POV: you came back to watch this after the most recent episode where Erik was fiddling with his button for half a century
Absolutely! 🤣
Timestamps?
OH MY GOD yes and also time stamp??
31:43
Yes! Lol 😂
pov: you came back to this episode to watch erik “struggle” with his buttons
Ahhhhh ur pfp
it's true it's true
yes😭
I couldn’t stop staring at Erik struggling to button his jacket. I barely heard any of the conversation during that part. 😂😂
I couldn't help smiling at it lol
Thank you for mentioning it, because I was cooking during that part and was only listening. I just rewound and watched and oh my goodness. 😂
it was super triggering to me. I know that feeling!
It’s a little distracting but it looks like he’s just fiddling, not necessarily struggling lol
omg yesss
This episode is just a reminder that Flynn gets 1000% of his faces and mannerisms from erik lmao
I can’t wait for Colleen to yell “I FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN” again
Was so crazy how fast that happened after she had Flynn! Made me so happy for her.
Every time I watch the birth vlog...thats the exact part I just lose it at, I can never stop crying after that lol.
@@TohruMarie SAME
31:55-33:15 I'm dying laughing at Erik's attempt to button his shirt for MINUTES, even switching to a different button when the first one wasn't working🤣🤣 all while he keeps having a coherent conversation about his college background🤣
Tysm I was searching for the time stamps of this 🙏
IM ACTUALLY SCREAMING ITS SO FUNNY. AHAHAHHA
I’m dying because Colleen said she never noticed it but she literally looks down at him doing it around 32:10
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” The saying doesn’t mean you have to eat in the morning or eat “breakfast-y” foods. The term breakfast refers to breaking the fast. So the first meal you have after sleeping, could be lunch, is the most important meal of the day. Just want to try and make the first food of the day healthy/good.
Wow! I'm not fact checking this and am blindly believing it but I find this so incredibly interesting. Makes so much sense!
I never knew or thought of it this way. Makes so much sense
I’ve heard that Kellogg’s brand literally made up the “breakfast is the most important part of the day” slogan to sell cereal in like the 50s 😅 this is a very good point you’re right
Right, I actually wish they’d change the phrase to something like “your first meal is the most important”
@@Forsakenme634 yesss!!!
Is nobody going to talk about how FABULOUS Colleen's hair looks!?
RIGHT?!?!
She would 100% laugh and say "I haven't washed it in 4 days" lol! love her
@@myoung6067 you are ABSOLUTELY right!!!!
Sorry I made the 299 to 300 so sorry
THANKU I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS
I love how random their conversations are 😂 I swear I could listen to them talk for days
This might possibly upset Erik a bit, but can we get a christmas tree in the back of the podcast room? Like on thanksgiving?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT
I second that.
oml PLEASE
Or... Half a christmas tree only on Colleens side, hahaa!
More like the day after Halloween
Erik: “that theme song doesn’t get old does it?😄”
Colleen: “it does😬”
I love the theme song and sing it randomly throughout the day
@@amandamartinez6124 I thought I was the only one 😂 I soothe my 5 week old son singing it 😂 it just sounds happy
It sticks to your mind 😂
You're good with the theme song... Leave it be!
You can leave butter out... I'm a old grandma and I've left butter out always, because I can't stand full butter either spread on toast or anyting
colleen talking about waking up physically ill after any quantity of sleep and wanting to vomit after any breakfast is the most relatable thing ever! i always thought there was something wrong with me!
Colleen being SO confused about sports and Erik getting frustrated trying to explain to her, is me and my husband😂💀 don’t worry Colleen, I’m with you girl 🤣😅
🤣🤣
I was in marching band in hs, so I was literally at every football game. My husband played for his school, just ALL of the sports. We've been married almost 20 years and he still can not fathom how I can't explain how football "works."
Then again I will never get how he can't just get through one novel....
I love love!
I’m the opposite. I was getting so frustrated hearing her talk about it lol.
COLLEEN AS A CHILD I WAS LITERALLY SO CONVINCED THAT I WAS BEING WATCHED AT ALL TIMES I WAS LITERALLY ALWAYS PERFORMING EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE AND IVE NEVER SEEN THE TRUMAN SHOW
Sssaaaammmmmeeeeee!!!
a 'names we love but won't be using' segment ( like jessica and chris did ) would be so so interesting!!!! sending such love to all of you
Erik's concern when Colleen said she wasn't going to eat...like these humans love each other so much it brings me so much joy to see
erik trying to button his jacket for 2 minutes straight😅 i love it, made me chuckle 32:00
Hahaha I love it 😂
Thank you for the time stamp! I came here only after the next podcast where Colleen actually read the comments on his button 😂 only listened to it the first time and boy did I miss out.
