Josh and Sav seem so emotionally mature, it was super cool to hear them talk about stuff!
But Sav did experience racism. For a black women to say “yOu DoNt LiKe ChOcLaTE?” Is inherently racist. Black people can be racist just as much as white people can. Heck, ANY race can be racist…
Literally came here to say this exact thing. Racism exists in all cultures.
yes like a race doesn't need to be oppressed or experience systemic racism for someone from that race to experience someone else being racist towards them
Racial discrimination and racism are two different things. From a definition standpoint point, systematic oppression does add a different layer to racial discrimination. No matter what racial discrimination is wrong regardless or who the person experiencing it is. But racism has a different impact on whites people versus not white people in a culture where white people are the dominate race. The definition of racism isn’t simply racial discrimination, there are other elements to the true definition of racism - one is not necessarily worse than the other.
@@sarahloohoo2312so tired of this rhetoric. Essentially black people are too powerless to hurt others. Give us a break. Wrong is wrong.
@@sangel8079 You said that not me. Wrong is wrong - but racism is still different from racial discrimination. Most things people label as “racist” these days actually aren’t at all, it’s just discrimination. It’s one of the most misused words and it’s turning actual racism into “boy who cried wolf” shit and it’s created a culture fed up of even hearing the word. Educate yourself on the terms you use and you would start to see the issues too.
It's so sad...I'm in an interracial relationship, we should be celebrating these times, we are literally living "the dream", yet racism is still such a real thing 😔
Same here and, honestly so true
I agree. My husband is native american and we get looks. My first husband was african american. I had family who wouldnt come to our wedding. Its wild
@@bkessinger94that would be my family 🤦🏻♀️
To all above. I'm very sorry this things are happening to you. I'm a light skinned Mexican woman. Both my husbands were white. Unfortunately, in my circle of life I had no idea this was happening. I'm sending good vibes to everyone. Peace 🕊️✌️❤
@@bkessinger94 that's honestly crazy
In 2012, my senior year of high school, I got kicked out of my house for dating a black guy. He was a better person than I was. I proudly lived with a friend until we broke up for different reasons. Only sharing because I’m in Arkansas and yall mentioned the state. There’s always good people in bad areas, but my heart goes out to those having the same experiences that I did.
I grew up the exact same way!! My family was soooo against interracial relationships! Until I popped out 4 babies, lol my family did get over it. But it’s very real, and very sad!
Im also in Arkansas. My first husband was african american. I had family who wouldn't come to my wedding to him.
FYI - the process of placenta encapsulation looses most of the nutrients that it claims to have - rule of thumb if your body is getting rid of it probably means it doesn’t need it anymore (: or else your body would absorb it!
Yep. None of these “benefits” are proven
Yes! Because it also filters out the bad stuff..you don't want to ingest that
I encapsulated mine and the first time I took it I felt like I was on mushrooms. It was awful, I don’t know what the heck happened to this day
However, like most things, the placebo effect can have massive benefits on PPD & PPA (graduating as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in a few months, so I’m *almost* qualified to speak on this 😂). It doesn’t hurt, so no harm done! But I respect you sharing information!
Josh and Sav have such good vibes- I love their dynamic and the realness they bring!
LOVE this episode. All of the hard work you all are putting into this podcast SHOWS. The fact you’ve been able to maintain such consistency and quality having such a young baby is very impressive. Amazed by the both of you! 💛
Agreed!!❤
That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you!
Um it’s called a babysitter… nanny… family….
@@weenieboy_ I’m a parent. I have family and a babysitter. Guess what? It’s still hard work!! Never mind two under two, one being a newborn. That’s a lot, even with help.
This didn't even feel like an interview. It was really good. Maybe Abby can do future podcasts with moms postpartum and share their experiences.
Watching Sav flirt with Josh was sooo much fun and so so cute.
Abby I am a 56 yr old mother of two boys!! Who are now 24 and 25 years old! (15 months apart) It is a little harder to be the mother of the boy side of a couple BUT boys will always love their mama!!💙💙 pray for wonderful daughter n laws!! I have one already that is great!!
L&D nurse here! At 10:54, your placenta? If there’s any indications for it, the placenta is sent to the lab for testing. If not, you can donate it to a burn unit and it’s then used to create new skin for those in need, or it is discarded in a biohazard/medical waste bin. If you keep it, you have to sign a paper. We don’t want people planting them or burying them as they will rot and decompose and it’s not good for the environment for there to just be decomposing organs out and about that can cause disease and sickness.
Hope that helps a little!
