>> Tonight, the ultimate
test of strength.
This fighter jet won't leave the
ground, but she will.
Up the nose and out the...
Wait till you see what he does.
And what's making them do that?
Exclusive, never-before-seen.
This is "Guinness World
Records Unleashed."
(cheering and applause)
And now, from the Guinness World
Records Arena in Los Angeles.
The man who holds it all
together, your host...
>> What's up?
>> Dan Cortese.
>> Welcome to "Guinness World
Records Unleashed."
How you feeling?
(cheering and applause)
This is the place where it all
happens, where dreams are made.
Where the impossible
is possible.
Where challengers have come from
across the country for one
reason, and that's to walk out
of here with a Guinness World
Record, how does that sound?
You ready to see this?
I'm ready to see it.
Let's get this party started.
First, to our eyes in the sky,
the incredibly talented and
lovely Guinness World Records
experts, Liz Smith
and Zach Selwyn.
>> Yeah, when I heard talented
and lovely, I was hoping that
meant both of us?
>> Well, in any case,
let's get to it.
A very challenging attempt at
the Guinness World Record for
the most consecutive somersaults
underwater on a single breath.
>> Oh, okay, so that's what that
tank is for.
>> The Guinness World Record was
set back in 2008, 29 somersaults
in one breath.
And it took more than a minute
and 15 seconds.
>> I couldn't do that.
>> No, just imagine exercising
for that long on
a single breath.
>> Doing somersaults
underwater.
>> The attempter must keep the
chin down, knees close to the
chest and use the arms to rotate
the body.
The tighter the tuck,
the faster the turn.
>> Okay, this is gonna be good.
Let's meet this guy who's really
good at taking turns.
>> My name is Lance Davis.
I'm from Los Angeles,
California.
I do a lot of free diving,
a lot of spear fishing.
I dive just off the
coast of L.A.
Well, there's danger involved in
this particular record because
you're spinning around, holding
your breath, you can get dizzy.
I don't wanna hit my head on the
bottom, 'cause that could be
not good.
There's also problems with
holding your breath.
That can be very dangerous
'cause it can lead to shallow
water blackout.
I'm pretty laid back but when
there's a challenge, something
I feel like might be a little
fun, I'll go for it.
Breaking this record would mean
kind of stepping out of my
comfort zone, and it'll be
something really cool maybe to
someday tell my kids
if I have any.
>> All right, let's hear it for
Lance Davis, come on out, Lance.
(cheering and applause)
There's the man.
How you doing, buddy?
Good to see you, welcome.
>> Thank you.
>> Either you're getting ready
to jump into a water tank or you
just left Hugh Hefner's,
I'm not sure.
Would you be more at home if we
had some lobsters just crawling
around down there for you?
>> I think I would love that.
>> Would that be better?
>> I would really love that.
>> You can break the record and
then go...
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> Lunch.
>> Yeah, definitely.
>> All right.
You ready to do this?
>> Oh, I'm ready, yes, sir.
>> Go for a Guinness World
Record, all right, let's bring
in Stuart Claxton.
Come on in, Stuart.
(cheering and applause)
>> Stuart Claxton, the Guinness
World Records adjudicator.
He'll judge all the attempts and
he alone will decide whether a
new Guinness World Record has
been set.
>> And he's gonna do it
while holding his breath.
>> Mr. Davis, you are about to
attempt the Guinness World
Record for the most consecutive
somersaults underwater
on a single breath.
Now the attempt will start as
soon as you are fully submerged
and complete your
first somersault.
But the attempt ends
if any part of your body
breaks the surface of the water.
Okay?
The current Guinness World
Record to break... is 29.
Is everything clear?
>> It is.
>> Let's begin.
>> Good luck, man.
Go get 'em, buddy.
(cheering and applause)
>> Crowd is into it already.
Girls are particularly vocal.
(chuckling)
>> In the tank.
(applause)
Getting acclimated
with the water temperature.
>> Mr. Davis, in your own time,
you may begin.
>> Remember, these somersaults
must be consecutive.
Any wrong move and it's over.
>> He's in.
And he has begun very strong.
Using the arms like he said
he would.
>> Absolutely perfect form.
Chin and legs tucked and his
arms propelling him.
>> Free diver.
Remember, he just kept saying
one thing he's concerned about
is getting dizzy.
It's a large tank but it is not
the ocean.
>> Starting to drift
a little bit to the right side
of the tank.
Don't... hit his head there.
Oh, he's gonna keep going.
Starting to float a bit
to the top.
>> I can't believe he's doing
this on one breath.
>> The key here is holding your
breath until the lungs are
burned and then breathing some
of the oxygen out.
He's getting very close to the
bottom of the tank.
That could end it.
>> Oh, he almost lose it
right there.
>> He's struggling.
>> Back to the middle of the
tank and... he's up.
Let's hear it for him!
(cheering and applause)
>> Lance Davis!
Okay.
Stuart is headed to the monitor,
let's hear it for him, guys.
(cheering and applause)
Incredible thing to see.
Zach and Liz, I mean, it was
almost as if it was in slow
motion, let's slow it down
some more.
>> Slow it down even further.
I mean, it was like watching
a human washing machine right
there, Dan.
>> Yeah, he started right at the
bottom of the tank.
Really made use of your arms.
Great power, great control and
one incredibly long breath.
We timed it at one minute
and five seconds.
Stuart's counting and checking
you didn't touch the bottom or
the sides of the tank.
Actually, we see here, you did
