  • Ep10: Fire Stunts with Joe Toedling
    Dec 6 2025

    You might want to put on some oven gloves, because boy do we have a scorcher of an episode for you this week!


    For lucky episode number 7 we are joined by Hollywood's second favourite Austrian, stuntman 'Burning' Joe Toedling. If a world record involves being set on fire for an uncomfortable amount of time, Joe probably holds it. Joe tells us all about his favourite times being on fire, times it nearly went very badly wrong, and why exactly he believes he's able to survive being on fire longer than anyone else in the world.


    We also discuss our favourite fire related world records in 'Record Breaker of the Week' and take a rundown of this week's record-related news in 'GB News', featuring both a really old horse and Bonnie Blue (spoiler...we recorded this episode nearly a year ago, so the news is a tad out of date)


    AND could this be the week Sam or Josh finally break a world record?! It might just be...

  • Ep9: Poo Records with George Frandsen
    Nov 11 2025

    *WARNING: The episode contains gratuitous puns about poop*


    Today we're talking a load of sh*t - both metaphorically and literally - because this episode's guest is the owner of the world's largest collection of fossilised poo (coprolites), and esteemed founder of 'The Poozeum' in Arizona, USA. It's the magnificent George Frandsen! Simply the world's number one when it comes to number twos.


    With this theme unavoidably dumped on our desks, we dig deep into all records poop related. And what a journey that is! Who would've known there were so many layers to the wonderful world of poo? ...Well, George Frandsen as it turns out.


    An inevitably childish, but genuinely fascinating interview with our new favourite museum curator. What a guy. What a subject. What an episode!

  • Ep8: Halloween Special *Boneless Episode*
    Nov 4 2025

    Come and listen to the episode that has (unofficially) broken the world record for 'The spookiest ever Halloween special edition of a podcast specifically about world record breakers'. It's both spooktacular AND fangtastic...two original puns that no Halloween-themed thing has claimed to be, ever.


    No world record holding guest this week - just two hosts who are distinctly average in almost every skill and category other than enthusiasm for world records. Along with some very spooky trivia, and a brilliant game that is in no way convoluted to explain.


    Ghostly nuns, massive vegetables, skateboarding pigs, and a man who lives under a beer garden, you name a tenuously-linked Halloween world record, we got it!


    Happy Halloween!