I didn’t know who Sav & Josh were before this episode.. hearing them speak for the first time really made me wanna go look for them. Now they have a new subscriber ☺️
Ps. I appreciate you 4 being very conscious about keeping your kids’ faces private. Mad respect for you. 👏🏼 smart parents! The fact that Matt read Jeanette Mcurdy’s book 👍🏼
I HAD to comment. This episode was SO good. Im in an interracial marriage & wow this hit home. Im loving the conversational podcasts!!
i had a mixed baby 20 years ago with a african american man. you would not even begin to believe the hell and insane circumstances we went through. i remember being screamed at by a stranger while i was on my college campus very pregnant walking with him and they were telling me i should of had an abortion. complete strangers. once we we’re holding hands walking to dinner downtown (in a very diverse bigger mid west city) and i woman and her husband were staring us down but i didn’t know if it was in a positive or negative way…..we’d get both back then. and then she SPIT ON ME AS I WALKED BY AND SAID “n-word lover”. i was like 37 weeks pregnant just walking happily down to get dinner. smh i have hundreds of stories. i will say it’s improved a lot since the but BY FAR NOT ENOUGH!! and having a kid starting middle school at a majority white school during the first Donald trump campaign/election was so unbelievably traumatic and dangerous i had move and switch my children to different schools. the staff was equally as bad as the kids in my opinion too. it’s sad because if you don’t live in a circumstance where you as a white person has been in a relationship interracially or raised black children or had maybe black bffs then you have a fake sense of security that it’s not as bad as it really is. now like i said it’s improved over the years but by far not enough. and a huge portion of the population has literally no clue …..i see it with my own family who have lived in very all white communities and never left etc. it’s crazy. thank you so much for this episode.
I love josh and Savannah!!!! Can’t wait to watch this episode! ❤❤❤❤
Love all 4 of you guys, I worded that wrong! ❤️ really enjoyed the episode! I had 2 under 2 twice lol 2 girls 10 years ago, and then 2 boys a couple years ago! Absolutely love listening to such relatable things ❤️🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
JOSH & SAV ARE THE BEST!!! Thanks for having them on your podcast! I absolutely enjoyed listening to this conversation & hearing the differences & similarities in your worlds. So insightful & refreshing! 💗
Very much love and appreciate how deep these conversations get. Even just on both of your individual podcasts 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you all for your REALNESS!! Love how open and honest these conversations are. ❤❤❤
I’m a 51 yo Mom of 2 kids older than you kids & I don’t have grand babies yet. But I REALLY enjoy these podcasts & especially this one today! I had never heard of Josh & Sav but I really commend them for standing up for themselves in this horrible world with racism everywhere! I love that they have plans for their daughters for when they go to school & know they need to set personal boundaries for them! That’s just amazing to me that they are thinking that far ahead & tells me they are great parents!
Okay I hope this becomes like a frequent collab I love you guys together and I could so see Matt and Josh hanging out and Sav and Abby working out
You all are so amazing. Such strength and honesty that you all display to the world and that makes such a good connection to so many. You are talking about what so many people go through every day and now they don’t feel so alone. Don’t change. So sorry people have to be so negative. Who cares what one looks like, love who you wish. If they don’t like it, too bad. They can keep scrolling, keep walking, move on.
Halfway through watching this- and so relatable!! 3.5 weeks postpartum here- and I never connected that those night sweats in the first week were because of hormonal changes… I would wake up drenched with sweat. Also SO relatable about trying to be the chill wife but silently resenting your spouse 😂 it has def been tough with feeling like you carry the bigger burden because you’re breastfeeding so you HAVE to be up in the night, versus it being more optional for your spouse. Thank you guys for being so honest and real about what postpartum is like
Watched Josh and Sav's Podcast Monday and re-watched it yesterday. Now this?! YASSS ❤❤ please do more videos together 🙏🏽 love you guys!!
I respect both couples for actually sharing the truth about how rough it could be with a newborn. And I know my son cried a lot. For no reason too. If my husband wasn't here to help and to switch off so I can take 5. It's so worth it though and our relationship was definitely tested. I didn't always like him but I always loved him. (My husband)
Wednesday is now my favorite day of the week, I never have a problem getting out of bed first thing on Wednesdays because I am always excited for a new episode😊
I love how you guys lift one another up and encourage each other. That is so amazing. Keep up the good work, you guys. Best wishes to all of you ❤️ 😊❤
As a nanny the share with your nanny comment and nannys cat made me laugh 😂 my cat would definitely appreciate this content lmao
love the mom talks! Helps us young moms out ❤
YES!! I commented a few weeks back to have Josh and Sav on the podcast! So happy to see them here!
