WEBVTT

00:00:01.550 --> 00:00:04.629
That this person that wants to dedicate all this

00:00:04.629 --> 00:00:08.289
time, all this training, all this energy towards

00:00:08.289 --> 00:00:12.990
how long they can do the worm. Maybe a person

00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:22.149
have a hobby. Welcome to the show, people. Eat

00:00:22.149 --> 00:00:36.219
my shorts. So here is to conversation. Tranquility

00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:57.039
Base here. The angle has landed. Welcome to the

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.380
Cash Exchange. What up? How you been? Not too

00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:06.340
shabby. This is actually a much later recording

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:11.120
than we usually do, but I feel like I'm real

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.019
jazzed to knock another one out. How about you?

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:19.540
You had a night coffee, I heard. Yeah. Yeah.

00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:23.180
Gotta get my go juice. I was telling her mom

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:25.760
that I can't drink coffee past five, just on

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.840
personal principle, because I get... Like, I

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.459
work a night job. So I'm often not off of work

00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:36.359
until one o 'clock in the morning. And then if

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.659
I have any kind of caffeine during my shift,

00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:41.599
I will not fall asleep until like three or four.

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.060
And so my whole next day is shot. Yeah. I'm no

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:48.000
longer allowed caffeine past 5 p .m. That is

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.739
a risky run. Maybe we'll get some delirious conversation

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:55.719
out of you. There is an episode really early

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.959
on in this podcast where we recorded. I want

00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:03.519
to say it was later than this start. And I'm

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.840
pretty sure 50 % of it, I was just completely

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.340
dissociated. I was so tired that it was just,

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.620
it was, I think the second take of the episode

00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:17.259
that we were doing. Do you remember that? Yeah,

00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:21.300
it was the one where I was, I was going to San

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.699
Antonio. No, I was going to Houston. And so I

00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:29.740
stopped in Austin, which is not on the way, Is

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:33.159
that the one you're talking about? No, but keep

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.199
going. No, because that one we started recording

00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.860
at like, I want to say like 1230 in the morning.

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.060
And then we wrapped it up like around 330 or

00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:47.659
four. And then after that, we stayed up for a

00:02:47.659 --> 00:02:53.900
little while watching. What did we watch? It

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:58.939
was some stand up. Kill Tony, maybe. I know what

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.060
you're talking about. It wasn't... Oh, it might

00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:03.539
have been Kill Tony. It was something like that.

00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:10.280
No, it was Dr. Phil. Oh, Adam Ray's Where He

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.759
Meets Dr. Phil. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's what

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.300
we watched. That's the one where we caught...

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:20.460
That's where I manifested, just like Vin Diesel

00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:26.280
did. Mark Sinclair. Sorry, Mark Sinclair. Yeah,

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.500
that's where... money bags big wiener yeah money

00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:35.319
money bags don't like that i remember that uh

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.860
the episode that i was thinking of was uh i think

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:41.900
it's art versus the artist it was the second

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:45.419
in a like marathon recording session so we had

00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:48.319
already been one full episode and i'm pretty

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.840
sure we lost like we got half an hour in and

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.580
then it like cut out or something and so we had

00:03:53.580 --> 00:03:56.759
to restart And so we didn't end up starting until

00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.560
so, so late. And I was just delirious tired.

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:04.479
Had the world's biggest cup of coffee because

00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.979
for some reason all of your mugs are meant for

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:12.060
giants. Drank a half gallon of coffee and so

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:16.939
I was jittery the entire hour and a half. It

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:18.620
was long in that. I think the actual finished

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:20.540
product was like an hour and a half. So the three

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:23.689
hours of recording was just... I was about to

00:04:23.689 --> 00:04:27.810
explode out of my skin. Very fun. So now I'm

00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:32.629
not allowed coffee. Makes sense. I'm real glad

00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:35.269
we got those kinks worked out where we didn't

00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:37.649
make it an hour into an episode and lost everything

00:04:37.649 --> 00:04:40.310
and had to restart. Like with ghosts. I mean,

00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:43.850
yeah. We almost finished the entire episode.

00:04:44.089 --> 00:04:46.709
I am too. I think it turned out good. Take two

00:04:46.709 --> 00:04:48.750
was the best one. Unfortunately, we can never

00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:53.949
release that cut. It's lost to the ether. A lot

00:04:53.949 --> 00:04:55.870
of hoopla. All right. Do you want to know what

00:04:55.870 --> 00:04:59.649
your three things are for today? I sure do. Your

00:04:59.649 --> 00:05:04.089
three things today are Trivial Pursuit, The Pet

00:05:04.089 --> 00:05:09.209
Rock, and Flaming Dr. Pepper. Trivial Pursuit,

00:05:09.209 --> 00:05:18.189
Pet Rock, Flaming Dr. Pepper. Silly Creations.

00:05:20.069 --> 00:05:26.829
Interesting. Development stories. What is a flaming

00:05:26.829 --> 00:05:32.509
Dr. Pepper? So, a flaming Dr. Pepper also contains

00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:36.129
no Dr. Pepper. It is a Texan cocktail from the

00:05:36.129 --> 00:05:39.069
80s that involves lighting amaretto and rum on

00:05:39.069 --> 00:05:44.269
fire and dropping it in beer. Hmm. Gross. I'm

00:05:44.269 --> 00:05:47.069
curious. Don't want to try it, but I would like

00:05:47.069 --> 00:05:50.250
to see one be made, I think. Amaretto's gross.

00:05:50.829 --> 00:05:55.920
It is. It's a real pretentious drink, too. It's

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.800
like going out and ordering a brandy. Sir, you're

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.360
out of chilies. Calm down. You think they have

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.000
brandy at Chili's? Maybe a couple servers named

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:13.279
Brandy. Yeah. Trivial Pursuit. I feel like there's

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.040
an interesting story with the creation of that.

00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:19.639
I feel like there's always an interesting story

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.870
with the drinks. that get popular, like alcoholic

00:06:22.870 --> 00:06:25.670
drinks that get popular. And especially ones

00:06:25.670 --> 00:06:28.649
that you have to do all these extra steps to,

00:06:28.769 --> 00:06:35.670
like Irish Car Bomb. Was it a Vegas Bomb? Was

00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:37.990
that dropped in something? It's the Vegas Bomb.

00:06:38.769 --> 00:06:43.470
I think it's a drink that's mixed in a... I mean,

00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:49.170
I'm well, well past my novelty shot days, but

00:06:49.170 --> 00:06:52.279
I think it's... It's vodka and something else

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:57.379
and dropped into a Red Bull. It is whiskey. It

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:59.779
is Crown Royal, peach schnapps, cranberry juice,

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:03.839
and dropped in a Red Bull. There we go. I don't

00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.920
drink things like that, so I don't. That sounds

00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.620
like an immediate blackout. That's like something

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:15.399
you drink when you're... Celebrating your 21st

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.899
birthday? Yes. Or... You want to find the most

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:23.540
creative ways to drink alcohol when you're underage.

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.040
It's just like it's just like all the drinking

00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:34.720
games, the beer pong, which is so gross. So nasty.

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.899
If you walk into a house and that's the first

00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:40.199
drink that you have is beer pong. You have an

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.500
issue. You have problems and you need to you

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:46.579
need to get that sorted out. Was it King Cup?

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:52.379
yeah flip cup uh is king cup is the one with

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:54.980
the can right you put the cans under the tab

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:59.060
yes and whoever pops it has to chug it yeah yeah

00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:02.879
like come on just just drink your alcohol like

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.639
a normal person or don't drink at all that's

00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.420
what i guess that is a way you can also go uh

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:13.079
trivial pursuit and pet rock pet rocks are so

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.180
dumb so all Just genius marketing, but so dumb.

00:08:18.379 --> 00:08:21.560
I beg to differ. I support anything with googly

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.420
eyes. It's a weird place to draw the line, but

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:27.300
I support anything with googly eyes. One of my

00:08:27.300 --> 00:08:33.659
favorite October trends is when you just start

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:36.779
seeing all these videos of these women wearing

00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:42.519
white sheets with a hole cut out in the boob

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.190
area. It's just poking through with googly eyes.

00:08:47.370 --> 00:08:51.370
I don't know. It's not even a sexual thing. It

00:08:51.370 --> 00:08:54.990
makes me feel the warm and fuzzies for the spooky

00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:59.370
season. Sure. You like to see those boo -bees.

00:09:02.470 --> 00:09:06.029
There's usually googly eyes there, too. I have

00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:08.090
literally no idea what you're talking about,

00:09:08.210 --> 00:09:09.750
so I don't know if I'm on that side of the internet.

00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:13.509
People know what I'm talking about. I believe

00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:16.710
the people do, just not this person. I'll send

00:09:16.710 --> 00:09:20.250
you some examples later. This is the reason that

00:09:20.250 --> 00:09:27.750
I deleted all my social medias. I have no clue.

00:09:29.230 --> 00:09:32.370
I'm trying to cross -reference your three things

00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:34.549
with everything that I know is on the list. And

00:09:34.549 --> 00:09:36.809
you could just be throwing me a curveball. And

00:09:36.809 --> 00:09:41.049
I just, I draw on the blank. So you did get pretty

00:09:41.049 --> 00:09:44.850
close to it. The first thought that you had when

00:09:44.850 --> 00:09:47.330
it comes to all of this stuff is they all have

00:09:47.330 --> 00:09:50.490
these weird origins. All of these were ideas

00:09:50.490 --> 00:09:54.269
that came about in a bar. They were all things

00:09:54.269 --> 00:09:57.789
that were founded in bars. The idea for the Pet

00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:01.889
Rock, the idea for Trivial Pursuit. Trivial Pursuit,

00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:06.029
if I remember correctly, was brought about because

00:10:06.029 --> 00:10:08.970
there were people who were really into trivia

00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:11.450
and they decided that board games were just...

00:10:11.669 --> 00:10:14.929
There was just too much going on. It was just

00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:18.090
a lot. And so they decided to make their own

00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:21.009
trivia game that was fairly simple, which ended

00:10:21.009 --> 00:10:24.009
in Trivial Pursuit. But the idea for it came

00:10:24.009 --> 00:10:26.350
in a bar. So you did throw me a curveball. This

00:10:26.350 --> 00:10:29.789
wasn't on our list. It is. It is? Because that

00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:33.669
is how those things connect. But it is not the

00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:36.269
topic of the episode just yet. Oh, God bless

00:10:36.269 --> 00:10:40.529
it. Give me a second. I was building. Oh, I'm

00:10:40.529 --> 00:10:43.409
sorry. I didn't mean to steal your thunder. Do

00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:46.269
you want to know one of the other great ideas

00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:50.450
that was built in a bar? Yes. Yes, I do. The

00:10:50.450 --> 00:10:54.330
Guinness Book of World Records, which is on our

00:10:54.330 --> 00:10:57.250
list. And I accidentally tied it all together

00:10:57.250 --> 00:11:00.809
talking about the Irish car bomb. Yeah. Look

00:11:00.809 --> 00:11:04.730
at me. See, you were on the right path. You were

00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:06.750
so close in the beginning. I was like, there's

00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:08.610
no way he doesn't know what episode I'm talking

00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:11.600
about right now. Dang it. You were on it. You

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.820
nailed it. You were just a shade away from the

00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:17.980
answer. But I would be interested in doing an

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:21.960
episode that is just based around bar ideas.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.799
So I did a decent deep dive into it to see A,

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:31.159
what my three things for this episode could be

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.139
and B, I got a little ways in and I thought maybe

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:36.460
it could be its own episode. There's not honestly

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:40.440
a ton. unless you start lowering your standards

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:46.360
for what ideas were made at a bar. So like J

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.080
.K. Rowling got the idea for Harry Potter when

00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.559
she was on a train, but she wrote a lot of it

00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.100
at pubs and cafes. Do you consider that a bar

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:59.259
idea? Kind of. A little bit, yeah. And so it

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:04.000
was a lot of that gray area. Tinder came about

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.360
because the... founder was people watching at

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.840
a bar and was just watching this just bad date

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.159
on bad date or like people getting hit on. He

00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.259
thought, Hey, what if I made money off of that?

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.500
What if I could make this worse? Hmm. Interesting.

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:21.759
Okay. Yeah. Uh, yeah, I'm all for talking about

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.059
the Guinness book of world records. It was very,

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:29.340
uh, it was very instrumental growing up for me.

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.419
No, no real reason why, like it's not, I wasn't

00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:36.019
trying to settle any bar bets and, the fourth

00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:39.820
grade. But it was nice to have that knowledge

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:44.159
at hand. I also remember it being such an integral

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.480
part of growing up. And I think a lot of that

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.639
is associated with the Scholastic Book Fair.

