Colleen’s hair is EVERYTHINGGGGG this episode!!

[@starrynight892]

OMG yes

[@leelee3499]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@kendraa8289]

The curls look so pretty

[@malories.1455]

And that top on her!! Love it!!

[@aprilmiller7601]

YES! Came to the comments to say this and was so stoked to see others already hyping her up!

[@mireille6204]

Watching Eric tell Colleen she cant wink when hes the one that cant is hilarious

[@ericvlogsnow]

colleen choosing not to tell Erik he can’t wink is killing me lol

[@ericvlogsnow]

all while he’s telling her she can’t wink and she’s literally doing it! haha

[@007janerussell]

Do you think blinking is winking 😂

[@akastardust]

@@ericvlogsnow but are either of them good at it? I would say not.

[@tinalogan365]

the word “winking” has been said so many times it doesn’t even sound like a word anymore 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

[@Annalie0842]

I was just thinking that 😂

[@Priickless]

Omg i thought the same thing, it started weirding me out. It’s a strange word 😂

[@Ambersworld720]

"there's tongue and lip action, no teeth" wise words to live by 🤣🤣

[@SuperMusicalPassion1]

😂😂😂😂

[@brandi01394]

Colleen: “Light red is just PINK” Me: wait until she hears about light black 😆💜

[@amanda.malcolm]

I actually bite the inside of my cheek and tongue often as well. So you are not alone Erik.

[@sngray11]

Same!

[@SweetieMcPetey]

It’s the worst! Then your cheek swells and you’re more likely to bite it multiple times.

[@cherrywinterberry]

Always takes days to heal too :(

[@COURTSamaziing]

I do too… I’m pretty sure it’s an anxiety thing

[@melissacoviello2886]

Same. I do it constantly. It’s an anxious thing for me.

[@RebeccaMeekPhotography]

Me: trying to wink. Erik: surely everyone is trying to wink right now

[@keepcalmanddanceon9128]

Colleen not connecting Rihanna's last name with Fenty beauty 😂

[@stephah359]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@jnbg61584]

same, and then hearing her first name being Robyn got her attention, and erik continued with other names

[@allyfiwnwknw]

omg i thought the same thing

[@bell.videography]

Drake Ramoray is Joey’s soap opera character name on Friends 😂 that’s probably why Colleen subconsciously thought of Ramoray

[@AwesomeCat2012]

I know! I was like... wow, Friends has been embedded into her brain, and she didn't even realize it. 😂

[@ms2017able]

i was guessing the same😂

[@Lorrpan]

Hahahahah my first thought was ”Erik was a Seinfeld Guy…” 😂😂😂

[@meredith1313]

Colleen guessed “Ramoray” because Dr. Drake Ramoray is Joey’s soap character on Friends 😂

[@maeganlangley2174]

Agrees on one thing in almost 100 episodes with nutter butter “Lovey we are so alike” I’m dead😂

[@sngray11]

Erik, I don’t blame you for avoiding that salad shop after seeing an employee blow their nose into the trash can and wipe the remnants on their hand! 😱🙊 And I hate when I bite the inside of my cheek! And pizza Lunchables are so much butter heated up! 💗

[@giabarrone7422]

Ever since I had to get a series of Hepatitis shots as a kid after eating at a local pizza chain, I am I much more discerning about restaurants.

[@melrhea12]

One hour is never long enough for these podcasts!! I’m obsessed!!

[@I_Am_because_God_Is]

It’s not long enough because of all the ads 😅

[@ruifrancisco]

They really are the best couple fr. Ahhh I love them

[@katieweeman5007]

My favorite part was how Erik genuinely was heartily laughing at Flynn’s adorable/funny phrases

[@Valentina-km1hz]

Eriks laugh is everything 😄💜

[@candicepye]

it's so surreal to see Flynn spelling! time flies

[@delaneyevers45]

I am NOT grossed out by booger/poop stories! I don’t get a lot of true comedy in my life and I love listening to you guys talk about this stuff! Please don’t stop just because some people don’t like it. Much love, D 💚❤️

[@justjoanna__7334]

Please never stop making this podcast 🙏

[@amyy16ox]

One of the best parts of being a 28 year old adult is being able to go get a extra cheese pizza lunchable whenever I want

[@amyy16ox]

Ok also HOW can you say pb ritz bitz is better than the cheese (one of my go to snacks) HOW

[@peacelover2023]

Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen are in the worst famine they have EVER faced. A dirty food tray in first class is an absolute privilege... please dont lose sight of your humility and how incredibly lucky you are.

[@leonidasreviews2912]

I live for these random topic congratulations! Future topic suggestions: pizza toppings, house features that make the perfect house, and sandwiches

[@russd3029]

The FRIENDS reference at 38:25 is everything!!

[@janicemichaloski5292]

Flynn is so cute love when he joins you 🥰

[@oliviapinter9478]

I was having an anxiety attack & crying freaking out, and watching your podcast helped me calm down and "relax" lol so thank you guys

[@movielady28]

I have a large collection of marbles. When someone tells me "you've lost your marbles" I just say... "No they're in that container on the shelf" I have a theory.... Flynn is actually Miranda and Patrick's kid. Wes and Maisy are Colleen and Erick's kids.

[@mpdaugherty8549]

The podcast is everything. All so fun, entertainment at its best!

[@23lemons]

You two could do a three hour podcast and I would 100% watch it through in one go, I love it so much.❤️

[@TheAshleyDewey]

The way Colleen described pizza lunchables 😂😂😂

[@Jenny3fifteen]

Hearing Flynn just beatbox 🎶👦🏼💙🎤during mar ball of the day just made my Saturday night!! 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jdboy2000]

I love almost every aspect of this podcast. Sometimes it seems like people get talked over a bit, but that is a problem in every podcast. I watch the podcast every week, usually at the end of the day. Anytime Flynn appears for a few minutes to share something amazing with us, I can't help but feel all the stress from the day leave my body and I just have to smile at how adorable, intelligent, talented and insightful he is. Colleen, Erik, and the village that's raising their kids with them are doing a great job. I love seeing the kids and the extended family (that includes Kory and others too) all the time on the vlogs. I cheer every time the kids reach a milestone, have a new experience, or one of the kids laughs. I truly appreciate having the opportunity to get a glimpse at such a lovely family, as I'm not close to anyone in my family beyond my nuclear one. You're all so lucky to have the opportunity to know your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., and live near enough to them to have close relationships.

[@giabarrone7422]

I wish their nanny would be a bigger part of the Vlogs, I am so curious about her!

[@melrhea12]

I bite the inside of my lips and cheeks constantly! I hate it but yet I can’t stop lol

[@Zeldybear]

When Erik talked about living in the northeast and seeing Sonic commercials even though we didn’t have a Sonic anywhere nearby I was like OMG YES!!! Now there are a few Sonics in CT but the commercials aired long before that happened.

[@andreaa5647]

Colleen!! The chocolate dipped chocolate foster’s freeze is EVERYTHING!!

[@jenniferbridi7678]

The pediatrician I got to has a sick area where parents sit with your kids. It is a separate room from the waiting room for the non-sick patients which I love.

[@nicholeleonardo9084]

Guys! I just thought I’d give you a piece of advice although I’m sure you have thought about it before❤️ when my brother and I were younger he was about 9 and I was 5, he was playing with marbles, not sure why but he was throwing them up in to the air. Somehow one landed right in his mouth. I rushed o to tell my mom and grandma, they were trying so hard to get it out but he was choking on it for so long we almost lost him. Anyway now I have a lovely nephew who is not allowed to play with marbles as a result of his trauma. I realize marbles are so cool and such a fun toy, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to share that the way marbles are made, it is extremely hard to try to dislodge it from our throats and it’s something we would’ve never known had it not been because of that experience. Love your podcast!

[@carlypastore]

“Grab it and go and eat it standing over kids” 😂

[@ke3516]

Erik, thank you for being open about your experience seeing that employee. I have done the same and stopped ordering once I saw unhygienic behavior. No matter how gross the description is, it's a reality more people should be aware of regarding hygiene among workers in the food industry. Colleen, even if you're grossed out it's a reality people need to hear.

[@dohraime140]

Erik uncomfortable about dong the Oreo communication but then ends up doing a double stuf Oreo. 😄 Colleen was a good sport about it. Therapists calling it an Oreo is new to me. I’ve only known it as a shit sandwich lol.

[@stephanieprovost6986]

YES! My teeths hate the inside of my mouth TOO!!! I sympathize with Erik hahaha

[@krystalgodwin2513]

I was definitely trying to wink 😉 while you guys were talking about if you could do it or not. I’m not good at all and when on the spot told to wink it would definitely go horribly wrong haha 😂

[@christybourque8251]

When my oldest was Flynn’s age she use to call Lizards - Liza-Bert’s ! My husband now calls her that as Nick name sometimes 😂 she is almost 13 now! And a contraction was a line traction that she had when she had trouble pooping 😂! Y’all are going to look at these funny names and remember them forever! I know I do!

[@sharonzona4346]

Erik- I bite the inside of my cheeks and lips all of the time! Once you've bitten it you do it over and over because it swells up. It's so annoying! I think your RELAX was right on the money!!

