Elton and I simply ADORE you and Mr. Maple!!!
You're so amazing love u and Elton John:)
We love you back, Molly!!
Cannot name a more iconic duo/quad than Molly & Elton John with Paul and Mr. Maple
I’m La and saw you and your boyfriend 😮❤😂😂
Sorry I didn’t say hi haha love collaborator 😂
I am not blind. But I have a progressive invisible disability and Molly was the person who got me to finally accept that I’m in fact disabled and needed to start using my resources and accepting myself instead of working against myself. And because I watched her it lead me to this channel where I can see a healthy loving relationship where disability isn’t a burden. The visibility that you and Molly and so many other disabled TH-camrs provide is something you all may never fully understand just how important y’all are.
I have physical disability and always felt so unconfident because of it. Molly’s description of a confident and capable disabled person made me realize that I can be all of those things as well.
Molly sitting on The Complete Work of Shakespeare and showing the height difference just cracked me up!!!
Too funny!
Lol I read comments before I'm done watching and I was like what are you talking about now it makes sense watch till the end lol
comedy gold right there
that is HILARIOUs, I remember thinking hm I guess legs do make up a lot of their height difference because they look pretty even sitting next to each other
@@MatthewandPaulOfficial I have the same book but the cover is a red wine colour and the pages are gold. XD
I can so relate. My service dog had diarrhea on the train one time. And it was a two hour trip. I was so panicked and embarrassed. The train staff got right on it, reassured me, and put fresh, ground coffee on it. Soaked it up and killed the smell.
I love Molly’s confidence. It draws you to her. The two of you together are not only hysterical, but so informative to sighted people. I appreciate all your content and look forward to lots more ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
NOT THE CHILDREN FALLING IN SLOW MOTION 😭😭 GAHSGHAHSHS
I’ve been watching Molly for years and P&M for a few months. I adore Molly and Paul together, what great energy! I hope this is the beginning of a lifelong friendship…..and that we occasionally get peeks into it.
Same!!
we have more planned!!
@@MatthewandPaulOfficial yay!!!
I am beyond excited for this collab!!! You two have a wonderful energy and chemistry together.
You could have her on the podcast since you’re in different locations if you start again. 🎙️👀
thank you!!
You both are so inspirational to me as a person with an invisible disability. I adore both of your Guide dogs, Elton and Maple.
So happy y'all met online and decided to collaborate.Hearing Molly talking about being blind at such an early age and how she dealt with is really inspiring.Molly and Paul are so in sync with each other love hearing about the good and the rough times they go through.Humor is good thing to have so Matthew thanks for the pranks.
Paul, your giggles and chuckles always make me smile. Your joy in life is absolutely contagious!
While I enjoy Paul and Matthew's lighthearted pranks and their sense of fun discovery, Paul's more serious posts (ie this one) really let me know who he is. And Molly, I've been following you since i first saw Paul invite you to his channel. As a sighted person getting increasingly stronger glasses with every visit to the optometrist, both of your channels are like a candle in the window, guiding me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! And great to know you enjoy some of the more serious conventions. Lots more of those to come!!
I’ve really been digging this collab, I’ve been watching Molly’s videos for a long time, so when I started watching Matthew and Paul, I wondered if they’d ever collab since they seem to have lots in common. ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Same here 😊
Two fantastic Canadians hanging out. Molly and Paul have such a fun vibe. Molly met Pete Gustin, the Blind Surfer. He taught her how to surf.
Paul and Matthew, Thank you so much for providing a nice environment for other disabled people like me to discover positive ways to deal with disabilities.
I've been following Molly for roughly 8 years. Even knowing all her stories already, I could've listened to a few hours of chat between the two of you lol. I absolutely adore both of you - and Matthew of course!
Thank you! 😁 As a nearsighted wheelchair user I appreciate when I interact with visually impaired people using aids or guide dogs because I know better how to interact physically with them in a grocery store or a public place like a sidewalk.
hugs!!
Paul is such a good interviewer! He did so well as asking the questions and directing the conversation! And I could listen to him talk all day! 😅
I loved this collaboration. Coming from humble beginnings Paul. Love you both 😮❤
Yay! Thank you!
this seems so sweet!!! Mr maple deserves lots of love from both of his dads! so cute!!!
