Omg the whole parking meter story had me dying because Erik having an entire monologue prepared because he was caught in his lie is soo me when I try to come up with an excuse to get out of situations 😂
COLLEEN your song about you and Erik meeting as kids….gave me full body chills! I know it was short , but the intro chords brought tears to my eyes. It’s magical! You could put that in a movie.
In Erik's song, instead of saying “ Some day they’ll need people names” you could say “ And now they have people names to call if they run to far away, Maisy Joanne and Wesley Koy, My gorgeous girl and my sweet little boy” or something like that. You could play around with the words.
You can disable CALL WAITING through the phone settings. Also you can call your voicemail from a different phone to hear messages. You will need to set up a voicemail code to access it
I literally HAVE NEVER related so much to a podcast, my husband and I actually got into a small tiff today about the fact that I wanted to go to run my everyday errands alone (without him) especially since he has a lot of social interactions on the regular but I'm always with the kids and look forward to my hour ALONE so I can listen to podcasts or whatever without worrying about anyone else lol. So glad to know I'm not alone in this.
Omg wow ahaha Colleen REALLY had me in the first half of the song she wrote because I was like no wayyy she's saying this in front of Erik right now and then when she started singing the sleep part I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhh---- That was a fun experience lol.
For the beeping phone, try putting the phone on do not disturb when you answer a call and maybe that will silence the other calls and send them to voicemail
My RELAX for the week is expiration dates on food packaging…I can NEVER find them! Pick a place and stick to it. I always spend 20 mins looking for it 😫 Great opening song ERIK 👏👏👏 Love you guys ❤
@UC2I-8jv5QjD6E5ImX0tRFqQ I love the idea of “expectation dates” seems so much more flexible, like something is “expected” to go bad on a certain date, give it a good sniff and use ur own discretion lmao
Colleen!! I love that song! I feel like so many people can relate. When your so tired you want to fall into your beds warm embrace. Love it! Eric should get Colleen a ladybug necklace or bracelet or something. Very sweet
I love that Erik got a tattoo for your family! Here in the Netherlands a ladybug symbolises standing up against bullying and senseless violence. On school yards all over the country you can find tiles with a ladybug to encourage children to stand up against all of this
Well done on the intro Erik. I’ve been with my husband for almost 21 years, and we do things alone all the time. I couldn’t imagine not having alone time. You two are so freakin cute. 💚💚💚
I’m a new Tattoo artist myself, and I absolutely love hearing how much a tattoo can mean. I’ve been explaining to lots of my clients that the simplest, smallest of tattoos can mean the world to someone. Which is why I’m always dedicated to making sure I do the best work I possibly can, always.💕
I relate to Erik on the turning down or off the music when driving. Especially if I'm parking the car or just other times needing to be very focused, glad I'm not alone in this lmao
Lmao 😂 I came to this realization while Colleen was reading the ad about Erik getting a physical and he coughed 😂 idk if it was on purpose lol but Colleen didn’t pick up on it at all Colleen is like the Disney movies we all grew up watching, so innocent and a little bit naive. Whereas Erik is the hidden sexual innuendo’s we have all come to notice that are in the Disney movies 😂
Pleaseeee Colleen!!! We need a cd with all your songs and Erik's. Pleaseee I love listening to all yall create. Make this happen pleaeeeee!!! Love you guys 💜
I relate to Erik because I go to the movies and to lunch by myself (and ofc the walking) all the time but there are people who I know that definitely think that's weird to the point they feel bad for me. That's why I'm really glad there are people out there who don't see it as weird because it's something that I am comfortable with doing.
1) this podcast video initiated the most nostalgia ever and all the days. 2) as a kid, my siblings, cousins and I would always make “potions” in my grandparents bathroom. It got to the point where my grandmother would stock the cabinets with baby powder, lotion, shampoo, baby oil, etc all acquired from the dollar store. It was the most fun ever. 3) Spit is the best game on the planet and I love to kick some major butt.
The two of you are so wildly talented. Any time you sing songs, especially ones you pen yourselves, it's so magical. I hope someday when you have more bandwidth, you give it more of a go. I'd love to listen.
