Omg I agree with Erik on the embarrassment of having a soap or sanitizer empty and it just poofs air at you and you have to awkwardly accept the rejection and keep going. 🤣🤣🤣

[@morganmiller8010]

I also agree. Ugh. 🤣

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Hilarious 😂😂😂

[@Cutiepenguin42]

It's especially embarrassing when you have to cross paths with other people walking by to get to the dispenser, only to find that it's empty.

[@Sweetpete2889]

Totally agree!

[@brandycotton86]

Erik, you did an amazing job with the last Podcast! I really enjoyed it.

[@12356fgtyyf]

Same here😄

[@alwayzjello]

At 30:22: Colleen, "this must have been your other girlfriend, I don't remember this." Erik, "no, it wasn't her." Subtle joke that made me chuckle. I love this kind of banter.

[@calicat1996]

Coming from a nurse I HIGHLY recommend Erik gets a sleep study test, I believe there's even ways to get a kit and do it from your own home and have someone read the data after. You 99% likely have sleep apnea, and a CPAP can make the world of a difference, you'll also wake up feeling more refreshed. (Also they aren't all mouth and nose masks, you can get ones that just cover the nose). Once patients start using a cpap (continuous positive airway pressure)they usually can't sleep without it! It's crazy how low people will desat in their sleep every night and that's just their normal. Unless treated it will cause unpleasant current side affects (I.e. fatigue, restless sleeps, etc), as well as long term affects (increased risks for heart attacks, strokes, etc) and generally shorten your life expectancy to a degree. There's actually a lot of people who have sleep apnea and many just don't know

[@faeriesandrainbows]

Yes! My CPAP mask covers just the nose and is pretty unobtrusive to me.

[@heathergould8632]

My home test showed nothing and an in clinic sleep study showed severe sleep apnea-best to do in a sleep clinic. With the nose coverage you would need to get use to sleeping with your mouth closed-takes a bit of learning.

[@calicat1996]

@@heathergould8632 absolutely. An at home test is better than nothing, but a sleep test in a sleep clinic is definitely better than an at home test.

[@missconstrues]

As another person in the medical field, I'd like to second your medical evaluation and add that aside from sleep apnea, there are other treatable issues that could be causing snoring such as the anatomy of the mouth and sinuses such as a deviated septum, small jaw, polyps, or enlarged tongue, adenoids, tonsils, or uvula, as well as other things like allergies, nasal congestion, medication, or alcohol consumption.

[@jewelz00]

Thank you, was looking for this comment! 👏🏼🥺 Snoring every night is not funny but actually dangerous to one’s health. Erik, you would get used to the mask and it’s totally worth it for your well-being!

[@ruifrancisco]

[@lovelovey4u]

OMG YESSS! I never really comment but a paranormal episode would be so cool!! I'd put my whole life on pause just to listen to it lol. WE NEED that episode 💖

[@sngray11]

I really want a paranormal episode too! 💗 But I do agree with Erik about the Ouija Board. Only dark and negative energies and entities can be contacted through one of those which is why I won’t ever own or use one ever again because I had some messed up stuff happen when I used one when I was younger.

[@HannahMaltony]

Hi Colleen and Erik! Dental hygienist here. Snoring is usually caused by an airway issue. I would talk with your doctor about getting a sleep study just to be on the safe side. Although a CPap is usually the best way to treat sleep apnea, there are other options like a mouth guard sleep appliance (different than a night guard). Talk to your dentist too! I love y’all and this podcast so much!

[@JoMorton]

Have always found it so cute/funny that Colleen over-pronounces her T's - just picked up that Erik is doing it now too. These two are just adorable.

I would love for them to do a paranormal episode as well! 🥰

[@LilWaxi]

Yesss!

[@hannahweiss5435]

colleen and erik!! i recently found out i have pretty severe sleep apnea! i didn’t think i would be able to sleep with the mask on, but once i got used to it, the positives (not feeling exhausted the entire day, better mental health, etc.) outweighed the negatives (uncomfortability wearing a mask, adjusting your night routine, etc.)! happy to talk more about it if you have more questions!

[@jewelz00]

ping for visibility! ✨ thanks for sharing your experience!

[@emmalilymae]

" why did you wake me up I wasn't sleeping" then why did you wake up if you weren't sleeping. That quote gets me because if you are awake you wouldn't have been snoring. And don't be embarrassed. If you snore then that means you could either be congested or have a stuffed nose. loveeee you two. Y'all always make me laugh. Thank you for everything and once again making me laugh

[@emiko8235]

Hi Colleen and Erik! I just wanted to say that your podcast brings me so much joy in the week, I often find myself rewatching old podcasts to fill in time till the next episode comes! I listen to you guys when I drive, doing laundry, cooking, literally everything! Love you guys!

[@fogums]

Yes please, do a paranormal episode - lots of people have experiences, so I'd love to hear yours.

[@emeegeeehen]

1:13:42 I agree with Erik that you should get rid of the ouija board in your house, and I especially don’t think you should use it (if you kept it). Never open an invitation to entities to come into your life or your home; you don’t want to encounter something malicious. You have kids, so imo it’s not good to risk exposing your children to that.

[@MCLOVESTEA]

Colleen you need to start recording Erik when he's sleeping😂

[@anaisbananas5360]

I love this space because you guys feel like my friends. With a 2 year old, 9 month old twins, and being 5 months pregnant I have no social life😭

[@shirinpatel1148]

Congratulations!!!

