#548-Vitomir Maričić, The Compressed Air Gravity Theory, and the 2025 Verbie Awards

from Verbal Shenanigans · host Verbal Shenanigans

How long could you survive on a single breath? For most of us, the answer is measured in seconds. For Vitomir Maričić, it’s nearly half an hour. In June 2025, Vitomir shattered the Guinness World Record for the longest voluntary breath-hold, staying submerged for a staggering 29 minutes and 3 seconds. But breath-holding is just one facet of this extreme athlete’s life. From performing 240kg squats underwater to walking over 100 meters on the pool floor in a single breath, Vitomir joins us to discuss his insanely fascinating life from freediving, to teaching, to numerous amazing athletic feats. A fantastic interview. We also dive in the conspiracy of earth losing gravity on August 12th, Mike debates attending an event where a douchebag with dandruff may be punched, and we celebrate the past year by choosing some of our favorite interviews in this year's Verbie Awards have a listen!
