The absurdity of Next Door plus Michael McDonald’s voice is the collaboration we didn’t know we needed.

[@AFRSteve]

Not gonna lie, I’d listen to an hour long mix of this. More Michael McDonald please!

[@theholdernessfamily]

Ha! We will get on it

[@RealandUnfiltered]

​@@theholdernessfamily Don't forget to do Lionel Richie and Def Leppard! ❤🤣

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Yes please, huge combo fan of Michael McDonald and Penn Holderness here! 💖💖💖

[@JimMork]

His falsetto is so good, he could do Bee Gees. Or maybe even Beach Boys.

[@NailahRoberts]

We need a weekly next door roundup😂

[@theholdernessfamily]

Right? It’s pure comedy over there

[@tinaperez7393]

It's everyone's own local Manitowoc Minute! (Charlie Berens reference there).

[@jesusjazzyogaspicytuna]

No! We DON'T need a weekly round up. There's enough people in this world with the IQ of a soft potato. Rofl! 😂😂😂

[@lizzhuddle6224]

I’d click on that

[@KShip148]

Yasss!

[@CyberKnight1]

And I thought *my* NextDoor neighborhood was weird. 🤣 I love that Penn couldn't keep a straight face about the goats. :D

[@JimMork]

Straight face till the end.

[@lesliefarley4318]

The fact that the one person thought that a deer was a coyote is hysterical. Lmao!!!! Idk how they couldn't've seen the deer's antlers in that camera shot.

[@myladycasagrande863]

More likely they just have no clue about wildlife in general. 😂

[@stitchingrealms]

What I found just as funny is the fact that this is a common occurrence for all kinds of wildlife caught on camera. And they’re always mistaken for coyotes!

[@danickale8469]

That had to be a joke…? Can’t mistake a huge deer for coyote. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@andrewjohn7782]

Nah, it was just an overgrown Jackalope. They love cushions!

[@mbyerly9680]

Big city Yankees. What else can I say. Snicker.

[@donbluth84]

Thanks for the laughs...I'm convinced every neighborhood in nextdoor is insane. (Also, the choice of "What a Fool Believes" for nextdoor...perfection!)

[@mhedstrom]

I can't figure out if I'm missing out by not reading Nextdoor, or I'm insanely smart by not doing so. Loved the song!!

[@bevhill2202]

You are insanely smart! Walk away!

[@Chilliam13]

It's both. Nextdoor is good for a laugh as long as you don't take it too seriously.

[@bevhill2202]

Nextdoor Gold!!! I recently killed my Nextdoor feed, just couldn’t take one more lost cat stalking birds in someone’s yard, or report of kids ringing doorbells. Thank goodness for your brilliant recap with the help of Michael McDonald to remind me that I made a good decision! 😂

[@sahmnancy]

Or the strange cars driving by. Stop staring out of your window and get a hobby.

[@xmccormick]

Literally just got a kids ringing doorbell one today!

[@KarisPigNose]

I usually just answer those posts with a photo of Gladys Kravitz.

[@crumbs3506]

That’s amazing how Michael McDonald did that without auto tune. I never realized how good he can sing. You too Penn

[@tinaperez7393]

😂👍

[@JimMork]

Pen reminds me of Brian Wilson. Except Brian was way more serious. Pen is just indulging his funny bone.

[@CoralandTeal]

My husband is a teacher- middle school math and rock band. This is one of his hardest weeks (incudihg performances) . I had him watch this before he left. He was laughing so hard he was crying. Thanks- we needed that.

[@theholdernessfamily]

This makes me so happy. Hugs to all the teachers right now

[@michelelynn5162]

Same!!! 3 concerts yesterday. I had tears rolling down my cheeks this morning 😂

[@tinaperez7393]

I'll be singing this all day "i have 2 unopened bottles here of a thousand island dressing, both of them expired". "And yelling Bologna!" 😂

[@homethatilove4595]

works better in 🩲 underwear

[@JimMork]

My wife is so ND. And SHE can't just look at the expired date and dump it. I have to sneak stuff out and hope she doesn't notice.

[@lunabeam42]

Not only was I cracking up, but my husband came in as I was watching, started dancing, and said that he thought Penn's singing was great and sounded just like Michael McDonald.

[@JimMork]

Only Doobies I know is What A Fool Believes. But that I must have heard a thousand times.

[@jgarthur4760]

Oh good it isn’t just our next door people who are nuts! Love Micheal McDonald!

[@JimMork]

By the way, NextDoor has volunteer moderators. Our NextDoor isn't the same as his.

