      You should get together with Corey from Live Each Day and change the ADHD platform. You both feel the positive and negative aspects. I think he might be into it, he made a video showing his brain on each personality he feels and it is hysterical and shows how crazy it can be in the brain when you have this stigma based brain alteration. It is so refreshing that people are so much more accepting of other people right now and it is because of people, dare I say hero's, like you!! Thank you!!

    Kim and Penn, you are more than just “people who make videos.” Your videos were and still are a beacon of positivity during the crazy times that we are in. Don’t EVER use “just” to describe how amazing you are.
    Also, Penn, I have ADHD as well. And my 18 yr old son was diagnosed at 17 during the pandemic. I love that you, too, think it is both a superpower and a “curse” simultaneously.
    I teach math to high school kids that “don’t get math.” The first thing I tell students is that “I have ADHD use it as a superpower.”

    I just watched the "A Good Wife" clip, and y'all, you may be the "old" couple, but this is the kind of stuff that makes you golden. Experience in marriage is what leads you to pre-plan how to talk kindly to each other. To pray for what you know will be difficult for your spouse. Handling the emotions in a way that is healthy for your marriage is the advantage of the experienced, and y'all clearly have that!

Kudos to CBS for taking time to highlight this on the Amazing Race episode. Thank you, Penn, for being an inspiration and showing that some things in life that are often viewed as a weakness can indeed be a strength. God bless you and your family!

    Pretty much everyone knows about Brexit by now, but I didn't know Norway wasn't a member of the EU until last night. It was interesting how within the same episode, Penn's ADHD was both a gift at the puzzle and a curse at the Roadblock, but to be fair the rail mail was surprisingly simple compared to most Roadblocks!
    Just gotta say also, kudos to you guys for being the most patient cast The Amazing Race ever had. We saw in the preview the moment Phil announces the filming shutdown at the end of next week. It must have been agonizing to wait a year and a half to finish.

I also had a liver transplant in April of 2018 that failed in September of 2018 and then another transplant in October of 2018 so honestly watching anything steady fell out of favor for us.

    You guys do not give yourself enough credit! I've been one of the people who have said you guys needed to win a humanitarian award for keeping the hopes of Americans alive through comedy relief and realism for 2020 COVID pandemic! I looked forward to your videos because it was normal people who had an opportunity to let the spirits of other people who are all going through the same thing- same time- but had no platform to share with. So just because you haven't been on Oprah, or Ellen, or any other type of talk show doesn't mean that what you did or do is not important to other people. And especially with Penn talking about ADHD - and Penn, I felt your pain so much as someone who also has ADHD. One of our biggest fears and affirmations that we enforce on ourselves with ADHD, is how much we let other people down because of our ability/disability. And I appreciated both the time and attention that the show spent acknowledging that - both the good and the bad, and Kim your amazing support being shown because it takes very special people to help us through our lives. So please don't underestimate how much you influence People! ETA: yes I wondered when this was taped because I saw this hugging, and kissing, and talking to strangers.. no masks! So I knew this was pre-covid in some way or post covid... Post Delta ...pre-omicron?!? LOL! So I'm looking forward to you next week's understanding of how this went down. Great job guys! I think I've only watched a couple episodes in the past of Amazing Race, I'm watching for you guys!

It’s why Kim feels she doesn’t need to “forgive” you in the instance. That “good wife” clip is a beautiful example of Mother Theresa’s quote, “If we have no peace, it’s because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” Kim, you demonstrated the grace and gift to understand Penn in that moment! I love that y’all tried to keep perspective in how you prioritize relationship and “the journey” over “the game,” and yet still enjoy being competitive! Woohoo!! I am LOVING this season.

    And, like you said tonight, the production side of the show would be super interesting to see & understand. I can’t even imagine the work behind the scenes. More info about that would be great.
    Looking forward to next week!

      I read somewhere that their amount of money is limited.

      The teams announce how much money they have at the begining of each leg which is used for items/taxis, etc. If the teams run out of money they can beg for money except at US airports but can not trade their possessions for cash-that is not allowed.

    Love hearing about all of the behind the scenes stuff! My family and I have been watching the Amazing Race for years and I always wanted to know how everything gets filmed, how much time everything ACTUALLY took, etc. So fascinating! We're rooting for you!!

