Hey, everybody. I'm Kim Holderness and I've been Holderness. Welcome to the Holderness family podcast. I try to become an ASMR. Apparently ASMR people make a lot of money and ASMR influence are except for that now my

misophony is kicking in. I really don't like the mouth. It's too it's too moist to say. Oh my god. No, sorry. So people just wrecked their cars that they're listening to this in their cars. They've not wrecked. Some people like this sort of sound.

Okay, please back up. This could get me out. Okay. Okay. Anywho. Let's try again. Um, I'm Kim Holderness and I'm pen Holderness and welcome to the Holderness family podcast today. It should be fun.

This is fun. Z's but before we get started, we always have to do the really cringy thing where we tell you about all the things we have. It's not cringy. It's cool stuff that we've made. I know. I have to say we have this new pickable y'all sweatshirt. It's in the shop. Uh huh. And it's this really light with kind of Terry.

Yeah, it's like a tweener. Yeah, it's a and it's so cute and it's like this Heather Gray. And I'm wearing it all the time. I love it. And also family face off is in target. You guys. That's very cool. And this has been a fun summer for us. I think. Look, you don't have to buy the stuff that that we are putting out there, but we're really proud of a lot of it. I mean, not all of it, but I think we're proud of. We are we're proud of all. Including we have a partnership with sell Kirk now. And so we sell pickleball paddles as well. If you go to sell Kirk

.com, you can shop the Holderness collection. And they've been out for about a week now. And I've gotten some really good reviews from people who I play pickleball with. They really enjoy the paddles. They think they're very good. And they think they're very good for the price.

I will say this. Okay. As a pickleballer who only started what a year and a half ago. And we play with we go on vacation, go to the beach. And I was just using just the freebie paddles they had, you know, just at the courts. And this I'm not guys. I'm still very on the beginner side.

And I lose more than I win. But when I switched paddles to sell Kirk paddles to these paddles, I did better. They have like a thing on their website where they show how they their technology, which by the way, I want to make sure it's very clear. We have nothing to do with the technical design of these paddles. If we did, they would melt in the sun in your hand, but they they figured it out and melting paddles.

Great. Anyway, let's get to the show. Yeah, we have who's listening to our nonsense. Um, right now, and we tap key producer Midwest neighbor. Yeah, friend, yes,

collaborators, songwriting partner. I mean, just going on and on. She's our podcast producer as well. You don't always hear from her. But we need her. We need to hear from her. Also, we love to hear from her. So, uh, hello, Ann Marie.

Uh, I'm back. I'm good to be back. I'm always here. You might just not always hear me like they said. Yeah, good. Thanks for having me on. You guys. Of course, what are we doing today? Take us through it.

Okay. So I am going to give a shout out to Sean Johnson and Andrew East from the podcast couple things and also just like hilarious content. You should definitely check them out.

They did a podcast over the summer that I thought was really fun. They've been married for a while now. And they asked how well do you know your spouse?

Mm hmm. So you guys have done things like this before. However, however, I think that I've come up with some good ones that are going to pull out some new stories, new tidbits for the people here.

And are these the sort of questions that if we put them in the show notes or put them in a blog that accompany the people could ask their partners. Is that the point here? I'm trying to learn. Yes. Okay. Yes. So I'm going to almost be quizzing you both. Okay.

To see if you have the right answer for the other. Oh, okay. And this definitely could be something fun that you could do with your partner. Okay.

At home. Is there a winner?

Because we like to win something.

Oh, there we go. Okay. I will make a little score card. I'll keep score for you, Penn. Just for you. No, no. This is more for me. Yeah, this is more for Kim. I don't need to win. I was asking on behalf of my wife.

So I only learned this about myself. I mean, I've been. I've been competitive my whole life. But at some point a few years ago, I'm like, oh, I'm not that competitive. And a good friend looked at me, but she's like, are you insane?

You're the most competitive person. I really, I hate to suck at things. So let's do this. And I will win.

Actually, you know, you're bringing up a good point because they did keep score because they're also very competitive. Sorry. Our friends, Sean and Andrew. So I will keep score. I'll keep the score. Okay.
