About the Holderness Family
The Holderness Family creates original music, parodies, and Vlogs for KZbin to poke fun of themselves and celebrate the absurdity in circumstances most families face in their day to day life. They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie). Penn, Kim, Lola, and Penn Charles publish music videos, Vlogs and special KZbin challenges to this channel every Tuesday and Friday. Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments, suggestions and special requests! Subscribe to be part of this crazy family! SUBSCRIBE!

Suggested this to my husband, he stared at me, blinked and said “but it’s football season”. 😂🤣😂

Try it now not as much football anymore

I loved the dance party the best!!! Penn Charles really has the moves!! I joined the laughter when Kim was doing the water fountain!! Hysterical!!! Thank you for the laughter!

That “ah” after pen Charles drank water sounded so refreshing

[@thecsistersroadto1009]

Omg lol

[@APokeInTheEye]

There's a lot of evidence suggesting that older people are more susceptible to these devices. They don't cope with "screen addiction" as well as kids probably because they didn't grow up using them. You're obviously more used to them and that might be a good thing... But anyway congratulations!🙌

[@valmeyerhogg1049]

You should get an award!!

[@eraarrow]

Loved the dance party/contest! The digital diet could be fun and I would read the whole time. Which isn't much different than usual though.

[@EricaGamet]

Every once in a while, I do a 3-day silent retreat at a Jesuit Retreat House in Colorado. No phones or other tech allowed. It's bliss as you live communally with everyone, but don't speak. The walks are beautiful and peaceful and the naps are amazing. The only real "tech" is the one clock in the dining hall so you know what time meals are. I imagine you could bring an analog little clock for your room, but I love losing track of time. It's daytime... off to explore the grounds. It's nighttime... time to make some tea and go sit in the library and read! For someone who works digitally and online, these retreats are so re-energizing!

[@LisaBaird]

Uh oh, you just reminded me, I need to pack for our camping trip! I'll have my cell phone, but no AC, TV, proper bed...for a whole week.

[@mycatsballs8910]

I’m like penn I can’t fall asleep without hearing or reading or watching tv I need somthing my brain won’t just fall asleep by itself it needs somthing to soothe it to sleep lol

[@GregCorley]

This is an amazing idea. Congratulations! We have had shorter periods of this in my home. Mostly for the kids. :-) I don't know if I would be able to survive a digital diet. I work in technical support and spend my life administering computers and digital devices. It would be good, I think, to have 48 hours without technology. Perhaps during Christmas vacation. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the great work!

[@marykatemchenry]

that's a great idea! I should try that as well for Christmas and Christmas Eve

[@theholdernessfamily]

+Greg Corley I totally recommend it. It was such a wonderful time. We are trying to disconnect after 5pm and just focus on the kids and homework and family time. It doesn't always work -- but we learned a lot from this.

[@jfminc19]

@@theholdernessfamily It's really important to disconnect. I wonder if you could do it again.. kind of a "five years later"

[@gwillis01]

hello friends This was interesting. They had actual human conversations and they paid close attention to what the children were doing. I think the bicycle riding practice was much better quality because Penn was totally focused on the present moment.

[@An-Elderly-Dude]

ZERO technology... except for the cameras... hahaha

[@theholdernessfamily]

+Stephen Nesbit Ha! so true!

[@An-Elderly-Dude]

The Holderness Family In your defense though, it would've been awfully boring if you had just TOLD us what was going on as opposed to us SEEING it. My wife, 15yo daughter, 4yo son, and 3yo daughter love watching your videos!

Me waching in quartine when you are doing all of these............

[@lisettetherese]

I couldn't do this in quarantine! To hard!

[@ChantalCordonnier]

I applaud you for doing it, especially because of your kids who have been surrounded by it their whole life. I am really old-fashioned concerning technology, although I am only 27 years old. I have no smartphone, my cellphone survived a tractor and is 15 years old. I can text single texts and phone someone when needed. I have no phone at home. I own one laptop to check my mails and a radio for the kitchen and recently we got a TV. And that is all I can think of which can be labelled as digital.

[@bethesmithtoylady]

2020 anyone? And if they did this in coronavirus it would not work because everything’s on their computer like work school everything

[@ashtonthenugget3585]

They did this over the weekend 😂

[@ashtonthenugget3585]

😊

[@spiderinsocks2224]

Watching this makes me feel like I'm missing out because my brother can't speak as he has severe autism.

