- (FBE) So today, we are going to do a challenge
that elders have struggled with in the past.
- Great. - Really? And what will that be?
- (FBE) This is going to be a Try Not to Sing Along Challenge.
- Okay. This is gonna be hard, 'cause I love to sing.
- You know, the reason it's harder for the elders is because, you know,
as you get older, you give a [bleep] less
what people think of your voice, and you just wanna have fun.
- (FBE) So as always, here's our rules.
There's no singing, but also no dancing.
You can't move to the beat, and you can't lip sync.
- Okay, so like a stone, robotic.
- (FBE) So, we aren't going to X you out of the video if you lose,
but let's see how you do. - Okay. That's easy. I think.

I love that song.
- Marvin Gaye is one of the greatest.
This type of song, it puts you in the mood
in all kinds of scenario, especially obviously,
I'm sure you know, when you're dating.
- Music that is sexy is sexy because it gets inside your veins
and your body has to move.
- I hear that on the radio, I'm cranking it up,
driving my car. Thank you. I lost the challenge.
- This is fun. I really enjoy it.
- I couldn't stand it, because I love to dance,
especially when I was younger and those were my songs.
- This time, I managed to make it all the way through
without singing along to any of these truly great songs.
- (FBE) So this challenge continues to be a difficult one for the elders.
Do you think it's more fun to try to win the challenge
or is it more fun to just give in and sing along?
- Oh no, it's more fun to jump in and sing along.
Adventure isn't about winning or losing on your adventure.
It's about enjoying your adventure.
- Just having fun with it! Why go for the win?
- If you have fun, you're winning.
- Honest to God, I used to try to go for the win.
Now, I don't care, 'cause that was so good.
You guys did a good job.
- I don't wanna win. I want my soul
and feeling to come out. It's more fun that way.
