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 Vlogs and other nonsense to this channel as often as they can while remaining sane. Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments.

Shoutout to Kim for casually and confidently mentioning that she goes to therapy. You guys are so real and I'm here for it! 💕

[@kristennd12]

I love that, too! I am of the opinion that 99% of the population could benefit from going to therapy if they were willing to try it and put at least some effort into it.

[@piiinkDeluxe]

@@kristennd12 yes!! Me too! 😊 it took me so long to admit to myself that i need help but I've been in therapy for almost a year now and it's the best thing that ever happened to me! It changed my life and brings out the best in me. 😊

[@piiinkDeluxe]

Ngl though, it is an exhausting process, especially if trauma is involved but it is SO worth it! You need to be open for it and want to do it and your therapist needs to be someone you feel comfortable with and you're good to go. 😊

[@rachelppython]

Question for anyone who's found a good therapist, how did you do that? As a poor student I went to one of the university's therapists but I never felt comfortable or like I could be myself so it was exceedingly unhelpful, but at least it was free. Outside of school though, it won't be free and I don't want to waste money trying to find someone.

[@piiinkDeluxe]

@@rachelppython hi. 🙂 Mine was a recommendation by a friend of mine. So it took me like half a year till i finally called her, I'm glad i did though. Here in Germany, it is a bit different, a lot of therapists are free bc your health insurance pays. Mine isn't covered either, though. She is experienced in somatic trauma therapy. In case you live in the states, maybe Patrick Teahan can help you, he made a guide on how to find a good therapist. I'm not sure if there are other free options. I'll see later today if I can find the link for you. 🙂 The guy is awesome though, i watched a lot of his videos before i finally made the decision to go to therapy.

Hi Holderness Family! This has nothing to do with the video but I just wanted to tell you this; my mom follows you on Instagram and can relate SO much to your funny skits. She first heard about you when her friend texted her your video about "going back to school and what should we do"......I've never heard/seen her laugh so hard in my life. Then like a month later or something she heard the "I'm doing the best I can" skit and totally lost it at the "lunch meat for dinner" part haha. I just wanted to thank you for what you're doing right now and thank you for putting a smile on my family's faces :).

I was a kid at the time, instead of "just let me state for the record" I thought it said "just let me staple the vicar" in We Are Family 🤣 My friend thought it said "but the chair is not my son" in Billie Jean 😂😂

"Give me the Beach Boys and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away." I still prefer my misheard lyrics to the actual ones, which I only learned earlier this year! (Beat, boys, not Beach Boys.)

[@BlessedBeyondCompare]

The Beach Boys are nostalgic for me... had a 4th grade teacher who was OBSESSED with them and coached the Jump Rope Team... Every time I hear them, I want to jump rope. She was one of the best (if not THE BEST) teachers I'd ever had, and it always make me happy to hear them.

[@GoToPhx]

Ditto!

@@BlessedBeyondCompare That's awesome! My dad is the one in my life who is all about the Beach Boys. I think of him every time I hear one of their songs! And you had a jump rope team in 4th grade? That's amazing! I would totally have joined!

I have a huge misheard lyrics problem with Adele's Rolling in the deep when it comes to the backing vocals and I can't unhear it. When I listen to the song with the lead vocals I hear: "I'm never gonna be a sheep, never had man meat" When I only listen to the backing vocals (if you remove the lead vocals from the track entirely) it turns into: "I'm never gonna wear a sheet, never had man meat" 😅

[@TaylorPeas]

[@tgayer1]

I thought Sia's "Cheap Thrills" was about her dumpster diving. "'Til I hit the dumpster, hit the dumpster, I got all I need. No, I ain't got cash, I ain't got cash but I got you baby"

[@klandersen42]

My misheard Sia was Chandelier was "I'm gonna swing from the shan de liason, from the shan de liason" real lyrics of course are "I'm gonna swing from the Chandelier" not "shan de liason". For another part of the song I also thought that it was just "one two three, one two three three" when it is really "one two three, one two three drink".

Just two days ago I learned that Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton were singing "Islands in the Stream," not "Island Industry." 🤦🏻‍♀️ What can I say, I was 7 when the song came out and heard it on crackly AM radio in the back of our Chevette (literally in the hatchback, my favorite spot, no seatbelt).
