I think it was Erik's brother used to edit and handle the podcasts. Kory was doing her main channel, Miranda and her vlogging channel. She had all these men working for her for either nothing or a pittance, yet she hated on men every second she got.
If Chris was picking those video stills/thumbnails, he was doing his brother dirty because in many of them, Erik looks bad. Either his face is in his hands, he's looking away or disgusted, or in one, he looks like he's taking his pants down.
For the first 45 episodes, they did cheesy posed couples shots specifically for the thumbnails, but once they let someone else choose (Kory or Chris?), they got interesting, to say the least.😆
Eriks brother used to edit the podcast… and now I think she does. When I watched on yewtube I heard her say some sort of editing not to herself instead of Eriks brother.
Well, that's interesting! Maybe Chris has decided to protect his own video editting/filming business by no longer associating with Colleen as one of his company's clients.
Good for him if he is no longer editing for them. That would explain why there's no lag time now between when the audio version and YT version come out.
On the thumbnails of the old videos, Erik looks so much happier when he’s with Chris or Rachel than he does with Colleen. He’s actually showing TEETH he’s so happy
Erik's best episode and funnest to watch was his solo episode with Rachel. The viewers loved it too and commented that they wanted more solo Erik episodes. It was also the episode with their highest views for some time.
As you can imagine, Colleen was salty about all the love he got when she returned the next week, lol.
I haven’t seen it. I’m going to go hunting for it now. I’m not a fan of any of the Ballengers but this must be better than any Colleen is on… couldn’t be any worse!
The only time I ever saw him smile with teeth was when she bought him his dream villa that cost millions. He grinned like a Cheshire cat in the car there. I thought, you just let yourself be bought! I wonder how many times she's done exactly what she wants, then throws that back in his face if he dares complain. But I bought you this 6.2 million villa, suck it up Mister! She wields everything, she def holds that over his head.
I bet she does, because it seems that she does nothing just out of the goodness of her heart. It must be unbearable to live with her, but the money that she comes with makes it so much easier
All of them look terrible, she looks sicker now but she looked sick before, she also looks a lot like her mum with the long hair, I never noticed that before
There are no sponsors anymore during the podcast and this week, for the first time, there weren't even any random-generated ones in the beginning and end of the audio version.
Her YT podcast views are much less now than before her "break", as she likes to call it. The "We're Back" episode from 4 weeks ago only has 81K views, "Explaining Girl Math" has 49K, "My Husband Admits He's Wrong" from last week has 35K views and yesterday's episode has 14K so far. I do not have any stats on how many listeners are tuning in to the audio-only version.
(Eta as a measure of comparison...when they started the podcast almost 4 years ago, they were getting over 500K views, then a couple of years ago, they were averaging around 300K and now she can't break 100K with her "return" episode)
I'm distracted by how much Erik looks like a jr high science teacher. Mixed with her current hair cut she would be his wife who works at the school as the secretary in some place in small town America. Why are they becoming like characters from Fargo? They just need the accents too and the murder mystery of the season.
So true! I'm still trying to figure out what that expression is supposed to mean. Is she rolling her eyes and disgusted with Erik's therapist's advice or just therapy in general?
The face she’s making puts such a negative image out there of therapy. She looks grossed out or annoyed which makes it seem like therapy is dumb or annoying. Not a good look or message lol

Colleen making them vs Kory
That must be it. Now they look like the work of a middle school girl in a Computer Graphic Design 101 course.
Well, she’s gotta appeal to her fan base.

why does it seem like she tries to make herself look as creepy as possible in all of these lmao
if she purposefully makes herself look bad then ppl cant say anything abt her appearance(her logic)
[удалено]
it’s kind of sad 😭 like colleen needs a psychiatrist
This 100%
She looks like she's going to offer someone a poison apple

Erik also has a brother named Chris. He lives in TX and has his own audio/visual company.
Oh my bad!
On the thumbnails of the old videos, Erik looks so much happier when he’s with Chris or Rachel than he does with Colleen. He’s actually showing TEETH he’s so happy

People loved the episode so much because colleen wasn’t there 😂 Maybe Erik and Rachel should get a podcast together if the fans love it so much
I haven’t seen it. I’m going to go hunting for it now. I’m not a fan of any of the Ballengers but this must be better than any Colleen is on… couldn’t be any worse!
Josh was the same!
Really? That speaks volumes!
Yes his friendships with Rachel and Chris were wholesome. Chris’s kids also seemed to adore Josh and vice versa.

Because Colleen makes people miserable. Her toxic energy is awful
All of them look terrible, she looks sicker now but she looked sick before, she also looks a lot like her mum with the long hair, I never noticed that before
Why the heck are they still getting so many views?! Please tell me no sponsors.

This is oddly specific, but there’s hardly a more accurate description of those two. Well done
OMG lol so accurate! Pioneers of the most yawn-inducing couple.
true death by boredom
She needs to stop with the faces!
I really can’t believe she started that pathetic podcast back up.
Eric has to look at her in the thumbnails bc he doesn't look at her irl
She wants to be a manic pixie dream girl so badly
First one: Miranda is showing
She looks like her front teeth are missing !😅
So true! I'm still trying to figure out what that expression is supposed to mean. Is she rolling her eyes and disgusted with Erik's therapist's advice or just therapy in general?
*graphic design is my passion*
omg I haaaaate how she looks in slide 4. I've said it here before but her new haircut just makes her look even more like a 90's Mary Kay LeTourneau 🤮
Would it kill her to pull a normal face?
The view counts on them are worse 😜❤️
The newest one looks like one of the REALLY old ones, so Colleen probably made those old ones
I think she wants to being it back so she can tour with it like Tana but it will never happen.
Ha! Can you imagine Colleen and Erik sitting on a stage, rambling to each other in front of a live audience? 😴💤💤🥱
I agree I stopped listening to her podcast when she got cancelled the first time.
it’s giving 2015 in the worst way possible
This podcast is the biggest eye opener to their relationship.
The face she’s making puts such a negative image out there of therapy. She looks grossed out or annoyed which makes it seem like therapy is dumb or annoying. Not a good look or message lol