[@sadielynn5564]

You guys should do a digital diet in quarantine

Yea!

[@thepioneerhomestead]

Oh boy...my how 2020 has changed us😞🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. This is so awesome!!!🥰

[@daniellejacobs2185]

If they would of done this in 2020 they would have screamed their hearts out!😂

4:39 huh? Me and my family never use GPS. Like, ever.

[@stacyweik9848]

Awesome challenge. My daughters preschool does this challenge for a whole WEEK! My 4 year old was ok with it but my 11 yr old daughter was beside herself. LOL I think everyone should have a family game night. :-) Love you guys!

[@Jagjeff66]

I absolutely could not be without my technology lol.Kudos to you guys for doing it though! Saw my first holderness family show on up tv the other day.Pretty cool :)

[@itsjakub2620]

Them dance moves

[@kubanking]

DUDE ! You guys are officially on my fave things list. I love your vids and much like Herpes in highschool I'm spreading you guys everywhere! God bless your beautiful family. I would soooo watch a weekly show with you guys.

[@seameology]

I'm older. And I still navigate without GPS. I shop Fargo, ND. Which is about the size of Raleigh. I never look. However, the city has grown and I'm not good with the new parts of town. Thankfully, the city kept the same numbering system so it works.

[@davidstorrs]

Wow. The kids look so different. (Hardly surprising, since it's 2021 now and 6 years is a long time for growing up but wow.)

[@janelceule2613]

The bad thing about that is what if there is an emergency and you need to call 911 it would take you a lot longer to get to your phone

[@majormana1]

They hooked up land line

[@SRPrice]

They hooked the landline up. We still have them in our house. My nephews don't understand how we still use landlines. I know it's horrible but hey when the powers out which phone still works an doesn't need to be charged.

[@ashtonthenugget3585]

Well they had the phone on the table that has a dial

[@lauraarldt8139]

That's why we still have a landline.

[@handlingthehowards9543]

That's awesome thank you for the inspiration and idea

[@irvinwilliams9488]

I can't live without my phone and iPad and iPod

[@erinmulder2016]

In their offense, Raleigh is a big city for people who live in NC and I can see how they lost the store.

[@jenniferwise3102]

Amazing what happens when you disconnect from electronics. My kids talk to each other and play together and are actually out of their bedrooms. I would love to go back to flip phone era, no digital screens or ipads.

[@sharonehly1971]

Who knew that the game would soon be sold

Only problem with this is then you lose views! So then you lose money!

[@peepeepoopoo2397]

[@thatgrrlca]

I don't have a cell phone. Never got one. It is weird how quickly people became addicted to them. People used to make a grocery list but in your video you didn't seem to even think of that.

Oh my I need to do this but i dont think i could handle it! I would be in withdrawl like 80% of the time lol

[@dreamy1404]

I would soo request this to my family but only my dad and i would make it! My moms whole job is on her phone! I bet it was fun for you gyse!

[@harryrimmer6830]

First, find a copy of "The Joy of Cooking". It will let you know how to prepare almost anything. Second, purchase some books. Especially books that you will read, and re-read because the stories are old friends. Their is nothing quite like holding an actual book in your hands to read. Buy some board games. Some classics like Monopoly stand the test of time, but their are many new games that are very fun to play. Many 20- and 30-somethings have regular game nights in their homes for their regular groups of friends. I am not technology adverse, but I refuse to be ruled by it. My not-smart cell phone is in the console of my truck, turned off. It is there in case I have an emergency.

[@jarreds3110]

Love the wood countertop.

hi guys, I 'm from Brazil , great video. Excellent idea , nowadays people seem to be sick for technology , it seems a joke, but it is something very serious

[@cashcarter7013]

Everybody should do this on a regular basis to prevent from becoming disconnected with hard reality pre satellite/internet no pun intended. It's a cold turkey can't function conjunction junction what's your function situation. I need a fix man !!! Stage 2 fireplace and flashlights only.

we really need to do this!

[@imnotsurprised2653]

Great idea...but I ain’t doin it 🤣

[@JowAngel4]

That is an awesome idea! Technology had such great uses, but is very over-used and abused these days. By both adults and children. Yesterday I forgot my cell phone at home and left for work. 11 hours working on a computer, but I still felt a little lost without having my cell phone within arms reach. I'm a bit paranoid about being reachable in an emergency situation, like while driving. But everything was just fine!