00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.299
That's what I was going to say. Because they

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:53.000
were all aggressively marketed with the Scholastic

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.299
Book Fair. I don't need to know the longest fingernails

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:59.720
in the world. It was not helpful for me to reference

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.879
that. But every single year, the new shiny cover

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.759
of 2009's guinness book of world records which

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.580
have i would imagine all been sunk by this point

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:14.700
yeah it was that and uh ripley's believe it or

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:18.120
not books were all the rage at this classic book

00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.440
fair actually do you want to know uh a fun fact

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:26.279
i learned uh that is related to this scholastic

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.590
company do you know that Do you know what the

00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:33.450
original title for the first Harry Potter book

00:13:33.450 --> 00:13:36.169
was? Like the UK version? The Philosopher's Stone?

00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:39.330
Yes. Yeah, the original title was The Philosopher's

00:13:39.330 --> 00:13:41.590
Stone. Did you know Scholastic is the reason

00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:48.710
that it was changed from Scholastic or from The

00:13:48.710 --> 00:13:50.929
Philosopher's Stone to The Sorcerer's Stone?

00:13:51.330 --> 00:13:54.610
Did they think that American kids didn't know

00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:55.450
what a philosopher was? They thought we're too

00:13:55.450 --> 00:14:00.250
dumb to know what a philosopher was. But we know

00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:03.250
what sorcerers are? Come on. They wanted to change

00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:06.610
it to something real silly. Yeah, they said that

00:14:06.610 --> 00:14:10.190
the word philosopher sounded too academic and

00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:13.370
studious for American children to be interested

00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:18.309
in it. But the thing is that the philosopher's

00:14:18.309 --> 00:14:23.490
stone is like an actual, like, I don't know if

00:14:23.490 --> 00:14:25.629
it's like a folktale. It's like a thing that

00:14:25.629 --> 00:14:29.919
existed before Harry Potter. And so they just

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.259
threw that out the window and they're like, yeah,

00:14:32.259 --> 00:14:34.039
we're going to go with this. And then they had

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.299
some other dumb idea. It was just like the most

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:40.259
generic. It was like Harry Potter and the magic

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:43.720
school or something like that was what they're

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.039
going to try to sell it as. And then J .K. Rowling

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.539
came back and said, what if we changed philosopher

00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:52.340
to sorcerer? And I don't know if that had anything

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:55.240
to do with Sorcerer Mickey, because as far as

00:14:55.240 --> 00:15:00.120
American. Pop culture goes, that's the only thing

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.580
I can see besides Harry Potter where the word

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:09.059
sorcerer comes into play. I don't know. But yeah,

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:13.159
scholastic things for a bunch of dum -dums. That

00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:17.840
is why they go on book tours with the least academic

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.480
sounding books of all time every year. The Guinness

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.539
Book of World Records, the only books I remember

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.509
ever buying from. the Scholastic Book Fair were

00:15:26.509 --> 00:15:31.830
the Simpsons comics. Yes. Yeah. The like compendiums

00:15:31.830 --> 00:15:34.629
of like Treehouse of Horror and things. So I

00:15:34.629 --> 00:15:42.090
wasn't exactly proving them wrong. But it's not

00:15:42.090 --> 00:15:44.970
like I was. Yeah, no. I think the most common

00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:46.889
thing that was bought at the Scholastic Book

00:15:46.889 --> 00:15:50.029
Fair was the posters of Ferraris and the little

00:15:50.029 --> 00:15:53.350
hand pointer things. And Emmett Smith. Yeah,

00:15:53.429 --> 00:15:55.210
I remember coming home with an Emmett Smith poster.

00:15:56.629 --> 00:16:01.110
It was a simpler time. It was, man. Do your kids

00:16:01.110 --> 00:16:03.070
still get Scholastic Book Fairs? Are those still

00:16:03.070 --> 00:16:06.690
a thing? They are still a thing, yep. Okay. Yeah.

00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:10.269
Is it just like Minecraft books? Because I remember

00:16:10.269 --> 00:16:13.610
there being a lot of like video game games. Yes.

00:16:14.009 --> 00:16:21.559
Yeah. Minecraft. Yeah. Now it's... They give

00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.539
you a link, you type in a code for your kid's

00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:27.240
school, and you put money on a digital wallet

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.139
for them. I felt like a king. The king of the

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:35.299
castle. When I came in with my $20 for the Scholastic

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:39.860
Book Fair. We don't get arcades with the little

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:43.519
coins anymore. Even Chuck E. Cheese has the cards.

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.259
What have we done? We've failed these children.

00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:49.379
We've ruined it, yeah. We need tactile things.

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.399
We do. We do. Walking around the arcade with

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.240
a little jangle in your pocket and then you have

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.840
tickets sticking out of every pocket you have.

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:01.559
Or you win a jackpot and you get to have that

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.299
necklace that tells everyone at the arcade that

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:06.799
you're better than them. Yeah. Best feeling in

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.119
the world. Yep. All gone. All gone. Did you know

00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.119
that Chuck E. Cheese has adult arcades now? There's

00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:19.220
one near you. Yeah, I have heard. And don't they

00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:20.960
have like some of the original animatronics?

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:25.440
I don't think so, but maybe. I thought I saw

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.660
something about that. What's it called? I am

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:31.200
looking it up as we speak. I do not remember.

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:35.960
Chuck's Arcade. Oh, I guess there's not. I thought

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.640
there was one in DFW. The arcades do include.

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.680
Which one? The brand's iconic, but now inactive.

00:17:45.389 --> 00:17:49.130
animatronic characters like Chucky Cheese and

00:17:49.130 --> 00:17:52.650
Munch's Make Believe Band. So the animatronics

00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:56.809
are there, they just don't work. That is a bummer.

00:17:56.890 --> 00:17:59.789
And also, there's one in Oklahoma City. I thought

00:17:59.789 --> 00:18:03.990
there was one near you. I guess not. What a weird

00:18:03.990 --> 00:18:09.670
place to put in a place like that. I would be

00:18:09.670 --> 00:18:13.710
really interested to see what's at Chuck's Arcade.

00:18:14.089 --> 00:18:16.769
I think it would be cool to go to one just for

00:18:16.769 --> 00:18:20.190
the fun of it. Well, let's take a road trip.

00:18:20.230 --> 00:18:22.170
Let's take the show on the road. To Oklahoma

00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:25.369
City? To Oklahoma City. Or to Tulsa. We can go

00:18:25.369 --> 00:18:27.630
there and to Toby Keats' I Love This Bar and

00:18:27.630 --> 00:18:31.829
Grill. Pass. Okay. Well, then we can go to the

00:18:31.829 --> 00:18:34.970
Oklahoma City Bombing Museum. Yeah. What's more

00:18:34.970 --> 00:18:37.029
enjoyable, Toby Keats' I Love This Bar and Grill

00:18:37.029 --> 00:18:39.589
or the Oklahoma City Bombing Museum? I don't

00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:47.920
feel like I should answer that. No, so the last

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.160
time that I went to Toby Keith's Bar and Grill,

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:53.980
it was the one in Windstar, which was my first

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:58.000
mistake. I am fully aware of that. It made me

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.680
so sick. Oh, yeah? So I will not be returning

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.700
to a Toby Keith's Bar and Grill. Was that post

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:11.500
-Toby death or pre -Toby death? Pre, because

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:17.220
I haven't been to a Windstar in years. Oh, Windstar.

00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:20.259
There's only the one. There's only the one. And

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:23.319
now all their marketing is World of Windstar.

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:30.220
And so everywhere it just says, wow. I mean,

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:32.880
that would be appropriate marketing. He is in

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.339
the Metroplex. And then in May, I think they

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:39.859
should flip all their advertisements upside down.

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:43.480
So they say, wow. Take your mom to Winds. Yeah.

00:19:49.970 --> 00:19:55.230
What's your favorite Guinness world record? I

00:19:55.230 --> 00:20:02.549
have, in the course of my research for this episode,

00:20:02.630 --> 00:20:06.750
have come across a good deal of odd ones. And

00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:11.990
honestly, the ones that stick with me, the ones

00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:13.809
that have stuck with me through all of my experience

00:20:13.809 --> 00:20:17.109
with the Guinness books, are the biggest, like,

00:20:17.150 --> 00:20:19.309
biggest ball of twine in Minnesota kind of things.

00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:24.470
Minnesota! I just like one large collection of

00:20:24.470 --> 00:20:30.390
nonsense accumulated into a specific, like, I

00:20:30.390 --> 00:20:32.269
think the rubber band ball is cool. The paint

00:20:32.269 --> 00:20:35.670
ball is cool. Like, the roadside attraction kind

00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.930
of things are always my favorites. Or the biggest,

00:20:38.970 --> 00:20:42.569
like, foodstuffs. Biggest pizza, biggest cookie.

00:20:43.540 --> 00:20:45.380
Shout out to Bruce Almighty, because I think

00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:48.099
that was running through my head the entire time

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:51.160
I was researching this episode. That's the way

00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:58.480
the cookie crumbles. That's the way it was. Yeah,

00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.039
I... Okay, so I do have a bone to pick with the

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.140
Guinness World Record people, and we can go ahead

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:07.059
and get this out of the way now, so it's not

00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:11.740
hanging over our heads. I think that they should

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:16.900
be a little more particular about what they send

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:24.960
people out to do and dictate what is worthy of

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.740
a world record for the books. I both wholeheartedly

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:33.940
agree. And also, I mean, they got to how do you

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:37.099
know what's going to be relevant in a decade?

00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.359
That's true. That's true. I mean, we are. We

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.339
are hurtling towards idiocracy. So the dumber

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:49.759
the record, I guess, the more cherished it'll

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.680
be in the future based on our current trajectory.

00:21:52.819 --> 00:21:57.859
But yeah, I mean, it's just when when you say

00:21:57.859 --> 00:22:05.140
I'm going to, I don't know, the farthest someone

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:10.359
has traveled by doing the worm. Which, for all

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.720
I know, that was off the top of my head, but

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.039
could be a Guinness World Record. And I would

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:20.599
not be surprised if it was. But maybe, maybe

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:26.599
we just move along. Or maybe put them in a subsection

00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:31.220
of like, hey, these are the ones I don't know.

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.259
Just like in the back. Kind of like a dishonorable

00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:38.940
mentions. Rapid fire. Yeah. Yeah, like the Ig

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:43.960
Nobel Prize. Like the opposite of a Nobel Prize.

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:47.259
The opposite of a Guinness World Record. You

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:49.200
don't get a picture or a paragraph. You just

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.619
get a little blurb at the end. Yeah, a little

00:22:53.619 --> 00:23:00.559
one sentence. Just 7 .6 miles. The worm. Idiot.

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.740
Boom. Done. You want to give Razzies... To the

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:09.019
Guinness record holders? Yeah, why not? I mean,

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:12.980
how long can you do the worm? I mean, okay. I'm

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:16.279
not saying that it can't be an amazing feat,

00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:21.000
but I'm saying maybe that this person that wants

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:24.019
to dedicate all this time, all this training,

00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:28.440
all this energy towards how long they can do

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.500
the worm, maybe. Not to let a person have a hobby.

00:23:35.070 --> 00:23:38.529
Maybe. Maybe I'm way off here. Maybe. Maybe that

00:23:38.529 --> 00:23:42.210
was just a bad example. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

00:23:42.349 --> 00:23:48.670
Maybe there's something else that takes no effort

00:23:48.670 --> 00:23:55.230
whatsoever. One I know that is in the record

00:23:55.230 --> 00:23:58.950
books. As long as fingernails. That takes no

00:23:58.950 --> 00:24:03.230
effort. That takes active in -effort. That is

00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:06.950
absolutely incorrect. What effort does it take?

00:24:07.970 --> 00:24:10.710
To maintain your fingernails once they get past

00:24:10.710 --> 00:24:13.150
a certain length? I'm going to go ahead and assume,

00:24:13.329 --> 00:24:16.210
correct me if I'm wrong, that you haven't had

00:24:16.210 --> 00:24:20.730
long nails, right? No. At any point in your time?

00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:24.930
No. Once your nails get, like my nails are very

00:24:24.930 --> 00:24:27.269
short, largely because I work in food service

00:24:27.269 --> 00:24:32.170
and gross. But after they get about like half,

00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:37.230
inch maybe uh they can start breaking if you

00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:39.809
think about how like delicate your fingernails

00:24:39.809 --> 00:24:42.190
are the longer that they get and you have to

00:24:42.190 --> 00:24:45.990
protect them constantly it is it is you having

00:24:45.990 --> 00:24:49.650
to like be a incredibly careful with your hands

00:24:49.650 --> 00:24:54.609
and like the amount of cleaning like it's the

00:24:54.609 --> 00:24:58.230
amount of like diet precautions you have to take

00:24:58.230 --> 00:25:00.029
so that your skin and nails are healthy. There's

00:25:00.029 --> 00:25:01.930
a lot of things that go into it. Also, it's like

00:25:01.930 --> 00:25:05.390
40 years of dedication. They're nasty. Don't

00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:07.650
recommend trying for the record, but it's a lot

00:25:07.650 --> 00:25:14.589
of work. But it is also actively avoiding things

00:25:14.589 --> 00:25:17.529
that, because there's no way you can properly

00:25:17.529 --> 00:25:25.000
clean yourself, wipe yourself. Okay, but you're

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.539
in a public bathroom. What are you doing then?

