A massive 35-foot-tall, 11,000-square-foot backyard structure on the Lehi–American Fork border has neighbors fuming — and honestly, we get it. KSL’s Dan Rascon has the story (and it's one you really need to SEE to believe). Then it's Vacation Club time: forget the two-week blowout — "micro-cations" are the move. This has us asking, is the road trip dead? Plus, 66-year-old Judi Oyama just rolled into the Guinness World Records 2027 book as the oldest competitive female skateboarder on Earth — she's been shredding for over 50 years and is heading to the World Skate Games in Paraguay this October. (Just… maybe don't try this at home.) And Little Debbie teamed up with LA chocolatier Compartés for three premium chocolate bars inspired by Cosmic Brownies, Honey Buns, and more — $12 each and available now. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM. Watch on YouTube from 12–1 PM, then tune in on radio and YouTube from 1–3 PM.

Available at Gravity Taproom (Orlando), a bar in Winter Park, Legacy Wine and Liquors (Sanford), Rock Brew (Sanford), and One Utopia (Clermont), with tastings announced on their social media. Streamline Mortgage Solutions (streamlineflorida.com) — Contact Brian for free mortgage guidance; he tracks changing mortgage programs/laws and alerts clients when it's worth refinancing. Segment Rundown Cold open: Orlando Weekly wins — Tom and Dan thank listeners for voting them #1 podcast in the Orlando Weekly awards again (won every year but one), explain why the recognition matters for their small business, praise Will's Pub owner Will Walker for leaning into similar local promotion, and tease a story they're saving for Monday's BDM-only show. Nobody has it figured out — After a bit riffing on an adult-film parody, the group discusses chasing money and fame with Aimee, including the story of Pauly Shore once calling them for business advice and George Wallace still hustling decades into his career — the takeaway being that no one, however successful, ever fully "figures it out." Selling 10% of the show — Inspired by NFL teams selling ownership stakes (the Atlanta Falcons' $1.6B sale of 10%) and Mark Cuban's rise, the hosts joke about selling 10% of Tom and Dan and using AI to preserve their likenesses after death. Aimee's job buyout — Aimee shares that she's taking a voluntary severance from her 12-year job at a Medicaid-based insurance company, effective by May 2027, and has already lined up new therapy and contract work; the hosts joke about her stealing office supplies and the three of them starting an affiliate partnership. Neighbor bush feud advice — Aimee asks for help with an 11-year feud with an elderly neighbor over a shared, overgrown bush encroaching on her house; the group runs through escalating "solutions" (hiring a surveyor since overhanging branches can legally be trimmed, plant diseases/whiteflies, popping tires, a kindness gift basket) while Aimee also vents about the same neighbors letting their dogs bark late at night. Aimee's upcoming shows (first plug) — Plugs for Aimee's long-running Shit Sandwich comedy show (15 years, first and third Fridays, with Rue co-hosting), a free family show/class Aug 29 at the Melrose Center, an improv jam that same night at Stigma Tattoos through the Florida Comedy Collective, and a Sept 26 West End Live show opening for Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, Pickle and Peanut). Marching band car wash fundraiser — Tom plugs his niece's Lake Howell Marching Band charity car wash, comparing it to his own high school band fundraiser days, and the group riffs on whether kids doing donation-based fundraisers should just be tipped for playing their instruments instead, plus a jab at cheap oversized "big check" charity photo ops. AI voice-translation app demo — Dan shows off an AI app that translates a video into other languages (French, Mandarin, Swedish) in the speaker's own voice with matching lip movement, demoed using Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 promo clips, sparking discussion of how fast real-time translation tech is advancing. Optimus robot speculation — Riffing on a detail from Tesla's Aug 5 earnings call (robots reportedly getting chips before cars), the hosts imagine owning a humanoid Optimus robot to drive any car and handle housework and yard work, while questioning Elon Musk's track record on self-driving promises. Costa Concordia documentary recap — Tom recaps a Netflix documentary on the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster (the captain's unauthorized close "salute" pass, the reef strike, 32 deaths, his botched response and prison sentence), tying it back to their own upcoming Tom & Dan Cruise announcement. Poop stories and Concrete Mike call — A riff on awkward public-pooping stories (a "poop cruise" documentary, past guests improvising with towels) leads into a call from regular listener "Concrete Mike," who talks about using job-site dumpsters instead of portable toilets, becoming a new grandfather the night before, and hitting his 50th birthday. Aging radio personality tangent — A riff on an old colleague/bit going "full radio" and speculation about the declining health of an unnamed public figure known for hormone-replacement therapy abuse. Grave-niche theft follow-up — Dan describes keeping his parents' and family dog's ashes in an urn box in his wife's office, following up on a prior story about robbers stealing from cemetery niches. Caller: Tom's mom — Tom calls his mom live on air to ask, hypothetically, whether she'd help him commit various crimes (grave robbing, fake pest-control scams, driving a getaway car); she affectionately confirms she'd always back him, contrasted with Aimee's mom, who Aimee says would turn her in. Penn State cocaine ring story — Discussion of a news story about a cocaine trafficking ring run out of two Penn State fraternities, the alleged ringleader facing decades in prison, and a broader riff on drug legalization versus criminalization and treatment-based drug policy. Portland, Oregon tangent — A brief detour recalling an unsettling encounter with an intimidating stranger during a past trip to Portland, comparing its street culture to Orlando's. World's oldest person story — Discussion of the new Guinness World Record holder for oldest living person (a British woman turning 117) and the extraordinary span of history she's lived through — the Great Depression, WWII, the moon landing, the invention of the internet, two pandemics, and the Titanic sinking. Aimee's C-section story — Aimee shares her emergency C-section experience, including the surgical team nicking her breech baby's toe and playing an unwanted song during the procedure, plus a listener's story about a relative's more serious, complicated C-section. Future medicine and tech nostalgia — Closing speculation about longevity advances (cancer vaccines, genetic screening at birth) alongside early-technology nostalgia, including Dan's dad's status-symbol car phone. Show close and plugs — Final recap of Aimee's upcoming shows, a tease that BDM members will hear a special story on Monday's show, and a note that a full Tom & Dan Cruise announcement is coming soon. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned August 29, 1:30 PM — Aimee LeCours' free family show/class at the Melrose Center (Orange County Library System).

