This was amazing! We had a blast sharing our sport with you. You are welcome back any time.

[@geolace2573]

First

[@MrSharpdrop]

My first thought, when the camera panned across your team's faces, was,"crap!" I knew, unless team Holderness had brought in total ringers, they were toast! Totally awesome video. I may be hooked!

[@ElizabethMotoe]

Thank you for letting Kim and Penn film the video! :D

[@mantleofelijah]

It’s a great sport, well done for welcoming the Holdernesses and all their fans!

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Thank you so much for welcoming Team Holderness! I must admit, my only prior exposure to curling was through the pages of The Cat Who Smelled a Rat (Lillian Jackson Braun), when journalist Jim Qwilleran went to watch a match. With Kim & Penn being seasoned professional, national-grade journalists (like Qwill), this was eerily familiar. But the tools and techniques didn't look quite as I had pictured, based on the book's influence, not having ever watched it. I thought it would be more like hockey, but with players in hockey-like apparel and skates, using cinnamon brooms to push volcanic rocks with smooth bases. Thankfully, in this case, no one died and Kim & Penn didn't have to solve a whodunit. Although I could see them doing their own take on Murder She Wrote with a curling scene. LOL

[@parisindy]

I am from Saskatchewan Canada…. Curling is a huge deal here … my whole family is obsessed, I was always the black sheep for not being a curler. My only note is that you don’t have to sweep every time. Only if the rock is going too slow and needs some help getting to the target or if you think there is something on the ice. But you guys did awesome !

[@chickie8252]

This looks like Twister with shuffleboarding and a Rhomba vacuum!

[@paulahubbard9704]

Riddle: How do you keep Canadian bacon from curling? You take away their tiny brooms.

[@erinvisser7482]

I have not even finished watching this and I am in love with this video. As a Canaidian who loves curling but had never tried it, thank you for showing how much of an athlete you have to be to play.

[@liliesandbuttercups]

I LOVE watching Olympic curling! My husband teases me because he thinks it's boring. Glad to know I'm right 😁 You guys are the best- rooting for you on TAR! Thanks for the fun video, I need to find a curling place near me!

[@rodcraven3282]

Love curling, have played it for 30 years. It is a sport husband and wife can play and learn together. Keep going and curling will certainly grow on both of you. Enjoyed the effort and first game.

[@sharonalbert6885]

Many, many years ago, before Toronto had the Raptors, TSN covered a LOT of curling in January and February. The current president of the company that I worked for was up from the US head office was a NBA fanatic, and was VERY dismayed that curling briers got more airtime than basketball. We explained at length about how curling is a challenging sport, and that he should try it before dismissing it entirely. He joined our curling league and loved it! I hope that he took that love back to S. Carolina when he went back home. Hi Bob 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@smileycindy]

That was thoroughly enjoyable. My dad is a long-time curler. We used to rent the local curling club for our family Christmas parties when I was younger so the kids got to play around on the ice, which gave us instant respect for our relatives who know how to play and make it look easy. Always remembering which foot the slider is on and not to put weight on it is a feat in itself. Then learning how to throw the rock hard enough to reach the target but not too hard so it doesn't go over. You guys did pretty good for first-timers!

[@debranielsen2002]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more, you said you like curling! My favorite Olympic sport. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Kaytrinelise]

You guys are so awesome! Its wonderful to watch you both just have fun together!

[@theholdernessfamily]

Curling really was so much fun!

[@Kaytrinelise]

@@theholdernessfamily thanks so much for making me laugh today. I so needed it. Hoping to go home from the hospital today. You both made my day!!

[@jamesheatherly4209]

Someone needs to tell Phil that there needs to be a Curling challenge on the Amazing Race.

[@OwlRTA]

there was a Curling challenge in Season 8

[@leahmergen5058]

These 2 are so perfect at what ever they do.