[@allyfiwnwknw]

the SECOND eric said “the red stick” the image of those crackers came right to my head. so nostalgic

[@brizzzyb]

I am a current dental student and I remember learning about how wisdom teeth coming in can result in you biting your cheeks more than normal! I wonder if that is why Eric keeps biting his cheek 🤔

[@ApeEscape7]

I feel like Flynn always does the Miranda side smile and it makes me so happy for the future

[@garrettflores5827]

You guys… Eminem is named that because his name is Marshall Mathers (M&M.)

[@tayygordo]

My daughter calls gabbys dollhouse “gabby cat!” 😂

[@chloecole2274]

Not Drake Ramorey 😭😭😭😭😭 joeyyyy from friendsssss

[@nahomidiaz]

Fun fact about shasta cola: In my country shasta cola had a promo where they gave away clocks and they were so bad quality that now when something is bad quality or someone is mean we (mainly in my city) say "that's so shasta"

[@EscapeReality94]

I’m just going to reply on everything and hope you see this one day lol I watched the RELAX podcast #73 and did a reverse image search on the painting erik loved. It is called, “The Ark” By: Kevin Sloan

[@karinmitschang9734]

Colleen: Don't talk about snot or I'm gonna gag Also, Colleen spent the last decade making everyone gag with her constant burping as Miranda

[@morganfern29]

Flynn is so darn adorable. I love how he says marble.

[@ShaylaSkye]

The excitement I have waking up to you guys posting 🥰

[@hannahstuermer235]

THE GIANT CYLINDER SCOOPS OF CHOCOLATE MALTED CRUNCH ICE CREAM ARE MY CHILDHOOD IM SO GENUINELY HAPPY YOU BROUGHT UP THRIFTY’S

[@garzafam8065]

I love you guys!!! I think I finally found my Erik!!!

[@kerriexx]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Erik’s humour LOL omg he’s hilarious and his commentary is everything 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@matracadelacruz4942]

You're not alone Erik i bite the inside of my cheek all the time when eating. It sucks.

[@brookevoltattorni3108]

I love how he's dressing up as a girly character but you guys don't not let him do it or shame him. Many parents that aren't like you guys wouldn't let their little boy dress up like that. because it will turn him "gay" or something stupid. Love you guys. BEST parents ever. Totally inspire me to be the same

[@allisonpineo]

HAHA wait when Colleen guessed Ramoray as Drake’s last name neither of them realized she had Dr Drake Ramoray in her head like Joey’s character in Days of Our Lives on Friends

[@tsunamimami1]

I 1000000000 percent was winking the entire time y’all were talking about it lol

[@carlylivingston5785]

The key to a good wink is a smirk that goes up on the same side that you wink on. With no smirk- it’s just a twitch

[@renners7]

Lol @ Colleen re: Eric and his snot strories .. we all know they’d be appreciated by Miranda 😂

[@frankiep984]

lol, I was SO winking at my phone till you asked if I was and then I felt self conscious even though I’m alone in my room.

[@generationslow6122]

Ahahahha i’m trying to wink in the train. I hope none saw me 😂

[@amberh4656]

Drake Ramoray - Dr Drake Ramoray is Joeys character on days of our lives from FRIENDS 😂😂😂

[@kingaczarnow]

Colleen is actually right - pink is called "lyserød" in danish which literally translates to light red.

[@amandaxjune613]

Cackling at Erik describing Colleens crafting messes cause I’m EXACTLY the same way 🤣

[@Prettykitty96]

Erik saying there’s no carls Jr, Jack in the box and Sonic on the east coast is wild because there definitely is all 3 of these here 😅

[@baileymarlowe4547]

That's SO TRUE about the Sonic commercials!!! I'm from Massachusetts and we get Sonic commercials all the time but I've never seen a Sonic irl. So crazy

[@lorimartin3827]

It sounds like Eric's bite is off. He needs to have his dentist adjust his jaw/bite. It would stop him from biting the inside of his mouth.

[@ivannac1540]

Colleen saying Drake Romoray 😂 it’s frond FRIENDS!

[@NicoleMcMahon1227]

The first "cool kid lunch food" I thought about was dunkaroos and I'm so glad Erik also chose dunkaroos

[@ebonyhernandez4563]

as a california native I can't believe colleen said rite aids ice cream is not good quality. it's incredible and very much is flavorful lol

[@victoriagonzales2763]

COLLEEN GET THIS! There are people who actually ate pizza lunchables cooked in the microwave 🤮 wiiiilllld

[@CrystalRocksThis]

Saturday Relax podcast ! I’ll take it 🎉

[@jescristiano1916]

I think it's pronounced FAY ERTEE not fay hurt ee

[@FuriousDinosaur123]

Colleens hair is absolutely INCREDIBLE this episode and Erik is 100% giving Matt from Good Trouble, he's in full character mode

[@sammywhite2476]

"On purpose?!" Haha I love them

[@dkfkf6720]

No one called her and told her they stopped watching, she just can’t stand to listen to anything about boogers. Yet if Erik felt that strongly about poop discourse, she’d 100% still continue to talk about it. Ugh she’s so damn disrespectful to him.

