I love you guys and I have since your California days, you are a awesome couple and have a beautiful family. I’m a 58 year old black man from philly and I could care less about what color you are. Don’t worry about the haters or racist people that is all based on taught behaviour and miss information. Enjoy your family and I hope to find a relationship like yours regardless of what colour you are!

[@whatlifeisabout]

You both crush in parenting and every time I see a scene of you interacting with your daughter, my heart melts, because you are patient and kind yet educating parents. I am 25 and you inspire me. I think your parent skills are the best. When Savannah talked about Ry walking around the park and having the time of her life, in that moment, you allowed your kid to be free cause she was happy and that is so important but sometimes is overlooked. It allows the kid to grow free and not being always worried about what is going on around and that makes the child much healthier and genuine. I cannot wait to see you parenting two beautiful girls at the same time. I am in love with you both and your channel. Sending a lot of love to you. I would like to personally meet you one day. I am portuguese but currently living in England.

Listened to this first , but had to come here to comment. Josh, I really like how you are coming into your own. Keep doing your thing!❤

[@adrianahome9893]

This is the first podcast that I've completely finished and loved. Great job on this episode it was so fascinating to hear your opinions about different things.

[@joshandsav]

You’re the best!! ❤️❤️

Happy Birthday sweet Savannah!!! I pray for GOD'S blessings & favor over you & your family in the coming years. Love you guys, but GOD LOVES YOU MORE ❤❤❤

[@zahniyahswan]

cancel culture is soooo crippling to content creators! there is no longer place for ppl to share who they truly are bc of the “political” component that social media thrives off of. i love that you guys don’t care or can still stand on your truth with humility

[@stephyc6265]

You guys were never cancelled!! Don't let these haters win. Beautiful family elevating! 💜💜

[@klaurel3397]

I think most people who post their kids it is because they have a family channel or they want to share about their life which involves kids. I love this content because i am pregnant and excited for this. It helps me prepare. Plus i am in a different stage of life now so i relate to that content more. Same when i was single, then dating, after married. Was all different stages. I think as long as it is healthy it is ok for the most part. I am a Christian, who is married with a kid. So I relate to that.

[@denicepickens]

Bro I’m 23 raising a 2 year old with my husband. I’m so happy I found y’all’s channel bc being gen Z and a parent is WILD😂

wild!!!!

[@josephinelatosky3426]

Josh&Sav I love your podcasts and how real you are you’re the best on the internet

[@heybristevens]

100% agree with Sav on the tarte drama, a business can give, for free, whatever they want, for FREE! Obviously they’ll give the better room to someone with more followers, because they’re basically paying for more exposure. It’s simply business

[@mariamacamara9878]

As a girl who knows nothing about basketball, Savannah definitely won

[@siennakay3922]

i know nothing about the NBA but still listened 😂

[@randommoonlover]

I am 19. Learning from you guys is pretty fun you know. How to be a better parent for my children and how to improve my ways. No, I don't have a child yet🙄 Anyways, Happy Birthday Savannah, I hope you enjoyed your day and you definitely won the NBA draft 😂😂

[@AllisonGarcia-gw4os]

With all the stuff that’s going on in the world. All the craziness that we are living through. you’re going to have a bunch of people with very strong opinions. But that is what it is, it’s a strong opinion! They can have their opinions don’t let it get to y’all. This is my opinion, y’all are beautiful, your family is beautiful, and I am very happy that God brought y’all together and you were able to make now almost 2 beautiful children. Don’t let peoples hate get to you. No matter what Race, sex, or beliefs you have In today’s craziness you’re going to rub someone the wrong way or “offend them”. It’s seriously mind blowing but I just wanna let y’all know I have followed y’all for a while. You are perfect for each other and may God bless you and your little family.💜

[@hannahglenn2545]

Not even cancelled at allllllllll! Haters gon hate all day long. They always going to be there. Keep doing what you are doing. Your videos help me through my weeks.