[@tamis479]

My husband and I are same age as you both but I think you guys are now America's Mom & Dad ! You both are incredibly beautiful, sweet, fun, caring and loving people! This sport is one out favorites to watch in the winter olympics.

[@judyaturner8754]

Loved the curling video. We are a curling watching family and we have been getting up at 1am and 7am to watch the Olympic curling. Mixed, Men's and Women's. Go Team Canada.

[@dacajungal]

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one that is obsessed watching Curling during the Olympics! My family thinks I'm nuts, but I love watching it. Thanks so much for the video, even though it was hard, it looks like y'all still had a blast Curling! Also, hoping y'all take home the prize on The Amazing Race! Love watching ya'll on there & I've got my family routing for y'all too!

[@intentionaloffside8934]

Thanks for promoting the game of Curling. We need to grow our sport and your support is awesome. ♥️🇨🇦 🙏🏼 🇺🇦

[@slonekettering25]

“Watch out Olympic!!” . . . . Proceeds to fall. Kim for the win!! 🤣🤣 Love you guys!

[@debbiethomas2622]

It was fun watching this and you guys “assisting” them on getting two of their points (your stone bumping theirs).

[@allisonkemper5533]

I watch you guys and I’m a curler. Fun to see your take on the sport! It’s definitely not as easy as it looks, but they let us play and have fun even if we aren’t great (yet). 🙃

[@jabradford32]

My boss is part of a curling club so I hear about it all the time. According to what I have learned from him is that you missed one important part of curling, and that is the large amount of alcohol consumption that occurs after the match is over ;)

[@MrSharpdrop]

I think that is the secret sauce of a lot of amateur sports, except SOME church leagues. 🤣

[@bstanley0072]

My brother is one of the pros in the video!

[@angelastone9005]

I love to watch curling! Thanks for showing how it is not as easy as everyone thinks.

[@wendya1250]

I haven't curled since high school in Canada. I notice some changes, like there wasn't a PVC thingy to lean on. Also the brooms are quite different. Sure wish we had a curling club here in Washington.

[@Skittl1321]

Does everyone use the lean on thing or is that a training aide?

[@wendya1250]

@@Skittl1321that's a good question!

[@madiantin]

Such a great video! But let's be honest, the real MVP of this video was that awesome pair of trousers.

[@jujube2407]

Norwegian curling team pants! I can't wait!

[@ccudmore]

People need to watch the movie “Men with Brooms” to understand the allure of curling.

[@darlouthia5153]

This is a great series ! Love this concept and of course you are always enjoyable 😉

[@chadlee2624]

Good grief Penn is tall. That poor man has further to fall and more spread doing the splits. This looked very fun, great job everyone.

[@AsbestosMuffins]

I always love how its a quiet solemn sport...everywhere outside of the US, because we shout our heads off at the stone

[@sarah-phillips]

This looks super fun! It’s so cool to watch, too. I’m so friggin excited for the Olympics!

[@robylove9190]

I love curling. It's my favorite Olympic sport. It looks like you had a marvelous time!

[@ThePlummerFamily]

Great video! You guys are so fun!! We love trying new things on our channel too!!

[@donnab6391]

My family tried curling 4 years ago after the last Olympics. It' pretty hard to keep your balance as you throw the stone and to throw it with enough force to make it down the sheet, but not too hard. We improved over the time of our lesson, but all in all, we weren't very good at it. It was fun to try, though.

[@kv1154]

Curled for 11 years. It is such a great sport with great people! Don’t give up, would love to see you curl again!!

[@rman8028]

I always say, 'Curling rocks the house! ' You curling aficionados catch the subtleties.

[@nancymartin6701]

Two favorite lines... "For all the sweeping I do at home, I thought I'd be better at this" and "Big burrito coming in hot"!! I love watching curling during the Olympics! And love that you got yelled at when Penn mentioned shuffleboard. HA!!!!