I was CONVINCED I was being filmed from like 4 years old to 13 years old, literally for no reason. It seemed like a really anxiety enducing, paranoid game in my head that I thought was a real film that crowds of people could watch live. Maybe it was my now diagnosed autism or adhd, maybe not, but I related so much when Colleen said that.
I think it's quite common in neurodivergent people to think stuff like that or thinking you or the people around you are aliens or other things like that. I think it's because we react slightly different than is expected so our brains try to make sense of why we don't seem like everyone else.
I love love love the raw honesty on Relax. Erik openly talks about his fears and Colleen helps him sort thru them and vice versa. Can’t wait till the twins are here. It’s going to be a wild ride.!! The burner phone idea for 50 podcasts is an awesome idea. Love you guys love leisa Western Australia xxx
West Aussie!! Aloha me too!!
Erik: “We have an anniversary coming up.”
Colleen: “We do?”
Erik: “We do.”
Coleen: “No we don’t, not until November.”
Also Colleen:
CHRISTMAS NOW!
Omg 🤣🤣🤣 truuuu
lol i think this is because she’s caught between “i have forever left in this pregnancy” and “it’s christmas right now today merry christmas!!!”
Hahaha
Erik*
I am a definite morning person! Like I absolutely cannot sleep past 8AM. But I totally understand people who can't do that, even if they adjust their schedule, because no matter how hard I try, I cannot stay up past midnight. It's just not how my body works. I think everyone should just do whatever works for them. Everyone's different.
Yep
Erik is a saint for weathering that baseball conversation… I personally do not have that level of patience.. I would have snapped 😂
I am soooo excited to watch Christmas with Flynn and the twins this year, btw can’t wait to hear their names and i love you guys so much!!!! Thanks for giving me something to listen to while I study!!!
Same! Ballinger Christmas videos are everything to me!
Colleen re: hockey in the Olympics.
"Does Canada win every time?"
LOLOLOLOL. I love you Colleen.
Watching Erik explain football and baseball to Colleen has been the best part of my day. I’m crying 😂😂
I never thought I was being watched but as a single mom of 4, not by choice, I acted like I was being watched during stressful times. Like if my kids were making me crazy and I started to turn into a screaming banshee, I always tried not do or say anything that would embarrass me if someone was watching. I hope that makes sense. it helped me to step back and evaluate my behavior. It helped me be a better mom and keep my cool during times the kids were out of control or I was having a bad day.
That’s a very great idea! I never thought of this. Sometimes it’s so easy to not lose your cool, then other times……. Not so much. Thank you for this idea!
I have so much to say about this podcast LOL. Such a good ep! 1) Colleen, if you love scrambled eggs and pancakes, you love breakfast food - you just don't need food first thing in the morning. 2) I am forced to be a morning person - my daughter needs breakfast & meds by 6:30am EVERY day (for the rest of our lives kind of situation), so yep I get up at 5:30am so I don't rush around making my anxiety crazy. The drink of water, the slower morning, stretching in bed as soon as my alarm goes - it all works for me! I get more done before 9am than I do after 6pm LOL. 3) Also, you are not your anxiety - you FEEL it, but you're not anxiety itself. It's something that will pass eventually - so I tend to say 'oh i feel anxious today' rather than 'i'm anxious, i am stressed'. But that's just me, I felt so wired this morning but I feel better now xx
Im.diagnosed with anxiety and for me it's like the anxiety never ends. I would do anything to feel like u do. It's like anxiety is who I am most days. Also good mother for taking care of your child for maybe forever. Sounds normal but in reality there are so many supposed "moms" who wouldnt
@@cleosworld9096 big love to you Kelly xx it’s taken me over 20 years to get to this point - anxiety (for me) will always be a part of my life, it doesn’t end, I know it will visit me from time to time but I am now able to recognize when my anxiety is higher and show myself more kindness - I felt so wired this morning it was horrible - I still feel it in my body. I am diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorders.
Isn’t it bananas how three years ago you had a blog titled, “I’m having twins” and it was about your two lipsticks! Hello life foreshadowing!💕😱
I didn’t even notice Erik fidgeting but this is so funny
Same xD
Colleen sounded like a teenager to her parents when Erik was explaining how avoiding the phone first thing in the morning is a good advice 😅😂
i feel like they learn something new about each other every single podcast 😭😭
“Rates of anxiety and depression have doubled in the US… AND in our home” 😂😂
I used to feel watched all the time, too!! Luckily, it didn’t rule my childhood, but I definitely did feel constantly watched for a few years there!
