While Erik was talking about how much he hates salads, it made me want a salad so bad that I went to the store to buy one lol. Absolutely love salads and FINISH them every. single. time.
I love salads 🥗 One of my main "go to" meals. One of my favorites is getting hot giardiniera made from an olive oil base and use that as a dressing along with some tomatoes & cucumbers. Yum 😋 👌
You both one up each other 😂😅 it’s not just Erik …I think it’s just your dynamic …..moments after the one up talk when Erik was opening up about His 10 lb weight gain , Colleen had to mention she gained 70 lol
if someone bitched about a ten pound weight gain after i recently gained 70 pounds, you bet your sweet ass im bringing it up. puts shit in perspective dont ya think?
@@brendaohh not really …that wasn’t my point …I would too…my point was she one ups him too …that’s just their dynamic …I didn’t say one was right and one was wrong for doing it …everyone knows she’s gained and lost from the babies but not everyone knew he gained and was struggling a bit so it was nice to hear him open up

This is Colleen’s perfect episode: passive aggressively making fun of Erik in the most unorganized way possible. Erik, however- he keeps a list. *A list.*
@@nobodygutsme Colleen casually mentioning things that are annoying about Erik but immediately apologizing, haha, and then Erik organizes specific episodes to list all the things annoying about Colleen. In the best way possible
I love salads too. I would eat them everyday if I could but I like to put lots of stuff in my salads and fresh produce is really expensive where I live so I can’t afford to eat all fresh salad and stuff all the time
I remember when Flynn was a baby Colleen used to sing Erik’s praises in every video and now they just roast each other. Kids are wonderful but make life so stressful. Put your marriage first! Just advice from a 17 year married lady with 3 kids ☺️💞
I will not stand for this salad slander. Salad is the most perfect food. So versatile, healthy, and satisfying! I had an amazing chopped salad for dinner last night!
The elbow thing is 1000% true and here's how I know: when my kid was like 7-8 years old, he heard the statistic from SOMEWHERE, and tried it, and got a kick out of it being true. Which meant it became a THING. Right? Because kids. So any time I wasn't paying attn, he would lick my freaking elbow, and I wouldn't know it had happened until he started giggling hysterically right behind me. Finding him there laughing then I'd know... he'd done it again lol, and sure enough my fucking elbow would be wet. He did it when we were standing in line to check out at the grocery or in a store in the mall, he'd do it while I was cooking, he'd do it while I was standing outside his school talking to other parents. ANY CHANCE HE COULD FIND LOL. He's 21 years old now and stilll thinks it's hilarious that he used to lick my elbow all the time without me ever feeling it.
"YoUR'e TaLKiNG tO SOmeONE WhO GaINeD 70 PoUNdS" colleen you've literally made a whole video about gaining like 5 pounds during quarantine and everyone was beyond supportive of your feelings even though you were still rail thin do better, men can have body image issues as well not just you Edit: your literally one upping him sooo its ironic your relax was he does lol you bring up your pregnancy everytime to invalidate him
She has image issues. Not sure how long you've been watching her, it was very difficult for her to be pregnant because of that. But honestly that should make her more understanding of Erik. I think you have to remember she's the one pumping ever 3 hours. Hasn't gotten true rem sleep in months.
@@nataliaspamer9745 that was kind of my point, she deals with body image issues so shouldn't she be more understanding? And we all know colleen pumps by now and she isn't the first or last person to ever pump
@@b_fr123 she is however, one of very few youtubers, pumping for not one, but two humans. while vlogging AND doing a podcast. she is exposing her life to us, stop acting like you're perfect. and i already said the first part that you said, don't understand why you'd reiterate it. guess you didnt read my second half.
it's so amazing watching Erik get more comfortable each week, colleen your hair looks wonderful! thanks for the great episode of my favourite podcast 🥰
I did hear the creak. My husband has a salad every night with his dinner. He loves them. He does agree that they are not filling, and he also does not eat healthy lol. He just loves a good salad. He even makes them himself, not pre-made ones.
Damn Colleen let Erik feel things, let him have an opinion, let him have a point of view, let him feel sad or depressed cause he’s life changed so drastically with the kids and the new lifestyle. He isn’t complaining he’s just feeling things let him. Your feeling are not only the ones that matter.