Before Andrew Salisbury became captivated by the biochemistry of coffee, he set a Guinness World Record jumping out of a helicopter tethered to a bungee cord over Cancun, part of a career that has swung between call center software, extreme sports, and now one of the country's fastest-growing coffee companies. In this conversation, the founder of Purity Coffee explains why much of the coffee on the market fails basic testing for mold and heavy metals, and walks through how various factors change how much of coffee's antioxidant benefit actually reaches your cup. He makes the case that coffee's health benefits come from its polyphenols and chlorogenic acids rather than its caffeine, a distinction he says the industry gets backward. Listeners will also hear about his newest venture, a honey partnership with an indigenous community in the Amazon, and why he thinks the choice of what you drink every single day matters more than most supplements.Bonus: Save 20% on your order at puritycoffee.com with code AGEISTJoin Us at the 2026 Super Age Games!

Guinness World Records has quietly become a marketing machine, running roughly 1,300 brand activations a year for companies chasing attention through record-breaking stunts. We're joined by Marco Frigatti, Senior Vice President of Guinness World Records for Business, who started out as an adjudicator - measuring, counting and witnessing everything from the largest yoga class to a rather unfortunate fish-gutting attempt. We talk about how the record book became a brand-marketing engine, why record-breaking works so well for launches, destination marketing and employee engagement, and how Guinness World Records has 'democratised' record-breaking so anyone can have a go.

Dental marketing has changed significantly, but the goal is still to connect with the right patients and give them a reason to care. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Minal Sampat, marketing strategist, social media coach, dental hygienist, best-selling author, and founder of Marketologist, about what is working in dental marketing today. You will learn how to use AI without losing trust, create content around patient outcomes, improve local and social marketing, track where patients actually come from, and evaluate your marketing budget based on your audience and competition. For practical ways to make your marketing more effective, listen to Episode 1085 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Marketing platforms and techniques continue to change, but effective marketing still depends on connecting with people and giving them something they care about.AI should be used as a tool rather than a substitute for human communication, and practices should be transparent when AI-generated avatars or content are being used.Dental content builds more trust when it shows the patient outcome of treatment instead of focusing only on procedures.Practices can expand their local reach by supporting nearby businesses and organizations and collaborating with them through social media content.Marketing budgets should be based on the competitive environment, the patients the practice wants to serve, and the activities that produce a measurable return.New patient forms can help identify the patient journey by allowing patients to select every marketing source that contributed to their decision.Internal marketing should emphasize patient appreciation and practice culture, while external marketing should create a consistent experience across reviews, social media, websites, ads, and patient communication.Episode Chapters:00:00 What is working in dental marketing today.02:39 Minal's background in marketing and dental hygiene.05:40 Creating a Guinness World Record campaign.10:11 How dental marketing changed after COVID-19.13:26 The growing role of AI in marketing.14:55 Using AI while maintaining trust.17:00 Humanizing AI-generated communication.21:05 Social media content and Google search visibility.22:30 Creating dental content that builds trust.28:49 A simple local marketing strategy for dental practices.30:59 Combining ground marketing with social media.33:11 Leveraging existing marketing to reduce unnecessary spending.35:37 Understanding your target audience.36:52 Marketing KPIs and tracking patient sources.40:07 Internal versus external marketing.42:29 Evaluating the potential patient journey.44:15 Final thoughts on using marketing tools effectively.44:47 Minal's Exchange session.45:43 Podcast Wrap UpGuest Bio:Minal Sampat, RDH is the bestselling author of Why Your Marketing Is Killing Your Business, And What To Do About It.

