Colleen, you should make Erik do impressions of Patrick since he makes you do Miranda impressions😂. It would be funny😭

[@LadyAurian]

I think he can't, because Netflix owns that character, but I agree it would be so fun. It's such a shame she can't have Patrick appear in Miranda-videos from time to time, especially when it's about babies since we know in that universe they are probably Patricks.

This is an IMPORTANT MESSAGE for Erik!!!: When you empty the diaper genie and pull the tied end of the bag down, pull it down FARTHER. There should be at least 5 or so inches of bag lying on the bottom of the genie. I’m telling you, it will last longer and you won’t have to empty it as often.

Yes! And never bother with that hook thing they have at the top on some bins (it instructs me to loop the bottom of the bag up there - it’s a waste). Diaper genie mum of 14 years here lol.

[@amandalynpetitclerc4880]

Any neurodiverse person knows the most satisfying feeling in the world as a kid (and adult) is just shoving your hands maybe halfway up the forearm deep in grains, birdseed, sand, small polished stones and even those big fill it yourself cat litter vats at petstores. Also totally agree with you on the yuck textures too, my trigger texture is grease, butter or oil. The amount of times I wash my hands while cooking is by far extremely unnecessary and it's amazing I haven't washed my skin off yet. Lol sensory issues ahoy

[@princessfifi4206]

Colleens SAT question: 24 hours per day 18/24 = 3/4 so every 18 hours the trash is emptied Day 1: emptied at 18hrs (6pm) - so once a day Day 2: 6pm + 18hrs = 12pm noon - again only once Day 3: 12pm + 18hrs = 6am + 18hr = 24h (12am midnight) - therefore twice a day

No mat around the toilet but yes under the sink. Drips get everywhere especially with kids

[@TdScar]

The toilet mat really grosses me out so intensely 🤢🤢🤢

[@angelaarnold4255]

I’m going to speak to the plus side of a toilet mat. When I’m in my own home absolutely yes to a toilet mat. But for the time being, I’m living at my daughters house while mine is being renovated because I’ve recently become disabled because of some back issues. So while I’m at my daughters house, I have to share the bathroom with my 18 year old and 16 year old Grandsons. Now you’d think they’re old enough to not be peeing on the wall behind the toilet, the floor in front of the toilet, all over the edge of the toilet so it runs down the front and sides. Ok. Now that I’ve completely 🤮 🤢 grossed out everyone. I’ve talked to my daughter, my Grandsons (repeatedly), the cat, the dog. It does no good. These boys are so amazing in the way they jump up and run to me anytime I’ve needed help (or needed anything). But I swear they are blind when they are in the bathroom. So yep, daily, I toss a clean towel on the floor in front of the toilet. I refuse to step in puddles of pee anymore in my socks, fuzzy slippers or bare feet. And I’m the only one that cleans the bathroom. I’ve made them take turns. But the same eyes that can’t see where they are peeing, also can’t see to clean it up! Lol. Rant over.

I totally agree that touching dirty dishes especially when they’re all piled into the sink is absolutely VILE. I also just had a conversation with my mom about how she likes to buy the big oranges that are harder to peel and she told me just to cut all the peel and skin off and then cut it into pieces, but the thought of touching the bare sticky orange with my fingers is horrendous!

[@Slingley]

I’m on the spectrum and also wasn’t diagnosed until I was adult and since then it’s been a whirlwind “oh that’s from being ND too” so I can 100% relate to the sensory issues and lack of awareness as you are learning to understand yourself. There is a lot of overlap with ADHD and ASD and there have been countless times of watching your vlogs where I go “hey I do that too!”

[@hayyybailsss]

Totally agree with the texture thing. I touch certain textures and my entire body tenses up, and I can’t move. I literally retract my arms like a scared turtle, sometimes I even gag. It mainly consists of any velvet, Wet food, “soft” blankets that snag any little tiny dry skin particle on my body, the long shaggy/faux fur rugs or just random clothes. I cant have steering wheel covers or certain yoga pants because the feeling of them make me want to crawl in a hole and die lmao. Also with the bird seed thing, mine was always cattle feed, it feels amazing and it smells even better! So, Colleen you’re not alone!

Really? I saw the opposite. Weird!

[@kristel8991]

Same! I actually used to think that a bath mat in a toilet is normal, but the comments made me kinda agree with Erik 😅

[@Moiax]

I distinctly remember looking at the comments on that episode and seeing people agree with Erik. Colleen digging for support LOL.

As a person that got diagnosed with ADHD in my late twenties... YES to all of the weird things I did growing up and looking back at now that I thought was normal and no one else did. haha

I know this sounds strange but when I was little my grandma gave me one of her dish towels to use as my stuffed bunny’s blanket and I love how it feels when it’s cold! It’s comforting and reminds me of her she and my grandpa who gave me the bunny passed when I was 7 so it’s nice to have things to remind me of them!

I feel so understood by Colleen… I also have ADHD and totally hate touching certain things, ESPECIALLY dirty dishes. The slimey-ness of the dirty dishes and I too hate the feeling of wearing gloves! My boyfriend always gives me shit for not doing the dishes but I adamantly hate it because of the textures/sensations the most. I also can’t stand the feeling of dander on short hair dogs (and some cats), if I pet a short haired dog I have to almost immediately wash my hands, despite loving dogs! However long haired dogs and cats I have no issue with, because they tend to not have the same type of texture/dander layer.

Girl 100 procent same!

I’m autistic and adhd (fun combo) and I can 100% relate to your sensory issues. I hate when things or people softly touch me 🤮 The bird seeds sounds like they would feel wonderful though.

[@Jenny3fifteen]

Erik, passing all this judgement😂the guy who lovesssss to smell your Armpits🤣🤣🤣

[@cleosworld9096]

Poor erik and colleen. Erik literally looks like hes sleeping now lol. Dont know how they even record these right now. If they took a break wed sooooooo........ get it. However, I think they like it cause it forces them to talk about stuff that not just babies

[@Fluffnugget78]

They're not going to take a break, podcasts make more money than normal youtube channels because of the ads.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

@@Fluffnugget78 And they've also signed contracts so not sure they can just not post, haha

[@miabruno775]

flynn singing the maisy jo song was the cutest thing I've ever heard

[@beccadrew3129]

The word Erik is looking for is “tactile” not textile 😂

[@bees_hive_of_five8187]

I LOVE THE FEELING OF BIRD SEED! My grandparents had barrels of bird seed for the bird feeders. I also love the feeling of putting my hands in the cat litter stations at petco! I’m weird lol!

[@nadsss249]

I love how Erik just says the word “omicron” in every podcast episode recently😂

[@andijones2520]

He somehow works it in🤣

[@jess-sorandom828]

I love that song Erik ! Back in the day when I was young I'm not kid anymore but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again...

[@yazplatt]

About the whole rooting topic, as a Brit I always thought it was called “routing”, which here is pronounced the same as “rooting” (I don’t know why, just English tings I guess lol), so my logic was that the rooting reflex was the baby searching for a source of food like you search for a destination with a map or something. But the only way I could liken the two is because English people pronounce both words the same, and so it makes sense why Americans or people that would rhyme “route” with “bout” and not “boot” wouldn’t make that messy connection like I did 😂

[@Sarah7193]

Colleen you are such a mood when you talk about your sensory issues! This is the most I have ever related to you! I have intense sensory issues when it comes to taste, smell, sound and touch. Even when someone walks behind me I get chills. I am so glad I am not alone with these issues! Thank you for talking about this!
