Talking Shit About Nothing | Episode 42: The Corn Challenge, We’re Coming for the World Record

from LexMedia Podcasts · host LexMedia Podcasts

Jimmy and Richie set their sights on an unlikely target: the Guinness World Record for shucking corn. After discovering that four people once shucked 38 ears in 60 seconds, Jimmy is convinced they can absolutely destroy the record—and he’s willing to prove it. The guys debate corn-shucking technique, challenge each other to timed trials, talk trash about the current record holders, and even call out a mysterious Maine corn-shucking legend. Jimmy quickly turns a ridiculous conversation into a full-blown mission involving practice, witnesses, cameras, Guinness, and possibly a live event. There’s also plenty of completely unhinged corn talk, including the best—and worst—ways people cook corn, a woman allegedly cooking corn in her jacuzzi, and the crew's memories of shucking corn professionally. It’s Talking Shit About Nothing at its finest: a ridiculous idea that somehow becomes a very serious competition. Corn Challenge 2026 is officially on.
