FINALLY THIS COLLAB

[@jeremiahdunsin1282]

My exact words!

[@michipadilla]

I LITERALLY YELLED

[@mj_9450]

BEEEEEEN waiting 😁

[@Adjay722]

The stuff of legend

[@paigelynnelson2159]

Exactly!

[@autumnsavage6419]

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” 😆😆😆😆

[@user-ut3dy5jz6s]

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

[@user-ut3dy5jz6s]

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

[@victoriaparks1288]

I can CONFIRM they were the first couple channel I ever followed

[@jaymeestahl]

37:59 you know it’s really going off the rails when Gabe is the one saying we need to pull it back😂

[@abigailward2893]

i just wanna point out how well Matt conducts these interviews and how much he’s improved in every episode they’ve done one! I too struggle with ADHD and his ability to utilize it to his creative advantage and control it in the right moments is beyond admirable. Not an easy task and Matt is truly making it feel seamless in these episodes!!

[@Sarah-sr8zw]

I hadn’t noticed this - you’re so right!

[@katialing5557]

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

[@Sarah-sr8zw]

lololol so true

[@sunlight.travels]

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

[@Visionverse_media]

Gabriel and Matt’s personalities are amazing together

[@user-sh9kf7df6c]

I love how Matt and Abby are so respectful and gave Jess and Gabe lots of compliments ❤

[@jessicaarmy-animegirl9454]

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

[@isaella4229]

The collab we all needed 😍😍😍

[@anka5699]

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. ♥️

[@Natalia_72]

Awww, you could hear the emotion in Gabe’s voice as he was talking about being a father to his daughter 🥹

[@alien4414]

jess and gab are THE OG the first couple i followed and i cant believe i have been here for the past 7 years

[@saylormckynna]

been WAITING for jess and gabe! 😍

[@jennymitchelson9356]

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. 😊

[@ItsRensMC]

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.

[@LaneyKate]

Matt playing with abbys hair is so sweet. I love that he just does it subconsciously while deep in conversation❤

[@user-sz2ze1pj8e]

Made me uncomfortable though

[@koralgarcia4533]

This episode is just pure serotonin! I smiled the entire time and the best two couples in one… what’s a blast! Absolutely amazing!!

[@alyssakruse5414]

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 ❤

[@SamanthaL]

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

[@briannarandell6812]

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

[@janhavisatpute-il4ev]

The amount of serotonin I had the entire episode ❤️😭

[@GamerverseU]

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.

[@lillrich9894]

This felt so genuine and authentic, such a true connection 🤍 I hope you will post more with Gabe and Jess

[@clairesnelson9961]

Loved this episode! Its cool seeing friendships form on the pod. You all so chill and happy

[@racheltherese4161]

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 😂

[@kylee1234hehe]

What a beautiful episode and genuine connection and conversation!! Thank you guys🩷

[@xxthrashiexx]

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!

[@lucybarron3893]

Might have been my favourite episode yet. So fun! Such great chemistry between you all.

[@avblank71]

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. ❤

[@kranae]

THIS DUO. I love Abby’s personality this episode too, she’s so funny. They would all make really good friends! Best podcast episode.

[@karlaherrera311]

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.

[@ImRanastar]

[@AmandaLovesHolidays]

[@melissaogas9817]

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!!!

[@mj_9450]

This was honestly THE BEST collab from both your podcasts 🤩🔥 We need MORE, please!!! All the laughs seriously made my day🥰

[@kimoconnell8411]

The best podcast yet, I was hoping for this, the most geniune couple /family on you tube

[@ehleesaw]

i definitely AGREE

[@kristismyk1930]

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!

[@cinnamonroll8662]

I literally have been praying for this collab!! My two favorite KZbinrs I’m so proud of both of y’all’s journey . Very entertaining. Keep doing what you’re doing !! 💕

[@tahliatenbrink]

I grew up with a very similar homeschool background as Gabe and it was so nice hearing him talk about that 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@raynaroy157]

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.

[@theofficialmadihart]

Probably my favorite one yet! I laughed so hard the whole time!! Y’all just flow so well! Thanks for this collab!

[@montano2953]

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 !!!

[@nicoleholmanprincess3419]

Good morning Matt and Abby. Can't wait to see what today holds in your podcast. Never stop smiling 😊

[@angelicamarliza]

[@MT-hb7ts]

JESS IS STUNNING

[@samanthabaxter8688]

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.

[@katrinapecht4914]

So sweet❤

[@Adrienne.Granados]

Back here to check the timing of the interview (and you lowkey outing them lmao) since Jess just announced she’s pregnant!! 🎉

[@odeetteplascencia]

Yay!!! Finally! Love Jess and Gabriel!!❤️❤️

[@kaylag.14]

[@raeghanvid2399]

THE BEST COLLAB PLEASE DO A PART TWO SOMETIME! I was smiling at my phone and laughing this was the best!

[@DelaneyWalker]

I remember when Jess and Gabe posted their first vlog. I can’t believe how long it’s been 🥹

[@wavesofstationary]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOODNESS, so nice to see you all 4 together 😍

[@nadjavandenbroek8053]

[@taystronaut]

[@MommyandAlexia]

Oh my goodness I love Jess and Gabe you guys are just the coolest!! ❤❤❤

[@katrinagorsuch0519]

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!

[@lw5391]

Yay! Been waiting on this collab 🎉

[@KhaliahAli]

[@lizzygrace6322]

[@keilalevis3534]

Healthcare system is broken in the US, but health workers (nurses, doctors, clinicians, physical therapist, etc..) are the true MVPs.

[@kayleewallace4521]

YESSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLABORATION

[@heavensgirl96]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB!!!!

[@ashleymarie6585]

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

[@neysta2136]

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!

[@DelaneyWalker]

So excited for this one!

[@shanaberktold1592]

You 4 are the best, had so much fun watching it❤

[@channelchanel123]

so cool to have jess and gabe on the podcast!!!

[@ainabricolle]

Finally!! I've just loved this episode so much ❤

[@HungerGamesLover-jl2yl]

This was a fun podcast episode to watch! You guys should totally collab with them again in the future

[@hadassagabrielaa]

i’ve been waiting for this oneee

[@SolieDayGaming]

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.

[@mikilink4699]

This is honestly my fav episode so far🤍🤍

[@leen34568]

matt playing with abby’s hair is so sweet❤️

[@nataliedeel8497]

The collab I’ve been YEARNING for

[@RuthYudich]

Love this!!! My two fav podcasts on the internet ❤

[@TheWhetstonez]

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much watching a video! I love this collab!

[@lizzygrace6322]

Matt trying to do an Australian accent 😂

[@lindseylucy9807]

The collab we have been waiting for

[@Meleannieliz]

Ahhhh!!! They never do podcasts with other and I’ve been waiting for this one!!!! I am screaming!!!!

[@smellemageddon]

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
