  • Ep6: April Choi
    Sep 18 2024

    In our sixth episode, we meet multiple world record holder April Choi – best known in the record-breaking community for her world-class whip-cracking talents! From the longest whip to the fastest whip, and all the various niche whip-cracking and even fire-breathing related stunts in between, April would put Indiana Jones to shame if it ever came down to a head-to-head contest.

    A NASA engineer by trade, April uses actual rocket science to break world records – tune in to hear Josh & Sam just about manage to keep up with her geekily impressive explanations.

    Plus, we delve into the archives to chat about our favourite Olympic World Records, and Josh reveals what happened next after taking one slurp too many of Pepper X, the world's hottest sauce, in the previous episode. Mild spoiler alert: it involves a petrol station and a very, very wet t-shirt.

    Thanks for listening, and please get in touch with any world record stories you'd like to share with us!

  • Ep5: Smokin' Ed Currie
    Jul 22 2024

    Some like it hot. Some like it burning. Smokin' Ed Currie is one of the latter sort, and hot sauce lovers around the world are eternally grateful.

    Ed is our special guest for Episode 5 of Hardest Bestest Fastest Strongest, and the esteemed grower of Pepper X—the world's hottest chilli pepper. Being the generous South Carolinian he is, Ed sent 3 of his hottest Pepper X sauces for Sam and Josh to try live on air. What could go wrong! (Spoiler alert: one of us is a bona fide "chilli head", the other is not).

    Before that rather abrupt and clammy ending, Ed reveals all about the science, high security and scoville units behind Pepper X, his REAL reaction to eating a whole Pepper X, and one or two pranks and mishaps you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of.

    As per usual, Josh and Sam also discuss what records they've been reading about, from epic crowdsurfing to old-fashioned Hollywood taboos.

    If you love hot sauce, this one's for you!

  • Ep4: Captain Beany
    Jun 12 2024

    This week's guest is not only full of beans, he is often quite literally covered in them. In 1986, Captain Beany clinched the world record for the longest time ever spent immersed in a bath of baked beans – 100 hours, in the name of charity, and a record which, perhaps rather unsurprisingly, still stands today.

    In this episode, we meet the man "beaneath" the beans, hearing all about this legendary record attempt, and how it birthed the cape-wearing, baked bean-obsessed, deed poll-official superhero known as Captain Beany. We recommend that you Google him immediately, and prepare yourself for an unrelenting bombardment of baked bean puns.

    Josh and Sam also dust off a few other retro records from the 1980s in Record Breakers of The Week.

    As ever, if you enjoy this episode please follow and give us a rating. And if this triggers any record-breaking memories of your own, please do write in and tell:
