World Records That Will Never Be Broken
Come see Joe’s live show at Deep Ellum Art Co in Dallas, TX on November 13th, 2026! Get tickets here! https://app.opendate.io/e/answers-with-joe-november-13-2026-778841
The Guinness Book of World Records started out as a fun conversation starter for pubs selling Guinness beer. It has become a worldwide phenomenon that people literally risk their lives get their names into. But there are some records that should maybe stay unbroken. Here’s a list of some of the biggest ones.

Not sure if it counts as a record but I am The World's Greatest Dad and I have the mug to prove it.

I just thought of a record that will never Stand. The record for 'Most Yawn Inducing YouTube Video' will never stand, at least not while Joe is making new content!

Also speaking of Michael Jackson, wasn't it proven just this year that his accuser lied about everything? And completely derailed Michael's life and ruined him? 😮

Once, I held the record for youngest person in the world. I only held it for a few seconds, though.

7:00 I think you underestimate the power of human stupidity when you say that such a disaster will never happen again. Take, for example, Costa Concordia. The captain refused to admit that the ship is sinking for a good half an hour, was coping, and refused to start evacuation. This didn't end in total tragedy because instead of sinking it just touched the bottom and rolled on its side. But if something like that happened in the open ocean, for whatever reason, and you got such a captain, you have a chance to lose a lot of lives.
It's just a matter of the probability of rolling that alignment of unfortunate factors. 😮

You forgot “Jenny Pollard Being Your First Kids At Nine Years Old In The Pietro’s Pizza Game Room”. I’ll always own that one

Well.. with less casualties than Titanic, but I have to mention the Costa Concordia…. So disasters may happen…

Another fun fact with the dolphins. They went 32 – 2 in the 72 and 73 seasons. They won the 72 and 73 Super Bowl.

Here's a couple of unbreakable baseball records
Johnny Vandermeer- two no-hotters in consecutive starts. Heck, it'll probably never be matched! (And broken? That would require three no-nos in a row!)
Also, Joe Dimaggio and 'The Streak' (of 56 consecutive games with a base hit), statistically, should take about 10,000 years of Major League Baseball to be broken. It should not have happened. (Though, there was a slightly longer hit streak in the Pacific Coast League- 61, a record held by… Joe Dimaggio!)
P.S: Supposedly Satchel Paige pitched back to back no hitters several times, even against major league level players- but that wasn't IN the Majors.

I'm not sure just because Guinness Book of Records don't have the category anymore is a good enough reason to say that these records won't be broken. Guinness don't own the rights to records or who gets to attempt them. Although I have heard they try to. I also heard it could cost thousands of dollars to get them to judge attempts, essentially holding records for ransom. Records are there to be broken and Guinness can't stop you from attempting them or braking them. The internet is a thing. Chuck it on YouTube or online somewhere and you good to go.

I don’t know any drunks reading Guinness world book of records, they are usually for kids to read and they typically get them for Christmas : I’m Irish and that’s how I know about the books in the first place

if I was falling into open water, cold deep ocean. and I had a flamethrower or firebending powers or whatever that allowed me to boil an area of water beneath me before I hit it, so that the bubbles soften the impact. would I be burned by the water or would the surrounding cold leech the heat away by the time I hit? how far up would you have to be for that to balance out into a "safe" landing, if it's even possible?
Why do you make me think these things?
Also in college we pronounced Merganser the way you did, as a joke.

I think GTA V will stay as the most sold full priced retail ever. Tetris is ahead across multiple iterations and developers and Minecraft, but that’s a comparatively cheap "indie" game that wasn’t available for retail.
GTA V sits at 225 million units sold and Red Dead 2 which is the next best selling game is at 90. GTA IV sits at 25 million and Cyberpunk 2077 is at 40 million for some other comparison.
Just something timely for next weeks launch

23:20 I have quite a few small speedrun world records (none recognized by Guinness, at least not yet), some tied with others and others completely alone. My silliest one is called “Melatonin% NG+” for Kirby Super Star, in which you make Kirby fall asleep as fast as possible (13.383 seconds).