Oh Eric, you have the most patience of anyone I've ever heard. The sports talk sounded like explaining astro physics to a toddler. Love you Colleen, not everyone loves sports.
I love the vibes of this podcast how easy the conversation between you flows. How many topics are being brought up. How real and raw the points are and feeling the exact same way about situations. I wish I could have a conversation on one of your podcasts with you two!! I love you guys!
31:43 Eric is so cute nervously messing with the buttons on his shirt. So endearing. I don’t even know why.
English Education major here. When Erik was talking about English teachers, it made my heart happy.
The way Erik processes every day inconveniences through anxiety reminds me of myself so much! The squeaky cart is now part of you. You own this cart. You can't ever bring it back because you chose it. And in a way, it chose you. There's no turning back.
"How many times? How. MANY. times have I said stop pulling hair off of that cat..." This made me laugh out loud! I love this podcast so much!
So i TOTALLY had the same thing as a child, where i thought and acted like someone was always filming me, like a reality show, and kind of used it- as a teen- to no do weird things 🤣🥰 so crazy to hear im not the only one! Also- the baseball breakdown was SO informative. Im a huge football fan but now i feel like i understand the baseball brackett as well!
The sports segment was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen😂😂 Same Colleen, SAMEE😂😂😂😂❤️❤️
I am 100% a morning person. I thrive waking up with the sun. I have 3 kids. My husband is a lot like you two and it blows MY mind that such a creature exists.
I want a small cute & intimate ceremony that my spouse & I don’t totally know the date of either.
Goals y’all ♥️
I felt Erik's struggle to explain sports so much. AH. Also, there are the Toronto Blue Jays! It's not just American teams.
Omg if I had to listen to one podcast for the rest of my life, it would be this one💜❤️💜❤️
Literally.
I think Erik should make the updated theme song of Relax, he’s really good at making up lyrics and singing lol
is anyone gonna talk about how long it took erik to button his jacket?😭😭
23:49 Erik I beg of you please never EVER knock on wood again without a warning, I was listening to audio only, about to go to bed, room is dark, kinda zoned out and I hear this “knock, knock!” That increase in heart rate is enough to suffice my exercise this week, geez 😮💨
I’m not into sports either and I feel for Colleen. I love how she compared a bracket to a pyramid scheme.
when Erik said: why do you have to be so down on yourself my heart melted 🤗 17:13
I’m cracking up😂 I am 100000% a morning person!! I truly believe that 6am-11am is the best absolute best time of the day.
that bit of erik putting the fur ball in the fridge made sitting through the sports bit kinda worth it (albeit with a bunch of double taps).
As a huge sports fans, especially football, listening to Erik try to explain divisions and playoffs to Colleen was sooo funny. I can see how it can be confusing for someone who isn’t familiar with sports terms. I wish they would talk about sports more often
Here’s my attempt to blow Colleen’s mind: So there’s actually a baseball team in the National League called the Nationals.
i love the random conversations 😂 i could listen to you guys forever
When you said you always felt like you were being watched, I felt that. I used to make sure I was dressed constantly, I’d shut my windows making sure there was no way someone outside could see me. I used to get kinda paranoid and moved my bed away from my window just because I felt like I was being filmed on a show constantly… but I’d never seen the Truman show, and I didn’t even know TH-cam existed yet.
But I wasn’t religious so I didn’t think it was god or whoever watching me I just legitimately thought someone was watching me at all times and would sometimes dance or sing just so they could hear
Caffeine is scientifically proven to increase anxiety. I learned this the hard way (bad panic attack) & now it's a once in a while treat for me.
Erik! I recently started to not look at my phone for the first hour after I wake up. I read it somewhere online and I thought mhm that’s a cool concept, I’m going to try it! My morning mental stress was almost non existent after the first week of doing this. My head felt clearer in the mornings and I found myself to be way more productive. I highly recommend people trying this out!!
17:00
Colleen, get a butter container that you can keep on your counter or the butter bell and you will never have cold, hard, unspreadable butter again
erik looks at colleen with pure love when she’s talking, i’m so glad that they do the podcast and we get to see more of erik
I choose to wake up at 5:30 am for FUN. I don't know why I like mornings so much but no matter how late I stay up, I wake up before the sun.