begin to drift and slow down.
>> Well, Stuart has surfaced
from the video review, so let's
find out if Lance has set a new
Guinness World Record.
>> Mr. Davis, you just attempted
the Guinness World Record for
the most consecutive somersaults
underwater on a single breath.
Now the current Guinness World
Record is 29 consecutive
somersaults.
The number of successful
consecutive somersaults
you completed
was 36.
>> Yes!
Congratulations!
New Guinness World Record!
Lance Davis.
Congratulations, buddy.
(cheering and applause)
>> Well done, congrats.
>> Check him for gills, Dan.
>> No, he's good, he's clean.
>> Nice job, man, excellent.
>> I guess I don't have to hold
my breath anymore because I'm
holding a Guinness World Record.
>> Well, check this out.
A little later on, we hope to
feature what's got to be one of
the craziest, most dangerous
attempts ever seen.
Put it this way.
You're gonna be blown away.
Zach and Liz,
what can you tell us?
>> Here's what
I can tell you, Dan.
Absolutely nothing.
Once again, Liz here is holding
all the cards.
>> Well, everyone, I can tell
you that the crew is setting up
outside to test the new
potential Guinness World Record
involving this.
>> A Guinness World Record
jet flight?
>> Not quite, Zach.
But it is an attempt involving
this fighter jet.
One contestant will go against
it and all its power.
Oh, and by the way, the
attempter is a woman.
>> Is that significant?
>> Well, we'll find out when we
check back a little bit later.
>> Hey, you remember when
you were a kid, or in my case an
adult and you were drinking milk
and you laughed so hard that the
milk came flying out
of your nose?
Yeah, well, I do.
But guess what, that's got
nothing on what you're
about to see.
So Zach and Liz, tell us all
about it.
>> Dan, our next attempter takes
milk squirting from the face
to a whole new level.
This is an attempt to break the
Guinness World Record for the
fastest time to ignite five
targets with milk
squirted from the eye.
>> From the nose-- from the eye?
How do you squirt something from
your eye?
This doesn't make any sense.
Is this even possible?
>> Ilker Yilmaz of Turkey set
the Guinness World Record back
in 2008; one minute, 45 seconds
to ignite five cocktail glasses
containing metallic sodium.
Metallic sodium flames up when
you splash it with water
or milk.
>> What a proud moment
for Turkish people everywhere.
(audience laughing)
How do you like load up to get
the milk to come out
of your eye?
>> Guinness World Record
guidelines demand that the milk
has to be sniffed up
through the nose.
(audience groaning)
Theoretically, anyone can do it.
The corner of our eyes have
ducts that allow tears to drain
into the sinus cavity.
That's why we get a runny nose
when we cry.
Eye squirters can reverse
the flow.
They load up with milk, hold the
nostrils closed, and blow.
>> Well, Liz, I'll tell you
what, let's get to the
squirting, huh?
>> Let's do it.
>> Let's meet a guy who you
don't want anywhere
near your cereal.
>> My name is
Brandon Youngblood Kee
and I'm from Madison, Wisconsin.
I learned that I had this
ability to squirt milk out
of my eyes when
I was in middle school.
The first time that I achieved
it, I thought maybe something
might've been wrong with me.
But then, when I kept doing it,
it was awesome.
I don't really think this could
be dangerous to my vision.
However, it could be dangerous
to my ears because the milk from
my nose sometimes travelled to
my ears and it like gets locked
up in there.
I am mildly lactose-intolerant,
but breaking this
Guinness World Record would
mean everything to me.
>> All right, everybody, let's
hear it for Brandon Youngblood
Kee-- come on out, Brandon!
Whoo!
(cheering and applause)
How you doing, my man?
Welcome.
Good to see you,
how you feeling?
>> I'm really stoked, man...
>> You're really stoked?
>> Yeah.
>> Let me, let me... (chuckling)
Let me get this right.
You're lactose-intolerant?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
And what do you think's gonna
happen here?
You gonna break this record?
>> I'm gonna shatter the record.
>> You're gonna shatter
the record?
I say let's get on with
this, people.
All right, let's bring Stuart
out to give us the fine print.
Stuart, come on out here, buddy.
Stuart...
Come on, Stuart.
Come on, closer.
Don't worry, he's not loaded.
Your eyes aren't loaded yet,
are they?
Stuart just doesn't wanna mess
up the blazer, it's very nice.
>> All right, Mr. Kee.
You're about to attempt the
Guinness World Record for the
fastest time to ignite five
targets by squirting milk
from the eye.
Now you will be aiming
at standard cocktail glasses
which you must do from the
distance of at least 16 inches.
The record to beat
is one minute and 44 seconds.
Is everything clear?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Okay, well, if you are ready,
I will count you down.
>> Get into position.
Whoo!
(cheering and applause)
>> How does he aim, anyway?
>> By applying pressure
with the finger.
It takes practice.
>> So Mr. Kee...
three, two, one, go!
>> There he goes, Youngblood.
Takes the first one up the nose.
First shot.
>> Ohh...
>> Where there's smoke there's
fire, okay, he's got number
one down.
Oh, he's found the range.
He's got number two down.
He's got number three down.
Oh, he's going back for more
milk; there we got a little bit.
>> He's stopping to reload.
>> And the clock is ticking.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Can Youngblood reload
in time?
And still ahead.
He'll put himself in the line of
fire in hopes
of a Guinness World Record.
Then, she's about to cross the
line in a way you've never seen.
And later, the biggest, most
powerful challenge yet.

