember what the fight was about. I would only bring it up if it wasn't like a huge deal. But we resolved it. Walk me through what happened. I remember.

I don't remember. Okay, well, I was really locked in on Beast Games episode five. Oh, and you were getting frustrated because our kids were running around in circles. No, no, no, no, no, no. They were being very loud. And I was like, babe, we could just put them to bed and then we can watch these games in peace. I thought they would like to watch Beast Games, but they really are way too young for that. I think of a two-year-year-old one to watch Beast Games?

Augie sometimes likes it. But anyway, no, this is after the kids were asleep. I got those distractions to bed. Okay. And then you are sitting next to me and you're not paying attention to all to this show. And you're showing me your friend. I can't believe it. And then you start talking.

And I was like just trying to find the remote so quick because I hate to miss any second of really any show I'm watching, but especially Beast Games. I wanted to show Abby something on my phone. And then I was really excited about it. And I was like, babe, look at this. And you just, it was like the pinnacle moment of this episode. And you're like, I mean, I'm like, just wait. I was just trying to find the remote so I could pause it. I was willing to stop everything and give you all my attention even in the most special moment.

And it just really rubbed you the wrong way. Let's be honest, babe. This was halfway into the episode and there wasn't really anything pinnacle going on. And you weren't paying attention to you have the whole clue. It was a really big deal. I'm sorry. Who's going to take care of our children with a sprinting around our living room? They were asleep.

Oh, they were asleep. That point they were asleep. Anyway, you're right, you're right, I'm wrong. You're right. Listen, read my lips, baby. You're right, I'm wrong. Feels amazing. I love you.

I love you. You're my writer, afterwards. I just looked at it and I was like, you're wrong about this, by the way. And then he's like, okay. And then he walked away. And then he just came back down. He's like, I'm actually sorry.

I was wrong. But today's episode, we're addressing your assumptions about us, but we're going to start off by reading a review from someone who left this on Apple podcast. Thank you guys for leaving us reviews. Yeah, quick thing. If you're not already false. us at Unplanned underscore podcast on Instagram. I would love for you to follow us.

And we love hearing from you guys. And speaking of hearing from you guys, thank you to at everything underscore era. She says, or he actually don't know. They say. It's probably a woman. Let's be honest. 90% of our viewers are. Yeah, that's why I assumed.

But I should never assume. You know what they say. That makes an ass of you and me. Oh gosh. You learned that from your grandma. Yes, I did. So it's okay to say it. Love this episode.

Love y'all's episode. you are very open and honest and vulnerable and it truly feels so real and genuine. Thank you for being friends that I get to chat with each week. I look forward to Wednesday and now Fridays so much more because of unplanned. Wait, that's so cool that she's tuning in to always here as well. So sweet. Thank you for watching both of our podcasts. That means a lot. Gosh, we really don't take it lightly. So thank you so much to all of you that have left review or rated us or just follow us. It really, really is so special. It's not something we take lightly. Not at all. All right. Well, baby without further ado, let's get into addressing a assumptions that our followers have about us.

This is spooky. Why are we doing this? I'm actually pretty excited. I don't know any of these, but I feel like I could probably guess a couple of them. Okay, the first one, I don't know what that means, but I'm ready. Yeah, but hopefully those didn't make the list. Number one, you guys didn't actually wait for marriage. Wow.

Wow. You've seen this list. Gosh, our grandma listens to this, guys. We're seriously going to ask these questions. Why does he? Okay. Why would bring this up again? Oh my gosh.

Do you want to answer that or be? I'm answering. You want me to answer it? Okay, great. Well, actually don't answer it. Oh gosh. What?

What should, yeah, but you, you answer it then. No, you answer it. Basically, we did not do it

until marriage, but we did other things because we were so into each other right? What is happening right now? Are you going to, I need to give you that?

I'm like, that was literally so much TMI. We've talked about that so many times before. I can't believe people were asking that. Okay, we weren't perfect angels, but we really did actually. And guess what nobody is?

If you actually talk to people who are like, yeah, talk to them and then they'll probably say the same thing. No, Matt. I'm just serious. Some people save kissing for marriage and you know what? That's amazing for them. But that, I actually like you. So I want to kiss you.

I would say we tried our best, but we really did actually technically wait. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Okay. If we're getting to technicality. And I would recommend that for everyone. I really would. Number two, you never cuss on the podcast, but you cuss in real life.

Wait a minute. I just said ass, though. And you know what? Our grandma says, it's in the Bible. That's what she says. That's what Abby's grandma says. I think your grandma said that. I think maybe both of our grandma say that ass is in the Bible, so it's okay.

So we can say ass on this podcast. We would say anything else. No. We definitely try to not to, especially around the kids. Yeah, definitely not around the kids. It's funny though, like just in the past couple months, I've started to curse. I feel like I'm becoming an adult. Yeah, it's giving me the end.

I got to be so honest with you. And you know what? You are okay. You were valid in feeling that way. That is okay. Like you say it sometimes I literally told you this last night. I was like, ugh. That doesn't sound pleasant.

I was going to say something, but that's too far. But yeah. You know what I was thinking of. You know what I was thinking of. In the bedroom of lips. Oh my gosh. End the episode. End the episode right now.

I'm sorry. Anyway, no. Oh my gosh. We can cut that. No. That has to say that's so funny. I'm sweating. I'm actually really sweating.

I can't breathe. Okay. Okay. Next assumption, we're moving right along. That's so bad. Matt. Sorry. Mute it.

All right. Okay. Assumption number three. Okay. Matt loves Abby way more than she loves him. I got to be honest with you. It's true. He's obsessed with me.

Wait. And, no, I'm just kidding. No, that's true. I believe that's true. You really believe that's true? Yeah, of course. You believe that you love me more than I love you? Yes.

Now, in the past, because you have argued you, maybe, but I feel like I love you more now. Actually, yeah, I would agree with that. I'm just kidding. Really? That's sweet. No, I feel very loved by you and... But you think you love me more than I love you? My love for you is like steady.

Like, it's like bedrock. It's like foundation. And you are like a puppy dog, like in love. You know what I mean? Or it's just like... Like, it's just more obvious. It's a ton at once. And then it slows down.

Yeah. And then it hits again. It's like, it's like these waves of like puppy dog crackhead spurts of energy. I mean, yeah, but it's never like, but puppy dog's never like upset with you.

