The Mormon culture I was raised in, I was at the point where I'm like, I just need to get out.
We just moved in together.
What did your mom think?
Well, she wasn't for it.
Maddie Henderson and Matt Scharf are a famous TikTok couple that recently announced they're pregnant with their first baby.
We've been doing pull and pray for like the last three or four years.
Gotta be careful with that one.
And it started to kind of get in my mind. I'm like, are we just really good at pulling and praying?
It's such a weird thing to say.
It sure is, honey.
Matt is best known for his famous golf channel, Good Good.
But most people don't know that he was adopted from an orphanage in Russia when he was only about five years old.
Matt went to the baby orphanage.
And in the big kid orphanage, you kind of had to fight for what you want.
And in the baby orphanage, the cuter you are.
The more the love and attention you get.
When you read comments, are you reading positive stuff?
No, I read the negative stuff, Matt, that ruins my life.
Sarcasm does not read online.
No, it's horrible.
It's just because he's himself.
They just don't like him.
What's up, dudes?
And welcome back to the Unplanned Podcast, baby.
Yeah, today we have the honor of talking to Matt and Maddie, which your names go together so well.
People say that a lot.
Matt and Maddie.
People are like, it's so easy.
I remember.
And I'm like, I guess.
How are you guys feeling?
I mean, you have a baby on the way.
You just got married less than a year ago.
A lot of big life changes happening for you guys.
We got married almost three years ago.
Wait, what?
I know you said that.
I was like, that was 20 years ago.
Wait, why did I have it in my notes that it was literally like last year?
It was 2023.
You know, I do post about it.
Like, I'll do like, it's been a year, it's been two years, and it was like wedding pictures.
Because people have thought that.
Wow.
For sure.
So it's like you post stuff like it's new, but it's really from like two years ago?
I'm like, happy one year, happy two years.
See, you fooled me.
I literally, I thought you guys had been married for like six months, so.
Yeah, yeah.
We're almost, we're coming up on three years in August.
Oh my gosh.
Congratulations on three years of marriage, you guys.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Do you still like each other?
Like, how is that?
More than anything.
Yeah, of course we do.
Of course we do.
So I graduated in 2020.
I know I was one of those kids.
And graduated in 2020, and we were talking online, and COVID happened.
Because he was in Kansas, I was in Utah.
We met online, we were talking, and like right after I graduated, I moved to Texas with him.
So we've been living together for almost like six years.
Wow.
And then we got married three years ago.
Okay, why did I think you guys were like so much more like established and like older than us?
Like I read today.
I feel like that's true.
Because of that, like that we've known each other for six years.
So it feels like we've been married for six years because we started that process so early.
Maybe it's because you have a beard too.
Like I just have a, I've got like a baby face, no beard.
So then I read that you were born in 1999, and I'm like, what?
Like, I'm a 98 kid.
Like I just graduated 2020.
Yeah.
Like I, yeah.
In high school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
High school.
Wait, wait.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You graduated high school in 2020?
I turned 24 like five days ago.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
And actually his birthday was yesterday.
Happy birthday, both of you.
So he just turned 27.
Wow.
Thank you.
Okay, so then we're the same age right now.
We're both 27.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Good for you guys.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Wild.
You guys had kind of a special engagement too.
Tell the story.
Oh, here we go.
Yeah.
We.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, well, we went to Greece.
Yeah.
That was kind of crazy.
All right.
Perfect.
All right.
Thank you guys.
No, I have to tell you, I knew that.
And I have to tell you how I knew that actually.
My brother saw you guys in the airport in Greece.
Wait.
Yes.
Eddie.
Eddie.
I knew that.
Wait, we talked about that.
Yes, I know this.
Okay.
Yeah.
Eddie talked about that.
Literally, I bet Abby, or you probably had to bully him into saying anything.
Oh, I did.
My brother's not like this.
He's like very introverted.
We are actually really are nothing alike.
Yeah.
And so the fact that he actually.
He like has done this 0% of the time.
Wait, stop it.
Yeah.
Wait, that's so cute.
That is my freaking flops, bro.
I remember those days.
You guys were so nice.
It's the flops and socks.
It's the flops and slides.
Wait, wait.
What is this outfit you're wearing?
I don't even know.
I don't even know what the freak I'm wearing, bro.
I don't even know.
You got your flip flops and socks on.
The puma socks, too.
That's funny.
That's so nice.
Are those the Costco socks?
Yes, of course they are.
Let's go.
I've been wearing these things for like six years.
The puma Costco socks.
My mom buys me these because she's like, man.
Do you think they're the same quality as real puma?
Absolutely not.
Yeah, we wear them in our shirt.
Probably not.
That's so cool.
That's why I have to keep buying them.
We need to put the picture up on the video for everyone to see Abby's brother and Matt
in Greece.
And it was cool because we actually went with one of our other good friends, Grant Horvat,
who also does YouTube golf, and his now wife, Sadie.
And so actually they got engaged.
I had no idea that Grant and Matt were planning this like double engagement thing.
Because I thought we were going for her to get engaged and we were going to help out.
And they thought they were coming for me to get engaged.
And so really the guys were like, we're in Greece.
We're both doing this.
This is a movie.
So they did it like the second or third night.
Or second or third night, I don't remember.
And then the next morning we were like, let's go take photos.
Let's have a little photo shoot.
And I mean, you can't go wrong in Santorini.
Everywhere is just beautiful.
And then he proposed.
And then people even asked me, they're like, was that, did that bother you?
That like someone else got engaged when you got engaged?
Or you got, you know, was that like a problem?
And I said, we were both at the happiest moments.
Like it was like peak joy.
We just got engaged.
Now we're on a catamaran in Greece.
We were both so happy and so happy for each other.
It was like the most, it was, it was amazing.
And now here we are a couple of years later.
Having a baby, girl.
That's so cool.
Aw, girl.
So exciting.
I know.
I know.
Do you like all the cats in Greece?
There's like a bazillion cats.
Yes.
They have cats.
The cats were part of the, they were part of the humans.
They really were.
You go to a breakfast joint and then you'd look to your right and there'd be a cat sitting
in a chair.
Yeah.
Like with a plate.
Like they just got done eating and then they'd taken a nap.
I'm like.
No, they really treat them like that.
Like they'll be like, oh, the cat's sleeping.
You can't sit there.
Yeah.
Like you can't, you can't mess with them.
They're like treated like kings and queens.
I'm like, good for them.
And they're so precious and so cute.
And I'm a huge, well, just animal person in general, but I love cats.
Um, right now.
And I mean, they're just, I always check my ring.
Like we have Rover checking in on them when we're gone and I just always check my ring
and just see what they're doing.
It's like, I know they're like not actual human, like children, but they're the closest
I have right now.
Right.
Right.
When you said Rover's checking in on them, what is that?
You never heard of Rover?
Wow.
Man, you're missing out, man.
I don't, I'm so confused.
I don't know what Rover is either.
So what do you do when you guys go out of town?
You put them in boarding?
No, we have, no, no, no.
We have, she has her own babysitter.
A dog sitter.
Okay.
She comes here and stays with us.
So Rover.
That's pretty much what it is.
That's, that's, that's what it is.
So you can have someone stay in your home.
You can have your animals stay somewhere else or you can have someone basically check in
on your pets.
Oh.
So we have someone come twice a day.
We love her.
She's amazing.
Sasha.
Sasha.
And she comes in twice a day and checks and plays on, plays with the cats and comes in
the morning and then comes in the evening.
No way.
Is that like an app?
Like a Rover?
Rover.
It's literally called Rover.
It's an app.
Yeah.
That, that should be.
I have a couple of friends who work for Rover too.
They just go to make some extra cash, go on dog walks.
Wow.
That's pretty cool.
Rover should like clip this.
This is like a perfect ad for them.
Yeah.
This is an easy ad.
To be honest.
If you use code MadMaddy15, you can get 15% off your first purchase using Rover for the
first three months.
You can actually get 15% off.
Low key, we should reach out to Rover because they've kind of changed our lives.
Yeah.
They're kind of sick.
In a great way.
Our dog honestly likes her dogs that are better than us.
How do you feel about being married to a cat lady?
Oh, I love it.
I mean, I've been an animal dude my whole life, so I, I, I love cats.
I had cats growing up.
I had dogs.
I had dogs growing up, so I freaking love it.
See, we almost got one like a couple weeks ago because our three-year-old is like.
Oh, a couple weeks ago.
Yeah.
Well, he's, he's just randomly will say stuff and then when he says it, like I just, we
love our kids, so I just, I want to give him the world.
You're like, yeah, we'll make it happen.
He's like, I want a cat named, uh, what did he say?
He was like, I want a cat named Thor.
Thor.
He's like, I want a cat named Thor.
Oh, what a great name.
It's a great cat name.
I'm like, yeah, let's get a cat named Thor.
Come on.
He has never said anything else about it since, so if we would have really acted on that,
that would have been crazy.
But then I remembered that I'm like highly allergic to cats, so.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's the bummer.
And that's, that's like.
Yeah.
That sucks.
I, I feel, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
I would just be sneezing all the time, you know?
Yeah, that's not fun.
You guys don't have allergies to cats, do you?
I have horrible allergies.
Oh.
Not, not against animals.
Not against animals.
He's like, I'm dying every day.
Yeah.
