Erik feeling like September is the beginning of the year is like Colleen feeling like Christmas starts November 1st. Lol
Agreed lol lol 😁
😄 I totally disagree with Erik, but that's hilarious.
THIS!!! Hahaha perfect lol
I blame school for that honestly. Because school for a lot of kids/people starts September 1st (or around there)
@Nicole Van Herwynen yeah here in Michigan they start in September. Makes sense to me!
Please Colleen throw him a New Years 2024 party for his birthday that would be hilarious
ROFLMAO 😂😂😂😂 watch her actually do it
That would be so funny
As a teacher: September does feel like the beginning of the year, January is in the middle of the year, but has a new number.
Yesss! As a teacher I agree with Erik too 😂
As a student, I can also agree. I hadn't thought about it before, but makes sense. I wonder how I will feel about this once I start working tho.
As a September baby as well I agree for once with Eric lol
I am also a teacher and I feel the same. August-September is the beginning of the year and January is the middle 😂
As a student I agree
Colleen: “July” Erik: “4” C: “July isn’t 4..” E: “you’re right its 6”…. I laughed way too hard! July is month 7. 😂
Well, if Monday can be the second day of the week (which it is not), then July can be the sixth month of the year, sooo…. 😂
I cant wait for all of us wishing Eric „happy new year“ on September 1st
hahahaha
We have to remember to do it!! 😂
Set in my calendar, ready to go we are gonna spam Erik with new years wishes lol
That's called bullying and it's not nice.
Everyone agreeing with Erik on September being the beginning of the year is going to send Colleen Into a frenzy 🤣🤣🤣
I actually have also always felt that the year starts in September and that the new year thing in January is just symbolic and a tradition. Summer has always been like the "weekend of the year" for me and September is the start of another more productive season
Yessssss
me too!
Yes! I am from Argentina, and the southern hemisphere I think have a better structure of thr year because we have out long school summer breaks December, and we feel very much the year is ending. I have recently moven to Europe and the academic year starting in September is quite strange to start a semester in Sept.! Love the podcast!
I know that January is technically the first month of the year. But I have always felt that because of the academic calendar that September was. After the summer, the year starts. Just a holdover from when I was in school I’m sure.
Yes I can see that but it’s not how it works… lol
This made me irrationally angry 🤣 like Eric is saying he KNOWS the actual year starts in January but it FEELS like It starts in September because of the school year which is like how we all grew up
**most people in the US anyways, not the rest of the world haha!
Coleen and Erik save their fights for the podcast I swear lmao
I doubt it.
Wait until the kids attend school, Colleen will probably be agreeing with Erik, 😂. School rules the entire household’s schedule!
This. YES! 😂
Yes! When I say “last year” I mean in school years. Lol
It’s crazy that in America schools start in august or September. I live in Australia and school starts at the end of January or the start of February. I think that January is definitely the start the year and that instead of changing the start of the year to September they should start it in January like Australia. It makes lots more sense.
Colleen I think Erik just means that January is the first month of the year but to him September is when the year begins. How we measure time is literally a human made concept, there’s no right or wrong on this topic.
Yes agreed, especially where you grew up and there’s seasons! The weather is always the same in most of California
People OMG they know this. That’s is LITERALLY a bit. They are just over doing a banter
RELAAAAAX
I don’t know why but Erik is so right that the year starts in September. There’s no explanation, it just feels right
Can I just also say pertaining to the alien subject you can’t take a perfect picture of the moon or a firework anything in the sky turns out like you took it on a potato just saying
Erik is totally right, because as kids, the place we learn these structures, is school. therefore Sundays make me sad. Mondays are the start of the week and January IS in the middle fo the year.
you need psychiatric help
Yup I agree with Eric
Colleen is talking like January being the first month of the year is a scientific fact such as the sky is blue lol. It’s just the calendar we follow, which is man made like all others. Different cultures have new years in different dates, it’s a really arbitrary thing so I totally get Erik. In Brazil is common to say we don’t feel like the year has started until after carnival celebrations (which occur in February, sometimes March).