You know what I mean? Never like, you never question whether or not a puppy dog loves you. Yeah. Sometimes it's just really intense. Yeah. And some, it's just more obvious.

I'm obsessed with you. I'm like bedrock. I'm freaking obsessed with you. Thank you. I love you a lot. I love you too, baby. Okay.

Wow. Guys, who made this list? Hey, we have a producer now that compiled these. So thank you. Thank you. Shout out to Emma for compiling this list. Also, you guys all submitted these on my Instagram. So thank you to everyone that like did this on Instagram. Yeah. This one says,

y'all have sex every day. Wow, we really are. We're getting into it. I don't want my parents to listen to this. Yeah, I don't think your parents listen to our podcast, though. That would be great. I don't think they do. Good. Your parents do. My parents definitely do. They're crazy. So I don't think I'm okay with them. I'm okay with them knowing we're crazy. Okay. Yeah. This is weird now. So we can answer this one. Let's say. I'll give that one for later. Let's come back to it. I can't answer that right. It's too early for that. Guys, it's 9.30, okay? We just woke up.

Number five, you guys poop with the door open. We do, actually. Actually, you know, you don't. I do. You don't. Well, no. Now we both poop with the door closed. Wait, we both poop. It's evolved over time. We both poop with the door closed now. We used to poop with the door open. But then we're like, guys, that's smelly. Why would we have the door open? I don't think we have a strict one. I feel like sometimes this close. Yeah.

If we're going anywhere other than our bedroom, though, then the door is certainly closed. Is it clear that I haven't taken my ADHD medicine today? I assume you just got rid of that. I actually have a refill that I've been meaning to pick up from the pharmacy. Yeah, see, that's what I. So I need to go do that. Okay, here's the next assumption. You guys are mad, rich, like billionaires.

Oh my gosh. No, I mean. No, we are. We have a lot of money. Well, we're well, okay. How do we answer that? We're not billionaires. There's not billionaires, but God, we're in a season of blessing.

Did you know that? Did you know that when we met Tony Robbins, he's one of 3,000 billionaires in the world? Oh, yeah, there's people that are richer than us. Well, yeah, but I was just like, I didn't realize how few, I was, so I just thought that was really cool. I was so nervous to that interview. Anyway, back to being rich, you guys made us rich. Can we just be honest with that?

Like, we, this wouldn't have ever happened without, without the dudes. We have definitely, I mean, I don't think, I mean, okay, the word rich has seriously bad connotation and honestly even growing up i didn't like that word at all and i yeah didn't really like people that i titled that way but we are in a we are making more money than i ever thought we would ever make 100%. i think the crazy thing too is we started this hoping for it just to be maybe some side money maybe i like i grew up making videos for every school project because if i needed to do a presentation or a speech there was this rule that you can make a video instead and I just honestly enjoyed making videos.

So I would do that for every school project, worked on the high school TV crew. And then when Abby told me that people were vlogging on the internet and it became their job, I was like, even if I can make like 500 bucks a month doing this on the side, that would be the sickest thing to get paid for making videos. And so started it up, it didn't work at first.

I got super disappointed. I was super frustrated because I'd post every week working 40 hours a week and then it just didn't work and then eventually it did work. So anyway, long story short, we started off in low-income, housing when we started the YouTube channel in 2019 and now we're obviously not in low income housing anymore so no i mean that's all because of you guys and your support seriously couldn't have done it

without you guys well and your hard work too something we're very grateful for every single day and also it's a very big responsibility that we are generous with it and steward our money well yeah anyway that was a long-winded answer we're not billionaires and actually i will say like we are doing very well but the estimations if you were to google it are incorrect i can just tell you that for a fact yeah If you were to Google our net worth, it is not right. But that's fine. I mean, heck, I'll never forget the day that my pop-ball, who has since passed. That was funny.

He Googled our net worth when we were at their house. And he was like, Abby, whoa. And I was like, Papa, that ain't right. You can't believe of everything on the internet. He didn't know that. And you can't blame the people that calculated that figure because they went off of our total YouTube views times a $8 CPM. I feel like some of them are just pulling it out of there.

Which is $8 per thousand, yeah, $8 per thousand views. But if you do the math, that makes us like worth something crazy. However, we never made that money because like 99% of our views on YouTube are from YouTube shorts. We had a lot of shorts go viral. We have a lot of viewers on short form content. And if we only had ever relied on long form content, our views would be literally like 99% lower. Even if that was all accurate, though, they would still have no way of figuring that out. I know.

It actually makes me think about like, celebrities when you look at their network. Yeah, I don't believe it. I don't think it's true. I think it's all. It could be way higher or way lower. It's all smoke and mirrors. And that was a very long answer. I just, I feel like money is very taboo, but I also just want to be real. I know. Yeah. I know. Yeah. We look at each other at the every day. And we're just like we feel like. How is this our life? Yeah. No. Next one. Abby makes Matt get pedicures. Oh my gosh. Why have you seen his tall? Do they look like they've been pedicured? Yeah. I actually, hey, speaking of my toes, guys, I wore shoes for today's episode. So you don't have to

look at my toes. Thanks, daddy. Hey, if you're into feet picks, go look at the last episode. Because my feet, my dogs were out. They were out. They were out. Remember that? Oh, yeah, but I thought you put them away. Yeah, last time.

I don't make you get pedicures. You probably could stand to get them. Probably. I don't care. I personally don't care what your toes look like. My heels are kind of nasty. I'm getting that like old man heel. Yeah, already.

What is that? I think it's fungus. Gosh, do I need to get like athletes foot spray? My dad used to have that at our house. He would have the spread. It's like an orange bottle and you spray it on your. My gosh, you're already there. I'm like outing my dad. We're already there.

I'm exposing my father. We're already there. He's going to disown me. Thank you to Element for sponsoring this portion of today's episode. We all need help staying hydrated.

Reels? Yeah. Sometimes, honestly. Actually, what I do is I'll listen to audiobooks. Okay, but most of the nights, I'll be in a book. Can I tell you honestly? You'll be on screen time. What did I do last night?

You want to tell them? You were playing Minecraft. With my brother, with me and my brother. You just told me to say it and then you all to fence it. Because it sounds lame, okay? It is lame. It's cute, though. And he had to get off for work.

And then it was still like 10.30. And I'm like, dude, kids don't wake up till eight or no, 7.30. 7.30. Okay. Anyway, I kept playing Minecraft and I was listening to an finance audio book, which is so much fun to listen to a book while you play while you play a video game. It's so relaxing. Actually, it's over-stimulating, but I love that. I'm happy for you.

