Fake Fruit, Weird Olympics & Colleen Smoking! // RELAX

[@patriciagallant8133]

I vote for hearing Colleen and Erik sing together more often on the podcast.

[@avery9239]

colleen 😭 just the fact you started your “what is or isn’t wild” statement with “we planted seeds” shows exactly how it’s not at all wild. wild involves no human interactions and it simply happens on its own.

[@bagel29]

Colleen’s “wild” opinions are making my head spin. Erik is completely correct

[@pfftxoxo1502]

[@akosszabo6835]

Ikr 😂 "It's wild in our backyard"

[@barbaramay97]

I think a big misunderstanding people have with the term "gmo" is they think it means what colleen is describing (scientists in a lab with a petri dish) but in reality it's a lot more like what Erik is describing (farmers and botanists cross polinating with other plants to weed out undesirable traits)

[@freelancecat]

I’ve tried explaining this to people. Most fresh produce does look the way it did years ago, growing in the wild. It’s ✨GMOoooos✨ lol blackberries were not originally the size of one’s head.

[@zervv5115]

I think both are true. GMOs nowadays use CRISPR to edit the DNA/RNA of plant cells. Then, they go plant it and use existing planting methods to grow it into a "better plant" which resists pests, yields more produce, needs less water, etc. In that way, the process of cross-pollination is expedited.

[@alibuechler2570]

YESSSSSS OMG YES

[@aprilfoat9961]

What I need you to discuss is prune juice. If a prune is a dried plum (like they took all the water out), then how is it prune juice and not plum juice?!?!

[@CoriBrown85]

Colleen, wild means they are not modified/affected by humans in any way! A pack of strawberry seeds is not WILD! Sometimes I think you just like to hear yourself argue! 😂

[@caitlinwhite958]

WHERE ARE THE PUPPETS?????

[@alwayzjello]

Every episode of the podcast: Erik: "did you do that thing in gym class?" Colleen: "no, I never took gym class." Erik: "but how about that one time... Colleen: "no"

[@sammiijohnson5340]

It’s like the information doesn’t stick😂😂😂😂

[@nicoley1286]

The Sha-doe-bidoh song was sooo good! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@c0urtn3y526]

I really want to explain farming and gmo to you, but it's incredibly complicated and long winded. A lot of things we eat have been genetically modified to prevent disease or create pest resistance or to select color and size according to edible desirability. Some fruits and vegetables that grow or occur naturally without human farming aren't edible in their basic state. It can be considered in terms of breeding plants to get bigger or more productive, and not be chemically modified, just genetically (choosing only the biggest plants to collect seeds from so that the next year's plants are all larger in size)

[@gewrgiacyp]

Colleen's definition of wild is WILD 😂 love it!

[@danielt93]

The whole pod I couldn’t stop staring at Eric’s arms. Excuse me sirrrrr 😍😍😮‍💨

[@amymc2257]

Right!?! Need to keep those badboys under wrap lol

[@danieemond9784]

Glad I'm not the only one! 😂😂😂

[@monicaaa7]

erik's arms 🔥🔥🔥

[@ColleenVlogs]

Literallyyyyyyyy 😍

[@54cathypats]

WOOOHOOO Carrots ankles ARE BACK!!!!! Also, Erik playing with Colleen’s foot is the cutest!! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@mamabecca]

Beautiful tribute to Shidobedo.

[@colleenhathaway64]

Hello…East coaster here (Massachusetts) I just wanted to say that yes we did go outside on snowy freezing cold days and I remember having to carry a plastic bag with my shoes in it so I could change into them when I got to school and we also had field day! We did things like hula hooping, 3 legged race, tug of war etc. and would win ribbons for each category (I always won first place for hula hooping and 3 legged race lol) and then we would have a huge cook out and go swimming at the community pool afterwards. It was always on the last day of school and it was so much fun!!!

[@bethbuckingham4260]

That song made me cry especially Maisy's little voice 😢❤

[@walibuthelezi6703]

You guys should do something about these amazing musical talents and creativity.. you singing your original stuff together is always my favourite..

[@aprilgeewhiz3814]

My son is a botanist for the US Forest Service. He is a native plant specialist for Oregon. So, those people still exist but now some of them specialize with the plants that were here “before”…

[@vinceperhaps]

Song was great. Has to be the best song about a moth. Erik you have a good voice for that style of song. Always liked the song Come Home by you. Keep doing songs for the podcast.

