10 seconds in and I have to pause to say that the way your mom looks at you, you can just FEEL the love and adoration she has for you. She is one proud momma and you can tell!! So precious. Love you both 💓
Can't you hear Gwen's scream in your head?? 'Colleen Mae Ballingerrrrrrrr!!' 'Miracles come true!!' Prayers are answered!!'. We all love this woman. ❤🫠
You probably won't see this but I just wanted to say your relationship with your mom reminds me so much of me and my mom. We loved rocks and the beach, and we would discuss random facts for hours. In a few weeks it'll be the first anniversary of loosing her and sittibg and listening to the two of you laugh and reminisce together was just what I needed to remind me to take the good memories with the sad ones. Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It'll soon be 3 years since cancer robbed me of my momma and I miss her every second of every day. I hope Colleen appreciates and cherishes every moment with her mom.
I’m sure there is a very magical, mind blowing, scientific, physics and science based answer as to why and how that sea lion is balancing there if you asked Eric’s dad
This episode made me tear up hearing you ask your mom these parenting questions and personality questions. My mom passed when I was 16 and I often think about how I won’t be able to share these moments in my life with her. I’m so glad you get these moments with your momma and it made me feel like I can live through you a bit as I know my mom and I had a similar relationship to you all.
I love this! Everything about this episode is relaxing! Having an episode by the beach, how perfect! I love having Gwen be a guest co-host it’s always so fun!
I didn't think I could adore anymore one more than I do Colleen and then Flynn came along. The conversation at the end with the made up words and the way he was talking in his own "language" if you will, made my day. Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛
I’d give a lot to have a conversation like this with my mom❤️ “you’re raising a family in that house hun” oh my gosh🥲 you’re blessed with an amazing mom❤️❤️
COLLEEN! That conversation about what you remember about your Mom talking about yourself. Please remember that when you speak about yourself negatively. I’ve said it a million times but I know it would break your heart to hear any of your kids talk to themselves like that.
I loved EVERY SINGLE THING about this podcast. The beach, mama Gwen, Colleen talking about Easter, and especially the end with Flynn. Because we had such a long break and didn’t see Flynn talk, it seems like he went from baby talk to adult talk overnight. He’s so smart and adorable. Please bring him on more. Also bring any of your family members back to do a guest spot. You could even have you Colleen, Erik and a guest. That would be awesome. ❤
Hearing your mom describe the kids’ personalities compared to yours when u were a child at 25:25 is so cool! ❤ & then again as a mom at 26:20 while at the same time validating you was healing lol.
Seals fur-skin is used in crosscountry skiing, since it lets you go up the hill without sliding back down.... Once on the top, the seal skin is removed from under the skiies for the skiers to be able to ski down the hill. So that's how that seal is not being slided down by the waves. It's kind of Velcroed to the rock on its own will 😊
It got dark in my state, and I also think it needs to relax because this hasn’t happened since 1974 uh um yes it did in 2017 everyone was going crazy wearing welding helmets and buying and selling glasses 👓 like omg you won’t see this for another 23 million years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂except the one in 2024
I absolutely love Flynn’s truck of the day and not to brag, but I am a race car driver and I am impressed with how well he knows his cars and what’s on them and it just makes my heart so warm🩷🥺
I just read this: The song can be found in musical publications, including alternative versions, in the book Camp and Camino in Lower California from 1910. There, it is referred to as the “Spider Song.” In that book, “itsy bitsy” is changed from “blooming, bloody.” Later, the song was published in one of several modern versions in the book Western Folklore by the California Folklore Society in 1948. It was also published in Mike and Peggy Seeger’s American Folk Songs for Children, also from 1948. Original lyrics from the “Spider Song” in 1910 go like this: Oh, the blooming, bloody spider went up the spider web, The blooming, bloody rain came down and washed the spider out, The blooming, bloody sun came out and dried up all the rain, And the blooming, bloody spider came up the web again.
That is hilarious that you mentioned about the itsy bitsy Spider nursery rhyme Colleen! I was so used to hearing itsy bitsy from Ms Rachel and then was shocked to hear incy Wincy from the teacher when I was with my daughter at playgroup class! Mind you, I've been living in Australia for 20 of my 34 years and never heard of that before! Lol