Here's a great trick for the cold butter issue. It's life changing! Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave-safe measuring cup (Pyrex is great). Microwave it for 2 minutes until very hot. Place pieces of butter into a heatproof bowl or on a plate. Very carefully remove water from microwave. Place butter in the microwave. Immediately close the microwave door to trap hot air inside.
The radiant heat will soften the butter in about 10 minutes.
I learned in therapy that “constantly feeling like you’re being filmed” is an anxiety/bad self esteem thing..I was told that in therapy when I was like 15 and then again like a year ago (I’m 29) and I full hearted believe it, I’ve felt like that since I was like 5 years old
I felt the same thing 24/7... but its only because I grew up in a religion that taught you as a kid that your guardian angels are watching you every second of every day and reporting back to God at the end of the night 💀😂 Needless to say I grew up with crippling anxiety and low self esteem lol
@@clo_beanery DUDE SAME!!! I literally never made that connection untill Colleen and then you pointed out! Really spooky tbh
Colleen I think I felt the SAME way as you when described feeling like you were being in filmed-ish. Not in a paranoid way but in a way like we are performing? That's how it felt for me. I also grew up very religious and was taught that we are being observed by a higher power. So you are not alone in that and Im glad you shared because Ive never put words to that before or mentioned it to anyone.
I need to say Colleen you’re not alone about the feeling about being filmed. I’m 33 and growing up realty shows were just starting to become a thing when I was growing up. So I was constantly thinking my car had a hidden camera so I’d try extra hard to sing well. And making sure my bedroom was clean in case I was ever on those dating shows that the guys snooped in their rooms. And it wasn’t just me comparing to those shows, I always was just convinced I was so interesting that obviously a camera should be around filming.
On the subject of butter, they accualy make spredable butter that you can spread right out of the fridge. You also can keep butter on the counter for a week or two, you just have to worry about molding past that.
I am, for sure, a morning person 😁 I go to bed "earlier" than is typical so that I get 8 hours sleep and can feel fresh at 8am 😊 I also find that if I eat late I cannot wake up so my tips for waking up easier is stretching, drinking plenty of water from as soon as you wake up and washing your face/skincare routine 💜 These things really helped me 😎😎😎
i absolutely love love love this podcast, honestly i have not missed a single episode. i have been here for all 40! this is the only podcast i am faithful to watching. thank you both for the endless entertainment and for all the baseball knowledge today, i learned a good bit too!
In Norway we have some butter that is dairy butter mixed with rapeseed oil. It spreads like a freaking Godgift! AND you can use it to cook AND bake!! I know, right? MINDBLOWN
Eric fiddling with his buttons is making me lol!🤣🤣
I’ve always kept a stick of butter out of the fridge, in order to keep it room temp to spread it. I’ve never gotten sick from doing this haha
PLEASE don’t change the theme song! I love it so much! It brings me comfort, relaxation, happiness.. It’s so catchy, I sing it all the time! It’s actually the reason why I started listening! I kept hearing the song at the end of your vlogs and just had to tune in 😊
I just started watching yall a few months ago. I just learned how you and Eric met. I was going thru old videos and Colleen you've changed so much but the one thing that has remained the same is you're so genuine, down to earth, and relatable. I'd love a video of yall's love story. Also, you're so beautiful. I too am getting older but dang you just keep looking better and better. Continued prayers for you and your family. Can't wait to see the twins 😍
My favorite thing about their parenting style is that they treat flynn as an adult and a kid all at once. They don’t expect him to be too old for his age but they speak to him as a human being and not their toddler. I love it so much
The someone always watching thing as a kid..super relatable and has been in my thoughts lately. I definitely think it does stem from growing up being taught that God is always watching and knows all.
I don’t know. I still feel this way at 32. I was brought up religious, but not very religious. I did my holy communion and it didn’t interest me. Now I don’t consider myself religious. And never really believed in it (not being against people who are religious. It can be a really good and wonderful thing!). And I still have the feeling as being watched like in the Truman show. I have no idea where the feeling comes from for me.
I just got home from my first solo roadtrip that was longer than a few hours and I was stressed about it. I listened to these podcasts and literally had such an amazing time! I was laughing and fully conversing with y'all by the end.
Side note from many podcasts ago... I can't believe Colleen doesn't think Taken is a popular movie that people can quote randomly. I was SCREAMING at you through my car radio 😂❤️
I literally sing the theme song multiple times a day for no reason 😅
I used to and my husband goes, "I need to relax?" 🤣
I love that they take time to learn eachother’s passions. We all know Colleen doesn’t have patience for a lot of things that don’t intrigue her but she wants to learn because she unconditionally loves Erik ♥️
I can’t wait to learn their names >w< ✨
Miranda will name her Lima Bean and him Boston Bean.