[@alwayzjello]

I love the song so much! You guys are so talented! I loved it

[@shaunythoreson2006]

Colleen needs to look up the definition of wild strawberries. Wild is not planted, it's natural to its environment or habitat. No one planted them, they just grow there. Also wild strawberries are tiny like the size of a pinky nail

[@Joy-1969]

I love hearing you two sing. Please right more songs to sing

[@Bigmamajamma382]

That last little clip with Maisie reminded me of a core memory of I have with my own mom. She played the piano and sang as well, and she had a special song she played for each of her kids. Mine was “Rainbow Connection” and I absolutely loved it when she would play and we would sing it together. ❤

[@mandisutter8598]

You all need to put an album out 👏🏼👏🏼

[@viviannereynoso3591]

I truly love sunflower seeds, and doing the work to get in the middle is so fun

[@erin723]

I love you, Erik, for being real about your earlier days. No shame or judgement to either experience. Just happy we’re being honest together. ❤

[@LexieAnne]

In Iowa, we have indoor recess when it’s raining. We play board games or with other activities in the classroom during our assigned recess time. During the winter we only go outside if it’s above 0° F. The kids bundle up in all the snow gear and play outside in the snow if there is any! 🙂

[@cstump2005]

As someone who moved to Minnesota and then had a kiddo start K let me tell you I was SHOCKED when I found out they go out for recess until the wind chill goes below -10°. NEGATIVE TEN DEGREES. Like- I’m sorry, what?? After living here for 20 years it still seems crazy.

[@kazbah1000]

I am so happy you guys are singing on the podcast! Makes me so happy!

[@michellebirriel5134]

Why did I cry for sha do bido the moth while listening to the song ? That song was great 😂!

[@sheldonanddonna]

Colleen and Erik singing together is PERFECTION. You should start a band and name it "Next Chapter".

[@breepinchbeck]

I love how Erik proceeds to ask if Colleen has smoked in all these different ways when she has said many times shes only smoked a joint 😂😂😂

[@brendasexton6831]

Okay why am I literally tearing up watching Shadobedoe’s memorial song 🥺🥺 This song is honestly slapping! 🔥

[@kirstiebrown3177]

Odds and even topic I wanna get involved. 😂 For me, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are odd. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are even (it’s a vibe thing for me too haha)

[@LadyLynn2123]

I always love watching the ice skating at the Olympics❤❤

[@LinaAshley]

14:38 I don’t care that she’s so wrong, Colleen’s explanation of the “wild strawberries” in her backyard was so cute and funny 😂 yes girl, those ARE wild strawberries!!

[@cierrablue]

That was beyond sweet. Shadobeedo. 45 year old Flynn is going to cry whenever he watches this. Bet.

[@ellenfriedmanq8672]

Eric's voice is sounding great! I love the soulful vibe.

[@isabellastaana]

instantly smiled when you guys started singing!! That was so sweet

[@ivannaot]

Colleen: we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️ Erik: who are you talking to? LMAOAOAOAOAO I CANNOT

[@anniedean8226]

I 100% agree with Colleen about Amazon Prime. It's so frustrating to pay for a service stating it will arrive in 1 or 2 days, and now it's hard to find anything that doesn't ship in less than 4 to 5 days!

[@KarlaEmmerson]

Daisy is a perfect example like the fruit 😩 she’s not ‘chemically’ produced but it’s sure not what the original cat looked like 😂

[@jeffie585]

God bless you and thank you to your whole family. You bring so much joy to my life I can't imagine a day without your videos.

[@be0mcuti3]

as a minnesotan, i remember having indoor recess on days where it was raining hard or we had INTENSE snow storms, the rest of the days we just went outside. my memories of indoor recess were staying in our classroom and playing board games with friends, reading, or just free playing in general.

[@britanyh99611]

Colleen: “What did you do for recess on a rainy day?” Eric: “You’d wear a raincoat.” 😂🤦‍♀️🤣 Correct answer: Recess is held in classroom.

[@monicaaa7]

talk about your love story! who liked who first? whats your first kiss like? was it love at first sight? 😂 love you both!

[@meganhowley1259]

I watch this podcast RELIGIOUSLY every single night before bed. it’s surprisingly very relaxing. both your voices are so soothing, especially Erik’s. ❤❤

[@jesseuguccini]

Eagerly awaiting the day we finally get a new relax theme song!! I just know it’ll be so good

[@articowl2]

I grew up in Calif and our playground was just like Colleen described. Then I moved to Alaska and my kids played outside in the winter with coats, hats, gloves and boots. When they came back inside they changed to gym shoes for indoor activities and hung up coats to dry until they walked home. Thanks for the song. It made me tear up. So amazing.

[@lisagutierrez703]

This podcast makes me so happy. The amazing random topics and the questions and the singing I always love all the components🥹💜💚

[@stayseeded]

I work at Amazon in supply chain optimization and I’m sooo curious to look into this problem 😅 Colleen you should definitely contact customer service about this problem so they can fix it for you!

