I know a lot of Americans think Instagram Reels are dumb but for Indians they're the perfect replacement of tiktok. Tiktok and other Chinese apps like shein, Rowme was banned in some time ago because of national security reasons and we respect our government's decision. Instagram launched Reels around the same time and we're grateful. Yes we can't watch the trends around the exact same time as you all but we're happy :)
Liking and commenting so she hopefully sees it! I sent things for the babies last year in august and never heard if she got them): made a little santa dress and suit for them):
As a person who worked at a hotel, the amount of room service calls for breakfast is insane ! I remember when the front desk ( my position) had to help the kitchen take room service calls because they couldn’t keep up with the amount of guests calling literally from 7-10AM especially on the weekends
does anyone else ever have their OWN adhd triggered when erik and colleen interrupt each other when they're telling a story? lolol this room service one had me tense.
Honestly it kind of helps mine because I don't want to listen to one person for a long time lol so they're like nice little breaks tho theyre both good story tellers so I focus pretty well with them.
You guys should do more segments talking about your favorite food. Like “what’s your favorite poptart”, I have a very specific answer and I feel like you guys would too and it would start a discussion. My favorite poptart is the Barbie island princess collection it was the best!
Ugh I love y’all so much. Eric doing the late trend is not only so millennial and relatable but how precious he does it with no hesitation 🤣🤣🤣 my Relax is always pant sizes… why am I one day a 6 and the next a 12??!?! And why does this make me feel insecure???!! I hate it all
It has happened to me, in a store, the SAME EXACT model of jeans, in the SAME size, sometimes fit and sometimes don't. How can that happen?! They just don't care about the labels I think? It seems so random. I don't know what's going on
I always want Colleen to be so excited when Erik wants to do a trend or anything like that. Mainly because we have watched him grow in front of our eyes from a super shy pretty quiet , didn’t really have to many ideas in the beginning and now he is so comfortable. And I just love that he wanted to do this trend. Lmao. I know she isn’t being mean in anyway. I just want to see her get excited because he wants to do something from social media. Ps. I have a 20 year old son and I really think he is going to be a man like Erik. It’s pretty cool to me
I’ve NEVER in my life seen anyone touch the pops cereal omg, I’m shocked at how you guys adore it. To me that’s one of the ones I will let sit there forever untouched
I genuinely thought that the title of this video was totally clickbait, but I actually agree and this is by far my favorite episode of the podcast so far! I love y'all so much XX Steven
Also totally here fir the cereal chat 😂.. ya’ll should tell people if they watch to the end of each episode there will be heated cereal debates they would watch to the end every time 👏🏽🤗
For room service my mind immediately goes to breakfast aswell, Like Erik said we usually are going out for dinner the most I’ve ordered at night was a dessert and that’s that i felt bad for ordering late.
I really love how Eric and Colleen are so supportive with eachother. when eric was doing the trend after he paused to talk for a minute he didnt really know how to get back into the rhythm and Colleen said "you got this". And eric got right back into it. The first time Colleen tried out the trend Colleen was feeling very nervous. Then Eric was said "hey there's no pressure, You can do a short one." and when Colleen tried again she gained her confidence and my heart just melted on how much Eric was just hyping her up while she was doing the trend. God bless this family ❤️
I loved this episode and agreed with everything!! I instantly called my family needing to know their answers, we all felt so passionately about it !! And the rapping was sooooo good and enjoyable, Erik’s facial expressions when it was Colleens relax we’re on point !! One of my absolute favourite episodes!! 🔥❤️🥰😍💓💞💗😂😂😂
I can’t explain how much I relate to Erik on the TikTok thing. I only open it when my husband sends me a TikTok. I like TikToks reposted into TH-cam videos of either a compilation of videos of the same person or a bunch of videos of similar TikTok’s from different people. I LOVE long form content… hence I’m watching your podcast.