Yes, like her trying to stress that it was a FACT was the part that bothered me the most because it is not a FACT, it is a social structure.
well if u live in america the first month of the year is january. hence the new year is celebrated january 1st.
Happy carnival!
Dude when Erik mentioned the Mayan calendar, i was like EXACTLY!!! I wish he could have stick to that a lil bit. I think he just gave up lol
This is completely off topic, but I just learned that Brazil lets their prisoners take holidays and vacations!?!? Is this really true?
40:05 Erik’s “you know they’re called uniforms” got me CACKLING he’s so effortlessly hilarious
The entire “when the year starts” conversation amuses me because I’m Jewish and Rosh Hashanah (Jewish new year) tends to fall in September around my birthday. I have to say… I’m inclined to agree with Erik. September does give beginning vibes 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing. 💗
So I have a ? For you then… I’m very uneducated on the Jewish culture. Do u celebrate the Jewish new year and the dec 31 new year too? Or is it like Hanukkah and Christmas? I hope this makes sense and I’m not offending u by asking. I’m genuinely curious
@@cleosworld9096 totally okay to ask! So Jewish New Years is a New Years by the Jewish lunar calendar and it’s celebrating the new year and has a lot of focus on self reflection and self betterment. There are a lot of cultural foods eaten and you spend time with family and observant Jews would go to synagogue and pray. When it comes to the secular New Years (Dec 31- Jan 1) a lot of Jews will celebrate like anyone else does because it’s a fun to-do but there are a handful of Jews that don’t care or celebrate particularly. It comes down to personal preference. I will say I appreciate Rosh Hashanah more because there is so much introspection, mindfulness, tradition involved. Whereas in January people just kinda have superficial celebrations to watch the ball drop and not much else. Also, it’s cold and dreary and resolutions made in January are almost a joke where people know they won’t actually change😂😂
Edit:
There are a lot of Jewish communities where not celebrating secular New Years is VERY common. It really depends. My family is from the former USSR so secular New Years is a big thing by my relatives party/celebration wise. My fiancé brought to my attention that it’s more common to not celebrate in other communities.
Same
Thank you so much for adding this!
As a grad student in my 17th year of being in school I completely agree with Erik that whenever the school year starts is when it feels like a new year begins, but I also picture the months of the year vertically with January at the top…
i totally get how Eric sees the year starting in September. i feel like because of school September feels more like the start of the year rather than January for me. in January you’re already half way in the school year so much new is happening but September you’re starting a new school year and starting something new so it feels like the beginning.
ikr lmaoooo like obviously January is the first month but because of our schedules, the new year feels like September. colleen is acting like were arguing with a fact when literally no one ever said that September is the first month. that's just how some people visualize it because of their schedules
Exactly! Colleen keeps bringing up the calendar and how January is the first month on it because that how her brain sees it..however there are also school calendars (depending on your district) and those calendars start on September or August. I’m gonna have to agree with Erik on this one.
….also. Notice that whenever you buy an agenda the page always start off the month with August or September of the previous year, not January?
@@jazlynmedina3264 your right!! And I am a firm believer that Sunday is the first day of the week, but on a lot of those planners, the week starts with Monday, but it’s because those planners are made for students a lot of the time! Hahahaha
erik explaining how he feels like september is the beginning of the year makes me feel like i’m not crazy. because i have gone through my life feeling like august is the beginning of the year because that was the beginning of the school year. thank you erik for making me feel less insane 😂
Awwww, I felt kinda bad for Erik during the first of the year part. He was only saying how he felt and for kids who go to school and aren’t homeschooled, it’s really relatable because it’s a part of how you grow up…that’s all
Colleen said she understood if that’s how he felt, Erik just absolutely refused to admit that January is the first of the month factually. 😂 he’s so stubborn (playfully). Haha
homeschoolers have a normal school schedule too y'know 😭 we dont just get to take summer break in the middle of march or anything, most of us follow the regular two-semester schedule
@@eselcool3720 I was homeschooled until grade 6 so I understand both sides :) when I went to public school, my dad would buy new clothes, backpacks, lunches… everything new for the whole year to come. I’m sorry if I made homeschoolers feel excluded!