Thank you. No, Matt doesn't read books. No, I do. He would claim to. I just read the wedding people. That was a really good book. It took you like two months, my guy. You did read it.

I'm finishing up. I read Dune this past year, guys. I'm reading Dune Miss. Messiah. That's really good. I reread all the Hunger Games. It's called Messiah. Dune Messiah. Yeah. It's like, it's like set like extremely far in the future. It's like Star Wars, but like way more deep, a lot more Lord. How does that feel blasphemous? Uh, I think it has parallels to our modern society, but it's like just to make you think and stuff. But it's interesting. Yeah. I mean, anyway. Yeah. You read a little bit. Timothy Shalema. Timothy Shalmay is in the new Dune movies and those are really good. I think he's a great. And he's great. And I think him and Kylie are a cute couple. We should have him on the podcast. They would never come on.

Okay. This one says Abby always gets what she wants. Yeah, she does. I can't disagree, but I would like to think that we compromise a lot. I do think we compromise a lot. Okay. That's what marriage is about. Can I get myself a little credit right here?

Because I do get my one, but I also pick my battles. Yes, and I will say, I certainly pick my battles. I will say you did make the decision that we were moving two times in a row. I never hear the end of that. But what I do want to say is our new house is great. Yeah, I'll give you that, Matt. I do feel like I get what I want. But I do think I pick my battles wisely.

Yeah. Yeah. I love you. I love you. I'm happy you're my wife. Abby secretly runs marathons. Where did that one even come from? I think they just think that you're crazy fit, which is true. Abby is extremely fit.

And she goes to burn boot camp, which is, it's like women's crossfit. And it's really freaking hard. There's videos of me on the internet trying to do a burn workout. out and I'm like dying. It's so hard. That's not running marathons. And just to put things, I'm flattered. I'm very flattered, but just to put things in all the perspective here, I did the turkey trot

this past Thanksgiving. Oh yeah, we ran that. That was kind of fun running that together. Let me just tell you, three miles was like plenty. I think I will go into running when I'm like older, but now is not my time. Next, it says Matt is the fun parent and Abby is the disciplinarian. Gosh, damn it. I kind of think that's a little bit more true.

Really? I don't know. I feel like we can be both. Eddie, what do you think? You discipline. I'm the fun one. Yeah. I guess I am the fun one. Dang it. But I feel like I do this. I feel bad when I discipline them. That's the problem. That's why she does it. I gotta do it. I don't like doing the disciplining, but I do discipline them.

I feel like I'm being mean if I discipline them. I know, me too. I don't want to be the mean guy. I know me too, but I'm also like, we're raising boys. Yeah. They have to become men. We talk about, we tell them all the time. I'm like, why do we have rules in our household? And I was like, because we're growing, you guys are going to grow up to be. Or no, no, I say because becoming a good young man starts now.

That's so sweet. Because I don't want them to think. You're a really good mom. Thank you. You're like the best of the best of the best. Yeah. Thank you. You're definitely the fun parent.

And so, but I do always want them to know that we have rules and we have expectations for a purpose. It's not because we're trying to be mean. It's not because we don't want them to have fun. It's because they're going to become good young men. That's right. Next one. So yeah, that one was honestly pretty accurate.

Matt has more social bandwidth, but also more social anxiety than Abby. Honestly, it might be true. There's been quite a few podcasts where, like, we'll interview someone and Abby's like, I cannot talk to someone for an hour. And I'm like, babe, like, I'm fired up. Like, let's go do another. Like, I feel, I'm feeling so, I don't know, I think I'm an ambivert. I learned that from Vanessa Van Edwards, who we had on the podcast.

And essentially, an ambivert is a mixture of an extrovert and an introvert. So I think there's times where I enjoy being by myself and like listening to an audiobook playing Minecraft and there's also times where I want to be extremely social. So yeah, I think I'm like most people. Um, I do want to call out. I don't think you have more social bandwidth than me. You are more so you plan all the social events. I'm like the one. And a bandwidth is like how long I can socialize. Oh, I see I show up. I don't know if this relates to it. Yeah, you always show up. Yeah. But I will say like there's a lot of times with people over sometimes you'll just disappear. Disappear. Yeah, maybe you do. Actually you do. I'm like, where did you go, Matthew James? Abby's great.

Abby and Abby is a really good host. No, it's not better or worse. You're such a, you host the best parties. That's very nice. Abby's having people over at our house like multiple times per week. This one says you guys overthink. I definitely do. Yeah.

That's something that I've always struggled with my entire life. But I love, I love how quick you make decisions. I'm very inspired by your confidence. Like you just, you have such confidence and you can command a room. Like you can walk into any. You're giving me way more kind of.

Seriously, no, you can walk into any room. No, I don't command a room. Yeah. Well, you just make people feel like you're like the, you're like the fun person to have around because you're just 100% yourself and you aren't very insecure. But then you're like, you're kind and you're always thinking about other people. I think you overthink, but it's because you really care. I really care. Actually, yeah, that's a good.

I really, really care. Do you think I overthink? I don't think you do. I don't think that's something you do. Also, the imposter syndrome thing, I thought that was funny. because I feel imposter syndrome, but then something you told me once, we can get that out if you don't want it. Wait, remind me what imposter syndrome is. Yeah, we can cut this out if you don't like it.

But basically, imposter syndrome is where you feel like you're an imposter. Like, sometimes we'll be at these events. Okay, here's a perfect example. We're about to sit down and interview Tony Robbins, who has, and he's been a consultant for kings, queens, presidents. Like we're talking Princess Diana, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton. Tony Robbins is a very, very powerful, influential man. I am crapping my pants to do this interview. Abby sits down like she owns the room.

Like you were not, but you were not, but it was so good. Like you just are so, you're not phased. Is it delusional? I don't know what it is. No, let me tell you what it is. Babby, Babi. I'm so like inspired, honestly by that. I just fully believe a person is a person.

I really don't want you to think that like I don't respect and like honor the work that they do. I just think everyone's a person. Yeah. You know, I mean, that sounds dumb to say. But like, you know what I mean? That's good. I think that's really good. And I think it's good to have that mentality of like, we're all just people. It doesn't matter if you're an unhoused person or a freaking billionaire. You're just a person. This one is honestly along some of the same lines. It says Matt struggles with comparison more than he admits.