[@ronwaters478]

Let's see the outtakes of Penn trying to get thru the goat story ! 😁

[@PookysMom6]

It sounds like Nextdoor is even crazier in your area than in mine 😂 It's always entertaining, though

[@chimbob67]

I love Michael McDonald, and good job with the impression!

[@toddseales8222]

I think this needs to be posted on every neighborhood facebook page. 😂🤣

[@researchotaku]

Most of the time, I just do the sharp exhale laugh for these songs and skits. This one made me scream-laugh the whole time and I'm in tears now.

[@pam7825]

This is hilarious!! I voted for that wig & you rock it, Penn!! “Is this a coyote?” I marvel at the crazy, nutso things said on Nextdoor!!! The goats (in the south), the mailbox, walking by my house!!! I could not stop laughing!! One of your BEST!!! Thx Penn!! 😂

[@trinaq]

That wig really suits you, Penn, who wouldn't want Michael Mcdonald as your neighbour?! 😂

[@theholdernessfamily]

Exactly 😂

[@amandaphillips4344]

The goats post killed me😂

[@theholdernessfamily]

These are the people in our neighborhood 😂

[@Mama_Bear524]

😂

[@tinaperez7393]

Holderness team: once in awhile could you consider doing some satirical / parody reference to the fact that Penn & Kim - THESE two - actually WON The Amazing Race? I see these videos based on the old stand by / always hilarious standard Holderness themes like being too introverted, anxiety ridden, funny mundane things about every day life, etc - like to Kim's wanting to get the bread versus the apple in Panera or call in a takeout delivery order or even to not want to go outside or anywhere adhd issues, kids and neighbors, etc etc and I would love to see a juxtaposition of them at their worst and most seemingly incapable/ dysfunctional versus their feats of insane ability and challenges like during the amazing race. Or something like that. Or a video making an amazing race type treatment of mundane every day activities to dos, chores, activities and challenges (Dude Dad did something like this hilariously with their Dad Winter Olympics skit 😂). Or maybe how real every day life can be / is just as challenging and often even more so than the actual amazing race. But yeah - just there seems to be comic gold that could be mined somehow with that. Come to think of it maybe that kind of thing was done recently with the video with the Panera visit. I dunno. Just throwing this possibly useless two cents in there. - That something to do with the amazing race angle - maybe that could have multiple angles - could be explored more. Because i guess i still catch myself periodically thinking - especially with the really hilariously mundane themed videos - that, "wait a second - THESE two not only got ONTO (and trained for) the amazing race but actually WON that thing!" 😂😂😂 (And i watched every episode btw!!!) It WAS amazing! 😸👍👏 I'm still amazed! 😮😃😜👍

[@reneesanchez3648]

It’s 5:30 am and I’m literally laughing outloud!!! You two are great!!

[@theholdernessfamily]

Good morning!!!

[@JimMork]

Hardly anything on streaming close to the entertainment value of the family.

[@kendrikhawk7436]

I didn't know Nextdoor was a thing... I thought he was going to be at the neighbor's house, annoying them. 😂

[@darrylkraatz1482]

Me too ! Totally clueless! 😂

[@gkennedy2998]

Rewound 5 times. OK, the goats were the best but hating on Phil was epic. My third place winner was "is this a coyote?" Nice of the lady who chased her dog, Bologna, to apologize to the community.

[@SylverMage]

Wow XD I was once a lady running down the street after a pup (no bra, pjs, sock feet). He just wanted to visit the dog down the road. Interesting way to meet your neighbours for the first time 🤣

[@judithharley9236]

This is hysterical. It epitomizes the Nextdoor app.

[@tinaperez7393]

I found myself just appreciating and bopping to this great classic* song. Adding Penn's great voice and spot on impression and the usual ridiculous, hilarious Holderness humor and that's a great start to the day for anyone! And great yt content in general! 😂❤ * - call it "yacht rock" / boomer music, whatever. Its still a great song and genre! 😜

[@angelariebli4843]

Dying laughing the whole time....if you only knew how much we did this at work. Because Michael McDonald can sing about ANYTHING:)))

[@thnkx]

My throat hurt listening to those notes. It's like my throat was contracting in sympathy, Oh, man... I had to stop the video a couple times for laughing. This is one of the funniest videos of the current bunch. Hahaha. And... it is ACCURATE.

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

😂😂😂 I listen to Traditional Rock and Progressive Rock mostly. However, I won’t ever admit this in person but yeah. I could listen to this all day lol. This family is so much fun. Great video! Edit: Also I would like to mention it’s always just wholesome fun. Refreshing and appreciated. The best kind of content to be watch.