I have horrible seasonal allergies and stuff, so like I, I get the pain of horrible allergies.
So you're, you're not with the cats.
You're taking your like Zyrtec or.
Clarendon like daily, that way you're not sneezing with all your cats in the house.
I mean, when it's bad, it's, yeah, I try and take it every day or.
Their shedding season is bad.
Yeah.
Their shedding season's bad, but sometimes it's like, I'm great.
Like I haven't taken, I haven't taken allergies all week.
We've been one week.
And I haven't eaten.
I've been in one week.
That's so good.
I haven't had any problems.
That's so good.
Wait, can we like rewind a little bit?
Because, okay, your engagement story is incredible, but I want to know more about like how you
met, how you started dating long distance.
We met online.
I, well, wait, what?
You met, you met online?
Yeah.
We met online, but it's a very modern day love story.
So I, I was scrolling on Tik TOK as one does.
It just became Tik TOK.
Okay.
It's not musically anymore.
You know, it's back then.
So this was probably November of 2019.
Um, and I was just scrolling on Tik TOK and I saw this, this guy do this impression of
Jack Sparrow in a mirror.
And I just was like, and I don't, I don't, I'm not the person to comment.
He looks cute or hot or, you know, any of those things, but oh my goodness, my breath
was taken away.
I was like, I was like, he looks just like Will Turner and he's doing this Jack Sparrow
impression and it was just it was absolute peak it was so good and i just i commented cute oh wow
and i had no idea what that would have turned into because he saw that i was verified and because
you know he was looking through comments he's like oh my gosh a verified chick commented wait
you were verified when as a kid verified in 2019 no way verified i think i got verified probably
yeah like the beginning of my senior year of high school oh my gosh for dance stuff no i just did
the comedy like lifestyle stuff definitely cringe like i look back and i'm like how could i post
this like i'm like oh we've all been it's so bad like sometimes i'll literally see a video from
six years ago and i will be like archive archive yeah that's an archive post this is just rough
well because it was the time i was like i was like 16 17 you know it was the whole world was
kind of cringe it was just weird yeah i how i know you guys how i discovered you is when abby and i
were doing a show and i was like oh my gosh i'm like oh my gosh i'm like oh my gosh i'm like oh
more couples videos in 2020 you guys would do this just in case series what whatever happened
to the just in case series so yeah the just in case like someone tries to attack you yeah just
yeah just in case all that stuff so i actually started that um before he was in the picture
with actually one of my good friends um in high school and it was just we were we were hanging
out one night and i said hey you want to make this like fun video with me he's like yeah let's do it
sure and so we just made a random fun video and it got millions of views and
and then i was just like let's just keep going my mom was like you should call it the just in case
series because like pretend or defender like weird whatever and i'm like okay great and then it kind
of just evolved and then as he you know as we started dating we started evolving it more and
then it got to the point where it's like there's not much more just in case you can do yeah she
kind of covered all of it i'm like just in case your mom comes home and the chicken's not dethawed
yeah you know it's like i hit every base um and and it was just it's a very um
character you know type of video to even make um and i think what's interesting too is i'm like i
am i'm 24 now i was 16 15 15 16 when i started making these videos i've grown up and changed
mature wise life wise a lot in those years and so sometimes i look back and i'm like wow
this is so cringy but i'm also like yeah i'm 16 you know like i'm naturally i'm going to be
different than than i am now right you know my content is going to be you know different but
um anyway i saw the jack sparrow impression fell in love with this guy and i was like this is so
cute i know it's so easy and um he reached out to me and we just kind of started dming each other
on instagram um and actually you sent me a snapchat but i never added you back for like a
couple of months because i had no idea i'm so sorry it was a rough time for me i i had no idea
but he sent me a snapchat of him doing like this like two minute long jack sparrow impression and
i didn't see it until march and so i didn't see it until march and so i didn't see it until march
i finally add him back and i see this impression and it was definitely a good icebreaker because
you know how you know starting phases you it's like oh here's the shoulder snap you're like
getting snapchats you know you don't like show your face or whatever i was like wow he really
went out of the way to start this snapchat we are just very much ourselves and so i just responded
kind of the same exact way and we just became best friends through through the phone he was
in kansas at the time um and that's just yeah we did all that and then covid happened what else do
during covid but hang out and so he stayed at my mom's house which my mom thought was crazy that's
a whole other thing um and and then here we are now years later wow okay wait matt what were your
first impressions scrolling through all of her musically videos getting to know this girl that
just like slid in under your comments on your jack sparrow video yeah it was kind of crazy i i mean
she was doing this just in case series with another boy and i was like all right well i am obviously
done but um no i thought they were hilarious i i was very intrigued with like how much she's
herself especially like on an app like that you know i was around when vine was a thing and it
was kind of similar um so like looking for like that genuine genuine person it's very difficult
yeah and so like i found her and i was like wow she's actually just i think she's being herself
i mean i obviously didn't know her but i was like looks like she's just trying to be maddie whoever
that is yeah um and then watching all the videos and i really didn't think they were cringe because
i was also cringe right like if i looked at him now i'd be like what type of cringe videos were
you putting i'll just not even go there brother it's just not even it's just not even a train
to get on thirst traps at the time no i don't thank god i didn't do the thirst traps i was
more of just like i never did that kind of stuff it was just i was just weird i was just a weird
um and so i saw that and i was like man this this girl kind of matches my personality
and then um you know i had been talking to other girls at the time and none of them were really
like hitting and i was really hitting off with any of them and then i i was talking to garrett
and this is after i kind of was talking to maddie for a little bit and i was like dude
i kind of like this girl i think this could be something and garrett's just like driving the
truck and he's like okay he's heard this so many times before um and then you know progresses and
she's asking me to go to this freaking tiktok conference thing i don't even freaking know
it's called tiktok live tiktok live and i'm like i don't remember
that from like way back when right before covid hit yeah we weren't on until after yeah we didn't
get oh see we started making tiktok dances when we were like in quarantine you know and you guys
were in hawaii at that point right shortly after shortly after we lived there for a year okay yes
because i remember i don't know where in my files in my memory but i remember you guys living in
hawaii at one point yes okay okay yes we did like six months after that was that was a fun time
how was that was that hard living there with coven it was actually great because we were living like
in the like the country sort of area so the the restrictions weren't as high and we could just
like go to the beach and go hike so it was just you could do anything outdoors yeah we were outside
every day i mean you're in hawaii why wouldn't you be yeah we lived in like a little shoe box
so we were right by the water so it's just like you hear the water the ocean when you're going to
bed and yeah we didn't have ac though that was no air conditioning yeah well okay so when we were
living in hawaii in 2021 we were like oh my god we're like oh my god we're like oh my god we're
for you guys you said you guys like lived together for six years was that in texas then or kansas or
where exactly was that texas yeah so i just had a lot of stuff going on like family wise and i was
just ready to get out of utah yeah you know um and utah very much especially in the in the culture i
was raised in the mormon culture it's a bubble you know where i it is like it's it's its own
little world there like i watch secret lives mormon wives and i'm like uh-huh really it's just
such a it's such a different world there and um and so i was at the point where i'm like i just
need to get out i just need to be away and he was living in kansas but him and all the good good guys
this was before good good was started that his golf company and um they were like well we're
moving to texas to like really try to do this thing and um it was just kind of like yeah well
i was i want to move out i don't know where whatever come to texas you know what screw it
okay i'm coming to texas yeah and so we just moved in together into
you know and that was august of 2020 and then um it really it's interesting because it's like
we only were dating for a couple months at that point we only met at the end of april april 24th
of 2020 so that's when we met each other for the first time and then we moved in august 1st
again this is a crazy story like the fact that this that all worked out the way it did i tell
my mom i'm like i don't know everyone probably thought it was crazy i look back and i'm like
holy crap like if my daughter was doing i'd be like what are you doing like this is crazy
um it but it worked out so perfectly we're so blessed and lucky to have it turn out the way it
turned out growing up in utah what did your mom think when you're like yeah i just graduated i'm
gonna go move in with this guy like what right what did your mom say what did your mom say to you
um well she wasn't for it it was i was kind of going through a little rebellious phase where i
was like i was making money on my own you know and through tiktok and i'm like oh my gosh just
made a hundred bucks i'm rich you know yeah i was like i'm gonna move in with this guy and i'm like
and and i'm and i was you know young and i just graduated high school but also
covid it was like the whole world was shut down everything was just weird it was a weird time
and my mom was going through my mom and dad had been in this like eight year divorce
thing and so they she was just going through her own version of hell and you know whatever
and so i was just kind of like i'm just getting out and i'm like i use the quote i'm 18 i can do
whatever i want so she's like i either support or i don't you know i'm gonna hate when our kids
pull that off
i can do whatever i want and and i and i did and you know usually at that age you can't afford to
do that yourself but luckily because of what you know what i was a my content and stuff i was
and so i just i just did it and she was supportive it was kind of more my like other fam like my
in-laws and extended family and all of my friends being like what are you doing and i'm like this
i'm just moving to texas did you with this guy did you still like identify as like mormon or lds at
the time
when you like moved like moved out of utah or was or was that like was that your i guess version of
breaking away from that it was very strict i guess in in my in my upbringing and very much on
um in every aspect of our lives and so but when my parents um started their divorce process when
i was 16 it kind of just all felt kind of fell through like we just you know i would go to church
and people would talk to me about it and i'm like i don't want to talk about this so i just i stopped
going to church i whatever i'm kind of figuring out and matt and i believe too
i believe every you know no matter what your upbringing is whether you're raised in a church
or raised not you have to come to a point in your life where you actually have to
make the decision for yourself. Do I believe this or do I believe this because of my testimony or
my parents' testimony? And I didn't have my own testimony. I mean, I thought I did, but it was
only because that's what I was around. And, um, then we went, I kind of was just like, I'm not
Mormon. I'm not this, I don't know what I believe. And I did that for a couple of years. And then
Matt and I actually found God together, um, about three years ago. And, um, our lives have been,
you know, redirected in a very positive way ever since. But, um, I know I'm no longer LDS.