You too were absolutely adorable tonight! This is absolutely my favorite episode so far! I laughed so hard! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and life with us who aren't so lucky. ❤ your so very blessed! ❤
Idk about Colleen’s thing with the water bottle. It kinda sounds like she’s basically saying “ I’m normally the one who thinks people are dumb for not tossing out their water bottle and I’m pissed that I looked like the dumb ass this time.” 💀
My mom works in a pharmacy, could you imagine if someone came up to fill a script and they had like 4 to fill and she says are you sure you need all 4 ugh 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m just live tweeting this entire podcast. My Grandma always got us the huge tins of popcorn at Christmas. She passed away this year and I’m gonna get one in her honor. ♥️
The popcorn tub/tin is a guaranteed Xmas gift from my parents every year 😂😂😂😂 I think my dad likes picking out the designs on the tin for me and my brother I also love Sunchips!!! Honestly!
Your roomservice experience is so relatable! Whenever i order sushi (which is a lot because i order for the day after as well), they always put in 5 or 6 pieces of chopsticks even though it's just for myself, i'm still scared for the day they would ask if "this isn't only for you, right?"
Of all the relaxes this one hit me to the core .. blood actually boiling .. cuz ya there is always that “kid” .. it’s like where are your parents ?🤨!!.. omg this jus gets me .. I relate way too much to this 🤦🏼♀️
What's worse than those kids in a park is those kids at a beach. Then I feel obligated to make sure that kid does drown because it doesn't seem like anyone else is watching them
Late night room service is 100% for something fast and basic that a waiter/concierge can prepare! After a long day of working the chef is definitely not staying in the kitchen to prepare one portion of spaghetti! Also at that time the kitchen has already been cleaned for the next day
I don’t think you need to be embarrassed that people ask if you’re eating all the plates of food that you order, because that sounds like you think they are calling you “fat” when you obviously aren’t. It would be nice if there was a way you could get the food you are craving instantly though, so you wouldn’t waste so much food.
I'm the person who is reaching for the funyuns, cheesy popcorn, and regular lays. 🤣 It's either not universal or I'm the only person on the planet who feels this way. Edit: OMG grape nuts is literally my favorite cereal of all time. I literally don't understand your taste buds.
I’m with Colleen on the room service debate. If I wasn’t breakfast at the hotel most places have the complimentary breakfast in the lobby area. Room service is for dinner/dessert
I recently got pulled by security screening at the airport because I had a change purse with change in it!! The security guy scolded me and asked me why I had sooooo much change!! I told him that I had change in case I wanted things at the hotel in the vending machines. He looked at me like I was crazy and informed me that vending machines take credit cards and debit cards. By the way, I DID use my change for snacks and drinks at the hotel vending machines. He was such an Asshat!!!!🤣🤣
Colleen you have to take into consideration that probably the majority of the time when you're in a hotel it's for tour, so you're not like on a vacation and dont have the time to go out and get dinner. I'm sure it's common that people on business trips order room service dinner, but when other people think of being in hotels they think of being on vacation so they are going out and checking the area out and to eat dinner. I see each perspective and why y'all would have different opinions 😊
its ironic colleen doesnt like that tiktok trend cuz she killed it. i laughed out loud probably for the first time ever listening to this podcast. when she said "they get pissed" and then when into the verse - legendary lmfao
Eric’s relax about the playground really triggered me. I work with a non verbal autistic child and always get anxiety when we go to the playground because he loves to throw things and do many other things that other parents/kids find inappropriate or inconvenient. He isn’t throwing things to hurt ppl, he just really enjoys the whole process of gathering, climbing, throwing things etc. I try to find ways for the activities to be safe for everyone involved, but it makes me sad for him that he is do misunderstood. The kid he was talking about may very well have been neurodiverse.
The thing is, being neurodiverse in no way excuses the behavior if people are at risk of getting hurt. I had a child roll up on me at a busy park grabbing and pulling at my friend’s newborn screeching Baby! Baby! She wouldn’t listen to anything we said to stop her and kept stalking us and creeping up at different angles. When her mom showed up we were beyond pissed and she apologized, explaining her daughter is autistic and has thing for babies. No excuse! He was annoyed that he and his son could not safely use the slide because the child was unattended, whether autistic or not. It is not his job to consider all of the reasons the kid could be acting that way. That is for the caregiver. If children exhibit behaviors that put others at risk they must be supervised at all times. And really people don’t have to give disclaimers every time they discuss their experiences. You’re filling in the blanks with assumptions since he omitted stating the kid could be autistic and we should be mindful and accepting of their differences. True. But it’s also not his job nor his place to educate the public on this. Because really, he is just a dude talking to his wife about an annoying playground encounter and we happen to be listening. He stated himself nothing against the kid and that’s it’s on the adult.