We tend to think of genius as something you're born with. A rare quality possessed by people with extraordinary memories, mathematical abilities, or problem-solving skills.But what if many of the abilities we associate with genius can actually be trained?In this episode, I'm joined by Nelson Dellis, a six-time USA Memory Champion, Guinness World Record holder, and author of Everyday Genius, about the practical skills we can all develop to make better use of our minds.Nelson explains how he went from having what he describes as a fairly ordinary memory to becoming one of the world's top memory athletes. He shares the techniques he uses to memorise enormous amounts of information, including numbers, names and lists, and explains why the ability to remember information still matters in an age when we can ask our phones or AI to retrieve almost anything for us.We also get into mental maths, problem-solving, curiosity, intuition and the fascinating question of whether our minds may be capable of more than we currently understand.Show HighlightsHow Nelson became interested in memory after watching his grandmother struggle with Alzheimer'sWhat it actually takes to become a competitive memory athleteWhy Nelson believes memory is a skill that can be trained rather than a fixed abilityThe SEE, LINK, GO framework for remembering almost anythingHow to build and use a memory palaceHow to remember people's names — and why most of us forget them in the first placeWhy making information vivid, unusual and even ridiculous helps it stickHow to remember lists, speeches, numbers and everyday tasksWhy reviewing and practising memory techniques eventually makes them feel almost automaticHow to develop better number sense and perform calculations in your headWhy mental arithmetic is worth practising when we have calculators in our pocketsHow curiosity can play a role in developing intelligenceWhether technology and AI are making us mentally weaker or simply changing the way we thinkNelson's thoughts on intuition, dreams and remote viewingWhy exercising your brain can be approached much like exercising your bodyThe Big IdeaOne of the most interesting ideas in this conversation is that genius may be less about having an extraordinary brain and more about learning how to use an ordinary brain extraordinarily well.Nelson's own story is a good example. He didn't grow up believing he had a remarkable memory. He discovered techniques that worked, practised them, and gradually transformed his abilities.The lesson is encouraging: there may be considerably more room for improvement in our mental abilities than we assume.Try This Memory TechniqueNelson's SEE, LINK, GO system provides a simple starting point.SEE: Turn the information you want to remember into a vivid mental image.LINK: Connect that image to something else you already know or to a specific location.GO: Retrieve the information by mentally returning to that image or location.The stranger, more vivid, emotional or humorous you can make the mental image, the better.Try it the next time someone gives you a short list of things to remember. Instead of repeating the list over and over, turn each item into an exaggerated mental picture and link the pictures together.You may be surprised by how much easier they are to recall.Resources MentionedEveryday Genius by Nelson DellisNelson Dellis's work on memory and mental performanceMemory palacesMemory competitionsMental mathematics and number senseIntuition, dreams and remote viewingConnect With Nelson Dellishttps://www.nelsondellis.com/Find out more about Nelson, his memory techniques and his work through his website and social channels.And if you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who would enjoy learning how to get more out of their own mind.Final ThoughtYou don't have to be born a genius.You can train your memory. You can improve your focus. You can become better at solving problems. You can develop your curiosity.The question isn't simply “How smart am I?”It's “What could I become better at if I actually trained it?”Question or comment?