I feel like you admitted a lot. Man, we're getting into my, in my like, should I just pull up my diary and just read it to you guys? No. You do need to journal more. I do. I've started journaling. That's been great. Actually, journaling is so healthy. Like, it's so good just to get your ideas and thoughts out. You been doing it more. But, but. But yeah, I would agree with that. Abby has to keep Matt in line if he gets too hyper or off track when trying to focus. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of a given.

Yeah. Shimony. Matt would thrive. Did you just say Jiminy? Yeah. Can you explain? I don't know. What that means?

I don't know. Jiminy? Who taught you that? Jiminy. I don't know. Who taught you Jimny? That has to be Terry. Does anybody say that? Nobody else says that?

I've never in my life heard someone say that other than you, Abby. That's straight from your grandparents. You spent so much time with them growing up. Jiminy Crickets. Jiminy. That's what it comes from. Jiminy. Oh, my gosh.

You're right. No one does say that. Why do I say that? Nobody says Jiminy. Jiminy. Jimny. Jimny. Okay.

That would thrive in a normal nine to five more than people. expect. That is not true. No. I think that would be my kryptonite. Like I love that with what we do. You guys, we can like create stuff out of thin air. Like it's like we want to film a logumentary of going to Europe with our family and we can. And actually I want to do that. I think it'd actually be really fun. I feel like I just feel like routine makes you feel dead inside. Yeah. No, that's actually. Yes. Yes. That's it. Like it takes all the fun and spontaneity out of life. I just want to live on the edge. Which is probably one of the biggest perks of what we do is that you have that like flexibility.

But then I'm over here trying to create routine out of a very not routine job. I don't like the routine. Routine makes me feel alive. I can have like. I'm not that boring, but actually kind of. I can have routine. I also love it when we can try to like make videos on our YouTube channel that like we can have fun and our audience can have fun too. Like when we go to Disney with our family, that's so much fun.

But I haven't been able to figure out how to make those videos like. like more like entertaining because it's just well we also just it's like we're going for us we wanted to be fun yeah so it's like i'm still we don't want the kids to think that we're yeah taking them to disney to make a video exactly so i'm like i'm still trying to figure out how to find the perfect fusion of like what our viewers want to watch and then something that we can authentically enjoy yeah so that's the struggle because some of it like we're like we're not really to make that sacrifice exactly so we put our we put our family first but i yeah i like I hate routine.

This one says you actually hate doing social media. Oh man. I actually love this. I really, really love it either. Been loving making videos since I was 12. I mean, I think that social media has been such a blessing like to our lives. Seriously. Oh, yeah.

Very, very, very grateful. Oh, yeah. And grateful to you guys because you're the reason we get to do this. You don't always agree with how much you share online. Ooh, I would disagree with that. I feel like we're pretty aligned. This wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. as if that was like a point of contention for us.

Yeah. That's not to say there's not a lot of like conversations about it. Totally. But I feel like we both really respect. It's like if I don't want to share it, then there's no pushback from you. And then if you don't want to share it, no pushback from me. The biggest shift we ever had with that was three, wow, that was, we're coming up on three years ago. Griffin was just a couple months old.

And I came to Abby and I was like, I was like, babe, I think we should stop showing our kids' faces online. And she's like, that seems a bit extreme. You know, like, why? Like, we just had it. Our kid was a couple months old. And I was like, no, I think we should. I think it like, I think we need to like really make sure we're taking. Maybe it's an extreme move. But I was like, let's make sure we're always putting our kids first. And you're like, all right. And then we just stopped showing Griffin's face. We'll show their profile. Sometimes we'll show the back of their heads mainly. But it's like we just don't want them to be like we're okay with us having a pair of social relationship with people. We don't want our kids having that. Yeah, well, there's so many reasons for that one. Yeah. That's one of many reasons. Yeah. We could, yeah.

One of many, many reasons. But yeah, that's a good call out. Like, yeah, you're like, I don't feel comfortable. And I was like, oh. And then I was like, oh, yeah, good chowd. Yeah, and we were aligned. It was just like, it was like a very simple conversation aligned. But other than that, like, there's never been anything that we needed to really find alignment in.

I mean, we find, we run videos by each other. If there's something that we're like, oh, this is kind of personal to Abby or personal to Matt. We'll be like, hey, how do you, are you comfortable. with this. We don't need to, we can cut this out of the video. Or even if it's like, I'm making something vulnerable. I'm like, hey, double check here. Yeah. This isn't too much. Exactly. So I think that's really good. Because I trust you a lot. Yeah. Um, this one says Matt reads comments way longer than Abby does. I do. I actually, if you see people reply to you in the comments, it's probably me. Um, do you really prove? It's mainly me that does the comments, right? On my Instagram

I'm reply to comments. Oh, okay. So if you do Abby's Instagram, that's Abby responding to comments on TikTok and YouTube. Yeah, if anything just says Abby, then it's me. Yeah, and then for Matt and Abby on TikTok and YouTube, that's me talking. This one says you've changed opinions just to avoid getting clipped out of context. Oh, dang. I would disagree with that. I think that we still stay true to ourselves. We might just be a bit careful sometimes with talking about certain topics just because we know how easy it is to clip something and how easy things can be taken out of context online. Also, too, when we've had videos go viral for the wrong reasons, it usually was just because, like, I approved it and didn't run it by a female who would have just been like,

Matt, you're an idiot. This is like the dumbest clip you could post. Females are way better at, like, hearing things. Right. I'm dumb. Let's be honest. You're not dumb. In certain areas.

You can agree with that. Come on. Yeah, you can't. I'm stupid. No, no, no. I would use the word naive. Naive. That's better.

That's the nice way of saying. No. I haven't changed. my opinion. But I think we are more cautious about. Yeah. We're way more careful. Yeah. Probably still not careful enough. Gosh, dang it. Yeah, we're talking about our sex life on the internet. How stupid are we? That was smart. Gosh. Thank you to Heel for sponsoring this portion of today's episode.

No. Haven't done that. No. We block, if someone's just like leaving tons of hate comments, we'll block them.

It's like, you're not welcome here. We don't know someone in real life. But yeah, there's never been a mute or block. In real life? No. No. I feel like there was one point where I was like I might need to block my mom if we're like talking about something.

Oh my gosh about sex. Yeah. But honestly, I think she just learned how to. Why is it? I guess it's just your audience, dick. what you say so much, right? Because, like, if you're around your girlfriends or if you're a dude and you're on your, your, your, your, your bros, you can talk about sex.