I guess they did this podcast before Colleen saw the comments on her vlog about how she doesn't listen to Erik when he's talking about his pain because hers is always worse than his. She is the biggest one-upper I've ever seen, especially if it's about negative things. His pain from his wisdom teeth didn't matter because it wasn't as bad as a caesarian, his back pain was no big deal because she carried twins and her thumb hurt, his depression can't have a name like hers because he didn't go through childbirth, just witnessed his wife have an emergency c-section, babies in the NICU, the stress of newborn twins, sleep deprivation, etc. Her pain and suffering are always, always worse than anyone else on earth. How does she not see this? I love her vlogs and this podcast, but c'mon, Colleen, you have to know you are worse than anyone when it comes to one-upping.
i completely agree!! both of their pain, traumas, and feelings are sooo valid and deserve to be heard and listened to! although erik didnt go through the physical labor of it all, u can tell he cares deeply about his family so having to watch his wife go through something so difficult and most likely feeling sorta helpless is difficult and draining in itself. additionally, like you said, erik also had to see the twins in the nicu. mother and father alike, that is something so traumatic!! pain is pain and traumas shouldn’t be compared, especially by your own significant other.
Thank. You. She preaches how she would never judge another person and 'if someone's in a body cast that doesn't mean your broken arm doesn't hurt' mentality but she NEVER sticks to that logic. I used to like her but the way she acts is getting worse and worse. If she's not the main focus then she can't handle it
I have always taken these conversations between them as jokes pretty much. Maybe because this is how me and my partner are but I never took it seriously when they both one up each other because it seems like normal partner teasing and joking 🤷🏼♀️ just my opinion.
Erik, Colleen i honestly think you guys would benefit from one day a week get out of the house and do something together without kids. Hire a nanny or grandma someone to watch the kids from morning to afternoon or evening at the house. And also dedicate time for therapy. Maybe an hour every two weeks. I know there’s a lot but i just really want to see you guys strive for your own mental health. All coming from a place of love. You two are doing awesome but i just feel like it’s okay to get time for yourselves as well, in the midst of this crazy world and caring for your beautiful children.❤️
i cant speak for erik, but i do know that colleen speaks about how she is currently in therapy in her vlogs!! she also talks in her vlogs about how they are in the process of finding a babysitter/nanny, but it is just a lengthy and difficult process. i hope they're able to find someone soon!
no because same!! i never realized until her last vlog, but ever since then i see it everywhere and shes pretty much only dismissive of eriks feelings and insecurities! it’s really frustrating and im only a viewer,, can’t imagine how erik feels (especially bc we only see some parts of their lives so this might happen a lot more)
@@neptunem good comment! And same. But people comment saying we don't know all about their relationship (obviously) and these are just minutes. But I can still see the constant eye rolling in these minutes, and plainly, the ignorance.
The way she rolled her eyes and said 'oh please' when he started talking about gaining weight, like damnn... Reminded me a bit of my family's reactions whenever I expressed my emotions, I did not like that part of the convo.
Ah nice. We got a video absolutely diminishing Erik’s feelings on one channel and then radio silence about that, only to see it YET AGAIN here. Is this podcast beneficial for y’all or is this yalls way of hashing shit out with each other? I
I think the invalidating Erik's feelings is rubbing everyone the wrong way, because she's SO aware of being politically correct and worried about offending her followers, but then gaslights the SHIT out of her husband. You can see him try to open up and literally shut down because she acts like he's a complete idiot and his pain isn't real.
this is BLOWING MY MIND ive NEVER noticed the smell of ants but apparently I'm the minority with this argument because apparently almost everyone can smell ants
Makes me really upset that Colleen just gaslights Eric and says maybe it is all in his head, how he feels about his body, .... Do they realize how much this podcast is basically them in couples therapy on youtube .... It is so triggering to watch ....
She also complains daily about some form of ache, pain, ailment but the minute he mentioned his back pain or Daddy depression, she rolls her eyes and gives him a hard time. He had back pain, she gave a hard time....her thumb hurt throughout that episode. Poor Erik isn't allowed to go through hard feelings after having the twins, or wisdom teeth getting pulled out pain or the back pain he had. The only 3 things he's ever mentioned. On a daily basis, she complains that something hurts her. 🤔🤔🤔
I genuinely tried the swallowing thing alongside you guys and got to 4 twice, easily. Didn't bother carrying on past that! Not sure what's happening to you guys with that one!!! 😂😂
Erik! I work out with my baby! I just hold him and do squats and lift him- I also nanny another baby so I’ll throw one in a chest carrier and the other on my hip or in my arms and you can lift them and dance around and I find it’s a great workout.
I think Colleen needs to gift Erik a home gym for a birthday or something for some him time. He sounds like he needs a break mentally and if he can't leave the house, that might be the best thing for him maybe? Also, I heard the mic creck but it wasn't a bother at all lol
Erik… you remind me so much of my husband.. a kind, caring, gentle soul! And my husband always tries to 1 up me! But I let it go and let him lol!! You guys are great!!