Thank you to ASPCA for sponsoring today's episode. You guys, we're obsessed with our dog. I love her
so much. She is so silly sometimes and eats our drywall and eats our rug. But at the same time,
I love her and I would do anything for her. She cuddled up next to us on the couch last night and
I was like, you are just the best little snuggly thing. She's a part of our family now. So that's
why we're excited to share a quick message from today's sponsor, the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance
Program. Have you ever found yourself urgently Googling your dog? If so, let us know in the
comments below. We'd love to hear from you, and if you have any questions, feel free to email us at
[email protected]. You're certainly not alone, especially with a puppy. I feel like
our Google search history is always like, is she going to die right now? We're always concerned.

definitely affected like emotions taken out of it what what is the teaching of what eternity looks
like if people get a divorce in in the church well um i mean it depends kind of who you ask
what i believe from when i was in the church what the doctrine said at the time was that you'd have
to do a a ceiling break so they'd have to actually go into the temple and break a ceiling oh wow um
which is like a very big deal and then um but some people choose to stay sealed like uh my mom knows
some people who are divorced but they just have stayed sealed so they'll be together in heaven but
just not on this life in this life um and um but my mom and dad yeah they they ended the ceiling
but then it just throws the kids through a loop it throws your mind through a loop you know being
the child of that and trying to understand what that looks like heaven already is so difficult to
understand um and so it just it was just a whole other added level of like you know hurt i guess
you know yeah wait matt
were you raised like christian mormon like yeah i was i was raised like non-denominational well i
guess i was actually raised methodist for a little bit we did methodist church and then i was kind of
raised i would say non-denomination non-denominational christian pretty much my my entire life
gotcha um going to the church going to sunday school going to little you know trips and stuff
and um yeah that was pretty much my my entire upbringing yeah gotcha and then so then i guess
meeting each other and like yeah just deciding to be a couple were your parents at all like
oh you're gonna like marry the the girl from utah like was that any or did your parents were just
like you just do whatever you want we love you like yeah pretty much they didn't they didn't
really have like a huge say in my relationship status i guess they really they never really have
um it was kind of like hey you know if you like her and you know or i don't know if we were at
love i guess yet but if you love this girl like you know pursue it and you know just kind of do it
dope yeah it wasn't like a don't you dare kind of thing you know
even if i had told them even if i think i told them that she was you know lds i don't i still
don't think they'd have been like don't do that like i don't think they would have i don't think
they would have really cared when did you guys start talking about getting married like when
did that come into the picture day one day one oh wow i'm kidding um i mean it is funny because
you know
most people when it's like you meet you meet you meet a guy and you go on a date and they take you
out friday night and it's like you want another date and you go again friday night the next
friday night you know with covet it was like we were talking on the phone 24 freaking seven because
like again what else is there to do and then he literally came to then stay at my mom's house in
the basement for longer than that because we went to vegas yeah it's two weeks we drove on a road
trip to vegas and the strip was closed and it was really cool to see the strip not all you know
filled but um
and again this was like the beginning of covet and so then all of a sudden we were spending every
waking moment together and then we got covet together so then we were quarantined together
even longer and um we just it just all it all happened really fast um which i see that now
but also it didn't feel fast it felt like it was like we've known each other forever we had
this found we had such a foundation i think too from talking online that it wasn't like a um
it was like we we only could be best friends we couldn't have any of that physical intimacy we
couldn't have any of that for months and so we just grew such a strong base of friendship before
we even met each other you know and then it just kind of we were best friends before we were
anything else that's so sweet and it seems like you guys have like the same sense of humor i feel
like we do sometimes i forget that other people don't think it's funny no i like it i think it's
i love the energy that it brings into a room i bet you guys laugh a lot which is really
yeah we do yeah i don't know if other others would laugh no i'm sure it's so stupid but i love how
your humor is so dry and like you're all like bubbly and smiley and you're just like not even
like i love that like i i don't know i wish i could like embody that that like brand of comedy
i'm not that's just not me yeah this doesn't work that's so sweet you tell us a joke
make us laugh that's so funny so it's funny too because i'm in the good
videos because i don't know if you guys know about golf yeah i know what good good is but
can you explain it for people like our listeners that have no idea what good good is let them like
tell them what good sick hat by the way yeah love the good good hat um no good good essentially is
a uh a golf company that i own with a bunch of my buddies and we travel the world and we film
golf youtube videos together uh we've got a you know like a whole business that sells apparel and
we're partnered with callaway and we just try to do anything and everything we can in the golf
space trying to be more of a solidified like golf brand not just some youtube golf brand
yeah um and i think we've done a pretty good job of that in the last six years but i mean
yeah we're a youtube company we're an apparel company we are working on our uh pga tour
championship uh tour event we got coming in november so we partnered with them and we have
our like legit own
golf tournament for fedex points on tour um we're bringing back big break i don't know if you guys
ever heard big break but it's essentially where a bunch of people go and compete and whoever wins
gets the chance to go on like the pga tour and compete in an actual tournament oh no way they
had done that for like i think over 20 years or whatever and then stopped and then they're
redoing it with us that's like we get a chance to like bring that back so we're doing a bunch
of crazy stuff in the in the golf space but i mean the way that i like to tell it is it's just a
that i run with my best friends yeah weren't you that's so cool that you guys are all friends
doing it together too i'm sure it makes things a little difficult at times too oh no they pissed
me off yeah it's so great
on my nerves weren't you guys like the first digital like golf brand to do like partner with
something there's yeah yeah the first the the like when we signed with callaway that was like the
biggest like brand deal that anyone has ever seen like so cool wow biggest brand deal in the golf
world or like in in yeah like like callaway too like all these other guys had never done like
had never done anything like they had never signed with like a bunch of creators and actually given
him a huge lump sum of money and partnered with him like that that had never been done so we were
kind of like the first company to do that it's cool you guys make videos golfing together i think
that's kind of yeah that's kind of rad when i never golfed until him yeah i was gonna say you
had to learn my dad took me golfing when i was little and he gave me his man men's clubs at the
range and i couldn't hit anything and i got so mad and i'm like i'm never touching a golf club in my
life i hate this sport and then i meet this guy he's like yeah i make golf youtube videos and
and then honestly i really
do enjoy it yeah it's fun it's very it's very fun it can make me angry like no other i believe it
you're throwing a club multiple so many water bottles she's thrown everything well matt's like

you exclusions apply when did you and your buddies realize that good could that good good could be a
company or or more than just you and your buddies playing golf on youtube probably our first apparel
drop i mean right when we like decided to drop our apparel because that's like when when we were
like all right is this gonna be like a go or is this thing gonna be a bust yeah you know if we
freaking drop all our apparel and we bought 5 000 polos and we sold 40 of them yay yeah i mean
obviously this isn't for us but we had like a drop and it all sold out in like 30 minutes
and goodness flew off the shelves and people freaking loved it and you know we were getting
really good feedback on our youtube videos as well which i think like seeing that seeing like
the the success that we had in the youtube and just seeing the numbers we were like all right i
can be something but then when you bring like the r&d of actually making clothes and apparel for
people to buy it's like that's just like a completely different level like a lot of people
be like oh you got great youtube followers and great views you're just gonna sell apparel yeah
but that's just not the case it's just completely different thing like when you're actually telling
people to go purchase something compared to just watch our youtube videos for free yeah it's
completely different and we were like man this is either gonna tank the company or we're just gonna
sail and we ended up sailing do you have like an in-house
development team for the apparel yeah we've got a design and apparel team um we work uh hand in
hand with the apparel as well like we're like 60 employees yeah we've got like yeah so we're moving
up in employees we the good guys like we're hands-on with the apparel and stuff we're talking
about what we like what we don't like what we want people to wear and not wear um so we work
closely with the design team um but yeah we try and be as hands-on with as much stuff as we possibly
can obviously there are some jobs that we can't do that's why we allocate it to other people yeah
we are as hands-on as we can be a lot of people forget though too that you they actually tried
you guys you garrett and steve did a company before good good yeah we did and it failed and
so usually if that happens people are like screw we're not doing this again and then so good good
was actually your second attempt no way yeah yeah it was it was a company it was called bro five
um it was myself steven garrett and uh a guy named brody smith who did a bunch of different frisbee
shots he was a huge frisbee guy and then he kind of got into the game of golf and me garrett and
steve were kind of doing gm golf and we were doing funny you know wheeling out ideal videos and
playing with hamburgers and hot dogs and we were we were doing literally anything and everything
that we could to make it as non-golf related as possible so we could bring in an audience to be
like come watch guys just be dudes you know just come watch this you know buddies having fun and
so we were like absolutely crushing that and then brody was like the older one and then
he was the business head he kind of had all the connections and stuff he was like we can make like
a company together and then obviously all three of us had been really really big fans of dude perfect
yeah i'd been following them for a long time and been watching all their videos and freaking love
them and they were like the they were like the group right they were the youtube group and we're
like man what if we just did that like something like that but with like golf and we just tried to
create like a new you know dude perfect but golf thing yeah and then um yeah we started down the