I work with two kids with autism and it’s my job as an adult to correct their behavior and/or inform the people that the kids have autism. When I apologize and inform people that the kids are neurodivergent they are kind and understanding. Keep an eye on the kids and you’ll be find. Those destructive kids lack supervision. You can’t expect people to know. It’s okay and normal for people to be annoyed by them.
@@marybawkward789 you shouldn’t have to say sorry for them. Your explanation is sadly the way it is in a society where it doesn’t “take a village”. Everyone should feel responsible or at least protective of children. No neutodiverse child or caretaker should have to apologize for being themselves. The child’s behavior was not dangerous that you described to me, but typical of uptight ppl who get equally frustrated by autistic children, as the autistic children do by being misunderstood. I’m sorry for you, that you feel that way. I’m also sorry for the kid you care for though, living in the prison you’re making for them. Patience and parenting is required from everyone who steps on the playground. It’s a test run of real life and we are supposed to exhibit kindness and acceptance! Let me Stress NON VERBAL autism. This child cannot be corrected in the moment of chaos, as many children are with hyperactivity or meltdowns. First you have to calm down or release some energy. He is in another world and I can try all I want but “corrected” cannot be done at this time. It’s just insensitive of you and all involved.
@@laurasharp9455 It takes a village is a difficult model to live by in such a large society with vast differences in parenting approaches. I certainly would never stand idly by if a child needs help. I will also gently but firmly hold boundaries with children that are not my own if they cross a line with a child whom can’t or won’t speak for themself. But there are lines that I am uncomfortable crossing with children I don’t know. I do feel responsible for and protective of children which is why I do not tolerate behavior that puts others at risk. If it sounds as though I was being unnecessarily uptight during my encounter with the child at the park, let me paint the scene a little more clearly. We were at a large and extremely busy downtown park on a Saturday morning. Two moms were with the younger children while the dads monitored the older kids. Maybe it was a toddler you envisioned approaching us but this was not the case. This child was at least 8yo. And when I say touching the baby I mean she was attempting to grab and pull at a 3 month old baby. Myself and my friend barely clear 5 foot 2 and it took both of us to block the child from the baby for the nearly 2 minutes that she followed us around. It was intense to say the least. My frustration and anger was toward a parent that brought their child who tends to uncontrollably reach for babies to a park where there are obviously families with babies present and lost sight of her long enough for an encounter to occur. If that was a child in my care that would be the number one scenario I would ensure we avoid. If that doesn’t sound like a dangerous situation then we can agree to disagree. As for the children I care for I would hardly describe them as imprisoned. I’m no where near a perfect parent but I do provide plenty autonomy and freedom of choice, even at a very young age. I attempt to ready them for the real world through validation, modeling behavior, and encouragement. I teach them to be kind and accepting of others no matter the differences but I also teach them uphold boundaries for themselves, which includes inappropriate physical or verbal treatment by others at the park. I am no stranger to meltdowns and I am aware they can often last longer and be more intense for non verbal individuals. However, the point is, caregivers need to be present AND supportive. They can also give cues or instructions to others on ways they can help. But leaving a child to do as they wish at a park with other children present when they are known to cross boundaries is not ok. If my older son had witnessed the encounter at the park I would have explained the situation and my feelings around it in an inclusive way. We 100% should be accepting and supportive of neurodiverse individuals but that does not invalidate any of the frustration and anger I felt in that situation. And I suppose apologies are not necessary but they are kind.
THE BASEMENT YARD!!! The podcast chis discussion is from the basement yard podcast! I can’t believe you guys are talking about them these are my two fav podcast it’s so crazy to see how they two New York men got to you guys so crazy!!!!
I love you guys so much! You fill my heart with happiness! You are my ideal relationship with my future partner. You guys inspire me to have an open and honest relationship and I adore you! Love you two!