I just love Molly so much and I'm so happy you were able to meet and everything. I remember when I first started watching her videos, It was like a drug, I couldn't stop myself bc I was so interested. Since I was a little kid I've lived and studied right next to a school for the blind and I would often see them walking around with their canes, but I never knew how to interact with them whenever they seemed lost, or anything about them really. It made me so happy to find her channel and be able to educate myself about the people I had grown up seeing but new nothing about. I'm so thankful for her channel also bc it made the algorithm show me your videos too ❤ now I get to learn and understand and know a little bit more about disability, I feel my life is richer and above everything I have a better understanding of when I have to step in and ask if someone blind needs help, which was my main concern since I was little bc of this school next to my house. Thank you guys :3
I’ve been watching Molly for a few years and I have been following y’all most of this year. I have an invisible disability and also use a service dog. When y’all were talking about embarrassing dog stories, I immediately cringed because I recently had my own also involving poop and jfk airport. 😂 When we were flying out of JFK recently it was raining and one of my dog’s quirks is that she does not like getting wet. She will walk in the rain if she has to and will only pee. Well I guess she held it as long as she could which was inside jfk before we could check in/drop off bag. Luckily it was solid and I had disinfecting wipes so I was able to clean up, but I was so embarrassed and my anxiety went up cause I feared I’d be barred from boarding my flight especially since my disability is invisible and my service dog is a chihuahua mix. But after some tasking and a delayed flight, we got home safely.
I can relate, because it's not just the blind who may resist using a cane. I developed Spinal Stenosis, and I was lurching along unsteadily, resisting using a cane. One morning on the way to work a man gave me the dirtiest, most disgusted look, and I knew right away he thought I was drunk at 9:30 am!
I use a walking stick, which mentally makes me feel less obvious. I am 79 years old, with many spinal problems, and I also use a upright walker, which gives me some place to sit if I need it.
How are u typing
I am so glad u have something to help you. But I seen Molly loosing hers. It's just another hard thing to go through for u all. So many obstacles for you to overcome . I totally commends you going through it all. I truly believe you are so strong in life. And I thank u both for telling your stories to this world.
thank you!
Molly's discussion about the guide dog breeds/mixes in Canada are fascinating and help me understand even more why that multi sensory exhibit showed such different dogs than we are used to seeing in the US!!!
I love all three of you so much!! The way you work with, talk about, and even have fun with your disabilities is so comforting and educational. Thank you guys for being so open and also for bringing some humor in a comversation that can be more tense for an abled person to get into.
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic interview!!! I love that humor is such an important part of your lives. Not only does humor make people feel comfortable, you laugh is infectious and brings joy to your viewers. Great video, always look forward to your content!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just when I thought this channel could not get more wholesome!!!! ❤
Hello from Molly's channel, and Canada! 🇨🇦
Yesssssss,omg can't wait!!! Love yu guys,watchin/writin from ontario,canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You and molly are amazing and inspirational humans and of course youre adorable guide dogs ❤
Love this channel so much, so wholesome. Keep being awesome
thank you!!
Love seeing you two together, all the videos you have done have been so fun 😄💕
Thank you!! 😊
love this collab its the best ive seen in a while
Molly- “facial wounds! They really bleed!!!”
Me who was bit on the face by a dog I was pet sitting on the eyes/nose area, and needed 2 hours of reconstructive surgery on my eyelids- “you can say that again” 😂😂😂
The disabled community is the only one you can join at any time. While I’m already in the community for multiple other reasons, had the dog bit slightly different, I could have gone completely or partially blind, lost an eye, etc. Thankfully I just have some nerve pain and twitching, but yeah. What’s funny is one of the thoughts I had while in the hospital waiting for surgery was “if I go blind, I refuse to use the cane….. I can’t trust myself to go anywhere without gps now, take away a sense and I’m doomed! Ima need to get a guide dog or a boyfriend stat to take me everywhere” 😂😂😂
I had an incident with a dog too. Only, it was my dog. I was walking my dog, and there was some food that someone threw on the ground. When my dog went after the food, he wrapped his lead around my legs. When I fell, my face hit the curb. I had a gash on my left cheek, half my face was bruised and I tore tendons in my left foot. I could have been injured a lot worse than I was. I have a little nerve damage in my toe, and a small scar on my face as a result.
Thank you for making these videos. They make me feel way more comfortable about myself and my blindness. And that I will eventually get used to it or be able to deal with it better.
Or be able to handle it better I guess I should say.
