- [Penn] This summer, there are no Olympics,
so we invented the Fauxlympics.
America's real Olympians go for gold in a silly event
that we made up.
- Muscle up, buttercup!
Oh yeah!
- [Penn] This week, three time Olympian canoeist,
Casey Eichfeld.
(laughing) - Don't laugh.
Let's see.
- [Group] Yay!
- Casey, how are you? - Hi guys!
It's so nice to meet you.
- Oh my gosh, it's so great to meet you.
And are you the Disney Princess fan?
- Yeah, what's going on behind you.
- Uh, you know, I,
no, it's my wife, it's my wife.
(laughing) Yeah.
- And we wanna start by getting to know you,
and we've got questions, and our kids even have questions.
Do you wanna start with yours, Penn Charles?
- What's the difference between kayaking and canoeing?
Both of the things look the same.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very astute, the boats do look very similar.
So the main difference is that I'm kneeling in the boat,
like a canoe, and I use a canoe paddle.
- I watched a video of you winning a canoeing event.
And I couldn't tell if you were winning
or doing terribly.
Like it's just a lot of- - The swell and stuff.
- For the untrained eye, it looks a little bit crazy.
- It's very confusing, and unfortunately,
I think that might be why the sport isn't like
football in this country because it's so hard to tell
what's going on.
If you touch the gates, you get a two second penalty.
And if you miss the gates,
go through it the wrong direction,
or upside down, it's a 50 second penalty.
- I'm sorry- - You can go upside down?
- Oh yeah, you can flip over.
- Well we love the Olympics as a family.
We were so bummed when they were postponed.
I'm sure you were too.
So tell me, how have you been dealing with that?
- So actually, for me it's been okay.
So in December, River was diagnosed with cancer.
And so I was really hard to, sorry,
it was really hard for me to be able to travel.
And I thought that I was gonna retire, like,
wasn't gonna leave her.
So she actually just had her last chemo yesterday.
But, because of the postponement, and everything going on,
we can't travel or compete for the season,
so it actually, at least for me, as horrible as it is,
there is the silver lining that I get to stay home
with my family.
- And we are so sad, we know you were on your way
to your fourth Olympics,
but you're going to take part in our Fauxlympics.
But you've gotta beat us in something
that you have no idea how to do,
and in this case, it is competitive candy eating.
Are you ready?
- I'm not even sure that my dietician allows me
to have candy.
- Well don't tell him then.
- You cannot use your hands.
So hands behind the back.
You'll start with it dangling in your mouth.
Okay ready, on your mark, get set, go!
Okay, oh my gosh, Penn Holderness, what the heck.
Oh my gosh, it's neck and neck.
Okay, oh my gosh, no, look at how fast Casey's going.
I don't know.
Casey, oh my gosh, you can tell he is a competitor.
And three, two, and he's done - Oh my god.
- He's done! - I can't believe that!
- He's done! - Muscle up, buttercup!
Oh yeah! - Dude!
- What! - I cheated.
- That was so fast! - I got halfway there.
- I got, oh my god, okay, I'm throwing this away
'cause this is gross.
- Casey, that was insane! - I cheated and used my hands.
- I've been eating at an Olympic level for 30 years now.
- I mean, if this whole like canoe thing doesn't work out
for you, I really feel like competitive eating
might be a thing.
- Casey, you have been awesome.
One thing left is the presentation of the gold medal.
Which we're gonna make you go get one
of your gold medals, 'cause we didn't send you one.
The winner of the Fruit By The Foot challenge,
the first ever Fauxlympics gold medal goes
to Casey Eichfeld.
- This is a total honor and surprise, oh my goodness!
("Olympic Fanfare and Theme")
- Woo hoo! - Good job.
- What did I just witness there?
- He used it with, if you practice Casey.
- I can't say thank you enough guys,
this was so much fun.
Like I said you guys give us smiles when we have
hard days, so.
- Everyone follow Casey at @TheMadKanuer.
- On Instagram. - Yep.
- Ugh my wife's just like,
"Maybe we should change your name."
I like it!
- No I like it, it works, it works.
Thanks for sharing everything with us.
Please give River a big hug for us.
- I will for sure.
(cheering) - Good job!
