Dealing With A Pathological Liar! // RELAX

[@rachelthomas4276]

From the UK and can confirm Colleen is absolutely right, air con does not come as standard. Loads of cars do not have it. She is also right that we only get one hot week a year 😂😂😂. Also, Pebbles is the daughter of Fred and Wilma Flintstone and Bam Bam was Barney and Betty’s son 😊

[@lucywilliams321]

Also from the UK yes she is completely right. I always like AC in my car tho 🤣🤣

[@derfranz5770]

German who lived 5 years in the UK: I have observed that sometimes, mostly people of Indian or Pakistani descent, don’t even turn the AC in their car on, even if they have one available, and sit in very warm damp cars with fogged up windows. Don’t know if that’s a cultural thing or just a personal preference, just something that I noticed a lot! ☺️

[@MomHacks]

Fred Flintstone and Wilma have a little red-haired baby girl named "Pebbles," hence the link to the cereal. Barney and Betty Rubble are their neighbors/friends, and have a little boy named "Bam Bam."

[@melaniec.8054]

Thank you for telling them. I came to the comments to see if snyone would. lol *Also "Dino" (pronounced dee-no") was their "dog". 😊

[@LibertyFrederick]

I’m old enough to know this. Hahah.

I still want to hear Erik's ghost story!

[@kat1368]

Yes me too. I was hoping it was going to be told tonight

[@rachelthomas4276]

This comment needs more likes so they will see it! I need to hear the ghost story 👻

[@nicolecramer3847]

Oh no he didn’t tell it? I was looking forward to it too! 😅

[@inyaki06]

Me too! 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

[@1borysek1]

Me too!

[@sarahmoore1430]

Erik, your hair looks great!

[@alwayzjello]

Yes!

[@cynthiachessani6788]

I noticed that too!

[@MeghanMedina1029]

Came here to say the same

[@laughinglisa]

When I was around 3-4 years old, my dad’s brother married my aunt. She was babysitting me for the first time and I, for some reason, decided to tell her that I was adopted (definitely not adopted). She gently argued with me and said “no, there’s no way you’re adopted, you look just like your big sister”. But I confidently argued back and said “that’s because we have the same parents, we were both adopted. Our parents live in California (I lived in Texas)” she was so irritated that her husband (my dad’s brother) had never told her that we were adopted. When he got home from work she confronted him and demanded answers. He told her that there was no way we were adopted because he saw my mom pregnant and came to see us at the hospital. It took a while to convince her that I was full of it. She still to this day teases me about it and I’m still waiting to meet my California parents. 😆

[@danielleandrade9097]

I heard that you are supposed to use the sheets under the blankets. Like, between you and the blanket.Then you wash the sheets more regularly, instead of washing a heavy blanket all the time

[@jos4222]

I’m also a horrible liar. I remember answering the phone in a really bad mood and the person on the other end was calling me for a job interview. I said that I wasn’t there and “took a message.” I called back later and tried to sound very upbeat. I got the job but always wondered if the lady knew it was me all along.

[@jessicaaimee2011]

The sellotape holding up the puppets has killed me

[@createconsiderconnect3356]

A sweet memory about top/flat sheets. When I was young we didn’t have a lot of money (I mean I still don’t lol), but my parents would save the flat sheets to repurpose into a gifts. They would use an old tattered ugly twin size blanket as the middle then recover it with a regular flat sheet on bottom & a fun fabric print on top. My blanket was Minnie Mouse fabric with a pink sheet that I still use today (I’m 45) , my brother got Looney Tunes with blue sheet, older sister got carousels with a turquoise sheet 🎠, younger sister got Oscar the Grouch (her fave Sesame Street character) with a green sheet. We all loved them so much! They’ve held up amazingly over many decades. Hope I explained that well enough haha We lost both our parents 100 days apart in 2022. Those blankets along with all the other amazing memories are so much more precious to us now 🩵 Sorry for the length, but since they asked if anyone actually used the top/flat sheets I figured my core memory applied.

