First Pickleball Tournament (featuring

[@josephsheranda]

The whole Florida vs. midwest dynamic is perfect. This is the kind of classic comedy nobody does anymore. Brilliant.

[@kelly1827]

NC vs Midwest 😉

[@piiinkDeluxe]

​@@kelly1827 well, Kim is from Florida, so both? 😅

[@teresabenson3385]

Love how the Midwesterners keep apologizing when they score, and again when they win. I'm Minnesotan, and do that all the time!

[@chettajohnson5261]

The expression on Kim's face when Penn was talking about her technique 😆

[@chettajohnson5261]

"we're professional picklers" hahaha. I love that your producer has been game to jump into more and more videos!!

[@bosco008]

100% hilarious.

[@ryanhunter2042]

Charlie's return hits were my favorite part of this. The couldn't-care-less demeanor whacky positions just made the contrast that much better.

[@tomchien7692]

Some of the best pb players at my local city rec courts are these tall, bulky, middle aged white dudes with dad bellies and dad arms who barley move but they have such amazingly seemingly effortless reflexes and accuracy, they don’t *need* to move and there play reminds of this guy. We had a potluck picnic brunch once, one of them literally played with a mimosa in one hand!?

[@rodlykins546]

Kim going down the slide at the end was priceless!

[@richardmahn7589]

"A little much" (as Kim says in outtake of another scene)

[@anitaomoaghama4097]

Finding her inner child 😂😂😂

[@barbedwings]

"Weeee"

[@heymikey4025]

I think that Kim was muttering about finding her inner child while she was going down the slide at the end…

[@sarah-phillips]

“For the love of God stop being so nice” made me cackle.

[@hemaccabe4292]

The he hits the ball while waiving made the milk come up through my nose. Great video! The four of you are genius! Definitely should do a concert and a weekly successor to Lake Woebegone.

[@CyberKnight1]

I completely missed that the first time, had to go back and watch it again. 🤣🤣

[@patriciadurham643]

Love Kim sliding down the slide! Absolutely love the Midwest neighbours!!! More of them please!!! ❤

[@sigsin1]

Yeah, weeeee!

[@rksnj6797]

I share the Midwest neighbor videos with my Midwest friends, they love them!!!

[@m.elizabeth0302]

I love you all together. Not gonna lie. I love Kim with AnnMarie.

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Charlie and the MidWest neighbor along with y’all are cracking me up. Love it.

[@mrjacob7795]

What gets me everytime is the long distance hollering! Only when watching these do I realize how natural it is for me to just yell instead of walkin' over to someone.

[@tinaperez7393]

Charlie and AnnMarie together! Finally! A sitcom couple made in heaven. 🤗👍❤️🔥 The ultimate Kryptonite to sophistication. I believe it was/is Jeff Foxworthy who defined rednecks that way - as having a total and utter lack of sophistication. 👍😜😁

[@queenbusick]

My fave line is 'stop being so nice!' I didn't realize that us Midwesterners were nice until I moved to the South. It's so nice to go back home and chat with everyone... Literally everyone!

[@rhondamckenna7635]

So true!!! My husband and I play PB and are constantly amazed at how competitive people are even in pick-up games. I like how you gave them the crappy paddles too hahahah

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

somehow they still beat us

[@tomchien7692]

Yeah, that’s part of the NON-“elitism” of pb vs. tennis, golf, etc. (ALL genders, ages, levels, socioeconomic statuses, etc. playing together). Btw: 1. “Sig better” equipment *should* be either required or banned, otherwise, by *definition*, it’s not fair. And if it’s not *really* “sig better”, then you shouldn’t be buying it. 2. Allowing sig better equipment makes a travesty of new “records” (or even just a win or even points if not all players are using the same sig better equipment). 3. Put a (*reasonable*) retail $s cap (adjusted for inflation) on equipment so everyone can afford it. 4. Ya ain’t a “REAL” pickballah ‘less you can win wif a NOname CARBON nutin’ WOOD paddle wif no STINKIN’ grit, vent, overgrip or lead tape. “I said wat I said.”