ignite five flammable targets.
>> Oh, he's going back for
more milk.
>> He's stopping to reload.
>> And having some trouble.
>> But he's off again.
>> Here we go, he's going with
the left eye this time.
Oh, there we go.
A little minor explosion.
>> You have to make sure that
the target is ignited.
>> Freaking Tom Cruise cocktail.
His time is up.
He's going for the paper towel.
Are we done, is he done, Stuart?
>> Done.
>> I think Stuart's stunned.
>> I'm stunned.
>> Come down here, let's hear it
for Youngblood.
(cheering and applause)
Whoo!
That was fan-- that was fant--
How are you feeling right now?
Feeling okay?
>> Feeling like
I think I made it.
>> Zach and Liz, thoughts,
what do you think?
>> First of all,
is my eye twitching?
>> My eyes actually started
watering throughout the whole
time, it was like sympathy pain.
Notice that aim.
It's not just milk pouring out.
He's actually aiming it towards
the glass.
And that's really important and
a massive time-saver.
>> All right, Mr. Kee.
You just attempted the Guinness
World Record for the fastest
time to ignite five targets by
squirting milk from the eye.
The time to beat was one minute
and 44 seconds.
The record to beat now is
34.94 seconds.
>> Whoo!
You said you were gonna
shatter it.
You shattered it,
congratulations.
(cheering and applause)
New Guinness World Record right
here, ladies and gentlemen.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Get your trophy over there.
(cheering and applause)
>> My name is Youngblood and
I just shattered this Guinness
World Record and it
feels amazing.
I can't wait to do another one.
>> Hit me with your best shot.
Rather, hit him with
your best shot.
Now our next attempter is daring
someone to do just that.
But there is a catch.
Zach and Liz, tell us
what it is.
>> You mentioned shots?
I'll do some tequila shots, Dan,
let's do this!
>> No, boys, we are...
Unfortunately, we're not
talking tequila, but we are
talking paintballs.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah, the Guinness World
Record for the most paintballs
caught in two minutes.
This time it's gonna take two
people, a shooter and a catcher.
And the paintballs must be fired
at the speed of at least
200 feet per second.
>> About 40 miles an hour.
>> That's 136.4 miles per hour.
>> Mathlete.
>> The paintballs must
remain intact.
The key to this attempt is a
combination of keen eyesight
and hearing.
>> Yeah, in a pain threshold,
that's off the charts.
Have you ever been hit
with a paintball?
>> No.
>> It hurts.
>> The Guinness World Record
currently stands at 28
paintballs caught in two
minutes.
>> That's a lot of paintballs,
people, that's a lot of
endurance.
All right, ladies, get ready,
'cause this one's a real catch.
>> I'm Lars Hindsley.
>> And I'm P.J. Taaffe.
>> And we're from
Newark, Delaware.
>> I work in paint and
processing.
I'm also an author.
>> I work in freelance
construction.
>> Without him,
I wouldn't be able to do this.
>> I'm just the shooter, so it's
up to you, man.
>> We're both so humble.
I've learned that to really
take getting hit with
paintballs, they find whatever
gap there is and usually
it's um... somewhere around the
cookies.
>> Tender spot.
>> Yes.
>> All right, let's hear it for
Lars Hindsley and P.J. Taaffe.
Come on out, fellas.
Here they come,
ready for battle.
(cheering and applause)
Hello, man, good to see you.
Good to see you.
Welcome.
You look ready to go.
And do you have a specific
technique?
>> Try to squash it and not let
it hit the fingers because when
you hit the fingers, it's like
putting your fingers in a car
door and slamming it.
(audience groaning)
>> You guys seem ready.
You ready to go?
Ready to win a Guinness World
Record?
Good luck, let's bring out
Stuart Claxton, where's Stuart?
>> Stuart.
>> Okay, Mr. Hindsley?
>> Yes.
>> Mr. Taaffe?
>> Yes.
>> Okay, you're about to attempt
the Guinness World Record for
the most paintballs caught in
two minutes.
Only paintballs that are
undamaged after each catch will
count towards your final total.
And the Guinness World Record to
beat is 28 paintballs
in two minutes.
Everything pretty clear?
>> Crystal.
>> All right, well, if you are
ready, gentlemen, we can begin
the attempt.
>> Good luck, guys.
Good luck.
>> Liz, why do the EMTs always
look so excited for events
like this?
>> They're not excited, they're
alert and they definitely
could be needed.
>> Okay, gentlemen,
are you ready?
Okay, I will start the clock on
the first shot.
So you may begin.

