About this episode
Dave and Fionnuala discuss their experience attempting Guinness World Records, including a record-breaking recitation of a song.
What a day in Caroll’s Bar, Galway. Dave and Marty look back on the absolute fever dream that was “Drive for 5” - five Guinness World Record attempts in one afternoon, and they came home with two titles (which is seriously not bad going). You’ll hear the moment Fionnuala nails the big one: fastest time to recite the first verse of Marty Mone’s “Hit The Diff” - a blistering 7.45 seconds, with Guinness adjudicator Prav making sure every single word was spot on. And then it gets even better: Marty Mone joins the chat, reacts to the record, and teases the idea of a ridiculously fast “Hit The Diff” remix… with jivers needed.