[@Riadossan]

Coming from a “because I said so” home growing up I swore up and down I wouldn’t be that momma and I find myself now with a 6 year old who’s always asking “but why?” After I’ve explained many times why and I end up saying “because I said so” but he knows exactly why and it’s been explained

[@Italian_LA_P.A]

Josh I’m sorry you had to deal with people being ignorant and they jump to a conclusion without knowing you guys! I have been in an interracial relationship for 3 years now and I live in a small town in Indiana all white and people definitely make him uncomfortable when he comes to visit me from Michigan and it’s sick and it’s 2023 I never thought this would still be a thing. I’m grateful my family loves him and doesn’t care what he looks like but solely care how he treats me and how I treat him ❤ I could never be an influencer because I’d have to snap back 😂

[@anie6273]

Cancelled?!?! Ummm…why??? Please don’t pay attention to the haters. Keep being you guys and keep putting great content out there. love yalllll💕💕 Btw I’m on Josh’s side you guys should def move to New York😁😁😁

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

Exactly

[@JessecahRustand]

Omg thank you guys so much for talking about the “because I said so” thing. my boyfriend and i talked about this before like how our parents did this with us and we feel like it left a mark on us

[@JessecahRustand]

like when you said “because i said so” it sounds like it’s coming from a place of power over the child not from love or looking out for the child’s future and explaining how those choices will help them as the get older

I admire how real you guys are. It’s one of the many reasons I enjoy your channel ❤

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

Josh, the number of subscribers does matter in a marketing sense. An influencer with 2 million followers will get their product visibility out to more people than someone who has fewer people. In the marketing world, they r not equal. There r always going to be people who r treated better because they have the potential to make that company who is flipping the bill, more money. It's a business tactic that isn't always fair but it can also be a motivator to the smaller influencer to get more subscribers, so the next time a brand invites them to an event they can get the upgrade. I think this influencer got in her feelings about what she feels she deserves when in the real world that's not how this works at all. It's Tarte's job to get their product information out to the largest number of people possible. And an influencer with 2 Mill followers plus will always be treated differently. May not be right, but it's reality. Tarte is in business to make money, not appease a smaller influencer feelings so she doesn't get mad. That influencer needs to use this as motivation. She got a free trip to Turks and Cacos. She should just be grateful for that. Instead, she comes off as a whiner. Imho

[@lolaruffin6249]

Good morning & welcome back Sav!! 🎉

[@more2her92]

Oh my goodness I’ve always the same. 😂😂😂😂 that’s my biggest cringe too!! When someone’s comments “The secret was so hard to share” etc. They want everyone to know that you told them before everyone else, so they can feel special publicly. 🙄it really is annoying. 😂😂😂 I can’t. I’m so happy you mentioned this.

[@adobonai]

Happy Birthday Sav 🎉 May God continue to bless you 😊always ❤

[@CassieDeJarnett]

The conversation of kids on the internet is so nuanced! I never thought I’d have a private Instagram - TBH I thought it was silly when people did it like “what are you doing that’s ssoo secretive” but after having my daughter I got a CREEPY comment from a guy who doesn’t believe in procreation…(don’t even get me started with the idiocy of that) but I was like I don’t want these kind of creeps seeing photos of her! So now only people who I know IRL get to see her online.

[@bkessinger94]

I think you should only tell someone about parenting things when comes to physical safety. For example, the car seat thing. The clip being in the right place is super important for kiddos especially in accidents.

[@Missydox]

Happy Birthday Sav!! 🎉❤ 🎂

[@aprilallen964]

Happy Birthday sav!! You guys are so awesome

[@bay0717]

y’all should talk about target & what is goin on with that. especially having a baby & being christian’s . i love y’all 💕 my fav podcast !!