Incredible journey, for both of you! You deserve a lot of beautiful things!!! Don't change!!!❤
Of course Matthew wouldn’t put the link above Paul 😂
LOL it's there now
@@MatthewandPaulOfficialSeeing that Paul is pointing directly upward while Matthew eventually placed the link far off to the right makes me wonder if one has pranked the other -- again!
My favorite blind joke/insult is from a song called "It's all about the Pentiums" by Weird Al. "You are about as useless as jpegs to Helen Keller." Completely relatable for a blind person.
You two missed yur vocations, I'd love to see you employed as interviewers on mainstream television. Brilliant delivery, well done
In Scotland if you keep calling someone by the wrong name we say..." First to the lips, closest to the heart" so Maple is your wee love xxx Molly is an absolutely beautiful girl. xxx
I found that when I lost most of my sight and was declared legally blind the first hurdle was admitting that I couldn't do stuff. The second was having to use a cane that then showed publically that I had an issure and the third was getting my first guide. Even though I love dogs getting a guide dog to get around was the final breakdown that I was blind and my sight was not coming back.
I’m new to your channel! I love hearing your blind moments with Molly!
Love you guys 😊
awwww such perfect friends and the pups too
Ahhh this is my fav crossover episode ❤🎉🤩
Loving the videos and the whole vibe of this duo 💙 or quartet, or quintet 😆💙
Now this is what I call a fruitful collab.
So amazing this video❤ and i tought molly and Paul were siblings because their communication ( so energetic speaking!) and physical resemblance 😅 so funny 😂❤
4:35 I started using my cane more when I ran into the gym doors at my school, I managed to cut my lip on the corner of the door. I at least didn’t have to participate in gym that day
Molly's accident that led to her using a cane is so relatable :( I'm grateful to see y'all having this conversation though
Love your channel I will always keep striving will live this video
Glad you enjoy it!
Didn’t realize Molly was Canadian until she hit us with the “grade 2”
I love them together
To Molly and Paul!💕 i love all the faces of concern and asurance that neither of them could see. They frans ❤️🖤🤍
I watched Molly for years and years and then got diagnosed with RP earlier this year and went off her content for a while because it just upset me a bit. I’ve been getting back into her content but it still makes me feel a bit uneasy Knowing i have RP
I love watching you two nodding your head while the other one is talking.
Mr Maple, Mathew and Molly! There has to be a book in there 😁❤
I want more videos of you guys together!! Also Elton John and Maple!!
Hello!
I learned about you from a short video!
I'm especially a fan of Maple, but I also love Paul and Matthew!
Could you please change the specifications so that it can translate into Japanese in the future?
From Japan with love ❤️
I love this. When Paul mentioned their pranks I had the penguins in bed video come to mind and all I could think was man I wish I could sleep that deeply a bed full of penguins wouldn't wake me.
Omg!!! I'm going to need you two to make some "clothing merch" I need a HOT PINK Hoodie with the wedding cake image on it. And please make the images "huge" on the Hoodie. Thank you. Love you guys. God bless
I speak dog french! -Molly 😂
Seeing Elton John and Mr. Maple together makes me wish for a puppy bowl but with a bunch of guide dogs.
🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕
🎃 I LOVE you two together! 🎃
🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕🎃🐕
You two should write a book about being blind. The funny stories & not so funny stories. Would be a great book for anyone who is going through any type of sight loss. Short stories straight from the blind or anyone with sight loss themselves!
Like a “chicken soup for the soul” type of book. 📚
I’d buy it! 💯
Hi, question about the Breed/Mix with Bernese Mountaindog: i heard Bernese Mountain dogs have a rather short lifespan due to health issues - are the mixes healthier? I was really surprised to hear about Bernese Mountain dog being mixed in for guide dogs as i imagined it wouldn't make sense to extensively train a dog with a short life-expectancy.
Love the breed - just had no clue it could be any part of this sort of work
I believe it makes it a little healthier but it depends. Mira does trace health issues to ensure that certain dogs don’t reproduce if it’s known they have the genes to pass it down to offsprings.
Her first dog died at 9 for health issues while still a working dog.
Her second dog was genetically tested to have no genes for any issues to come up ( look up her video about dna testing to learn more) and was always shown to be very healthy until his last year.
You 2 perfect match ❤❤❤❤❤
Matthew should try to prank Molly 😀
Wait is this the part two I’m worried I’ve purchased a patreon subscription
They both blow my mind!! I have a cousin who is blind! He can’t have a dog because in Ontario Canada one must have a certain size apartment or a home. He just rents a room!
yeah, space can be an important factor! But he might be surprised at how adaptable a guide dog is to smaller spaces, as long as they can get out for some walks together!