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:35.460
Just letting it air out? I can't poop in strange

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:39.180
places thing from Family Guy. Even these people

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:44.200
with like five inch fingernails like and they're

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.759
fake. The ones that are straight out. There's

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:49.160
no way if your fingernails are five inches long.

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:51.740
Naturally, they're going to stand straight out.

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:53.799
They're going to start curling on themselves.

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:59.599
So you go out, you go get your crystal nail and

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:05.980
you ask for the five inchers. And you actively

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:12.380
chose that. And now you do all the clicky clack,

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:15.759
clicky clack whenever you're texting or. Typing

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.200
or anything like that. And then you act completely

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:24.619
put out when someone doesn't want to do any shake

00:26:24.619 --> 00:26:29.099
your hand or or hand you something because you

00:26:29.099 --> 00:26:32.680
got these five daggers on the ends of your fingers.

00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:39.160
And I just I don't know, man. Not for me. Not

00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:40.680
for me. I'll leave it at that. Just not for me

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.200
or anyone I associate with. That one takes a

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.660
lot of work. I really like acrylics. I like fake

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:51.759
nails. I don't wear them for sanitary reasons,

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.880
like I said. Food service is not a... Not fans

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.279
of that. And also, I play guitar, and so I can't

00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:00.240
really... You can't really do that with acrylics

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.759
unless you're Dolly Parton, which couldn't be

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.339
me, but... Do you have the Coke nail for the

00:27:06.339 --> 00:27:09.799
picking? You're picking up Spanish guitar? I...

00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:16.910
Spanish guitar. That's what the style's called.

00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:22.450
I do sort of have a Coke nail. My pinky nail

00:27:22.450 --> 00:27:25.130
on one hand is longer than the rest of them because

00:27:25.130 --> 00:27:31.730
I can't cut it too short because my finger got

00:27:31.730 --> 00:27:35.890
broken when I was younger. Here we go. I wasn't

00:27:35.890 --> 00:27:36.589
going to throw you under the bus. When was this

00:27:36.589 --> 00:27:41.769
going to come out? Go ahead. All I was going

00:27:41.769 --> 00:27:44.980
to say is that My pinky was broken when I was

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:47.839
younger, and now the nail doesn't grow right,

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:50.019
and so I can't cut it really short or else it'll

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:54.319
start hurting because the nail bed is the wrong

00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:57.140
shape. And so it's longer than the rest of my

00:27:57.140 --> 00:28:02.279
nails. Was not laying blame. If you want to choose

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.619
to take it, that's on you. I'm pleading the fifth.

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:11.410
Uh -huh. Pleading the fifth. Who knew? Nail talk

00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:13.529
would be such a point of contention between us.

00:28:14.289 --> 00:28:20.809
Uh -huh. Who knew? Softening the subject. Do

00:28:20.809 --> 00:28:27.190
you know the origin of the Guinness Book of World

00:28:27.190 --> 00:28:32.730
Records? Hit me. So it was inspired by a pub

00:28:32.730 --> 00:28:37.769
argument in London in 1955. The inventor, Sir

00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:41.539
Hugh Beaver. Awesome name. That is pretty sweet.

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:44.940
Was debating with a friend about the fastest

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:50.160
game bird in Europe. Huh. When he realized that

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:54.920
he did not have a way to confirm what the fastest

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:59.319
game bird in Europe was, he decided, hey, I bet

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:01.900
a lot of people have arguments like this in pubs.

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.980
I bet we can make a book that would solve this.

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:14.240
And so he. used his position as the director

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.599
of... He was the managing director at Guinness.

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:25.160
Reached out to Norris and Ross McWhirther, twins

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.259
who owned a fact -finding agency, my dream job.

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:37.359
And they compiled the first book. What, per se,

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:46.039
does a... fact -finding business do? In 1955?

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:52.619
No idea. Huh. I have no idea. Squeezed out by

00:29:52.619 --> 00:30:00.000
Google? You know what? Maybe a little separate

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.519
pod will be on the Werther twins. Maybe Encyclopedia

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:10.720
Britannica took them down. Encyclopedia, excuse

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:20.259
you. Sorry. Sorry. My bad. My bad. Yeah. So that's

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:22.900
how we got the Guinness Book of World Records.

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:27.619
And also, he was not knighted because of his

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:30.119
work with Guinness and the World Record book,

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:35.079
unfortunately. He was knighted for being the...

00:30:36.809 --> 00:30:38.910
It was a very long title. He was knighted in

00:30:38.910 --> 00:30:44.069
1943 for wartime service. He's had a very interesting

00:30:44.069 --> 00:30:47.869
life. Hugh Beaver, man. Whenever you're knighted,

00:30:47.869 --> 00:30:52.750
do you have to put on your application what you're

00:30:52.750 --> 00:30:57.430
hoping to be knighted for? Yes. Can it be a list

00:30:57.430 --> 00:31:00.849
of accomplishments? Can it be like, oh, you single

00:31:00.849 --> 00:31:04.009
-handedly help us win World War II, but also,

00:31:04.210 --> 00:31:07.089
also... You gave us the Guinness Book of World

00:31:07.089 --> 00:31:09.990
Records. Do you think he got his position at

00:31:09.990 --> 00:31:13.910
Guinness because he was a knight? Is that the

00:31:13.910 --> 00:31:15.910
key to the city? You get to do anything you want

00:31:15.910 --> 00:31:21.170
for the rest of time? Maybe. Tell me one thing

00:31:21.170 --> 00:31:23.990
that Sir Ian McKellen or Sir Patrick Stewart,

00:31:24.210 --> 00:31:27.670
Sir Elton John couldn't do. Sir Paul McCartney.

00:31:28.670 --> 00:31:33.529
Was Lennon ever knighted? Probably not. I don't

00:31:33.529 --> 00:31:36.839
think so. He was too anti -establishment in his

00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.119
penthouse. Yeah. Huh. Yeah, I don't know. I don't

00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.259
know. I don't I don't know any British people

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:47.140
I can ask about knighthood. I would be curious

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:50.740
to learn more about it. Well, it could be. I

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:53.859
bet it's a short stuff if we're being for real.

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:57.759
Probably is. Yeah. But if you know anything about

00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.740
knighthood, we'd love to hear from you. Hit us

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:05.559
up on TikTok, Twitter. Not Twitter. X. Instagram.

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:09.779
YouTube. Shoot us an email at cashexchangepod

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:13.700
at gmail .com. I was having this discussion earlier,

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:19.779
and I don't know what the answer is. I couldn't

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:24.819
find anything online. But what do you call the

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:29.819
action of posting something on X? When you were

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:34.200
on Twitter, you would post a tweet. When you're

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:42.380
on X, you post a... Bullshit. A what? What? A

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:45.960
what? Couldn't tell you. You said bullshit? I

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.299
did. You post bullshit on X? Not just X. You

00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:52.500
post bullshit on most social medias. That's kind

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:55.680
of the point. I only post gold, man. Not if you're

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.019
a business. Not if you're a business. But for

00:32:59.019 --> 00:33:01.759
personal use, generally speaking, it's just nonsense.

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.980
This is a segue that, like, we don't really need

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:09.019
to get too deep into, but did you hear that Sam

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:11.319
Bankman Freed said that he believes that we're

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.500
in the dead internet now? Or that we're, like,

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:18.759
heading there fast, basically? That's Chet, GBT

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:24.559
guy? Yes. The OpenAI dude. I have believed in

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:28.680
that for quite some time, but it's... A little

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.019
jarring to hear one of the biggest players in

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:35.660
the tech space right now say that he also believes

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:40.420
that nothing online is real anymore. We are,

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:45.240
for the record. As far as we know. Probably.

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:51.680
Or just deep, deep simulation. But isn't that

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:56.440
just like the kitschy thing to do now for these

00:33:56.440 --> 00:34:02.769
tech? Giants, Elon, Zuckerberg, just to make

00:34:02.769 --> 00:34:07.029
all these grand sweeping claims and that, like,

00:34:07.029 --> 00:34:14.269
Musk is, be very, very careful with AI. But hey,

00:34:14.429 --> 00:34:17.849
here's literally AI in every single thing I do.

00:34:18.690 --> 00:34:23.949
Here's Bankman Freed. Hey, hey, we have to be

00:34:23.949 --> 00:34:29.809
very, very cautious. with AI. Anyways, here's

00:34:29.809 --> 00:34:35.429
chat GPT -19. Sam Altman. My bad. Not Bankman

00:34:35.429 --> 00:34:38.929
Freed. Yeah, isn't Bankman Freed like in prison?

00:34:39.150 --> 00:34:41.809
I believe so, yeah. Or something with his homely

00:34:41.809 --> 00:34:47.449
girlfriend? What? Very ugly woman was his accomplice

00:34:47.449 --> 00:34:52.449
in whatever he got wrapped up in. I don't...

00:34:52.449 --> 00:34:58.400
I have a decent knack for once a story has has

00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.460
reached its conclusion just forgetting about

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:04.820
it yeah because there's there's just so much

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:07.280
that happens every single day that i just i don't

00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.639
have the capacity to keep it all locked up in

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:16.719
here yeah yeah i don't blame you man i i get

00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:20.159
snippets of things and that's uh usually where

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.619
it ends because i don't pursue the story further

00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:26.590
because i would spend all my time Just wrapped

00:35:26.590 --> 00:35:29.110
up in a bunch of nonsense that at the end of

00:35:29.110 --> 00:35:34.090
the day has little to no effect on my life. Anyway,

00:35:35.510 --> 00:35:39.650
that was the end of my little segue. We brought

00:35:39.650 --> 00:35:41.650
it up a good amount in the conspiracy theory

00:35:41.650 --> 00:35:43.369
episode, so I just wanted to circle back for

00:35:43.369 --> 00:35:49.409
a moment. Do you know what qualifies to be a

00:35:49.409 --> 00:35:54.369
Guinness record? I know that you have to pay.

00:35:55.079 --> 00:36:00.039
To have someone come out to observe it. I know

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:06.960
that you. I guess that's all I know about it.

00:36:08.260 --> 00:36:14.599
So the application. Application fee is I want

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:20.480
to say five hundred dollars. Oh, wait, no. The

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.659
expedited it's between eight hundred and a thousand.

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:29.679
Oh, no way. The timeline for application to review

00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:35.460
is at the moment 12 weeks, which is actually

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:37.219
not nearly as long as I thought it would be.

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:39.400
I don't know how long I thought it would be,

00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.880
but I thought... Or standard. No, that is, I

00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.519
think, standard because I looked it up on the

00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.780
actual Guinness website and they said it was

00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:50.840
12 weeks. So I would imagine that's their general

00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:54.619
turnaround. But I was expecting at least like...

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.199
Six months. Yeah. Double that. Yeah. Twelve weeks

00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:04.820
seems. I mean, how many. How many satellite offices

00:37:04.820 --> 00:37:07.940
they're working out of. I remember. So I've applied

00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:11.800
to a billion jobs in the past four years or so.

00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.920
Is this one of them? I have applied for Guinness.

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:18.000
For one of their offices. So there has to be

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:23.199
something like either remote or near DFW. Because

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.199
it would have been a couple years ago, probably.

00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:31.659
But I definitely applied to be a member of the

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:37.880
Guinness team. So the records have to be measurable,

00:37:38.179 --> 00:37:44.519
breakable, standardizable, and verifiable. Alongside

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:48.139
that, they have to have video proof or a Guinness

00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:51.139
rep present for the record breaking. You can

00:37:51.139 --> 00:37:55.030
do it with video? You can send in a video, huh?

00:37:55.570 --> 00:37:59.510
Yeah. Okay. I think it would depend on the specific

00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:01.309
thing that you're breaking, whether or not they

00:38:01.309 --> 00:38:03.809
would need a person there or they could just

00:38:03.809 --> 00:38:06.269
watch you do it. And that's probably going to

00:38:06.269 --> 00:38:10.130
change with AI and all that jazz. Is that the

00:38:10.130 --> 00:38:16.349
same cost for if you submit a video versus if

00:38:16.349 --> 00:38:19.530
someone has to come out to do it? That is a good

00:38:19.530 --> 00:38:25.400
question. So, there is not a standardized price

00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.920
for the adjudicators? That doesn't sound right.