[@jessjackson8892]

I work with a guy that’s maybe been there 6 months and he does this all the time even when he was brand new. We would be talking about something that happened in the past and he would go “oh yeah I remember that” or “yeah wasn’t that crazy” When he clearly didn’t work there when it happened. But he would say it with such confidence

[@MyJenniration]

Anyone else SCREAMINGGGG “PEBBLES IS THE DAUGHTER!!!! Her name is PEBBLES!!!!” ?!? lol 😩 lol 🦴

[@jamielee306]

The Flintstones Answer for you. They were the first ever cartoon sitcom with a laugh track before streaming. This took place during a point in time where everyone watched the same shows on air for many years around the world on cable or antenna hints to its long lasting popularity Eric. That's why it's so firm standing. There weren't many alternatives at the time. So everyone ended up watching the same cartoon. So our parents and grandparents all watched it. It's iconic and their beloved daughter Pebbles Flintstone was popular as it was their first baby. That's why the cereal is called fruity and cocoa pebbles.

[@Haily2151]

I’m a 2001 gen z and nobody will ever take my ankle socks away from me

[@rayskywalker4]

I’m a 2000 gen z and I agree 😂🫶🏻

[@authorgirlpetparent]

Hahaha...first 5 seconds: searching the background for the puppets...joke's on me.

[@rachelthomas4276]

Colleen, nothing you talk about is ever boring. You have a way of telling a story or explaining something that really captivates me, I think it’s because you are so passionate about the things you talk about. You could read out washing instructions and I would have to watch you 😂. Sorry if that sounds a bit weird but it’s true. 😊

[@capper2488]

I was HOWLING during the Flinstone conversation 😂😂

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Great haircut Erik! I’m old enough to remember The Flintstones and the spin off the Pebbles and Bam Bam Show. Brand recognition was serious back in the day

[@RawrGoesTheGreenDino]

“The one person watching. Hi mom” 😂😂😂

[@tabbylouise]

As a British gal it makes me SO MAD that we don’t have air conditioning in ANY places or houses it’s hell we can’t handle the heat cuz our country isn’t prepared for it 🤣😭😭😭😭

[@sarahandy9981]

I was in my '30s when I finally found out that they make deep pocket fitted sheets. They actually will go around your mattress with the mattress pad on and stay in place. They also have these little suspender like looking clasps that you can attach to the ends of your fitted sheet to help keep it in place. Both those have been a game changer for my bed making. Sending love from Los Angeles 💜💛

[@clarea9412]

You’re right in England a lot of older cars don’t have air con as standard. Just like a fan that you can turn cooler and warmer. But not proper air conditioning. And same with a lot of indoor spaces. Air con is not that typical. It’s not hot a lot here.

[@terraswinnie2894]

Oh oh! I live for this sheet convo!!!! They make these things that you clip on one side and then to the other and they stay on! ALSO NOOOOOO FLAT SHEET EVER.

[@99sAnne99]

SoCal, fitted sheet only in the summer/warm months. We have ac, but you can never keep it cold enough to need a blanket during summer.

[@matthewnour97]

COLLEEN! Enough with the "Sorry if my story was really long and boring." I literally laughed out loud at work while listening. So if you're saying you're boring, you're saying I'm boring. So don't be mean to me by being mean to you

[@matthewnour97]

ALSO! While not as dramatic as yours, I had the same exact thing. A cop pulled me over for going through a stop sign in a parking lot and there absolutely no people around. But apparently he was parked right next to me and I didn't see him. He pulled me over and said that I went through a stop sign, slowly, but still. And I'm like I'm so sorry I didn't see it I'm here to get brunch with my friends. And then he's like you sure? Because if you didn't see it I would have to write you a ticket and send you to driving school. I paused and looked at him and he very slowly shook his head and I'm like... Uhhh....... I mean.... I did see it, but yeah... I'm sorry. And he's like okay so you did see it but when through it slowly? And I said yeah.. I'm sorry. And he said it's okay, see what happens when you tell you truth. I'll let you off with a warning. Keep an eye out for stop signs and I'm like okay thank you so much! And drove away confused like he just told me to lie lol 😅😅

[@VaLonFrandsen]

I use the flat sheets as a table cloth. Just got a large table, and the flat sheets I've never used work great folded over and on the table. Amazing.

[@cstump2005]

I HAVE to use the top (flat) sheet! I have sensory issues and can’t STAND the feel of blankets against my skin when I’m trying to sleep 😂

[@alwayzjello]

I think Erik brings up a very good question with the Flintstones.

