World Records Even Doctors Can&#39;t Explain

growing up I loved reading the Guinness Book of World Records and over the years they verified some incredible physical Feats which I'm about to react to most Knuckles cracked in 30 seconds I feel like this is my morning routine right here caught on camera Dr Mike's morning routine I feel like I could beat this one oh cramp in the in the hamstring cramp in the hamstr [Music] vocal cords are obviously what give you the ability to speak and produce sound the larynx is a muscle by being able to control that muscle whether you're stretching it out you shortening it you actually change your ability to control your pitch and just like any other muscle this muscle can be trained that's why we have local coaches see how low you can get was that low I heard nothing it was totally silent exactly it was that low what do we got here is this an age related one wow 116 as of March is this person still alive s yes she is still alive wow so 2 years older 3 years older basically oh birthday's coming up so going to be uh a solid 119 in a few days happy early birthday Kane Tanaka you think she knows yep there you go she goes I don't know what this is my name is Nicholas James stal and I have the longest tongue recorded history wow I think one of the most useful things that my tongue offers is actually not having to use a napkin must be popular with his Partners I use my tongue actually uh to create you could call it art I sort of like to paint on canvas using acrylic everyone's got their thing he paints with his tongue that's very long that's the longest tongue in the world I'm sure other people will be doing other things with that tongue but maybe it wasn't safe for Guinness World Records to investigate further what the longest time in an abdominal plank position okay here we're talking isometric contraction we're literally not shortening not lengthening the fibers but keeping them tight and engaged the entire time before you keep watching what's your prediction for the longest plank I'm going to say something wild 5 hours in February 2020 George Hood planked for Nostalgia 8 hours 15 minutes catheter in place no way they put a catheter in so he could pee enter Daniel scaly 3 hours in and he's keeping good form part of like the thing of keeping a plank is having really strong shoulders in addition to a strong core and the core is not just your abdominal muscle it's your obliques it's your posterior erecti spine a muscles 5 hours 6s the 7 hour mark came my body started to turn on me a little bit I can't even do anything for seven hours straight without taking a break and my guy's planking I started to actually vomit on myself he vomited while doing it look at this guy he didn't even need a catheter he vomited while doing it coming out of it has got to be brutal too stop stop the video we we need to give him a group Round of Applause that like is so hard my train like 90 seconds Mike I'm like 90 come on 60 St 75 this guy n Plus hours I have the biggest mouth in the world largest gape I've never heard it referred to as a gape wow that is that is an open mouth how many McDonald cheeseburgers can Isaac fit in his mouth do I want to know the answer to that question he's wearing a patriot shirt I wonder if he has some LAX City in his TMJ area or is just anatomically this is a normal variation I am the Guinness World Record holder for the most cans stuck to a human head what the most drink cans placed on the head using air suction I'm fascinated if a patient came to me and said can stick to my head I would be at a loss I would have know should I refer should I write a case report up like this is very unique went to a doctor I walked in with a can of peanuts and was stuck to the side of my head and he goes how do you do that I go that's what I'm here for I want to find out how I do it so he did a couple of things and uh that's when he told me he thinks my skin pores suck in oxygen and makes things stick to me and that I'm literally like one of four in the world that he knows of what that is the coolest thing I wonder if there's any medical negatives from this full can of peanuts I just hold on is it this got to be a prank this is real what's the condition his body temperature is 100° F which causes skin pores to act like suction cups kon's wounds heal faster he gets sick less and ages slower than most sticky Skin Syndrome longest duration restraining four motorcycles no this looks like a medieval torture device go just imagine if this goes wrong and the gentleman loses an arm don't do this at home don't do this at work there is no reason to do this can you imagine that guy walking into a bar hey babe what's up you know what I did last night I tied up motorcycles to all of my limbs and let them pull me apart and they couldn't do it for 24 seconds how you doing I feel like you could literally make anything a record if you really want it to be a record yo tell them I did this eight times no one knows what's the record look at that I just said the record most consecutive muscle yo oh man muscle ups are so hard tricep lat bicep strength forearm strength grip so much is happening and good form too excellent form wow 26 is the record I feel like I've seen some dudes in Central Park that could probably beat this there's also some gymnast that I feel like that might be able to beat that longest duration full body contact with ice that already sounds painful the real danger with ice when it is making full body contact is that it could actually burn your skin that's why when I tell you put some ice on your injured shoulder or knee I always say put something in between because I don't want you to burn your skin you could literally develop frost bite and this person's just chilling he beat the previous record of 2 hours 35 minutes how much further can he go his heart rate is probably so low the reason you see him shivering there is he's trying to warm up about 3 hours 28 seconds I love that it's sponsored by these Brands like who's doing that wo his ear temperature is 33 that's really low so he's hypothermic I'm Kathy young and I am currently in the Guinness book for the smallest waste on a living person this is very not recommended and unhealthy a few things happen when you wear a waist trainer like that one you start actually weakening your core muscle because you're not allowing them to expand properly and function properly second you're also cramming your your intestines from properly performing paralysis which is that Movement of food throughout your body then you're also affecting your breathing because in order to breathe your ribs need to expand properly and your diaphragm needs to lower that's why we talk about belly breathing so when you shallow breathe like that you actually lose a part of your lungs through through a condition known as atelectasis but also it's shortlived if you stop wearing the corsets it'll return back to normal and thank God for that the human body wants to return back to normal suan Ken 81 246 and 12 CM confirmed as the Guinness's world's tallest man wow he has a pituitary tumor secreting a hormone called growth hormone the pituitary gland is sometimes known as like the master gland cuz it secretes some of the most important hormones that actually end up regulating sometimes other hormones sometimes you can have a tumor grow in the pituitary gland which is actually not cancerous but it is one that produces more of a certain hormone also melanocytes which secrete melanin the cells uh that give your skin pigment actually are controlled by melanocyte stimulating hormone which is also found in your pituitary gland how tall are you 24 in 24 in 2 ft how was it to hear in American Horror Story oh that's cool that's a great way to turn something unique that's happened to you into a strength into an asset a good example of post-traumatic growth there okay what are we about to do most consecutive stairs climbed while balancing a person on the head who set this record in the first place wow I have trouble doing a handstand these guys are headstanding upsteps well deserved and look at the beautiful location this should be a double award most beautiful backdrop for consecutive stairs climbed with the person on the head I wonder how long they practice for oh my God can you imagine if they mess up you fall down all those steps worst fear what is this a contest for Albert Einstein look alikes oh are these like hyper smellers it's like hyperia or something it's really true though there are some people who are considered super smellers in fact we did a whole special episode tailored to an individual who was a super smeller and can actually smell Parkinson's on certain patients including her own husband remember the sense of smell is a chemical receptor it's when a chemical binds to the olfactory epithelium within your nose and it starts sending nerve signals to your brain in order for you to understand what that chemical is the longest nose on a living person belongs to this person just because his nose is long doesn't mean that's why he has such a great sense of smell remember this is a neurological phenomenon that's happening but I will say you can have disturbances in your Anatomy the AL Factory Clift can be bigger or smaller in some people or blocked off in others where it could decide whether or not you have a strong sense of smell the olfactory region in dogs in comparison to humans is so much better like 40,000 times better click here for a doctor day in the LIF log I literally go see a dermatologist to get my eye injected that's right I know it doesn't make a lot of sense so click here to watch it cool day day in the life of a doctor click here as