@@MatthewandPaulOfficialIt sounds to me as though it is not the man's cousin who decided the living space is too small. I don't know if the deciding organization is at all flexible, but I recall how my father challenged his rehab org about not approving his release do to his having a narrow spiral sairway in his home. He persuaded them to come view the place and showed the viewer how the apparently narrow and tortuous steps were actually easier for him to traverse than a typical home stairway. He got his release aporoved.
I wondered why Mollie's dogs understood only French when she had no evident French accent or other speech mannerisms. Hearing her claim that she speaks "dog French" made me laugh out loud.
I live in Canada, and I had a French Canadian neighbor. His dog only understood French commands.The dog did not understand even one word of English even though my neighbor spoke pretty good English....unless he was drinking. The more beer that he drank, the less English he knew.
I don't know if you guys are still looking at the comment to this video, however, I have a Question? So, for a school project we are making podcasts on different "groups" of people who struggle with dehumanization and stereotypes. I was wondering if Paul, you are able to explain your experience and, Mathew, if and or what hurdles you had to deal with when establishing a relationship with Paul. Also, for the both of you, What would you like to see from the general public in supporting the blind community/What do you wish that the general public would change about the way we approach blindness. Thank you so much! I know that you guys must have a plan to make videos... however I would love it if you can respond to this in a video. IF not just replying to this comment would be great lol. I love you all so much, this Channel has really empowered me and makes me want to help make a change. Keep up the amazing work!
Also if Molly has any Ideas that would be great also lol!
Jesus I love stories about guide dogs
❤
This is great. Have subbed this stuff needs to get out. I see so many people who don't understand and try patting these dogs.
Lovely Cute Dogs!!!! Always!!!!
I would feel really accepted if someone close to me came up with a wheelchair related prank. Reality is I really don’t know anyone who is a pranker.
Idk, but you both look like siblings to me 😂
At what age did you begin learning braille?
I have a Berner
Have either of you had the opportunity to say “yes, I am blind!”?
Ive rarely seen blind people out and about at all or independently and its sad its clearly due to society not doing much in order to accommodate blind people better
Oh no, I just listening to the story about doggy diarrhoea in the airports.
Made me wonder, have they ever suggested to carry emergency puppy training mats for those types of situations?
You both look like siblings 😂😂
It seems like the progression into using a cane and eventually a guide dog is rather like the progression to using a wheelchair for some of us. I used to be able to blend in, now I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb.
Hugs!!!! Anu Suomi Finland 2023
Molly giving me ballerina vibes all of the sudden 😅 maybe it’s the bun, the pink and the sharp jaw bones ?!? Idk 😂 but looking gorgeous as always
My service dog once pooped on an moving escalator1 I was so embarrassed!
Oh that would be hard/awkward
With An Other Lovely Ones!!!! Always!!!
LovelyOnes!!!! Always!!!!
Could just say like top left top right of the screen I have retinitis pigmentosa also and I listen to y’all and I have no clue where y’all are talking about when y’all say here when it comes to the extend it one’s thank you
You should rename your videos to Paul and Molly!! Who's Matt?.... 🤪
Is Molly related to Keira Knightley?
No. She is not.
Well, one of Molly's fears is btw birds, which is very understandable.
every step may be scary but i think it is scarier for you since you cant see the step
day 1 of requesting maple leaf bebe penguins
Day 1 of us saying WE LOVE THIS IDEA.... but also I need more info. Is it like a baby penguin with a maple liead on its belly? Is it a plushie? This could work on so many levels
@@MatthewandPaulOfficial you could always do multiple, for example a rockhopper penguins with a rainbow mapleleaf on its head, wearing the mapleleaf like a tie. or more sutle like it being the whtite patch. it would certainly add some variety to the penguin pranks
so do some sketches of multple diffrent ideas, filter them down, you could even do a poll to decide which gets made into a plushie, beacause lets be honsest theese would sell faster than pumkins at halloween
peek a boo. a comment for the algorithm
haha thank you!!
Y'know, a lot of villians have kick the dog moments to show how evil they are. I think Paul might be secretly evil. He and Mr. Maple are planning world domination, kicking one corgi at a time. Maple is probably the mastermind.
(Joking, of course.)
I really hope Molly try standup at least once.
Two Canuks. Nice, eh.