I can relate to Eriks relax. I do things by myself and my husband does things by himself and then we do things together. It’s healthy, it’s relaxing and sometimes we do things we love together and sometimes apart. I recommend it.
If you and Erik made an Album I would %1000 buy it! Your songs make me so happy and make me feel all the feels and I just want to listen to them on a playlist please 😩
Thank you Erik!!! I do everything alone and I'm going on my first solo vacation out of the country in two weeks. So many people have made comments about how lonely that must be, but I'm so excited to do this for the first time.
I love that Erik got a Lady Bug tattoo. Your little girl fought to just breath and now on your vlogs she looks so healthy and so happy. Her laugh is so amazing. She has had a long journey in her little life.
On the “doing things alone” topic, i’ve always wanted to be that person who did things alike in public like shopping or going to eat since i usually never have someone to go with and enjoy being alone at home. This week I went to my mall and shopped and then ate alone and it was a little nerve racking but I loved it! It’s definitely nice to just be with yourself and not have to worry about pleasing the other person, carrying on a conversation, etc. It needs to be normalized rather than seen as weird of you are alone in public spaces.
I love Colleen and Erik's songs! It would be so awesome if they put out an album with a bunch of these songs that they've sang on the podcast. Grilled Cheese and Applesause, Erik's song for the twins, Things That Made My Toddler Cry, new one about missing sleep, etc.
i totally agree w/erik .people definitely wont go out to dinner alone especially.. i enjoy it..my daughter 25 takes a weekends trip alone often & just whatever she makes it a point to do things alone ,and i think thats awesome
@@silentmozart Sooo good. I just added some banana cream instant pudding into my frosting instead of making a two layer cake with pudding between the layers (like it shows on the back of the box) and omg YUM. I love banana more than most people to be fair lol
Haha normalize doing things alone! YES ERIK! Yesss. I was literally at the New Haven show yesterday by myself! And always go to concerts alone if it’s a favorite band and I just want to sing and not talk to anyone. Love you guys.
Going to the movies by myself is my favorite thing on the planet. I can eat all the popcorn I want and don’t have to worry about the person I’m with talking 😂💛 because talking during movies NEEDS TO RELAX
I loooove Erik's relax for this episode. I enjoy being in my own little world. I definitely feel like people look at me weird for being out on my own. I sometimes wonder if it's because I'm a girl and maybe that's worrying for people that I'm alone. I don't know. But I love being in a coffee shop looking out the window, feeling like a main character 😌 The worst thing is when someone points out that I'm alone or asks me if someone is coming to join me and bursts my bubble. It makes me feel self-conscious.
I went to the Miranda show in Toronto by myself and I found It was very empowering and encouraging. I have never been alone on the train before, let alone in such a large place filled with so many people. It was also very special because it was my first big thing I did since covid started and I felt like my world was a little more normal.
This was one my favorite podcasts!! i love the song about little Erik and Littile Colleen!! I really want you guys to make that a full song!! i love it!!!
Erik's relax was a disagreement I used to have with my dad. When my children were little and I was a stay at home mom without a car, I would get child care one day a week and take the bus into the city and just wander around, take myself out to lunch, window shop - it was refreshing. When my dad heard I had eaten at a restaurant by myself he was horrified. He couldn't imagine anything worse. He was a very gregarious person. He really liked being with others 90% of the time. I'm a little different...
Lunch by myself is wonderful! I read a book, listen to a podcast, it is a time of refreshment, RELAXation, and very restorative! Any meal can be that way for me!
I love the intro that Erik and you performed for this week’s podcast episode! 💗 And Colleen, your song about Sleep was incredible! You are both so talented. 💞
Honestly nothing relaxes me more than this podcast. I have to say like I always feel that your little discussions are never serious fights, I think you are a role model couple although you probably would be even better with more sleep :) Thanks also to Erik for sharing the vague idea behind his ladybug tattoo. I just got my first tattoo and it also means more to me than it might be visible to others when you look at it, so I really understand. And once again I need to plead: PLEASE make an album of your podcast songs some day, they are all so amazing and I would love a quality record of them, maybe your kids would value that too when they get older! That "playhouse" song would be oh so much for my heart to handle
I LOVE to be alone. I also love confortable silence & other people who also like confortable silence. My favorite thing is hanging out with someone doing separate things & sometimes having conversation.
