this could have been 4 hours long. There were so many questions left unanswered and I felt like u guys really bonded. I wouldn't mind more episodes with all four of you
I laughed so hard when Jess told Matt to say “Can I have a glass of water” & he goes “can you say that in an Australian accent, oh wait, that is the Australian accent” 😆😆😆😆
what were they expecting her to say some other language how is america better than aus when u dont even know that other English countries exist ur country is embarrassing
I keep thinking this is so far so good and not unplanned lol. Gabe is so unhinged even as a guest 😂😂 this collab though is amazing. I can’t stop smiling
been following jess and gabe since the beginning, being able to see them grow and flourish the way they have has been an absolute honor 🤍 what a great episode, and a beautiful beginning to a great friendship!
Totally agree, we're meant to be selfless in marriage, not self-centered and focused on "working on our selves". We can be self-centered when we're single, but a marriage definitely works when you're selfless and you put the other person first.
Matt and Gabe are an incredible example of how a real man and a gentleman should be. And obviously no need to say anything about Abby and Jess, they're gorgeous. ♥️
I'm so glad to see Jess and Gabe here; plus as a fellow Aussie It's awesome to hear Jess talk about my home country with great pride. Thanks Matt and Abby for the great content.
You have no idea how happy I am about this. I’ve loved jess and gabe ever since I seen their wedding video and I never missed a video since. Was always hoping you would have them on your podcast
Man I really loved this episode alootttt. It seems y’all click very well and that y’all had fun and laughed a lot. It’s special when you can find people that bring those giggles out of you.
I have never heard of Jess & Gabe but I was sucked into this entire podcast. Very good, informative and you all just collaborated together very well. Now I need to check out their podcast as well. But I never miss a Matt & Abby podcast. Love it all. ❤
I’ve never clicked so fast on a video! These are two of my favorite couples merged!!!!!! Like wow! And the way Jess reacted to “bull riding” killed me 😂
Jess, I agree with you saying that your baby has added purpose and confidence. I definitely feel the same. Before I had my son I didn't know my purpose, I wasnt too confident. Since having him I have found my purpose and I will confidently say I am a great mom.
Yesss FaceTiming and phone calls were the best when my husband-then-boyfriend and I did long distance (America & South Korea) for a year. Lots of eating breakfast/dinner together for dates 🥰 you really get to know each other well through all the long talks!
As a cancer patient I actually like America’s healthcare system. In other countries, patients have to wait a long time for certain tests, procedures, and treatments and that can be the difference between life and death in the cancer world. I’m incredibly thankful for how quickly we can get things in the US
So true what jess said about kids make you love certain parts of yourself that you didn’t before. Like when you realize your daughter has you exact nose and think it’s so perfect and cute on her and you start to wonder why you always though it looked so bad on you
So I excited and happy to have my two favorite creator couples finally come together💛 just love Jess and Gabe and Matt and Abby you guys are truly the best!!!
I literally have been praying for this collab!! My two favorite UA-camrs I’m so proud of both of y’all’s journey . Very entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing !! 💕
It’s so late for me right now but I can’t wait to watch this as I get ready tomorrow morning !! This remind me of when I was little and my 2 favorite Disney shows collaborated 😂 ugh 2 of my fav families !!!
Explaining what Jess did to make you feel better etc was really clarifying bc you had only been vague in the past and I think it’s INCREDIBLY helpful and open. Thank you.
32:04 The jellyfish that Gabe is talking about is an Irukandji jellyfish. They are extremely tiny and can kill due to the symptoms from the sting (cardiac complications). They are found in Northern Queensland! Where I’m from in the stinger season of November to May they are everywhere and you can either only swim in patrolled (swept every day) nets at the beach or in a full wetsuit known as a stinger suit. Also every patrolled beach has vinegar in an accessible place so if you are stung you can neutralise the spot. It’s pretty intense but stings are pretty rare! 😅 It’s still very safe to swim and not a “everything’s trying to kill you” situation.
The Author of the book he talked about is Meg Meeker-Strong Father's, Strong Daughters, she also has one Strong Mothers, Strong Sons. She would be an amazing guest to have on!
