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 weekday. 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! Thanks for being here.

On a trip from LA to Hawaii once, I got upgraded to First class, offered it to my wife, but she decided to stay in back because it turned out she had the entire row. For at least three of the five hours over the Pacific the plane experienced unbelievable turbulence. I couldn't read, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't watch videos, everything was bouncing across the sky the entire time. It was unnerving even to me who have flown more than a million miles in my life. When we landed in Lihue, I made my way towards the exit and waited for my wife to come forward. "What did you think of the terrible turbulence?" I asked her. "Was there any turbulence," she said, "I was asleep across the entire row the whole time and didn't notice anything." Next time, she gets bumped to first class.

[@georgeglass3991]

LOL @ Penn "crazy clown face".

[@parkervanoosten1445]

i was on a flight and the turbulence was so bad. there was a huge storm while we were in the air. the flight attendants were giving out drinks. they accidentally skipped us and gave drinks to the people behind us. that’s when the turbulence hit. it was the worst turbulence any one of us has ever felt. so the people behind us got coffee and spilled it all over themselves. i thought that was hilarious because that could have been us if we hadn’t gotten skipped. while i was dying of laughter the flight attendants kept trying to give us drinks WHILE THE TURBULENCE WAS GOING ON. my friend was next to me, crying because she was scared, and she thought i was insane for laughing.

[@karifobar5687]

I am totally with you Kim. I hate to fly but I love to travel. I white knuckle it also. My kids laugh at me now.

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

I looooove train rides! I don't mind car rides as long as we make stops to go to the "necessary room". Car rides are fun.

[@f0x..b0nes]

Lol i screamed during turbulence cause it was my first time feeling it lol

[@laurajplant]

Kim, I feel your pain! Turbulence freaks me out. I see myself when you reach for Lola’s hand - thinking “this is it”.

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

I was terrified of flying simply because of my ears popping as if they were full of Pop Rocks. Add turbulence to the mix and I would wonder what I did to be put in the torture chamber. 👂💢💫 plus 💫🌀 = 😱😖😣😵😵‍💫 Thank goodness for Amtrak! After flying twice in one year Dad finally realized that train travel was better for us. We never flew again. TBH, Mum didn't like flying much either. She was not scared, and her ears hardly popped. They got full but she didn't feel pain at all. But she didn't like being confined in a seat for five hours. She got restless because she likes to move around. Dad was the only one who didn't dislike flying at all. FYI those plane trips were in 1975 and 1978 and I remember them like it was yesterday.

[@ryanschaefer7510]

I love this family very very much

[@northernsoutherngirl]

I'm like Kim too. I like to travel, but I hate flying. That plane ride would've had me crying...😭😭😭

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

Car rides are fun, and train rides are the best! Flying is torture on my ears and I'm scared of turbulence as well. I cried like a baby on the descent. My ears were full of Pop Rocks 😱😖😣😵😵‍💫 (Fortunately there was no turbulence but I was afraid there might be.)

To travel on an airplane, your dog would have to be an emotional support dog and you would have to have a letter from a psychiatrist. Emotional Support Animals-Provides support and emotional comfort to a handler with a mental illness or anxiety type issues. Service Dogs-Specifically trained to perform tasks that mitigate a handler’s disability. Therapy Dogs-Trained to bring comfort and joy to those in a hospital, school, library or other care environments.

[@kateriedelbode919]

Kim-I am a Mom too and I also hate turbulence and I make the same smiling face! 😁I think it's a coping mechanism. We are trying to fake ourselves out that we aren't as scared as we are And, we are trying to hide our fear from our kids. My family needs to travel to MN soon to visit my In-Laws and I am dreading the flights!!! 😰

[@LauraJane_mammacooksalot]

HA! Turbulence is almost as rough as giving birth. 😅😂Kim, in the clip where you have your eyes closed, you Look like my non-medicated transition labor photos.....calm blue ocean. 😉

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

There wasn't turbulence when my family flew but I was familiar with the concept and worried about what if. What drove me bonkers was the Pop Rocks in my ears.👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫

[@n8trsho]

Used to freak out with turbulence until someone explained to me it's like a bumpy road..."by the time you feel the bumps, you're PAST the bumps." Definitely helped. A little. The movement of the overheads is normal...the plane has to flex otherwise things would snap. Also, I recommend you correct Ruby's biting behavior. You need to be dominant (pack leader) and not allow that...you will have bigger problems later on. Please, please read Cesar Milan's books (or just watch the show). There's an easy (and correct) way of correcting it.