@@playwithmeinsecondlife6129 Omg! Yess 🤣
@@playwithmeinsecondlife6129 Oh my god yessss😂
The boy will be refried
Watching Erik try to explain baseball, or really any sport, to Colleen just made my day. I was having a terrible night but have been laughing for the last 10 minutes because I was just as confused. Love you guys!!!
My Mom is TOTALLY a morning person. She feels so energetic and happy in the mornings and gets things done. Even if she tried to stay a sleep she just doesn't. She loves doing things in the morning, she says it makes her days longer. I on the other hand can NOT relate.
I loved the flow of this episode! It truly felt like a true date night
"Thigh butter!?? Who wants thigh butter?!?" 😂😂💀
It's better than crotch butter!
Huge morning person here. I have never slept past 9. I am always up at 6 am. I work an evening job. Mornings are my favorite thing. No ones up and its quiet. I walk my dog and eat breakfast, go to the gym and to the store if I need to before 9 am. I also keep my house at 62 F during winter and love the cold. Some might consider me to be a psychopath lol
I also fall asleep within 42 seconds while staring at my phone. Every night. Don’t wake up during the night and hardly remember dreams. I never need an alarm cause my brain just knows that it needs to get up, even if its a 3 am flight lol
Don’t worry, I have plenty of trauma and issues that balance these nice things lol
Is anyone else as obsessed with Colleen and her family as I am? I just adore them and look forward to hearing from them all the time. So lovely how much they share and how lucky I feel to have such a cool online family. Sending you all so much love
I've never laughed so much omg the sports segment are you kidding me! I almost spit my drink multiple times🤣🤣
Hi Colleen and Erik! Your anniversary is on November 8. I remembered it during one of Colleen's vlogs last year. :) Hope this helps and I love tuning in to your podcast every week. 😃
underrated comment lol love the podcast and feel like they are relationship goals
Colleen!!! You need a butter bell!! You can leave it on the counter and it uses water to seal it so it won’t go bad. It’s awesome!
my step dad wakes up singing and dancing and is genuinely such a happy morning person
Omg, I was laughing so hard when Erik was explaining Baseball to Colleen! I also don't know anything about baseball and I was right with Colleen about the "wait, so there's 14 teams?" Lol.
I’m sure the struggle is real for Rachel…listening to Erik try and explain baseball to her sister. A topic she herself has most likely tried to explain more than once 🤣
Grateful for Colleen admitting and asking the sports questions that I'm too embarrassed to ask personally. And thankful for Erik for answering those obvious answers without hesitation or annoyance
I started liking mornings when my kids got older and I wasn’t sleep deprived anymore. Now that the kids sleep in, it’s my only time to myself! 😂
The moment when he holded up the cat hair and got so concerned when Colleen saud it made her lose her appetite and she didn't eat. That was so adorable. Now that is a good man right there
I really like listening to your viewpoints and your experiences with ADHD and anxiety, cause I have both myself and want to know more about how others experience it
Colleen I’m the same way! My family always laughs at me when I try to explain to them that if I wake up before 9 that I feel so so nauseous.
I thought I was alone!!
With the morning thing, I, an ADHD human, cannot deal with mornings, and apparently its common with ADHD to have delayed sleep-phase syndrome which basically means my entire internal clock is shifted by several hours. I would LOVE for the world to just be like 10-7 instead of 8-5 but alas that is not how the rest of the world works
edit: WAIT I ALSO CANNOT STAND BREAKFAST I cannot eat anything until at least 11am it just cannot happen
I wonder if its all ADHD related like nearly all of Colleens "oddities" are very relatable to me (aside from the dislike of stickers and stuff like that)
OMG I have ADHD and I absolutely cannot function until like 10 in the morning!! Whenever I travel overseas/go through a big time change I tend to do better when everyone else has jetlag. I didn't realize that was an ADHD thing, the sleep disorder.
After your kids grow up, you turn into morning people and I must say it’s the most peaceful amazing time of the day
As a Kentuckian, my heart was happy to hear Kentucky mentioned. It’s the little things.
Hi, I'm also a Kentuckian! When did they mention KY and how did I miss it?! 😂
LMAO the part about kids thinking they did cooler tricks than they actually did made think of Napolean Dynamite 🤣 "You got like five feet of air that time!" 🤣
