I LOLed when you all switched to see the shirt the correct way and then said “let’s switch back to our normal sides”. And then switched back to the wrong side of a typical Relax episode
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!! If you look at the last like 20 thumbnails on their RUclips page they’re like all the opposite of this one it’s so funny
Colleen!!! Showing the photos to the wrong camera! To be fair it was kind of hilarious because she even edited it knowing we couldn’t see them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There’s truly nothing like diving into a part of your significant others life that you weren’t apart of. Like their childhood. It’s so precious and I cry looking at my husbands baby pictures EVERY TIME.
I so agree that Maisy and Flynn look like Erik, but Wesley with his big eyes and curly hair, and even his smile is 100% Colleen. Just blonde and blue eyed.
Colleen! I did TMS for my ADHD and it was a game changer! You should look into it! For the first time in my life, my mind quieted down and I was able to have only one or two thoughts in my head at once, instead of fifteen.
55:05 such a bittersweet feeling. During Covid my poppy passed away, when he did my grandma moved their whole house into a storage locker and moved in with my aunt so she wasn't alone. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and was faced with the fact that she might not have much time left so she wanted to finally clear out the locker and go through everything. My parents and my sister and I helped her go through every box and bin and bag of things- and inside one box was all the artwork me and all my siblings, as well as my cousins gave her throughout the years. I was literally sobbing at the idea that they kept and cherished these scribbles and scraps we made for them, some of them 30+ years old. There was one that particularly had me so emotional just because of what I wrote. I don't have it here so I don't have exactly what it said but something like : "My name is Samantha; and I love my grandparents. I miss them so much because they moved away and I don't see them every day anymore. But it's okay because I know I will see them again, until then I will cry. I might even cry right now. I love them. Love Samie" I was about 8 years old. So cute and sad and still so true. I love my grandparents very much. I miss my poppy a ton, but also I miss my grandma already - every time I leave her. It's been tough. Until I see them again, I will cry. I might even cry now thinking of it.
My fiancé has ADHD and a birth defect that makes the ADHD symptoms (hyperactivity, learning deficits, distractibility, etc..) worse than "usual." After trying literally everything for ADHD and nothing working, he started doing neurofeedback at age 14 and it has radically changed his life. He is now able to sleep through the night every night, get good grades in his classes, focus and be detail-oriented all day at work, etc.. Originally, he was receiving neuro every week but now, he only receives neuro once every sixth months or so as a "tune up." He is now studying psychology so he can be a neurofeedback therapist and help other people in the same way! It's an incredible, miraculous medical intervention for people with all sorts of diagnoses, and I think it'll be great for you!
Seeing this now after the emotions of dealing with the election results was so needed… the dramatic poem reading was the first time I’ve laughed since Tuesday night
After the past couple of days, this episode was a great escape. Thank you to Erik for sharing the box with all of us. This was so much fun. I love you guys so much. This is my favorite thing to watch on RUclips. You two are great people.
Cry laughing throughout 😂 From grandma and grandpa in love to Abraham’s grisly demise I loved this so much! Saving it in my antidepressants folder along with the one where Erik talks about Jesus’ resurrection. I needed this like whoa after the election results. Y’all are the best ❤❤
i saw the carrot shirt in your last vlog and was waiting for eriks reaction 😂 it was basically “who made this?” lol be loud and proud about being carrot erik!! 🥕
Loved this episode. Watching Colleen light up to Erik’s old stuff was priceless. I think I cried when you cried listening to what Erik wrote. Omg! But Erik I hated school too! 😂
Is anyone else so sad that we didn’t get to see Erik’s first car or baseball picture?? Colleen you put them in front of the center camera but our view was your close up camera 😭 please show them next week!
Electro shock therapy is actually known as electroconvulsive therapy or ECT. It’s actually still in use and can be absolutely life saving for people who suffer from major depression who are resistant to other treatment. There is a huge stigma around it still. It really saved my nans life so please be careful talking about things like this.
Kellogg Frosted Flakes had a mascot named Tony the Tiger back in the 1980-1990s according to my mom. Could that be where Erik got the name for his cat from?
guyyys melting all of my little hearts I love you two so much 😍 I hope I get to experience a love like that again in my lifetime.. Lost a couple along the way
my bf is the same way about talking about past relationships and I’m just like you Colleen. I don’t understand why guys are like this, I like maybe it’s past trauma from old partners getting mad/jealous lol but I’m just nosey and wanna know!!
Colleen, I'm the same way. Silence drives me mad. I've had panic attacks during exams when i was in school, because the silence doesn't let me think. I had to get a letter from my doctor to allow me to listen to music during exams
43:58 oh my god, you always say your kids look so much like Erik, and the photos you show I don't always see it.... this one though.... wow that's Maisy + Flynn 100%
I have similar drawings when I was Erik's age. And we're close in age and both grew up on the East coast, so maybe it's a generational and regional thing.
My oldest son did youth football when he was in 5th grade. He was one of the last kids to get a uniform & the only one they had for him was like triple-plus his size. I’m talking HUGE! So the first game every time he ran, his pants fell. His jersey was like a giant dress that was to big on him. So the coaches duck taped him for the game..they literally duck taped his uniform. Not just organized duck taped. I mean wrapped all around him. Over and over. His jersey, his pants. I remember sitting on the side line crying, so embarrassed for him. Everyone else is looking great in their uniforms and here he is in one far too big, on top of duck taped in a ridiculous way. You could see it a mile away, crowds all looking at him.. people were laughing. I was hurt. How could they do that to my baby? I ALMOST pulled him out and quit because I was so angry and upset at them but I had just got on to him the first practice because he wanted to quit, he was my gaming, Star Wars, Lego kid. Wasn’t much of a sports kid. It wore him out! But I told him no, I wouldn’t let him quit, I said this is your first practice.. you can’t quit because it’s tough at the moment.. give it time. So what would I look like to him if I made him quit the first game? He seen it through, they got him another uniform and everything was good. Now he plays high school football, has dedicated every second of his time to it..from 9th to 11th now..almost 6ft tall, 240 pounds. Toughest guy I know. I ask him now how he felt about that duck tape situation and he laughs, says he wasn’t even embarrassed. He’s braver than me 😂 I would have NEVER showed my face again.
The fact that you can’t see that your kids looks so much like you Colleen is wild!! lol Flynn definitely has Eric’s eyes but they all look so much like your baby pics it’s crazy you don’t see it.
Colleen is so me. I wanna know it all with my fiances exs. Like why me? How am I different from the rest lol. No jealous here. But like sometimes I'm just like hmmmm... what's the catch here. Cause I know there were prettier girls
Ok had to pause and come say this... Colleen/Erik, I love you guys.... mason jars are not drinkware 😂 They are expensive like that because they have a purpose. Believe it or not people actually buy those bigger ones or the multipacks of them for what they're meant for, food storage. They're not expensive because they're "hipster vibe" drinkware 😘😘😘 I swear I'm saying all of this sarcastically with love!!!