>> Oh, he caught two
right out of the box.
>> Dropping them on the floor.
>> Really rapid fire right now.
>> Oh, he missed, you see it hit
the back of the post
right there.
>> Caught that one.
>> He's not grabbing them
out of the air.
He's using his hand
as a backstop.
That's softer than the gloves
but it's got to be painful.
>> He's rifling these
things off.
Almost like the stance of
a hockey goalie.
One in the groin
right there.
>> Oh, he got one in the "Eee."
>> He wants it higher.
Showing him where he wants it.
There he goes.
Ooh, that one hit him
in the leg.
Ooh, this guy's being
splattered right now.
>> Yes, you can tell some of
those shots hurt.
>> 30 seconds.
>> 30 seconds to go.
>> I'm gonna protect myself.
>> We are definitely going to
need slo-mo.
The only paintballs that count
are the ones that don't break.
>> Ten seconds.
>> Ten seconds to go.
How many more can he get?
>> Unloading the paintball gun.
(cheering and applause)
>> Time's up!
Let's hear it for these guys.
(cheering and applause)
Listen, catch your breath.
Zach and Liz, you got any of
that in slo-mo for us?
What do you got?
>> Yeah, we got a lot and
slo-mo's the only way to go
with this.
>> I know it.
Tell you what, the one thing
that was so impressive about
that attempt was that you just
put yourself in the line of
fire; You took any hit that came
towards you, and there were many
hits, straight to your abdomen.
And the technique may have
paid off.
We can see there were many
catches, but also quite a mess.
Stuart's already collected
undamaged paintballs from
the floor.
Now he's really taking his time
to see how many
were actually caught.
As you can see here, we've
really got to slow that video
down to find the paintballs that
didn't explode.
>> Well, it looks like Stuart's
finished counting
and has the results.
>> Mr. Hindsley, Mr. Taaffe.
You just attempted the
Guinness World Record for the
most paintballs caught in
two minutes.
Unfortunately, as you yourselves
saw, a number of the pellets
were damaged in the process.
>> Did they catch enough for
a Guinness World Record?
Also on the way.
You won't be surprised by this
woman's special talent.
You'll be shocked.
Then, whatever could be the
problem here?
And later, it all comes down to
the biggest, most high-flying
challenge yet.

