Erik and Rachels First Date! w/ Rachel Ballinger // RELAX

[@edwardsmd9124]

Yes!!! Erik and Rachel having a conversation! Love it! 😍 The next combo (while Colleen is on vocal rest) needs to be Erik and Kory! ☺️

[@tilicia]

I’m DYING for a Erik and Kory duo!

[@chibi_rabbit]

Yesssss!!!

[@Hannah-hz1dv]

we NEED erik and kory!!!!!

[@starry_eyes_k]

I feel like this has been suggested so much and they are obviously avoiding it for some reason which just makes it that much more intriguing.

[@Stargazer95485]

​@Karlene Snyder it's because they only tolerate each other for Colleen.

[@notaseat5934]

These two were an unexpectedly incredible duo

[@margaretshannon36]

Facts

[@nancyhughes7595]

The duo we didn’t know we needed! I love how they bounce off of each other. Great job guys!

[@alenunya]

Quite expectedly to me

[@kirbysimmons7957]

Yes!! I need more of this duo!

[@marcyanne8910]

just realizing how simialr these 2 are. And their chemistry, havent laughed like that at this podcast in a minute. can see why colleen chose him

[@margaretshannon36]

Omg these two need a podcast soooo bad like LITERALLY RACHEL AND ERIC PLEASE i never laughed so hard at podcast till this

[@francessca4276]

I agree I want to see this!

[@kamsm.2556]

Or Rachel can be like a semi regular co-host !

[@AinsleeDawn]

Erik neeeeeds to go on Uncensored! 😂

[@pivana]

Absolutely! It is the Aries--Libra duo! Their energies compliment perfectly! They both learn from each other, Aries how to be more diplomatic, and Libra how to be more energetic. An example par excellance! Absolute joy to watch their flow!

[@hesaortflo2275]

No way, but one with jessica ballinger will be nice

[@Evergreenvic]

I adore this episode. Erik and Rachel really have BFF energy and I want more of them interacting. The abrupt "moving on" had me on the floor. 🤣

[@rachaelart]

This is the most I’ve ever heard Erik talk in complete sentences! He sounded so excited and enthusiastic! Rachel has unlocked something!

[@ChristyNicole7]

Yes because for once he wasn’t being interrupted and was allowed to articulate a complete thought without being degraded.

[@Missakiah]

I like dip in and out of watching the podcast so it’s amazing to see how much more Erik has come out of his shell. Like compared to the beginning of it- it’s like amazing

[@amandanorrisart]

Same!!!

[@AADM.1]

He is pretty funny too

[@ashleyjane6080]

I haven't watched since almost the beginning and I feel like he's a totally different person. I love seeing him come out of his shell!

[@lokew1254]

Rachel describing a normal day to Erik was a top teir segment. You could just hear and see the longing for those days in him

[@jillianwalker2349]

I am laughing so hard. I think this is the most I have seen Erik out of his shell!

[@haleyclark2094]

yeah because colleen isn’t shutting him down

[@ChristyNicole7]

@@haleyclark2094 Exactly this. For once he can have a conversation with an adult (I use the term adult lightly because Rachel is childish, but at least she can hold a conversation) and not be degraded every other second.

[@georgia673]

​@@haleyclark2094 💯😬💯😬

[@mind_palace]

But one thing I've noticed, his body language, he's putting one arm on his other arm(esp the beginning), which *could* be interpreted as being nervous and it being a 'self-hug' to comfort oneself. And his breathing was also higher and shorter than normal. It seemed like there was still that nervousness there, but still really great seeing how he's doing this so effortlessly

[@maryrush4540]

he’s definitely anxious he’s just good at covering it up lol. i have crippling anxiety and i can spot it anywhere lol

[@faeriesandrainbows]

"Who podcasts with puppets?!" 😂 Erik and Colleen do!

[@margaretshannon36]

My thoughts exactly 😂😂😂

[@JamesTalksMovies]

EXACTLY! Lol

[@delaneyt366]

I came to the comments to say the same thing lol literally had puppets of themselves

[@jessdelea4005]

Lmao erik closing his eyes to hear about her day cracked me up 😂 ...hes so funny and it comes so naturally to him

[@oliviaparivash]

This was *chefs kiss*. The more mature humor/language is somewhat refreshing for this channel. Not too vulgar but finally feels this is directed to an adult audience.

[@maddygrace17]

100%

[@sierramurphey9423]

This!!! Erik could actually say something pg13 without being reprimanded lol

[@aquariusblu]

Erik on Rachel uncensored next, will be the best thing ever 😁😝

[@thepotsiezebra]

As much as I love you Colleen, it's one of the best episodes in ages having Erik come out of his shell with Rachel. ❤

[@laurenp.4967]

Erik and Rachel both have the best comedic timing! the way they immediately can sense a joke building and play off of each other ..chefs kiss I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing

[@w_joyce]

erik’s humor and rachel’s reactions balance each other so well this was such a good episode

[@forkestgrump]

I ADORE this pairing. Please PLEASE have another podcast where you just chat! I think everyone in a relationship can relate to trying to bond with a sister/brother in law

[@TheMsSepi]

It’s SO NICE to actually hear Erik’s personality. They have great chemistry. She lets him speak!