journey and things were going really well and we were filming a bunch of different things and we
were filming a bunch of different videos and then um yeah unfortunately it failed miserably i think
our dynamic me garrett steve was too strong and trying to add in another dude to like throw in
the mix of that and try to create relationships individually with all of us yeah and then also
have that relationship with all three of us together and it was just like it was a horrible
dynamic just like 18 and we were 18 19 years old we had no idea i'm doing that yeah we didn't know
i certainly had no idea like the
the amount of money you can make on youtube and like that it could be an actual job
um and when i started like to see the numbers and then i was like frick we're making a lot of money
doing this and and wow this could be a thing and it obviously freaking fizzled out and was horrible
and died um and then we kind of went on for the rest of our lives kind of doing what we normally
did and then obviously that's when i met him yeah that's when we met we talked we were quarantined
at purcell farms and um filming some more videos and we
brought in more people you know micah and george brian and bryce butler and like we were bringing
all these other people to like help film this like golf videos and i kind of saw the group vibe again
and then that's when me and garrett and steve had to make the decision of like all right do we want
to do this again and then if so apparently there was you know a company that wanted to
you know invest money into us and like here throw you guys some capital and then we can like
we can kind of be the guys behind you and kind of help make a you know
business yeah and then from that pretty much good good was created is that does that stress
you out at all having like money that you had to repay to some some like investor yeah having
investors was unbelievably scary it was like because you know i've watched shark tank i'm not
yeah you know i'm not incompetent i know how it works they take your business from you and then
you end up not owning it and you you get a nice chunk of change but you know i i was always like
if i'm going to create a baby i kind of want to keep it yeah and if i have to get rid of it
i'm like what's the point of five years down the road i create this awesome thing and then i'm just
going to give it away and yeah be left thinking well now what am i going to do so that was the
biggest worry with having investors and investors is just like it's a scary term for 18 year old kid
to hear um and i was just like please don't take over the company and you know i was thinking about
brody and i was like i don't want another situation like that but then you know we met the team in
texas and that's when we um like she was talking about we kind of wanted to move to texas because
they were based in texas and they wanted to keep us there and
like you know we'll build it here this will be our home base um and then you know we just took
the leap um and it was obviously a great conversation and and things moved in the
right direction we got to hear from all the investors individually on like what they could
bring to the table and what they can do and it was a great conversation and i think if we didn't
have that and it was like a phone meeting i don't think it would be a thing um so i think having
that like face to face and what they can bring to the table and what they can do change the
trajectory for all of us to actually want to do it do you guys like living in texas is that a good
good spot
- Great place to live, not great for golf.
Sorry, Texas people, you know.
I out but here's the problem though too I'm used to mountains and like nature stuff I don't know
I never heard what a cicada was until I moved there you know what's the cape do you have cicadas
here yeah we well we don't have them here I grew up with them we'd have like the yeah we're from
Illinois okay cicadas in Missouri every couple years I know they like don't hurt anyone like
carcasses everywhere I I absolutely hate those things so much my friend from here from my from
Texas was like oh it's just summer white noise and I'm like no I don't like it they were piling
up two summers ago at your parents house like crazy yeah yeah and so and they're at least where
we live we live up north of Dallas and so there aren't really any mountains you know maybe on
Ant Hill is the most you get right yeah I like the mountains skiing and boarding yeah so you know
that's that's been the hard change however we have grown such a good community there
that I
think it would be really really hard to leave you know because of the of the people the people
once you have a baby then I know oh yeah well you're gonna want probably like family around
like we weren't even thinking about that when when we got pregnant but oh my gosh it was so
nice yeah to have family that moved out to Arizona um just to like get to do life with us and our
kids it makes a huge difference so my sister they live like 15 minutes away from us oh see so that's
been amazing and they have they have a daughter that's great they have a
one and a half year old daughter and then we have like our church life group um I don't know if that's
a common term yeah yeah okay yeah we have our life group and two of them are just had little
that's what I'm saying once you have babies somewhere it's hard to leave yeah so I'm like
we're all in the same stage of life here it's so nice yeah um and I know the hard thing is it's so
hard being away from from my mom but she comes down as often as she can you know and again we'll
see what happens when the baby's here I don't it's like we'll see what happens our friends they're
here for residency and they were always intending on going back but now we've like raised our kids
together for so long she's like I don't know if we can go back at this point I know oh it's so sweet
I want to talk about the baby because that's like my favorite thing to talk about yeah was this like
a plan like we're like we're ready like starting kids or was just like yeah because we love unplanned
moments honestly like I mean we've had one ourselves yeah we did that was baby number two for
us it was a surprise I love that um we well so okay so TMI but we've been doing pull and pray for
like the last three or four years okay gotta be careful with that one well and so we were just we
were doing it and it nothing ever happened and it started to kind of get in my mind I'm like
is something actually like are we just really good at pulling and praying or it's such a weird
thing to say I'm sorry I love it it sure is
I'm like are we just really good at that or or is he just really good at that you're talented
you're a talented man clearly no let's actually keep talking about it so it's actually so I'm
taking the next 30 minutes we just kind of we just dive into this oh my gosh um but I and so but I
have really painful periods like that was that's been something I've been really working through
um a lot of my adult life I have a lot of painful periods I have a lot of painful periods I have a
actually remember i was in jewelry class in high school you had a jewelry class yeah no what the
frick she said i'm like i'm like you didn't learn mandarin chinese he's like what we had had a
that's what we had yeah we're in kansas there was like one language literally it was called
tonganoxie kansas and it was literally just a freaking i mean just by the name you're like
yeah you guys picked corn or something didn't you you freaking ate beans
freaking chimney yeah yeah did you say chimney abby says chimney is that a kansas thing to say
i've never met another person in my life who has said we wrap here thanks guys for watching
i'm like and matt goes where did you get that i was like you never you don't say that
and so sometimes i'll just say chimney
yeah you're
you're kind of the only well i guess you're the only two people i know that do that yeah i have
not met another jiminy so that's great to meet a fellow great to meet a fellow sister in christ
right sister and jimmy sister and jimmy that's crazy was it your like mom or dad or like like
uncle that you can never know where you acquired it from how yeah how did you do you know where
you acquired it because abby has no idea it's a gene you have it's a good jimmy jimmy i'm like
like jimmy cricket you can say jimmy neutron like you can do the neutron
is one he's been saying a lot and i'm like you know he's a lot yeah this is one of those things
i'm just gonna laugh about for way too long yeah that's good that's good
anyway uh what are we talking about oh um
we were talking about uh pull and pray painful periods
i would have like these episodes where like when my period would start and i would have like these episodes where like when my period would start and
in school and it was it wasn't like oh i'm feeling cramps i just need to like sit down it's like
the like everything i'm doing stop doing it i like fall to the ground like i i remember i left i was
in jewelry class and i just left because i just i'm not gonna ask a teacher i i could i could barely
even speak i just literally walked out of the room i had my phone and i texted my friends later once
i could finally get to the bathroom to bring like my medicine and my stuff but that that's you know
and so i was used to all of that and then
i got on birth control to try to you know get rid of my periods but then i did a lot of research
into that and i wanted to do it a little more naturally or i wanted to heal i didn't want to
band-aid i wanted to really heal what was going on and so i've been in this like healing journey
for forever and you know i changed my diet i changed this and i'm sure those things helped
but the reality is i still you know i just had really painful periods to the point where i mean
right before um we started trying which is again such a funny thing to say like we're trying to
get pregnant we know what that means we know what you're doing um
before we started
before we did that um i mean i think like the month before i might again my period started and
i know what happens when i start feeling the cramps i just pop in my medicine because i just
know what to do um but i think i just took a little too long this time because i you know
so i take a shower and i just took a little too long and i was pretty much like on the floor in
the bathroom for like a good hour or something before the medicine finally kicked in and it was
like like so much pain i'm like shaking oh you know like i'm gonna
grow up but it's coming out this end and that end it's like a weird like i'm just in so much pain
um and so being pregnant and not having a period has been wonderful however i had a consultation
um to get an endometriosis surgery and i scheduled it five days before i found out i was pregnant okay
non-refundable deposit so i don't get any of that you're kidding why would they do that 500 bucks
don't get it i don't get it back however i'm pregnant and i'm so blessed and so happy with
that but um like i i felt so i was so scared that i wasn't going to be able to because of all the
noise around that and um all the pain with that i'm like okay we really haven't been that careful
though you know the last couple years and i haven't gotten pregnant and we've been trying
for a couple months and it hasn't really been working um clearly there's something wrong because
this isn't this pain isn't normal um but it all you know god had a better plan and greater plan
you could have imagined and here we are that's so exciting
so yeah and we'll see what happens when i get it again i don't know what's gonna happen
we'll get there maybe it'll be better honestly people say that people have said that it has
helped like he helped heal them and so i'm really hoping that yeah that that is something the
pregnancy so the pregnancy has felt like a relief in some ways in that way for sure i mean it's it's
harder in other ways but i always say i i was someone asked me they're like what would you