Great podcast episode! This is the collaboration we know we need it! Love both of you all and the season of life y’all are in. Hopefully I can meet you all one day in person.
Love josh and sav! So sad they moved away from michigan, but love that they moved closer to family! Definitely so excited for this episode! ❤
Loved this podcast! Thanks for touching on racism and interracial relationships.
But, as Josh just described, the racism is not one-sided. The lady on the train proved it.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking. Sav saying it's impossible for her to experience racism is just not true
@@madalynvanwormer652 It’s just plainly irrelevant and not in any way comparable to the racism that Black people and other ethnicities face. I think that’s just common sense at the end of the day. 🤷🏻♀️😂
@emikoautumn1631 never said it was... but I hate that your life must be so bad that you automatically felt that I was saying otherwise.
Thank you I was so bothered when Sav said she couldn’t possibly feel racism. Poor girl, that is brainwashing!
Not from her husband but from the internet
Y'all... what? You cannot experience racism as a white person.
"While assumptions and stereotypes about white people do exist, this is considered racial prejudice, not racism. Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions derived from perceptions about race and/or skin colour. Thus, racial prejudice can indeed be directed at white people (e.g., “White people can’t dance”) but is not considered racism because of the systemic relationship to power. When backed with power, prejudice results in acts of discrimination and oppression against groups or individuals."
Literally google "can white people experience racism?" And every single response will say no.
Love the podcast!! I would like to say give yourself and each other grace. Marriage and parenting is hard and it's something you have to work at. I was 15 when I had my first son and it was really hard and I got married at 17, and we are coming up on our 20th anniversary, so I know Marriage is hard sometimes but it is the best thing ever. I have 4 boys my oldest is 22 and the youngest is 16 , and now I have a granddaughter and one on the way. Just injoy life and your little one's.
My 2 FAVORITE TH-cam couples!! Can’t wait to get off of work to watch this!!! 🥰

I love both couples! I watch you both ! It’s been so helpful because I was pregnant around the same time as you guys with my first. My baby was born June 7th 2023 and for I while y’all were the only people around me dealing with the same things I’m going through. I’m truly a fan. Thank you for reminding me of my sanity 😅😂
Abby you’re so adorable! And your family is so cute! Thank you for being so true and amazing ❤
Great guests! Loved this episode
I almost died from internal bleeding after a c-section with our second baby and when I told my husband I was ready for another he was VERY against it. He saw all of my blood on the OR floor when the doctor screwed up and it scared him to see me so sick for weeks after but I just knew it was time (3 years later) I reassured him and he trusted me to know my body and we went on to have a totally healthy pregnancy and birth. I appreciated his support and trust.
first Kara & Nate and now Josh & Sav??? Y’all hosting my favs and I absolutely love it!!
I love all of your podcasts but especially this one thanks for sharing with us I shared this episode with someone to show my support
Wow this is crazy 😂 I just found Josh and sav on instagram from their interviews during her pregnancy and now y’all are podcasting together 😁🥰
Omg I love that you guys had them!
Best podcast and episode ever
I love you guys so much! I've watched literally every single video and podcast of ya'll
Love this collab.
Loved this!!! It’s so interesting as someone’s who’s also in an interracial relationship to see how other people in different ethnicities go about it. This collab was amazing! Cant wait for future episodes, especially the Kian and Ayla episode!! Much love y’all🫶🏼
I love the Podcast, it was so good
This episode just came out like 20 minutes ago, and I’m already listening to it at the gym😭
I love both of y’all so much!!
This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
More of this combo.
We were told a Daughter for life, a Son till he takes a Wife….it’s pretty true in our family BUT it’s the season of life we’re in w/young “adult” children. And momma & dada, just remember the days are long BUT the years are short!!! Keep on Keeping on💖
Love Josh & Sav literally the best 🩷
Hi Abby, Love watching you on TH-cam. I feel like you’d be the type of person to hang out with and have a great time with❤❤❤ Matt seems very emotional like me and I love that dude😅
I never had postpartum depression with my first 4 kids but with my 5th. I’m struggling and trying to make it through and I’m 5 months postpartum.
I have been married to my husband for almost 16 years and yes it is both sided!!! Its so sad that we are in 2023 but yet still dealing with racism... But I'm so excited my two fav couples are together in one!!!
