The Beestons on getting robbed, falling off a cliff & children on social media | Ep. 5 

Abby and Matt going crazy over the tea surrounding Derik and Sarah’s love story was so funny 😂💙

Literally laughed out loud when Matt said, “maybe she saved your life, gave you a reason to live” ☠️☠️☠️ you guys crack me up

Seeing Christian couples actually talk about sex and waiting for marriage and pleasure is so refreshing. Like yes, this is a beautiful part of life designed by God, and other than this podcast, I really haven't heard anyone else actually just casually talk about marriage sex. It's great.

I appreciate the Beestons being so honest about their first fight surrounding love-making! It's hard to be vulnerable about!

More of this, please. It’s so refreshing. Feel bad for Derek & Sarah with all the theft they’ve had to deal with.

I am as well so passionate about that subject regarding child exploitation. This whole topic has really shifted my mindset and it made me realize that maybe it was wrong of me to talk about my child’s issues online. My daughter went to a friends house with my husband a while back and when she came home she told me that there was someone there who knew so much about her and said that they have watched her grow up on facebook and she had no clue who this person is. She said she thinks that’s weird how other people know so much about her and we didn’t ask her if it was ok. Ever since then I have privatized all of her pics and I will only discuss my own stuff and nothing about my kids. I will leave it up to them to discuss their business when they are older.

NOTHING MAKE ME HAPPIER THAN WHEN YALL GET TOGETHER. I WATCH BOTH COUPLES ALLLLL THE TIME SO THIS GIVES ME SO MUCH HAPPINESS

“Collecting sticks” such a unique and cute way to fall in love!❤

Knowing that there are still men who will wait till marriage is so comforting to me

Been happily married 11.5 years and dated for 3.5 before. The best advice I can share with any couple through learned experience is that when you get upset and are about to fight, you CAN control your reaction. When you realize and understand that actions/reactions are choices, not reflexes, you then have two options. You can choose to add fuel to the fire, or you can choose to throw water on it and try to extinguish the fire. If both of you are aware of this and genuinely work to start doing this, it will absolutely change your relationship. That, and honest (but not brutal) communication. Grace goes a long way!

Dearest Matt and Abby, Derik and Sarah, Tanner and Lo, you guys don't know how much impact you have on us, we feel inspired, entertained and most of all, we experience healing❤️

While I'm pretty against parents being forced to raise their kids one way or another, it's pretty scary when you hear what kinds of things influencers know behind the scenes about how their children's content is being exploited by creeps. That would make me nope out immediately.

Love how you guys were so transparent! Thank you all for being willing to share so much of your lives with us! 🥰

“Didn’t perform well” ☠️ 😂 I love y’all and how transparent y’all are. Thank you for being real 😂

I love these young people so much! The Beestons( all of them), Mabbie😂 and Connor and Liana! They give an old lady hope!

seeing them blown away by another young couple is wild

This is absolutely no hate towards any of you, because I like your podcast, both of you have really cute families. It's just my own opinion about children on the internet. You mentioned that when your child says "no, I don't want to be filmed", you'd turn off your camera. And that is awesome and more people should do that, but I don't think a 2 year old, let's say Jack as an example, is aware of what the internet is. And you might post something about him that he says yes to and then 10 years later he regrets that video is on the internet forever. And it's not even just about little kids, because you can't give informed consent until you are 18. Another thing is the memories, I get that, but you don't have to upload those memories to millions of strangers, because they are for you! I also understand how it makes you feel good when people message you and say lovely things about your family and kids, but I could not not think about those people who don't have good intentions towards my family.

I absolutely love the honesty and vulnerability in this podcast episode.

Watching Matt and Abby respond to how the beestons met and how long they dated before getting married made me laugh because living in utah I was just like yep that sounds completely normal 😂

I love Derik & Sarah. This was a fun episode:)

When if comes to filming the kids, remember you don't have to post the videos, but you still will want the memory. ❤

@48:34 Completely agree with Matt! I been watching a lot of their videos & Abby is always complaining about Matt in someway. Yet I never hear him say anything negative about her. Or at least not very often. I too would get bothered if someone was constantly annoyed by me.