catching paintballs, ow.
>> Lars faced a fusillade from
his good friend P.J. Taaffe.
>> And now they're both
facing Stuart.
>> So...
The Guinness World Record to
break stood at 28 paintballs

The number of paintballs
you successfully caught...

But a very good effort
nonetheless.
Good effort.
Great job.
>> I'm proud of what we did.

You should be proud, 21?

beat that it was an incredible
try, so good on you.
>> Good on ya!

>> If I get this chance again,
when we come back, I will set

We will not only set it,
we'll blow it away.
>> We're moving toward one of
the most dangerous stunts these
Guinness World Records people
have come up against.
At least that's what they
tell me.
A woman versus a jet engine.
But how?
>> Well, before we get into the
specifics, let's meet our
attempter.
>> My name is Brittany Spearin,
and I am from Marlborough,
Massachusetts.
I teach fifth grade math and
science.
I like to live life on the edge
and just try to get the most out
of my experiences.
Growing up, I never played
any sports.
In college, I began
weightlifting and that's my
athletic background.
I'm very competitive
individually and I think that's
why this'll be fun for me today
too.
My family thinks that it's
ridiculous, crazy, dangerous.
That I could get hurt,
possibly die.
I have not once thought about
not doing this.
>> A schoolteacher?
>> And a brave one.
She'll get her chance soon.
>> At what?
>> Ahh, you might not
believe it... Dan?
>> You know, some Guinness World
Records involve getting from
here to there.
But on "Guinness World Records
Unleashed," it's all about
how you get there.
Now I bet you have never seen
anyone get from here to there
the way our next attempter plans
to get from here to the--
Zach, Liz, tell us how she's
gonna do this.
>> It's neither here nor there,
Dan.
What are you talking about?
>> I have no idea.
>> I have no idea what's
happening.
Liz, this is your job,
take over.
>> Yeah, well, this is one of
the most unusual and
athletically challenging
attempts in the whole of the
Guinness World Records book.
The fastest ten meters
in the box split position.
>> What is the box split
position?
>> The box split, it's a split
in which the legs are extended
so the left and right of the
torso with the hips square on
creating 180 degree position.
Dancers and gymnasts and
flexible people are trained
to do this.
>> Every man out there right now
is just sort of punching their
legs going, ooh...
I see it, I see it on that guy's
face right there.
>> Yeah.
It is very difficult to judge
the attempt, because the
attempter cannot relax that
hyperflexible position by more
than 15 degrees at any time.
The Guinness World Record stands
at 16.9 seconds.
>> Wow, that's pretty quick.
We better meet this woman before
she splits.
>> My name is Nicole Winter and
I'm from Delray Beach, Florida.
I was a ballet dancer from the
time I was a little kid.
And about six years ago,
I discovered that I was
freakishly flexible.
What I do for the 10-meter box
splits, I describe it like an
octopus.
My family and friends are so
excited to watch me
attempt this.
They've always said I've been
the freak of the family so this
kind of just goes along with it.
>> All right, everybody, let's
hear it for Nicole Winter.
Come on out, Nicole.
(cheering and applause)
Hi, sweetie.
>> Hi.
>> You're looking good, you're
dressed and ready to go.
>> Thank you, I am.
>> And where do you do this?
Curious, when do you train?
>> I usually just train in my
living room at home.
>> And what does your family
think about that?
>> Uh, they think it's pretty
weird, I'd say, right, Mom?
>> Yeah.
>> It's a little weird.
None of 'em train with you?
>> No, no one likes to train
with me too much.
No one likes to go to the gym
with me, either.
>> Okay, all right, well, let me
ask you this?
They may think you're weird now
but if you go home with a
Guinness World Record, I don't
think they're gonna think you're
weird, do you?
>> I don't think so.
>> You ready to go for that
record?
>> Yeah.
>> All right, let's bring out
Stuart, come on out, Stuart.
>> Stuart.
>> Okay, what are the dangers
here?
>> Anytime your body's lifted
off the ground and moving,
there's a real risk of damage to
the back and to the torso.
>> Right, back and torso.
Obviously those are my concerns
as well.
>> Stuart is very limber.
>> Miss Winter.
>> Yes.
>> You are about to attempt the
Guinness World Record for the
fastest ten meters in the box
split position.
The Guinness World Record to
beat is 16.9 seconds.
Are you ready?
>> I'm ready.
>> All right.
(cheering and applause)
Dan?
>> Yes.
>> Now for the purposes of
judging this record more
precisely, I do require the
services on stage of a lady
who I've been told has extensive
experience of the box split
position.
>> Oh, really?
>> Liz Smith.
>> Oh, Liz Smith, she's coming
down from behind the desk?
(cheering and applause)
Liz is coming down from behind
the desk?
>> She is, Dan.