You can talk about things that are, like, appropriate in that context, but you're not going to talk about the same things, like, with your grandma or your, or your parents. I'm going to tell you no one is currently blocked that I know personally in real life. Maybe that's why it feels more comfortable with me, like. It hasn't been blocked. Like, not, we don't talk about sex, my parents, but, like, it's been brought up. And from my parents, and it's not as weird because my parents actually have. had to talk with me when I was a kid to explain what that was.

We've also cracked into my parents have. Oh, we've cracked into it with your parents. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But it makes your mama comfortable. Yeah, it does. So I try not too that much.

She's just more, um, reserved. No, I would say just more polite. She's more private. That is, that is exactly what it is. Okay. Matt thinks Abby could run the entire business without him. Oh. Where did you get that impression?

This is crazy. I think she's the more, I think she's the talent. Shut up. I could not run this without you. I'm like, you know, do you know what the first thing people say to me if they recognize me in public is? Oh my gosh. Hi, where's your wife?

No, they do not say that. No, people get a picture with me when I'm not with you. They'll be like, can I get a picture with Abby? And I'm like, oh, she's not here. I'm like your, I'm like your psychic. No, when I see people, people are like, you're Matt and Abby. To me as an individual. That's so funny.

That's so funny. So I think it goes both ways, but I certainly could not do this by myself. And Matt knows it. He might not admit it. I couldn't do without Abby. Stop, that's not true. We're a power couple. I love you.

Couldn't do without you, baby. Love you. This one says, since getting more public backlash, you are more cautious with what you say and how you appear, airing on the side of caution. I believe we already answered that. You guys nailed that one. Nailed it. And if you think that we're doing things just,

get people riled up. Think again. Think again, partner. We're that dumb. We're that dumb. We're from Missouri. Honestly, that is a reason why it's happened a couple times. You're from Illinois. You're like 10 minutes from Missouri though.

Is where you're from. Yeah, we're not from Chicago. That would have helped. Yeah. Anyway. Our Missouri audience is not happy about that. And Addie's our Missouri audience. She's a,

She's from Joplin. Being in the spotlight all the time is overwhelming and you wish you could take it back. I'm in a comfortable place with it, right? Like people recognize us. It's fun. It's cool. But it's not like we like, well,

we can still go to Disney World with our family and like enjoy it. Like I think it'd be really hard if you were a level of fame like Mr. Beast where you can't even like go somewhere without getting swarmed. No, we're not yet. Like when we ran into Mr. Beast at Disney, he had like a whole entire squad with him,

which was totally acceptable. He could even walk out of the car. Yeah, they were waiting for the area to be clear. They were waiting for me to get out of the car. Because it's just a liability. Like people swarm in and then there's like, I wouldn't like that at all. You could have like a freaking flash mob form.

So I think that's, I feel very lucky that we're a level of fame to where it's not that. You've worried that being good examples leaves less room to be fully yourselves. I feel like I lean fully on the full yourself side rather than the good example side, which I mean, that we can have different opinions on. But I don't feel like I. Like my main, I always want to like make sure that I'm showing up online as like a positive, like a light, being genuine. Yeah.

And being like hopeful. Like I want to always spread a message of hope. And like especially hope towards like marriage, family, women, like things like that. But I definitely err more on the side of being myself rather than necessarily a quote unquote good example. Also, I've been thinking about this. What do you think our mission statement should be as a podcast? because I feel like because of what we are as a couple, like authentically and what we started on YouTube as, I feel like our mission statement is that we're promoting positive, healthy

relationships and families. Yeah, normal. I feel like that's, it's as simple as that because I think we just, we see the value. We see the value in healthy relationships and healthy family dynamics and that's like what we're all about. Yeah, I feel like that's great. I think we should formulate something. Yeah.

Revisit that. But also, I feel like a big part of our podcast, too, is, like, like the fact that like some of the best things happen in unplanned circumstances that is really cool that's like yeah i feel like that i like that i like that quality better podcast like it's kind of like spontaneous like it was unplanned that we started dating when we did like you it's kind also can we talk about it's actually so cool i'm so happy for you i wish i selfishly wish i could switch places with you but you were like crushing on me before we started dating which is kind of sick like to get to marry your like high school crush i wish i was you you wish you married your high school

crush no i wish no i wish that i had been crushing on you the whole time because that would make it even more special for me yeah you know i won see i always get what i want you do i mean you're you're smart you're beautiful you're funny like who doesn't want to be around you stop you're nice i don't really know what you're going with that what do you mean oh you're wishing that you crushed on me yeah i wish like i would have had a crush on you at 14 and then Got to marry you. Well, I got what I wanted. I'm the winner.

I mean, I did fall head over heels my senior year of high school. You got what you wanted. I was legitimately hyper-fixated on you. I'm so obsessed. That's sweet. Yeah. This one says you have a lot of help. House cleaner, baby slitter slash nanny.

Yes and no. I think what's funny for this one is like we do have help, but then we use extra time to then like invite our family over, have parties at our house, host events. So there's like never a dull moment here, but I think it's good. Like Abby's constantly cooking for friends, family, hosting gatherings. And so we do have house cleaners, but they come every other week and then we pick up our house to vacuum and like clean the toilets and stuff. They like deep clean it. Yeah, they'll deep clean, but we have to like organize, pick up all that.

Yeah, I think that's typical. But yeah, we do have cleaners that come. That's been super helpful. I love that. We do. We have child care part time so we can work. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But I mean, I don't know. The child care part time is like significantly less time than they would be at school. Like what? Is it four hours Monday through Friday that we have child care? Yeah. So that's pretty like we're with our kids. And they're also napping during that time.

Yeah. So it's like it's almost like we have child care for two hours. I mean, the reason you do that, the reason you have child care during their nap is because then it gives you more time with the kids. Because you get the mornings afternoons after you're done working and then the night. Yeah, I mean, we do still have to work whether or not people like to recognize this as a job, which is fine. Yeah. I think it's nice having the support because then we can do more for other people like you're saying, too. Yeah.

And also, like, I also don't want people to compare themselves to me, like, moms watching this being like, oh my gosh, like she works and she cooks and she cleans and she's like, no, we do have help. So I don't want, like, that's an unhealthy comparison if we're not honest about that. So, yeah, and we're really thankful to that. And that doesn't diminish the fact that we also work really, really hard. Yeah. You miss life before kids and feel guilty about it. You know, I used to, but I don't anymore. I agree.