Awww I loved this episode. Ty for doing one with your mom, I love when she joins Rachel's & was hoping you would do something with her. Flynn's truck of the day was everything 😊
35:45 wowWwwwwed by Flynn's truck of the day, he's come so far in his ability to describe the cars haha I love how intense 😉 it was. He's so stinkin adorable and sweet, and smart! All these kids are growing up too fast!!!
I grew up the youngest of 4 with a single mother. I NEVER believed in Santa specifically because my mom got tired of getting no credit and said never again. Once I even got in trouble with the principal for telling my whole class there was no Santa. 😅
that truck of the day segment just gave me a reality check on how much flynn has grown up since the podcast started 😭 he seems like the sweetest kid i know you guys are raising your kids right 💜
It's so nice to see Miss Gwen. I sure do miss seeing her on Rachel's podcasts. Watching this video made me realize just how much Bailey looks like her.
Colleen, that's the beauty in life and characters our kids realize at some point that it was us that made it special!!! It's the awe ha moment of growing up!!
Please. More. Water. I need it, I live in rural Michigan now I used to live in the Caribbean, I get homesick watching videos of home but this ocean sound, is amazing and pleasing, and I’ve never felt this way, it’s like homesick without the ill feelings and crying
This episode felt so comfy and calming. It reminds me of conversations I use to have with my Nana and it made my heart happy 🥰 Top that off with an adorable Truck of the Day, it was a perfect episode to wind down to. Flynn and my son are 2 weeks apart in age and they are so similar in personality 😂
Yay! So great to see your mom! I love your business idea! I think you should do this (especially if your mom is on board). I love that you asked about her bum- it shows that you’re a good person! I would love to see you do something you love (music too)! I love your mom’s honesty (about herself). I still think you’re a bit too hard on yourself. You’re both beautiful! The beach is a great backdrop. Flynn is adorable!!!
I live in Soutwest Arkansas and we were in the direct path of the totality eclipse...and it was so cool and I probably won't ever get to witness this again in my lifetime as I am 62 years old and this is the first Eclipse that I have ever seen an Eclipse in Totality. It was very odd, the temperature started dropping and as it neared completion it got completely dark, it only lasted here in Hope for 2 minutes. I am very proud of our town made a very big deal out of it and made sure that anyone that wanted to witness it got the glasses. I thought that was such a nice thing for them to do. Love seeing your Mom do a podcast with you. Omg Flynn is so stinkin cute! Love his description of Jackson Storm! I have a grandson that loved him just as much! 💗
We are all human, that'd the beauty of life going understanding our kiddos, and because we beat ourselves more than anyone that is why we should be kind to others!!
people that remember *you can relax, colleen and eric have a podcast, the world is scary and we’re locked in our homes, but now we have big microphones…so you can relax that’s the name of our podcast*
After rewatching/listening to some old episodes I would love to hear you, Colleen, do more impersonations, maybe a segment when you talk in a southern accent, I love it!
10 seconds in and I have to pause to say that the way your mom looks at you, you can just FEEL the love and adoration she has for you. She is one proud momma and you can tell!! So precious. Love you both 💓
Flynn’s confidence to just make up the word Miraously was amazing
I’m loving the podcasts by the beach it’s so calming and relaxing 🥹🌊💗
same love the sound of the sea in the background
Your mom’s reaction to your pregnancy with Flynn will forever be my favorite video on the internet
Same with the twins! When Erik walks into the room and she excitedly points to him and screams " Erik I love you!!" Its amazing.
And the twins!
I watch her pregnancy announcement videos over and over again. Gwen’s reaction each time is absolutely priceless!!
Can't you hear Gwen's scream in your head??
'Colleen Mae Ballingerrrrrrrr!!'
'Miracles come true!!'
Prayers are answered!!'.
We all love this woman.
❤🫠
100%
Flynn sounds so much like Erik it’s so cute😭
No he sounds like Miranda 😂
Why is no one talking about Flynn’s Truck of the Day?! That was ADORABLE I LOVE HIM 😩❤️
Truck, truck, truck of the day-ayyyyy
Yep-pah! He’s a natural comedian 🥰 and such a sweetheart ❤
It was neariously intense. Thank you, bye! 😂😂😂
You probably won't see this but I just wanted to say your relationship with your mom reminds me so much of me and my mom. We loved rocks and the beach, and we would discuss random facts for hours.