>> Good luck.
Hi Liz, welcome.
>> Hi, it's nice to be
down here.
>> Okay, Miss Winter,
are you ready?
Three, two, one, go.
>> Go Nicole.

turning forward completely.
Liz right by her side.
This is gonna be
too close to call.
Getting her arms in on the
movement here as well.
>> Fatigue factor starting to
set in.
>> This has gotta be the
happiest attempter we've seen.
Look at that smile.
>> So close.
Nine meters.
Ten meters, here comes Nicole,
she finishes.

>> Wow, I got a very close look
and she gets off to a very
fast start.
I was watching to make sure that
she maintains that hyperflexible
box split position
throughout and she did,
but she slowed considerably
towards the eight meter mark.

clock, let's see how she did.
>> Okay, Miss Winter.
You just attempted the Guinness
World Record for the fastest ten
meters in the box split
position.
Now Liz has confirmed that you
did maintain hyperflexibility
and that the position did not
decrease by more than 15
degrees.
Now the Guinness World Record to
beat was 16.9 seconds.
Miss Winter, you covered
10 meters in the box split
position...
in a time of...
>> Will it be a split decision?
And coming up, find out what's
behind these sourpusses.
And later, this schoolteacher
takes flight for a Guinness
World Record that's never
been dared... ever!