I actually did too early on. Like, I loved my kids so much, but I was just like, how can I – It's a big adjustment to make. And it's like, you love your kids so much, but you're like, there's a part of you that's like, man, there's a lot of freedom I had before that I didn't – that I don't have now. And part of me was like in this like, oh, no, I miss our single us. Now I'm like the opposites where I'm like, I want four. children. You know? I never, Abby, I seriously, I said four when I was a kid and then we started having kids and I was like, oh, brick, we are not having four kids. And then after, after everything

that happened in the fall, I am 110% of four kids. Sweet. So down for four. I do think that if you're like early on, like, and you have a baby and you're thinking like, you're feeling guilty about like missing that. I just think you need to get a little bit more time. I really think that you will fully adjust. And like now like I love, like I fully love our life. And like I don't miss. I don't miss. Obviously I look back really fondly on aspects of our life before kids, but I don't miss it. No.

And so there was a time though when I was missing it. And you like just have to grieve that change. But I also want to shout you out, Matt, whenever we are around people with babies, which is so funny because I feel like you say on this podcast all the time, like I don't like the baby stage. I don't like the baby. Whenever we're around people with babies, you are the one holding their baby 95% of the time. You love babies, Matt? I do.

Or you're just amazingly good at them and you can't help it. Well, I think I held our babies a ton. You did. Like I would work while like wearing our kids. And then I think I would just, I'd be like, oh, like, I don't know. You can sometimes get into this like, what did I do? Like we're, I have no minutes to myself. I'm either wearing a kid or changing a poopy diaper or cleaning a bono.

You're like an extremely active father when it comes to babies. I feel like I hit like a phase that a lot of like moms back. in like the 40s hit where they're like, this is so much. Like I feel like I hit that. Seriously. But then I, but then they got older and it got easier and I'm like, I love this. I want a million. You're amazing.

You're like, you love babies. I do love babies. And you're always holding random people's babies. Hey, next time we have a baby, I'm really excited to hold that baby a lot. You say that a lot. That's really sweet. Okay. So I just want to expose that about you.

You're like saying one thing, but you're like behind closed doors. I like really differently. I'm a secret. I'm a secret baby lover, guys. I love babies. You are like always holding them. Even people that we don't even know that well, they're like, do you want to hold? You're like, yeah, and then you end up pulling there maybe the whole time.

I thought I'm good at it too. I get them to stop trying because there's a special hold. I'm pretty sure that Griffin and Auger were both colic because I did the special hold. I did it with Griffin all the time, babe, because he would start screaming and it would get him to. He did spit up a lot. It would get him, I think he had so much indigestion. But it would get him to like relieve whatever gas or stuff was trapped and I would just hold him like a football. I can't even do that. I can't physically do that.

Oh my gosh. This one. We feel like we've talked about this. What is it? You regret getting married so young. Nope. Best decision. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.

Surely I would. Yeah. I feel like if you're going to send it, you got to be 150 million percent in. Yeah. I mean, you have to commit. You got to burn the ships, homie. Unless it's like, look like if you're, this is dark, but if you're like in a not safe situation, that's a different, like, if we're talking like.

No, that's always assumed. Okay. But yeah, anyway, we burn it the ships and we're like, we're sending it. My best advice, though, if you actually are considering getting married, young is surround yourself with other married people, even if they're older. Because I think if you continue to have your same young and single friends, that's going to be a real, that's going to make your life a lot harder. Gosh, I honestly, one of my, and we did that.

We surround ourselves with a lot of married couples. I go back and forth on this. I wonder if I regret not marrying you sooner. Like I wonder if I wish we would have like eloped freshman year. I loved my one year of living with my girlfriend. I did too, but it's like marriage is so good. Yeah. I don't know.

I think we would have been totally fine to get married a year earlier. I just did a boys trip with my buddies. We went snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding all in the same day because you can surf now in Arizona at the surf park. Which is in Mesa, Arizona. And then Flagstaff, Arizona has snowboarding. And we have a half-five in our backyard. Which I built. It was actually really cool.

Man child. I still need to post the whole video. But anyway, where was I going with that? Oh, I love my college roommates because we do yearly boys trips. But I still, I think I regret not marrying you sooner. Aw. We would have been totally fine to marry each other. Oh, my gosh, yeah.

Okay. Next assumption. Abby gets hit on now even more than before the kids, and it messes with Matt's head. There's two assumptions in there. I love it. No, it actually never happens. I don't get hit on. I hype her up when she gets hit on.

I think it's kind of, I'm like, yeah, well, actually makes me feel good because I'm like, yeah, my wife is, my wife is, really sexy and you are jealous. I don't get hit on. It's fine. I also don't think the people hitting on you probably weren't even looking to check if you had a wedding ring first. They just think you're hot and hit on you. I don't get hit on. You do sometimes. I can't think of one time. Not like, it's not like a weekly occurrence, but there's been times as funny is when you're pregnant, you look so pretty when you're pregnant and you've had people, you've had men hit on you when you're pregnant. I look like an ogre. You've had people hit on you pregnant. That was a really odd person that did that. You're a really odd person

No, I don't get hit on There are two things you assume when they're both wrong I look like an ogre Ohger Oh, no I don't get hit on And it does not mess with Matt's head Matt is the least jealous partner Honestly, I wish you were more jealous

Really? Yes I really like you I actually really don't care But you could be a little bit more jealous I think you're super hot You judge people who choose not to have children No, not at all

No I if you don't want kids gosh, don't have them because. Yeah. That would be a bad decision. That would be a really sad reality for that child. But I think if you're in that situation, though, I think your brain eventually comes around and you're like, I love this, you know? Not for everyone.

I guess not for everybody. I think for me, it's not. It's just like I don't understand it because I have. I don't understand it either now. I can't remember a time when I didn't want to have kids. I never had a time where I didn't want kids. I think timing of kids maybe a thing for me at one point. But like the, I love it.

So yeah, I don't understand that. Yeah, I don't understand that, honestly. I don't get it, but I also. Like, I can understand not wanting kids until you're like 35 or something or 40 or whatever, depending on when you want to start having kids. I can understand that. But yeah, then not wanting them at all. I don't know.

I don't get it. But everybody's different. Yeah, I can fully understand that. Everyone works a little differently. So, okay, this one says Abby's parents still live with you. Y'all just never mentioned that again. L.L. Do you want to address this one?

