The Guiness Book of World Records to be precise. And buried in their 53,000 world records on file are some weird ones. Today, we're talking about three of those, including the world's loudest burp, the world's longest fingernails, and the world's largest collection of a very random item.Have any leads on some even weirder world records?

(& the Most Suspicious Draft Lotteries in NBA History)Is the NBA Draft Lottery rigged? If not, how do you explain Derrick Rose to Chicago with a 1.7% chance? Or Anthony Davis to New Orleans? Or of course, Cooper Flagg (potentially) to the Dallas Mavericks with a 1.8% chance – shortly after trading Luka? Feels a little too good to be true, no?The NBA Draft Lottery has been a suspect of alleged rigging since it was introduced in 1985. That was the year of another convenient storyline, where Patrick Ewing wound up on the New York Knicks. In fact, there's even a widespread conspiracy theory about th...2025-06-2224 minLogan Learns with Logan KegleyA Brief History of PizzaSure, everyone loves pizza... but do you know where it actually came from?

What would that feel like? Obviously, it wouldn't feel great – but I promise that the physical and mental effects of extreme sleep deprivation are way worse than you think.... and we have a few real life examples to thank for that. Shout out Randy Gardner and Norme from Twitch.In this episode, we're breaking down the play-by-play of what 7 days without sleep would do to your body – physically and mentally.

I mean, today it's practically a household name. But it has been over 12,000 years since Atlantis supposedly existed, and we've still made virtually zero progress towards finding the location of the lost underwater empire... right? Well, that depends on who you talk to. Beacause if you buy into some of the crazier theories out there, we could be sitting on a goldmine of Atlantis evidence just waiting to be uncovered... in the Sahara Desert or Antarctica of all places. I know, it sounds crazy – but that's what this sh...2025-05-2827 minLogan Learns with Logan KegleySecrets of the Deep Sea: What’s Really at the Bottom of the Ocean?Crazy alien fish, valuable resources, and lost civilizations.

So based on the little information that we have... what's really lurking at the bottom of the ocean? And why is it so damn difficult to explore?

I know, it sounds crazy, but for Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja of Spain, it was reality for 11 years.

But as you can imagine, adjusting back into the real world after over a decade in the wilderness wasn't so easy.

Alien??We all know that octopuses are straight up weird, but could they actually be from outer space? According to a group of scientists, the answer could very likely be YES. Sure, it sounds weird and all, but once you start to look into the theory it does actually start to make sense. I mean, where else can you find a creature with three hearts, more intelligence than a toddler, and the ability to camouflage itself in a matter of seconds? Sounds pretty alien to me.

Forrest Gump without Tom Hanks? The Lord of the Rings without Viggo Mortensen? Believe it or not – none of those actors were considered the first choice for their roles (Viggo wasn't even the third choice!!). As a huge movie fan, and an official entrant of my high school's annual film festival (nbd), this kind of stuff has always fascinated me. So I did some digging, and found ten examples of iconic film roles that almost went to other actors.