I can’t handle Colleen showing Erik’s pictures to the wrong camera and we can’t see anything 😭😭😭
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Same! 😂
I think they edited that on purpose cuz when looking back at the episode Erik could’ve decided he didn’t want it to be shown lol
MEEEE TOOOOOOO - she needs to post it on Instagram now
I think they’re not showing them on purpose, maybe they changed their minds about sharing some of the photos!
I LOLed when you all switched to see the shirt the correct way and then said “let’s switch back to our normal sides”. And then switched back to the wrong side of a typical Relax episode
RIGHT! I was thinking: is it just me... or... is this NOT their normal sides?
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!! If you look at the last like 20 thumbnails on their RUclips page they’re like all the opposite of this one it’s so funny
Colleen!!! Showing the photos to the wrong camera! To be fair it was kind of hilarious because she even edited it knowing we couldn’t see them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
11:50 "ive looked at many maps, ive never looked at the map of a brain, but i can imagine yours is, uh, wonderful" Erik is such a gem 🥰
Ok now we need a segment “what we found in Erik’s box” for at least a month🤣
The poster of Rachel behind Erik saying “woman searches for where men get the audacity” is hilarious 😂
There’s truly nothing like diving into a part of your significant others life that you weren’t apart of. Like their childhood. It’s so precious and I cry looking at my husbands baby pictures EVERY TIME.
I so agree that Maisy and Flynn look like Erik, but Wesley with his big eyes and curly hair, and even his smile is 100% Colleen. Just blonde and blue eyed.
Thanks for lifting my spirits after this devastating day! Loved seeing how excited/happy Colleen was going through all of Erik’s old memories! ❤
I needed this episode so badly after the results this morning. Today has been a day. Thank you for posting. ❤️
I loved this! We need more of Erik’s box
Colleen! I did TMS for my ADHD and it was a game changer! You should look into it! For the first time in my life, my mind quieted down and I was able to have only one or two thoughts in my head at once, instead of fifteen.
holy crap that picture of erik is literally if you morphed all the kids into one person!
I cackled the entire podcast. Please do more of Erik's box.
erik's poem is EVERYTHING
Best episode!! Thank you Erik for sharing your childhood ❤

❤❤
That last drawing of Erik walking into a pole made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Laughed until my stomach muscles were sore! Needed a belly laugh today and loved it all!