rather have and i'm like well right now i'm creating a life i'm like yeah i'm aware that
i'm gonna feel a little not exactly but i'm like yeah i'm gonna feel a little not exactly but i'm
there's a purpose behind it i'm aware i'm gonna feel tired or nauseous or
hangry like all the time are you so hungry right now i was really hungry in the first trimester
really you know most people my sister was too she said she like lost weight in the first
trimester because she could barely eat well i then okay for everyone listening right now

four weeks ago and then push it to august 5th okay so i don't i'm like end of july beginning

when do you think it's going to hit you
um i don't know i i i think like that part of life i guess for men i feel like that doesn't
happen until like those moments where you are actually a dad like i feel like for the mother
it's just way different like you guys start right away especially if you're breastfeeding
like that part of life just starts like you're a mother like this baby can do literally nothing
without you dad if i'm not here the baby still survives not in a bad don't obviously don't
leave your baby but i'm saying like if i'm not here well i'm not here i'm not here i'm not here
if if if i am not here mom can mom takes care of baby the baby survives so it's like for me i think
that that part's going to come in you know later when you know kind of like when where a niece's
age is at maybe a little before then she's maybe crawling around or you know she's a little bit
more cognitive and whatever i think that's maybe where it'll start well you told me you were like
you were like there's not much i can do in those early you know yeah my job especially if i'm
breastfeeding there's not there's not yeah like my job is like he was like you're you're like you're
i have to take care of you so you can take care of baby obviously it's not saying that you're not
helping right baby but like i mean i can't i'm barely gonna be able to help i you know myself
yeah you know he's gonna so i think i think i think for me it's like when i have when when
baby's born like i gotta focus on being a husband first yeah like as much as i'm gonna want to like
take over and take control like my job is to be a husband first and if i make sure that she's okay
and she's obviously not going to be at a hundred percent for a very long time but like if if i
can take the steps to you know make sure the house is clean there's the least like we talked
about like a couple weeks ago like the least amount of stress that i can give her like those
are the things that that i need to focus on i need to put my ego aside of like i need this baby and i
gotta do this and this this this and like what can i do to help you so that this baby can actually
survive and that you can survive you know so like those are the things that i'm mainly going to be
focusing on um and then you know once we kind of get a little bit more comfortable sleep schedules
and things you know slowly start getting on track then it's like you know now i can kind of maybe
you know focus on some of those things um but yeah there's so much unknown did you kind of feel like
you were gonna have a girl i feel like i was always destined to be a girl dad for sure i kind
of feel like just talking to you i'm like i can totally see you having he always gave me girl dad
vibes yeah but from like symptoms that people were telling me it seemed like we were gonna have a boy
you seem like a boy mom though too and that's that's what i'm saying yeah but i also come from a family
of only girls oh and so like i'm very used to just girls really and that also feels very comfortable
and safe okay i also think there's definitely um healing i think that he's gonna have and that i'm
gonna have being a parent of a girl you know and i think that's gonna be a very beautiful do you
have a sister uh yes i have two older sisters um i mean if you don't know anything about my story
uh i'm adopted from russia so they both still live in russia so i haven't been able to see them
for you know 20 years or whatever oh wow but i do have two older sisters uh victoria has two kids
and irene irena doesn't have any do you are you able to stay in touch with them i mean yeah kind
of i mean we skyped we skyped a long time ago back in kansas um but you know we had to skype
the translator so like it was just very difficult like the communication between us and the
translator to try to get them on the same page it was just it was really difficult um
but yeah you know we they have instagrams so like we talk on instagram and stuff google translate
so i haven't really grown up with a sister dynamic by any means yeah um but i did i do
have an older brother as well so i you know i did have a sibling so i i know the sibling dynamic
that was adopted with him yeah oh no so you and your brother were adopted from russia and like
yeah did you know that all the time growing up or was there like a day that your parents were like
oh by the way we adopted you uh there was definitely a time they told us because we didn't speak any
and he was like five yeah i was like five so i was young and it took me a while to kind of i think
get all that i think i started to like learn like i was obviously different from all the other kids
because i don't understand what anybody was saying yeah i was translator i was kind of like
what the heck um so i think i slowly started like figure it out in school um and then i'm pretty
sure my parents told i don't like remember the day that they told me like hey you guys are adopted
from russia and we're your parents now and they probably told this whole story of what happened
to your parents and you have sisters and we try to get them and like they went through all that i
definitely remember like them talking about that wow and then i you know always ask questions you
know every now and then questions would come up and um they'd do their best to answer them but
yeah pretty crazy story he's a pretty crazy story that's a crazy story i tell him i'm like i'm like
the documentary of just like his like early childhood it would be really good just from
what your sisters and your your little sibling group two sisters and two brothers had to go
through you know before you were put in the orphanage and then before you were adopted i
mean it's just you have such a crazy yeah what what did yeah what did you and your siblings
have to go through before you were put in an orphanage i mean you know a lot i mean victoria
was um like 11 years old i think irina was nine and david was six and i was you know four
and you know once my mom died it was like she was now the mom and the dad and there was
nobody to like come in and check on them and like see how they're doing yeah so she had to like
figure all of it out she had to figure out how are we gonna get our next meal
at 11 years old well before that it was um because he has a different dad than his three
yes i should probably say that yeah so david's and my sisters are my half technically half
um and i had another dad um and apparently like victoria maddie just made me this really cool
book for my birthday it's like my my early life years and stuff so i was i was able to read that
um and i've seen some of those pictures in there some of them i haven't seen
um but like he would come in and like he would have me on his shoulders and it looked like he
was like kind of a good dad or whatever um but you know both of them struggled with alcoholism
pretty bad um and i think there was one moment when my dad was like i'm gonna take matt and then
they were like no like you're not gonna do that um so then he just kind of left and then she was
just left to kind of fend for herself with all of us she would be gone for so i reached out to his
a couple months ago and said hey there's so many gaps between his understanding of his childhood
just because we've heard things over the years but at the end of the day we don't really know
you know much and so i reached out to her and i said could you help clarify any of these things
could you help give some kind of story some kind of understanding of what that looked like before
they were adopted and she she was a little hesitant and again this is all from english to
russian russian english so it's kind of like you read it and it's like it's kind of interesting in
the way certain things are written and it's kind of like it's kind of interesting in the way certain
things are recorded but um she was a little hesitant at first because she was just like it's
a truly it's it's such a sad awful story and i don't and she said she's like i don't want him to
know this because i don't i i just want him to be happy and i um but then she got to the point where
she said but if this is what he wants i'll share it and so um she told she told the story with
things that you didn't even know obviously things that i didn't know and um when the the his siblings
his mom fell into like alcoholism and she'd be gone for like two to three days at a time
and um so that's when the his older sister would take care of him and watch him and they said they
would go to the catholic church down the street because they would go to the service and they
were fed at the end and that's how they got their food um and they all slept in the same bed for
warmth she said i mean just go russia freezing freezing cold it's like jumping back to like the
19 you know 50s 50 i mean it's like sewage and his
parents were saying like sewage on the streets you know yeah we've chatted with lds missionaries
that did a mission in russia and they said people would just like die freezing to death
yeah they just leave them on the street that's how cold it is she she came home drunk she fell
hit her head she had a cerebral aneurysm and then froze to death yeah she froze in the street yeah
yeah that's horrible and then his sister they had him for a little while until the authorities did
anything about it and then um so it was just them four just the just the kids
and then they were put in the
orphanages but they were separated because they had the girls and the boys yeah that was tough
and she was saying she was like she was like it was the hardest day of my life because we were
always together and we didn't have parents we didn't have you know anyone who cared about us
you know besides ourselves and um and she's like and she even said she's like she's like matt and
his name is vadim was like my kid it was like my child because i took care of him and um and then
when the authorities came and picked him up the girls were taken one way and the boys were taken
another way but matt was four so he was technically still supposed to go to the baby's house so then
they separated them two and i mean just imagine like all the all the screaming crying tears of
like little children who don't understand what's going on just being ripped apart from all they
know that's that's what happened um and then and then you know these two two people mike and deb and
um and where were they living at the time um starts with an m was it missouri no no it was
minnesota they were living in south dakota i think they found it they found an ad in a newspaper it
was an ad in the newspaper flyer on like a telephone pole for you and your brother adopt
just adopting kids from adopting kids from russia so they're like let's just go because they had
fertility issues like a sem it was like a seminar so it was like come listen to our seminar about
kids being adopted and stuff and mike was like hesitant because he was like if i freaking go to
the seminar bro i'm about to be crying i'm about to get a kid yeah at least exactly at least one so
he wasn't even mentally prepared for that and deb's like just shut up let's just go listen
nothing can happen and here i am unfortunately they change your life mike's a softie yeah but
how they do it is they actually fly all the kids down on a plane so they flew all of the all the
kids down there was probably what 20 of you yeah like 20 kids yeah they flew all of them down on a
plane and they actually come to live with the american parents for a month