[@createconsiderconnect3356]

I always won 2 truths & a lie cause one of my truths is SOOOO unbelievable, but it legit happened! I once the entire train system to stop all trains from coast to coast due to having being seen carry a dead body down the road then tying it to the real road tracks waiting for a train to obliterate it 😮 The police showed up to investigate interviewing each us individually then had to go to our parents to explain what we’d been caught doing & that we may be charged. However, it was a life size dummy that we had tied to the tracks while pranking my older sister saying we had taken her friend for ransom! We made an entire ransom video tape (it was the early 90’s lol). We got a stern talking to by the police, a train representative, & our parents. We promised we learned our lesson & that we’d never do it again so no charges were ever filed. People always think I’m making that up as my lie 😂

[@vickidanielson6920]

I'm 62 years old, and I remember the Flintstones. I loved that show! Fred Flintstone was the dad, Wilma was his wife and Pebbles was their little girl. Their best friends were Barney Rubble, and his wife Betty Rubble, and their little son named Bam Bam. Pepples was so cute. That is where the name of the cereal came from. Barney was a little short, thick guy with blonde hair. Betty had dark hair with a tiny tiny waistline, as did Wilma. Wilma had red hair. Both ladies wore necklaces made from stones. Their "dog" was named Dino, he was a Snorkasaurus. Everything in their culture was of the stone age, yet it was modern society. Their couch was carved out of solid stone.

[@krystalgodwin2513]

Yeah only time I’ve ever used a flat sheet is when I was too hot in the summer and used it like a blanket

[@alwayzjello]

I remember going to France as a kid in the summer and they had a few days where it was really hot, but I'm general they didn't know about how weather. So my family for this big fancy car, and there was NO AIR CONDITIONING. They just didn't have to deal with it 340 days out of the year, so the 2 really hot weeks were brutal.

[@jmarsch5203]

I have to have it all!! The fitted sheet, the flat sheet, a blanket and a comforter! All of it!! 😂

[@brooke225]

Y’all talking about the flintstones was hilarious!

[@SheldonMoonsmom2019]

I was losing it lol lol

[@rachemlil]

I hope you are all well!! I love seeing you all!! So proud of you not that you need me to be proud but I am.

[@MENSBOUGIEBIBLE_Patrick]

I totally relate to the fitted sheet Erik! Mine used to come off in the middle of the night all the time! That’s why when I buy sheets, I buy a king set instead of a queen so they are oversized and don’t come off lol

[@shaunythoreson2006]

Yes I've known pathological liars. My best friend in highschool was one. The thing about them is they need to feel or be seen as interesting or important so they lie but pathological liars also will 100% believe their own lies

[@kimgordoncrafts]

Fred and Wilma Flintstones daughter was named Pebbles and their pet dinosaur was Dino (pronounced De-No). Barney and Betty Rubble had a son named Bam Bam

[@SOMUCHMORETHANMS]

As a child I ate a whole bottle of flintstones vitamins. My mom called poison control and was freaking out. I ended up with a bad case of the number 2’s and it was straight up purple. I’m 45 and watched the cartoon all the time!

[@constancarodrigues5732]

At least in Portugal, we use all the sheets in the bed, I do find it weird that Americans do not use the top sheet, I do not understand why not, I cannot sleep without it, it is what keeps you cozy and harm besides then the blankets

[@shaunythoreson2006]

Ok I was born in 1966 but the Flintstones ran on TV for decades. Fred & Wilma Flintstone had daughter Pebbles & their neighbors Barney & Betty Rubble had son Bam Bam.

[@tweedybird21]

I cannot stand the top sheet. I never use it. I do not even buy it because I don’t buy a sheet set because I won’t use it and I have to wear socks to bed unless it’s stupidly hot and I won’t wear covers, but if I have to wear covers. I wear socks to bed. I just use a fuzzy soft queen size blanket. I have a comforter or a duvet whatever you call it, but I don’t seem to use it. I just like the soft fuzzy queen size blanket. When I sleep

[@michelleeastridge3065]

I absolutely ate thhis whole episode up until the end and I just wanted more 🎉🎉🎉

[@bexparslow]

In the UK we don’t have air conditioning in every car! Heaters yes but like my dads car has air conditioning and my mums car doesn’t. They aren’t old cars either they are quite new models. And we also don’t have air con that really isn’t a normal thing, in my office we don’t have air cons. Everyone opens windows all the time, or buys electric fans. Hot summers in the UK are HELL 😂

[@KristinaNina19]

The fitted sheets with the corner always coming up, and the top regular sheet that I despise the existence of convo. I’ve literally never felt so seen and relatable 😂 always happens to me! Even in hotels I kick the top sheet off and just want the comforter like get outta here. Hate it

[@lizzyo6179]

Lol omg the Flintstone talk is hilarious!!! Bamm Bamm is Barney and Bettys kid. Pebbles is wilmas and freds kid

[@brandyemiliana2175]

I only use the top sheet to hold the fitted sheet in place i tuck it all under the mattress. Just look for deep pocket fitted sheets

[@amberleeperfetto7371]

The lying rhinestone story reminds me of Romy and Michelle high school reunion movie.. "I invented post-its" 😂

[@jos4222]

I love that movie! “Let’s fold scarves!”