@@jujulayne lmao ERIK is stubborn? Colleen is the one who wouldn't let this go
@@Gohappygirl sigh. Idk why so many Colleen haters are on her podcast video. If you watch the video, Colleen clearly communicates that she just needs Erik to admit that January is in fact the start of the year. She shares that she understands that he FEELS that Sept is the start of the year, but she wants that common ground and understanding on January. Erik doesn’t acknowledge the question with a yes or no answer. He just repeats that he feels like it is. And Colleen understands that. Hence why Erik was being stubborn (playfully). This is a podcast. If y’all don’t like her, y’all can stop watching. If y’all are fans of Erik, I’m sure he wouldn’t like how y’all treat Colleen. I feel bad for them.
The Persian calendar actually starts on the first day of spring which I love and makes a lot of sense to me because spring everything wakes up and comes back to life!
This makes so much sense! I hate winter being at the beginning and end of the year… there should be a clean break.
Rip to colleen when she sees everyone agreeing with erik🤣😭
Frrrrrr I thought everyone would be agreeing with her
she’s always so confident and erik always gives in 😂 justice for erik
I don’t lol
Honestly I think bc Colleen was homeschooled or grew up in a state where there are no seasons it would be hard for her to understand Erik’s logic but I’ve always felt this way about September as well, when summer ends it’s back to school and then the colder weather starts.
Can I just say that Erik’s feeling that his year starts in September makes sense to me because each September your whole routine would change, friends would change, classes would change, so it feels like a new beginning! I totally get it. Summer feels like the ending of a chapter and then a new chapter begins! His birthday being in September also adds to that for him
Erik is really living his life following a school year schedule 😂
Erik begging Colleen to bring it all down a notch with the over the top celebrations and just let him watch a football game was funny, but also sad.
Yep, I love Colleen to the moon and back, but I feel like maybe she should also take his opinion on how she is planning to celebrate. Of course the opinion we have it's only based on a weekly conversation they have on camera, but still...
I also love colleen but it’s obvious 😅that erik might not always want the whole family and over for a game that more than half the people there don’t care about…if she loves celebrating so much she could’ve just made 2 different celebration 😅
The funny thing is that I used to think September was the first month so I agree with Erik
Calendars, Weeks, Dates, Time --- are all social constructs. It IS NOT scientific fact, Colleen - it's social construct. While I agree it's WILD that he feels September is the first of the year (even though I can kind of get it bc school starts then), he's absolutely right that it is not scientific fact.
Colleen! Why didn’t you talk to Eric before inviting a bunch of people over for a Super Bowl party? I can’t imagine doing that to my husband and if he did that to me I’d be so confused because it’s my house too. This blows my mind. He is so easy going but I feel like it’s common sense to talk to your partner first.
Yah that was wild to me.
Well it seems like they’ve had Super Bowl parties in the past so I’m guessing he assumed they were having another party that year without them formally discussing it
We cant throw around the term 'narcissist' in a debate about months, please. Him expressing how the year feels to him is not narcisisstic in any way - it really worries me that we think we can use that word to insult people, instead of people using it to communicate that theyre in abusive/manipulative situations.
“September doesn’t even have a holiday!” Colleen.
Labor Day leaves the chat 😂 Labor Day always marked the start of school for me.