BYU football fall camp is rolling, and KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper kicks off today's episode with the question on every Cougar fan's mind: Will Bear Bachmeier run the ball less in 2026? After rushing for 527 yards and 11 touchdowns as a true freshman last season, BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick gave some insight that there might be less running from the star quarterback. Mitch breaks down what that means for the offensive game plan and whether Bear can balance protecting himself while still being a threat with his legs. Next up, Cosmo the Cougar has finally been inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026, with the announcement coming live on Good Morning America. With three Guinness World Records, a 2020 National Mascot Championship, and viral stunts that routinely break the internet, the real question is: what took so long? Cosmo is only the second Utah-based mascot to enter the Hall of Fame, joining the Jazz Bear, who was inducted 20 years ago in 2006. Mitch discusses why this honor was long overdue. In a quick-hitter segment, former BYU star and No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa predicted what he thinks his NBA 2K27 rating should be — an 80 overall. The game's developers landed him at a 79. Close, but not quite. The Washington Wizards rookie led the nation in scoring at BYU with 25.5 points per game last season. On the NFL front, former BYU safety Tanner Wall has been signed by the Miami Dolphins after being waived by the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week. The All-Big 12 First Team honoree recorded 147 career tackles and seven interceptions in 45 games as a Cougar. Mitch shares his thoughts on Wall's path to sticking on an NFL roster. And finally, BYU star running back LJ Martin is officially back on the practice field for fall camp after undergoing shoulder surgery last December. The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, who rushed for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, was cleared for full participation in June and said he's motivated and excited to be competing again. Mitch discusses what a healthy LJ Martin means for BYU's Big 12 title hopes. Subscribe to the Cougar Tracks Podcast to stay up-to-date with all the daily episodes.

So, we are here again, at the recycled plot line of “Lego needs to lose weight”. This time, we got Pest involved so we can see the mens show off how competitive they are. The whole episode lets us explore our new bingo square: “Who's a Big Man?”. They suffer through 1 workout and a fitness test at the doctor. This week we dig into the biblical way to grow plants- Dan Carlson's “Sonic Bloom”. It's a fascinating dig that weaves in storylines you can't foresee: Guinness World Records, the best whistler on the planet, and a good ole Billy G grift.

Tucked into the orchards and hop fields of Kent sits Pluckley — a village of fewer than a thousand people that once earned a Guinness World Records mention as the most haunted village in England. Behind its round white windows and postcard lanes wait somewhere between twelve and sixteen restless dead: a Red Lady drifting the churchyard in search of a child she'll never find, a White Lady sealed inside seven nested coffins, a highwayman run through with a sword at Fright Corner, a schoolmaster hanging from a tree on a quiet lane, and the Watercress Woman who burned alive on a lonely bridge — one of the few Pluckley ghosts tied to a real, documented death. And past the last streetlamp stand the ancient trees of Dering Woods, known to the locals as the Screaming Woods, where ordinary people have fled from human screams rising out of empty darkness for decades. Host Carman Carrion traces how one man's booklets and headlines turned a peaceful English village into a legend, separates the documented dead from the folklore — including the internet's beloved 1948 "massacre" that never happened — and then steps beneath the branches, where the screaming still has no explanation. Stay on the path. And whatever you do, don't follow the voice into the trees. #DestinationTerror #Pluckley #DeringWoods #ScreamingWoods #Kent #England #MostHauntedVillage #HauntedEngland #HauntedPlaces #DarkTourism #GhostStories #Paranormal #BritishFolklore #Eeriecast #HorrorPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #Supernatural #PhantomCoach #WatercressWoman #GuinnessWorldRecords #HauntedHistory #SpookyTravel #GhostHunting #CreepyTales EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ ________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales. ________________________________________ DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/ ________________________________________ MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: ElevenLabs Learn more about your ad choices.

We welcome Marvin D. Bryson, author, screenwriter, former television editor, and caregiver advocate, to discuss his latest novel, August Heat. Set in the early 1980s, August Heat is a compelling coming-of-age story that explores how the game of football shapes the lives, character, and resilience of young men. Rather than focusing on superstar athletes or championship glory, Bryson turns his attention to the millions of players who never make it to the professional level, revealing the personal victories, struggles, and life lessons that emerge far beyond the scoreboard.During our conversation, Marvin shares the inspiration behind August Heat, lessons from a career spanning television and publishing, insights into family caregiving, and his perspective on how the entertainment industry has evolved over the past two decades.Also, on the program we speak with Sky Elements Drone Shows, one of the industry leaders in aerial drone entertainment and holder of 17 Guinness World Records, to explore the future of public celebrations. We discuss the advantages and drawbacks of traditional fireworks, including environmental concerns, impacts on pets and wildlife, PTSD triggers, fire dangers during droughts and burn bans, safety risks, legal restrictions, and rising costs. We also examine how drone shows offer an alternative, with lower noise levels, reusable technology, and the ability to operate in conditions where fireworks may be restricted.