My mom lied, my uncle is really her son. Didn’t know this for over 62 years.

[@rachelthomas4276]

😮

[@JLA0219]

I absolutely NEVER use a regular sheet. What a waste of time. 😂 They always end up balled up at the end of the bed.

[@sarah78119]

Flintstones vitamins began their popularity in 1968. Fred and Barney were neighbors/besties/coworkers. Fred and Wilma had Pebbles, and Barney and Betty had Bam Bam. Wilma and Betty were besties too ❤❤❤

[@sarah78119]

ALSO! Colleen is right!! Fred and Barney are on both Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles 😊

[@Wonderish]

I am cackling about your Flintstones discussion 😂 I wonder if the vitamins and cereal were good products to sell during Saturday morning cartoons? The Flintstones was def played on Saturday morning cartoons way after it was on the air during prime time.

[@MegaTelenovela]

I love the Flintstones. We watched it every weekend morning on tv as kids ❤ yabadabadoo!

[@imgabiireyes]

i love looking around the room for the puppets every week! my favorite easter egg of this podcast!

[@Bigmamajamma382]

😂 I have never felt more like a generation X-er listening to you two trying to figure out the Flintstones. The Flintstones were way before my time, but I did watch it and loved it. Fred and Wilma Flintstone have a daughter named Pebbles (Wilma was even pregnant on the cartoon) and a pet dinosaur named Dino (deen-o). Their neighbors, and best friends, are Barney and Betty Rubble and they adopt a son named Bam-Bam. 😂 I watched waaay too much TV as a kid in the 80’s. I have no information on how the vitamins and cereal have stood the test of time though.

[@jos4222]

Do you remember Wilma and Betty singing, “ Here we come on the run with a burger on a bun”? LOL…not sure why that just popped into my head.

[@savannahkay244]

MY LIE: when my little brother was 4 years old, i was 8/9 and he would always play games on my moms phone. my mom always had this fear that he would accidentally call 911 or emergency services without knowing, and so one day I TOOK THE PHONE AND CALLED THE POLICE. i pretended to sound like a very young child, and they believed it. they ended up coming to my house because they have to check and make sure things are okay, nothing ever happened obviously, the officer was like “i could tell it was a little kid, have a nice night” basically. and to this day my mom still thinks it was my little brother.

[@kariina1721]

In 1992 The Flintstones returned on television and began airing on Cartoon Network. I am born in 1994 and spent my entire childhood watching Cartoon Network and I clearly remember watching and loving The Flintstones. This is the first time hearing about vitamins so I don’t think this is what people remember the 1960s cartoon from 😅

[@kat1368]

The Flintstones cartoons still come on at least two or three cable channels

[@charlenecharchar]

"Hi Mom" - Erik says 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Erik is 1 of a kind❣️🦚❣️

[@brandeerodriguez8536]

I do use the flat sheet in the summer when it’s too hot to sleep with a regular blanket. I also use it to cover things. Like my couch or fold it up for my cats to use lol but not for it’s intended purpose

[@leoram1991]

The Flintstone s replays all the time when I was growing up people at least in the UK knew it from the cartoon mainly

[@connieb4372]

Erik... even though I have not had the pleasure of traveling to the UK, I've heard that it is very common that they don't have AC in their cars because it just does not get that hot. I guess they ride around with the windows down? I know they don't usually have AC in their homes. As far as heaters, I am pretty sure they have those because it does get very cold... it seems to stay cold and rainy in the UK. About the sheets... you have to make sure that you are putting them on right.. I do it wrong all the time and it bugs my husband who has sold mattresses for his entire life. It also helps if you get oversized sheets that fit better on the thicker mattresses.

[@SabyMon]

I refuse to give up my ankle socks. I get swollen ankles and cant do the high socks. Could care less about how stylish I am not.

