$100 Girl Scout Cookies, strip teases & failing dry January | Ep. 52

"we're nerds, we love astrology"... Matt, you mean astronomy.

I agree with Matt. There is nothing wrong with working. You learn the value of money, saving for larger goals, learning to juggle school, work and additional activities. It helps to prepare you for the real world.

I don't comment very often, but I wanted to say that I saw your story the other day Abby... I am so sorry for your loss. You talked about your papa in this episode with the girl scout cookies and I hope you can continue remembering the beautiful happy memories about him in the future. I have been a long time listener and watcher of your episodes and I can tell how much he meant to both of you. Praying for you and your family.

As a girl in high school who has been a viewer for almost 2 years now, your condolences are much appreciated! ❤❤❤

Just started and I totally enjoy it more when Matt doesn’t scream the “WELCOME BACK TO THE UNPLANNED PODCAST” 😂😂😂 it sounds so natural when he says it at a normal time

As a 24 year old mom of two, I agree Matt!!!! We need to add financial literacy to the curriculum!! I worked so hard for trig algebra and all other subjects while this is most important!!

Can't believe you guys are 52 episodes in! Your hardwork shows through! Congrats guys. I've been here since day 1. You bring so much light and happiness into my life

Alaska born and raised here - I’m typically a silent follower, but I felt inclined to answer your question about how people in colder states start their vehicles etc. Where I’m at it is currently 7:45pm & -6 degrees Fahrenheit, real feel is -26. My truck HATES the cold and I have to plug it in every night, us Alaskans have to use a block heater to keep the engine warm while not in use and a pan heater to keep the oil warm otherwise it freezes and you risk damaging your vehicle. So yeah… fun stuff, living where the air hurts your face 😅 Come to AK! But do it in the Summer, for sure. But then there’s skiing at Alyeska in the winter which is phenomenal.

The duet @1:00:09 🥹💜 I'm getting married this March & I can't think of a better first dance song than yours, Matt ! Thank you guys so much for being GENUINE humans 🤗 Until next time peace out dudes!

thank you so much for the encouragement abby! i’m a freshman in high school and i looooove to watch ya’ll’s podcast! i’ve been here since the beginning!!😊🩷

I like Matt’s money perspective on this episode!!

abby going "oh man..." after matt said he just dreams when he looks at the stars is pure gold. love it :D

35:17 I agree with Matt on this one. First of all, nannying and mowing lawns IS a job because you are making money. It’s not only about work ethic but they learn the value of a dollar. My parents provided ALL of my basic needs but if I wanted to go to the movies with my friends I had to pay for it myself. They learn that way. My kids school DOES require finance

Love coming home on my Wednesday afternoon after work to see you guys podcast at 5 every Wednesday

It does hurt seeing someone you love pass away but can also bringing you joy. My wife had 100% staff pneumonia, was in a coma, and was a juvenile diabetic, and through a dream told me she needed my permission to go with Jesus. I’ll be seeing her again someday

I’m 54 & my girls are 18, yes twins graduating this year. When they say it takes a village it really does!!! Especially in the high school years. I was fortunate to have a bestie that was only 27yo when we met. She was a life saver!!! Children don’t “hear” their parents, they’ll listen, or act like they’re listening, but they don’t really hear it. However, when someone around their age or even a family member that they respect, I’m fortunate to have LOTS cousins that are slightly older than they are, they’ll listen to them. Trust me when I say surround yourselves with good Christian friends with the same beliefs now so as your kids grow they have others they can reach out to. Hope this helps. ❤❤❤

this is my favorite podcast ever. matt is hilarious!! i love his ADHD tendencies and jokes

These are my absolute favorite moments with you two. Thanks for a wonderful year of the Unplanned Podcast!

I look forward to every Wednesday!! Love Matt and Abby so much and how they just feel like your friends sitting in the room with you!!

You don’t want to freeze your age- 40 is the absolute BEST age!! So much greatness is coming!!❤❤❤