00:38:32.219 --> 00:38:34.880
No, that's right. They all just get to throw

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.079
their own quote out? I would imagine it depends

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.280
on how far you would have to have the person

00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:42.139
travel, and so they can't give you a standard

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:43.860
thing, because if you're in the middle of Iowa

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.320
and the closest person's in Texas, then that's

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:53.339
going to be pretty decent travel cost. Yep. The

00:38:53.339 --> 00:38:57.539
general timeline from application to response

00:38:57.539 --> 00:39:02.179
is 12 weeks. If you wanted to pay the $800 to

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:05.719
$1 ,000 to expedite the process, it will shorten

00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:12.760
it to five days. Huh. Which is insane. So, what...

00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:18.320
What... possible reason is it like hey we're

00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.179
doing this thing hey do you think this could

00:39:20.179 --> 00:39:25.019
be a world record but like you you need to it's

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:29.340
like six days out and so you're like oh we can

00:39:29.340 --> 00:39:32.099
expedite this like what would be the reason why

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:36.719
someone would pay a premium on getting it expedited

00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:43.110
uh i think it would be helpful if one of your

00:39:43.110 --> 00:39:46.210
like if your record specifically is one of those

00:39:46.210 --> 00:39:48.349
things that requires a lot of people because

00:39:48.349 --> 00:39:50.489
it's not like you're gonna have a five day review

00:39:50.489 --> 00:39:53.570
period and then you just get the person out there

00:39:53.570 --> 00:39:58.809
and so if you have like the most people named

00:39:58.809 --> 00:40:01.750
Kyle gathered in one specific place which was

00:40:01.750 --> 00:40:06.369
in Kyle Texas Kyle or yeah I think it was in

00:40:06.369 --> 00:40:10.659
yeah So if you're like gathering all of the Kyles,

00:40:10.659 --> 00:40:12.599
then you can't narrow it down to like, I need

00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:18.119
everyone to be here on September 12th. You can't

00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:19.519
like have it locked down if you don't know that

00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:21.199
there's actually going to be a record that you're

00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:27.440
technically able to break. Yeah. But yeah, no,

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:32.280
you can expedite it to five days if you're on

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:40.480
a tight turnaround for some reason. And so maybe

00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:42.639
we should have discussed this at the beginning,

00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.800
but what are the benefits to being in the Guinness

00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.159
Book of World Records? Just bragging rights.

00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:56.760
Yeah, that's it. They don't have like a, like

00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:01.039
for the Masters, every year around the time of

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.800
the Masters, all the winners gather for a meal.

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:08.239
There's none of that. feels very dinner for schmucks

00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.400
and i don't i don't mean that to say anything

00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.739
negative about people who have actually claimed

00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:17.920
guinness world records i'm saying that in a sense

00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.179
that that is just a large collection of people

00:41:20.179 --> 00:41:22.780
with very very niche interests like doing the

00:41:22.780 --> 00:41:27.940
worm for 30 feet i i don't know what a long amount

00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:33.880
of work of worming is i don't know what the The

00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:36.280
average travel. You would have to be in multiple

00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.380
miles. Should we do a live lookup to see what

00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:46.559
the world's longest worm is? So it is a Guinness

00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:54.579
record. Oh, man. Dang. It was achieved in July

00:41:54.579 --> 00:42:02.409
of 2013. Do you want to guess how long? I'm looking

00:42:02.409 --> 00:42:09.710
at it right now. From San Jose, California. It's

00:42:09.710 --> 00:42:11.789
funny that you started that with from San Jose,

00:42:11.809 --> 00:42:14.630
California, like he wormed into a different city.

00:42:17.070 --> 00:42:21.110
He wormed from San Jose to San Francisco. Yeah.

00:42:22.210 --> 00:42:26.449
Can you imagine going through Oakland, doing

00:42:26.449 --> 00:42:32.710
the worm on your way to San Francisco? You'd

00:42:32.710 --> 00:42:36.469
definitely be shot. He wormed for a total of

00:42:36.469 --> 00:42:40.949
one minute and 28 .16 seconds. That seems like...

00:42:40.949 --> 00:42:42.710
Which is not nearly as long as I thought it would

00:42:42.710 --> 00:42:47.170
be. I'm not saying that I have any interest in

00:42:47.170 --> 00:42:51.730
beating this record, but I am saying that I definitely

00:42:51.730 --> 00:42:54.889
could. I think most people could. You think you

00:42:54.889 --> 00:43:00.090
could beat 150 or 195 feet traveled by worm?

00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:05.260
Yeah. When was the last time you personally did

00:43:05.260 --> 00:43:08.039
the worm? I just got to tone up my abs. Get them

00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:11.340
rock hard. I don't think I've done the worm in

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:13.780
my life. I don't know what muscle groups it requires.

00:43:15.980 --> 00:43:20.440
Yeah, I mean, are you allowed to wear any padding?

00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.239
You have to. What are the stipulations to this?

00:43:24.460 --> 00:43:26.539
You would bruise the hell out of fruit. Well,

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:30.880
that's part of the record. I guess. I don't know.

00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.440
I don't know. All of these are so specific. There

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:42.980
is a rule against hyper -specificity, and I don't

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:46.559
know what that means. I was trying to find guidelines

00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:53.920
on who is to say what is too specific. Just gut

00:43:53.920 --> 00:44:00.440
instinct. I mean, like, is it longest? traveled

00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.659
by doing the worm at two o 'clock on a Wednesday.

00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:10.159
That's okay. Yeah. I can understand it where

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:12.579
the line is probably drawn, but I still feel

00:44:12.579 --> 00:44:16.219
like you having a line against hyper specificity

00:44:16.219 --> 00:44:23.300
is too broad a net. Yeah. Yeah. And I do want

00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:29.099
to remind everyone that I had no idea. distance

00:44:29.099 --> 00:44:32.679
traveled by doing the worm was a record in the

00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:36.239
guinness world record i was just trying to think

00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:38.679
of the most ridiculous thing that i could think

00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:44.280
of as something that would be in the guinness

00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.159
book world records and i guess i i was right

00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:50.619
so i was looking up like the the fun recent things

00:44:50.619 --> 00:44:53.800
that have won guinness records and one of the

00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.739
ones that i found was a the largest The world's

00:44:57.739 --> 00:45:00.420
largest gathering of people in dinosaur costumes

00:45:00.420 --> 00:45:05.500
in L .A. In L .A.? In L .A. That was part of

00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:07.380
it? Well, no, it was like it. Oh, it just happened

00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:11.539
to be in L .A. Gotcha. But it was the world's

00:45:11.539 --> 00:45:13.219
largest gathering of people in dinosaur costumes.

00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:17.599
And that feels very specific because you could

00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:21.320
do that with, it's the largest gathering of people

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:24.219
in, I don't know why I couldn't think of a single

00:45:24.219 --> 00:45:28.909
other, like Freddy Krueger mask. I couldn't think

00:45:28.909 --> 00:45:32.690
of a single other outfit. Yeah, so that seems

00:45:32.690 --> 00:45:36.030
like it breaks the hyper -specificity. Because

00:45:36.030 --> 00:45:39.110
then it's just the people, it's just the largest

00:45:39.110 --> 00:45:43.769
group of people gathered in costumes. Yeah, every

00:45:43.769 --> 00:45:49.829
convention. So, again, who decides the line for

00:45:49.829 --> 00:45:55.010
hyper -specificity? I couldn't find a good bar.

00:45:55.659 --> 00:45:58.679
They don't have any general guidelines for what

00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.500
would probably not pass because it's too specific.

00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:07.739
Do they have a helpline that you can call? I

00:46:07.739 --> 00:46:11.719
don't think so. I think they have a help email,

00:46:11.940 --> 00:46:14.880
which would make a ton of sense because if you're

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:17.980
really raring to go on your record, it would

00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:19.639
make sense that you would just be spamming their

00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:24.119
phone. Hmm. Okay. I mean, I think we're a little

00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:29.340
late to the podcast party to insert ourselves

00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:35.139
into any of those record possibilities. But I

00:46:35.139 --> 00:46:38.880
bet we could find something. The most downloaded

00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.599
episode of a podcast was The Adam Carolla Show,

00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.679
somehow. Huh. Would never have guessed that one.

00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:47.360
I would have thought it would have been a Joe

00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:52.679
Rogan. A Rogan, yeah. Or the Kelsey one. Taylor

00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.219
Swift. Yeah. Yeah. Or Marin, Mark Marin got into

00:46:59.219 --> 00:47:03.039
the podcast game real, real early. So maybe one

00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.079
of his. I mean, I guess that would be more longest

00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:09.079
running than it would be most downloads of an

00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.940
episode. Does it? Oh, yeah. I mean, if it was

00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:16.280
one of the earliest podcasts. Oh, yeah. What

00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:19.980
is the. So are you looking at the most downloaded

00:47:19.980 --> 00:47:23.429
episode right now? Record. No. Oh. That's just

00:47:23.429 --> 00:47:26.190
a thing that I remembered from earlier. I'd be

00:47:26.190 --> 00:47:31.510
curious what the... Subject matter? Subject matter

00:47:31.510 --> 00:47:35.030
was, yeah. These days, he's going real hard into

00:47:35.030 --> 00:47:39.150
Gavin Newsom. Okay. He's got a lot of bones to

00:47:39.150 --> 00:47:42.389
pick with Newsom. It's funny that him and Kimmel

00:47:42.389 --> 00:47:47.829
have the same inception, but are completely polar

00:47:47.829 --> 00:47:52.030
opposites of each other. It has been dethroned.

00:47:52.110 --> 00:47:56.489
No. So it was not a specific episode. It was

00:47:56.489 --> 00:47:58.489
the Adam Carolla show, which had the Guinness

00:47:58.489 --> 00:48:00.409
World Record for the most downloaded podcast

00:48:00.409 --> 00:48:06.050
with 59 million unique downloads between March

00:48:06.050 --> 00:48:09.590
of 2009 and March of 2011. The show's official

00:48:09.590 --> 00:48:11.909
record -setting period is over and it continues

00:48:11.909 --> 00:48:14.440
to be popular. Though other shows like the Joe

00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.400
Rogan Experience and Stuff You Should Know have

00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:18.320
surpassed its download numbers in recent years.

00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:22.179
Hey, SYSK, good for them. Shout out to Josh and

00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:26.099
Chuck. My dream podcast guest. Yeah. Have you

00:48:26.099 --> 00:48:28.400
seen Chuck recently? I don't know that I've seen

00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.820
Chuck ever. Oh. Well, did you? I mean, they used

00:48:32.820 --> 00:48:36.000
to have like, they had a show for a short while.

00:48:36.500 --> 00:48:39.079
They talk about it on the podcast and how it

00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:46.530
was not well received. But, yeah, Chuck used

00:48:46.530 --> 00:48:48.789
to be a pretty rotund dude. Now he's just like

00:48:48.789 --> 00:48:52.829
a beanpole. Oh, okay. He's working that Ozempic

00:48:52.829 --> 00:48:55.929
face. Is he really? I don't know if it was Ozempic,

00:48:55.929 --> 00:48:59.190
but, yeah, pretty drastic weight loss. Good for

00:48:59.190 --> 00:49:02.869
him. Look that up once the episode's over. I

00:49:02.869 --> 00:49:08.989
don't know. Like I said, the whole, it just seems

00:49:08.989 --> 00:49:12.920
like a... Not really a PR stunt because I don't

00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:17.920
know many people that talk about Guinness World

00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:21.960
Records. I think it is like, I don't know. I

00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:26.760
mean, do you think that people younger than us

00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:32.179
have any clue what Guinness World Records are?

00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:34.920
How well do you think those books sell these

00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:38.920
days? They still sell pretty well. I was looking

00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:42.349
at metrics. on their fact sheet on the website.

00:49:42.909 --> 00:49:48.070
I think it said like 1 .7 million books were

00:49:48.070 --> 00:49:53.889
sold last year, if I remember correctly. I don't

00:49:53.889 --> 00:49:58.289
have the little infographic thing pulled up anymore.

00:50:00.210 --> 00:50:04.190
So according to Google AI, the perks of being

00:50:04.190 --> 00:50:07.550
a Guinness World Record holder includes global

00:50:07.550 --> 00:50:13.360
recognition. Which, I guess if you're just basing

00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.480
that off of being in a book that is available

00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:21.079
to the globe, then that one checks out. A powerful

00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.300
sense of personal accomplishment and increased

00:50:24.300 --> 00:50:27.639
opportunities for media attention, endorsements,

00:50:27.699 --> 00:50:35.159
book deals, and community involvement. This article

00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:38.800
on USA Today said 187 ,000 copies were sold last

00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:45.880
year. 187 ,000? Yeah. Didn't the one before that

00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.960
say like 1 point something million? That was

00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.539
data from the same infographic, but I don't know

00:50:52.539 --> 00:50:54.699
if it was linked to that. Like it was data for

00:50:54.699 --> 00:50:56.679
a lot of things. It included the amount of people

00:50:56.679 --> 00:51:01.789
who applied. In 2024, the amount of people who

00:51:01.789 --> 00:51:05.670
actually were accepted in 2024, it was a lot

00:51:05.670 --> 00:51:08.309
of numbers. I remember 1 .7 million, but I don't

00:51:08.309 --> 00:51:10.849
remember specifically what it was. I thought

00:51:10.849 --> 00:51:13.949
that was the amount of books, but quite possibly

00:51:13.949 --> 00:51:20.550
not. Hmm. The Guinness World Record for the richest

00:51:20.550 --> 00:51:23.590
record holder is not a single person, but depends

00:51:23.590 --> 00:51:25.650
on whether you mean historically or currently.