Erik brings up so many great topics (eg aliens etc) and any time he opens a discussion, Colleen shuts it down with a ‘black & white’ or ‘yes/no’ view of the topic. I love how Erik tries to bring a colour spectrum to discussion and challenges thought-processes and our perceptions with hypothetical scenarios and fresh viewpoints. I’d love if he was given the chance to delve deeper into topics without being told ‘no, you’re wrong’ or ‘that’s boring’. He’s highly intelligent and absolutely riveting to listen to! Let him flourish 🌈
This
We don’t know how they talk off camera, but I agree that on camera she usually shuts his ideas down. Even if he’s objectively wrong. 😂 I’m a fan of her and if she sees this comment it’s fine. 😂 love you Colleen 😂
It’s so frustrating to watch. I feel like they should hire a therapist to referee the conversation.
My husband does that too and I’m more black and white lol
It's called having opinions? Y'all are too much they are literally married, I'm sure they're fine and it's supposed to be entertaining so...
I’m siding with Erik here, that’s how I felt growing up because of school. January was “middle of the year” because of winter break and then the second half of the year began. 😂
I understand Colleen means well and she's very fascinated by how her brain works vs Erik's. But calling crazy anything Erik says when is just very different than her is very confusing. Most of the things she says make no sense to me but I'd never call her crazy. 🤷🏼♀️
P.S. I know the year starts in January, yet I do my new year resolution in March because that's when my birthday is.
I always say my new year starts on my birthday, so I realy dont care about new years eve and stuff 😜
I honestly don't understand how Collen doesn't want to accepts Erik's logic on September being the first month of the year,because I can understand and get behind the idea because its when school starts and for me aswell that's when school started and new year of school new classmates and everything feels new soo I can understand his logic 😂
Colleen referring to football uniforms as costumes is sooo funny LMAO
In Erik’s defense, his life started on a day in September, sooo TECHNICALLY in his life, a new year of his life has started, it is the first month of a new year of him living
Erik feeling sick when he found out valentines was being celebrated on Super Bowl is the equivalent I feel when I see a Christmas movie on outside of the month of December. It just feels so off. 😂
I love them, but sometimes it aggravates me so much that Colleen will just not let things go and agree that not everyone sees things the way she does. I totally agree with Eric and EVERYONE has different feelings and sees things differently. Let it go ugh
fr erik is so patient 😭
they’re literally joking around 😂 y’all gotta chill it is not that serious
@@swiftiemaddiebut it happens EVERY time..colleen is relentless. Only listening for Erik at this point.
Everyone always complains yet no one follows their own advice and lets it go, omg.. its a funny discussion as always and its funny she is not being mean
Why does Colleen initiate an “open-minded” conversation about how different brains perceive the year, then proceed to invalidate her husband’s brain’s perception of the year?
I also feel like the year begins in September but I'm a teacher. Also Colleen, different cultures have different new years so not every culture begins their year in January.
Same! 😂
The first month of the year has also changed throughout history. January is just the current fashion in the US.
She said 'in America' multiple times, so she knows that.
@@k.239 Do you realize that Jewish people live in the United States, and per their traditions the year starts in September? There are many cultures in the US that don’t start the year in January.
I love Colleen but idk it kinda rubbed me the wrong way when she was low-key mocking the way Eric conceptualizes his years. He is right. Time is just a concept, as is are calendars. She was using the wrong metaphors (in kind of a mocky/snarky way) and I felt like she was trying to make Eric look stupid for the way his brain thinks…
with that being said, Sunday IS the first day of the week
Colleen: How do you see the year?
Erik: This is how I see the year, and here is precisely why it makes sense in my brain.
Colleen: HOW DARE YOU SEE THE YEAR THAT WAY DONT YOU KNOW IT STARTS IN JANUARY THIS IS THE MOST PREPOSTEROUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE THE FACTS [repeats the same invalid argument points several times while disregarding everything erik says]
Like you just asked him for his mind's eye interpretation of the year... he gave it to you... why should his be any less valid than a line or a circle or whatever
This
As Eric has said, it is HIS truth. He explained it well.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Same conversation for order of months we’ve heard 5 times already.