COLLEEN!! ERIC!! Please make a video for your main channel tasting & rating all these nostalgic childhood cereals!! With Eric! It Would be SO funny!! This episode had me rolling with laughter I couldn’t breathe!! 😂 Love you guys so much! ❤❤
idea for an intro after the intro song together: helloooooo colleen: and welcome to.. erik: relax, the podcast colleen: where we talk about nothing and everything erik: and in the meantime try to relax a little colleen: we’re your hosts, erik stocklin erik: and colleen ballinger together: enjoy!!
“Your Favorite Episode Ever” of my favorite podcast ever. 💗 Also, I typically order room service for a post-dinner pre-bed snack or breakfast. And I agree with Erik about the top cereals and that frosted mini wheats are the only cereal that needs to be slightly soggy but still have some crunch.
You say you love Stitch Fix but you constantly talk about not knowing how to put outfits together and I've never seen you unbox anything from Stitch Fix. You should try it. It might be the answer to your outfit/styling problems. Said with love.
I went to Olive Garden with my best friend one night and we haven’t been in years and we had the most rude waiter, we wanted to order a lot to try a little bit of everything and he kept saying how much food it was and not in a nice way. It was horrible, we ended up getting it all to go because we were tired of him.
Erik being a supportive spouse: “You’re like the least hydrated person I know.”
This was my fav part. 😂😂😂😂
That's exactly like my love n myself 😂😂😂

Ty for sharing this!! I love them too even with access to TT lol
I had no idea! This is super helpful knowing, and makes complete sense.
Indian here! 100% agree with this comment
completely forgot about this
i’m curious why they got band🤨
Colleen was so offended by Eric saying “sports utility vehicle” 😹
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and when he said about her "waking up" around noon? Omg... I thought she was gonna UNALIVE poor Eric!!!
Honestly Erik’s relax is sooooo on point
the PASSIONATE conversation about cereal is one of the greatest thing i’ve ever heard! 🤣
“i’m going to cry” about fruity pebbles. 😭
Colleen, check your P.O. Box when you get the chance! I sent three hand stitched sweaters for the babies and Flynn. 🥰
Commenting to boost!
That's so nice of you!!! Hope she sees this.
Liking and commenting so she hopefully sees it!
I sent things for the babies last year in august and never heard if she got them): made a little santa dress and suit for them):
@@reneeorme1854 aww thats sad
So sweet ❤
I NEED a segment on the podcast where Erick gives his take on the current trend on tic tok!!!!
“You turned into Mr. Bean” 😂 I love when Erik roasts Colleen.
Room service is a “we went out to dinner but ate too early and now it’s 10 pm and I’m hungry again and also want chocolate cake” sort of thing.
As a person who worked at a hotel, the amount of room service calls for breakfast is insane ! I remember when the front desk ( my position) had to help the kitchen take room service calls because they couldn’t keep up with the amount of guests calling literally from 7-10AM especially on the weekends
That was the most Dad moment for Erik hahah ( the rap )
does anyone else ever have their OWN adhd triggered when erik and colleen interrupt each other when they're telling a story? lolol this room service one had me tense.
it was so annoying 😭
Honestly it kind of helps mine because I don't want to listen to one person for a long time lol so they're like nice little breaks tho theyre both good story tellers so I focus pretty well with them.
Same! This video was particularly triggering. I almost turned it off. 🙁
yes makes me sooooo mad
YES Omg I was just yelling at the screen “STOP TALKING OVER EACH OTHER “😂
Colleen was quite literally slaying the “things that need to relax” Tik tok trend version on her last try.
Erik being brought to tears by fruity pebbles is me as fuck while I’m PMSing LMAOOOOOOO
same me rn fr
You guys should do more segments talking about your favorite food. Like “what’s your favorite poptart”, I have a very specific answer and I feel like you guys would too and it would start a discussion. My favorite poptart is the Barbie island princess collection it was the best!
Room service is definitely more for breakfast. Breakfast in bed !
Agreed! Or if I get hungry again after dinner but before bed at a hotel. ☺️
I have never heard of people getting breakfast room service. Most hotels usually have a complimentary breakfast in the lobby.