[@rawanthebookworm1536]

I think it’s just that with Colleen because he’s so comfortable with her he just lets her take the lead, whereas Rachel is a guest on the podcast so there’s more pressure for him to lead the conversation. As an introvert I relate to Erik a lot here, I’m a lot quieter with people I’m comfortable with and more talkative with strangers (not that Erik and Rachel are strangers but they’re not as close as him and Colleen) because otherwise it’s awkward

[@TheMsSepi]

@@rawanthebookworm1536 you might be accurate. I wasn’t hating, it’s just my observation with most of the time I watch them interact… he’s talking and gets interrupted. I’m an introvert too and I’m definitely not talkative to strangers … mostly with my partner.

[@maryrush4540]

@@rawanthebookworm1536i’m the same way!

[@anacanoalonso4629]

I think the part when Rachel tells Erik about a normal day in her life is the most I've ever laughed with a podcast😂😂😂

[@tigerflamingoes4300]

i loved this combo they fit so well together humour wise i wanna see rachel and erik back on here again another time

[@claudian0510]

This is the most comfortable and out of his shell I’ve seen Erik and it was great!

[@amanda.malcolm]

"the other adults let you talk" this made me laugh so much

[@kookiesmj01]

Ikr the shade he gave 🤣🤣🤣

[@hairynailss]

thats lowkey sad 😂

[@jasmineagtarap6749]

They need a show together called AWKWARD! But in the best way. They match each other’s energy levels and as a listener it’s enjoyable. Highlight your awkward encounter of the week. Plus get to see brother and sister in laws getting to know each other on a podcast. Just sayin…

[@mikeysrose]

"Colleen just had to stop speaking, and then we could become friends." 😂

[@TammyRichardson-oo9zr]

BEST RELAX TO DATE!!!!!! More Rachel & Erik PLEASE❤❤❤❤

[@itsrebebecks]

This podcast makes me wish for a "Who knows Colleen better" game? Erik vs Rachel.😂

[@cynthiasierra6630]

This is the duo I didn't know I needed! Erik needs to be on uncensored with Rachel.

[@rachealh5860]

It’s so nice to see, SEE Erik.. hear him talk, his personality.. without interruption. Erik start your own podcast… with ‘celebrity’ guest.

[@donnagarwood6495]

no need to be so harsh

[@pushbar]

LOVE THIS EPISODE … PLEASE BRING BACK RACHEL REGULARLY! Eric and Rachel together was a great idea lol well done 👏 ❤

[@brandifulcher9797]

I'm laughing so hard at this duo I feel like Coleen will love this episode 😂😂❤️

[@margaretshannon36]

Omg they need a podcast together

[@brandifulcher9797]

This is a breath of fresh air indeed. More plz! So funny. Erik an Rachel shine together.

[@sierramurphey9423]

This was so good! Love Colleen but it was so nice having them be able to talk about adult themes without someone yelling lovey disapprovingly lol

[@ruthierodriguez444]

Umm, more Rachel and Erik please! This episode was gold!

[@sandral4814]

I really loved this episode! Haven't watched in months, but decided this might be a breath of fresh air. Loved it! I hope Rachel and Erik do more episodes together.

[@aleesiauh]

Erik and Rachel have great buddy chemistry 😂 love these two together

Rachel: "Puppets, who uses puppets?" Eric: "I don't know" Me: dying because Eric and Colleen had puppets of themselves made and have used them 😂😂😂

[@lilliepaddd9776]

you guys have made the best out of this situation, love seeing all this Erik and the Ballinger family content! We will need an episode with Erik Colleen and guests once Colleen is totally healed!

[@Bookishreststop]

The dual dimples in the podcast is giving me life

[@suomynonaanonymous]

Erik looks like he is taking care of himself more lately and looking a lot healthier!

Low key a back handed compliment lol. I know you meant well

[@Sydneyacosta504]

Please have Erik on Rachel uncensored!!!!!

YOU GUYS!!!!! This was awesome. I vote for an Erik and Rachel podcast :D

[@samdawson1098]

I love how the chemistry between Colleen's husband and her gay sister is even more fun than their own.

[@lea1jagger]

Did erik really ask “I don’t know who this book is for” after reading it suggests puppets… he DID a puppet episode… It was made for Erik 😂

[@itsMimi02]

You two need a separate podcast! I enjoyed this episode soo much! Such a great Duo 🥳

[@vernss3092]

This was a lot of fun. Rachel's energy vs Erik's was entertaining.

As a mother of a toddler, the best part of this episode was Erik’s responses while Rachel is describing her day 😂 45 minute coffee time “oof!” Lol

That was the funiest episod ever ! We need more Eric and Rachel content

[@brynn1995]

1:01:12 I know it’s hard to imagine now Erik with the kids still young, but mine are 22, 18 and 14. And other than dropping the youngest off at practices, my day is similar to Rachel’s and I’d give ANYTHING to spend that much time with the kids again. It’s true, your gonna miss this, your going want this back, your gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast (country song). Enjoy it, just as fast as you went from 1 to 3 kids you will go to one’s college graduation, and a Highschool graduation just as fast! All I can hope for is grandkids one day to feel the gap of not having 3 kids to take care of. It’s surreal when your kids grow up!!!! Savor these moments!!!❤

[@rachelfranklin8661]

I have been DYING for this collab and it is SO MUCH BETTER than I expected. I am SO EXCITED for Erik to be on Rachel Uncensored or All Things Internet.