It's not that big of a deal. They don't live with us. We had a massive falling out. No, that's not true. It was bad. Just this space that we're in. We're not on speaking terms. I'm sorry.

We love my parents. They live very close. We see them basically every day. Our kids are super close with them. Kind of like you were with your grandparents. Yeah, no. We are super, super close, but they don't live with us. I can walk around naked in my own house now.

That's kind of, that was actually really. nice the first time I did that I was like I don't have to put on clothes to walk around in my own home outside my own bedroom like in my own you know that's just kind of cool there are different perks I will say that yeah totally but yeah now we still have a great relationship and we love them this place that we're filming in though would not be here if that was the case oh yeah same with our other studio yeah we uh our old studio like I said if you guys watch the YouTube video we used to drive 45 minutes the studio to reward so it's nice having an at home studio now yeah it's very convenient, but we love them very much. You guys are superstitious. No, not at all. This is their evidence, though. What is it?

Because we don't show our baby's faces. Oh, I think, I guess they think we're superstitious because we don't show our kids' faces. It's not superstition. It's just, you know, having an extreme protection in for our kids just because we don't, we don't understand the interwebs. I even think it's extreme, honestly. Yeah. Oh, here's the thing.

I don't want people to think that we, like, are out here judging everyone that shows your kids online. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Like, that's every, that's every family, that's every parent's decision. And you just have to assess what's best for you and your family and your kids. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but no, we're not superstitious. I think we're very much not actually. Yeah, not at all. Abby saves money. Matt likes to spend. Oh, what do you think? Ah, if we were to sway one direction, that would probably be the direction. Really? See, I feel the opposite. I think. Oh, really? Okay. So, so, like, Like when I think about money, I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to finances.

I almost got my degree in finance before I dropped out to focus on social media. But anyway, got 15 credit hours left, but still got in the alumni magazine from Missouri State, which is kind of a flex, honestly. Where are you going with this? Anyway, what I'm saying is I like reading books about money. And what I've learned is you, you, okay, like finance one, personal finance 101. save more like you need to or spend less than what you make personal finance 101 spend less than what you make if you can't figure that out if you're if you're taking out debt for everything buying car buying you know student loans if you're taking debt up for everything it's going to F you over

long term anyway long story short I like buying assets assets could be real estate it could be ETFs which are like no no Abby Abby but seriously like the half pipe is not a fraction of what we've been what we invested last year. So it's just like we put money aside. I'm not saying you're financially irresponsible. You're more apt to spend money than me. Oh, okay. I guess I just look at, I look at I look at percentages and I look at our revenue and then I'm like, okay, we're out, we're giving away 10% of revenue to charity and we're giving away X amount of percentage to our employees because we have to pay them like they have to pay their bills right and health insurance is freaking expensive. And so anyway, so like we have all that. And then it's like, okay, how much

this can I put aside for to build assets so that we can one day when we're like old have like money that just works for us while we're you know you're on a side road you spend more money fine and it's because you're involved with the money more than me so like for me I'm like I don't see it so we don't have it I will say four years ago was but I spend a lot more money on certain things like parties I felt guilty I'll spend a lot more money on that we're uh one month from now probably when this episode's out We're coming up on when I put in the order for our Tesla Model Y. That felt, I felt so guilty doing that. You shouldn't.

Because it felt, I was like, like, we had the money cash to buy it, but I was like, this feels so, it just felt like an extremely boogie purchase, but I love, I really love that car. I don't think we're talking about cars. We're just talking about, like, random things. Like, can we, can I be honest with you? Like, what's a random thing? Like my half pipe? I'll just actually bring up one that we haven't even talked about privately.

What? I show up. There's some. motorized miniature vehicle for our kids on the front door. It's like a plasma spaceship. It's a plasma bike for a kid. It was. It's not a plasma.

It's motorized. It's a motorized car for our kids to ride. Anyway, Griffin and Augie really wanted to ride this kid's little car. Yeah. And I looked up on Amazon. It was 200 bucks and I bought it for them. Well, there you go. I probably wouldn't have bought that.

Oh, that's fair. Yeah. What, I love her. I like buying stuff for our kids. I know. No, I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying. I don't say, I wouldn't say that I spend. They need it, babe. I wouldn't say that I save money, but I will say you're more likely to spend money. You don't drink alcohol. False. We do on occasion. Not. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, not that often.

I like a guy. Hey, we both, we had a glass of wine together on Abby's birthday. I really like a glass of wine. That was fun. I really enjoyed having glass of wine with you. On our honeymoon, you guys, Abby and I would have a champagne. Champagne. Champagne makes me feel good. This was six months before you were 21. But I guess, but I guess, okay. We were in Mexico. I guess we were in Mexico.

The drinking age is lower. I think the drinking age should be 18 in America, hot take. Okay, well, that doesn't actually matter what you think because the law is the law. Abby is a great singer. Well, you can be the judge. Let me sing a little bit for you. Oh, say, can you see by the dawn to be love? is a really great actress. Wait, can I say this? The acting school Abby and I went to initially

before we changed her majors and we both auditioned for. We auditioned to get into the same. We auditioned at a ton of schools. We wanted to go to the same school. And you got in a lot more than me. But I got wait list. I got waitlisted. It's because I could dance. I think that's why. Because a lot of these guys couldn't dance. You're very talented. I took dance. No, you're very talented. I did a decade of dance. But anyway, these, um, this school. Yeah. So Abby was immediately told on the day that she auditioned for the acting program, you're in. Like, she's that good that they were like, we want you. I got waitlisted for acting.

You got in so many other programs I didn't get into. So what Matt's trying to say is I have other strengths. Singing, not one of them. And you know what? Well, I feel like acting is my weakness. I feel like I suck edge acting. I took private voice lessons. My parents paid money that they worked very hard for for me to learn how to sing.

And you know what? Some people just got it and some people just don't got it. Wait, did you know? I think my song on Spotify hit 3 million. which is actually kind of sick. And Matt's a great singer. So thank you baby. Wait, I actually sometimes feel insecure that Matt would more into me if I could sing better. Babe, it's at 2.95. Well, so we're only, guys, I'll listen to it 5,000 times. Oh my gosh. Well, oh, it's actually, you have to listen to it 45,000 times. Okay, my math is so bad. But yeah, 45,000 streams away from Give Me Your Worse, the wedding song that I wrote from that hitting

three millions. Thank you guys. And I like right now is that 1.7. Proud of you. Thanks, baby. You gotta keep singing. You like it when fans say hi to you in airports. I saw you guys at SLC last year. Abby's so sweet. Oh, that's nice.