Chad Collins is the Founder and CEO of LiveBuys, a company that provides end-to-end live-selling solutions, including hosting, creative production, technology, fulfillment, and community engagement. Together with his team, he has produced 200+ sold-out events in 150+ cities, attracting 2.5 million fans and earning seven Guinness World Records. His event portfolio includes Brick Fest Live, Comic Con for Kids, and the Bucks County Card Show. Chad is also the creator of Coins, Cards & Chaos, a live-shopping and collectibles experience that connects collectors, creators, dealers, and brands. In this episode… What turns a niche collectibles business into a thriving community that people eagerly return to week after week? Is it the products themselves, or the way creators entertain, educate, and connect with their audience? And how can live commerce transform traditional events into experiences that keep collectors engaged long after the show ends? According to Chad Collins, an award-winning entrepreneur and live commerce innovator, the key is to lead with entertainment before sales. He explains that audiences are far more likely to buy when they're first engaged through compelling content, authentic personalities, and interactive experiences. Rather than treating live selling as a transaction, he emphasizes creating a show that people genuinely want to watch. That philosophy has shaped everything from viral livestreams to large-scale collectibles events that combine in-person experiences with digital engagement. Chad also shares how experimenting with different formats, learning from failed ventures, and empowering creators have helped build loyal communities that naturally drive commerce. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Chad Collins, Founder and CEO of LiveBuys, to discuss how live commerce is transforming the collectibles industry. They explore building entertainment-first livestreams, creating immersive events like Chaos Expo, and growing loyal collector communities through content. Chad also shares lessons from Brick Fest Live, influencer partnerships, and scaling engagement across digital and in-person experiences.
This week I sat down with Matt Formston AM, and I genuinely don't know where to start with this one.At five years old, Matt was told he would go blind and never hold down a job or play sport. The doctors were half right. Matt did go blind. But everything else they said? He has spent his entire life proving wrong.Matt is a four-time Adaptive Surfing World Champion, a World Champion cyclist, an Australian Paralympian, and holds the Guinness World Record for the largest wave ever surfed by any para-athlete in history. He has had an award-winning Netflix documentary made about him — The Blind Sea — and has just released his debut book Why Not? through Wiley, out now.We talk about what it actually takes to trust someone with your life on the biggest waves in the world, the mental health challenges that don't always make the highlight reel, what resilience really looks like when the odds are stacked against you from the age of five, and why the word "can't" has never really stuck with Matt.We also get into his next chapter — Matt has become a world class free diver and is heading to Tonga in August to freedive with humpback whales. Because of course he is.This is one of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever had the privilege of sitting down with. This one will change the way you think about limits.In this episode we cover:Being told at five he would go blind and never work or play sportFour-time Adaptive Surfing World Champion and Guinness World Record holder at NazaréWorld Champion cyclist and Australian ParalympianThe Netflix documentary The Blind SeaThe role of trust on the biggest waves in the worldMental health, resilience and life at the edgeHis new book Why Not? and the message behind itFreediving shipwrecks and swimming with humpback whales in TongaMatt's Book — Why Not? https://www.amazon.com.au/Why-Not-Breaking-Limits-Business/dp/1394434626Matt's Website https://www.mattformston.com/Follow MattInstagram https://www.instagram.com/mattformston/?hl=enConnect with Cooper Workshop and Speaking Enquiries https://form.typeform.com/to/DSPSnvEH 1% Good Club Book https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/e1xrkr https://amzn.to/46ve1i2 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@cooperchapman_ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cooper-chapman-08a278151/ The Good Human Factory Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/ The Good Human Factory https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com THE GOOD HUMAN FACTORY™️ 2020 Hosted on Acast.