Y’all are funny asf. I love that I feel like I’m part of the convo. And I love Eric’s facial reaction to everything
Ugh I love y’all so much. Eric doing the late trend is not only so millennial and relatable but how precious he does it with no hesitation 🤣🤣🤣 my Relax is always pant sizes… why am I one day a 6 and the next a 12??!?! And why does this make me feel insecure???!! I hate it all
It is even crazier when within the same brand the sizes aren’t the same between different styles! And this doesn’t just happen to me with pants…
It has happened to me, in a store, the SAME EXACT model of jeans, in the SAME size, sometimes fit and sometimes don't. How can that happen?! They just don't care about the labels I think? It seems so random. I don't know what's going on
I always want Colleen to be so excited when Erik wants to do a trend or anything like that. Mainly because we have watched him grow in front of our eyes from a super shy pretty quiet , didn’t really have to many ideas in the beginning and now he is so comfortable. And I just love that he wanted to do this trend. Lmao. I know she isn’t being mean in anyway. I just want to see her get excited because he wants to do something from social media.
Ps. I have a 20 year old son and I really think he is going to be a man like Erik. It’s pretty cool to me
ERIK!!! Your Ode to Fruity Pebbles is absolutely iconic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Erik saying “I hope we’ll never have to talk to her again” about Jessica liking soggy cereal had me HOWLING this episode was so funny
I’ve NEVER in my life seen anyone touch the pops cereal omg, I’m shocked at how you guys adore it. To me that’s one of the ones I will let sit there forever untouched
I genuinely thought that the title of this video was totally clickbait, but I actually agree and this is by far my favorite episode of the podcast so far! I love y'all so much XX Steven
I cannot stop laughing. At 21:29 I'm thinking... (paraphrased) Colleen: "okay but this is gonna be really short." Later, Colleen: *goes on forever*
Erik keeps interrupting with extended tangents!!
Also totally here fir the cereal chat 😂.. ya’ll should tell people if they watch to the end of each episode there will be heated cereal debates they would watch to the end every time 👏🏽🤗
1:06:20
“Well we don’t need to ever talk to her again” 😂😂
Room service = breakfast, confirmed 😁❤️
For room service my mind immediately goes to breakfast aswell, Like Erik said we usually are going out for dinner the most I’ve ordered at night was a dessert and that’s that i felt bad for ordering late.
I think that some kids at the park are alone mostly bc there parents are neglectful and they are lonely😭 but yes it’s frustrating
I still usually try to be nice to every lonely kid that may come up to us
The podcast is The Basement Yard with Joe Santagato and Frank Alvarez!!! It's a great podcast I've watched them for YEARS
YES! Was looking to see if anyone commented this, love them
the dipsey doodles!! had literally never heard of those lmao
I'm so glad someone else got that lol I love those guys.
Omg I knew it was them when she was describing it 😂 love them
I really love how Eric and Colleen are so supportive with eachother. when eric was doing the trend after he paused to talk for a minute he didnt really know how to get back into the rhythm and Colleen said "you got this". And eric got right back into it. The first time Colleen tried out the trend Colleen was feeling very nervous.

I loved this episode and agreed with everything!! I instantly called my family needing to know their answers, we all felt so passionately about it !! And the rapping was sooooo good and enjoyable, Erik’s facial expressions when it was Colleens relax we’re on point !! One of my absolute favourite episodes!! 🔥❤️🥰😍💓💞💗😂😂😂
this is the only podcast I listen to and I just love it so much💕 1 episode a week feels like torture lol😂 sending you guys love!
i 100% think of room service as like pizza at the end of the day back in the hotel watching bad hbo shows lmao
I can’t explain how much I relate to Erik on the TikTok thing. I only open it when my husband sends me a TikTok. I like TikToks reposted into TH-cam videos of either a compilation of videos of the same person or a bunch of videos of similar TikTok’s from different people.

Pleeeeeaaaase do this again. I looove these rankings of stuff❤️❤️😂
Erik's "to quote Shakespeare: 'tis not" and "I'm gonna cry" made me cackle HAHAHHA
I laughed when Colleen said she’s familiar at traveling but then said she still uses paper boarding passes!
I’m with Eric on the fruity pebbles 😂. I ❤ fruity pebbles!