Colleen you seem SO internally calm and relaxed during this episode! I can’t explain how I feel this but Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it! ❤
Omg I just realized I have my playback speed turned down!!! That’s why you’re talking so slowly 😂😂😂😂
Tony the Tiger from Frosted Flakes was big in commercials back then. So perhaps that is where Erik got the name back then. 😊
I love your chats, your relationship is inspiring ❤
After the past couple of days, this episode was a great escape. Thank you to Erik for sharing the box with all of us. This was so much fun. I love you guys so much. This is my favorite thing to watch on RUclips. You two are great people.
you could always use the mason jars to hold all your beautiful rocks!!! make a mason jar rock christmas tree!
Cry laughing throughout 😂 From grandma and grandpa in love to Abraham’s grisly demise I loved this so much! Saving it in my antidepressants folder along with the one where Erik talks about Jesus’ resurrection.

Colleen you better print this diary to a book and gift it to Erik, the drawings are just so cute and innocent😁😁
loveeed this episode and seeing into erik as a child
Kellogg Frosted Flakes had a mascot named Tony the Tiger back in the 1980-1990s according to my mom. Could that be where Erik got the name for his cat from?
Oh. I’m so old.
According to your mom lol. It's so funny that you don't know who Tony the Tiger is. I know it's because of your age. Have a good day.
“We’re married! We have three kids I wanna know more!” 😆♥️ I’m not the only wife who wants to know all the juicy details😄
The noir music was a perfect background to that poem.
Ugh! So sad. Needed this so much today. 💔
guyyys melting all of my little hearts I love you two so much 😍 I hope I get to experience a love like that again in my lifetime.. Lost a couple along the way
Absolutely love the Erik history ❤
haha the black and white moment was amazing lol
I was listening to this on my way to work at 6am and was dying hearing Colleen read the poem😂
my bf is the same way about talking about past relationships and I’m just like you Colleen. I don’t understand why guys are like this, I like maybe it’s past trauma from old partners getting mad/jealous lol but I’m just nosey and wanna know!!
I love you guys so much❤ always the best part of my Wednesday watching this podcast
My jaw quite literally dropped at Abraham Lincoln, also I giggled at the “I’m with carrot” shirt in Tuesdays vlog
I can't believe the twins are 3 Happy birthday sweeties❤
When you talked about your brain map I could see it being like candy land 😅 love it and love you!
The pictures in the background are so cute
I love this and I’m the same with sentimental things like this.
Ahhh that kills me that we couldn't see those pictures of Erik. It was so fun getting to dive into his Pandoras box.💛💜
Colleen, I'm the same way. Silence drives me mad. I've had panic attacks during exams when i was in school, because the silence doesn't let me think. I had to get a letter from my doctor to allow me to listen to music during exams
we have to know if colleen ended up reading more of erik's journals!!
Happy Birthday Maisy and Wesley!!!!
I had a TMNT camera back in the 90’s!!! lol Colleen trying to show us pictures but never cutting to that camera in edit 😂

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!!!😂😂😂😂❤❤absolutely amazing!!😂 P.S. my first car was also a red Volkswagen Fox👏🏻👏🏻
43:58 oh my god, you always say your kids look so much like Erik, and the photos you show I don't always see it.... this one though.... wow that's Maisy + Flynn 100%

That was fantastic.
I read One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.. sobbed at the end.. I did not know there was a movie. 😮
I love you guys!
ive never laughed this hard 😂😂😂58:03
I don’t like the camera angles.. I just wanna see you 2 together!! I love yall 💞💞
I have similar drawings when I was Erik's age. And we're close in age and both grew up on the East coast, so maybe it's a generational and regional thing.
Not the I Am poem!!! I did one of those too, in elementary school. Mine was “I am a friendly girl” 😅
Wrong cámara!! Im devastated 😂

I broke down at grandma and granddad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flynn looks just like Eric 😊
