    You should have Jasmin and James on. Their videos always pop up on my Instagram and I would love to hear their story. Their dances are SO fun to watch!

    I love Matt and Abby
    I’ve been following M&A since their journey in Hawaii on Tik Tok. I love watching them grow and seeing their story unfold. This podcast is real, genuine, lighthearted, and so refreshing to listen to. Thanks for sharing your lives and being so positive and real

    Love it!
    Matt & Abby, I love your podcast. I’m listening to an episode where you guys are talking about whether you want your kids to work or not. You have differing opinions, but I love that you guys hear each other out despite those differences. I think it’s a super interesting conversation and I can genuinely understand both points of view. It made me think about my own little ones. Thanks for having a positive space to listen while I drive to and from work :)

    Very entertaining!
    I love listening to you guys when I need to unplug and clean or just get out of the craziness in life, but I mostly love when you give personal updates with your family, new things you like to do, advice, and just acting as though we are in the conversation and we are friends! I love you guys, and so does Jesus so keep shining your light and keep going no matter what others say!

    Love Love Love Your Podcast
    I am so glad that I found your podcast. I listen to it every single Sunday while I’m at work. And after I finish the up-to-date one I go back to old ones that I haven’t listened to and catch up. Now I’ve caught up so what am I supposed to do now? 🤣 I used to follow you guys on Instagram years ago and then I had unfollowed as I was downsizing my followers to keep my time less on social media. But guys your podcast is such a different angle than instagram and I just LOVE you guys and how REAL you are!! And PLEASE keep up the “What’s up Dudes” and “Peace Out Dudes” it’s what makes you guys special and unique!! I get it when you have guests it doesn’t always suit but don’t lose that part when it’s just you two!! So in conclusion I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to send in a review I couldn’t figure out how to do it. So FINALLY googled how so here I am!! Keep up the awesome work and love you guys!!!

    Not great
    I thought this podcast was going to be great after seeing a snip on TikTok, but I couldn’t keep listening after three episodes.

    Love listening
    I enjoy listening to both of you. Your voices are so inviting and hearing the emotion Abby shares is enlightening and encouraging to say the least. I am going through a tough time and I love the motivation I get from hearing both of you and your guests you have on the show. Just keep on keeping on. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    You guys are so fun and relatable, so I love listening to your podcast every week! I did enjoy hearing your books that you have read and your reviews. I was wondering if you posted a list of these anywhere?

    Is this for real?
    Wait a minute — talk about gaslighting your base. Are you two seriously talking about child abuse on your platform? Man, you need a new publicist.

    Enjoying your podcast
    I watch it every day and I suffer from depression and anxiety and your podcast helps me with my mental health issues and I want to thank you for your support and encouragement

    this podcast was so so beautiful and heartbreaking. It had me absolutely sobbing at the strength and commitment of this man to his family. Seriously such a good reminder to be grateful for health. 100% a necessary listen.
  • Cutiepatutieallie
    Like….every other word… like
    Can’t listen to this anymore, please stop inviting guests who say like every other word. Does not feel like I’m listening to an adult conversation or anything valuable at all.
  • Samhardworkingman
    Love it
    Hello, this is Samuel . I just started listening a couple weeks ago and I’m not really a Podcasts person mostly listen to music but when I started to listen to your podcast, it makes my day on the farm a lot easier. I just find myself lost in your conversation, just like I am there, I enjoy your stories and your true self of each other. Keep up the good work love it.
  • Stephanie7392&2
    Stopped listening
    Had to stop listening due to the amount of times Abby yawns. It makes the listener feel like you don’t want to be there. But you’re probably just uninterested in listening to Matt talk and talk. So basically between the yawning, crying and droning on and on…I’m out.

