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.

Some people collect coins. Others collect vomit bags, ventriloquist dummies, and an unsettling number of preserved penises.

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?

Behind the desk, it was all smiles. Behind the scenes? Bloodbath.

This week, the gloves are off as Midnight Facts for Insomniacs dives into one of the pettiest showbiz showdowns of all time: the late-night talk show turf wars. From Carson’s couch to Conan’s catastrophe, MFFI unpacks the egos, betrayals, network screwjobs, and one very famous chin.

Three hosts. One desk. Zero chill.

What do a disgraced pizza mogul, a Hollywood predator, a fugitive auto exec, and a guy who accidentally triggered a PR meltdown from a Coldplay Jumbotron have in common? Each one became the face of a very public corporate scandal.

This episode unpacks the downfall of John Schnatter, whose meltdown tanked Papa John’s; Harvey Weinstein, whose decades of abuse shook Hollywood to its core; Carlos Ghosn, the Nissan exec who escaped prosecution in a box; and Andy Byron, whose brief Jumbotron cameo set off a viral firestorm his company hasn't recovered from. Add in wage theft lawsuits, illegal marketing schemes, and some jaw-droppingly bad decision-making, and it’s a crash course in how not to run a company.