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

Wow, nobody on this thread has mentioned Pop Rocks in their ears. That's unusual.

[@angelm5355]

Omg pc punched Penn in the face I'm laughing so hard

[@user-jf3ee9nd4i]

Good grief people. This is a puppy, my dog is 14 yrs old and she went through the teething thing but grew into the most loving and sweet dog. She is a lab. You are doing a perfect job Holderness family. Ruby will grow out of it. My lab did.

Coming back from Ireland in 2013, the Atlanta thunderstorms were kicking. At one point, we went down 6000 feet in 10 seconds. not fun

[@alyssanorris5551]

[@astheygrowup]

My husband for sure makes those faces when we hit turbulence. The last time we were heading to Hawaii we hit it off an on through the 9hr flight. I wasn't sure if he was going to make it or not.

[@shwetanavani480]

Watching this video 2022 when nobody is going anywhere. Ohh *sigh* flying in an airplane, seeing different places, 😥😣

[@boogeybaby12]

Unless you have a real diagnosed anxiety disorder, I would discourage you from having your dog certified as a therapy dog. Trained service animals go through rigorous training for well over a year. The waitlist for a service animal can be multiple years. My friend who is legally deaf was on a waitlist for nearly four years before she got her dog. Service animals are trained to never bark, or get distracted when they are working. Fewer than two of every 10 dogs who start training ever graduate. The rest are retired and become plain old pets because they lack the discipline. The marker is now flooded with ill trained support animals. This results in increased scrutiny for people like my friend who really need their service animals to navigate the world with significant disabilities. Think of it another way, you are pretending to be a person with a disability so you can keep your pet nearby.

[@izzy4791]

Oh wow

[@joanncrawford5784]

Kim, I understand. I recently went on a mission trip to Germany and the second plane ride on the way home was from Iceland to BWI and the turbulence was awful and the plane was pitching so much. Sure, I love the feeling of my stomach going into my throat when on a roller coaster, but not on an airplane . . .

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

Joann Crawford Have you ever experienced really hard landings where i live that’s all they do land and immediately put the flaps up all the way.

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

How about your ears? Did they pop? If not, you're sooooooooooo lucky.

[@KrazeeClark]

Ruby has a beautiful coat. Nice pick. : )

[@heidixoxo9326]

My dog hates strangers and car rides.... I can't imagine how miserable he would be on an airplane as a therapy dog for another person!

[@PollyannaXdoll]

Sad. My dog does great on planes!

[@sherrianderson9715]

When we decent, I hold the seat back in front of me and sweat like crazy until we land

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

I cried like a baby. "O-o-o-o my ears! 👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭 I didn't order any Pop Rocks! Get all those Pop Rocks out of my ears ASAP!"👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭 Fortunately my parents realized that train travel was a better option. (We had gone by plane twice, two years in a row. My ears popped like mad on both trips, and Dad finally realized that train travel was a better option.) I like car rides and I love train rides.

[@caroline.3873]

I love traveling!!! Buut I HATE turbulence! Once I was traveling back to NY from California during a Colorado AND NY snow storm and I kid you not, I could feel the wind coming into the plane. The best thing to do sounds really stupid, but the best thing to do is to watch the flight attendants. If they are still going up and down the plane, you know it's safe. Also get a really good movie and get a soda, or probably in your case wine😂😂 *video idea* different types of wine for different flights!!

[@kroseandpen4671]

On a trip back from Nevada, after a car accident that completely totaled our car, we had to fly over the Rockies. I don’t know if anybody else experienced this but the Rockies are HORRIBLE when it comes to turbulence. It felt like we were going to crash. At one point we just all of a sudden dropped and from the cockpit you hear “son of a b****!” The flight attendant turns to us “because we were all in the back, and goes “well that was fun”. It freaked me out because when we took off (after the flight had been delayed till 2:00 am, when it was supposed to leave at 12:00) they had to de- ice the plane wings because it was frigid and it had just rained. The whole time the turbulence was happening my brother was sitting in the row adjacent to me making a face like he was taking a dump. Let’s just say that was not a good trip. But we loved the flight attendants.