Flynn’s truck of the day was so cute 😭 he’s growing up too fast!! He is so cool!!
Your mom's love for all of her children warms my heart. You also have your mama's heart for your children. ❤️
I’m sure there is a very magical, mind blowing, scientific, physics and science based answer as to why and how that sea lion is balancing there if you asked Eric’s dad

What a great episode. We miss Eric but Mama Gwen and Flynn’s vehicle of the day are perfection ❤❤❤.
Flynn speaks like Erik and it is too cute!!
Nicely done. I like the subtle sounds of the ocean in the back
Aww the sea lion is so cute he just be chilling enjoying the sun ☀️🦭🌊
PLEASE do something like this with your mom again! Just a sit down, talk. I thought this was so wonderful. Y’all are awesome! ❤️
I love this! Everything about this episode is relaxing! Having an episode by the beach, how perfect! I love having Gwen be a guest co-host it’s always so fun!

“You’re probably intense” 😂❤
GWEN!!! I love Carrot, but so happy to see Gwen! She's so sweet! ❤
How kind of Mama Ballinger to invite Colleen to be her co-host
I love when your mom is in your videos. She would be the perfect neighbor.
I’d give a lot to have a conversation like this with my mom❤️ “you’re raising a family in that house hun” oh my gosh🥲 you’re blessed with an amazing mom❤️❤️
COLLEEN! That conversation about what you remember about your Mom talking about yourself. Please remember that when you speak about yourself negatively. I’ve said it a million times but I know it would break your heart to hear any of your kids talk to themselves like that.
I wish this episode was longer ❤️🥰

Oh my goodness have to comment cause Flynn just made my day. He is SO precious! Thank you Colleen for sharing these beautiful moments. ❤

Don’t know if I needed to know that. Humans are so disgusting.
That’s terrible 😢 poor seals 🦭
It got dark in my state, and I also think it needs to relax because this hasn’t happened since 1974 uh um yes it did in 2017 everyone was going crazy wearing welding helmets and buying and selling glasses 👓 like omg you won’t see this for another 23 million years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂except the one in 2024
Behind every [insert holiday here] is an exhausted Mum ❤
Gwen is so awesome! Loved hearing the two of you chat about being moms and how the times have changed!
Hearing Colleen describing rock polishing 🪨reminds me of childbirth, you work so hard & you wait so long to polish this beautiful thing….👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻🥰
Also i love any of your podcasts/ vlogs at the beach… 🌞🌊soooo beautiful
In Australia, we sing "incy wincy spider" !!!!!!
I absolutely love Flynn’s truck of the day and not to brag, but I am a race car driver and I am impressed with how well he knows his cars and what’s on them and it just makes my heart so warm🩷🥺
The way Flynn got in your face saying "part my train" was funny 🤣

And the blooming, bloody spider came up the web again.
I’ve been waiting for this all day. And for Gwen to be on is great. I love your mom ❤
I really enjoyed this! I like the “on-location” episodes, and your mom is so sweet and just goes with the flow of the podcast. 🥰
Your mom is the cutest! I can totally see the similarities in personality between you both!
That is hilarious that you mentioned about the itsy bitsy Spider nursery rhyme Colleen!

The beach ⛱️ is amazing 🌊
I loved Flynn's Truck of the Day. He is so adorable and seems so grown up now.