Dont want this to come off as weird but I listen on my headphones. Colleens voice is so clear an bright and Erik's voice has so much bass to it. I could fall asleep listening if I allowed myself to. Lol
Love this podcast. Don't miss one. Really enjoy the dynamic between Erik and Colleen. With that being said to be honest lately the amount of sponsor plus ads it's quite overwhelming, every 5 to 10min there's a sponsor or and advertisement, which makes the enjoyments a bite more difficult. Don't mean to be rude, I really appreciate the time and work they put in to this, but really, really wish they didn't went that heavy with the RU-vid advertisement.
I don’t even have to go back to watch, I fully caught that and remember that moment 😂😂😂 Since Erik doesn’t consider himself a one upper, maybe he’s just so extra dramatic when he tries to relate!
Lmao Erik it’s totally adorably sensitive today. Infants will do that to you. Both of you. And my best advice is to keep faking nice even though the venting. If you let yourselves get mean through it, it almost never goes away in your heart.
as someone who has to eat basically keto for health reasons and have to eat so much salad, I am laughing so hard at the salad thing lmao, however i do love salad
Yes, yes, yes! I can smell ants and ladybugs. Yuck! When my daughter was a baby, she was in her exersaucer, she randomly found a ladybug in the window sill and she ate it. I noticed her chewing something and went and got it out her mouth. Her mouth reeked of ladybugs! LOL! 🐞🤣
About the ant smelling segment: I took an animal communication class last semester that was super fascinating, and I might have an answer? Ants release something called "oleic acid" when they die, which sends chemical signals to the other ants in the colony that an ant is dead, and the live ants will actually pick it up and carry it out of the nest to the "garbage disposal" (sometimes other predatory ants will take these dead ants back with them for food). Ants rely on pheromones more than any other sense (and have super poor vision), so the chemical signals at death might be the scent that people are talking about when they step on an ant hill. I've never smelled ants 😅 BUT I'm thinking this might be the cause.... This scientist also created synthetic oleic acid in the lab and put it on live ants, and the other ants kept carrying these ants away and dumping them in the garbage disposal. The worker ants didn't even pay attention to it moving above them, they just smelled the chemicals and that's all they need to yeet them 😆 So to sum up they release smells to notify other ants they've gone to heaven and need to be removed so they don't rot up the nest
I know a lot of 1-uppers.. but I've been told that feeling like someone is a "1-upper" is an ADHD trait and has to do with us getting RSD (if there was a lighter version).. Salads = Delicious!! Though I do agree with Erik, they can be frustrating to eat when you want a bit of everything on your fork each bite! Also.. I swallowed 7 times before I had to stop and take a breath!!.. 😂
Convenient. Now we’re focusing on how Erik isn’t empathetic/sympathetic so we’re not angry with the daddy blues vlog and the back pain vs thumb pain. Oof girl, you’re good.
I can imagine that it helps her keeping her hands busy. I have dermatillomania too and I'd rip at my fingers if I didn't have anything else to do with them.
Yes Erik I have finished many salads, you add meat and veggies and it’s a meal. Asian salads are my favorite. My eating habits are just like Colleen, chocolate chip cookies at night and all. I eat them because they taste good not for health at all.
Even if an overdressed salad is calorically the same as a big mac, the salad with more vegetables and more vitamins is inherently "healthier". Honestly, everything is healthy in moderation, have 3 salads a week and 3 big macs, or whatever makes you happy. Plus, salads aren't the only healthy foods out there!
Oh my god. My sister and I can DEFINITELY smell dead ants. It’s a really strong chemically scent. So weird some people can smell it and some people can’t
I can smell them too. Even when they're alive and teeming over some food on the ground or crowding a trail. Yuck. I can smell ladybugs and worms, too, btw 🙃
I can’t smell them from a distance but as a kid I squished one on my finger and smelt it and it stunk. No idea why I did that but I was a kid lol. I thought everyone could smell them if they had one up close.
Colleen its so weird that everytime I have a thought the next day on this podcast you’ll say it…EVERY SINGLE TIME. I was JUST thinking about how bad lady bugs smell lmfao
Remembering Rachel and Emily on Rachel's podcast that Emily can smell ants. Y'all need to do a social experiment. My nephew as a toddler would gag because a fly was stinky.
My eyes when Erik is talking about eating salads 👀👀 lol I eat/finish a salad every day for breakfast. It gives so much energy and substance, I'm full until dinnertime!!