French Rizz has officially landed in Paris... and immediately started taking the worst tourist photos in recorded history. While Rizz enjoys croissants, wine, and accidentally inventing "half-photo tourism," the rest of the crew takes over the studio and proves that absolutely nothing can stay on the rails for very long.Moon discovers that having an empty house sounds a lot more relaxing than it actually is, because apparently sitting still for more than six minutes causes immediate guilt. King Scott earns legitimate homeowner points by repairing his own dryer, immediately becoming every Midwest dad's favorite person. Lern shares the highs and lows of Copper Fire's latest show, where technical problems forced the band to improvise through feedback, monitor speakers, and pure determination. Sometimes rock and roll isn't glamorous... sometimes it's just hoping the audience sticks around anyway.Then Rafe returns from San Antonio with what may become one of the show's all-time travel stories. Between Southwest Airlines delays, airport complaints, Pee-wee Herman's bike inside the Alamo museum, and a confession involving the Alamo that definitely deserves its own historical plaque, the crew spends way too much time debating what actually counts as "peeing at the Alamo." It's exactly the kind of discussion you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.As if that wasn't enough, Taco Bell's lettuce lawsuit continues to grow, the crew debates whether $200 is enough compensation for catastrophic fast-food regret, someone steals thousands of dollars worth of Little Debbie snacks, Martha Stewart accidentally provides some unforgettable sound bites during National Grab Some Nuts Day, and everyone shares the snacks they secretly keep stocked around the studio.Throw in conversations about French vacations, delayed flights, NBA jerseys, the St. Louis Riverfront, fashion rankings, summer heat making everyone older, and the usual nonstop roasting between friends, and you've got another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show—which, of course, means absolutely nothing about it is normal.One hundred episodes in and somehow we've reached peak Rizz Show chaos. One mysterious coffee cake delivery instantly derails the entire morning as the crew debates legendary Missouri bakeries, family traditions, suspiciously delicious pastries, and whether one slice is enough motivation to break a Guinness World Record for push-ups. (Spoiler: probably not.)The gang dives into Ariana Grande taking a well-earned break after an exhausting run of performances while discussing the line between public concern and respecting someone's privacy. Then it's onto the latest mystery surrounding Slipknot's Sid Wilson, Smashing Pumpkins celebrating a massive hometown moment at Lollapalooza, William Shatner somehow becoming a heavy metal performer at 95, and a look back at one of television's most unforgettable characters.Movie lovers get plenty to chew on too. Spider-Man continues dominating theaters, Barbie 2 hits development roadblocks, and the crew wonders why Hollywood keeps rebooting everything instead of taking chances on original stories. Along the way they revisit cult classics, argue about the greatest television series ever made, celebrate indie filmmaking, and somehow end up ranking the most scientifically accurate disaster movies ever filmed. Because naturally that's where breakfast conversations lead.The laughs don't stop there. There's an ongoing push-up debate, questionable workout motivation involving coffee cake crumbs, "Back in the Day" history lessons, celebrity birthdays, bizarre Hollywood stories, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of sarcastic banter that somehow turns every topic into comedy.With Rizz celebrating his birthday overseas, the gang decides that "Happy Birthday" is officially retired and immediately begins brainstorming the next long-term psychological prank. The mission? Convince him that everyone has always celebrated Happy Bastille Day, Rizz. The debate spirals into Mandela Effects, alternate realities, and enough gaslighting to make even the French question reality.Meanwhile, breakfast becomes an Olympic event as four boxes of donuts disappear at alarming speed while pre-workout somehow enters the equation. The crew debates whether they're fueling up for the gym or an emergency nap, and honestly nobody ever figures it out.Then comes one of the most unpredictable rounds of "3 in 5" in recent memory. Listeners battle through categories ranging from beans and famous vampires to Pixar movies, breakfast cereals, state capitals, and Tom Hanks films. Some contestants dominate. Others completely forget movies exist. Rules are forgotten. Rules are invented. Tickets are awarded anyway because apparently Charity Monday is alive and well.The conversation also dives into birthday bash planning, exclusive birthday beer names, concert giveaways, and plenty of classic Rizz Show side quests that somehow become funnier than the original topic. It is exactly the kind of organized chaos fans expect from a funny morning show that refuses to stay on script.Whether you're here for ridiculous games, sarcastic humor, listener interactions, or simply watching adults argue about whether "Happy Bastille Day" is a perfectly normal greeting, this episode delivers another unforgettable daily comedy podcast.If you're new here, welcome to the weird corner of the internet where logic takes the day off and everyone somehow leaves happier than they arrived. Fans of comedy podcasts, daily shows, pop culture commentary, hilarious fails, and St. Louis radio will feel right at home.This daily comedy podcast proudly serves comedy, chaos, and questionable decision-making every single weekday.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Phil Collins Alamo CollectionCyclospora: Missouri cases near 600, but state still missing from CDC outbreak mapTaylor Farms Class Action Seeks $200 for Taco Bell CustomersClothes cost people the most in these 5 U.S. cities, study findsLittle Debbie BanditStudy: Extreme Heat May Speed Up Aging in Older Adults10 Ways to Help Your Child Recognize Unsafe SituationsBack-to-School Mental Health: Guide for ParentsCollege instructor goes viral for catching students using AIAriana Grande Is ‘Taking a Step Back from Visibility'See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A conversation with Guinness World Record holder Patrick McMurray on merroir, the art of the perfect shuck, and building a career around one ingredient.* In this episode of The Industry Podcast, we sit down with Patrick McMurray, a Toronto-based oyster sommelier, restaurateur, and two-time record holder — 2002 World Oyster Shucking Champion and current Guinness World Record holder at 39 oysters shucked in a minute. Patrick got his start as a teenage butcher's apprentice before working the front and back of house at some of Toronto's top restaurants in the late '80s and '90s, eventually opening his own spots, Starfish and Ceili Cottage. Patrick walks through the concept of merroir — how oyster flavour shifts based on species, region, and season, in a direct parallel to terroir in wine — and breaks down North America's five oyster species along with French affinage, the process of "finishing" oysters in high-tide clear pools. He also shares the story behind his namesake oyster knife, now carried by Zyliss and *The Oyster Companion*, his book on oyster tasting and technique. The conversation covers his Guinness World Record training, including the head-to-head challenge against Gordon Ramsay on Ramsay's show, and the proper technique for eating an oyster — no sauce, a two-bite chew, and retronasal breathing to pull out the full range of flavour. Patrick also discusses: - The Oyster Master Guild, the sommelier-style learning platform he co-founded with Julie Chu - Toronto's lack of local oysters, and how that pushed him to become an expert in importing and logistics - Growing regions in Baja Mexico and Dubai, and how climate and depth change flavor - Pairing oysters with wine, beer, and whiskey — including his oyster shell whiskey pairing method - Finding "your ingredient" — the mindset he teaches his students at Centennial College Notable Quote "It's the first 50,000 oysters that are tough — after that you either get good or you become a pillow stuffer." — Patrick McMurray Connect with Patrick McMurray Website: shuckerpaddy.ca Instagram: @shuckerpatty ShuckerPaddy Oyster Shucking knife: zyliss.com/products/oyster-knife-shucker-paddy Book: The Oyster Companion A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

