- Hi! - Hello, everyone.
Happy Wednesday. - Did not sleep last night.
- You didn't, like - - At all.
- I slept okay but this was nuts, you were up,
babe you were up all night.
Are you okay? - The Amazing Race, season 33
premiers tonight!
- You wanna be there, right, you wanna be super excited.
That would make sense for us both
to be super happy about this because
we don't have any stress, like, we know -
- We know what happened. - It's not live!
- For those of you that don't know, The Amazing Race
is a legendary show, it's been going on for 20 years.
11 teams of two race around the world
in hopes of winning a million dollars.
- [Penn] It's been on our bucket list for years
and now it's here.
- Here's the thing, I think seeing the clips
and reliving everything is bringing about
all of the anxiety I had before starting.
- I'm sorry, baby.
Part of me wants to be like, why aren't you excited?
This is the fun part!
But I know, like, you don't have any control over this
and it's bringing back
things that happened that everyone else is about to see.
- I think the hardest part of the Race for me
was just getting to the start line.
Should we sit up? - Yeah, let's sit up.
- Okay. - That's better.
- Yeah. - Better, okay.
Okay, so we have some clips that CBS gave us
that we can show you about what happens on the show tonight.
It's not gonna give you any spoilers as to what happened
but maybe it'll explain kind of why we're feeling
like we're feeling today?
- And we're gonna answer your questions along the way.
I think the most common question we got was
could you talk to your kids?
No. - No.
So as part of the Race, they take your phone away.
So not only do you say goodbye to them,
you don't talk to them for a month.
You do not talk to them until you are coming home.
And they told us this before the Race
but it didn't make it any easier when it actually happened.
We actually, we saw the video of it.
- Bye! - Go, go, go!
- Okay, okay, come on! - Bye!
- Yeah, so I think seeing that
I start to like, get emotional all over again
thinking about like, they wanted us to go
and they wanted us to do that.
- They're pushing us, you hear Lola saying go!
- Go, go, go! - Like, they're like,
you're gonna lose, get out the door!
They were excited. - And again, it's not that
I didn't wanna go, this has been on my bucket list
for 20 years.
But it doesn't, it doesn't change the fact that
it was really, really hard.
We're gonna be doing weekly recaps on our YouTube
vlog channel, so make sure to subscribe there.
I think the most important thing
I'm gonna recap is when we peed during a leg.
- So that's, you, we got a lot of questions about that.
That was the second most-asked question that we had
and Kim actually has like, she has a hot take here.
Soapbox, go!
- I think this is why the race is harder for women.
Because dudes were just peeing anywhere!
- Well, I'm sorry, we're doing what?
- Just peeing anywhere!
But it was infinitely harder
for women on this race to find a place to pee.
- All right, I'm just gonna say,
there wasn't a ton of public urination.
I do understand what you're saying.
But for the most part neither of us would pee from,
I'm gonna just like, so here's the picture:
this is the start of the first leg, okay?
You're gonna see this tonight but this is like a screenshot.
From this point until we get to the finish line,
which you will see, is going to be dark.
- Many hours! - Nobody went to the bathroom.
- Or if you did, you just like, you just kind of go like
a little tiny bit in your pants.
- I didn't go a little bit in my pants.
- I did, I did.
Another question we got was, was the race harder mentally
or physically?
I would say both. - Yeah, I would -
- It's harder both. - I would say yes.
What's harder, mentally or physically?
Yes. - Yes.
One of the first challenges, and they put this clip out,
it actually features Penn's ADHD superpower.
It's the worst possible puzzle ever
because there's no clear, there's nothing to look at.
- This is together, I got it.
- You are so hot right now.
So I found his puzzle-making very, I was just,
I found his puzzle-making just really -
- I don't remember you saying that.
- I don't remember - - I'll be honest.
- So this was shot two years ago, pre-pandemic.
The first several episodes were two years ago, pre-pandemic
and apparently, puzzle-making makes me very attracted
to my husband. - I just don't know
why I didn't stop what I was doing when you said that
and just - - Take advantage of some
makeout time. - Right!
- But I guess maybe there was a lot of cameras on there.
- I have really bad ADHD but there's this thing called
hyperfocus where, when there's a task right in front of you
you can really commit like, every single bit of your brain
to it, it's kind of a cool superpower and it comes out
of the disorder.
We're there, we're there.
That was weird, 'cause like, watching myself ADHD out
and my eyes dart all over the place,
I don't think I've ever seen myself do that.
I'm a little weird-looking when I'm ADHD-ing out.
- I found it very attractive. - Okay.
- So, as you see there, ADHD served him well.
But did ADHD hurt us at all?
- There was one I really hoping that they would not feature
and of course they're gonna feature it.
And there's a picture of this moment -
- [Kim] The look on his face in this moment.
This picture - - Will be explained.
I thought maybe they would just cut this part out, no.
- No. - They didn't cut it out.
(laughing)
- Another question is are you two on speaking terms
because this race is famously hard on couples.
- Yeah, we made it a point, like, we looked at each other
when this started, and this doesn't always work by the way,
we made it a point and we looked at each other
and we said, let's just like each other when this is over.
So we tried to make that a priority as the race
was going on.
- I didn't realize that I was asking for like,
makeout sessions. - So she literally,
right before this picture, she says, can I have a kiss?
We've seen the video, and then we're like,
kissing in the middle of the race!
- That is not who, you guys know me,
I'm not like, an acts of affection or whatever it is
is not my love language. - But I guess it was
for this race, I don't know what happened
but I wanna go back to that.
It was awesome! - I was very affectionate.
And that is not who I am. - Why are you so surprised?
- Well, I mean, I love you and I like to make out with you
but like?
So will my anxiety hold us back, will Penn's ADHD
become a superpower - - Or hold us back?
- Or destroy it all?
I hope you'll join us on the journey, again,
we're gonna do recap episodes on our YouTube vlog channel.
- Why are you dancing? - I don't know, I just
feel like dancing.
Thanks for watching, bye!