[@MrSharpdrop]

And then he kept making it worse! 🤣

[@exinilda]

Curling is my favorite winter sport to watch. This was awesome!! ❤️❤️❤️well done for trying something new!!!

[@fionasharp595]

Aw guys - you make the best videos. As a Scot I love watching curling and you just made it even better. You need to follow the Olympics Team out to the Winter Olympics and entertain everybody there as well. Good job on your first effort though. You really made me laugh.

[@muppet-fan]

This looks like it would be fantastic for developing core strength. Now I want to find somewhere to do curling in Arkansas. lol

[@pamelapilling6996]

You will have such fun curling Penn & Kim. I urge you to continue.

[@RollOfTheDyseYT]

Best sport ever🎉🎉🎉 I started curling a long time ago, our town had a junior program, almost every Alberta small town I have been to has had a junior program

[@gypsybelle4757]

This was sooo Fun!! Loved this episode!

[@ameliayoung1133]

im enjoying this channel so much !! super glad your amazing race podcast got reccommended !! hype for the olympics and rooting for you in the upcoming legs of the race

[@tbgrace]

When I was little my parents used to curl in a bonspiel put on by my dads work company. Finally a bunch of years later I got to play and oh my goodness was my knee sore from always banging it on the ice when I threw the rocks. Very fun sport though

[@triciag3311]

I LOVE Curling and have always wanted to try it. This is awesome. You two always crack me up! Curling is so fun to watch. One my favorite Olympic memories is when our USA guys got the gold last time. I stayed up half the night to watch that! 😂

[@jayblake682]

TIL that shuffleboard is a 4 letter word.

[@dustinjolicoeur6138]

It’s a Roomba. You cannot tell me otherwise. Calling it a Roomba forever and ever amen

[@crazymeimei]

Here in Cheyenne, WY, we do Chicken Curling every winter! You should come out and try it!

[@johnatkinson4543]

Beer kegs in the background. Says it all!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Loved it! I grew up with heavy old curling stones in our house - my dad bought them in Scotland and I still have no idea why. He never did this 😂

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Good job Penn and Kim - curling is fun to watch.

[@Taracinablue]

Hey, that's fun that you got to go and try it!

[@michellekorn3693]

Is that a cannabis leaf on Penn’s jacket?😂. Curling is my favorite Winter Olympic sport!

[@cherylepp1080]

The word you need is 'hurry.'

[@parkerkaufman2754]

I feel like this is basically bocce ball on ice 🤣🤣🤣

[@B3_6]

i found your youtube channel from watching the amazing race and i must say, i love your videos.

[@barbdoherty3213]

Haha, I loved this and you're right. They always make it look so easy so it was fun to see you guys attempt this without knowing what you were doing.....much like I would. Lol

[@heatherdoty6128]

Great video! My family has always loved watching curling, but like you, we have never tried it.

[@danicacopp8376]

InLOVE our “Midwestern” friend!

[@jillthetree9173]

I love curling ! :O)! so much fun you guys

[@donnakemp-drysdale4309]

You two are such good sports . Looking forward to your entire winter Olympic events. As a Canadian it warms my heart to see you enjoying the ICE !!! I suggest you try the skating parts - speed skating longer blades easier to balance. Then figure skating. Balance is key. Then hockey.more skills required with this sport - skating plus stick handling plus passing plus shooting. Just sayin’ progressing up to the trickiest one might be better.

[@GenXNick]

Shuffleboard :) :) LOL

[@leener33gmail]

We tried curling a few years ago too, and it was kind of awesome.

[@Devina210]

That was hilarious! I expect you'll be doing all sorts of short vids on the different Olympic sports - those will be great to see!

[@laurabuckles7961]

You all did an amazing job for first timers, good on 'ya! I think the closest I'll get to curling is the tabletop game set I put on my Amazon wish list awhile ago, after coming across some playoffs for the Olympics on TV. 😊

[@tjansson8481]

Where's Steve? Great clip, laughed a lot. Curling is like watching paint dry, I'm addicted to it!