00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:29.940
With the record for the richest person ever held

00:51:29.940 --> 00:51:34.739
by John D. Rockefeller. And the record for the

00:51:34.739 --> 00:51:40.440
richest person male currently held by Elon Musk.

00:51:41.199 --> 00:51:52.019
Richest female is Oprah. Alice Walton. Of Walmart.

00:51:53.639 --> 00:52:02.199
Money. While we're on the topic of stats, in

00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:07.980
2024, would you like to guess how many records

00:52:07.980 --> 00:52:12.280
are currently held as of a year ago? Because

00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:14.739
I don't have the stats for 2025. Shoot me with

00:52:14.739 --> 00:52:19.739
the stats. So as of 2024, there were nearly 70

00:52:19.739 --> 00:52:24.039
,000 active records. So you guessing the worm

00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:27.039
or the longest distance traveled by worm was...

00:52:27.710 --> 00:52:29.510
The odds were in your favor on that one. There's

00:52:29.510 --> 00:52:33.230
a lot of records. On top of that, in the year

00:52:33.230 --> 00:52:37.309
2024, the Guinness company saw nearly 50 ,000

00:52:37.309 --> 00:52:40.230
new applications. And what's the average per

00:52:40.230 --> 00:52:43.989
year that they approve? They approved 3 ,300

00:52:43.989 --> 00:52:48.429
applications last year. Of 50 ,000? Of 50 ,000.

00:52:48.530 --> 00:52:52.730
3 ,300 people actually got records. So maybe

00:52:52.730 --> 00:52:56.719
they're not as... Maybe they're not as just willy

00:52:56.719 --> 00:52:59.260
nilly as flippant with it as I thought they were.

00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.760
Huh. That said, there's some weird stuff on that

00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:06.280
list. Yeah. But before I get into that, there

00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:08.519
were, I wanted to go back just a little bit.

00:53:08.579 --> 00:53:12.500
There were some disqualifiers. Ooh. Red flags

00:53:12.500 --> 00:53:15.480
to the Guinness people. Those qualifiers include,

00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:18.119
but are not limited to, anything that harms animals,

00:53:18.300 --> 00:53:20.820
damages the environment, or involves a person

00:53:20.820 --> 00:53:24.250
under the age of 16, which are all. very reasonable

00:53:24.250 --> 00:53:27.710
things. Huh, 16. Yeah, I was surprised by that.

00:53:27.809 --> 00:53:32.409
I thought it would be 18. Not 100 % sure why

00:53:32.409 --> 00:53:35.510
that number, but one of the reasons that the

00:53:35.510 --> 00:53:38.710
harming animals thing came to be was because

00:53:38.710 --> 00:53:41.869
there was a record -holding cat for the most

00:53:41.869 --> 00:53:46.710
obese animal. Oh, Garfield. Is this like a BMI

00:53:46.710 --> 00:53:49.570
thing? How could they narrow it down? 46 pounds.

00:53:50.139 --> 00:53:52.699
How could they narrow that down to the most obese

00:53:52.699 --> 00:53:55.280
animal? Wouldn't it be like the heaviest cat?

00:53:55.860 --> 00:53:59.400
Fattest cat? Did I not say cat? Well, no. You

00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:03.260
said it was a cat, but what's the actual title

00:54:03.260 --> 00:54:06.059
of the record? The heaviest cat. It was the Guinness

00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.559
World Records for the fattest cat. Oh, okay.

00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:12.000
They retired all of the similar records because

00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.800
people wanted their cats to be record holders.

00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:19.619
And so they were just feeding them and not. taking

00:54:19.619 --> 00:54:22.159
any kind of care for them like a pate situation

00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:26.019
correct huh okay well that one makes sense also

00:54:26.019 --> 00:54:29.699
so there's no kids that can hold guinness world

00:54:29.699 --> 00:54:34.239
records oh my lanta 46 pounds think of that in

00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:35.880
terms of your children i don't know what they

00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:38.139
weigh because i don't know how that's like concept

00:54:38.139 --> 00:54:41.599
but that's like the entirety of the youngest

00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:44.219
yeah that cat weighs the same as your youngest

00:54:44.219 --> 00:54:50.030
child oh my gosh uh One thing that I am very,

00:54:50.130 --> 00:54:53.610
very surprised is not allowed for the Guinness

00:54:53.610 --> 00:54:57.349
records is excessive eating. I would think that

00:54:57.349 --> 00:54:59.309
would be their, no pun intended, bread and butter.

00:55:00.010 --> 00:55:03.550
Huh. So, like, Joey Chestnut isn't in the Guinness

00:55:03.550 --> 00:55:06.630
World Record? Not from what I could see. They

00:55:06.630 --> 00:55:09.610
banned excessive eating. And, like, I understand

00:55:09.610 --> 00:55:13.579
it from a... dangerous and you're putting yourself

00:55:13.579 --> 00:55:16.760
at risk for health reasons and choking reasons

00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:21.400
but like of all of the things that there are

00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.659
records for i feel like there's such a massive

00:55:24.659 --> 00:55:30.739
like fan base around excessive eating so so they

00:55:30.739 --> 00:55:33.159
don't make a distinction between excessive eating

00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:40.539
and uh competitive eating Because like excessive

00:55:40.539 --> 00:55:44.679
eating could be like longest streamed mukbang.

00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:48.260
So if you were just eating nonstop on a stream

00:55:48.260 --> 00:55:51.280
for I don't even know how long those last. I

00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:55.380
assume they take a long time. 24 hours. That

00:55:55.380 --> 00:56:02.219
is different from from like Joey Chestnut on

00:56:02.219 --> 00:56:05.519
the 4th of July downing almost 100 hot dogs in

00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:09.250
five minutes or whatever it is. So I wonder if

00:56:09.250 --> 00:56:12.090
there's a distinction there. I feel like there

00:56:12.090 --> 00:56:14.329
has to be. I might have to look a little bit

00:56:14.329 --> 00:56:18.929
more into that. As far as the Nathan's Hot Dog

00:56:18.929 --> 00:56:25.369
competition, there is not a single more nauseating

00:56:25.369 --> 00:56:28.429
piece of television than the Nathan's Hot Dog

00:56:28.429 --> 00:56:33.789
eating contest. It's pretty gnarly. It's gross.

00:56:34.170 --> 00:56:37.989
There was a time when I worked in a... sports

00:56:37.989 --> 00:56:40.329
bar ish restaurant. So they just had like massive

00:56:40.329 --> 00:56:44.309
TVs everywhere. Mm hmm. One fourth of July I

00:56:44.309 --> 00:56:47.010
was working not knowing that that was the day

00:56:47.010 --> 00:56:49.550
of the hot dog eating contest. And so every one

00:56:49.550 --> 00:56:51.250
of our TVs was tuned for that. And I was like,

00:56:51.289 --> 00:56:53.389
I can't think of a single thing more appetizing.

00:56:53.449 --> 00:56:56.789
Like. Who wants to watch this while they're.

00:56:58.250 --> 00:57:01.690
While they're eating still not good food, but

00:57:01.690 --> 00:57:05.230
what you want to watch someone house a hundred

00:57:05.230 --> 00:57:10.679
hot dogs. There are a lot of record holders whose

00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:15.980
goal it is to be the person with the most world

00:57:15.980 --> 00:57:20.900
records. One of them, his name is Sonny Molina.

00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:25.880
He has a particular goal to collect the world's

00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:29.300
largest number of world records. I found some

00:57:29.300 --> 00:57:36.210
different numbers as to how many he owns. I saw

00:57:36.210 --> 00:57:39.210
17 somewhere and I saw 12 somewhere else, but

00:57:39.210 --> 00:57:41.250
I couldn't find like a specific list of everything

00:57:41.250 --> 00:57:43.889
that he has under his belt right now, possibly

00:57:43.889 --> 00:57:46.949
because they've been usurped at this point. If

00:57:46.949 --> 00:57:51.769
only there was some sort of collection of world

00:57:51.769 --> 00:57:55.409
records that people could hold in the form of

00:57:55.409 --> 00:57:57.329
maybe like a book or something. That's really

00:57:57.329 --> 00:58:00.869
helpful. We should invent that. Huh. I'll put

00:58:00.869 --> 00:58:03.679
that down on my brainstorming list. Yeah. Some

00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.719
of the records that he holds are the world's

00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:09.519
largest collection of Pringles, largest collection

00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:13.079
of Skull Drinkware. Wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold

00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:17.039
on. Back it up a little bit. Singular Pringles?

00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:21.780
Pringles cans? Cans. Pringles cans. Okay. Like

00:58:21.780 --> 00:58:24.760
full size? What about the mini ones? Like little

00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:27.219
lunch ones? Or what about the ones that are just

00:58:27.219 --> 00:58:29.880
like little plastic with foil on top? Nope. Full

00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:36.199
size Pringle cans. Uh, okay. That just, I mean,

00:58:36.219 --> 00:58:39.480
I feel like there are homeless people that could,

00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:43.039
they just don't have the means. And that's where

00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:46.920
we get to the financial inequality in this country,

00:58:47.059 --> 00:58:50.480
that these people could be record holders. They

00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:54.460
could be, but they can't because they are held

00:58:54.460 --> 00:58:59.320
down by a society that demands upwards of $500.

00:59:00.030 --> 00:59:02.309
just to certify, that could change their life.

00:59:02.590 --> 00:59:05.409
They don't demand $500 to certify. If you want

00:59:05.409 --> 00:59:08.750
to expedite the process, then you can pay for

00:59:08.750 --> 00:59:10.969
it, but you don't, I don't think, have to pay

00:59:10.969 --> 00:59:14.050
to apply. Oh, I thought you did. I thought no

00:59:14.050 --> 00:59:16.590
matter what, like the 12 -week or the expedited.

00:59:16.769 --> 00:59:19.230
Not from what I saw. Huh. I thought no matter

00:59:19.230 --> 00:59:21.469
what you had to pay. Imagine how much money they'd

00:59:21.469 --> 00:59:24.309
be raking in with 50 ,000 applications all paid.

00:59:24.590 --> 00:59:27.289
That would be... On top of book sales and...

00:59:27.289 --> 00:59:30.519
I mean, that would probably... That would probably

00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.820
give them less manure to have to sift through,

00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:39.880
even if it was $5, $5 application fee. If you

00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:43.179
want someone to look over what you got, then

00:59:43.179 --> 00:59:46.860
it'll cost you $5. There could very easily be

00:59:46.860 --> 00:59:50.760
people less fortunate of less means that could

00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:53.360
have these world records. But we live in a society

00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:56.880
that demeans them and doesn't afford them those

00:59:56.880 --> 01:00:00.000
opportunities to have. the world record for the

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.659
most Pringles cans. Yeah. And what were his other

01:00:03.659 --> 01:00:08.860
accomplishments? So the number of Pringles cans

01:00:08.860 --> 01:00:10.679
that he had was, I think, somewhere in the mid

01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:15.219
-600s. He didn't even break four digits? As far

01:00:15.219 --> 01:00:20.280
as the replicability, you could fairly easily

01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:24.099
get more than 600 cans of Pringles. I wouldn't

01:00:24.099 --> 01:00:27.739
recommend it. I think it is a... absolutely pointless

01:00:27.739 --> 01:00:30.719
thing to collect, especially because I would

01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:32.639
imagine those aren't empty cans of Pringles,

01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:35.880
so you're just buying them for the show? I would

01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:40.239
be willing to pursue breaking that record as

01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:44.320
a form of protest against the inequality towards

01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:47.820
homeless people in this country. Okay. One final

01:00:47.820 --> 01:00:51.920
say on the amount of money that it costs to be

01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:56.179
put into the running. Okay. It is. free for existing

01:00:56.179 --> 01:01:01.599
record titles. It is $5 for a new record proposition.

01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:04.239
And then if you want to get it expedited from

01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:06.900
there, it's $800 to $1000. So if you were trying

01:01:06.900 --> 01:01:11.619
to beat the dude with the longest worm move,

01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:14.099
then you could do it for free. If you were trying

01:01:14.099 --> 01:01:17.019
to make something new, I can't even think of

01:01:17.019 --> 01:01:18.619
a thing that's more ridiculous than any of the

01:01:18.619 --> 01:01:21.019
ones that I've looked up already. But if you

01:01:21.019 --> 01:01:22.579
were trying to find something new, then you would

01:01:22.579 --> 01:01:24.860
have to pay them an administration fee. Possibly

01:01:24.860 --> 01:01:31.539
on top of $800. So you'd pay $5 for them to add

01:01:31.539 --> 01:01:36.059
another line to their book. Yes. But you wouldn't

01:01:36.059 --> 01:01:39.719
have to pay anything to erase someone else's

01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:44.579
name and insert yours. Right. Okay. All right.