[@brendasexton6831]

Okay why am I literally tearing up watching Shidobedoe’s memorial song 🥺🥺 This song is honestly slapping! 🔥

[@D-ij2ds]

I am from Minnesota and when it was snowy at recess we just had to put on snow pants, a coat, hat, and gloves and go outside anyway. It was actually fun though we would build tunnels in the snow and make huge snowballs ect. Think this is pretty normal.

[@monicaaa7]

erik rubbing colleens foot made me laugh because of how much colleen has talked about hating her foot getting touched

[@briellevlogs8847]

Ok I’m loving this Erik punk rock voice! I want more songs together! ❤

[@meghanking1]

I grew up in Vancouver Canada and it’s a temperate rainforest…if we didn’t go outside when it rained, we would never go out!! They made us go outside no matter the weather!! And it only snows occasionally here but we went outside then too! California is another world!

[@cstump2005]

Erik descibing a gravity bong made me laugh and brought back some memories 😂

[@RebeccaAltig]

On rainy days in the Midwest for recess in elementary school, we would be in the basketball gymnasium used for middle school and elementary basketball. We had two grades have recess at the same time, so one grade stayed on one half, and the other grade stayed on the other half. We had basketballs, volleyballs, kickballs (until they were too intense kicking them at people), hula hoops, and jump ropes we could have out during those times. Also the area where the bleachers were was higher up, so that was a space for kids that wanted to read or color or play hopscotch or things like that. “Quieter” recess. This was a very small rural school. I graduated with 82 other kids

[@TheSkinnyZ]

Selective breeding literally is the predecessor of modern genetic engineering.

[@kelseytabone8101]

"And then your class smells like wet kids" 😂 the way I cackled at this lmao

[@AliFinNoble]

Amazon has been driving me crazy because I will look up cotton shorts and the first 10 items are made out of polyester I'll then look up Royal Blue shirt and the first three listings are for baby blue! What's up with that It's driving me insane I'm being specific because I need them something specific

[@Skybree3]

I did not expect to get choked up listening to a song about a moth 😂 That was great!

[@JRWL82518]

Vermonter here. We had recess in all weather (unless there’s lightning or below 20 degrees) and in the winter it always took twice as long to get snow gear on than we actually go to be outside. We didn’t have a obstacle course but in middle school we got a “fitness trail” that was just various pieces of wood beams, pipe and tires half hurried in the ground and next to each was a sign describing what exercise was meant to be done. Each thing was spread out through the woods around the school. I think that day with the pull ups and stretching was the presidential fitness test?

[@luvalwaysapril]

I vote, that at the end of each podcast you guys close out with a song. Thank you 👍

[@Magencory17]

OMG, Colleen and Erik! Your silkworm song is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The musicality of it all is outstanding! I’m about to listen again and again! VERY GOOD song!

[@julesschweiger866]

We have indoor recess when it rains, the kids play outside during the winter whether it snows or not but indoor recess if it’s colder than -20 degrees Celsius. We’re from Canada

[@lauragift1020]

I grew up in Pennsylvania and we absolutely played outside in rain and snow during recess unless it was storming or heavy rain and then we just hung out in the classroom.

[@darlenegonzalez9537]

We need more of Colleen's weed stories and of course Erik's

[@clarea9412]

Colleen being surprised that the kids would be playing outside in the snow! Snow days were the most fun days!! Of course you were out playing in it 😆(From uk)

[@rebeccauy4733]

I’m from Toronto Canada and we were outside for recess if it was drizzling rain but definitely in the snow. It was rare when we stayed in and we would play games in the gym otherwise.

[@ambuhwuh]

This song is my favorite you two have made 😭😍🥰 obsessed. Also I love Erik's voice, especially on this song ❤

[@jessgilmoregirls]

Omg Erik singing is amazing

[@1figureskating]

I had to skip the second half of Colleen's argument about the chickens and strawberries in her back yard being wild it was making me so frustrated haha. Even giant Costco strawberries grow from the ground but they are the opposite of the little wild ones you find in the forest.

[@priscillamedina8580]

Born and raised on the east coast and whenever it was cold or rainy out we’d have “indoor recess” so they’d have a bunch of games out and it was kind of like a free for all time

[@ionaaaaaaa]

For kids in rainy snowy places, they do not go out in rain but they do go out in snow

[@briellevlogs8847]

Yes Erik! East Coast girlie here! Field day is elementary was the best! Are rope was in gym too! Recess in winter we would go out in the cold in coats and hats and gloves. We went out all year long! So different than Cali! Love you guys!

[@ashleyhautalamusic]

Colleen talking about her definition of wild is hilarious. Wild means it lives in the wild and fends for itself or in the case of plants, those strawberries you see on the hillside were planted there naturally by nature and the wind blowing the seeds there. That’s what wild plants are lol not just that they’re outside😂

[@sp00kyMerBabe]

Colleen! What Erik is trying to explain is that those fruits and things would not have ever occurred ”naturally” in the wild on their own without the interference of a person. Which is interesting to think about because they’re so normal today! Lol ❤

[@Kaboonga810]

Wow the song is beautiful. I neeeed it on spotify!! Rest in peace shidobido.