[@Italian_LA_P.A]

As far as the Tart travel I have to agree with Josh because think about it if you and Josh only have your 600k followers and we legit watch you, engage with you, and actually enjoy you! Then there are people I’m subscribed to who have 3 million and I don’t watch them anymore at all! So I just think if your followers truly trust you they will use the products more by you recommending it Sav at least I would ❤ I hope that make since 😂

[@jamieleewolfe]

All my doctors were saying I was going to go into labor early and it got my hopes up. They said I'd have her at 37-38 weeks. Ended up having my baby girl on her due date at 40 weeks on the dot. But definitely don't anticipate earlier cause it will get your hopes up. They will come when they come

[@kalimarie3457]

Damn y’all both picked players I don’t like but Sav definitely won that draft 😅 sorrrrrry Josh lol. As a very new auntie, I never understood that vlogging a toddlers day in the life isn’t like a normal thing to do especially in today’s times of social media but you guys make really really good points. I love the day in the life’s especially when they are a bit vulgar but I see how as a parent it’s a little different in your eyes. Thank you for saying the things you guys did because I know how to be more careful showing off my nieces and nephews now 🤍 Can’t believe you’re 37 weeks, Sav. Enjoy every little moment w Ri before baby #2 comes 🥹 alsoooo can we get a name hint in the next podcast!!😉😉😉😉 Love y’all!

[@maciiemuniz4272]

Not trying to say Sav's take on the Tarte trip is wrong, but there's more you've missed regarding Tarte. They have been cancelled multiple times for treating creators of color differently than white creators. That is the issue. If it were purely based on numbers than that would be fine, but it's not. Multiple creators have come out previously about their experiences as a creator of color and how they were treated differently than white creators. They also tend to mostly take white creators on trips.

[@taylorkaufman4574]

I think to with the whole social media subject is it’s only really relevant to people who do work in the industry and subscribers/followers or just people who don’t have social media ect it really isn’t relevant at all, like cancel culture ect idk if I explained it the right way but I only really watch a small few channels where the people just seem so genuine and down to earth

[@rosewilson4179]

Josh said parenting “what are we really doing” that was funny 😂but not…. I get you. 😂 The thing that get me with people post their child is they would blocked their face. Whyyyyy are you posting them if you are going to block their face with a piece of fruit or blur their face. Again why are you putting them on camera. Just saying. I love how you guys don’t over post your daughter. It make it very exciting to see her every once in a while. It makes you go awwww 🥰 she’s so precious. Love you guys. Keep doing what you are doing. Great family!

Sorry, Josh won this draft. But man Sav did a great job with choosing. I'm at the beginning of the video so I don't know about the being cancelled thing but I pray you all don't let things like that affect you. Cancel culture is so biased and crazy these days and people get cancelled only to come back stronger!

[@zueekwems5389]

Ooooooo I don’t know who won that draft, maybe Josh but only by a hair cause Sav’s list was fire 😭

[@sadielong-garrett9226]

I actually discovered y’all when y’all got “cancelled”. I specifically remember black women in the comments being very upset about “another good black man being taken by a white woman”. I’m biracial and so is my husband but his mom is white/ dad black and my mom is black/ white dad so we have definitely experienced all the interracial comments and hate. When sav was pregnant with Ri I was also pregnant with my first so I got into your content that way and now we are pregnant at the same time again haha one month apart both pregnancies. I think it’s totally okay to unfollow someone that doesn’t share your views or is in some way offending you or a group of people. I don’t think it’s cool to come at them with threats and hate. The block button is a great tool and I think more people should use it 😂

[@joshandsav]

[@LoniD26]

These drafts kill me, so you picked players based off their FAMILY and who they DATED? I’m dead. That has nothing to do with their ability as BASKETBALL players. I cannot 😂😂😂😂

[@roseangele5105]

If I play devils advocate; if since the beginning you never showed you kid and it was all about you fine but if you gained a massive amount of subscribers by posting your kids and doing kid’s contant then why would you except your subscribers to stay with you if you decide to change and all of a sudden not showing your kids but still trying to do kids or switching to other contant that people maybe didn’t follow you for.. and I’ve also heard well we are paying for those kids life style 😅 now a day influencers get to go on trip and luxury cars, houses and all the luxury because KZbin is your job and the subscribers are the reason for those things .. I’m not saying it’s my opinion but I don’t know if it’s a valid point or not and I understand both side as a mother

[@MsKizzy23]

It seems you set your self up for that backlash.