and then these kids don't speak any english so they're like they're going from like living in like
hell to being brought to like this wonderful life where they have food and they're not freezing to
mcdonald's ketchup dude they're like apparently mac and cheese like their favorite thing was that
like do you remember i would eat it out of the cup wait hold up do you remember flying on a plane
from russia to the flying part vaguely because i'm sure i just slept the entire time but like
literally when i landed i remember going to mcdonald's seeing a french fry eating the like
little things that you like
you push a little black thing you know and the ketchup comes out of the thing i would literally
just sit there and eat the things out of the cup the sauces yeah the ketchup i would just eat the
ketchup out of the thing like this is amazing that's what our kids do that's what my three-year-old
will do he'll just eat the ketchup and i'm like great i'm like griffin buddy like put a fry in
there like wake up what are you doing but then they literally come off this plane and you have
them for a month and then they say okay now they're going back to russia so these kids
are emotional and they pretty much are like having to be kind of like kind of dragged like
put back on this plane like that i know it's the most like them away no wonder everyone
has like these trauma issues that they have to work through when they're adults anyway
they take them back they take them back and then the american parents have to go to russia
to claim them and talk to the judges buy off do all that stuff and actually just a couple
years after he was adopted they uh putin ended um all adoptions yeah so it was closed off
you couldn't adopt any kids from russia anymore that's the thing now so you can't even adopt
from russia at all so they were able to get you and your brother back together
and oh my gosh that's crazy and your sisters were still in the orphanage yeah they tried
they tried to uh work a deal where they could get all four of us but they just weren't having it
yeah yeah they had to stay in their in their foster home so they chose you and your brother
because you were the youngest um i think so yeah or i'm i'm sure like a part of me wants to think
like victoria and irena were like take them oh yeah like i i would like to think that that's
that's kind of like what they would say to them like take them in you if you can get us great but
like 100 take them um and i know my parents probably you know fought tooth and nail to try
to get them because i and i sometimes wonder like how different that dynamic would have been if i had
my sisters with me it probably would have been so much different both me and david would have been
so much different in the way we acted i'm sure um and then having a sister you know sibling dynamic
it just it all would have been crazy but um yeah that just unfortunately didn't happen so you met
them in that month that you got to your parents that you got to come to the u.s so then was it
hard then to leave oh my gosh i was freaking scratching and biting and crying and like
because because in my my reality was i'm going back to russia to go back to where i was yeah
so these guys didn't like me like i didn't it's so sad i didn't yeah like i i'm sure i was thinking
like i didn't do something right or i didn't cry enough or i wasn't you know cute enough or you
know all the freaking crazy sad stuff that you could think and so then i'm thinking
well now i'm going back and so they brought you to this seminar is that what this no they they were
like i thought or or they took me from like the orphanage uh to here i stayed with a month and
then they were taking me back oh you went right to their house no back to the back to russia back
to the orphanage well when you landed in the u.s sorry oh when they got me yeah you spent the whole
month at their house yeah yeah yeah i spent the whole month at their house um like you know test
them out for a month christmas that was it was christmas right um no
no what were those pictures those that's when they finally that's when they finally got me okay
but there's a there's a language barrier they the kids don't they don't get it i i they we had a
translator like legit with us so like they how like i couldn't even communicate with them like
i was they were just taking me to go do fun stuff yeah that was it also you came right out of the
hospital you can't sorry you came right out of the plane and they had to go they had to take
him straight to the hospital yeah because right before he went on the plane to russia he put his
eye in a b-hole and so his face was all swollen
so he comes off the plane and they're like we got to go to the hospital so his first thing was the
hospital where they where they went that must have been a miserable flight shout out david yeah
yeah that was i'm sure that was horrible yeah i mean what a crazy experience is all this like
so traumatic you just kind of like forgot about it like your brain was just like i don't want to
remember that anymore um i'm sure my brain kind of does that naturally maybe i don't know but i
know i don't really remember like
you know all that kind of crazy stuff i don't think so like your first memories then are just
like growing up in the united states then for the most part well i mean i have the memories of like
looking in the beat like david telling me to look in the b-hole and getting stung by the bees and
then like you know going on the plane i remember i was playing in the orphanage with with um one of
my best friends apparently in the orphanage her name was denise um i don't know if this is with
her or someone else but like i was playing with this blue truck that i loved a lot and i just
remember some kid like taking the blue truck and like breaking it and then like leaving and then i
remember that and i was crying or whatever so like i remember that memory so there's like bits and
pieces of stuff that i remember um but i don't think there's enough to like piece together to
remember all the crazy trauma but from what i've learned from like from like what psychologists and
therapists and like people have really found out is that you know those early years even if you
don't remember it it's still like in your cognitive your body and your and so what's
interesting is him and his brother they're actually they're they're alike in a lot of
ways but they're different in a lot of ways and it's because his brother
went to the big kid orphanage and matt went to the baby orphanage and the big kid orphanage you
kind of had to fight for what you want and in the baby orphanage the cuter you are the more the love
and attention you get oh my god so and that but the thing is they don't remember much of that
but it plays into who they are now yeah and you can see that and how and how his brother is and
then how he is and so um it stays within you you know it's it's even though it was so early on i
from your sisters and ripped away from everything you knew has has to still you know it's in you
somewhere you know even if the memory isn't exactly there yeah that's so that's a crazy
story it's so cool too that you like went back and like started to piece some of that together
like it's such a cool book well because especially now that like we're having this right i'm like i
i want them to know his story and we don't have any photos of him from before he was like five
four or five and so um and so we when we were talking like i wonder what she's gonna look like
i wonder you know all these things i wonder how she's gonna act and i'm like well who knows who
knew him during this time so that's when i reached out to his sister and found out all of these
things and i was so emotional and i was wasn't telling him because i wanted to save for his
birthday but i i was learning all these things and i was originally going to save that story for
his birthday but i was like i don't i don't think this is something you should this is like i gotta
share this with him before
this is like heavy on my heart because it's just so heartbreaking and real um and just hard and so
i i told him and we talked about it and um she sent over all the all the things she had and we
were kind of talking back and forth and one day you're gonna meet him yeah one day i will for
sure they won't come here which it'll be a neutral location like we'll have to go to a
so yeah like that you guys have to meet like in paris or something yeah we'll have to meet like
uk paris like some neutral location yeah yeah interesting because there's no direct flights
from yeah us to russia yeah no i think you fly into the uk and then you fly into like minsk or
moscow or something i'm sure yeah how do you how do you feel about the like the ban on adoptions
where you can't like adopt from russia anymore i mean from my perspective yeah freaking sucks
because i'm sure there's two other people who are going to be able to adopt from russia
two other cute little boys or two you know girls or whatever that would just absolutely like their
lives of 100 i can almost confirm 100 would be different yeah you know maybe not as black
Weston is, you know, where I'm at,
but I know their life would 100% be different
than what they would have received if they stayed in Russia.
Well, if you were still in Russia, you'd probably be, you'd be in the war.
I would have fought in the war, or I would have just died on the street.
Like, it's, I mean, who's to say?
You'd go to the military at 16, you know?
They put you in the military at 16?
Well, he's a boy, and he doesn't have any parents.
That's probably, I mean, I would have probably went there by choice, for sure.
Because then military, I'm thinking, oh, they'll at least feed me.
Or, you know, I'll get to be inside for, I don't know.
That's what's so sad about all these global conflicts,
is, like, the people that end up dying are always the people that are just,
that have nothing.
Like, it's just poor people.
It's people that get sucked into it.
Yeah, they're just pawns in it, right?
The people making the decisions at the top aren't actually
having to, like, go and give their life.
Right, exactly.
Man.
So, the decision to start your own family was, like. It's a big one.
Yeah, it's a pretty big one.
Yeah.
And we're still thinking about, you know, adopting as well.
Yeah, I was going to ask.
That adoption process.
Obviously, we would have. We would have loved to adopt from Russia,
but, yeah, adoption is definitely. It's definitely on the table,
and we'll kind of have to navigate how all that looks,
because, obviously, it's so much different,
but we definitely want to do it.
Which is interesting, because I've actually. When I've told people that, I've had people say to me, like,
you know, I want to think twice before adopting.
And I'm like. Because, you know, people have really hard stories, and, you know. Which is fair.
Yeah, sometimes it is.
It's 100% fair.
Yeah.
But in my experience, from what I've seen, I'm like. Like, I can't imagine. I can't imagine him not being here.
Like, if I had the opportunity to bring anyone even close to him,
to this, to here, to have a better life. I'm a pretty rare case.
I feel like I got. Well, I'm just saying, it. You know, the less older you are, like, the younger you are. It's true.
You're going to remember less naturally.
So, like, if you adopt a two-year-old or a four-year-old,
it's going to be different if you adopt an eight-year-old.
It's going to be different if you adopt an eight-year-old.
Or an 11-year-old.
Like, they're going to remember so much more,
and that trauma is going to be so much harder to deal with as a parent.
And when they're freaking yelling at you that you're not their mom
and you're not their dad, like, it's just going to be so much harder.
And I had those moments.
I know what that feels like.
Yeah, and I had those moments because I did it.
Like, you know, you're not my mom.
You don't know anything.
So, it's like, I did those moments to my parents.
And David did those moments.
So, like, I couldn't even imagine doing it with someone who's freaking 10 or 11 years old
who remembers even more.
It's hard.
