    The Wild, Weird History of the Guinness Book of World Records
    Sep 11 2025

    It began with a shotgun, a missed shot, and a very nerdy debate.

    In this record-breaking episode, Shane and Duncan track the origins of the Guinness Book of World Records, uncover the publishing quirks that made it a global phenomenon, and spotlight some of the most astonishing, hilarious, and downright unhinged feats ever committed to paper.

    From competitive juggling to tattooed seniors and flaming jump rope enthusiasts, this is one for the record books.

    Aug 28 2025

    In this bizarrely specific episode, Shane and Duncan dig into some of the strangest collections ever assembled, from thousands of bras to a lifelong bunny obsession. Follow along as the guys attempt to answer the age-old question: at what point does a hobby become a cry for help?