First of, I love you both! Second, I agree with both of you about the doing things alone topic. I understand you, Erik, because I stress that people look at me as lonely or that I don’t have friends to do things with so I always feel like somebody has to be with me. I also agree with you, Colleen, because I also struggle with being alone with my brain. It’s really hard to silence the negative thoughts in my brain that constantly reel when I’m alone.
Erik singing the intro was fabulous...The girl in the last phone call was such a pleasure... I wish they had spoken to her longer. That will be so fun to listen to a whole episode of calls!!!! That's ridiculous that y'all were spoken to or whatever it was re: talking about poop.... It's freaking entertaining man and it's YOUR podcast--you should feel free to talk about whatever shit you want haha 💜💜 love you guys!!
I loved Eric‘s intro and the stories about the tattoos, I would LOVE to hear more about them! The little ladybug🐞is so cute! And OMG Colleen‘s song!! Sooo beautiful and funny, this is so perfect and we NEED an album, I will 100% listen to it!🥹 Edit: I‘m on the same antibiotic as you right now and many doctors and pharmacists have told me to wait 2-3 hours with eating after taking the pill, absolutely no milk products and also to stay out of the sun as much as possible. ❤️ Love you. ❤️
i totally agree with Erik's relax because I am 1 and I loveeeee my own company and sometimes when I tell people that I'm going on a date by myself, they laugh because they think it's weird or whatever. Also, I found out soo much about myself by doing things alone. I think most introverts will agree :))
I been alone for over a year to heal from my moms passing a couple years ago. I ended a lot of friendship and I been on my own. I went to a concert alone, I go basically everywhere on my own and I’m so use to it. I have social anxiety too so it’s helped me a lot.
I've been listening on Spotify to your podcasts while going for my morning walks and it is THE BEST!! Except...I find myself giggling TO myself and strangers have for sure looked at me like I'm crazy haha. Love you two!!
When I was 13 I was so excited to see a particular movie that had just come out but none of my friends were free to come with me. I went by myself totally oblivious to the social norms, and I remember people staring at me as I sat and enjoyed the movie which is the only reason I started feeling self conscious. I never went alone to do things I enjoyed again until I was much much older and am now so happy in my own company again.
I so agree with erik! I have some pretty awful social anxiety so the thought of doing things alone does make me nervous, BUT I also really like being alone. Last summer I had no one to see black widow with so I went by myself. It was the first time I had ever gone to a movie alone but I actually had a really lovely time. So much so that I went and saw it again a few days later by myself!!! Then later that summer I was going to see a friend perform in a concert. I had no one to go with so I decided to make it a little date for myself. I went got dinner at a restaurant I had been really wanting to try, and then I went to the show. I ended up sitting with these super nice people and it was so fun. So yeah not sure why I am sharing all of this, but doing things alone can definitely be really fun.
I love this room omg 😭 The other home room is nostalgic, cute, and holds so many memories but THIS screams elevation and you guys bring the other characteristics and more INTO this room/home + more freshness and it’s giving growth. Idk if it sounds right but basically you guys made the vibe regardless of the shelter. I love it 💕🫶🏽🥰
Loved the podcast! My RELAX for the week is band-aids.. more specifically band-aids that keep falling off every time I shower or wash my hands. Ahhh. Sending love from Australia 💖🇦🇺
I grew up the fourth child of nine, very curious kids. We totally used to make concoctions out of whatever we could find in the bathroom. We would usually hide it behind the curtain in the window sill of the bathroom and my mom would eventually find it when it began to get moldy and smell bad. Good times! We also did the same thing outside with mud and a variety of foliage. We made many mud pies and soups that smelled especially bad while decomposing. My poor mom. 😂
One of my favourite activities is seeing a movie alone and people judge me about it all the time. They’re like really you go alone? That’s so weird! But like I love it, to me it’s a very cathartic experience
iPhones have this amazing feature, that I use when I sleep because my classmates (going into my final term of becoming an animal nurse) like to text really late about class work and such, it’s called do not disturb. You can set it for really any amount of time. Just search for it in the settings, or pull down from the right corner of the screen (in the same place you can turn on your flashlight when your phone is unlocked) and select the icon that says “focus”! This will help so much! No more beeping or phone ringing off the hook unless you want it to.