I’ve been waiting all week for the video version of this episode to come out so I can say that I agree with Erik on every single topic of today’s podcast.
I’ve never known how to explain how I picture things in my head until he just said it! So thank you Erik
It literally IS a difference of opinion when the year starts. Different cultures measure with seasons, the moon, and more! While it is not an opinion that January is the first month in the Gregorian calendar, everyone around the world has a different concept of when the “new year” is.
i agree that September feels like the first month of the year, colleen was so confident he was crazy. lol
Listening to Erick tell that story is so calming.
In my mind, Mondays are also first day of the week❤
And there are some calendars that start with Monday Colleen is psycho.
For the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Hashanah (the mark of the new year) is in September so it really does depend on the culture. I relate as a student also feeling like September is the beginning because of that but yes January is the first month in the Gregorian calendar that America and most other places use. Also, I see the months horizontally in 3 lines of 4
I love this podcast but I don’t know about how relaxing it actually is 😂 …Married couple therapy session! 😆
The “relax” is sarcastic .... they explained it in first episode. It’s the song that makes it confusing, they def should change it.
I wish colleen would just acknowledge and validate how Erik feels instead of always freaking out because he doesn't agree with her. I'm with Erik on Monday being the first day of the week and the year feeling like it starts in September... maybe it's cause colleen was homeschooled that she can't grasp the concept of others having different opinions
Colleen does her make-up everyday but doesn't need to
Yeah I think the homeschooling and living in the same season all the time in California is different from having seasons and going to school for eight hours five days a week starting in September-June
Yes she needs some work on understanding that I there have different opinions and that’s ok 🙃. She should grasp this sooner than later until she makes her children feel like they constantly have to agree with her.
Colleen was only homeschooled for 18 months of her life. The naive unworldly virgin is just part of her online persona.
I'm very sure she is aware that other opinions exists... she just stands for her opinion and they're discussing😭 y'all are trying to analyze way too hard
I understand how Erik sees the year starting in September. You go the first at least 13 years of your life in school so I can see how your year correlates with the school year!
not really the first 13 years since its starts at five
I completely agree LMAOO
@namegirl12 lol I meant like 5-18 which is 13 years woops
Omg I completely zoned out when Colleen was explaining tit for tat 😂
The entire podcast:
Erik says anything
Colleen calls him crazy, or an idiot, or psycho, etc
Done.
This is every episode.
@@Fearbird where's the lie
Or a narcissist. Which he clearly is not.
Omg, they are just having fun! She does not mean it 😂 do you guys never talk like that with anybody in your life? It's just fun 😆
@@alywilliams6918 when it's every single episode it's not fun anymore bro
When your kids start going to school the teachers talk about the year as in the school year from August-June. They'll say "next year" when referring to September of the new school year, although it's within the same fiscal year. So, I understand where Erik is coming from.
I desperately need Erik to make a podcast channel of him just reading us bedtime stories 🥱
Pleeeeeeaaaase 🙏
My favorite part of the -when the year begins- discussion is when Erik says “I’m telling you my truth” 😂 you 2 crack me up, love the podcast!! 🫶🏻
Colleen you have never seemed more a home schooled child ever 😂😂😂. I agree with Eric after growing up going to school the school year was a huge part of life for a very long time. Also Chinese new year falls different than the us but it's accepted in a lot of cultures. Edited to add the date of Chinese new year is February 10
That’s such a good point!
This!
Chinese New Year changes every year depending on the lunar calendar. So it even further proves the point that the idea of a ‘new year’ is so arbitrary
I totally went to public school. I think Erik is insane to think September is the beginning of the year. Note I am 51, and my kids are adults. So, school is in the past for me.
