There should have been at least one question on John Oliver’s segment on GWR and their rather unusual proclivity for humoring dictators.

Except the connection with the drink question, this was a pretty boring video. It’s like 90% stating names of record holders. I understand why these things get googled but it doesn’t make for a very interesting video.

Also fun fact about Michael Lolito, the guy who ate metal and glass, he died at 57 for “natrual causes” as in eating metal and glass will naturally kill you.

“How does GWR make money” – they really wanted not to say that you have to pay a huge fee to have your record verified.

GWR picked the two right personalities for this. I always figured the organization was kind of stuck up and “prestigious” but these two ladies showed it seems very down to earth and quite fun. Wouldn’t even mind working with the company if they were hiring. 😉

Let’s be honest. About 95% of these “records” are just utter BS! And 90% of those are not even that entertaining. Some guy stacked M&Ms? And humanity is so proud of this we have a f* book for it.

Those scammers they promise to make up to $50,000 profit within the space of 7 days with just $500 to invest and end up not even refunding your capital but she’s a woman of integrity, with $500 he will tell you she can only make profit within the range of $4000 to $8,900 and she actually delivers… she’s great

Guinness World Records has no oversight and isn’t an authority on anything other than how to market themselves. Literally the way you get a record “verified” by them is by paying them. It’s not an honest organization, many of their “records” are completely fake. They are just about as trustworthy as Snopes, PolitiFact, Wikipedia every other modern business that operates in the purview of “fact-checking”. They’re all snakes and none of them actually care about the truth, they care about money and their agenda.

No discussion about GWR being very little about actual achievement and more about paying to have your fame, with personal consulting to get you the most views etc.

With all the new fee and safety rules, does the book still answer the original question of fastest gaming bird in Europe? Hunting a bird isn’t safe for the bird, and wild animals don’t have owners signing up with GWR.
A similar problem applies to all the other records about loosing or failing or dying. Like “most painful death” (with subcategories)?