Finding your meaning in being selfless is TOTALLY the key to happiness. 100% agree. Especially when both have the same commitment to the Lord as Christians. We are in our 9th year of marriage and I am more in love than the day we got married, and that love grew after two kids. It’s awesome
Hospitals in Australia have their own rules. Some allow partners to stay and others don’t. It has nothing to whether you are at a private or public hospital.
Oh my God. When you were talking about how the world focuses on self but ending up being depressed and the best way is to be selfless, you just tapped into the bible! One of the reason in this life is to love and serve others in Jesus's name. ❤ Cool podcast, I enjoyed it!
Matt & Abby this was a light hearted and fun episode. I live in the land down under we too have the occasional kangaroo near our home but they are plentiful in the nearby bushland and we live 25km from one of the major cities. I am surprised Jess didn't mention the very dangerous drop bears and hoop snakes! 🤣🤣
This is so incredible because 1. Unplanned podcast is my fav & I love Matt and Abby And 2. I’ve watched Brooklyn and Bailey (and CGH) since I was a little girl, and I’m almost 20 now Loved this collab
My husband and i knew eachother from childhood..he was 5 and i was 3..but then we moved to different countrys and after many many years we met by accident at youth conference when i was 16 and he was 18..from there we texted eachother and started dating for 3 years long distance relationship..weve been married for 9 years now and have 4 children:) it is possible if u really want it..i always remember my husband would tell me before flying back home that there will be a time when we'll look back and say oh remember we used to say good bye and lesve for another 6-8months without seeing eachother..that would make me cry so much because when ur in that moment u want it now but true love waits and it waits patiently
Our kids have been homeschooled and in the public school system. Hands down, no questions about it, when we homeschool they get more socializing. We meet with three different school groups 3 times a week, plus our church group. We have a broader, bigger, social group when homeschooling than when going to public school.
FINALLY THIS COLLAB
My exact words!
I LITERALLY YELLED
BEEEEEEN waiting 😁
The stuff of legend
Exactly!
Gabriel and Matt’s personalities are amazing together
this could have been 4 hours long. There were so many questions left unanswered and I felt like u guys really bonded. I wouldn't mind more episodes with all four of you
I can CONFIRM they were the first couple channel I ever followed
I laughed so hard when Jess told Matt to say “Can I have a glass of water” & he goes “can you say that in an Australian accent, oh wait, that is the Australian accent” 😆😆😆😆
what were they expecting her to say some other language how is america better than aus when u dont even know that other English countries exist ur country is embarrassing
she thinks about spiders and snakes and the dessert she does not think about the beach then tiktok came around and she kept seeing the beach
I love how Matt and Abby are so respectful and gave Jess and Gabe lots of compliments ❤
37:59 you know it’s really going off the rails when Gabe is the one saying we need to pull it back😂
The collab we all needed 😍😍😍
Awww, you could hear the emotion in Gabe’s voice as he was talking about being a father to his daughter 🥹
jess and gab are THE OG the first couple i followed and i cant believe i have been here for the past 7 years
I keep thinking this is so far so good and not unplanned lol. Gabe is so unhinged even as a guest 😂😂 this collab though is amazing. I can’t stop smiling
lololol so true
The minute I saw Jess and Gabe with Matt and Abby I clicked so fast
I always wanted them together
And now it’s happening
I’m literally happy
been WAITING for jess and gabe! 😍

As a 39 year old divorced mom of two, I completely agree.
Matt playing with abbys hair is so sweet. I love that he just does it subconsciously while deep in conversation❤
Made me uncomfortable though
Might have been my favourite episode yet. So fun! Such great chemistry between you all.
I, as an Australian, have never heard of Jess and Gabriel. How is that even a thing? I really like their vibe. Jess seems like a cool person. 😊
I'm so glad to see Jess and Gabe here; plus as a fellow Aussie It's awesome to hear Jess talk about my home country with great pride. Thanks Matt and Abby for the great content.
You have no idea how happy I am about this. I’ve loved jess and gabe ever since I seen their wedding video and I never missed a video since. Was always hoping you would have them on your podcast
The best podcast yet, I was hoping for this, the most geniune couple /family on you tube
i definitely AGREE
This episode is just pure serotonin! I smiled the entire time and the best two couples in one… what’s a blast! Absolutely amazing!!
THIS DUO. I love Abby’s personality this episode too, she’s so funny. They would all make really good friends! Best podcast episode.
