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!
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
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.
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 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. ❤
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!
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.
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
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 😂
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 !! 💕
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!!!
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 !!!
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
You all are so wholesome and I just laughed and loved this convo. I’m 42 so as Jess and Gabe knows I always tell them I’m their Aunt when I comment to them! Happy Holidays! 🫶🏽🥰🙏🏽🎄
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
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
That’s so awesome for Jess and Netflix! Such an amazing opportunity. I think that Hallmark would be a good fit for Jess because from watching Alexa and Calors PenaVega it seems like they respect more the aspect of not wanting to kiss someone for a story/scene which is awesome! You can go around it, angle the shot/camera a certain way to maybe make it seem that way but the actors are not actually kissing.
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
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.
I re be watching Jess and Gabes surprise trip to Australia years back and getting emoji bc our friends that are from Australia were then living in Spain with us and they went back to surprise their family and it was just kind of deja vu. Total lost track of them their channel but now I ll definitely look more into it 😊
Strong father strong daughter book is hands down the most useful tool! My father read this, he may have been shit in some areas but i will always thank him for giving me opportunity and understanding.
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!
Awesome collab, been following you both for years, so cool to see you come together! Also laughed when Matt asked Jess to say it in an Australian accent 🤣 I think its great that Gabe mentions what mums and dads bring to the table and why both are important, hard to say in todays society!
My now husband and I did long distance the first 3.5 years of our relationship 🙃 Definitely don’t recommend, but now we’re married (as of a week ago) and our 4 year dating anniversary is in January. It is possible y’all! If anyone needs encouragement in this or just wants to talk, I am here + can/will pray for you!
Another couple I have never heard of with millions of followers 😂 seriously where do you guys find these people?!? I enjoyed them both. Strong Fathers Strong Daughters is a great book. There’s also a movie.
FINALLY THIS COLLAB
My exact words!
I LITERALLY YELLED
BEEEEEEN waiting 😁
The stuff of legend
Exactly!
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 love how Matt and Abby are so respectful and gave Jess and Gabe lots of compliments ❤
Gabriel and Matt’s personalities are amazing together
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 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
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
37:59 you know it’s really going off the rails when Gabe is the one saying we need to pull it back😂
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
The collab we all needed 😍😍😍
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!
been WAITING for jess and gabe! 😍
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. 😊
Matt playing with abbys hair is so sweet. I love that he just does it subconsciously while deep in conversation❤
Made me uncomfortable though
This felt so genuine and authentic, such a true connection 🤍 I hope you will post more with Gabe and Jess
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!!
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. ❤

This was honestly THE BEST collab from both your podcasts 🤩🔥 We need MORE, please!!! All the laughs seriously made my day🥰
THIS DUO. I love Abby’s personality this episode too, she’s so funny. They would all make really good friends! Best podcast episode.
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
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 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 ❤
Good morning Matt and Abby. Can't wait to see what today holds in your podcast. Never stop smiling 😊
out of every single podcast, seriously one of my favorite episodes along with having your brother- and sister-in-law on (x2)
I grew up with a very similar homeschool background as Gabe and it was so nice hearing him talk about that 🫶🏼🫶🏼
What a beautiful episode and genuine connection and conversation!! Thank you guys🩷
y’all’s conversation about selflessness and parenting was SO refreshing to hear!!❤
Probably my favorite one yet! I laughed so hard the whole time!! Y’all just flow so well! Thanks for this collab!
Loved this episode! Its cool seeing friendships form on the pod. You all so chill and happy
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 !! 💕
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.
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 !!!

You dont have to wait for cancer treatment in Australia and it wont make you bankrupt.
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.
THE BEST COLLAB PLEASE DO A PART TWO SOMETIME! I was smiling at my phone and laughing this was the best!
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!
JESS IS STUNNING
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB FOR SOOOO LONG!! 😍
We need a part 2! Lol I could have listened to this the whole day!
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.
Can you please do Kristin and Marcus next?💗💗💗
The collab I’ve been YEARNING for
The collab we’ve all been waiting for!!!
matt playing with abby’s hair is so sweet❤️
I pray Abby loves her sassy side fully and Matt accepts and validates that to her. ❤
Back here to check the timing of the interview (and you lowkey outing them lmao) since Jess just announced she’s pregnant!! 🎉
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?
You guys need to do this on a regular basis, this is such a good collaboration! ❤
I remember when Jess and Gabe posted their first vlog. I can’t believe how long it’s been 🥹
The sweetest 2 ladies of internet in one podcast 🥰
Healthcare system is broken in the US, but health workers (nurses, doctors, clinicians, physical therapist, etc..) are the true MVPs.
i waited so much for this collab!
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.
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
THE COLLAB I WAS MOST EXCITED ABOUT 😍🤩
You all are so wholesome and I just laughed and loved this convo. I’m 42 so as Jess and Gabe knows I always tell them I’m their Aunt when I comment to them! Happy Holidays! 🫶🏽🥰🙏🏽🎄

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 🇦🇺
The collab we all needed
Eeeeeeee
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
Best episode yet! Just such genuine conversation and connection!
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
The one collab we all been waiting for. Love you guys! 💕 blessings
As a Latina I can relate so deeply to how Gabe described his family 😅😅 Latinos are like that 100%
This collab is such a dream come true, my favourite youtubers all in the same video 😍😍
Haha love this! I’m learning so much. Y’all make me so happy and brighten my day!
That’s so awesome for Jess and Netflix! Such an amazing opportunity.

When I first moved to Townsville from Tassie, I was so confused by the stinger nets and vinegar at the beach!! Wild times 🤣
You were on my Spotify wrapped list. I love you guys so much. I'm your number three fan
I absolutely loved this episode! It’s so great seeing all of you together! 😊
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB!!!!

I'm not alone in not having heard of them😅
I've heard of them, I'm not sure how I first came across them but I've known their channel for years actually
