Over the past month, I've watched two YouTube videos where the topic of the ridiculous nature of Guinness World Records (GWR) came up. First, I was a johnny-come-lately to hbomberguy's 2023 video on the history behind the Roblox 'Oof' sound, and the second was the first of two videos by Dan Olson of Folding Ideas about the inefficiency of the second season of Mr. Beast's game show. In the former, suspicion is cast over the legitimacy of Tommy Tallarico's records for video game concerts and video game composing. Meanwhile, Olson, albeit more briefly, questions whether the many records the Beast Games received are an unintentional monument to incompetence in the field of televised game shows. But whereas chasing after Guinness Records is used as a mark against Tallarico and Mr. Beast, I'm interested in the flaws in the awards process itself.

Karekare beach is surrounded by high cliffs which shield my house from television transmissions so that I gain most of my media information from radio and print.