[@Kazrussell03]

Hey Erik and Colleen. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all the laughter the excitement and adventures you give us. Whenever I'm having a bad day I always look to your guys videos. This channel and Colleen's channels really help me through hard times and I need to relax, escape and unwind. Thank you for been here and thank you for been you. Never stop uploading love you guys.

[@makaylamiller9235]

Mini Oreos are literally my favorite. I gasped out loud when Colleen said they were foul!

[@kaliallen8584]

Yesss colleen I remember getting the foam jack-in-the-box toppers for the antenna! And Arby's fries are absolutely delicious. Btw I also was so jealous of the kids with pizza lunchables, did you ever look into the nacho ones? Because those were my jam for a while

[@dkfkf6720]

Colleen is so damn rude and nasty with her facial expressions and eye rolling towards Erik. She can’t talk about poop all the damn time, but he gets stoned to death if he talks about boogers.

[@makaylad1721]

would you guys be willing to talk more about the process of looking for a house?? Describe the houses you’ve looked at vs your perfect house for your fam, and would love to know if you’re looking for your forever home!!!!

[@anitavargas5839]

My dad used to collect those jack in the box antenna toppers! 🤣 Also, the only time my parents would let us eat lunchables was when we would go on field trips and had to take a lunch with us for the trip! We didn’t have much money so those were a treat for sure!

[@CodstersCamera]

i feel so called out i was literally looking in the mirror and winking when they said everyone listening is winking 😭

[@mimig7553]

“I’ll be right back” *ad plays* wow such a naturally talented host!

[@kyleefontaine4392]

Erik us round face people tend to bite our cheeks when we’re just existing because we got some extra squish 😂

[@Haleywaley16]

Yes to Jack n the box antenna toppers! My parents used to get them. Also, collecting the chihuahuas from Taco Bell!

[@kiannathevirgo]

Pizza combos are so bomb! And don’t neglect the nacho lunchable! 😂

[@periwatson4142]

I love them too! And the cheese ritz crackers…😅

[@makenarose5933]

Colleen maybe you could bring a little trash bag in your bag for your trash so when you are done put it in the bag, tie it up and put on the floor until they come to take it so it’s out of the way and you can put your tray up when finished. I like having little bags like that so I can keep my space tidy because it is so small. Then you are not waiting on anyone and have control. Xo

[@brittenyslyparry7642]

I remember the whole Jack in the box thing when I was little, about a bunch of people getting sick

[@siljehelsengreen2462]

idea for an intro after the intro song together: helloooooo colleen: and welcome to.. erik: relax, the podcast colleen: where we talk about nothing and everything erik: and in the meantime try to relax a little colleen: we’re your hosts, erik stocklin erik: and colleen ballinger together: enjoy!!

[@gabbywarwick6635]

Lol I just realized how Erik says salad, is the same style how Flynn pronounces words 😂 it’s so cute!!!

[@allisonpineo]

I don’t hear anything different about the way he says salad and now I want to know how you say it 😂

[@gabbywarwick6635]

@@allisonpineo 😂😂😂 I guess cause he says “Sal-LAD” and I say it “Sa-LED” maybe? Lol idk he has some accent or something with certain words to me😂😂😂

[@SingingGal83]

Walgreens now owns Rite Aid!! YEARS ago I worked at Rite Aid & you couldn't pay me to work there again!!! The employees are treated HORRIBLY!!! The break room is basically a closet, SUPER DUPER small. I used to work in an ice cream shop & this is the worst thing that an ice cream server can do! For him to not even ask you is so wrong on so many different levels, when we had people ask us to flip their chocolate covered or butterscotch covered or cherry covered cone in a cup we absolutely hated to do it because that is not how it should be eaten!!!

[@kaile5050]

winked my way through this vid, thanks for the practice, lol

[@darrianingham889]

I haven’t eaten pizza combos since I was maybe 8, today I had a random craving for them and munched down on them while Erik very vividly explained his disgust for them 😂😂 timing couldn’t be better

[@KW93747]

You can microwave lunchable pizzas you don’t have to eat them cold lol

[@williajk88]

Soda debate: Glass bottle, can, fountain, plastic bottle.

[@khyla9308]

Haha the Seinfeld airplane bits😂