    Love you guys! I take issue with just one thing. You aren’t merely creators of funny videos. As someone who lives alone, your videos were a lifeline to me during the “stay at home” portion of the pandemic. Your videos make people smile, laugh, and touch their hearts with joy. You were definitely among like company on the race… Don’t downplay the significance of what you do! You rock! Rooting for you!

    I don't have TV so I am watching your clips. You talk about how amazing the other people are etc., but you 2 and your family have helped hundreds of thousands of people get through the last 2 years, with humor, grace....common sense. As for the age, it does make a.difference with reflexes, etc. And given that you are fabulous for even getting chosen to be in the race. With the Race with Grace!!!!!

    I definitely felt the contrast of Penn and Kim with Kara and Ray in how they responded to Penn and Ray getting detoured on the road block

    I am rooting for you! What I love about this video is how you talk and then listen to each other. You also are so respectful to each other in this video and on the race that it is a great example.

  • @dhkjaeger

    You are there because you connect with so many people who are now watching the Amazing Race who never watched before. I have watched for years but it so nice to have someone I feel I know and can root for. Thanks for doing this.

  • @tasscrapper
    @tasscrapper 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I found you guys in 2020 with all your fun videos . . . I have never watched Amazing Race before and loved the first episode! You guys are the only reason I decided to watch and I can't wait to see what happens. It was so cool that the first destination was London because I've to some of those locations. Kim--that shot of you waiting while Penn was in the mail tunnel was so poignant to me. My daughter has anxiety and I could just see it on your face. Bless your heart for holding it together and then treating Penn with such grace when he got back. You two are both amazing people and so strong in your individual ways and so strong together.

  • @Sweet_Melissa22
    @Sweet_Melissa22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I liked the part when y'all were getting the clue from the phone booth guy, and Penn was like we're next and got the clue, and the guy said we should have just grabbed it. I was thinking, try and get that clue for Penn!!! I think he would have had a hard time!!!

  • @gillianlarson305
    @gillianlarson305 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was soooo excited to see you on Race. Your videos were my favorite rabbit hole to go down spending hours in the 2020 Pandemic. I love hearing your back stories we dont see. I was on Survivor and I know all about editing !!! You were also like me preparing for the Race like I did for Survivor.!! Good luck and I will be watching weekly.

    I have always enjoyed the Amazing Race. Having the two of you on it, makes it so much more exciting. I have a favorite team to cheer on! Then to follow the episodes with the vlog commentary - love it! Looking forward to hearing more of what happened behind the scenes.

  • @auntieali1
    @auntieali1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What are you guys doing here?? You are filling our hearts with JOY and laughter. You are bringing melodies into our lives when no one really feels like singing. Honestly, when everything feels rather sucky - we go to to TH-cam and we find the LATEST Holderness Family parody and we literally laugh our asses off. And that my friends is HUGE as in BIGGLY in this insane world in which we are living. Our family who now lives in Austin - but spent 25 years in Charlotte - appreciate you and your kids more than these few very inadequate words can express. You are appreciated xo xo

  • @patriciadurham643
    @patriciadurham643 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You two and your family have helped so many people with your videos especially the past two years. I went into depression in 2020 and your videos helped keep my head above water. So you both are so amazing in my book!!

  • @richardmahn7589
    @richardmahn7589 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    New to watching TAR, but expecially with the driving in Glasgow I realized, hey, they aren't teams of 2, but 3! There is always a camera person with them! That person has to always ride in the car with them, run with them, etc. etc. They even have to trust the person driving the car will drive well, and that the camera won't distract! So do the two we see get to know their camera person? Is the rule that you aren't to interact with the camera person? Does the camera person ever hold them up or complicated things? Just something I was wondering!

  • @TranscendingNormal
    @TranscendingNormal 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You two made me smile so big this episode! I absolutely can’t wait to see the rest of the season! I haven’t been this excited about the Amazing Race in years, I used to watch religiously, and then fell off the wagon. You two brought me back. Looking forward to next week and your recaps!

  • @cherifurr3935
    @cherifurr3935 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So exciting to be watching you! I love you guys and watched Penn years ago as a broadcaster in Raleigh. Watched your pandemic family videos ALL through the beginning of things. Funny, because I MOVED to Charlotte from Raleigh in 2018 a year after my husband died-watching the “19 months later” shows now. Very proud to have been fans WAY ahead of the Amazing Race. Waiting for Penn to break out in song (or put on a wig😂). Pulling for you!