Man I really loved this episode alootttt. It seems y’all click very well and that y’all had fun and laughed a lot. It’s special when you can find people that bring those giggles out of you.
This felt so genuine and authentic, such a true connection 🤍 I hope you will post more with Gabe and Jess
I have never heard of Jess & Gabe but I was sucked into this entire podcast. Very good, informative and you all just collaborated together very well. Now I need to check out their podcast as well. But I never miss a Matt & Abby podcast. Love it all. ❤
I’ve never clicked so fast on a video! These are two of my favorite couples merged!!!!!! Like wow! And the way Jess reacted to “bull riding” killed me 😂
so happy to come to this podcast!! it came out right when i wasn't feeling too great, and this just made it so much better ❤
out of every single podcast, seriously one of my favorite episodes along with having your brother- and sister-in-law on (x2)
Jess, I agree with you saying that your baby has added purpose and confidence. I definitely feel the same. Before I had my son I didn't know my purpose, I wasnt too confident. Since having him I have found my purpose and I will confidently say I am a great mom.
So sweet❤
What a beautiful episode and genuine connection and conversation!! Thank you guys🩷
Love this!!! Jess reps us Aussies so we'll ❤️🇦🇺 Very meaningful and enjoyable conversation! Xx
I was going to comment the same thing! She's the best ambassador
This was honestly THE BEST collab from both your podcasts 🤩🔥 We need MORE, please!!! All the laughs seriously made my day🥰
Yesss FaceTiming and phone calls were the best when my husband-then-boyfriend and I did long distance (America & South Korea) for a year. Lots of eating breakfast/dinner together for dates 🥰 you really get to know each other well through all the long talks!
Loved this episode! Its cool seeing friendships form on the pod. You all so chill and happy
THE BEST COLLAB PLEASE DO A PART TWO SOMETIME! I was smiling at my phone and laughing this was the best!
As a cancer patient I actually like America’s healthcare system. In other countries, patients have to wait a long time for certain tests, procedures, and treatments and that can be the difference between life and death in the cancer world. I’m incredibly thankful for how quickly we can get things in the US
You dont have to wait for cancer treatment in Australia and it wont make you bankrupt.
Probably my favorite one yet! I laughed so hard the whole time!! Y’all just flow so well! Thanks for this collab!
So true what jess said about kids make you love certain parts of yourself that you didn’t before. Like when you realize your daughter has you exact nose and think it’s so perfect and cute on her and you start to wonder why you always though it looked so bad on you
Healthcare system is broken in the US, but health workers (nurses, doctors, clinicians, physical therapist, etc..) are the true MVPs.
Good morning Matt and Abby. Can't wait to see what today holds in your podcast. Never stop smiling 😊
So I excited and happy to have my two favorite creator couples finally come together💛 just love Jess and Gabe and Matt and Abby you guys are truly the best!!!
I’ve watched all your podcasts and honestly this one is my favorite. It’s just fun, hilarious and laid back. Great convo.
We need a part 2! Lol I could have listened to this the whole day!
The collab we’ve all been waiting for!!!
I literally have been praying for this collab!! My two favorite UA-camrs I’m so proud of both of y’all’s journey . Very entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing !! 💕
It’s so late for me right now but I can’t wait to watch this as I get ready tomorrow morning !! This remind me of when I was little and my 2 favorite Disney shows collaborated 😂 ugh 2 of my fav families !!!
matt playing with abby’s hair is so sweet❤️
The collab I’ve been YEARNING for
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB FOR SOOOO LONG!! 😍
I definitely didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did 😂
I grew up with a very similar homeschool background as Gabe and it was so nice hearing him talk about that 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Explaining what Jess did to make you feel better etc was really clarifying bc you had only been vague in the past and I think it’s INCREDIBLY helpful and open. Thank you.
i waited so much for this collab!
The amount of serotonin I had the entire episode ❤️😭
Knowing how much you suffered to film this episode I am really happy for you how amazing it turned out 😄👌🏻
Wdym?
y’all’s conversation about selflessness and parenting was SO refreshing to hear!!❤
been waiting for this collab! listening asap.