So, like, that stuff's just. It would definitely be a challenge.
It's not an easy. Like, I'm a very rare case.
You know, I'd like to think that I'm. I've been a pretty good son to them.
I didn't really. You know, I was. You know, I had my horrible moments, sure.
But I'd like to think that I was pretty good.
But that comes from me not remembering as much.
Yeah.
You know?
And to think, like, I threatened to run away from home when I was a kid
and put, like, saltine crackers in a backpack.
Oh, yeah.
I had a little suitcase.
I did that kind of crap, too.
Yeah, 100%.
But, like, to imagine, like, going through that with the adoption situation
must make the tension so much bigger.
Because, like, as a kid, you're going to be. Stuff hits way harder.
Yeah, because as a kid, you're like,
yeah, they're not my parents.
I'm making the right. And, like, as the parents, you're like,
ah, like, this is so hard.
I don't know what to do.
Like, so, that's tough.
So, your parents are probably incredible people.
And you seem like a really good person, too.
So, I'm just happy that, like, everything worked out.
It all worked out, right?
And it's also, like, you guys. You guys are living the American dream, by the way.
Like, it's cool how, like, you're from Russia.
You came here.
Now you're, like, a. Successful YouTuber.
Like, have a golf channel

Did you know that our kids

Okay, well, let's get in some questions
from our audience because
they have been, you know,
so curious about some different things.
So the first question we have is from
AshK15.
She said,
Will Matt be taking a break from Good Good
with the arrival of the new baby?
Um, man, break is an arbitrary term.
Like, what does that exactly mean?
Um, I will definitely be taking some time off
if that's kind of where we're going with that,
for sure.
Um, I'm going to take my month's sabbatical
and be with Maddie.
Is that what it's called?
Yeah, month's sabbatical, taking a break,
not doing anything Good Good.
You know, if I need to, like,
hop on a phone call or something,
like, I can do a meeting or whatever.
Very good.
It's paternity leave.
Paternity leave?
Sabbatical.
Girl, like, when you take a sabbatical,
like, you're taking a. Is it?
Is it?
It's called paternity leave.
I know it's called PTO.
No, no.
Not PTO.
Oh, my gosh.
That's paid time off.
No, I thought it was PTO.
No, I thought sabbatical is when your brain,
you, like, mentally. Is that a mentally. I think it's when you mentally need a break,
and they're like,
you're going on sabbatical.
Am I making that up?
We've all never worked a job.
That's like 10 years. Yeah, I know.
We're all YouTubers and TikTokers.
Yeah.
I mean, I will be mentally checking out,
I guess,
because I'm going to be putting
all of my mental focus on this,
so I guess I'm doing both.
Perfect.
Anyway, big words.
Oh, that's funny.
So, yes, I will be taking
a minimum a month break,
and then, like, our next big trip is. We're trying to plan for Japan,
for Japan in September.
So, like, I'm going to. Go to Japan.
I'm going to try to plan to do that, but. That's exciting.
Wait, what's bringing you to Japan?
I mean, we've been wanting to go over there.
It's such a huge golf country, you know?
Really?
And we would love to. We would obviously love to go
do, like, a cool Japan road trip.
I think that'd be sick.
Wait, are you going to Japan?
No.
I was going to say,
that's so brave of you.
Absolutely not.
But, yes, I will be taking a break.
I'll be about six weeks postpartum
at that point.
Yes.
If I give birth again,
beginning of August, end of. So, I think six months.
Oh, my gosh.
Six weeks.
I'll be six weeks postpartum.
And I think that's a good. Yeah.
A good. I'll be taking a break,
but I will not be leaving.
I think a lot of people will be like,
oh, Matt's not been. Matt hasn't been in content for two months.
Is he quitting?
Is he quitting?
No.
No.
He's just dad-lifing it.
Yeah, I'll still be updating the Instagram
and freaking still posting
and still telling people that stuff.
He has to.
Here's the thing.
It's like. I know it's going to be hard,
especially, like, leaving me
and, like, the baby.
But, like, you do have. find so much purpose.
And you're so cute.
You do find so much purpose in working.
You love your job.
Yes, I do.
And, like, that's such a gift
to, like, love what you do.
And so, like, I can't imagine. It's becoming scarce nowadays.
Like, I can't imagine as a wife being like,
oh, you can't work anymore.
You can't do good good anymore.
Like, it's been such a blessing in our lives.
And you love it.
Yeah, I freaking love it.
It's so much fun.
Aw, that's sweet.
But, yeah, I'll take a break
and then I'm getting right back into it,
for sure.
Yeah.
People are asking. This is from Alexis Hope579.
What's the baby's name?
That was a bit. That was a bit of an aggressive question, Alexis.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Because, like. Period.
Well, we're still kind of figuring that out.
We're 100% sure on the last name.
Okay.
It is Sharf.
So there's your answer.
There you go.
Yeah.
So you can count on the last name being Sharf.
And we're still figuring out, you know. Are there any baby names that you liked
that you won't be using?
Because that's, like. That's like a trap, you know?
Aluminium. Aluminium. Toaster Strudel.
I can't even get in all their names.
Toaster Strudel was kind of a big one for me.
But that's a great name, though, dude.
It's a great name.
I love eating Toaster Strudel.
First name Toaster, middle name Strudel.
Yeah, I thought that was going to be kind of cool.
We liked. We actually had some boy names.
Holy frick.
Actually, it was funny.
We had more boy names than we did girl names.
For some reason, girl names are just harder for me.
They are harder.
Boy names kind of came quick and easy.
Yeah, I'm like, I love this and this and this and this.
Like, we liked so. We had so many boy names that we were loving.
And then for the girl, we're like, we just don't know.
I'm sorry, Alexis.
sharp is all you get yeah we liked we liked anastasia yeah we did love because it was like
a russian kind of name yeah but we wanted to call her anastasia because but then it's like
so confusing so people won't say that people just say anastasia because
and so we're like probably not especially living in texas my good
what was another name we liked that we didn't that we had that we put off we put off that
we're not doing uh was there another a name we had a lot of j names oh yeah like uh uh like jemma
or was that jemma i was like matt i really like jolene he goes no i said okay okay jolene there's
a whole song about her song about her that's a great texas name people could pronounce that one
in texas well and for a guy matt there was a good little moment there where matt really wanted to
name our son jedediah because jedi i could name my son jedi oh yeah you're a big star
you're in the legos you love like the lego stuff yeah i was just gonna name him lego but i couldn't
do that either i don't get what i want i guess all these questions are for matt because this
is from madeline june 7 share your favorite dad joke because apparently you just have dad jokes
in the freaking can um oh wait did you hear about that circus fire last week it was intense it was
crazy that was good the circus is coming here oh my gosh no wait we're having a circus come to
arizona well i'm not having that i also probably think it's unethical i'm not having that why is
why is good good not in arizona i feel like arizona is like the gulf state of america like
don't we have more golf courses no facts why to yeah 100 i don't know we're with you like or like
augusta isn't like like georgia probably the taxes georgia the taxes are unbelievably good
for businesses in texas that is great yeah that is good but we're here but they're here a lot
i mean they do you guys do like even if we were here's the thing even if we were in phoenix here
we would be traveling everywhere so like we probably would have done everything we still did
that makes sense yeah it was more of like our investors and everybody was already stationed
there and the people we were working with were there got it and like they already had like plots
of land that we could build our warehouse or build our like little good good studio yeah like they
already had that and they're like we're just gonna do it here and you travel like every week right
like pretty much yeah so we weren't even gonna okay so that makes sense yeah there we go okay
um what sid sid
at least said why did you return to tiktok maddie why did i why did you or why didn't you i don't
know if this is a did they have a typo have you been have you been off tiktok you've been like
taking a break right why didn't you return oh you've been gone i well again i used to post two
videos a day i mean i was cooking you know 16 17 18 19 20 year old me was cooking yeah i was doing
all that i just i've i think we're just at that point where i think i kind of just post when i want
to post i think i kind of just post when i want to post
what i want to post not because i have to and there was a time where it was a survival thing
i posted because i had to yeah and um and he does so much social media for the both of us now like
i mean good good really has exploded in these last six years where um i i'm not necessarily
in survival mode like i was when i was like 16 um which you know might sound funny it's like
you're only 16 years old but with what was going on in my life it was definitely a
i was in survival mode so um i think i've been able to like relax now and i'm enjoying um
feeling at peace nice i'm not feeling stressed you're gonna be like a stay-at-home mom kind of
thing like is that gonna be and oh well we do do stuff like i help manage most of his
like personal stuff because i love i love sending a good email i love i love you know
and
um
, and i um so i still do like stuff on that side i still do like my own content things you know just
kind of when i want to not necessarily because i have to um i don't know what that's going to look
like when i'm a mom though i don't know how much of that is going to change um i don't know i think
we're entering this phase of a lot of like unknowns like i just i don't know what it's going to be
like i've heard stories i've heard some people give me great things some people say like really
scary things and so it's like i well i had this girl
say to me i'm my baby people will say crazy she said she said just so you know you're gonna
absolutely hate your life oh she goes she goes all moms you're gonna hate your life i'm like in like
cute little pink dress and i was like and like everyone has their own story and everyone has
their own experience and i'm not trying to you know say that i just also i'm gonna i i don't
necessarily need that energy yeah you're like okay i'm gonna absolutely hate my life like
i i want to you know try to you know at least tell myself i believe in the power of how we speak to
ourselves and yeah um what we put out there i'm going to try to do as much positive as i can
um than negative like we can still be realistic as like woman to woman mom to mom but then also
like speak highly of motherhood like right right like we can there are so many joys still gotta
follow it up with something yeah but it wasn't so you're like wow it was followed up horribly it was
it was it was just it was just it was a while like it was a wild little darn yeah i was feeling