Gold and silver ended the week relatively steady, but beneath the surface, major global events continue to reshape the precious metals landscape. As U.S. debt approaches the historic $40 trillion mark, Japan stunned currency markets with one of the largest yen interventions ever, underscoring mounting pressure on the global fiat system. Meanwhile, the Perth Mint captured headlines by unveiling a new Guinness World Record gold bar refined to an extraordinary 99.999% purity. We also examine what these developments could mean for gold, silver, and investor sentiment in the months ahead. Listen to this week's market update for the full analysis and key charts.
The Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials will be Aug 23rd to 27th this year, and we will be there. Back in 2019 we had the opportunity to interview Erin Sills about her experience setting records on the salt. She has set 45 land speed records, has multiple Guinness World Records, and her BMW S1000RR is currently on display in the Smithsonian. She brought along her Hunter Sill Racing teammate Trev Richter, who is also chasing records on the salt, and they both have some amazing stories to share. We've paired this interview with another from 2019, this time with Stacie B. London of Triple Nickle Racing. Stacie has also set a record, but not quite as fast as Erin. She races on a 1967 Harley Davidson Aermacchi, which is why Bonneville is so great. You can take any bike from any era, and if you can make it go faster than the last person in the same category, you can set a record too. Enjoy these two interviews from the past, and come join us on the salt this August. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Tina Currin, aka Cash Money, a Triple Crown thru-hiker, Andrew Skurka guide, park ranger, wilderness EMT, and Guinness World Record holder. In this one, Tina explains how she set the world record for most air horns blown simultaneously outside the North Carolina governor's mansion, details how she bought her Colorado house sight-unseen off Zillow during a zero day on the CDT while soaking her feet in a trash can, and she recounts getting separated from her husband in a snowstorm on the CDT, where both of them hit their SOS buttons convinced the other was dead. We also cover her Denali expedition, where she summited on day 22 with the final morsels of her food supply, after multiple deaths near her camp, why she thinks the PCT is boring, and how she landed her trail name after wielding a fat wad of singles at a trail magic session on the AT. We wrap the show with the details of the upcoming Backpacker Radio Hiker Meetup in Seattle, a rundown of 20 strange things thru-hiking does to your body, ranking the AT, PCT, and CDT from best to worst- according to triple crowners, a debate over a life rewind button vs. a life pause button, a mailbag about taser-equipped trekking poles, and the triple crown of shitty beers.