01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:47.500
Well, I guess that's a little better. Yeah. The

01:01:47.500 --> 01:01:52.699
other things that he owns the records for, some

01:01:52.699 --> 01:01:55.329
of them at least. He owns the largest collection

01:01:55.329 --> 01:01:58.289
of skull drinkware. The largest collection of

01:01:58.289 --> 01:02:01.250
many skateboards. Do they have to be tech decks?

01:02:01.670 --> 01:02:03.769
I don't believe so. Are they brand specific?

01:02:04.170 --> 01:02:05.510
I saw the collection and they didn't look like

01:02:05.510 --> 01:02:09.510
they were all tech decks. And leather postcards,

01:02:09.710 --> 01:02:11.710
which are a thing that I did not know existed

01:02:11.710 --> 01:02:14.289
before now. I don't know what that means. I don't

01:02:14.289 --> 01:02:16.329
know what a leather postcard is. I don't think

01:02:16.329 --> 01:02:18.630
I've ever seen one. A leather postcard? He also

01:02:18.630 --> 01:02:22.429
had salt and pepper packets from fast food restaurants.

01:02:23.780 --> 01:02:27.079
Okay, so that's just theft. Maybe he just eats

01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:29.079
at fast food places all the time and doesn't

01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:31.699
use the salt and pepper packets. It's not theft.

01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:36.739
Huh. Leather postcards are exactly what you would

01:02:36.739 --> 01:02:39.980
think they were. They are just rectangles of

01:02:39.980 --> 01:02:45.800
leather, usually with something embossed or written

01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:50.280
on them. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. He doesn't only

01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:53.170
have collections. As his world record, though,

01:02:53.289 --> 01:02:56.070
he also owns the world record for the longest

01:02:56.070 --> 01:03:00.329
barefoot Lego run. OK, see, that's that's actually

01:03:00.329 --> 01:03:02.909
something. Do they check his feet beforehand?

01:03:03.429 --> 01:03:06.550
For the spray on shoes from Claudia the Chance

01:03:06.550 --> 01:03:09.769
Meatballs? Yeah. Yeah. Any form of protective

01:03:09.769 --> 01:03:14.449
wear? No, he he had a world record for barefoot

01:03:14.449 --> 01:03:17.690
marathons. No, so this guy's got like a foot

01:03:17.690 --> 01:03:20.570
thing. Yeah. I can't imagine a stretch of 26

01:03:20.570 --> 01:03:22.929
miles that I would ever be willing to walk barefoot.

01:03:23.070 --> 01:03:27.230
I don't, like, I like being barefoot, but I just

01:03:27.230 --> 01:03:29.909
can't. Like, I feel like you would be guaranteed

01:03:29.909 --> 01:03:33.630
to catch something. I prefer my human feet, if

01:03:33.630 --> 01:03:39.090
I'm being honest, but I don't know. I mean, I

01:03:39.090 --> 01:03:44.250
think that probably pretty warm in the winter.

01:03:45.690 --> 01:03:50.300
You gotta trade it up. Yeah, well, I bet you

01:03:50.300 --> 01:03:52.679
get a lot more traction now with those claws.

01:03:53.099 --> 01:03:56.039
So, I mean, I'm sure it has its perks and its

01:03:56.039 --> 01:03:57.679
downfalls, you know, just like everything in

01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:01.760
life. Do you think there's a world record for

01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:04.219
the longest toenails like there is for fingernails?

01:04:05.820 --> 01:04:09.860
I can't see why not. I don't want to look it

01:04:09.860 --> 01:04:12.619
up. No, because then you run the risk of seeing

01:04:12.619 --> 01:04:16.260
pictures of it. I know, but I'm curious. Like,

01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:19.949
I mean. It's easier to operate with just obscenely

01:04:19.949 --> 01:04:22.510
long fingernails because you don't have to keep

01:04:22.510 --> 01:04:24.510
them covered, but you would never be able to

01:04:24.510 --> 01:04:28.489
wear shoes. Or would you only wear flip -flops?

01:04:28.929 --> 01:04:32.449
Would you go barefoot? Did those curl like your

01:04:32.449 --> 01:04:36.230
fingernails would? I would assume so. Would you

01:04:36.230 --> 01:04:38.949
have to wear platform flip -flops? That way there's

01:04:38.949 --> 01:04:43.190
some room for them to just hang out. Oh, God.

01:04:48.050 --> 01:04:50.250
Oh, longest toenails. No, I'm doing it. This

01:04:50.250 --> 01:04:52.769
has got to be so gross. Are you also looking

01:04:52.769 --> 01:05:00.090
it up? Uh -huh. Oh, she's rocking the whole set.

01:05:00.329 --> 01:05:04.710
She's got the acrylics. Let's go. She is in platform

01:05:04.710 --> 01:05:11.670
sandals. Fingers and toes. This is the worst.

01:05:15.150 --> 01:05:22.349
The combined length is 87 inches. That's lame.

01:05:23.210 --> 01:05:26.809
She began... Okay, I mean, this was nine years

01:05:26.809 --> 01:05:33.050
worth of dedication. Hey, from Compton. Cool.

01:05:33.969 --> 01:05:38.650
Wonder if she knew Eazy -E or Cube. I don't like

01:05:38.650 --> 01:05:40.710
that I looked that up. No, I could have done

01:05:40.710 --> 01:05:43.690
without seeing that. I want that Men in Black.

01:05:44.219 --> 01:05:49.980
Mind eraser thingy. Yeah, well, who knows? Maybe

01:05:49.980 --> 01:05:52.860
you have seen one. Maybe you have had one used

01:05:52.860 --> 01:05:55.699
on you and you just don't remember it. Can they

01:05:55.699 --> 01:05:58.420
come back? Can I summon them? Do I have to see

01:05:58.420 --> 01:06:00.780
an alien first? I think you have to see an alien

01:06:00.780 --> 01:06:03.559
before Tommy Lee Jones wastes his time. He's

01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:09.000
old. That's fair. I wouldn't want to waste his

01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:14.880
time and Will Smith is too busy. singing to to

01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:20.260
sold out ai crowds oh man his uh his downfall

01:06:20.260 --> 01:06:24.500
i mean it was it was it was well before the slap

01:06:24.500 --> 01:06:29.800
slap didn't help but no he's got uh he's got

01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:32.500
new music i mean obviously he's got new music

01:06:32.500 --> 01:06:37.139
but uh yeah the music video before the ai music

01:06:37.139 --> 01:06:43.170
video because it's it's funny Because not a single

01:06:43.170 --> 01:06:47.090
person came out and said, that wasn't AI. I was

01:06:47.090 --> 01:06:52.469
there. I was an extra. Not one singular person.

01:06:54.170 --> 01:06:58.929
Did those shows happen? Were the whole things

01:06:58.929 --> 01:07:04.889
done by AI? Yeah. I thought he still had shows.

01:07:06.010 --> 01:07:10.670
Have you seen ads for Will Smith's tour? I haven't.

01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:14.059
I just thought that I was on the right side of

01:07:14.059 --> 01:07:18.360
the internet. I'm a well -traveled person. Yeah.

01:07:18.500 --> 01:07:22.760
And I have never once in recent memory seen,

01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:27.820
hey, come check out Will Smith on tour. But no,

01:07:27.980 --> 01:07:30.619
you know how you beat those allegations of, hey,

01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:35.079
this is definitely just all AI, right? And not

01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:37.679
just like, hey, yeah, some of the people in the

01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:40.849
crowd may be AI to make it a little fuller. is

01:07:40.849 --> 01:07:44.809
by having someone that can confirm, yes, I was

01:07:44.809 --> 01:07:48.690
at this show. It definitely wasn't as full as

01:07:48.690 --> 01:07:50.849
it shows in the music video, but I was there.

01:07:51.809 --> 01:07:56.269
Not a single person came out and said anything

01:07:56.269 --> 01:08:01.210
like that. And then, if there's allegations of

01:08:01.210 --> 01:08:06.389
you faking your crowd size, you shoot some behind

01:08:06.389 --> 01:08:08.949
-the -scenes stuff. You say, hey, this is how

01:08:08.949 --> 01:08:11.789
we made this music video. Did you do that? No,

01:08:11.789 --> 01:08:15.230
you didn't, William. You did not do that because

01:08:15.230 --> 01:08:17.329
you can't do that because there's nothing there

01:08:17.329 --> 01:08:21.470
because you were maybe on a stage, probably on

01:08:21.470 --> 01:08:25.510
just a green screen. And you filmed a music video

01:08:25.510 --> 01:08:29.770
and you already you can't take risks like that

01:08:29.770 --> 01:08:33.609
when your career is already so deep in the shitter

01:08:33.609 --> 01:08:35.890
that there's almost nothing that could pull you

01:08:35.890 --> 01:08:39.729
out of it. You got cupped by your wife on her

01:08:39.729 --> 01:08:45.189
podcast. You lost your mind on Chris Rock. And

01:08:45.189 --> 01:08:52.029
then immediately got an award. And then you decide,

01:08:52.270 --> 01:08:55.369
well, hey, movies aren't working anymore. And

01:08:55.369 --> 01:09:00.590
I watched Bad Boys, the newest one. And the entire

01:09:00.590 --> 01:09:04.890
time, all I was thinking about was a slap. And

01:09:04.890 --> 01:09:08.189
what a chode this dude is. So you can't watch

01:09:08.189 --> 01:09:10.949
it. You can't watch him anymore. And so he was

01:09:10.949 --> 01:09:12.829
like, OK, well, I'm just going to go into music.

01:09:12.850 --> 01:09:14.369
I'm going to go back to my roots. I'm going to

01:09:14.369 --> 01:09:16.829
go to music. I'm not going to say any cuss words.

01:09:17.350 --> 01:09:21.670
I'm just going to be very weird around girls

01:09:21.670 --> 01:09:24.729
that are much too young to be interested in me.

01:09:25.970 --> 01:09:30.369
And the first music video, the first you should

01:09:30.369 --> 01:09:33.850
check out the first one. It's like he's teeny

01:09:33.850 --> 01:09:36.680
tiny. But he's surrounded by all these ladies.

01:09:37.779 --> 01:09:41.960
And it's just, it's like, it's, it's, it's dad

01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:48.960
rap. Okay. It's like, it's like if, if dad jokes

01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:53.420
were a person and then decided to rap is what

01:09:53.420 --> 01:09:56.899
that first video is. And then the next one comes

01:09:56.899 --> 01:10:03.380
out with, with the AI stuff. It's just, it's.

01:10:03.930 --> 01:10:09.010
It's cuckoo bananas. And whoever is telling him,

01:10:09.109 --> 01:10:11.729
hey, this is what you need to do next, probably

01:10:11.729 --> 01:10:14.770
needs to be fired. I feel like he's just gone

01:10:14.770 --> 01:10:24.869
rogue. Yeah, he's lost it. And hopefully he finds

01:10:24.869 --> 01:10:29.470
his way again. He finds his pursuit of happiness

01:10:29.470 --> 01:10:35.239
again. Yeah. Kind of feels like he's on the same

01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:39.279
playing field right now as Ryan Reynolds. Like,

01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:40.760
Ryan Reynolds still has a good -sized platform,

01:10:40.939 --> 01:10:44.840
but, like, as the days go on, I feel like more

01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:48.920
and more stuff is coming out about how just generally

01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:53.300
shitty he is because his wife tanked his career

01:10:53.300 --> 01:10:56.119
and now everyone's coming for his throat. Not

01:10:56.119 --> 01:11:00.720
that he's not probably a shitty person. Birds

01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:03.989
of a feather flock together. The large majority

01:11:03.989 --> 01:11:09.550
of people in Hollywood are. You know what is

01:11:09.550 --> 01:11:13.510
the funniest part of that whole fallout? Is the

01:11:13.510 --> 01:11:18.210
fact that you couldn't go, I don't know, like

01:11:18.210 --> 01:11:23.569
six scrolls on TikTok or wherever you get your

01:11:23.569 --> 01:11:29.189
short form videos, Instagram reels or YouTube

01:11:29.189 --> 01:11:33.090
shorts. Platforms that we're on. Yes, we are.