[@larrystolzman9337]

Thanks for holding your tournament in Manitowoc WI. Great town, great people, great fun. Don’t forget the Friday night fish fry and Culver’s Custard for a fun time. Say Hi to our friends while you’re there. God Bless!

[@rebeccaharkins2058]

Charlie, "You need to tailgate before everything." Lol

[@christineburchill2784]

This made me laugh out loud - this is a perfect illustration of a curling bonspiel. You think the other team (Canadians of course) are too wasted to even stand up on the ice and they then commence to totally clean up on you. My (American) husband always tells people the reason I (a Canadian) loved to curl so much is it is the only sport you can play with a broom in one hand and a beer in the other. I think now I may need to start playing pickle ball. Only change from this is a Bloody Caesar instead of a Mary 😂

[@MsAubrey]

I absolutely love this skit! I laughed at how different the clothes were… as someone from the Midwest (MI), 55*F and above = warm. 😊

[@subninja8069]

Yep... only in the summer fells like satans doorstep

[@niknotnikki]

​@@subninja8069 I start to panic when it goes into the upper 40s.

[@steve2468]

Yes! So much good stuff! How they keep switching their drinks. The chemistry between these 4 is great

[@reneehaynes3121]

Keep on with Charlie!!!!!! Love the Neighbor!!!! Y’all killin’ me 😂

[@tonyariesterer5358]

That court does see a lot of pickle ball games. I wasn't sure at first, but I recognized the park and my work right down the street. Hope you enjoyed Bay View!

[@adria89]

Love the Midwest crew!

[@mikkimichele51014]

You guys need to do more together videos. Omg hysterical 😂🤣😂🤣

[@KellieAnn71]

I'm a Michigander living in Tennessee and these videos are doubly good for me. Another quality production! Love you guys, Charlie, and M.N.! ❤❤ More please!

[@tinaperez7393]

Niceness. Weaponized. And not even intentionally. 😂🤣😂

[@Stork553]

Funny and so true. Never judge a book by it's cover. Years ago when my wife and I were in our forties and still very athletic in other sports (volleyball, softball and kickball), heard they were having a pickleball tourney in our town. Learned the rules, watched the videos, practiced a little over the weekends before. Show up and most of the teams were little ol' ladies in their 60's and 70's. Have to admit, thought we would walk through them. Those little ol' ladies then proceeded to mop the court the court with us all day. It was still a lot of fun. If your on the fence, give the game a try. Addicting sport.

[@wherami]

This has a Best in Show vibe. Love it

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

thanks!!

[@dilbertfan1]

A southerner complaining about somebody being too nice is classic 🤣. Loved this 1.

[@erinkuehn-schettler573]

Hey guys - we actually run an event like this called Pickles and Beer in Madison. If you are ever in town, let us know - we’d love to play with you!

[@Jon-u1v]

Midwest niceness should be bottled up & shared. One of my younger nieces has just moved to the south and she was having a hard time adjusting. I sent her a few funny things, and she laughed. 😂 Thank you for the material and making people smile. Shh…. We don’t want everyone moving to the Midwest and drinking our fantastic water. Don’t worry politicians and corporations will never be able to pipe freshwater to the desert. Old Treaty and Canada is involved. 😉

[@anniethompson8878]

For Pete's Sake! I love you all! Lol totally made my mornin'!

[@Lord_Dillinger]

Dude, the other couple NEED a SHOW! They are great!!! Holderness couple as always you two rock!

[@brianmacdougall5261]

So well-informed, right down to the lead tape paddle tune-up on one side and the identical wooden, painted budget paddles on the other. I played a family once who were all in Crocs. They platooned against me and my partner. They were assassins.

