Show Notes
It began with a shotgun, a missed shot, and a very nerdy debate.
In this record-breaking episode, Shane and Duncan track the origins of the Guinness Book of World Records, uncover the publishing quirks that made it a global phenomenon, and spotlight some of the most astonishing, hilarious, and downright unhinged feats ever committed to paper.
From competitive juggling to tattooed seniors and flaming jump rope enthusiasts, this is one for the record books.