Erik Is So Chill Though This Whole Podcast 😊 I Love Cheese Popcorn Or Dorito's
You too were absolutely adorable tonight! This is absolutely my favorite episode so far! I laughed so hard! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and life with us who aren't so lucky. ❤ your so very blessed! ❤
Idk about Colleen’s thing with the water bottle. It kinda sounds like she’s basically saying “ I’m normally the one who thinks people are dumb for not tossing out their water bottle and I’m pissed that I looked like the dumb ass this time.” 💀
just wanted to say that I finally caught covid this month and Relax + the vlogs have been keeping me great company in isolation
Late night room service is, in my opinion, is by far the most common room service!
I LOVE these discussions! Absolutely my favourite episode so far as well!
My mom works in a pharmacy, could you imagine if someone came up to fill a script and they had like 4 to fill and she says are you sure you need all 4 ugh 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok COLLEEN!!! Your relax was amazing! So was yours Erik!!!! Y’all are hilarious, I love this podcast!! Great idea Erik, I happen to love this trend!
43 minutes into the podcast and I’m very concerned about Erik’s fish and chips. 😂
I’m just live tweeting this entire podcast. My Grandma always got us the huge tins of popcorn at Christmas. She passed away this year and I’m gonna get one in her honor. ♥️
OH NO I FORGOT 😂
This was so much fun, so lighthearted and a refreshing break from the world. Thank you.
I’m so triggered by the chip discussion omg😂 MORE FUNYUNS FOR ME THEN!!!
😂 SAMEEE!!
Exactly!! We all know Fritos corn chips are the last chips in the box.
Funyuns and lays are my favorites
Absolutely!
yes this
This episode is so good! I loved it, both of your personalities really shined here.
I feel like Golden Grahams is an underrated cereal. It’s my fave.
Mine too!
I have never heard of people ordering room service for breakfast. Most hotels have complimentary breakfast in the lobby! I’m 100% with you, Colleen.
The popcorn tub/tin is a guaranteed Xmas gift from my parents every year 😂😂😂😂 I think my dad likes picking out the designs on the tin for me and my brother
I also love Sunchips!!! Honestly!
I agree with Erik about the frosted mini wheat cereal 100%✅
I’m with Eric on the Rice Krispies 😂😂😂 I used to eat them every morning with milk granted I used to put SO much sugar in it 😅 but yes very refreshing
32:26 The shock, disbelief and aggression hit so hard even through the screen, it almost made me feel bad although I didn't say it. 🤣
I love the room service part lol, that is SO funny that colleen planned it. Tbh I would tell them straight up, yeah this is all of me
I sat here at 4am watchng your podcast with a bowl of fruity pebbles so YES, Erik, I agree with you!
erik: the greatest cereal...comes in a little box...
me: grape nuts
Your roomservice experience is so relatable! Whenever i order sushi (which is a lot because i order for the day after as well), they always put in 5 or 6 pieces of chopsticks even though it's just for myself, i'm still scared for the day they would ask if "this isn't only for you, right?"
Of all the relaxes this one hit me to the core .. blood actually boiling .. cuz ya there is always that “kid” .. it’s like where are your parents ?🤨!!.. omg this jus gets me .. I relate way too much to this 🤦🏼♀️
What's worse than those kids in a park is those kids at a beach. Then I feel obligated to make sure that kid does drown because it doesn't seem like anyone else is watching them
The podcast Colleen mentioned is the basement yard with joe santagato 😂😂
As an Australian ~ Corn flakes is our thing!!! Loveeee I was so shocked when you said it was garbage 😢
They are nuts!!! Corn flakes are so good!! and you can add so many things to them!!
I love corn flakes and frosted flakes!
Late night room service is 100% for something fast and basic that a waiter/concierge can prepare! After a long day of working the chef is definitely not staying in the kitchen to prepare one portion of spaghetti! Also at that time the kitchen has already been cleaned for the next day
I don’t think you need to be embarrassed that people ask if you’re eating all the plates of food that you order, because that sounds like you think they are calling you “fat” when you obviously aren’t. It would be nice if there was a way you could get the food you are craving instantly though, so you wouldn’t waste so much food.