Neither is having Pop Rocks in the ears. Although my family's plane trips were eons ago, I clearly remember those painful takeoffs and descents, but especially the descents. 👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭Torture chambers and Pop Rocks!👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫🌀

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

That's me! I'm scared of flying because of Pop Rocks in my ears. (Add the possibilities of turbulence and unruly passengers, and I wouldn't fly again for all the money in the world). I've flown twice, with my family to visit relatives, and both trips were torture on my ears. I can relate to Kim's anxiety.

[@Blahblahblah290]

[@Hyowatta]

My worst plane flight was on a trip to Hawaii. My ears popped, and I had terrible pain from my ears down through to my bottom jaw. It was horrible. All I could do was wither around in pain. It felt like my head was breaking open!

[@grievinggeekclairedixon3445]

That's exactly what happened to me when we went to Florida. Thank goodness for the train. After two Pop Rocks plane trips we rode the train instead. It was so totally worth it. I loooooooooooooove train trips. BTW we were visiting relatives on our vacation in Florida.

[@battlebear437]

You could try chewing gum. I’ve heard that helps. Also, back in the 80s I took scuba diving lessons and the instructor told us to take a sinus aid (like sudafed or actifed) to help clear our eardrums to relieve the pressure. I forgot to one time and couldn’t make it below 30 feet. Idk if either is available but it could be worth a shot.

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

Hi, it's me again under a new KZbin handle! I can relate. A flight to Florida felt like a torture chamber. O-o-o-o my ears! Mum's not keen on flying because she likes to move around instead of being confined to a seat, and I loathe flying because of my popping ears. Dad was the only one who didn't suffer. There was no turbulence but if there had been turbulence (in addition to Pop Rocks in my ears)I probably would have said "Let's turn back, deplane, rent a car, and head for the nearest Amtrak station!" 1975 and 1978 were the years of the Pop Rocks!👂💢💫👂😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭

[@ineedamirroroferised2844]

@@battlebear437 I chewed gum and put cups over my ears. Did it help? Noooooooo 👂 💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭👂 My ear canals are as narrow as a pencil. The GP told me, and I believe him because why else wouldn't chewing gum and cups over my ears NOT help? O-o-o-o my ears! Pop Rocks are not my favorite candy, whether IRL or fake ones (fake Pop Rocks = popping ears 👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭) In fact, even riding the elevator in the World Trade Center gave me Pop Rocks in my ears. Air pressure changes and me...bad combo!👂💢💫😱😖😣😵😵‍💫😭

[@cashcarter7013]

Kim if you opt to not fly anymore I totally support you. Read my other comment so you know my position on air travel. PS A service animal will not save you in the event of a major in flight emergency that results in a crash landing.

I just discovered your channel about a month ago, and your most recent ones have a dog named Sunny. Are you a puppy "foster" family, before they can start the actual, very rigorous, training program? I think it's awesome if you are!! It's hard to give up this temporary addition to your family, so kudos if I'm right. Love the vlogs!!

[@krislynner6260]

Ruby is really adorable and I love how much you all love her. I really strongly encourage you to address her mouthing habit. It needs to be addressed. Positive training and reinforcement is a good way to go. Please don't ignore it and hope it will go away...it won't. She needs to be taught that her teeth can never be on skin.

[@ZannaTheGreat]

Krislynner Yep, I was going to comment the same thing, especially because she'll be a good sized dog - the mouthing cannot be tolerated. Some dogs grow and mature out of it on their own, but most need training.

[@ZannaTheGreat]

Krislynner But maybe they are addressing it and just not on camera while filming, who knows :)

[@n8trsho]

I also mentioned this in my post below. The dog is establishing dominance and allowing that will only lead to bigger training issues down the road. Companion dogs especially have this behavior corrected early. Ignoring is bad, and pulling your hand back is even worse.

[@theholdernessfamily]

Krislynner we are working on it. She is dominating her training right now!

The Holderness Family great to hear! I hope my original comment didn't sound bossy or obnoxious. As a dog owner, it was just something that popped into my head, especially since I have children as well. 💞

Quick scroll through the comments, and I think we're in agreement. No one likes turbulence.

[@MegaMindyLou]

My sister got her puppy registered as a service dog. Strangely, I have a problem with it. We are now flooding the market with 'service' dogs and people who actually need them are getting harassed by airlines and shopping malls. It makes me more anxious to travel with my dog then without. Is she scared of all the strangers, what if she pees on something, what if someone steals her? She's safer at home with my mom, if I get a little shook up on the plane - I'll get over it.