[@theholdernessfamily]

Your secret is safe with me

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

This is like an episode of Charlie Betens' Manitowoc Minute! The Charlotte (Edit: Raleigh), NC Michael McDonald vetsion. Love it! 😂👍❤️🔥

Raleigh, but yeah.

"Happy thanksgiving to everyone...... except Phil" 😂😂😂😂

Nextdoor: a great source of lyrics - along with everything else apparently. 😂

😂😂😂I’m dying! What has this world come to when people are farting on neighbor’s mailboxes and have goats fornicating in public. 😂

[@loriwallach4447]

😂I can’t tell you how much better I feel that it isn’t just my NextDoor feed that’s full of insanity! Thank you Penn!!

[@rodlykins546]

Impressed you could do that without breaking down laughing!

[@thesetruths1404]

This song was always playing in the 80s to 90s and was always annoying, but in a groovy kinda way. This serves up a comedy message just right. 😆

[@LydiaKrow]

I definitely have to stop watching these late at night while my boyfriend is trying to sleep. :D Quiet laughing is very difficult.

[@Rachelle_Creates]

Years ago we our neighbor left a voicemail on my husbands cellphone, to hurry over because the aliens were landing in her front yard and the lights were so bright! It was very hilarious but she was serious.

[@ChristineMaz]

This is NOT an exaggeration. I only get the email synopses and it takes everything to force myself not to go read the actual posts sometimes.

[@amandajohnson6662]

🤣😂🤣 lol I can't even...!! Listening to this w earbuds, I can't stop laughing to breathe, and my daughter looks at me like I'm from another planet...but those goats though...!!!

[@copiouscareerist]

Yes....this. It's the straight face coupled with "people who have too much time on their hands" that always gets me chuckling. I like this bit a lot. Onward! (I think Phil was her husband)

[@carynplatt9790]

I was feeling so stressed out and emotionally exhausted, until I started watching this new video! 😊 I was cracking up the whole time! 😂 Thank you, Penn and Kim!

[@luigiscazzari4724]

How can you keep a straight face at " goats stop having sex " ?! 😂

I wish I can find a man in my life that acts like you! 😆 #husband goals

Wow Pen, you are truly talented ! How you could lower your voice to do Michael McDonald ! AMAZING !!!

Oh yeah! More Michael McDonald! He is a nice guy on top of a unique voice. The goats and the "coyote" on the porch though... holy crap. Excellent job Penn!!

I now low - key want to know what Phil did

Hilarious!!! You guys always make my day and this will keep one will keep me giggling to myself for all of it. Please make more Nextdoor videos. I’ve got to go to watch this again.🙂😁😀😂🤣

[@sallyhamilton7202]

How does anyone think an elk is a coyote? Does that even look dog-like to you? Do they not know a coyote is in the canine family? The lady chasing her dog bologna while in her underwear is hilarious!

[@justafan13]

I thought it was a deer, not an elk, are there really elk in the south

[@sallyhamilton7202]

@@justafan13 I just watched the video again. It doesn't look like a white tail deer to me so I assumed it was an Elk. And comparing it to online photos of an elk the head is the right shape. But I don't actually know, it's just a guess on my part. And no elk don't live in the south but maybe Penn didn't get this from his actual Nextdoor area but just pulled the best ones he could find.

I'm wondering: Are the Doobies Gen X? The Eagles? Chicago? This is where I get confused. I knew boomers who learned the l lyrics and sang the songs at parties. The songs of "my youth" were Bill Haley. Mills Brothers. Four Freshmen. Julie London. Dave Brubeck.

[@SparkleSunflower123]

What dark and freaky corner of the internet is THIS?!😂😂😂 THIS = NextDoor, NOT Holderness Family. I love you guys!🥰

I think you gave Michael McDonald a run for his money. You sounded just like him. I think you missed your true calling... Songer😅

[@SugarCookie1957]

These could have been taken straight from my local NextDoor postings (South Fort Myers, FL)! 😂 It seems A**hatery is universal.

[@homethatilove4595]

Our area has several, frequent, "please stop shooting off fireworks!!" especially on random days of the year (not around) Jan 1 or July 4. Often, we can't tell the difference between gun shots, fireworks or sonic booms from rocket 🚀 launches 😒🙄

People be nuts and Penn be brilliant and funny. Local Nextdoor is great for lost pets, identifying bugs and snakes, scam warnings, and posts from the local government. That's about it.