  • @mantleofelijah

    I love you guys and have really appreciated this run down of your experience. Please don’t stop with the details - I’m not in the USA and won’t get to see it at all, so keep up the details please! God bless you. Self drive to Scotland should be interesting! A long drive on very different roads. Stick shifts and roundabouts! 🤣maybe old school map reading too! Oh boy I wish I could see it so please describe every detail!

    Before this series I have never watched more than one episode. Now I am in it for the duration because of you and I love the show. I am amazed at some of the difficult challenges you have to face. I look forward to each week’s episode.

    @lucyreads5540 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    40:15 I was thinking the same thing! I’ve watched the show for years and there’s never been an easier roadblock. I think that was the trick. You guys did so well though!

    • @joyannam13
      @joyannam13 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You’re right - that probably was the trick. I’ve never seen one that easy.

    I can't tell you how much I've been anticipating the next Amazing Race episode ... it's been my covid escape ... and now with you guys on it I'm fully obsessed. Thanks for being so generous with your time and sharing all these 'extras' with us!

  • @coreymarch8043
    @coreymarch8043 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You guys are awesome. Only reason I watched the amazing race- and now I'm hooked and binging all the seasons. Your teamwork and strength as a couple really showed. Also I have ADHD (artist) and I embrace the superpower aspects too and I appreciate Penn's championing of ADHDness.

    @debbihuff6870 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love this! Thank you for providing this insight! I always wondered how the participants reacted to the finished product. You guys are great. I used to like the ‘Elimination Station’ clips Amazing Race had years ago. This is even better. Thank you for sharing !!

  • @jfren484b
    @jfren484b 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    For the little description for your team, it should have been “Iron Man 3 co-stars”. 😂 I’m shocked to see you were both in that film, and I’m going to have to rewatch it now!

  • @micheletomei3670

    So much fun to hear all the behind the scenes stuff - I'm a production nerd, too, so I hope that web series happens! Have to say 2 things - 1, Penn, thank you for showcasing the good and the bad of ADHD. It's so hard to deal with it sometimes and no one understands it, so thank you for helping the millions of the rest of us out by showcasing it! 2) I watched the first half last night at home, and the second half while getting 11 staples in my leg after a bottle mishap in my kitchen, and the first thing I saw in the ER was Penn falling, so thank you for the laugh, and for keeping me and my BFF company in the ER. You guys are awesome and I so hope you make it to the end, at the very least!!

  • @Dutchrebecca

    @emmastonehouse 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I am so thrilled you are doing this! As a long time Amazing Race fan, seeing the behind the scenes through your eyes is a true joy. Something I'm curious about: do you have the same camera/sound person the whole race? And how much are you allowed to interact with them?

  • @lisabunch3959

    You guys are so right about darts in England. I was a teen when I accidentally found my dad’s dart competition trophies.
    We live in America and my dad is so humble and sweet. I realized he was just a cool British guy and loves the best music, played and coached on football teams in England, eyes still glue to a match when they come on, etc.
    You guys are so cool!

  • @bruceharper3049
    @bruceharper3049 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! I have always wanted them to do a behind-the-scenes show that gives a look at everything that goes into making the show -- like fitting in the crew with the team in taxis, getting on a flight, and finding the challenges.

  • @purple4relay727

    Listening to part of the pod cast. I work as a mental health counselor in Kansas City and waiting on a client. You mentioned that you guys didn't feel like you could compete with these heroes and people that have done significant things. Guys. Just want to encourage you that during the quarantine last year, you gave a lot of people hope with your witty songs. You're living your dream and keep doing what you enjoy. It matters. You kept fun and happiness alive when those things seemed in short supply. Keep up the great work.

    This is amazing! I've never watched the Amazing Race before, but I started seeing your videos come up on Facebook during the pandemic and since you started the Amazing Race right before the pandemic, I think it's only fitting that I cheer you on!!! Good Luck!!!

    I love the recap and behind the scenes details. And for being so true to you. My son has ADHD and I try to help him understand the positivities and negatives and this was a great example. You made it through band helped each other!
    All tasks except for the art one looked a bit easier than normal. I am sure it didn’t feel that way! I was wondering if they had to make some changes because COVID was coming.
    I can only imagine how hard it is watching yourselves at highs and lows. Don’t be hard on yourselves. At the end of the day, you are surrounded by love.
    PS, I would totally be into a TH-cam series about the production process.