@@Juuleeuuh ohhh yes even better point
the way Erik and I are the same person lol.... visualizing the cat takes effort, reading without hearing a voice but can put one there, not seeing a visual calendar & I see both august and January as two separate starts of the year hahaha
“I’m so glad you feel that way” she cannot handle anyone having a different opinion than her. She’s literally fuming. 😭 37:59
Get a life 😂
LOL she is not "fuming" she is teasing him, just like most married couples/friends/siblings do
COLLEEN calling Erik narcissistic 😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Erik is so patient with her. I had to stop watching 😅 I’m glad I’m Australian and our school year starts at the end of January haha
Yes!!!!!
Colleen Colleen Colleen, lol! 🤣🤣 You should realize by now that Eric's views on some things are pretty popular among the podcast listners/watchers. Also, Julius Ceasar created the 12 month calandar, and January, being the 1st month of the year, is not a scientific fact, it is a man made idea that we follow as a western culture. March was originally the 1st month of the year. From Google 💜💜
Colleen, you thinking your logic is the only logic that is as correct as "the sky is blue" shows how little of an understanding you have for other people's thinking. By the way, you don't have to understand every little thing others feel, you just have to accept it. It doesn't harm anything that he thinks the beginning of the year is September. Accepting and Understanding are two different things. For me, the beginning of the year is April, because where I live, that's the beginning of the school year, and the fiscal year. A calendar is a repetitive things. Months loop around. The gregorian calendar is a part of your life structure. To some people, it has no affect on their life structure. You do you girl, be and let be.
Because she’s a narcissist
@@christinamedina9191 I was trying to make a point, not bad-mouth anyone.
you’re so right
This episode was a struggle to listen to miss know it all tonight. LOL poor Eric
THIS! And then the harping. Going on and on and on. That's harder then telling him he's wrong, he's crazy, he's insane etc is harder than just thinking it's wild and accepting it. That's much easier
I saw Colleen talk about Erik not asking her to be his valentine in the vlog, but I am shocked that she’s serious about this. 😂
Love how she completely took over his topic
Colleen…DROP IT
The first bit of today's episode was ngl exhausting ahahaha
Fair enough that Erik sees September as when the year starts. He's talking about a felt sense not making the claim that the number changes then. I would've literally been like 'huh fair enough!' and moved on.
Love you guys, I fall asleep to your podcasts but then always listen again when I'm awake to finish x
Ugh yes, I love Colleen but sometimes I get very frustrated with the way she handles disagreements like this. She just keeps it going
@@ashleya8187 I believe she does it for the podcast. To have a discussion and to better understand why his thoughts are just that his thoughts. This is just a podcast yall, you’re not really a fly on the wall in their relationship. They are laughing and just debating, it’s not that deep
I had to fast forward 30 minutes...my anxiety can't handle these endless convos that go in circles
@@KenziiThaBaddest Who took it deep? She literally said she gets frustrated with the way she handles disagreements like this...thats just a general statement.
@@michellenicole86 same. gave me a headache.
Erik's mental calendar is a school calendar where Monday is the beginning of the week and September is the beginning
Colleen doesnt get it because she was homeschooled - it all makes sense!!
i would be so mad if someone just invited a bunch of people over without telling me first 😭
Colleen, again just doesn't make herself look too good in this podcast.... I feel for erik
Then stop listening?
I agree with Erik here that you DO NOT celebrate anything else except the Super Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. It’s already a rollercoaster of emotions and a lot of alcohol. It’s not a Valentines Day party. It’s not! 😂 When I see Colleen throwing these parties I always wonder how Erik really feels about them and it’s nice to hear him speak up about this one in particular.
Agreed. Although I also enjoy the Puppy Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday.
Agreed! It’s a focused event lmao
How did you manage to flip this episode at the end? It’s incredible. I was getting so annoyed (best possible way, still enjoying) the whole year debate, and ufos and somehow ended up crying at the end with the book. Love you guys
Gah! The first half hour podcast was maddening! Colleen is arguing the year and months solely based on the GREGORIAN CALENDAR, and it’s not the only calendar is the world. (By her own admission, she acknowledges many European calendars are designed with the days of the week as Mon-Sun.) I wish Erik had said “Ever hear of Chinese NEW YEAR. NOT January 1st.” When the Earth completes one complete trip around the Sun, THAT is a year. Without a specific calendar, the beginning and end of that trip differs. Colleen’s “facts” are pretty ethnocentric.