Lmao "do you need that one too" 😂💀
I'm the person who is reaching for the funyuns, cheesy popcorn, and regular lays. 🤣 It's either not universal or I'm the only person on the planet who feels this way. Edit: OMG grape nuts is literally my favorite cereal of all time. I literally don't understand your taste buds.
Agree!
I agree with all of this! I put sugar in my grape nuts though
I'm also definitely a funyuns & lays gal, I prefer their lighter texture
Funyuns and popcorn would be GONE at my house
Baked lays are my favorite 🤩😁
A) who can afford room service anyway and B) who can afford a hotel 😂😂😂
Only Colleen !!
I’m with Colleen on the room service debate. If I wasn’t breakfast at the hotel most places have the complimentary breakfast in the lobby area. Room service is for dinner/dessert
I recently got pulled by security screening at the airport because I had a change purse with change in it!! The security guy scolded me and asked me why I had sooooo much change!! I told him that I had change in case I wanted things at the hotel in the vending machines. He looked at me like I was crazy and informed me that vending machines take credit cards and debit cards. By the way, I DID use my change for snacks and drinks at the hotel vending machines. He was such an Asshat!!!!🤣🤣
Colleen you have to take into consideration that probably the majority of the time when you're in a hotel it's for tour, so you're not like on a vacation and dont have the time to go out and get dinner. I'm sure it's common that people on business trips order room service dinner, but when other people think of being in hotels they think of being on vacation so they are going out and checking the area out and to eat dinner. I see each perspective and why y'all would have different opinions 😊
My favorite episode so far!!! And I’ve watched every single one! ❤
I love how I was eating lays while they were saying no one buys them…. I guess I’m why they’re in business 😅
The cereal debate was the best thing ever, please do this again with another category!!
Room service is def more breakfast to me. Or drinks and dessert.
I listened to this episode while getting a massage and lol you guys this was hilarious thank you
Ok I never comment on these but this is major! I absolutely agree with the soggy frosted mini wheat!! 😂
100%!!
every episode should be like this one
its ironic colleen doesnt like that tiktok trend cuz she killed it. i laughed out loud probably for the first time ever listening to this podcast. when she said "they get pissed" and then when into the verse - legendary lmfao
I was so invested in the cereal topic. Love it!
The only room service I’ve ever ordered was late at night, a second dinner.
Jessica eats soggy cereal only.
Erik: “Well we don’t ever need to talk to her again.”😂☠️
Love his humor esp lately.🔥
Eric’s relax about the playground really triggered me. I work with a non verbal autistic child and always get anxiety when we go to the playground because he loves to throw things and do many other things that other parents/kids find inappropriate or inconvenient. He isn’t throwing things to hurt ppl, he just really enjoys the whole process of gathering, climbing, throwing things etc. I try to find ways for the activities to be safe for everyone involved, but it makes me sad for him that he is do misunderstood. The kid he was talking about may very well have been neurodiverse.
Yea it seemed really ignorant, triggered me too
The thing is, being neurodiverse in no way excuses the behavior if people are at risk of getting hurt. I had a child roll up on me at a busy park grabbing and pulling at my friend’s newborn screeching Baby! Baby! She wouldn’t listen to anything we said to stop her and kept stalking us and creeping up at different angles. When her mom showed up we were beyond pissed and she apologized, explaining her daughter is autistic and has thing for babies. No excuse!
He was annoyed that he and his son could not safely use the slide because the child was unattended, whether autistic or not. It is not his job to consider all of the reasons the kid could be acting that way. That is for the caregiver. If children exhibit behaviors that put others at risk they must be supervised at all times.
And really people don’t have to give disclaimers every time they discuss their experiences. You’re filling in the blanks with assumptions since he omitted stating the kid could be autistic and we should be mindful and accepting of their differences. True. But it’s also not his job nor his place to educate the public on this. Because really, he is just a dude talking to his wife about an annoying playground encounter and we happen to be listening. He stated himself nothing against the kid and that’s it’s on the adult.
I work with two kids with autism and it’s my job as an adult to correct their behavior and/or inform the people that the kids have autism. When I apologize and inform people that the kids are neurodivergent they are kind and understanding. Keep an eye on the kids and you’ll be find. Those destructive kids lack supervision. You can’t expect people to know. It’s okay and normal for people to be annoyed by them.