01:11:33.869 --> 01:11:37.670
Cash Exchange Pod. Or you can reach us by our

01:11:37.670 --> 01:11:41.970
email, cashexchangepod at gmail .com. But you

01:11:41.970 --> 01:11:45.510
would. Hey, hey, hey, Ryan Reynolds here from

01:11:45.510 --> 01:11:49.550
Mint Mobile. I do all the advertising so we don't

01:11:49.550 --> 01:11:51.949
have to get these slick whatever's in charge

01:11:51.949 --> 01:11:54.090
you an arm and a leg. Well, guess what they're

01:11:54.090 --> 01:11:57.710
doing now? Ryan Reynolds is no longer the face

01:11:57.710 --> 01:12:04.020
of Mint Mobile. He sold off men and aviation,

01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:07.939
didn't he? I don't know. I mean, as far as I

01:12:07.939 --> 01:12:12.539
know, he is still involved in it in some capacity,

01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:20.720
but that would be smart of him to maybe fade

01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:23.180
into the background a little bit, which I'm sure

01:12:23.180 --> 01:12:30.819
is killing his ego. I think his whole... schtick

01:12:30.819 --> 01:12:34.560
is just a little played out these days. Yeah.

01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:43.159
It worked really well in Waiting and Deadpool

01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:49.680
and 1 ,000 other movies. But at some point, what

01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:52.760
are we doing? Why are you still hiring him for

01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:54.979
things? I mean, that's why he was in our One

01:12:54.979 --> 01:13:00.899
Trick Pony episode. Yeah. Because he has one

01:13:00.899 --> 01:13:04.180
trick, and he did it well, and now people aren't

01:13:04.180 --> 01:13:07.680
as receptive to it anymore. I mean, I was a big

01:13:07.680 --> 01:13:12.619
fan. I liked him in Free Guy. Yeah. And that

01:13:12.619 --> 01:13:17.159
was... That was the semi -departure from... Yeah.

01:13:17.659 --> 01:13:20.439
I mean, there was still a whole lot of Ryan Reynolds

01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:23.779
-isms in there, but for the most part, it was

01:13:23.779 --> 01:13:30.579
different enough. But no, when all the when all

01:13:30.579 --> 01:13:35.859
the Baldoni lively stuff started ramping up.

01:13:37.319 --> 01:13:43.159
Yeah, just opinion shifted real quick. You think

01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:46.760
Deadpool has any kind of Guinness records? Most

01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:48.800
curse words in a comic book movie or is that

01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:55.399
too hyper whatever? Specific. I mean, I don't.

01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:58.460
I think that would be too hyper -specific, but

01:13:58.460 --> 01:14:01.619
I also think that there's superhero movies like

01:14:01.619 --> 01:14:07.460
Superhero Movie that probably breaks that. Records

01:14:07.460 --> 01:14:10.619
for the most viewed movie trailer for Deadpool

01:14:10.619 --> 01:14:15.359
and Wolverine in 24 hours. Makes sense. Longest

01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:17.800
career as a live -action Marvel character set

01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:21.640
by Wesley Snipes for his Blade cameo in the same

01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:27.600
film. Oh, yeah. Nice. Largest collection of Deadpool

01:14:27.600 --> 01:14:33.520
memorabilia held by Gareth Peter Fellini. I've

01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:39.539
never seen Fellini spelled with a P -A -H. That's

01:14:39.539 --> 01:14:47.500
weird. Fellini? So, P -A -H -L -I -N -E -Y. That

01:14:47.500 --> 01:14:53.000
is an interesting last name. L -I -N -E -Y. Yeah.

01:14:53.100 --> 01:14:55.939
So there we go. See, even when we go on tangents,

01:14:55.939 --> 01:15:01.979
it all comes back around. Circling back. Do you

01:15:01.979 --> 01:15:04.680
want to know some of the weirdest records that

01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:07.939
I could find? I do. Yes, please. This is not

01:15:07.939 --> 01:15:11.779
an exhaustive list because there are 70 ,000.

01:15:11.779 --> 01:15:15.460
I did not go. One by one. Anywhere. Anywhere

01:15:15.460 --> 01:15:18.800
too deep on that one. Fastest time to spell the

01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:24.489
alphabet with your nose. What? Yeah. Actual record.

01:15:25.270 --> 01:15:29.810
And like Morse code? Keyboard. They had like

01:15:29.810 --> 01:15:36.369
a desktop keyboard. Just not head banging against

01:15:36.369 --> 01:15:40.810
a desktop. Woody the Whip Packer. Seems like

01:15:40.810 --> 01:15:44.289
a great way to get whiplash. For the record,

01:15:44.350 --> 01:15:49.579
that one was 17 seconds. Mild concussion. Nose

01:15:49.579 --> 01:15:54.159
type things on the keyboard. But so it's got

01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:57.460
to be QWERTY specific, I'm assuming. On a standard

01:15:57.460 --> 01:16:01.460
QWERTY keyboard. All a stack of hats worn at

01:16:01.460 --> 01:16:04.960
once. Three feet and six inches. I feel like

01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:09.180
that one would be tough to beat. But I know what

01:16:09.180 --> 01:16:12.779
they meant. And it was just like a whole bunch

01:16:12.779 --> 01:16:15.359
of like regular sized hats. But in my head, I

01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:18.109
was picturing Doug Dimmadome. Owner of the Dimmsdale

01:16:18.109 --> 01:16:20.750
Dimmadome. I'm Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale

01:16:20.750 --> 01:16:23.390
Dimmadome. And the chicken dip in Dimmadome.

01:16:28.590 --> 01:16:36.670
Oh, good gravy. So are these like fedoras? They

01:16:36.670 --> 01:16:40.510
were, I think, cowboy hats. Or they might have,

01:16:40.550 --> 01:16:43.090
they were, they were like felted hats. So it

01:16:43.090 --> 01:16:46.180
was like. cowboy and like bowler. And I think

01:16:46.180 --> 01:16:51.659
just like that kind of like style. Huh? Okay.

01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:54.220
I mean, I think you could reach three plus feet

01:16:54.220 --> 01:16:57.399
pretty easily with cowboy hats. I mean, the true

01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:00.579
test should be you walk around with them. If

01:17:00.579 --> 01:17:04.060
you can, if you can do a lap with your three

01:17:04.060 --> 01:17:08.600
feet and they stay intact, I could balance all

01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:11.520
kinds of stuff on my head and stay completely

01:17:11.520 --> 01:17:16.699
still and be fine. It was broken. Dang. It was

01:17:16.699 --> 01:17:19.800
broken last year. And instead of three feet and

01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:22.399
six inches, it was four feet and nine inches

01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:29.520
as of July of last year. It doesn't explain...

01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:33.859
The thing that kind of irritates me about the

01:17:33.859 --> 01:17:36.039
Guinness records is that it doesn't explain any

01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:38.819
of the context around it, which is a lot of the...

01:17:39.210 --> 01:17:41.409
one of the toughest things about trying to research

01:17:41.409 --> 01:17:43.069
for this episode and also one of the hardest

01:17:43.069 --> 01:17:45.710
things about having a conversation about it as

01:17:45.710 --> 01:17:48.449
like yeah if we were just surface level trying

01:17:48.449 --> 01:17:52.409
to be like yeah what was the the tallest stack

01:17:52.409 --> 01:17:54.670
of hats that a person's ever worn but like did

01:17:54.670 --> 01:17:57.529
they was it just like you built it oh we're good

01:17:57.529 --> 01:18:00.029
you got a picture we're done or did they have

01:18:00.029 --> 01:18:02.010
to walk around with it did they have to balance

01:18:02.010 --> 01:18:05.189
it for 60 seconds like what are we talking those

01:18:05.189 --> 01:18:08.649
are all varying levels of world record worthy

01:18:08.649 --> 01:18:12.590
yeah i agree so i definitely think that those

01:18:12.590 --> 01:18:16.550
should be added into especially for dumb stuff

01:18:16.550 --> 01:18:20.350
like that like just stacking stuff okay you if

01:18:20.350 --> 01:18:23.569
you can stack it great but we need to we need

01:18:23.569 --> 01:18:27.529
to make sure that this isn't a legit thing one

01:18:27.529 --> 01:18:30.529
that i believe should absolutely be disqualified

01:18:30.529 --> 01:18:34.590
for its hyper specificity uh most balloons burst

01:18:34.590 --> 01:18:38.039
with one fork or Burst with a fork in one minute.

01:18:38.420 --> 01:18:42.300
Sorry to the globophobes out there. Hopefully

01:18:42.300 --> 01:18:46.020
Emily's not listening. No, I did exaggerate her

01:18:46.020 --> 01:18:49.640
globophobia a little bit. Not completely, but

01:18:49.640 --> 01:18:53.579
she wants everyone to know that she is not, in

01:18:53.579 --> 01:18:58.359
fact, terrified of the existence of inflated

01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:04.640
balloons. Okay. But, okay, so... I think that

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:07.380
would need to be one that has an in -person representative

01:19:07.380 --> 01:19:09.859
to check the fork. Is it a standard fork or is

01:19:09.859 --> 01:19:13.920
it a sharpened fork? Is it essentially just four

01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:18.119
little knives? Yeah. Because that would... The

01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:23.000
trident. Three little stab bits. Yeah. So, I

01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:28.659
mean, that one seems a little hinky. And I feel

01:19:28.659 --> 01:19:33.000
like if I had... specialty fork, my balloon popping

01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.680
fork, I could easily break a record for however

01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:43.439
many in a minute. Yeah. 197. 197. The real challenge

01:19:43.439 --> 01:19:47.659
with that would be to fill 197 balloons and be

01:19:47.659 --> 01:19:50.579
in a space that can accommodate 197 balloons.

01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:53.739
Yeah, you have to like chase down the balloons

01:19:53.739 --> 01:19:55.779
to stab them at some point. Are they taped down?

01:19:56.319 --> 01:19:59.180
Are they locked down to where you just... I feel

01:19:59.180 --> 01:20:02.039
like... The way that that situation makes sense

01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:04.520
to me is it's a balloon, or it's a, like, small

01:20:04.520 --> 01:20:07.779
-ish room. It's filled with enough balloons that,

01:20:07.859 --> 01:20:11.079
like, you don't technically have to move a ton.

01:20:11.239 --> 01:20:14.000
You just have to, like, stab downwards. Yeah.

01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:16.619
Until you get yourself in the leg with your cheating

01:20:16.619 --> 01:20:21.600
fork. And you hit an artery. What an embarrassing

01:20:21.600 --> 01:20:24.479
way to die. He died doing what he loved. Ricky

01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:28.260
Bobby -ing yourself. Chasing Guinness records.

01:20:29.710 --> 01:20:33.029
I am so paralyzed. Now prove it. Don't do it,

01:20:33.069 --> 01:20:36.390
Ricky. Don't do it. And lastly, the heaviest

01:20:36.390 --> 01:20:40.270
weight held by the human beard. How much weight

01:20:40.270 --> 01:20:44.630
do you think that your beard could hold? I don't

01:20:44.630 --> 01:20:50.409
know. I'm not up on my whatever biotin, whatever

01:20:50.409 --> 01:20:55.829
the vitamin is that strengthens your hairs. I

01:20:55.829 --> 01:21:00.810
don't know. I feel like. Okay, I have, you probably

01:21:00.810 --> 01:21:02.810
don't have the answer to this, but maybe someone

01:21:02.810 --> 01:21:07.630
out there does. What, is it single, single strand?

01:21:08.270 --> 01:21:12.630
Or is it like the... Beard, whole thing. Okay,

01:21:12.689 --> 01:21:17.649
but one loop? Would that matter? It would, because,

01:21:18.090 --> 01:21:22.890
because, in a previous life, I was a certified

01:21:22.890 --> 01:21:26.909
crane operator. And I was also head rigger in

01:21:26.909 --> 01:21:31.899
charge. And if you know anything about being

01:21:31.899 --> 01:21:55.579
a rigger, you have to go through charts of what

01:21:55.579 --> 01:21:58.390
you can lift and what you can't lift. certain

01:21:58.390 --> 01:22:02.550
lifting straps are rated for and different orientations

01:22:02.550 --> 01:22:05.210
means that they are rated for different weights.

01:22:05.449 --> 01:22:08.489
And then with the crane, you also have, if you

01:22:08.489 --> 01:22:11.789
have just a single line, if you've got double

01:22:11.789 --> 01:22:14.289
line, if you've got triple line, then you like

01:22:14.289 --> 01:22:18.069
multiply the strength of that single cable. So

01:22:18.069 --> 01:22:22.029
if you have some sort of elaborate pulley system

01:22:22.029 --> 01:22:25.829
in your beard, It stands to reason that you could

01:22:25.829 --> 01:22:30.529
lift or at least hold with the same beard four

01:22:30.529 --> 01:22:36.529
times, ten times its normal rated capacity. So

01:22:36.529 --> 01:22:41.430
if you just do one, like you just feed it through

01:22:41.430 --> 01:22:44.189
a weight and then you just hold the other end,

01:22:44.270 --> 01:22:48.949
that's going to be. one maximum capacity, but

01:22:48.949 --> 01:22:51.109
if you looped it through a couple times and then

01:22:51.109 --> 01:22:55.050
held it, you could easily do 10 times that. So

01:22:55.050 --> 01:22:59.090
I think that if they are going to put forth these

01:22:59.090 --> 01:23:02.409
records and they're going to give them these

01:23:02.409 --> 01:23:05.890
titles, I think the titles at least need a little

01:23:05.890 --> 01:23:09.750
more clarity on what these people did in order

01:23:09.750 --> 01:23:13.029
to achieve them. If you go on their website,

01:23:13.170 --> 01:23:16.199
can you see their submission videos? Or can you

01:23:16.199 --> 01:23:18.939
see the proof? Did he just loop it through once?

