» RecordSetter: Our new homepage

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve continued our recent progress on the site by launching a brand new homepage. More than just a re-design, it’s a complete re-think of how content should be treated and displayed on RecordSetter’s homepage.

The genesis of the new page came from our CTO and…

Moments after setting her first URDB world record for Most Frozen Waffles Stacked In Two Hands, actress Isla Fisher proudly poses with Dan and Corey. Tumblerites, you’re encouraged to try and beat this record.

Thanks to CamLin Productions for this lovely doc on World Record Appreciation Society #20. The event returns to Brooklyn’s Littlefield on Thursday, February 24th, with an enormous lineup to be announced shortly. Viva la humans!

That’s me in the yellow.

I could not be more proud of my wife Emily for not only raising the funds (via Kickstarter) but making and releasing Grand & Lorimer-The book.

She put an unbelievable amount of love and energy into it and the results speak for themselves.

If you’ll be in LA this Thursday, we’re taping a TV pilot for NBC called ‘That’s a Record!’. The stupendous Chris Hardwick is hosting, and our dear pal Jimmy Fallon is on board as a producer. Huzzah! Want to be in the studio audience? Info here.

Dan and Corey representing URDB on, stay cool, The Tyra Show. They documented Ann and Claire Recht (AKA ‘the world’s tallest female twins’) as they set a URDB record for Most Double Handed High-Fives Over A Men’s Volleyball Net By Female Twins In 30 Seconds.

NOTE: Though the net sags, the center of it is the regulation height of a men’s net (7’11 5/8”).

NOTE 2: Dan and Corey are positive Tyra made eyes with them, but this remains unconfirmed.

FWIW, this was taped a couple of months ago

I ride/run across the bridge most days. Looks like they used to have stairs instead of gradual ramps. Wonder when that changed.

A sneak peek of the massive Bloody Mary in-progress we lowered Jimmy Fallon into last night on show. He set a brand-new world record: Largest Bloody Mary Garnished With A Late Night Talk Show Host. Will anyone beat this? Kimmel? Daly? Rose?

See all record clips from the show here.

What are you doing on New Year’s Eve? We’re, um, flying to Perth, Australia to document the World’s Largest Pajama Party.

Will Emily, Nigel and I go too? Not sure yet.

At a special launch party for his new book, Crush It, Gary Vaynerchuk broke the world record for “Most Glasses Clinked in One Minute.” Team URDB were on hand in our yellow jackets to document his extremely impressive feat: 102 clinks. Video to be posted shortly. Thanks to Gary for including us in the night.