That's really sweet. Thanks for saying hi. Yeah, we do like it when you say hi. We really like saying hi to everybody, for real. We like when you say hi to us in airports. We like when you say hi to us in public spaces. The only thing we don't like is if you're like recording,

if you're like recording us or taking pictures of us without our permission. That's what we don't like. That feels a little uncomforty. That feels like a breach of privacy. That's not the only thing we don't like. That? We don't like it. What else?

We're in the hospital. Oh. Oh, if we're like in the hospital and if you're a nurse and then you're like, can I get a patient with you? But then it's like, is that a hip violation? I don't know. That did happen one time. Having multiple times.

That happened more than once? Yes. If you're in a medical situation, not maybe the time. Yeah. Especially to ask for a picture. Yeah. And if anything, yeah. But any other time, we're very, very grateful and very, very, very, very, very, very

very, very, very happy to say hi. Yeah. I think that is a HIPAA violation. Oh, it certainly is. Yeah. You know what? HIPA only matters when it's in the favor of the hospital. Medical system.

It's so left up. Babe, we got to, like, start a movement to like. Oh, that's overwhelming. I have so much to do. We need free health care in America. I will join that movement. I'm not going to start it. Okay.

You are super social and don't like alone time. I'm an Ambervert, so yes and no. What about you? I'm an ambivert. Matt, you're so unique and special and cool. It's super silly. I would say we leave more on the social side, but we also like to be alone too. You know what?

Actually, I got to be honest. I don't like being alone. I really like hanging out with you. Just kidding. By the end of the day, I do like to be alone. Is this weird? I like taking a bath with you. Can I say that on the internet?

You can say that? I like it. I think it's romantic. Yeah. Wait, you know what? That's a great example of the time I like to be alone. I'm just kidding. Well, that's what I thought of it because I was like,

That's the time that I like to be with you. Yeah, it's sweet. But you ate, but I can respect when you want to be alone in the battle. You do. And I like it when you're there too sometimes. I like it. No, I feel like we lean more on the social side. We also do enjoy our alone time.

Yeah. You guys are soulmates from previous lives. I just don't believe in soulmates, honestly. Wow, you said that so fast. But we both don't. Like, I think that there's a hotter, smarter, funnier guy out there for Abby than me. But we ended up together. And, like, she's got to deal with what she's.

got. No, stop saying that. You're awesome. Love you. And I don't know that I believe in soulmates or previous lives. I don't know. Yeah, it'd be kind of sick. What if I was like a tree in a previous life, it'd be kind of dope.

I mean, this podcast is going to end because of the new one. Absolutely not. How would you say that? This is my final episode. What? I'm retiring from unplanned. No, don't leave. I'm submitting my leave of absence.

No. I'm taking a sabbatical. Just kidding. I'm not. This one is not going to end. Sorry about that. Or you're welcome. Whatever your opinion is on this podcast.

An old school YouTuber would title this episode like, Abby's leaving the pod, like exclamation point, exclamation point. And then it's us like this in the thumbnail. You can already market it. Do it. Do it if you want. Oh my gosh. Put in the thumbnail.

But then I feel like people just get so annoyed by that crap. It's like they click on it. No, they just know that it's not true. They know that I'm always here. Unless you're a thumb. 13 year old girl. Oh, that was good. Go check out Always Here.

New podcast. Every Friday, folks. Wait, I heard that that got cut out of the last episode. What? My plug for my new podcast. So I'm going to plug it right now. Yeah, plug it right now. Don't take it out.

Hey, if you haven't, if you guys haven't gone and subscribed to Always Here on YouTube and left them a review on Apple Podcasts, you should eat that right now. No, no, no. If you haven't even, first listen to it. Just give it a listen. I think you like it. If you like this podcast, I think that it, it's, all. offer something totally different than this podcast.

It's very chatty, very girly, very silly, very silly. So I think that it's just a great one to listen to if you're, you know, doing laundry, you're running the grocery store, you're in the car, it's just one of those. So it's like you can come to unplanned for certain things and you come to always hear for other things. And I think they really go hand in hand well. My only insecurity is that maybe I am running my mouth on the internet too much, too many hours in the week.

comment. This is a review from Brie. It says, best podcast. I love this podcast so much. I look forward to listening every week. You leave feeling inspired and ready to take on life. Love how genuine y'all are. That's so sweet. It's from one week ago, five stars, and it's on Always Here. I hope you can hear me with humbleness when I say you'd really love it. I really do think that. I'm very proud of what we've done. And I'm really thankful to my sister-in-laws. And it's a really, really fun thing to record. So, check out always here it's on every podcast platform every platform you're listening to this on you can also find always here so

love for you to join that community and listen to us weekly because it's a lot of fun and I'm really proud of it this is the last assumption I'm returning to the one that we didn't answer earlier because it just felt too heavy oh my gosh wait it just felt like too much too soon you know what I mean we can answer it though hold my hand you all have sex every day yes we do is that bad no it's not bad We love each other. I think that's great.

We're married. I think that we have, how do you guys think that we had two kids? Okay. I think this happened. How do you think your parents made you? Think about that for a second. I don't think you have to have sex every day for that to happen. I think you do.

I think we both have high libidos and we're young and we want to keep making babies. So we're doing it. We're doing it. It's fun to practice. Wow, you answered that question very differently than I thought you were to say. What did you think I was going to say? I thought, I don't know. I didn't know what you were to say.

were to say. Really? What did you, I feel like you had an idea of what I would say about that question. I don't know. That's my very honest, very candid, very, very out there, very. I do think, I do want to see a world where like sex isn't as taboo because I feel like so many, well, so many. Some people make it their whole job. Well, that's true. We should have a sex expert on our podcast at some point. That'd be interesting. Weren't we going to? I'll just have to take my mouth shut for, I'll just, I'll be there in the room and you'll be the one talking the whole time. I think we just need to talk about it in general terms, not like our own sex life. Exactly. I mean, we already divulge plenty. Yes. There's plenty out there on the interwebs. There's plenty out there. Well, guys, and I really do have to pee. So I'm going to

now while Matt wraps this up. But I love you so much and I really hope you check out always here. And I really hope you enjoy this episode. And I love you so much. Thank you guys for being here. We really appreciate you tuning in for another episode and we'll see you next week. Peace out, dudes.