01:23:19.300 --> 01:23:22.039
Hold on. Sending it to you now. And what'd you

01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:24.399
say the weight was? I didn't. I asked you what

01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:27.720
you thought your beard was. Oh. I mean, right

01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:30.100
now, there's no way I'd be able to loop it through

01:23:30.100 --> 01:23:34.239
anything. But I think probably, I don't know,

01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:38.100
10, 15 pounds, somewhere in there. Could you

01:23:38.100 --> 01:23:41.380
lift an entire person? This guy did. 140 pounds.

01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:47.189
Huh. Okay. So. If the person just like did a

01:23:47.189 --> 01:23:50.590
couple loops around, does it say how long the

01:23:50.590 --> 01:23:53.869
beard was? So you can see the... Where'd you

01:23:53.869 --> 01:23:56.770
send it to? I texted it to you. I haven't gotten

01:23:56.770 --> 01:23:59.550
anything yet. It's got to cross the Android iPhone

01:23:59.550 --> 01:24:04.010
barrier. He's Lithuanian. But so in this video,

01:24:04.210 --> 01:24:07.489
give me a rough estimate of length of beard.

01:24:07.689 --> 01:24:11.310
I don't know what the length is. It looks like

01:24:11.310 --> 01:24:17.449
it goes to about... Boop. About like his chest.

01:24:18.550 --> 01:24:22.409
Okay, so. It's a decently long beard. Yeah, you're

01:24:22.409 --> 01:24:24.090
probably not going to be able to wrap too many

01:24:24.090 --> 01:24:28.270
times around that. But no, I mean, okay. That

01:24:28.270 --> 01:24:33.250
one is. I mean, that's something. Oh, that's

01:24:33.250 --> 01:24:36.829
a little wispy. I don't know. I'll give him that

01:24:36.829 --> 01:24:41.189
one. That one is a feat. That may be the first

01:24:41.189 --> 01:24:45.380
one. It's this. He's got a little like, like

01:24:45.380 --> 01:24:50.140
she's in a harness. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I

01:24:50.140 --> 01:24:52.619
mean, yeah. Cause then the center of gravity

01:24:52.619 --> 01:24:57.220
is okay. Yeah. Maybe I take back what I said

01:24:57.220 --> 01:24:59.840
about it being a feed. It is something, I mean,

01:24:59.840 --> 01:25:02.460
as far as the ones that we've mentioned so far,

01:25:02.659 --> 01:25:07.319
it's not just accumulating garbage and it's not

01:25:07.319 --> 01:25:13.050
just, uh, risking your own hygiene. So I will

01:25:13.050 --> 01:25:17.710
say that that is the first one that I can say,

01:25:17.810 --> 01:25:21.829
okay, that's something. But no, maybe I was a

01:25:21.829 --> 01:25:28.829
little doubtful of what my beard could do. I

01:25:28.829 --> 01:25:32.909
don't know. Yeah. I don't have any of the details

01:25:32.909 --> 01:25:35.829
on this one. I couldn't find anything. But there's

01:25:35.829 --> 01:25:39.289
also the fastest motorized toilet, which is 55

01:25:39.289 --> 01:25:41.979
miles per hour. I have no idea what that means.

01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.140
I'd like to. I'd like to know what that means.

01:25:45.739 --> 01:25:48.899
How does the toilet go 55 miles per hour? What

01:25:48.899 --> 01:25:55.159
does that mean? In order for that to be worthy

01:25:55.159 --> 01:25:58.699
in my eyes, it would have to be a fully functional

01:25:58.699 --> 01:26:04.000
toilet. It can't just be a toilet that is acting

01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:07.100
as a chair. So if it is just a place for you

01:26:07.100 --> 01:26:12.100
to sit. So that you can go 55 miles an hour down

01:26:12.100 --> 01:26:15.920
the road. Then you just made a very uncomfortable

01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:21.140
go -kart. It was sponsored by DC. It's a very

01:26:21.140 --> 01:26:24.819
uncomfortable go -kart. Yes. No. Okay. No, that's

01:26:24.819 --> 01:26:28.960
no. That is just something that you threw a toilet

01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:36.119
on. And then there better be a hole cut out.

01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:39.319
And all those flame retardant clothes he's wearing.

01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:43.119
To make it a functional toilet or else it's nothing.

01:26:44.779 --> 01:26:47.619
The guy who made it calls it the Hawk, the highly

01:26:47.619 --> 01:26:51.840
advanced water closet. The water closet isn't

01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:54.140
the toilet. The water closet is the entire room.

01:26:56.140 --> 01:26:58.680
Yeah, if you're outside, the whole world is your

01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:07.439
water closet. The fastest motorized bathroom?

01:27:08.520 --> 01:27:12.340
Is it just a port -a -potty on wheels? A road

01:27:12.340 --> 01:27:15.359
legal bog standard, a motorcycle and sidecar

01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:18.039
hidden under a bathroom set consisting of a toilet,

01:27:18.079 --> 01:27:21.000
bathtub, sink, and laundry bin, which can travel

01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:25.899
at a rate of 68 kilometers per hour. What is

01:27:25.899 --> 01:27:33.720
that in freedom units? 42 miles per hour. Why

01:27:33.720 --> 01:27:37.340
would you not include a picture of that? That's

01:27:37.340 --> 01:27:43.720
so silly, man. So silly. Do I really have to

01:27:43.720 --> 01:27:46.239
get the book for this? I don't even know if it's

01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:50.319
in there. It should be. They gotta have a reason

01:27:50.319 --> 01:27:54.640
for you to buy it somehow. All of the pictures

01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:57.760
are just this stock footage of a person scrubbing

01:27:57.760 --> 01:28:01.319
their bathroom. I don't want a fast scrubber

01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:04.939
for my bathroom. I want a fastest moving bathroom.

01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:16.220
Can you imagine? Can you imagine? I mean, I guess

01:28:16.220 --> 01:28:20.199
you're pooping on a train. You're probably going

01:28:20.199 --> 01:28:22.399
about 55 miles an hour, but can you imagine being

01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:27.880
on a non -enclosed toilet going 55 miles an hour?

01:28:28.319 --> 01:28:34.279
And trying to take care of your business. Oh,

01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:36.399
you better hope that the wind doesn't catch the

01:28:36.399 --> 01:28:40.199
toilet paper roll. He's just leaving a giant

01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:45.439
streamer behind him. That's part of the aesthetic.

01:28:49.880 --> 01:28:52.539
That's so dumb. Why can't I see pictures of these

01:28:52.539 --> 01:28:58.909
things? Just nonsense. It's what the world has

01:28:58.909 --> 01:29:04.310
come to. There's also a world record for sitting

01:29:04.310 --> 01:29:11.090
on the toilet. Five days? That. He set a goal

01:29:11.090 --> 01:29:16.609
of 168 hours and spent almost five days. He had

01:29:16.609 --> 01:29:19.449
to quit after 116 because his body couldn't handle

01:29:19.449 --> 01:29:24.989
it anymore. Do you? Still? Can you regain feeling

01:29:24.989 --> 01:29:28.720
in your legs after that? After 116 hours on a

01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:31.420
toilet? I wouldn't think so. You'd need one of

01:29:31.420 --> 01:29:36.119
those vibrating platforms to jostle your legs

01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:38.720
while you're sitting there. He was allowed five

01:29:38.720 --> 01:29:40.619
minutes every hour, which he could accumulate

01:29:40.619 --> 01:29:42.939
over several hours to use his sleeping time,

01:29:43.039 --> 01:29:45.880
or ironically, toilet breaks, as his record attempt

01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:53.659
wasn't actually connected to playing. What is

01:29:53.659 --> 01:29:57.470
the point? Well, he's not going to poop in front

01:29:57.470 --> 01:30:03.329
of the people. Why not? Why not? That should

01:30:03.329 --> 01:30:03.949
be part of it. You know what? They did come to

01:30:03.949 --> 01:30:07.569
see this man spend 116 hours on a toilet. He

01:30:07.569 --> 01:30:09.170
should have given the people what they want.

01:30:12.930 --> 01:30:15.270
There were some auditors or what are they called?

01:30:16.189 --> 01:30:17.670
What did you say they were called? Adjudicators.

01:30:17.989 --> 01:30:21.409
Adjudicators left there very disappointed. He

01:30:21.409 --> 01:30:26.489
got three hours of sleep over five days. Just

01:30:26.489 --> 01:30:28.409
so that he could sit on a toilet he couldn't

01:30:28.409 --> 01:30:32.829
use. Okay, so you can't eat yourself to death,

01:30:32.989 --> 01:30:36.470
but you can sit on a toilet for five days and

01:30:36.470 --> 01:30:40.229
that's a -okay with the Guinness people? That

01:30:40.229 --> 01:30:45.710
is much more unhealthy and detrimental to your

01:30:45.710 --> 01:30:50.329
well -being than just eating for an extended

01:30:50.329 --> 01:30:55.170
period of time. The longest he's record is 508

01:30:55.170 --> 01:30:58.689
seconds. Eight and a half minutes. How do you

01:30:58.689 --> 01:31:02.930
know that that... The longest P record? Yeah.

01:31:03.789 --> 01:31:08.590
Like, continual? Eight and a half minutes, yeah.

01:31:09.550 --> 01:31:15.569
How do you... I don't know. Don't know. That's

01:31:15.569 --> 01:31:19.770
got to be terrible for your... Whatever the starting

01:31:19.770 --> 01:31:22.649
and stopping... I mean, I don't think that's

01:31:22.649 --> 01:31:26.310
your... What do they say that damages? Pelvic

01:31:26.310 --> 01:31:32.529
floor. Oh. And that damages your pelvic floor

01:31:32.529 --> 01:31:36.470
or makes it stronger? It damages it. Oh. I think.

01:31:36.729 --> 01:31:39.270
So if you do it like while you're peeing, I think

01:31:39.270 --> 01:31:41.529
it's bad for you. If you're just doing it for

01:31:41.529 --> 01:31:44.029
the fun of it, I think it's not. What if you're

01:31:44.029 --> 01:31:47.289
doing it while you're American? How about that?

01:31:48.750 --> 01:31:52.189
God, I'm on a roll. We should record all these

01:31:52.189 --> 01:31:56.130
at one o 'clock in the morning. And on that note,

01:31:56.170 --> 01:31:58.510
do you have any final thoughts? Do I have any

01:31:58.510 --> 01:32:03.109
final thoughts? Yes. Most Guinness Book of World

01:32:03.109 --> 01:32:10.109
Records records are stupid. And use your time

01:32:10.109 --> 01:32:13.770
more wisely. Or don't. I don't care. I don't

01:32:13.770 --> 01:32:16.069
know you. If that's what you want your legacy

01:32:16.069 --> 01:32:20.270
to be, that you have disgusting, gross, nasty

01:32:20.270 --> 01:32:25.729
nails, then do it. Whatever. There are cooler

01:32:25.729 --> 01:32:29.170
world records. There are, but I'm focusing on

01:32:29.170 --> 01:32:33.210
the gross ones. That these people need to do

01:32:33.210 --> 01:32:36.670
better things with their time. The guy with the

01:32:36.670 --> 01:32:41.489
largest collection of props, which is 3 ,569

01:32:41.489 --> 01:32:47.310
pairs. His name is Doogie Sand Tiger. I don't

01:32:47.310 --> 01:32:49.489
know if this is a Vin Diesel situation and he

01:32:49.489 --> 01:32:53.109
just opted for his name to be that. This is a...

01:32:53.699 --> 01:32:56.279
Moneybags, Big Wiener kind of situation. Yeah.

01:32:57.420 --> 01:33:01.840
You could be. Moneybags, Big Wiener. Callback.

01:33:01.899 --> 01:33:04.720
If you try hard, if you follow your dreams, you

01:33:04.720 --> 01:33:09.960
too could be Doogie Sand Tiger or Moneybags,

01:33:10.079 --> 01:33:14.000
Big Wiener. That's my final thought. All right.

01:33:14.100 --> 01:33:17.800
Set a world record tomorrow. Yes, because apparently

01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:21.520
you can set a world record for anything. For

01:33:21.520 --> 01:33:25.890
like five bucks. Why not? There you go. And on

01:33:25.890 --> 01:33:29.909
that, we'll see you. Peace out, Girl Scouts.
