- I've got a few things I can't have you see right now.
- Are you putting mascara on me right now?
- Ya'll were like dirty and nasty.
And because you're 6'5, that just looks like a giraffe.
- Like a pterodactyl. - Trying to figure out birth.
(laughing)
(country music)
(laughing)
- Hey what's going on it's Penn.
Where's, where's everybody else?
Ah, I am on a solo trip
to actually do something with Clorox.
It's like a fun, crazy food fight thing that
I'm not really sure about but
I flew in last night.
I'm just outside of San Francisco
in a town called Pleasanton.
I've been up already for two hours,
I've had two cups of coffee,
I've gone to work out,
I've had breakfast,
I've done a bunch of editing,
and it's 6:45 because I couldn't sleep past 5 o'clock.
Because of the time change.
Yay it's gonna be a fun day!
Alright so I'm in a lovely car on the way to this rehearsal.
Anytime I go on these things,
I miss my family because they feel very far away and
middle school is happening for my daughter and
my son has tennis practice and I usually take him everyday.
So it's kind of sad but
I'm super intrigued as to what's about to happen and
what the heck I've gotten myself into here.
So the town I'm in is called Pleasanton.
The trees are perfect, the sidewalks are perfect.
There are mountains in the background.
It is 70 degrees and sunny.
I think that's where they got the name.
Alright we're here.
It's a production studio.
Whoa.
Oh this is a thing.
Wow.
(playful music)
this is gonna be the coolest part of my video so far.
(Madigan laughs)
Please tell me your name again.
- I am Madigan.
- [Penn] This is Madigan, are you kidding me
with these things?
Madigan is a professional hand model and
those things are flipping perfect.
Look at these things.
Look at these busted up things and
look at all the wrinkles and just crud everywhere and
now look at those, there's absolutely
no imperfections on them.
So obviously there's gonna be some sort of like
shot where they're gonna need just close ups of hands.
- [Woman] Yeah she was doing it earlier.
- [Madigan] Yeah so I do wiping.
- [Penn] Oh okay.
- [Madigan] Spraying. - [Penn] I mean I'm just
getting here, I'm pretty sure this is
the most interesting part of this entire thing.
(Madigan laughs)
(playful music)
Okay we got people with lab coats.
We got like, what, a 30 foot jib.
Just so you guys, oh now this is interesting.
So there's gonna be scores, right.
Hi, how you doing?
- What's going on? I'm Anton.
- I'm Penn, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you Penn.
- I'm one of the guys on the show.
- Perfect.
- But right now I'm shooting a behind the scenes thing.
- Awesome, well you can't see something real fast.
- What do you mean?
(laughing)
Oh is there a surprise? - There's a surprise.
- A surprise!
Oh I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go.
- But give me like 10 minutes then you can wander around,
but for right now. - Dude I don't mind at all.
- I've got a few things that I can't have you see right now.
- Okay, okay.
I'm getting very excited about this.
- [Anton] Perfect.
- Okay good.
You've got a lab coat.
- I do.
- I don't know what's going on here.
There's like a hand model,
they're telling me to leave, you've got a lab coat on.
Do you know what's going on?
- I do but I probably can't tell you.
- You can't tell me can you?
Okay.
And why do you have safety glasses on?
What's happening?
- Gotta make sure we protect ourselves when we're
- For what?
You can't tell me can you?
- I can't.
- Oh my god, okay.
Alright so I'm out of the make up room and
I'm starting to figure out what's going on
because look who walked in.
It's like two of my favorite YouTubers.
- Oh. - Oh come on.
- [Penn] It's Sam and Nia.
- Hey guys!
- We're in this together, is that what's
- We are!
In this together.
(laughing)
- We're singing.
So you know a little bit more about this than I do.
We're like starting to figure out,
you and I are going to be in a
an actual food fight. - I think so.
- With each other.
- I opted out because I knew what I was gonna be up against,
I was like I wanna let Nia do it.
- [Penn] So you threw your wife under the bus for that?
(Nia laughing)
- Yeah I did.
- You did, okay.
So we're also kind of like fanboy, fangirling here
because in a couple of minutes,
- [Sam] Fangirling?
- Alfonso Ribero is gonna show up and
we're both secretly on our own
wanted to try to dance snap with him and
I don't know how he's gonna take that.
- It's like will he love it? - He's not gonna love it.
- Or is that kind of like that thing he's sick of that.
- He's gonna roll his eyes and turn around.
- I've done more with my life!
- [Penn] If you were him and every time
you showed up somewhere and someone started
dancing like that, what would you
- Ugh, I don't know!
(Penn laughing)
- The veil is slowly lifting.
I've got great people with me so
this is getting better is what I'm saying.
- Yay! - We're getting better.
- We're being tacolicious up in here.
- [Penn] You're all craft, I'm so curious as to
what's happening over here.
- So we're making big taco pinatas.
- You're making a giant taco, yeah.
- We actually have finished ones that are right over there.
- So this is the before, - So this is the, yeah.
- And where's the after - [Woman] That.
- [Penn] We're gonna look at the after.
Oh wow, oh wow!
There's the after.
Giant.
- [Man] How delicious does that look?
- Y'all did some good work over here.
- [Man] Yeah.
- [Penn] Alfonso is just running the show now.
(woman talking)
- [Alfonso] Right, right, that would've been easy for me.
(laughing)
- These will go away, pinatas will come down right here.
- So the taco tower would be played here?
- Taco towers are right here.