[@rizzecca]

I honestly loved the solo podcast episode with Erik. I watch the vlogs but don't normally watch the podcasts, but it was really nice getting to see Erik talking about his thoughts and things on his own. I've dealt with social anxiety my whole life and I can't stand being the center of attention like that, so it made me feel like I could relate to him, and it was such a fun watch!

[@melrhea12]

This is hands down the best podcast in the world! I’ve seen every single episode!

[@23daretobelieve]

Erik honey I am listening 😂😂😂😂 I tune in every single week and actually enjoyed quite a lot your solo episode!!

[@jodi8068]

I agree with Eric ! I recently went from Oregon to California on a weekend road trip and counted 17 hand sanitizer dispensers that were empty. The motel had them outside the elevator and inside the elevator. Gas station restrooms, rest stops, 2 restraunts . The breakfast area at the hotel. The casino had multiple free standing sanitizer stations AND ALL WERE EMPTY !!

[@aleceaclendening5857]

i’m so aware of moosey this episode 😂 he’s just back there pullin the stuffing out of his toy and then colleen bumps him with his chair and he just moves out of the way 🥹 such a good dog

[@jennypettway3819]

Regarding the concern of Erik's snoring... it may be worth exploring tonsils and adenoids removed. I used to snore so badly growing up and when I was 17 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea due to enlarged tonsil/adenoids. I never experience true sleep before their removal.... highly recommended

[@MoevHope]

Awesome cameo with moose in the background 😆 this is probably the earliest i had watch/listen to the podcast

Actually, sleep apnea causes trouble sleeping. And snoring is a HUGE sign of sleep apnea as well as drooling sometimes… so if you drool that’s a sign. I work in a residential home and we have some of the most stubborn people get one and after a month of acclimation they start to sleep amazingly with the machine.

CNA here 🙋🏻‍♀️ and nurse in the making! Cutting fingernails for my elderly patients is something that when I’m at work, I’m embraced that I have to do it, there is no disgust, remorse or any bad feelings in general. When it comes to do it on myself, I hate it with my life, nails gross me out so much no matter who it is. But it’s almost like a switch on my brain when I’m working, those things don’t gross me out, and as a CNA I see and smell a lot of things… 😳 outside of work, hate it, gross, I would never. Weird how that works! My work brain needs to relax 🥹

Definitely one of my favourites last week. The top being Erik recalling the birth of the twins... Basically love hearing Erik tell stories.

[@kaylaarndt3407]

Nail clipping HORROR story. I was trimming my 4 month old daughters nails the night before her open heart surgery. I managed to nick her skin and started spiraling in a panic that her surgery would get cancelled due to an ‘open wound’. I even called the cardiologist on call to make sure everything would be ok. It all ended up being okay, but I will no NEVER trim her nails. She also has a twin brother, so shoutout to dad who takes on that duty!

[@katiek1856]

1:08:41 easy fix for the light switch is take the cover off, unscrew the switch from the metal bracket and do a 180 degree turn and now it’s in the correct on/off position. Screw it back on to the metal plate and put the cover back on. Issue solved.

SO hypnosis is cool because you can really only be hypnotized if you’re willing. Erik can be hypnotized if he truly wants to be. You were able to be hypnotized because you were open to it. Hypnosis isn’t someone taking over control of your body, it’s actually just you lowering your mental walls and being more open to their suggestion. You are choosing to do the things they ask you to do, but in the state of hypnosis, if that makes sense.

[@brandeerodriguez8536]

Erik saying “who’s saying this!??” Is me when Colleen says she receives negative comments about her wanting bangs.

Erik, I work at a small table top game store in Vancouver, Wa called Dice Age Games. We do not have a hand sanitizer dispenser, but we do to keep a large bottle of eucalyptus scented hand sanitizer on our register counter. And we replace it when it is empty. You are more than welcome to come to our shop and use some hand sanitizer.

Many years ago I lived in my husband's grandparents apartment after they passed. I never had met his grandpa. I swear one day I saw a man go from the bathroom to the kitchen. My husband wasn't home. I told my sister in law and she went pale. Her grandpa used to always say he saw a woman in the room that I was in. 😳 I think of it as our way of meeting through time.

I JUST ranted about the hand sanitiser thing. For me it wasn’t embarrassment tho… it was ANNOYING that I TOUCHED it and there was nothing in it. So I touched something that lots of people have also touched to get hand sanitiser and gotten none and I CANT SANITISE MY HANDS SO IM WORSE OFF THAN I WAS BEFORE I TRIED TO SANITISE IN THE FIRST PLACE

[@jrpg_rachel]

My weird ick is I REFUSE to drink anything that’s been put in a cup holder. Because dust & stray hairs etc get in cup holders & it disgusts me. In cars, Ubers, or on trains or planes etc. If my drink gets put in a cup holder by whoever I’m with (trying to be helpful) I’ll genuinely feel disgusted & won’t be able to drink it!! But I’ve yet to find anyone who else with this !! 😭😭😭😭

You told that story in your Orlando meet and greet! I remember because I was the girl in the front row with purple pants and flower hair clips that said it might be faulty wiring because it’s such an old house. It could very much be haunted but maybe just have an electrician look at it so you can know for a fact whether it’s the wiring or if it’s a ghost. It might give you more peace of mind or not I was just trying to be helpful I promise. On an unrelated note Kory said he loved my ballerina flower tattoo and being raised in a culture of tattoos being very taboo hearing kory say that he likes something I specifically chose to put on my body forever felt so validating.