[@annarobitaille5347]

I’m a big fan of you both and I have a serious question. I’m about to be a senior in film school, what should I make my thesis film about? Seriously I’ve had no ideas come to me, and I’d thought it would be fun to hear if you guys had any ideas for a 15-20 minute short film lol. I love the way Colleen’s brain works and with Erik being in the film industry, I knew you were just the people to come to. I love y’all so much!!

[@ChemiConscious1]

Pebbles was Fred and Wilma’s daughter. Bamm-Bamm was Barney and Betty’s son. But it’s kind of surprising that Fred and Barney are on the Fruity Pebbles box and not Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles, who presumably the cereal is named after.

[@lauren_m0ney]

The vans brand no show socks are the best lol they never fall off or slide down ever

[@createconsiderconnect3356]

Wow, we took Flinstone vitamins as kids too in the 80’s

[@brittanysmith2550]

AHA I throw the top sheet out too! but my grandmother uses it everynight

[@theamanuel8825]

Did anybody else know that DC comics made a comic book about the flintstones in 2016?!

[@faeriesandrainbows]

I love how long "Dada Carrot" has lasted! 🧡

[@nikkib1179]

I disagree Colleen, but I think culture matters too, my culture loves the no show socks especially in the summer with our Short shorts and skirts. Also the sock depends on the outfit

[@jos4222]

I have to use the top sheet. I can’t stand feeling just the comforter on me. Not sure if it’s true, but I heard that The Flintstones was made to take after The Honeymooners.

[@KES47Brown]

I know one. The most silly lies 🥴 I know someone that told me when I became a new mom that if I don’t let my baby fall off the couch before he turns 1, that he will die when he’s a teenager. Said she knew a woman that had 17 kids, she didn’t let any of them fall off the couch before they turned 1 and EVERY SINGLE ONE died in their teen years. Sledding accidents, car accidents, murders. I poop you not, this was told to me. Then when my son fell off the couch and got hurt she was like OMG I DIDNT MEAN IT! But now she forgets she told me that.. because she swears by it again lol

[@samanthakavanagh7034]

47:20 my aunt always called my cousin a pathological liar (he is...) but since we were like 3-4 I can remember her saying it. So much so that I started calling him a "psychological liar" because I too was 3-4 and words are big....... I'll never forget how embarrassed I was when I learned pathological was the correct term lololol

[@janetowen3429]

What happened to Erik's ghost story? He never got to tell it last week. I was waiting for it.

[@freya4729]

Its true, in the UK ACs are not that important, we rarely get hot days, when we do they are ahort then we get cooled by the rain lol

[@alwayzjello]

I have a friend like that who always lies about the weather. She's never hot, even when her face is beet red, and she's never cold even when she's shivering. Liar!

[@mind_palace]

Sometimes you don't really feel it, or are aware of it. Like not feeling hungry even though you haven't had any food the last 6 hours, or anything to drink. Or with pain as well. It's like being hyposensitive to things. Even though the body is reacting to it, you don't feel it as much. Obviously i have no idea about your friend,but this is a possibility😅

[@Crystal-oc6zr]

When Colleen starting singing Lamb Chop Underwear, I busting up laughing out loud because I still randomly sing that to this day and dont really remember much else regarding Lamb Chop besides the Charlie Horse character.

[@paigecarey9674]

I could neverrrrrr sleep without the regular sheet! Like fitted sheet, regular sheet, fluffy blanket, quilt. That's the order

[@christinemassena]

The fruity pebbles cereal is tied into the Flintstones because Fred flinstones' daughter was in fact named pebbles. Bam bam was the son of barney rubble and his wife, and I believe, adopted.

[@alyssaeaton6618]

Omg nooooooooo!! I NEED a top sheet to sleep. Doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold in the room. But I’m also the kind of person who sleeps with a fan on in the winter 🤣

[@katemedcraft]

What is that chair she's kicking back in?! Dare say it's be expensive af but damn that looks comfy and just ripe for a afternoon nap!!!

[@Cullenore]

Flat sheet is the required separator between your body and the blanket or comforter. Easy to wash. Y’all sound like you need some deep-pocket fitted sheets. Your mattress is just too chunky for the regular fitted. Also, show a Flintstones cartoon to your kids. Or the feature film. They will enjoy their vitamins even more 😂. Another great pod! Had me LOL’ing at the Flintstones discussion. So many relatable comments made. Love you guys 😂❤