Longtime Phoenix-based professional strongman Jerry Pritchett (Chickasaw) isn't ready to retire just yet. For now, his focus is on his son, Bubba, who at 15 years old, recently locked out a 615-pound deadlift at a competition. Pritchett is a veteran strongman and powerlifter who was named America's Strongest Man in 2017 and was later named a World's Strongest Man finalist. Other Native strongmen who have earned professional titles like Pritchett is Harold “Iron Bear” Collins (Lumbee). Collins was a popular competitor in the 1990s who broke six Guinness World Records, one for pulling a 50,433-pound semitruck and flatbed trailer 160 feet in 44 seconds. In Canada, Colten Sloan (Whitefish Lake First Nation) is working hard to join the ranks of these strongmen. In 2021, he became the first Indigenous man in Canada to earn a pro card in the sport and has since competed around the world.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features returning guest Sean V. Bradley alongside Cody Carter, an Orange County Toyota salesman who just became a Guinness World Record holder by selling 1,799 vehicles in a single year, a number verified directly by Toyota. Sean breaks down the mechanics behind it: the proprietary website that hides pricing behind a signup wall, the Facebook groups that turn into sales within the hour, and the nationwide auto broker network Cody built to close deals most salesmen couldn't touch, all while he works a 9 to 2 showroom schedule. Cody didn't inherit a dealership, win a lottery, or catch a lucky break. He just figured out a better way to do something everyone said couldn't be improved, and that's a lesson worth stealing no matter what you sell.

Guest host Gill Deacon speaks with the multi-talented Carisa as she prepares for a performance at Just for Laughs Montreal.

Michael Angelo Zervos is a Guinness World Record holder — he visited all 195 UN-recognized countries in 499 days. Along the way he interviewed people in every country about the happiest moment of their life. That project became a book, published by Penguin Random House, out February 23rd. We talked about: how the record works and what actually counts as "visiting" a country; a year and a half of planning vs. the Brazilian who claimed he did it by accident; getting jailed overnight in Liberia for taking a photo of a building; being deported from Nicaragua because they thought he was a journalist; how he got into North Korea during a two-week window that's since closed permanently; what North Korea is actually like (his answer: Plato's allegory of the cave, in real life); Cuba on the ground vs. what the left says about it; traveling through Ukraine, Palestine, Syria, and Sudan; asking people about happiness in active conflict zones; and what his grandfather being forced to fight for communist guerrillas in the Greek Civil War has to do with any of it.

Take a look at your speedometer the next time you're driving. Chances are, it's lying to you. The speed you're actually traveling is probably different from what the dashboard says—and that's completely intentional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer?utm From the time we're children, we're constantly reminded to "sit up straight" and "don't slouch." We've been told that good posture prevents pain, improves health, and even makes us more confident. But how much of that is actually supported by science? According to Beth Linker, surprisingly little. In this conversation, she explores where our ideas about posture came from, why so many assumptions have gone unchallenged, and what the evidence really says about the way we sit, stand, and move. Beth is a former physical therapist, medical historian, and author of Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America (https://amzn.to/4480Hhk). Imagine remembering names almost instantly, recalling conversations in remarkable detail, or memorizing enormous amounts of information with ease. It may sound like a rare gift, but Nelson Dellis says it's a skill almost anyone can learn. As a six-time USA Memory Champion, a two-time Guinness World Record holder and Grandmaster of Memory. He has mastered techniques that dramatically improve recall—and they're far simpler than most people imagine. In our conversation, Nelson explains how memory really works, why we forget so much, and the practical strategies you can start using immediately to remember more of what matters. He is author of Everyday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem-Solving, and Much More (https://amzn.to/3Rlxpc7). Tennis balls haven't always been bright yellow. For decades they were white, just as many people assume they always were. So why did manufacturers change one of the most recognizable pieces of sports equipment in the world? Interestingly, the answer has very little to do with tennis players—and everything to do with the people watching the match. https://www.itftennis.com/media/2280/balls-history-of-tennis-balls.pdf PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 391 by previewing football season for patrons before a laugh about Scott's father-in-law hijacking the family's evening. They hit the Mariners' 100-game .500 mark, reminisce about the Big Red Machine, then shift to the World Cup, where both stayed hooked long after Team USA's exit. Mitch and Scott rave about teenage phenom Lamine Yamal, poke fun at FIFA's halftime show, preview Seahawks camp, Ryan Fox's British Open win, and Bryson DeChambeau's penalty. Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50. They argue Dan Wilson has become an unfair scapegoat for a flawed roster, praise Cole Young's continued rise, and discuss Julio Rodríguez's return, Colt Emerson's progress, and looming roster decisions. Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values. Together, they provide an inside look at Seattle's newest wave of talent and what fans can expect from each prospect.

Trump kicks off his Fourth of July celebration at the Theodore Roosevelt Library, where he muses about giving his two sons and himself the Medal of Honor — describing doing so as a "threesome." Jon and Dan react to Trump's plans for Independence Day, including a Guinness World Records fireworks display, a marathon speech in 107-degree heat, and a plan for "250 pardons for 250 years." Then, the guys discuss the administration's desire to ban pregnant tourists from entering the country, Tuesday's progressive primary wins in Colorado, and the new New York Times/Siena poll that shows Democrats effectively tied in the states needed to retake the Senate.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