Pausing 5 minutes in to say THANK YOU about the doing stuff alone thing. As a single 27 year old lady (whose friends are LITERALLY all married or living in a different city or otherwise incredibly busy) I find myself doing stuff alone all the time. I even took myself on a trip to another part of my country for a week to go Skydiving. And everywhere I went I was dining alone (I did meet up with a distant friend for one coffee during the whole week). It’s both empowering and frustrating for me. I love feeling like I can do these things on my own, buuuut I am often sad I don’t have anyone to just go do things with. This is making me sound like a sad loner, but I do actually spend a lot of time with my family and groups. It’s just more often than not, if I’m out, I’m alone. Let’s normalise it!
1) please please please finish the song about you two playing house. 2) the beeping is not too bad at all, answering the phone is so cute and its cool to hear the conversations. 3) the way Erik kept saying he defiantly isn't better then you was so cute
I love how Erik corrects Colleen every time she says something negative about herself or that she's bad at something. 💗
I love the intro with Erik singing
Definitely should keep it
I love it❤️❤️
I like the Other one better that’s just my opinion if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@therussianprincess it’s outdated. We are no longer stuck at home.
Eric is the MAN! I just saw her show in New Haven and the crowd went NUTS!!!! We all blew the roof off the place. I hope they know how loved they are.
Omg the whole parking meter story had me dying because Erik having an entire monologue prepared because he was caught in his lie is soo me when I try to come up with an excuse to get out of situations 😂
they’re hilarious 😭😭 and so relatable. i’m equally as socially awkward lmao

i love this 😭
Got chills
boost this awesome suggestion! 🫶🏻
Thnx sooo much u guysss..... this means alot cuz I've been trying for sooo longgg.. LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA❤❤❤
You can disable CALL WAITING through the phone settings. Also you can call your voicemail from a different phone to hear messages. You will need to set up a voicemail code to access it
This needs to be most liked comment
You guys definitely need a relax album with all these songs
Yes

“Any opportunity for you to touch me, I’ll take” I had to double take because my bf says the same thing to me. So cute. Makes me feel so loved.
I love that Erik got a tattoo for your family! Here in the Netherlands a ladybug symbolises standing up against bullying and senseless violence. On school yards all over the country you can find tiles with a ladybug to encourage children to stand up against all of this

I do this as well! 💗
Lmao 😂 I came to this realization while Colleen was reading the ad about Erik getting a physical and he coughed 😂 idk if it was on purpose lol but Colleen didn’t pick up on it at all
Colleen is like the Disney movies we all grew up watching, so innocent and a little bit naive.
Whereas Erik is the hidden sexual innuendo’s we have all come to notice that are in the Disney movies 😂
This sleep song was AMAZING you guys need to come out with an album
Erik talking about the lady bug tattoo gave me tears in my eyes and goosebumps. So special. Love you guys

1) this podcast video initiated the most nostalgia ever and all the days. 2) as a kid, my siblings, cousins and I would always make “potions” in my grandparents bathroom. It got to the point where my grandmother would stock the cabinets with baby powder, lotion, shampoo, baby oil, etc all acquired from the dollar store. It was the most fun ever. 3) Spit is the best game on the planet and I love to kick some major butt.
I love how supportive Erik is whenever you doubt yourself. I also love your songs.
I agree with Erik's Relax!!! I'm 39 years old & single I'm so used to being alone & doing EVERYTHING alone. I very much enjoy it.

Hi Colleen, I feel similar with not wanting to do things without other people. I have ADHD and body doubling is very helpful to get things done.