pretty excited about it i know i know but that's the thing like there's going to be so many unknowns
i don't know what it's like to have a newborn baby i don't know what it's like to be we've been
together six years i don't know what it's like for us to be married and live our lives together
with a baby yeah like this is a whole new chapter of our lives but i'm trying to really
um enjoy the last couple of months where we close off this chapter of just him and i and then
as we start our new book like i am you know i'm excited i'm excited for it then i am you know more
nervous or anxious and it's gonna be really quick to get anxious so i'm trying to be in like you
know a state of like chill no that's a great way of looking at it that's a great yeah hold up i
just remembered a question that i wanted to ask that i totally forgot to ask is it true you guys
you guys did like a kids free wedding right like no kids whose idea whose idea was no kids at the
wedding kind of mix listen we have kids are great but i mean you had a small wedding huh
yeah we had a small wedding and we did it in like one of our good friends backyards well first of
all call that a backyard i'm like we walked in and i'm like this is a backyard oh it was it was
beautiful but technically it was a backyard and um my mom's boyfriend he set up this whole like
lit up tent but if someone if a child were to go and like pull on it and like kick it it could like
caught it could like they had a pool and everything they had a pool concrete with
sharp edges i'm just like man last thing i need is that it was less than like 70 people
like it was a very small wedding and so um plus like my my i didn't have any friends with like
babies either yeah so it's like there wasn't there's i didn't have any kids in my life
obviously if like like nowadays like three years and now i have like tons of babies in my life
right if we got if we got married right now it would have been like there are so many flower
flower children children but i that just wasn't the case three years ago right and so um yeah
but yeah we did have a kids free kids free wedding and you know what i had a lot of parents
actually say they really enjoyed it oh nice they were like kids at home yeah they were like we
actually really enjoyed this because we could just chill and like have have a date night to ourselves
yeah and i was like you're welcome let's go let's go okay so instead of having flower girls did you
have beer boys and beer beer boys no we literally i had uh well let's see we had i had garrett i had
garrett and steve yeah it is yeah it is i've never heard of it sunglasses on there's a bunch of boys
yeah i've seen that it was a disco themed wedding that we went to remember that yeah i've seen that
that's fun yeah everyone's wearing like like all bedazzled up with like rhinestones and stuff well
so here's seriously i wore the wrong thing funeral dress too i did not my whole family is lds
so no one drinks yeah there's no alcohol there's no alcohol we didn't we didn't do any alcohol one
because we we also don't drink we also don't drink because of other whole other reasons
but it was crazy to think well i think it's true i mean i'm pretty sure alcohol is like good for you
right like it's like yeah it actually really is good for you i actually yeah i heard it's like
helps you you know in every way it doesn't it doesn't cause cancer which is like no not at all
i stopped because of my own hormonal issues and then he stopped because of his own
um yeah back problems and gotcha all of all of the everything comes with that so but then it's
like okay we could buy liquor but like actually a lot of the guys don't even drink like a lot
of them are like you know recover recovering you know from their own things oh really they're like
they were like alcoholics and they're like alcohol free now yeah i think well bobby has yeah bobby has
a crazy story brad also has a crazy story yeah so um so really only the only people who would
really drink would be like less than like six probably people yeah and i was about to pay for
that and i'm like i'm not i'm like yeah so i i told him i told her i told steve i said b-y-o-b
bring your own because but no one did because it's like i don't know um but yeah no one in my family drinks
so we just didn't even have to do that um so we didn't so we did not have beer boys but that's a
good idea right that i will give to the next person what could it be you can do ollie boys
thank you to ollie pop for sponsoring our podcast wait why is it that like um oh in like in the in
like the lds world because nobody drinks at all like what would be a good like beer boy like
substitute would it be like uh oh it could be like a swig boy and they're like doctoring up your soda
like if you had a swig at a wedding oh my gosh well actually a truck okay that would pop can i
say something that's actually very common i've been to many utah weddings where they have soda
bars no way soda bars is a it is a very normal thing so fuck yes wait oh my gosh have you tried
coffee now i have i do drink coffee you drink you drink coffee often or you're like and you don't
i actually really enjoy coffee and tea okay i love chai tea lattes i love because you um they say
they don't any caffeine well that's not true i guess technically because they have like the word
of wisdom just like outlaws coffee itself so that way coffee that way like red bull monster are cool
not herbal teas that's right herbal tea is cool right black tea not cool not cool chai tea not
cool green tea not cool see we when we lived in hawaii oh i didn't know that there's a lot of
mormons in hawaii there are so so all of our friends that's why we have so many more we have
so many mormon friends because we were right by the school we moved five minutes from the uh the
laie temple yeah on oahu so like we like half our friends are mormon now so it's like yeah i know
this stuff but i still love talking about it i think it's fun oh yeah no i love a good swig most
people in my life are actually lds you know like all my good friends they're lds so it's still very
much a you know common topic a normal thing in my life we just are are not that and i have to switch
between like mormon and lds because like people that like everybody knows what mormon is but then
like the respectful term is lds because like that's what which just recently changed that's
like that was like five years ago right like that's yeah yeah yeah the prophet came out and
said we don't want to be known as mormons anymore we want to be known as lds or the latter-day saints
totally yeah so i i have to catch myself there too because well growing up i would i just have
referred myself as mormon because i thought that was that was a good thing yeah i didn't see it as
a bad thing um and then you know in the last couple years i'll talk with my friends they're
like well as a latter-day saint and and so i've been like okay as respect to be respectful i need
to stop saying this mormon thing i feel like they'll start saying this the musical probably
i think it was the music i didn't know the book of mormon the book of mormon musical really i think
that was the reason they're like we are going by latter-day we're changing it now yeah we got 15
minutes let's ask a couple we'll play a little who's more likely action if that's okay what can
you ask the first who's okay question are we competing in this game by the way addy do you

our same too who is more likely to buy unnecessary baby gadgets maddie um first of all unnecessary
or necessary both when you read comments are you reading like positive stuff no i read the
negative stuff matt that freaking ruins my life
what kind of question is that well you you could read a hundred good comments and then one bad
comment can just thanks my life gosh dang it i know which you do get a lot of um you tend to get
more i tend to get a lot more hate but that's for another combo oh no sarcasm does not read online
no it's horrible it's just because he's himself they just don't like him you can't be sorry
people like don't pick up the phone you can't pick up the phone you can't pick up the phone you can't
pick up the sarcasm
it actually breaks my heart because he's like the sweetest person ever it's because he's really funny
oh my gosh but if people don't like the humor people think it's always people always think
it's forced and like i'm purposely trying to do it but it's just who he is i'm sorry you guys
have already seen multiple times him do some like kind of funny little things over here
i was raised in a dry sarcastic family it just makes it's a language that some people just don't
know the internet doesn't know yeah exactly the reason that you're getting hate is the very reason
that uh my brother-in-law likes your videos because it's the dry humor that's why that's
why he has some of the strongest fans and the strongest families at the same time people love
fans and then i have the people that hate me it's like that's that's kind of where the people that
hate you just probably don't understand comedy is that that's literally what i say that's literally
what i say they're just like i don't know what i'm saying i don't know what i'm saying i don't
just a lower iq oh gosh yeah wow boom no 100 i don't recall he doesn't read the comments i'm
wheezing too much first of all people who hate comments already i just think i have a lot
you're so miserable that you're gonna go comment on this person's video something that just just
to hurt them yeah it's like good job buddy good job i hope you feel big and big now i know who's
more likely to be the fun parent
what is fun goofy
i feel like kids like goofy you know who's more likely to start talking about baby number two
i feel like that's gonna be you no i don't know dang it that's another mixed one you should be
prepared there's something that hits at six months postpartum that is like it just that
keeps you away or keeps makes you want to do it right away that's what they say they say like
the mom's like i hate this it sucks and then they have the baby and they're like you know what i
could do that again yeah literally literally it's crazy we have a friend who the guy's like
i i want a baby right now she's like i need i need a sec yeah i know that i know people like
that too i'm just sick in the head who is more likely to turn into a baby when they're sick
hey i like that honesty but he's not self-awareness but here's the thing he's really
not sick often and with my periods it's like i'm sick a couple days every month
and so he takes care he takes care of me like so often i'm looking at myself no
you earned this one anyway that's what i'm looking at he takes care of me so much so like
the very few times that he's ever sick i let her have it
freaking you kidding me who's more likely to make the parenting rules like be the stricter parent
that's gonna be such a mix we we actually align on like most like we'll talk and if like if someone
says i don't necessarily know if i agree with that and then we talk about it and then we're
on the 100 for the same i love that that's very healthy who's more likely
to turn into a baby when they're sick i don't know if i agree with that and then we talk about
take on an intruder well even with all the whole just in case series you just that's how you'd be
right you're like let me think here we we've actually talked about the cats no it'll be me