35:45 wowWwwwwed by Flynn's truck of the day, he's come so far in his ability to describe the cars haha I love how intense 😉 it was. He's so stinkin adorable and sweet, and smart! All these kids are growing up too fast!!!
oh gosh I love your mother. listening to you chat reminds me so much of me and my mom, it's very sweet and familiar. great episode!
Flynn in Erik’s chair - adorable!
This needed to be longer!
Mum and Flynn's truck of the day, what more could you need for a special?!
I grew up the youngest of 4 with a single mother. I NEVER believed in Santa specifically because my mom got tired of getting no credit and said never again. Once I even got in trouble with the principal for telling my whole class there was no Santa. 😅

The best episode ever
It's so nice to see Miss Gwen. I sure do miss seeing her on Rachel's podcasts. Watching this video made me realize just how much Bailey looks like her.
How do you stay serious when Flynn says THE CUTEST RANDOM THINGS omg i’d lose it 😂🥹❤️
Wesley gives off Orange Cat Behavior and Im here for it 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I loveeeee the podcast at the beach! Your mom is adorable, always love seeing her! Reminds me of me and my mom 🥹
I love these so much, it’s so nice watching Colleen talk to someone who actually lets her finish her sentences lmao 😅
flynn 10000% reminds me of a sheldon cooper (but younger) in young sheldon 🫶
The conversation with your mother was heartwarming. Write it all down.
And Flynn is the smartest boy I’ve ever seen.
Loving the sound of the ocean in the background!
Colleen, that's the beauty in life and characters our kids realize at some point that it was us that made it special!!! It's the awe ha moment of growing up!!
looooooove any content with mom!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
5:20 I grew up in Australia during the 80’s and we said itsy bitsy spider.
Please. More. Water. I need it, I live in rural Michigan now I used to live in the Caribbean, I get homesick watching videos of home but this ocean sound, is amazing and pleasing, and I’ve never felt this way, it’s like homesick without the ill feelings and crying
This episode felt so comfy and calming. It reminds me of conversations I use to have with my Nana and it made my heart happy 🥰 Top that off with an adorable Truck of the Day, it was a perfect episode to wind down to. Flynn and my son are 2 weeks apart in age and they are so similar in personality 😂

Just lovely to see sweet Gwen. I loved your conversation about mothering and gender roles. Thanks for including us❤
I live in Soutwest Arkansas and we were in the direct path of the totality eclipse...and it was so cool and I probably won't ever get to witness this again in my lifetime as I am 62 years old and this is the first Eclipse that I have ever seen an Eclipse in Totality.

I’m in southeast Missouri so we had full eclipse. The darkness of it is eerie! I loved it!
Gwen is absolutely beautiful ❤ outside & inside ❤
Flynn ❤❤❤ a mini Erik, sounds so much like him
Flynn is definitely Erik’s child lol they are so similar
I love watching your podcast
I will never relax about that last eclipse that was so wild and cool 😎 coming from Dallas!!
Also yes cow colostrum is yellow in cows
We are all human, that'd the beauty of life going understanding our kiddos, and because we beat ourselves more than anyone that is why we should be kind to others!!
Are you kidding me, Flynn sounded JUST LIKE ERIK when he did Truck of the day! 🥺 Mind-blowing resemblance I loved it
people that remember
*you can relax,
colleen and eric have a podcast,
the world is scary and we’re locked in our homes,
but now we have big microphones…so you can relax that’s the name of our podcast*
Love Flynn exploring his vocabulary.
Also, Flynn is so stinking cute. I could listen to him talk about trucks all day! 😀
Omg Flynn is gettin so big❤!
After rewatching/listening to some old episodes I would love to hear you, Colleen, do more impersonations, maybe a segment when you talk in a southern accent, I love it!
Gwen is my absolute favorite! We need more Colleen & Mama Gwen❤
Omg y'all should have a segment where flynn talks about his day! 😍😍

Favorite episode yet❤
Colleen your mom is the best ❤
Flynn’s vehicle of the day is my favorite thing in the world. You were right, Flynn. I was intense about your Jackson Storm race car!
We need more Gwen content! She is so wise and a pure heart!!!
I missed Gwen, what an angel ❤
I am also the only one in my family to talk about emotions and stuff too! I’m also a Scorpio.. 💕🙃
This was so wholesome
Seaglass is so fun! I live near Lake Superior in Wisconsin and seaglass is SO fun to find! Seaglass is everywhere!
Sea lion is taking a break on the rock, to keep from getting beached. Very smart!
