YouTube stars Matt and Abby join the Lautners to discuss all things love, babies, and business. They share how they felt when they discovered they were having another baby so quickly after the first, and Abby opens up about her challenging birthing story. The two share that their in-laws are moving in and how important it is for them to surround their child with people who are going to be in his life forever. They then go back to the beginning (like the Lautners did a few weeks ago—be sure to check out that ep) and share how they met and why they ultimately made a huge career shift to spend more time together. They discuss how they got started on social media and how they deal with online hate. Matt then opens up about his journey with anxiety and how Abby has helped tremendously. Lastly, they talk about starting their podcast, which actually launched and releases episodes on the same day as The Squeeze. A double feature!

I’m loving these podcasts! I hope you guys continue to meet up and do podcasts together every so often! ❤ I absolutely love how much you guys hype each other up as couples and individuals. Matt and Abby taking turns wanting to give credit to each other is so sweet!

Aww im so excited for this! Loved your guys interview on their pod, so I’m sure this one will be great too! I’m sure they could even offer you guys some insight on how they deal with hate because trolls can be ruthless and it’s important to tune that out.

I loved this episode! Matt and Abby are great. I’ve been loving that both of your podcasts are on Wednesdays, it gets me through my workday on arguably the hardest day of the week 😅

I really like the format of this podcast where you sandwich the guest section with solo sections. It feels like we are all debriefing together! It’s very different from other podcast formats. Love it, very refreshing since it seems like everyone has a podcast now.

I love both podcasts! Really enjoyed this conversation and will be watching more. I appreciate podcasts like this because it covers so many topics and questions answered. Thank you for the love, positivity, and kindness.

I love these 2 podcasts so so much! Not gonna lie I started following Matt and Abby first (since the beginning of them online) so it’s been amazing to have been able to follow up on their life as well. Then I heard about yours and LOVE IT!!! It’s so cool and so deep but light at the same time, does this make sense to anyone else or just me? Very down to earth!! This episode is really like a couple of friends just hanging out and talking! Still can’t get it out of my head that I am #TeamJacob and it’s so cool to see the real side! It’s awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🥰

I loved this episode!! Other than your solo episodes, your episodes with other couples are my fav! I think they’re always super insightful as you always seem to relate really well with the guests :)