Can you please do Kristin and Marcus next?💗💗💗
The sweetest 2 ladies of internet in one podcast 🥰
I remember when Jess and Gabe posted their first vlog. I can’t believe how long it’s been 🥹
32:04 The jellyfish that Gabe is talking about is an Irukandji jellyfish. They are extremely tiny and can kill due to the symptoms from the sting (cardiac complications). They are found in Northern Queensland! Where I’m from in the stinger season of November to May they are everywhere and you can either only swim in patrolled (swept every day) nets at the beach or in a full wetsuit known as a stinger suit. Also every patrolled beach has vinegar in an accessible place so if you are stung you can neutralise the spot. It’s pretty intense but stings are pretty rare! 😅 It’s still very safe to swim and not a “everything’s trying to kill you” situation.
When I first moved to Townsville from Tassie, I was so confused by the stinger nets and vinegar at the beach!! Wild times 🤣
The Author of the book he talked about is Meg Meeker-Strong Father's, Strong Daughters, she also has one Strong Mothers, Strong Sons. She would be an amazing guest to have on!
Back here to check the timing of the interview (and you lowkey outing them lmao) since Jess just announced she’s pregnant!! 🎉
I pray Abby loves her sassy side fully and Matt accepts and validates that to her. ❤
The collab we all needed
Eeeeeeee
Finding your meaning in being selfless is TOTALLY the key to happiness. 100% agree. Especially when both have the same commitment to the Lord as Christians. We are in our 9th year of marriage and I am more in love than the day we got married, and that love grew after two kids. It’s awesome
The manscape ad just sent me over the edge with laughter and I just DIED XD
Best episode yet! Just such genuine conversation and connection!
the entire beginning about the order of names feels like the max and ruby theme song 😂 “max and ruby… ruby and max”
Gabe literally made me laugh throughout the whole thing. HAHAHA
Hospitals in Australia have their own rules. Some allow partners to stay and others don’t. It has nothing to whether you are at a private or public hospital.
Yay!!! Finally! Love Jess and Gabriel!!❤️❤️
i actually screamed when i saw the thumbnail ive been waiting for this collab
THE COLLAB I WAS MOST EXCITED ABOUT 😍🤩
Haha love this! I’m learning so much. Y’all make me so happy and brighten my day!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB!!!!!!!!!!!!💛
JESS IS STUNNING
Oh my God. When you were talking about how the world focuses on self but ending up being depressed and the best way is to be selfless, you just tapped into the bible! One of the reason in this life is to love and serve others in Jesus's name. ❤ Cool podcast, I enjoyed it!
Matt and Abby, you guys are really good togther and have something really special. I know that this will stick for eternity. I really do. Lots of Love
Matt & Abby this was a light hearted and fun episode. I live in the land down under we too have the occasional kangaroo near our home but they are plentiful in the nearby bushland and we live 25km from one of the major cities. I am surprised Jess didn't mention the very dangerous drop bears and hoop snakes! 🤣🤣
I think she was trying not to scare them too much. Hahaha I’ve been there and loved it and would return for sure!!!
Sending love ❤ from Brisbane 🇦🇺
This is so incredible because
1. Unplanned podcast is my fav & I love Matt and Abby
And
2. I’ve watched Brooklyn and Bailey (and CGH) since I was a little girl, and I’m almost 20 now
Loved this collab
You guys need to do this on a regular basis, this is such a good collaboration! ❤
Matt trying to do an Australian accent 😂
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much watching a video! I love this collab!
My Australian husband and I did this in reverse - I’m an American in Australia now! It’s so invasive, but worth it to be together
My husband and i knew eachother from childhood..he was 5 and i was 3..but then we moved to different countrys and after many many years we met by accident at youth conference when i was 16 and he was 18..from there we texted eachother and started dating for 3 years long distance relationship..weve been married for 9 years now and have 4 children:) it is possible if u really want it..i always remember my husband would tell me before flying back home that there will be a time when we'll look back and say oh remember we used to say good bye and lesve for another 6-8months without seeing eachother..that would make me cry so much because when ur in that moment u want it now but true love waits and it waits patiently
I said this on Jess and Gabriel's channel and I'm gonna say it here: THIS is the collab I've been waiting for 😭
You were on my Spotify wrapped list. I love you guys so much. I'm your number three fan
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB!!!!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOODNESS, so nice to see you all 4 together 😍
