Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on
0:10
Hi, I'm David Rush, and this is how I broke 52 Guinness World Records titles in 52 weeks
0:18
Kicking it off for the most bars of soap stacked in one minute with neighbor and quarantine mate Jonathan Hollywood-Hannon
0:25
with enough soap to wash out a pandemic. Come on! Two. Another two-person record here
0:35
You had to wait until the previous ball was in the cup before you could let go the next ball
0:41
Three. This was the most juggling catches on a Swiss ball in one minute
0:46
Speed juggling on an unstable object. Stop! Come on! Four. One of the most dangerous ones of the year
0:53
Slicing grapes with a razor-sharp samurai sword on that very unstable Swiss ball
0:59
Come on! Five. I could have gone for longer for this one except at the very end my feet slipped off the size of the Swiss ball
1:07
Come on! No. Six. My wife's first official Guinness World Records title. Putting on t-shirts with a team of two
1:17
Come on! Seven. It was a great Valentine's Day here with my wife's putting on these shirts. Most put on in one minute with a team of two. Eight
1:29
Those glasses are actual glass, and yes, they all did break at the end. Nine
1:43
The attempt actually ended when the board fell off the rocker because they weren't perfectly cylindrical. Ten
1:49
Another one with my wife. You're arranging a chess set. Come on
1:57
Eleven. I set up a chessboard literally hundreds and hundreds of times preparing for this record attempt
2:03
Come on! Twelve. This is painful. It is a pain in the neck
2:08
If you want to get a sense of it, look up for five minutes. And then imagine you doing it for over an hour and a half
2:14
Oh! Seven. Come on! Thirteen. One of the most viral records of the year, slicing fruit with a samurai sword while standing on this super unstable Swiss ball
2:26
Boy, did we eat a lot of kiwis after this was over. Fourteen
2:32
It's slightly easier to stand on a balance board than a Swiss ball, so we even got more here
2:36
And we ended just after the last kiwi we had in the bowls was thrown Fifteen I a juggler and I an expert at catching stuff in my mouth Separating the two actions was way harder than I expected
2:49
so it took more practice than we anticipated to take this one down. Come on
2:54
16, the first time we tried it, we only went about seven minutes, and so we had to try it again to get well over 1,000 catches
3:01
Come on! 17, the most passes of a giant inflatable ball with three minutes
3:06
This was a fun one. Trying to get as fast as possible without crossing the line
3:11
Come on! 18. Balancing a chair on my chin was rather difficult
3:16
Not because the balancing was hard here, but my body was still recovering from a surgery I'd had recently before this one
3:23
Come on. Got a little lockdown going on. 19. Reclaiming this record with friend Mike Beacham
3:30
We caught literally thousands and thousands of discs. We got this one nailed in
3:35
Come on! 20. Same team of five reclaiming this record for the fastest flying disc relay
3:43
21. Dealing with the sun can be a challenge in the midday, but made it all right
3:52
22. This was a fun one with the team. We had to rotate between people because some people were
3:57
ironically not as good at sitting on balloons as others. The final team was excellent
4:02
23 oh my goodness i stacked thousands and thousands of rolls of toilet paper on top of each other
4:11
and to get this one it took days of attempts literally to finally get that 101 rolls to
4:18
balance on my forehead for over 30 seconds come on yeah 24 i had to fix the cork boards to the table so that they didn't pop up when i was moving the thumbtacks
4:31
Stop! Come on! 25. Jonathan and I reclaimed our record for catching table tennis balls and shaving foam
4:39
on the head because I needed not only to hit the head but not the other table tennis balls
4:43
so they'd stick to the shaving foam. Stop! Come on! 26. My wife is a saint for this one. This was a record we had to reclaim and I wrapped
4:57
with clean wrap more times than I'd like care to admit because this one is shockingly difficult
5:06
27. This is the first record I broke with my brother Jonathan Rush
5:12
who is the older and more athletic of the two of us. 28. I love juggling. I'm the blindfolded juggling king here. The trick about this one is actually
5:22