Best pod cast ever. It didnt feel like a pod cast it felt more like a conversation between friends. It flowed so easily. I hope you have the Beeston's back sooner than later.

Two fantastic couples!😊 I love that you guys are not afraid to talk about uncomfortable topics, like having difficulties with sex for example. Society only talks about the amazing, magical sides to it, but in reality, it’s not always that way right away, and that is ok!

I just love and admire deriks honesty and sarah giving and adding cause its sooo important and eye-opening to hear someone speaking about hard stuff we go through and scared to speak up

Sara - you don’t have to apologize for tears.

I love both families. It’s nice to see two social media influencers get together and have raw conversations. Thanks for this!

I love Sarah so much! Her and her family seriously are such rays of light in the chaos that can be social media! I am glad they share their life with us and hope they learn to ignore the haters!!!

Derik and Sarah are amazing parents and the videos they create with their children are done with such care they should really be proud of them. They will be such great memories for them to reflect on with their kids as they get older.

Love the honesty about each couples' fights. Your authenticity is surely appreciated by your subscribers and makes us love following y'all ❤

I really love Derek and Sarah. Thanks for having to them on Matt and Abby 🤍

Matt freaking out about being engaged for 13 months, meanwhile me and my husband got engaged 4 months after our first date and were engaged for 2 and a half years. 😂 God bless them they’re all so sweet❤️ My husband and I met January 2020 and got married November 2022. I wouldn’t change it for the world, he’s my rock🥰 We love the new podcast Matt & Abby. Sending love and happiness from Texas!

I LOVED this format of the podcast! Especially talking on marraige and raising children. This is all real life and life is messy. I wish more people had discussions on these topics. Too many people give up on marraige these days because things are not perfect. Its good to hear other couples talk about struggles and overcoming them. I hope to see more of these. Great show!

As pertaining to filming kids, I think it’s ridiculous when creators say, “These videos will be our home videos.” The same was said by Kate Gosselin about the Gosselin kids and look at the way that turned out!! I think creators have to be very careful because they know if they don’t have their kids in their videos, their videos won’t be as popular.

About the filming of children topic, i just want to say that I think it's important to consider what kind of content are you putting on the internet. Would your child be ok with that in 10-15-20 years? Would they be embarrassed? Would they be ok to see that their parents showed the entire world some really hard moments they had (like some tantrums)? Because I'm pretty sure at 2 years of age they can't really decide whether it's fine with them or not. And it's not about them not wanting to be filmed right now, but more on the impact those videos may have on them once they realize how exposed they were once.

As a person who never ever listens to podcasts cause I get distracted too easily, this has been the only one that has actually caught my attention! I`ve been your main channel`s subscriber for a while now and the news about you guys starting your own podcast made me feel so hyped since I already knew it`d be a banger! Also I`m following the Beestons and enjoy watching their videos as well so it was really exciting to see them featured here! Sending both of you, Matt&Abby, loads of love and looking forward to see more episodes!!💕

I quite agree Matt, that was hurtful - "a gazillion things"???

Much respect to all of you for having a real conversation. This was a great listen

Very proud of both couples. My husband and I met and got married within 6 months after meeting. We have been married 27 years. You will go through challenges but keep working through it. Your relationship is worth it.

I love this. I love ya'll together. It's nice seeing young couples have such outstanding family values and show young families in such a positive light. I can't stress enough how important it is for kids to see that these traits hold such a high value and esteem. Thank you all ❤️🤗

Loving this podcast! Need a part 2 with Sarah and Derik, could have listened to you for a couple of hours. Honest wholesome conversation

I love the four of you together ❤️ Your’e all such humble, wholesome people and AMAZING parents!! This was a great podcast! Sending you all so much love!