[@cindivorkapich2252]

This has nothing to do with the video (except that its for Kim and she was in the video!) but I have been waiting for a new video from you guys to post this! Since I know how much Kim (cough cough) HATES Target I saw this and immediately thought of her! Saw this posted on my local coffee stand (BONUS! another thing Kim loves!) "not all who wander are lost. Some are just Moms in Target" (your welcome ! lol)

[@propheticoasis]

I love curling!!

[@susanalger8413]

You guys are a blast

[@elbow7991]

This was great! I always wondered how they scored. Now I know!

[@vickywalker8472]

Love you guys

Where did Penn get his tracksuit? They look amazing.

[@kathleentayl]

Way cool loved this blog!

[@erlyne0]

What fun! Thanks for highlighting a sport that is not nearly as well-known as it should be.

[@laurajones6486]

You guys made it look so fun. Made me want to learn curling.

[@marielarcos8736]

I just finished amazing race canada S3 and there was a curling head to head challenge. Glad to follow up with this video

[@lindagarner723]

I have tried curling on a vacation and had a blast. As an older person with less flexibility, I was given modified approaches... no lunges. It was still difficult and still fun. So, just because you can't see yourself doing it the way you see the Olympians playing, don't think you can't enjoy the sport.

[@intolerant_left]

SHUFFLEBOARD!!!

[@gramadebi2761]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Y'ALL!

[@williamphillips5677]

Snowborading is my Favorite Winter Olympics sport shuan white

[@shilohmjh7628]

I love Penn’s confidence 😁

[@kevinhilbrunner3439]

It my favorite sport and part of 2 curling clubs in New Hampshire to get as much curling ice time as possible. There is a lot to learn with this sport, such a aim, the correct weight, sweeping techniques, the Skip calling good shots and so on. GO TEAM USA 🇺🇸 GO FOR THE GOLD...

[@jjthek]

It does look so fun

[@hemaccabe4292]

That was a lot of fun. Thanks.

[@mattsully2238]

I like how there's Gatorade in the background. I love me some curling but +90 minutes max effort cardio? Not exactly requiring electrolyte replacement here

[@danielblumentritt9762]

Yeah, it's obviously really difficult to do well, but it's not exactly a crazy workout. Like, darts is really difficult to do well. Fishing is really difficult to do at a pro level. Chess is really difficult to be an expert at.

[@tonyaappling8597]

I actually watch the curling, so thus was SO much fun to watch. Onto the next event!

[@JenniferJane78]

Just to make it more difficult is to keep your knee up and balance with your stick. It is also not really curling if it does not sound like a porno. In Canada the winners by the losers drinks. Pretty good for a first try, hurry hard next time!

[@samculbertson1584]

Curling is my favorite sport after I watch 2018 Olympics. I got fascinated and it grew on me. Go Team USA!!! or Go Team Holderness!!!

[@nelsonaguiar4361]

I love to see curling, looks fun, to bad i have a bad leg

[@laurad3497]

We curled once a year for several years. Was a fun outing with friends!

[@kevinray1382]

Now I'm guessing next episode of the amazing race will be them doing this

[@brucewallace3860]

On one side of the coin, Penn’s subtle warm-up suit is stellar! So GQ. On the other side of the coin, Penn didn’t nearly drown trying. #SwimOlympics. Win-Win!!

[@rileyl1315]

Thank you holderness family!!

[@Sav00627]

I love the energy in these videos

[@farside268]

Interesting choice of jacket logos.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that! Had to be a low key shout-out, right?

[@mackenziewhite8107]

You both did great! From what I can tell. I've never curled (done curling?). And where did you get those cool ombre masks?

[@JYYB]

Next BOB SLEDDING!!!!! Hahahahaahaa

I do curling and it is so fun This was amazing to watch