[@Starbuck2005]

You had me rolling in laughter, thank you for that! Being from the Midwest I get such a kick out of it those characters in your skits! They bring back fond memories, until I remember the bitter cold and snow! But that just makes me appreciate the warmth and sunshine I enjoy in my adapted country of Costa Rica all that much more!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Get your own Pickleball Y'all shirt! holdernessfamilyshop.com/products/pickleball-yall-tee

[@caseydog237]

Brilliant. Playing in my 4th tournament in the last six weeks tomorrow. I’ll make sure to scrutinize the attire, physical dimensions, and paddles of our opponents so I can get demolished. It happens quite regularly.

[@2WhiteAndNerdy]

This one is the best in a long time. Laughing my rear off over hear. 😂

[@KevinZ.000]

The Packer's comment from Charlie had me ROFL.🤣🤣🤣

[@KristiWilson]

I hadn’t heard of Pickleball until we moved to FL a couple years ago. It’s a huge thing here!

[@tinaperez7393]

That looked like a cold day. Although the Wisconsin fall this year WAS in the 60's and 70's up to just a couple weeks ago (early November), so maybe and hopefully that's when they filmed this. Leaves on the ground but still warm.

[@thrydwulf]

Hilarious! The couple doing the midwesterners do a fantastic job!

[@gypsybelle4757]

Smiling the whole time!! Needed this today. Thank you all!!

[@appleonaya2659]

Yessss!!! So excited this collaboration do more! 😊💓

[@midmodlou]

"We're actually the athletes." 😂

[@mikemcneill3294]

Another great video! You guys should totally go to Bainbridge Island in Washington State, the place where pickleball was created! You can play in the annual Pickleball Founders Tournament held in every August where you can meet some of the creators of pickleball. You can also stop by the Bainbridge Island museum where you can see some of the earliest paddles, etc. that they used for pickleball.

[@BiscuitNGravyTales]

I did actually cry laugh at this. 😂😂💯

[@darlouthia5153]

Kim on the slide at the end 😂😂😂😂

[@kabob21]

The $35 Monarch starter set paddles from Dick’s Sporting Goods are a nice touch 😂

[@pwarriorninja]

I love you guys!! And when you add the Midwest neighbor it's even funnier!! 🤣😂🤣

[@bosco008]

I love Bloody Mary's. Hot tip: a tablespoon of dill pickle juice. This video was unreal! So, so awesome.

[@jeffd4056]

Absolutely love this one Love Charlie

[@jacoblantom]

The way Penn says Manitowoc is painful

[@drew-annecarson9062]

This made me laugh so much that I pulled a stomach muscle and will have to cancel my afternoon pickle session. If you all ever want to play in Pittsboro come on over. But be forewarned that we trash talk a lot. Ladies walking their dogs by our courts clutch their pearls.

[@Fox-Mann-Fam]

Delightful collab. Love it.

[@primad8781]

I have a friend that plays pickleball up here in Saskatchewan and she mentioned this video so I watched it and I'm like "waiddaminute! Is that Charlie Berens??? It is!" As someone from that part of the world I wasn't expecting a familiar face! The pronounciation of "Manitowoc" was a valiant effort too! Will be spelling Oconomowoc with out any effort next! LOL

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

I would love a streaming device to pick this up as a show. The whole dynamic of these two couples

[@shirleywilliams7027]

when I watch them it reminds me of the old TV show Carol Burnett she was so funny everybody on the show was funny

[@cherieeunice5460]

Woke up and found your page. You guys are hilarious 😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤ Love from Maryland 😊

[@susanquiroz1771]

HA Ha Ha ha ha ha, you are all so so so so adorable and funny, so love to watch your funny antics, thank you for your you tube channel

[@genx_jen]

I am loving the Wisconsin vibes! ❤️🧀🍺

[@sarsarsvintagejewelry]

This makes me more proud to be a midwesterner.

[@Heartwing37]

Love when the Midwest people are on! Love Charlie so much, but also love your neighbor!

[@AndrewSyiek]

Fuc*ing dope pickle ball parody! SO well done!

[@kristinek2916]

So funny and spot on!!! Totally my husband and I. Thanks for the laughs. Kim on the slide “ my inner child“ 😂

[@tiffanyknight1514]

"I'm gonna find my inner child"...LOL 🤣

[@ruthcrawford3015]

Memories......oh the games I have played......y'all nailed this! Take away...it's HARD TO BE HUMBLED.