Something about the unconditional love & support can really help you come out of your shell ❤ so relatable

I just love all of you! ❤️You guys are such a breath of fresh air! You guys make us laugh, feel good inside, sometimes feel sad, but overall, you guys are showing the world that there are wonderful people out there who love their children and their lives, and respect the world! You bring so much JOY to all of us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Don’t listen to what all of the haters are saying, they are just jealous that you are happy! I started crying when I saw Sarah crying! There’s no need to make comments that are negative! So if people make them, don’t even read them! WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!😀❤️😍😘🤗❤️🥰

I never watch or listen to podcast but this one, THIS, just truly hit different it was so easy to watch I love how you guys are friends and the convo can just flow so easy💚

I love how you guys are opening up and setting examples and giving advice. You guys are awesome ❤

You guys are all absolutely killing it - I’m so happy for you & the progress you’ve made since starting RU-vid!! Never give up, don’t stop being you & keep doing what makes you happy ❤ Each week I look forward to watching either the Vlogs or the Podcasts. Lots of love & support from Canada 🇨🇦

Sarah and Derik are incredible parents and a wonderful couple. Thank you for having them on your podcast. 💗

My husband and I got married less than a year after we started dating…same thing. We have been married for 25 years. Had our first child ten 1/2 months after we got married . 4 children total. It’s been an amazing time. Just gets better❤❤❤

I look forward to this podcast every week! So much fun seeing you all in this format- feels like we are hanging out. Keep it up Abby and Matt 🤭

Sarah laughing when she remembered what their first fight was about 😂 I should not drink coffee while watching this, it was too funny. Love you all

The part with them talking about their icks about each other is the closest I've ever seen Matt and Abby almost start fighting on camera lol😂

I LOVE the beestons! Sarah is such an inspiration to me and Derik is such an incredible dad🤍

Omg i love them so glad Matt and Abby brought them to their podcast so excited for this one

I’m so glad you guys started these! I listen to them on my way to work and I feel like I can relate so much to you guys, being married young (21) and first time parents.

I just found both of the couples in the last month or two and have been binge watching them so this made me very happy

I’m 10 minutes in and I am so lost yet could listen for hours, love the podcasts and your awesome guests!!

loved listening to you talk about the realities of parenting and how it throws planning out the window. From when our daughter was about 6 months old I realized if it's really important I could plan it 2-3 months ahead for things like gifts and have it go 'to plan' and otherwise it's probably not gonna happen or happen late. Kiddos just need so much and the curveballs that come with them make life so erratic.

Really enjoy all four of you and your evolutions into relationships, kids, work. You're doing a great job and the honesty comes across🙂You do what works for you and be happy!

I’m convinced Matt is the most wholesome human on the planet. I was so sad when he said Abby’s icks about him hurt his feelings 🥺🥺

I absolutely love all the collabs yall do! Such a great group of people!

I’m 32 and pregnant with my first child. The reason I love both of your channels is because you are great parents, a great family, showing ups and downs and all the realness. I’m so excited to have this baby, you guys are so inspiring for me x

This truly is the best of both worlds ❤❤❤❤ I freaking love y’all individually & when u come together, it makes me so happy! We all need more!!!!!!😊

Love love love you guys! Idk if Abby remembers, but I had an acting class with her freshman year of MSU with the one and only Ms. Lisa Brescia and I always remember Matt picking her up EVERY CLASS and pulling her on his skateboard. Have loved watching you grow over the years and pray for amazing blessings in ya’ll life! Keep being you and shining your light!

I‘d be so pissed, if my parents had exposed me to the entire world on YT, being the very private person that I am.

Love this!! Sarah and Derek seem like amazing parents. They are creating lives and futures for their children that most people could only dream of, keep your head up guys!

This is such a great podcast with the Beeston Fam!!! Y’all are so much fun to watch!!!

The collab we never knew we needed!!