>> Back at the Guinness World
Records Arena and I'm still
getting over something I've
never seen before...
that.
>> Nicole Winter is going for
the Guinness World Record for
the fastest ten meters in the
box split position.
>> And Stuart has the results.
>> Now the Guinness World Record
to beat was 16.9 seconds.
Miss Winter, you covered
10 meters in the box split
position...
in a time of...
26.6.
>> Ohh.
>> But a good effort
nonetheless.
Congratulations, well done.
>> You know what, you did a
fantastic job.
>> Thank you.
>> Zach, Liz, what do you
guys think?
>> I can't believe no one wants
to go to the gym with you.
>> Nicole, that was so, so
impressive.
A rate of 2.6 seconds per meter
is still an incredible effort,
so well done, you're a very
talented lady.
>> I didn't get the Guinness
World Record and... sucks, but
you know what?
I can totally come back and
I know I can get it next time.
>> That was nuts.
I mean, can like anything become
a Guinness World Record?
>> Well, actually no, Zach.
We at Guinness World Records
turn down many more proposals
than we accept.
This for instance.
>> Oh, yeah, I've seen that
before.
>> Many people have proposed
most consecutive plastic cups
flipped on the lower back.
>> That's Guinness World
Records material.
>> Not quite.
This would be rejected.
The issue here is setting a
worldwide standard.
Never mind the variety in cups
from one country to the next.
The real problem, the parts of
the body used for the attempt.
The buttocks, going to the back,
which goes into the shoulder.
These would be different on each
and every challenger.
>> But what about the skill?
>> I don't think the skill is
really why you're so interested,
is it, Zach?
>> Well, let's go outside the
Guinness World Records Arena
where another potential Guinness
World Record is being tested.
Liz, what is it, give it up.
>> It's the Guinness World
Record for the longest time in
the stream of a jet engine.
>> Whoa...
>> Schoolteacher
Brittany Spearin is gonna get
blasted by a jet engine?
>> Full throttle.
>> What's the crew doing messing
around here?
Let's get to this.
>> Actually, they're working.
This is a new
Guinness World Record.
So the volunteers are testing
the engine thrust to determine
what a human can withstand.
And our attempter, Brittany
Spearin, will be much closer
than he is.
>> Let's do it.
>> In a matter of minutes.
>> You know, everybody knows the
saying when life gives you
lemons make lemonade, right?
Sure, everybody knows that.
But guess what?
When life gives you lemon juice,
you might as well go for
a Guinness World Record.
Zach and Liz, am I right?
>> You are correct, Dan, and all
I know about this attempt is
it's gonna leave a very sour
taste in my mouth, Liz.
>> And our attempters
as well, Zach.
It's the Guinness World Record
for the fastest time to drink
one liter of lemon juice
through a straw.
>> That's easy, all you need to
do is add a little salt,
some triple sec, a little
tequila, you know what I mean?
Get a glass, some ice?
(cheering and applause)
Some Jimmy Buffett going on.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> This is far from a margarita,
Zach.
Guinness World Record guidelines
demand that we use pure lemon
juice that's not from
concentrate.
>> Okay, so what's the
difference?
>> Well, I'm glad that you
asked, Zach.
This one is from concentrate.
>> Okay.
This one is pure sour acidic
lemon juice.
>> This is straight out
of a lemon.
>> Yup.
>> No problem.
>> Mine's lemonade.
>> Oh God!
Ohh...
>> How is that for you?
>> That's not good.
Someone's actually gonna
drink this?
>> Three people.
Three people are attempting the
Guinness World Record.
>> All right, let's welcome our
next attempters:
Michael, Devin and Vanna.
Come on out, you guys!
(cheering and applause)
Have a seat, please.
Whoo!
How you guys doing?
>> Good.
>> Feeling okay?
>> Yeah.
>> Michael, I'm gonna start with
you down there.
You're from Jersey.
>> Yes.
>> Do you drink a lot of lemon
juice in Jersey?
>> Uh, I eat a lot of lemons,
I don't drink...
>> You eat a lot of lemons,
you just eat 'em straight?
>> I eat 'em straight, I eat the
rinds and all.
(audience groaning)
>> Good luck, Devin.
How are you prepared for this?
>> I am a natural sour tooth.
Some people have a sweet tooth,
they like eating sweet foods.
I like sour foods.
>> Okay, all right, good luck,
good luck.
And Vanna, Vanna Banana,
is this true?
Is this your nickname?
>> Uh, yes, I think it just--
it rhymes, it's simple.
>> It's not the right fruit but
it's the right color,
you're good to go.
Now you're up against two guys.
What do you think?
You gonna take 'em down?
>> I'm taking 'em down.
>> It's not even gonna be close.
That's what I like to hear.
Let's bring out Stuart Claxton,
come on, Stuart.
Stuart.
Do your thing, buddy.
>> Right, Mr. Smith,
Mr. Jenkins, Miss Bell.
You're about to attempt the
Guinness World Record for the
fastest time to drink one liter
of lemon juice through a straw.
Now each bottle must be consumed
individually.
And the clock will stop only
when you've shown me that your
mouth is empty.
The time to beat is one minute.
>> Okay.
One minute, you guys can do
this, only one minute,
you're done.
>> Just one last thing then.
Even though you may have the
urge to, you must not
regurgitate any liquid for at
least one minute after the
attempt is over.
>> Buckets in case they need
to spew.
Clear buckets.
Thanks for that, props guy.
>> Okay, if you are ready,
I will count you down.
Three, two, one, go.
>> Go, here we go.
Michael's the first one out
there, right there.
He's just powering back.
(cheering)
One down for Michael.
>> Michael seems to have
super-human tolerance.
I can't say the same for Vanna.
>> Devin's got one down.
Michael's starting to hurt
right now.
Oh, God, my eyes are already
watering, I can't even look
at this.
>> Vanna's starting with the
second bottle right now.
Devin's down with number two!
Look at Devin.
He's looking over at Michael.
Michael trying to move on.
Third bottle, he had a little
trouble there.
>> The lemon juice is packed
with every single little taste
bud as it goes down onto the
tongue.
>> Michael's starting to
hurt right now.
Vanna getting through the
second one.
>> That is not looking like it's
gonna end well.
>> Vanna trying to hold it back.
>> Oh, stand back for Vanna
Banana, she's gonna blow.
(moaning)
>> Can Vanna hold her juice?
And still to come, girl power
versus the power
of a jet engine.

