The 5 People At Book Club 📚

I hate to admit that I'm a Nancy Nevershow 🙊 Which book club member are you? #bookclub #comedy #5people

Thanks for being here! We’re Kim and Penn Holderness of The Holderness Family. We create original music, song parodies, and skits to poke fun of ourselves, the world we live in, and (hopefully) make you laugh.

Follow us on your favorite channel!

Our viewers have become our family and we try our best to respond to comments. XO

Spot on! I would add “Deanne Didn’t read” and “Trudy tech challenged” and that’s my book club in a nutshell

"Charcooch!" is TOTALLY the drunk term for "charcuterie". 😂🤣😂

I relate to Kim's desire to stay home and Penn's ADHD. Plus they are creative and funny.

My friends and I just started a book club and our first meeting is tomorrow! I can't wait!!! We're doing something a little different. Instead of selecting a specific book, each month we're picking an author, or a genre, or a time period, and each member selects their own book to read and then talks about it. We've done this at casual gatherings in the past and it worked out so well, we decided to make it an actual thing! I'm going to share this video in an email with my friends right now. 😊 Btw, my favorite books are the classics, mostly Victorian classics, but since this month is Black History Month we decided to select something honoring black history. I read James Baldwin's "Go Tell it on the Mountain" and was blown away by his amazing writing and story telling!

I will say, I never watched this channel before however my wife and I are huge Amazing Race fans and "getting to know" Kim and Penn through that show and we freaking love them! They are so funny. Now we're definitely following their channel. Absolutely love the content, great job Kim and Penn!!!

How many kids does Tammy TooBusy HAVE?! Maybe Johnny is one of the twins! 😂 Also, now that alien romance movie with Edris Elba NEEDS to be made!

This group needs to solve crime. Or meet over True Crime. They each have so many different strengths and perspectives to bring to any situation.

I led a Great Books club one summer.
We got through A Tale of Two Cities (“I know, guys, hang on through the 200 pages of character/plot development and I promise the last 100 pages will have you ugly crying”), but we were kind of stuck at Taming of the Shrew.

Then I remembered that “10 Things I Hate About You” was playing down the street and was supposed to be based on that very play. We happily ditched our books, loaded up on popcorn, and settled in.

I was in a Perkins restaurant around 1: 30 one day and there was a table of what looked like four retired old ladies playing bridge. The waitress said they were among the "regulars" and came the same time same day every week.

My name is Patti and I am a planner. 😂😂😂😂 I love Penn as Tammy Toobusy!!! I have that hoodie he’s wearing!!! 😂😂😂😂

[lizsummer]

Nailed it! I’ve seen, and been, each of these types

[jayes]

Y’all were amazeballs as usual, but the Sunny cameo stole the show. 🥰 🐶 📚

I miss my bookclub. Thanks to COVID, I haven't seen anyone since June of 2020. This was hilarious.

I totally relate to Nancy Nevershow (although I'd def try to show up in person - but I relate to the feelings - I knew the eye level was totally deliberate and would never go lower). And my sister is the Tammy TooBusy.

BUT I've learned an EXTREMELY valuable lesson from that sister over the years - she gets a TON done including lots of time for real fun and active recreation outdoors with her family but so much of the time she always seems so hurried and chaotic and multi tasking. Her what I call constant "half-a&&ery" can be very frustrating. BUT it gets things done.

It also helps her that she can strangely live in the present quite well and has what seems like NO sense of shame or embarrassment and often no sense of self awareness how she comes across to others. And oddly, I see that as a strength and is inspiring to witness more often than not.

From watching her and spending time with her I've developed the mantra "half-a&&ed beats no-a&&ed every time, all the time".

I have perfectionist tendencies that I'm always fighting cuz I'm aware of how much they can get in the way and be anti productive. So this half-a&& stuff is great for someone like me to keep in mind and practice. Cuz perfection is absolutely the "enemy of the good" as the saying goes. Can't get everything done? What CAN you do and just do that. Just doing SOMETHING will build momentum and: Momentum = Completion.

Penn rocking out looking like Andy Dick circa 1995! Love you guys! ❤️

Yall make make laugh so much, I always look forward to your uploads!
Penn reminded me of Garth (Wayne's world) with that wig and glasses vibe. And I loved your response with never show Nacny about tilting the laptop camera🤣🤣🤣

Love this! Thanks for the laugh. I have to say when I got the email today from you that said "Welcome to Book Club" I got excited. I thought you were legit doing a book club with your community. I loved the video, but wanted to ask -- why don't you do a Zoom /FB Live/YouTube Live book club with your community? You have fun, like-minded peeps who follow you and it might be a fun way to connect monthly. You could start with your book. Just an idea. Move over Oprah and Reese! Also want to say I relate to your family on so many levels. I'm Gen X, parent of 2 teens and a tween, Amazing Race fan, ADHD household, lover of 80s music, etc. Your videos really resonate and make me laugh just when I need to. Thanks for making the world a brighter place!

I’m a combo of Tammy and Nancy. The kids keep me super busy, so I never show for adult things. Being an introvert doesn’t give me motivation to go either. 🤷‍♀️