Can't believe this is 34 weeks in!! Every episode is better and better! Thanks for bringing in the most real, authentic, caring people. I've learned and grew from each couple that has been brought on
You both.make all the guests feel comfortable opening up and being themselves, which is a great trait for a hoast/podcast
I loved this so much!
My two all time favs collide!!! Woo hoo!!❤
The pranks were HILARIOUS! And they both did so good on acting.. I always go back and watch them so please don’t take them down. Josh used to called Sav Pooter, I still remember lol. This was a great collaboration on both channels!! Enjoyed!
Haha getting choked out! She just wanted to give you a hug!
I think there something so ❤️about interracial couples
My two favorite couples in one place🎉
Matt!! I just love that you put that out there about not really realizing that racism is still a real thing that exists. I feel like our generation grew up that way, we only learned about the past but never realizing it was still in the present.
I feel like I've related to Josh and Sav the most because I'm in a long distance, interracial relationship also in Oregon. It's difficult in many different ways
Loved this podcast!
Lots of love to you guys!!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
Yessss! My 2 favorite couples!!
It’s really interesting seeing Josh and Sav be interviewed by people my age. It’s so interesting and I love it. I followed Matt and Abby cause the Age range is what I like. Not that Josh and Sav are OLD but like I feel like I relate so much to Matt and Abby but then I’m in an interracial relationship and myself and my girlfriend follow Josh and Sav together for this reason but I found Matt and Abby. These guys are my couple to follow. As a guy I know it’s weird but I love it. Matt by the way your music is fire wow.
They have a 2 year age difference
Its so crazy hearing you guys talking about MO(im new here on your page). I live in MO also, and spot on. Southern MO is yikes. Theres places all over the state, all those little BFE towns but forsure down south is terrible. Its so sad.
It's honestly both annoying and respectable when parents don't show their kids' faces. 😂 Like, I'm so glad you're protecting your kids' privacy. But I also wish I could see their beautiful faces lol. ❤
I love you guys! I live in phx Az tooo!!! You guys are my fav! Recently started watching this podcast I love it
I have mixed kids and I’m telling you they have received the hate from both sides. Black and white. They unfortunately have had situations where they were not accepted from either side. Black or White. And you might be surprised with who gave the most hate. It’s been a long road for them but they know who they are and whose they are. We most definitely just need to love the people and pray and know that we most definitely cannot change people but can hopefully be the change and teach the change. Blessings to you all. May we all support interracial relationships and not be haters! ❤❤ And I’m sayin, I absolutely love when I see a black woman dating a white man. Back in the day, that was more rare. But it’s most definitely increasing. I absolutely love all races and the children are absolutely beautiful. Love love love. Let’s do it! ❤ 💪🏽 💪🏻💪🏿
What a cute couple. Great interview.
The “Shurl” thing CRACKED ME UP!!!😂
MY TWOOOOO FAVORITE COUPLES YESSSSS
Love this episode! ❤
You should get Slice & Rice on here! I just love them. They're another young couple with 2 kiddos.
Yessss
I just have to comment. I've been a grandmother for 6 and a half years now, I had the utmost priveldge to be present with both my daughters when they birthed their babies. And seeing them being birthing goddesses were peak moments in our lives. Birth isn't something to fear or fear on behalf of our daughters, it is literally the most empowering experience a woman goes through. And to become a grandmother is epic!!
I'm pregnant now, and my mom was crushed when I told her I just want my husband in the delivery room. I'm so afraid that she is going to make me nervous or maybe make me give up if it takes too long, and send me to the C-section, that I chose not to invite her. But I feel bad that she cannot be a part of it.
@@Franciellestephanie both my daughters birthed at home which made a huge difference. I am close with them both, but also I am a qualified pre natal educator and doula, so I understand physiological labour and birth. I would 100% respect the choices and decisions of any woman whose birth I attended in any capacity. Sending you lots of love x
You are so right that it's the most empowering experience 😊 I had twins vaginally, and for the last 5 years I've used that to remind myself how much I'm capable of, and the experience has helped me handle so many other things.
@@laurenw1168you, ma’am, are truly a birth warrior! Not many can have twins vaginally (as of late), and of those who can, many still choose to elect for the cesarean. (I’m a L&D nurse)
If you can do that, I trust you can do just about anything! Go you!
This was fun!! We have 4 kids 4 and under and also are an interracial couple/cross-cultural marriage.
Just k=now discovering Josh and Sav, they're so cool and down to earth!!
Oh I love this duo 🥹❤️
hey keep it up this was a really good one ❤😂
I love these couples ❤
I absolutely love Josh and Sav ❤
I’m sending you all love❤❤❤