[@jaaystefanovic9225]

So in Canada (or Ontario atleast) we call a gravity bong a pisser. We take a juice jug, fill it with water and then we take a pop bottle and burn hole in the bottom, take the lid off the pop bottle, burn a hole through the lid, take a socket (yes like the tool part) stuff it in the hole that we burned through the lid and then go about our smoking in the forest which we called bush bashes

[@paulineroy9702]

I love the song.

[@annegreenwood3624]

pummel horse is the one with the rings it’s a very hard thing you have to have a lot of upper body strength to be able to do the routine such a fun video

[@camillahapner1745]

I agree with you on the days of the week!

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

I love you guys! I can understand that title, Colleen IS smoking hot! Oranges and Apples have been with us since antiquity. I have had wild strawberries, they are about the size of a small blueberry or a blackberry. I love how Erik plays lovingly with Colleen's foot as they argue.

[@emmaleighfish611]

I agree with Colleen. Odd in my brain is bad and even is good. Saturday and Sunday are my chill selfcare days so don't really play a factor. Monday you have the whole week ahead of you to make the most of it so obviously even, Wednesday you're halfway to Friday and know you can make it through-even, Friday is the best day hopefully it was a great week and if not, you have the weekend to decompress. Tuesday and Thursday just feel like filler and you're struggling to make it through the week- so obviously odd.

[@Kam-vz4yo]

Indoor recess!! You stay in class at your desks playing board games or whatever games you have in the classroom. Also, drawing on the chalkboard, reading, knitting, playing cards etc.

[@Delaney11965]

Hahahhahahahahah feeling the vibe 😂😊❤

[@alyssajade310]

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as fruits or chickens being grown in the lab. For me, wild means that humans don't take care of it at all, it takes care of itself. So if you plant the strawberries and you take care of the strawberries then that's not wild. If you find strawberries growing while you're hiking in the wilderness, then that's wild.

[@jennifergonzales8124]

Hi Guys! 👋 Always love when you do songs together! 🎵 So much fun! 🎶 Have a debate question for an upcoming podcast - Spaghetti 🍝 🍝 🍝 Do you like to keep your noodles and sauce separate or mix it all together before serving? A serious debate in our house 😂

[@cameramanzoomit]

I just realized that Erik's singing voice sounds a lot like Jeff Tweedy from the band Wilco.

[@Miranda_Jane]

We 100% had to play outside in the snow and rain. I live in northern Michigan.❤

[@maddiereed2171]

We used to have indoor recess and they have board games, legos, cards, etc. and snow we go out in snow gear unless it is below 0 outside

[@Copperstarr75]

I grew up in Florida, our K-8 schools had the playground you (Colleen) were speaking of.

[@sp00kyMerBabe]

COLLEEN. I have another Amazon rant because of what you said. I’ll try to sum it up short but the other day I got home from work and knew I had an order that was going to be delivered that day. I checked the site and it said 3 stops away on the little map. So once it said “you’re the next stop” I went downstairs and stood by the door waiting. I noticed TWO Amazon vehicles pull up a moment later DIRECTLY in front of my house. They were there for about 15-20 minutes with one of the drivers just sort of moving packages around but nothing was actually delivered anywhere to any houses. The first vehicle pulled away and left and then a few minutes later the other one followed. I checked my phone and they went farther and farther away from my house. The status changed to saying something like “there’s a few more deliveries until your stop.” I was like WTF they were right in front of my house! Why did they leave?! After 3 phones calls I made to customer service and getting bounced around no one would give me an answer as to why they did this and just kept assuring me it was still out for delivery. I’m like I KNOW THAT BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHY THEY DID THAT. Lol. Like it doesn’t make sense what the hell you were right here! Anyways my stuff got delivered like an hour or two later but what the freak! 🤬

[@sammiijohnson5340]

I love my sunflower seeds 💛💛💛😂

[@MochaSoEvergreen]

What a great conversation. 😬

[@bedofstars]

I grew up on the east coast (PA) and we would have indoor recess if it was really bad weather! We’d stay in our classroom and the teacher had board games and probably other toys. Or we’d draw on the chalk board. In 4th grade we had this super old computer in our classroom (this was the 90s and the computer was old lol) and it had Family Feud on it, so we’d play that, too. I think some kids had their own little toys or like Magic or Pokemon cards. But I’d mainly play board games

[@JulieMossTheAftermathOne]

So when are you and Carrot going to make a whole album of your songs?! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shadowkissed2370]

When they say "man made" they are not talking about made from a lab or machine in a factory they are just talking about cross pollination and isolated growing.