- Here got it.
Then my ad libs will still be to them,
wink, wink, wink, back to the audience.
- So he's like such a professional.
- I know!
- Like he's over there like doing blocking.
- Gosh that's crazy. I feel like I don't belong here.
- No we do not belong here.
(Nia laughing)
- [Woman] You work on TV, you know.
- No but like are you listening, he's like blocking,
point A, point, like we're just throwing tacos!
- We're gonna be like what?
(laughing)
- We need one adult here and we didn't think
it was gonna be Alfonso Ribero but it is.
(clapping)
so we're about to run through the show and
I have to put my camera down and
you're totally gonna give me your footage right?
- Yeah, sure I'll give you some shots.
- [Penn] You can't say no now. - Absolutely.
(laughing)
- [Penn] I'm putting it right in your face.
- (laughs) I know right.
(laughing)
- [Penn] Thank you, thank you guys you're awesome.
- That'll be great.
- Okay we just did the run through.
- I kicked his butt. - In the run through.
(Nia laughing)
I mean did you come here to win the run through?
- Uh actually no, what am I thinking?
- You came here to win the real thing which is tomorrow.
- Oh yeah.
- [Penn] That was interesting though right?
They just kind of showed us - Yeah.
you can see like the wide shot of what we're gonna do.
There's like a lot of movement.
- [Nia] There is a lot of movement.
Lots of little markings that we have to follow which
I'm not used to, I don't know about you, but.
- Uh no, no it's been a while since someone told me to
stand on a piece of tape, so
(Nia laughing)
yeah it's gonna be fun. - Yes.
- Alright this kind of taking me back
to the old days when I worked for college sports television
and they had like very nice woman
putting makeup on me every morning because
it was 6 A.M. and I looked awful.
This is Alyssa.
- Hi.
- So yeah it's like a couple hours before we're doing this
kind of game show thing, and
are you putting mascara on me right now?
- Just some brow gel, clear.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Just clear. - Brow gel?
- Yeah, clear brow gel. - Okay.
So my wife claims that I look like one of the senators
from Gladiators because my eyebrows are so wily.
Do you have a comment on that?
- They can use like a little bit of taming.
That's why I put the gel just to
kind of clean it. - Okay, okay.
Okay we just had another rehearsal.
I guess we're like 15 minutes from like
going live for this thing?
So there's Sam.
He looks super nervous.
- I'm very nervous for you guys.
- Yeah.
- Penn Holderness from the Holderness Family.
(game show music)
Penn is a semi-professional grocery cart mechanic,
speaks Spanish, only on Wednesday, and
once auditioned to play M.J.'s butt double.
Yeah, looking good!
- That is not...
- [Cameraman] Action!
- Alright. - Alright.
- Hey guys! - Yeah, hi.
- Oh hey, hey, hey. - Hey!
- Hey we're just gonna start, we all wanna start.
- It's a battle,
it's a battle for the start of the interview.
- This is my vlog!
- It's both of ours, we're co-shooting this.
- It's my vlog, it's my vlog!
It's a double vlog. (Nia laughing)
- Oh man. - It's a double vlog.
- So, go ahead.
- We just finished shooting this great thing with
Alfonso and Nia and we're a little cleaner now.
- Yes. - Yes.
- I'm really happy because y'all were dirty and
nasty and might have even been smelly.
- We kind of need to see like some of the footage
before this because you were such a pro when
you walked out there and you mentioned how long
you've been doing this and we were like what?
- Well yeah I've doing it now for you know, 38 years.
I started when I was eight years old and
I think a lot of it is when you become a director also
you kind of understand how all the pieces work together
and so you understand kind of your part in all of it.
- You're an amazing dancer. - Thank you.
- You won, you did Dancing with the Stars.
I am a terrible dancer. - Okay.
- But every time I hear a 1980's song, I try to do the
- That, that, that thing. - Yeah.
- Right. - Does it have a name?
- Yeah, well it's called Carlton Dance.
- Yeah that's what we call it.
- Yeah we can call it The Carlton.
- And you saw me do that. - Right.
- Could you critique it?
- Um, well it's a lot of going wrong.
(laughing)
A lot happening that ain't supposed to happen in the dance.
- Okay.
- I think the key is leading the arms.
- Because I do the pop. - Right.
- Like I go up, up, pop.
- But you're getting the elbow out.
You gotta, you gotta, it's - So I gotta swing both.
- Yes. - Okay, you did a better job.
- I did it, I did it!
He was telling me I was wrong, I was going like,
- So, so. - Right.
- But it's not at the same time.
The arms lead and the body follows.
- Oh, you just blew my mind here.
- Right, so it's blam and then,
here's what's interesting.
So that's closer without the elbow being,
and because you're 6'5, that just looks like giraffe.
- Like a pterodactyl.
- Trying to like, figure out birth.
- Like that, okay.
(laughing)
Wait you already helped me a little bit with
leading with the arm. - Right, right.
Well you came here, you gotta get here and
that's the key that's the key.
- Alfonso. - Yes.
- You're my favorite person ever to go on this vlog.
- Thank you. - Ever.
- You're amazing. - Can we be friends now?
- Like best friends? - You're awesome.
We can, well how about just friends?
(laughs)
- Can we keep in touch everyday?
- Everyday, everyday but via online.
- Online, like I can talk to your people.
(laughing)
Seriously you are such a great sport,
thank you so much for doing this.
- You got it guys.
- Yeah this was awesome.