@@marybawkward789 you shouldn’t have to say sorry for them. Your explanation is sadly the way it is in a society where it doesn’t “take a village”. Everyone should feel responsible or at least protective of children. No neutodiverse child or caretaker should have to apologize for being themselves. The child’s behavior was not dangerous that you described to me, but typical of uptight ppl who get equally frustrated by autistic children, as the autistic children do by being misunderstood. I’m sorry for you, that you feel that way. I’m also sorry for the kid you care for though, living in the prison you’re making for them. Patience and parenting is required from everyone who steps on the playground. It’s a test run of real life and we are supposed to exhibit kindness and acceptance! Let me Stress NON VERBAL autism. This child cannot be corrected in the moment of chaos, as many children are with hyperactivity or meltdowns. First you have to calm down or release some energy. He is in another world and I can try all I want but “corrected” cannot be done at this time. It’s just insensitive of you and all involved.
@@laurasharp9455 It takes a village is a difficult model to live by in such a large society with vast differences in parenting approaches. I certainly would never stand idly by if a child needs help. I will also gently but firmly hold boundaries with children that are not my own if they cross a line with a child whom can’t or won’t speak for themself. But there are lines that I am uncomfortable crossing with children I don’t know. I do feel responsible for and protective of children which is why I do not tolerate behavior that puts others at risk.
If it sounds as though I was being unnecessarily uptight during my encounter with the child at the park, let me paint the scene a little more clearly. We were at a large and extremely busy downtown park on a Saturday morning. Two moms were with the younger children while the dads monitored the older kids. Maybe it was a toddler you envisioned approaching us but this was not the case. This child was at least 8yo. And when I say touching the baby I mean she was attempting to grab and pull at a 3 month old baby. Myself and my friend barely clear 5 foot 2 and it took both of us to block the child from the baby for the nearly 2 minutes that she followed us around. It was intense to say the least.
My frustration and anger was toward a parent that brought their child who tends to uncontrollably reach for babies to a park where there are obviously families with babies present and lost sight of her long enough for an encounter to occur. If that was a child in my care that would be the number one scenario I would ensure we avoid. If that doesn’t sound like a dangerous situation then we can agree to disagree.
As for the children I care for I would hardly describe them as imprisoned. I’m no where near a perfect parent but I do provide plenty autonomy and freedom of choice, even at a very young age. I attempt to ready them for the real world through validation, modeling behavior, and encouragement. I teach them to be kind and accepting of others no matter the differences but I also teach them uphold boundaries for themselves, which includes inappropriate physical or verbal treatment by others at the park. I am no stranger to meltdowns and I am aware they can often last longer and be more intense for non verbal individuals. However, the point is, caregivers need to be present AND supportive. They can also give cues or instructions to others on ways they can help. But leaving a child to do as they wish at a park with other children present when they are known to cross boundaries is not ok.
If my older son had witnessed the encounter at the park I would have explained the situation and my feelings around it in an inclusive way. We 100% should be accepting and supportive of neurodiverse individuals but that does not invalidate any of the frustration and anger I felt in that situation.
And I suppose apologies are not necessary but they are kind.

“Your Favorite Episode Ever” of my favorite podcast ever. 💗 Also, I typically order room service for a post-dinner pre-bed snack or breakfast. And I agree with Erik about the top cereals and that frosted mini wheats are the only cereal that needs to be slightly soggy but still have some crunch.
Colleen is every food service worker’s nightmare.
Yes!
Loved the new way of saying the relaxes on a beat 😂
You say you love Stitch Fix but you constantly talk about not knowing how to put outfits together and I've never seen you unbox anything from Stitch Fix. You should try it. It might be the answer to your outfit/styling problems. Said with love.
This conversation at the end made me go buy 3 boxes of cereal
I went to Olive Garden with my best friend one night and we haven’t been in years and we had the most rude waiter, we wanted to order a lot to try a little bit of everything and he kept saying how much food it was and not in a nice way. It was horrible, we ended up getting it all to go because we were tired of him.
Erik is hilarious. I 🎉🎉love his TikTok. How are you not laughing!!
