Do you like podcasts?

If so, you’ve probably heard of Tinkercast – the home of amazing podcasts for curious kids like you, who love discovering the kinds of things that make you say… “WOW”!

Tinkercast has lots of different series for you to explore, but our favourite is Two Whats?! and a Wow!, a super-fun, interactive ‘getting to know you’ game show.

In their latest episode, hosted by Tinkercast’s Chief Creative Tinkerer Mindy Thomas, you get to know our very own David Rush – the record-breaking LEGEND who holds over 350 Guinness World Records titles.

During each round of the game show, he shares 3 fun facts about his interesting and unusual life…

But only one is the true WOW!

You can watch the full episode here:

David is definitely one of the most interesting people you’ll ever meet: he comes from Boise, Idaho, USA, he’s a National Park enthusiast, has a knack for guessing the prices in grocery stores, has 3 kids and knows a thing or two about… world records!

The author, speaker and entertainer has smashed hundreds of records by doing all kinds of wild and amazing challenges – from balancing objects on his nose, to juggling, to incredible fitness feats, there is nothing he can’t do! 

He’s even got a website where you can find out everything about his career in record breaking.

So how did it all start?

Well, he started chasing world records to inspire kids to get excited about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). And, through lots of practice and determination, David showed us that big goals are possible when you never give up and keep learning from your mistakes!

So, if you’ve ever wondered what it's like being a Guinness World Records title holder, this Tinkercast episode is for you.

At the end of the episode, David challenges you all to join him on his journey:

“Go out and find a record you can break yourself! And there are ones you can do with your friends as well.

“And GWR recently created a category called the Under-16 category, so if you’re daunted by 'Hey, I don’t want to go against David-record-breaker-Rush', find a record in the Under-16 category, grab a friend, practise it, and try to break it yourself!”

Are you feeling inspired? Check out our full list of records for people under 16, so you don't have to compete unfairly alongside grown-ups like David.

And if that's not for you, check out the episode and you’ll at least learn some cool party tricks, like how to balance a cashew on your nose, flick it up and catch it in your mouth…

Have fun!