I'm so excited about this episode!! You guys are the best duo!

I love the beestons! All of them lol but this seems to me the funnest and realest I’ve seen and to open up about early marriage problems when you seem perfect is awesome! Love Matt and Abby as well! I’ll continue watching!

Matt & Abby, you guys are hilarious to watch and listen too. I am loving the openness of these conversations. ❤

I stumbled upon this podcast by accident and I am so glad I did! The best part of my Wednesday! So excited for baby #2!!! ❤

Matt definitely lightens the mood 😂😂

Thanks so much for your honesty ! Was a great show. Enjoyed this so much!

Yay🤩 two of my favorite couples ❤️ Amazing podcast episode as always

I love this, especially the honesty. Thank you for sharing things with us❤️

Such a great podcast! Love you all and LOVE seeing your kids. Don’t ever change that. It’s refreshing to see young families and you do kids well 😘

Okay the fact y’all started a podcast is just… chefs kiss 🤌🏼 love you guys

i love the beeston so much omg they’re genuine people you just know

Hearing them talking about “creeps” and knowing that there are people who seek out videos of children on RU-vid but also say they want to protect their children from this is confusing

Thank you guys so much for your honesty. More than that, sharing the really deep thoughts and feelings. How terrifying must that be to put it out there knowing millions of people will hear it. But I hope you guys recognize just how much you will uplift and inspire your audience. I relate so well to moments of your marriages and find new insights. It definitely makes the feelings for my husband burn brighter. :)

I absolutely LOVED this podcast! My 2 favorite families in one podcast! Thank you so much! I enjoy watching you two and your families. I don't care what anyone else says, you both are wonderful parents and super people! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. You've both helped me through some rough times. Thank you.

I really loved this! You should have guests again. All four of you are so down to earth and love the transparency. Thank you!❤

I feel like Abby was being so rude about the icks. Like, I totally agree with Matt that his ick is her being annoyed about everything.

You 4 are the sweetest. I’m 62 now and raised my children alone and there is no manual when they are born to guide you and every child is different! There will ALWAYS be those who question everything! I have many regrets but at the time I did the best I could do. They turned out good! Don’t sweat it.

So happy their following on this channel is growing, they deserve it ❤

This was a great episode! I lost sleep over this one haha. Love the beeston family and marriage talk. This is awesome you guys, keep up the great work. I’m excited for the next one❤

Love the way Sarah & Derek look at each other ❤️

Love you guys so much Congrats on being pregnant again Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos I just want to say that I appreciate you all☺️

thank you so much for this! really good topics, raw talk, thruthfull... please do this more often!

This was so cool :) I have been watching The bestow fam for a while and it was so fun to get to know Sarah and Derik better. I'm rooting for a part 2 and 3 ;) Lots of love

I love Sarah,Sunny,Jack,Derik! Love you Matt and Abby, Griffin too!

SARAH LISTEN TO YOUR CONSCIENCE AND PROTECT YOUR KIDS!

I love this!!!! This unplanned podcast is really a hit! Keep up the great work y’all! 💜😘

Thank you for being such a positive light and sharing your REAL selves with the world! You will always be relatable when you’re transparent! You have a beautiful family and the world loves you and your precious kiddos. ❤️ Just remember all of this when you’re feeling too much of the negativity, there will always be negativity - but there will always be MORE of LOVE! 💕🥰🤘

I love your podcast! I’ve been following you guys for a while on your main channel and I love your podcast even more 💕

This was the easiest going conversation I have ever been a fly on the wall for!! Love this!! Can we get Matt and Abby to move to Utah with the Beeston families please?!

You guys are awesome and so right. Been married over 20 years and still figuring it out! It’s ebb and flow and not giving up is the secret to a successful marriage. It gets better after the down points.

I loved this pod cast. Thanks MATT& Abby. And Derek and Sarah. I had a great time. ❤

We need another Matt, Abby, Sarah, and Derik podcast I laughed so hard! 😂