(cheering and applause)
>> Three attempters going for
a Guinness World Record for
drinking pure lemon juice
through a straw.
>> The fastest time to drink
one liter.
>> And Vanna Banana is about to
lose it.
But she holds on.
>> Michael powering it back.
Devin powering it back right to
the finish line.
This is gonna be a photo finish.
>> Got one done?
Devin's done.
>> Now they have one minute
where they're not allowed to
regurgitate anything.
>> That's right.
>> Vanna trying to power
through.
(slurping)
>> Oh, yeah, she's in trouble.
>> She's throwing in the towel.
>> And throwing up in the
bucket, oh.
>> Both gentlemen are clear.
Okay, let's hear it for these
guys, come on.
(cheering and applause)
Okay, great job, everybody's
done.
Stuart's gonna go back and
double-check the times and, uh,
Zach, Liz, why don't you make
some funny faces in slo-mo
for us.
>> Sure, we can do that.
I just wanna say I'm so glad I'm
not in any of your stomachs
right now.
Especially Vanna's.
>> You can see the absolute
intense-- I don't know whether
it's pain or just the sourness
is building up on your fac.
Michael started out with super
human tolerance to that.
He did really, really well.
And Devin was very, very
consistent.
The same, unfortunately, could
not be said for Vanna.
Her face said it all, and
actually, it still does.
I hope you're all right.
>> All right, let's see what
gold old lemony Claxton has
to say.
>> Right, folks, you just
attempted the Guinness World
Record for the fastest time to
drink one liter of lemon juice
through a straw.
The time to beat is one minute.
Unfortunately, Miss Bell, you
are disqualified from the
final results.
But good effort.
>> Great job, anyway, though.
(applause)
>> Now, Mr. Smith, you've
recorded a time
of one minute and five seconds.
Mr. Jenkins, you've recorded
a time...
of 54.1 seconds.
>> Yeah! We got a new Guinness
World Record!
54 seconds.
Michael, come down here.
Come down here, you don't get
the girl, you get the trophy.
Take 'em both.
Congratulations.
How you feeling right now?
Take that.
>> I feel amazing.
I'm filling this with
lemon juice!
>> Yeah!
>> Whoo!
Man, I just went in there and
I did my thing, it paid off and
now I've got
a Guinness World Record.
>> All right, finally the time
has come.
I can't take the suspense
any longer.
>> It's the Guinness World
Record for the longest duration
in a jet engine stream.
Thousands of pounds of thrust,
enough to send a human being
flying like a rag doll.
>> Let's head outside.
>> You're a fifth grade teacher.
This probably shouldn't scare
you at all, right.
>> I'll do anything.
>> This is nothing.
>> Absolutely.
(cheering and applause)
>> Let's go for a Guinness World
Record.
Stuart's gonna give you the
official rules right now.
Stuart, please, go ahead.
>> Thank you, Dan.
Okay, Miss Spearin.
You are about to attempt the
Guinness World Record for the
longest time to resist a jet
engine.
Now once you are ready and in
position, the time will start on
my signal at which point,
the pilot will put the jet
engine to full thrust.
You must only hold onto the bar,
of course, with your hands,
and the attempt is over as soon
as you let go.
To achieve the Guinness World
Record title,
you must hold onto the bar for
at least 15 seconds.
Everything clear?
>> Yes.
>> Well, if you're ready,
let's begin the attempt.
>> All right, good luck,
Brittany.
>> Thank you.
>> Hang on there, kid.
>> Intense heat.
Up to 16,000 pounds of thrust.
>> This is absolutely nuts.
>> Brittany's ready.
>> Three, two, one, go!

>> We're outside the Guinness
World Records Arena where
Brittany Spearin is about to be

tried before.
>> For good reason.
>> Three, two, one, go!
(engines whooshing loudly)
>> She's slipping.
(cheering and applause)
>> 16,000 pounds of thrust
blasting into Brittany's face.
>> Now I know what they mean by
holding on for dear life.
>> Here you see her face shield
blown away.
That made the heat all the more

The heat was the deciding
factor.

display of strength.
I'm glad you're okay.
Stuart, do we have a new
Guinness World Record?
Talk to me.

You just attempted the Guinness
World Record for the longest

You had to hold on for at least

You held on for one minute and
25 seconds.

congratulations.
You got a trophy over there,
too, turn around.
You get all the good stuff.

And I'm never gonna complain
about flying coach again.