When I was 13 I was so excited to see a particular movie that had just come out but none of my friends were free to come with me. I went by myself totally oblivious to the social norms, and I remember people staring at me as I sat and enjoyed the movie which is the only reason I started feeling self conscious. I never went alone to do things I enjoyed again until I was much much older and am now so happy in my own company again.
I so agree with erik! I have some pretty awful social anxiety so the thought of doing things alone does make me nervous, BUT I also really like being alone. Last summer I had no one to see black widow with so I went by myself. It was the first time I had ever gone to a movie alone but I actually had a really lovely time. So much so that I went and saw it again a few days later by myself!!! Then later that summer I was going to see a friend perform in a concert. I had no one to go with so I decided to make it a little date for myself. I went got dinner at a restaurant I had been really wanting to try, and then I went to the show. I ended up sitting with these super nice people and it was so fun. So yeah not sure why I am sharing all of this, but doing things alone can definitely be really fun.
I love this room omg 😭 The other home room is nostalgic, cute, and holds so many memories but THIS screams elevation and you guys bring the other characteristics and more INTO this room/home + more freshness and it’s giving growth. Idk if it sounds right but basically you guys made the vibe regardless of the shelter. I love it 💕🫶🏽🥰
Erik was staring mad thirsty @ Colleen the whole time 😭🤣🤣
😂😂 I thought I was the only one noticing that.
Loved the podcast! My RELAX for the week is band-aids.. more specifically band-aids that keep falling off every time I shower or wash my hands. Ahhh. Sending love from Australia 💖🇦🇺
I loved this episode sooooo much, I got scared a bit with the beginning of the love song for sleep haha but same girl keep the song coming pleaseee
Colleen we need an album with all of your amazing songs🥺🥺 the playing house song is so cute.
I grew up the fourth child of nine, very curious kids. We totally used to make concoctions out of whatever we could find in the bathroom. We would usually hide it behind the curtain in the window sill of the bathroom and my mom would eventually find it when it began to get moldy and smell bad. Good times! We also did the same thing outside with mud and a variety of foliage. We made many mud pies and soups that smelled especially bad while decomposing. My poor mom. 😂
The sleep song is amazing!!! I loved it!!!
I go to movies by myself ALL the time!!!!! I love it so much
I heard recently that people with adhd usually like the feeling of tattoos and it calms them, even can put them to sleep.
One of my favourite activities is seeing a movie alone and people judge me about it all the time. They’re like really you go alone? That’s so weird! But like I love it, to me it’s a very cathartic experience
Alone time in public is incredible! Very Main Character lol I love it. Shopping, movies, lunch. Love it!
iPhones have this amazing feature, that I use when I sleep because my classmates (going into my final term of becoming an animal nurse) like to text really late about class work and such, it’s called do not disturb. You can set it for really any amount of time. Just search for it in the settings, or pull down from the right corner of the screen (in the same place you can turn on your flashlight when your phone is unlocked) and select the icon that says “focus”! This will help so much! No more beeping or phone ringing off the hook unless you want it to.
Love y’all! The beeping doesn’t bother me, but I believe if you turn off call waiting in settings it should stop the noise.
Pausing 5 minutes in to say THANK YOU about the doing stuff alone thing. As a single 27 year old lady (whose friends are LITERALLY all married or living in a different city or otherwise incredibly busy) I find myself doing stuff alone all the time. I even took myself on a trip to another part of my country for a week to go Skydiving. And everywhere I went I was dining alone (I did meet up with a distant friend for one coffee during the whole week). It’s both empowering and frustrating for me. I love feeling like I can do these things on my own, buuuut I am often sad I don’t have anyone to just go do things with.
This is making me sound like a sad loner, but I do actually spend a lot of time with my family and groups. It’s just more often than not, if I’m out, I’m alone.
Let’s normalise it!
OK, in all seriousness the song about sleep is my new anthem! 💤😅👌🥱
1) please please please finish the song about you two playing house. 2) the beeping is not too bad at all, answering the phone is so cute and its cool to hear the conversations. 3) the way Erik kept saying he defiantly isn't better then you was so cute