    DUDES…. I Love the unplanned podcast!!!
    Oh my gosh this is seriously my favorite podcast to listen to! Matt & Abby are the cutest & funniest couple ever. I have been keeping up with the podcasts since I found out about it but after I listened to the newest episode I began going back to their very first podcast episode ever and am listening to them in order. They are great at keeping the conversation going and I love that they aren’t afraid to answer the tough questions and talk out any arguments they may have had with advice on how they worked past it. Matt is always complimenting his wife which i absolutely love!! I am someone who loves to give out words of affirmations as well and in a world that can be so full of hate sometimes it’s refreshing to see these two always giving out kind words to not only each other but their guests. I do not do reviews often. And as someone who loves crime podcasts like crime junkie and serial this was such a nice change of pace for me when I’m needing a good laugh, a good cry (I literally cry anytime Abby does 😂) , and just to hear some nice wholesome advice. If you love all those things this is the show for you. Love this show and its hosts. Keep doing what your doing DUDES cause this is such an amazing podcast! 🤍

    You know what you are lying about. Hopefully this opened your eyes and you don’t ever even think of pulling stunts like that again.

    Love y’all so much
    I absolutely love balls podcast, I listen to it when I am working overnight and when I am cleaning up around the house. I haven’t found a more relatable podcast and I can’t wait to listen the rest of the episodes<3 PEACE OUT DUDES IG handle:ezzelletasha
  • ahhemilie
    No thanks
    They leave their toddlers unattended on a CRUISE SHIP, then post publicly the layout of both bedrooms. To top it all off, every comment on their socials asking them to address it has disappeared. Classless.

    Favorite Podcast!!!
    I love Matt & Abby. Been following them since they first came to TikTok. Was so happy when they came out with a Podcast!!! I have listened to every episode…& now relistening to them all! They are such great people & I love following their journey as a couple & parents. Thanks for opening up your life to us all! 🥰

    More podcasts with just you two
    I only listen to the podcasts when it’s Matt and Abby. I hope they do more with just them. Most of time I don’t know who their guests are. Aside from Sadie R. I don’t follow many influencers and also don’t watch reality TV.

    Amazing
  • Sally-low
    Love love love
    I absolutely love how I never know where the conversation is going to go in every interview. Matt and Abby’s questions are so well-thought. Chari’s interview gave me such a different perspective on what it takes to be a professional athlete and how mental health plays a big role in it. I remembered her viral moment at the Olympics well.

    Same person different body! A friendly tip!
    ABBYYYY! We are literally the same person personality-wise and fitness-wise! I work in the medical field, and every time I get a message, the second they touch my shoulders, they always say, “Ooh, you're tight.” I keep all my stress on my shoulders, and with my job, I add extra stress to my neck and shoulders and the stress of working out. For years, I struggled with extreme pain in my neck and shoulders. Some days, I am not able to turn my head. What I have found worked best for me was seeing a chiropractor AND having a masseuse. There are a lot of added benefits to chiropractors! I highly, highly recommend it! Good luck, girl!
  • nivaclaps
    really???
    This podcast isn’t bad! the thing that bothers me though is how pretty much every episode abby is crying or matt is being misogynistic. The episode that really made me kinda mad was the one where they said that they weren’t going to do santa with their kids. I know they have their different ways of parenting but personally if i knew matt and abby and their kids and i have kids i wouldn’t want their kids spoiling christmas for my kids. by saying santa’s not real. This is just my opinion. Also I feel like all they ever really talk about is “making love”. Like ever. It comes up at least once or twice and episode and it gets kind of annoying and uncomfortable. Abby it’s stupid for marrying someone so narcissistic. They ask every guest about their intimate life bc that’s all matt thinks about ever.
  • jenna_77
    Voice
    I know it’s nothing you can change, but Abby, your voice is beyond annoying. I don’t know if it’s because you talk over people or what the deal is. In one recent interview, I could even hear the guest getting annoyed with you constantly cutting her off or finishing her sentences. This would be 5 stars if only Matt talked.

    Love
    I love this podcast, but with the Sadie Robertson episode somebody is breathing so loud into the microphone the entire time. My OCD mind was screaming. It’s all I could hear.

    Normally a Fan
    I enjoy listening to this podcast every week. This last episode with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader left me feeling uneasy. The way Abby Matt continued to press her for information about growing her family had me feeling uncomfortable. She made it clear that she was focusing on DCC at the moment but they continued to bring up the topic. I thought we all got the memo that pressuring someone to talk about growing their family was not ok.