[@starskeymaid]

This was so fun! Thank you all.

[@ahoyfamily]

Penn and Kim are giving strong "Best in Show" vibes, LOL!

[@Sitharos]

No idea how to play, but this is hilarious! 🤣

[@Zeyev]

Perfect. Thanks for the laughs.

[@Ben-um1cy]

Hey you're like a block from my house! Come on over next time, I'll make bloodies.

[@brianhalley2238]

Yes Kim’s expression was to die for. I’ve seen that on my wife and kids face countless times when I mansplain.

[@pickledapp]

Great video! As an avid pickler, I've watched/shared this multiple times and still get a good laugh! If you do another one maybe consider a video about teaching new people how to play with some of the, "less than straightforward" pickleball rules. For example, teaching the volley serve with the requirements of being "an upward arc", "contact must be below the waist" and "highest point of the paddle head shall be below the wrist when it strikes the ball". Also there's the kitchen line being OUT of bounds on the serve but the other lines are inbounds, etc. Might be fun material there. Regardless, keep it up!

[@burgundymarcia]

Reminds me of some adult hockey league tournaments I was in. We'd have an out of town team sign up, show up drunk, drink on the bench, and still win.

[@ThisIsFiftyWithLil]

That was amazing... outstanding!

[@shaneedwards367]

Love you guys 😅

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

thanks for being here with us

[@ambermartin3961]

I watched this twice and shared it with my Midwestern hubs and stepdaughter. I'm from MT.... we all live on the East Coast currently. Yes, my stepdaughter used to give MN lessons 😂😂😂

[@jmacky]

Totally! OMG- Made my day! We all have the "athletes" on our court.

[@MaybeMable111]

The fact that you filmed a pickleball game in different states is impressive!!

[@teresabenson3385]

They're at the same place. Check out the background behind Charlie & Anne Marie in the beginning, and then behind Kim & Penn while they play. It's the same view.

[@averyce2]

That was HILARIOUS!!

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

thanks for watching

[@sspodesto]

"Your Sorrys" 😂 "are actually making it worse"We all say it too much in Pb... this is great!

[@suybean1]

There are so many hilarious one liners in this video! What a well thought out script :) do we seriously sound like this in Wisconsin? Haha

[@jesusjazzyogaspicytuna]

"wheee......" I feel seen. Thank you, Kim. Thank you. 😂😭

[@rksnj6797]

Nothing like a Spicy Bloody with a Leinenkugel's chaser to get you ready for a major pickleball tourney!!!

[@billlyl3725]

For the love of God, stop being so nice!

[@wherami]

Absolutely brilliant lol

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

thanks for watching!

[@ileneahrens8741]

This is awesome.

[@jasonflay8818]

The least enthusiastic 'wee' at the end got me

[@jessicaloree9033]

She makes me so homesick!! 😆🤗❤️

[@Mary-momof8]

The dynamic duo: NC vs Midwest!! Go team!!

[@myretirementjourneycreid4474]

This is my fav one🤣💕

[@dssouthern]

Love the very last blooper.

[@xtina1610]

Love these compilation videos. All ya'll are hilarious.

[@faeriefire78]

My friend lives in a boujee gated golf community and the last year or so they've been almost more focused on pickleball than golf. The more I see of it, the more I think I should talk her into us playing. Looks fun! (Especially the way the Midwesterners do it, lol.)

[@anatar30]

Haha. I love these collaborations.

[@lhatfield0786]

I was rooting for Charlie from Manitowoc, I gotta tell ya'

[@DS11129]

I have not had a Leinenkugel in ages. Good beer.

[@mikebartee3802]

Hysterical humor.😂

[@robbymounce5764]

Guys…………? Maybe try hitting the PickleBall to a location that they’re NOT currently AT…………………..? Lol! ❤

[@dfreeman32]

“We live just down the road”. 😂😂