standing on the balance board blindfolded because that is way more disorienting than juggling blindfolded Come on 29 By the end my feet were absolutely aching because you can pick them up
5:37
because you need to have equal amount of weights on both feet the entire time
5:41
35 miles later, this is the longest record I've ever completed. Come on
5:46
30. Hello, world. My son Jeremy finally got big enough to meet the weight qualification to be driven in a pram
5:55
He did fall out of the stroller once on this day but it was completely unrelated to this
6:00
record attempt. Come on! 31. The balloon just does not want to stay on the face while you're moving forward
6:07
I finally came back to it and claimed the record. Come on! 32
6:12
Those little apples, if I miss them out just a little bit, smashes into the lips and blood
6:16
goes all over. Come on! 33. Catching marshmallows in the mouth is a much more pleasant endeavor
6:23
Time. Hurrah! Woo! 34. Jonathan and I already had the 30-second version of this record
6:30
so it was only natural to go after the one-minute version. Stop. Come on
6:35
35. This is going back to my very first Guinness World Records title attempt
6:40
for the longest duration blindfolded juggling, 6 minutes, 34 seconds. Back in 2015, a year later
6:46
I made it 22 minutes, 7 seconds, and now I held the record at 32 minutes, 7 seconds
6:52
Stop. Come on. 36. This one was about technique. Previous holders used the hugging method to create pressure to pop the balloon
7:02
The hip check ended up being much more efficient. Come on. He's in
7:08
37. Lots of practice, closing the eyes when I get hit and getting them open so I can see that next one coming
7:15
Come on. 38. I practiced for months to build up the strength and endurance, and I was bleeding in probably four places by the end of this attempt
7:23
Come on! 39. The hardest record of the year and possibly ever
7:29
The world's fastest man juggling blindfolded. And you have to stay in your lane for the full 100 meters
7:39
Come on! 40. Fastest 100 meter blindfolded. Once I had done it juggling, without juggling, it was a piece of cake
7:48
Come on! 41. Balancing the lawnmower on the chin is challenging enough
7:52
Walking around the track while doing it makes it even harder. Super happy with the result. Almost a kilometer
7:58
Come on! 42. Being in sync with Jonathan is what made this one key I had to anticipate and know exactly when that ball was going to get there so I could catch it Stop Come on 43 Wanted to go even faster for the 30 second version of the record because we had more attempts
8:22
in the same amount of time. Come on. 44. I had to build up strength and endurance over years of practice
8:30
And by the time I finally got over 30 minutes, I was just locked in, in the zone, blocking
8:36
out all the pain. This is a mental exercise as much as a physical one by the time you get to over about 12 minutes. No
8:45
Oh, come on! 45. This was about buying as many tiny dice as possible
8:52
to reclaim yet another record Jonathan and I had held. Look at all those dice
9:02
Come on! 46. Go! These poi are going super fast and when they hit the body it hurts
9:10
I almost broke this record in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy but I messed
9:14
up with about three seconds left in the minute and then the police came and said, are you done
9:19
And it wasn't a question. I got it in Cingatara a day later. Come on! Woo
9:25
Come on! Woo! 47. For being an experienced and expert juggler since I was eight years old, inverting it upside
9:35
down was super hard. Come on! Come on! 48. Reclaiming the record for balancing a chainsaw
9:45
on the chin. Last time I went 10 minutes. This time I went, what
9:49
four times that long? Come on! 49. Balancing a Christmas tree on the chin ended up
9:55
being a little bit more difficult than I expected because the branches block my field
9:59
of vision, and it's a little bit wobbly. 130. Come on! 50. I recruited the neighbor's wife and the neighbor's boy to wrap them up as a Christmas present to take down this record
10:11
Thank you. Stop. Come on. 51. Balancing a chainsaw on the forehead is more complicated than the chin because you can't see the top of the chainsaw
10:25
And so you have to feel it more than you can see it. Come on
10:31
52, the record to wrap up the year and probably the one I was the most scared about
10:40
This running chainsaw bounced on the chin. I feel like I could go a lot longer
10:44
but I didn't even want to try. Come on! I hope you enjoyed