Thank you!! Was thinking this also
well huh i wonder why, like its that so surprising ? big whoop someone goes by the calendar from where they are from and has a different reality than some, almost as if THAT’S LIFE.
@@sophiej9346seriously everyone jsut always needs to find a way to make things more than they are
Lol relaxxxx it’s just couple banter
It's funny how you bring up that book, I'm a nurse, and my last shift a few nights ago, my coworker and I both said we felt like this situation was just like that book. My patient was 90, she was actively dying, it wasn't expected per say but wasn't necessarily unexpected, she was very lethargic, curled up on her side in bed sleeping all day, there would be brief moments, seconds long that she would open her eyes. Her son didn't leave her side, he'd hold her face in his hands, as she was there curled up sleeping and he'd rub her face with his thumb. She typically was stay asleep, but occasionally would open her eyes for a few seconds and just look back at him before closing her eyes again. She was at such peace, and he held her until her final moments and days including her last breath. She passed away on my shift, and I also had her the days prior as we knew it was getting close, but it truly felt like that book. It was so touching, truly a privilege to get to witness. ❤ Having witnessed that, countless times, it makes that book hit home for me even more.
I'm like Eric, lol. It never occurred to me to visualize a monthly calendar in my mind, lol.
Colleen the reason people don't take your side is bc your thinking is very rigid and you fighting about small things can get really annoying to listen to. And you trying to get Erik to admit something just so you can win. Take a chill pill and be more open to other ideas. There isn't always a right and wrong. People can think whatever they want
I thought FOR SURE that there would be no one agreeing that September is the beginning of the year because Colleen is OBVIOUSLY right. That being said, the beginning of the year is absolutely in the spring 🤣
I feel like for some people it is valid for the beginning of the year to be spring. It is technically the beginning of the year earth and nature-wise. That is when new life begins to grow with plants and most animals have their offspring or they hatch in spring. So if you truly believe that I could see why.
I totally agree! I came to the comments like Colleens factually correct about this and everyone will agree... Lol
100%
Thank you! Erik has a lot of die-hard supporters. Haha
Lmao
Yes if you go back to the Latin roots of the names of the month it does start in march!
Erik is absolutely right! September feels like the start of the year and January is right in the middle. Lol can't believe I'm not alone in that
you should rename this podcast because the bickering in every episode is exhausting to listen to
Colleen RELAX 😂 Erik makes a whole lot of sense here. You're not hearing him at all lol
Erik does have a very soothing voice
I AGREE WITH ERIK! Give your hubby a break girl, he has a right to have his own opinion and feelings.
Not the issue here kid.
I'm so, so sorry for my first EVER semi negative comment for Colleen and Eric. I absolutely love everything about you guys and your wee family and the bigger Ballinger family. But..... I ended up scrolling to around the 28min mark to miss the bickering over January, I just couldn't handle it. lol Love you guys!
I thought they would only talk about it for 5 minutes. As soon as I started skipping I was shocked it was almost 30 minutes of them chatting about it. I love them but that conversation I just couldn’t listen to it either 😅
They don't understand each other
Not too shabby, out of 105 episodes at least 2 episodes have been a complete train wreck-episode 105 being #2 💩
That book destroyed me when I read it at my baby shower. I can’t believe my babies are 18 and 20 and I cried all over again. Adore both of you. ♥️
Colleen calling Erik a narcissist then proceeding to berate him about days of the week and which month is the start of the year and also taking over the Super Bowl get together 🤨🤣🤣 Erik is so nice and patient and caring.

That's why they work together so well. Colleen is very high strung. Erik is not.
@@sugarsore Maybe for your entertainment. Idt Erik feels like "it works" so well. You can tell she pisses him off. She's just unashamedly obnoxious and he suppresses the irritation and stress.That's not healthy.
@@springboard1994 okayyy I see you acting like you know everything about someone's marriage based off a podcast purrr go off king
@@Gohappygirl then don’t
Wait till colleen finds out that the sun isn't even yellow/red/orange.
It's white
she’ll just tell you that you’re wrong and a psycho!
I lowkey agree with Erik here, september is basically the start of the year bc school does start in September
It's too funny how she keeps calling him narcissistic when she doesn't allow him to have his own opinion and twists up words and calls him crazy until he just gives up and agrees with her. And she can NEVER be wrong.
Not really true. They have a certain way of bantering with each other. They both seem to take turns being overly passionate and sometimes stubborn about their arguments depending on the topic, their moods, etc. She clearly doesn't seriously think that he is narcissistic. She raves about how Erik is selfless and so thoughtful. They are TEASING each other. All in good fun.
@@LM-mr3fd I believe the OP is calling out Colleen’s narcissism, not saying that Colleen actually believes he is.
Kinda rude, hope she deletes this comment
Yeah, OP is just a regular hater. Just watch another channel lovey
Why is this still being discussed? Please make it stop.
I do have to agree with Erik. School starts where I live in August so for me the "year" starts. Yes January is the 1st month of the year but it feels like the middle of the year.
Relating to the first conversation: The beginning and end of the year is not a fact, same with the first day of the week. It's just a cultural thing. Time is a social construct.
As soon as Erik told Colleen she was right, she became so much more willing to actually listen to erik. Yikes lol
Don’t project kid.
Us Persians celebrate the new year on the very first day of spring on March 20th. its the beginning of the year for us, and it kinda makes the most sense to me cause everything starts with spring(the flowers bloom,....) and ends with winter.
but i loved how Colleen got sooo mad at Erik :))
LOVE YOU BOTH
i doubt anyone will ever see this comment -- but just in case. my mom was diagnosed with cancer my sophomore year of college. she read “love you forever” to me all the time since i was little. so it was 2018 when i got “love you forever, like you for always, longer than i’m living, my baby you’ll be” tattooed in her handwriting. cannot lie, i sobbed hysterically while erik read it. thank you. sending so much love to you both always 💘
erik is right, time is just a made up concept, so who cares how you view it in your mind?
Honestly….. the most frustrating thing about the “Month” and “day of the week” debate is that Colleen just WONT let Erik just FEEL HOW HE FEELS….. it isn’t that big of a deal. People can feel however the heck they want to feel….. it isn’t always necessary to always have to PROVE him wrong, you know? Because honestly, I fully understand how Erik feels the way he does. ESPECIALLY the first day of the week. Sunday may be the first day on the calendar week, but I personally feel like Monday is ACTUALLY the first day of every week and Sunday, the last.
Colleen RELAX! 😂 I felt attacked because I agree with Erik about the start of the week and the start or the year, so it was like you're arguing with me and I don't like being called narcisistic and crazy for no reason 😅
Erik's Being Supportive As Always Even Though He Don't Always Agree lol🤣
Colleen should do the same
She is the opposite lmao
It’s a square box, December in the upper left corner followed by January and February. The right side are the three months of spring, summer on the bottom and fall on the left side. Although for some reason the top and bottom are slightly shorter lines across so it’s more like a rectangle. Maybe because I am always hoping winter is over fast and summer is never long enough.
Colleen needs to remember that the Gregorian calendar isn't the only calendar in existence, let alone the "correct" one. Other, much older cultures do exist. I understand saying "this is the calendar I follow" but be careful saying "this is the scientific, correct one, said by everyone." It's not.
👏👏👏
And with just a quick google search I learned the March used to be the first month of the year (according to the Roman calendar), but was then changed to January in 154 BCE.
The power or knowledge.
