Sometimes you set out to break one record… and end up breaking two. That’s exactly what happened when I teamed up with juggling and YouTube legend Josh Horton and his crew at his high-energy studio just outside LA.
Most Baked Bean Eaten with a Toothpick World Record Team of 4

Josh is a 12-time world champion juggler, a master of ridiculous challenges, and the kind of guy who can make anything look fun on camera. His studio is like a carnival for creativity — bright lights, props everywhere, and an energy level that makes you want to push the limits.
The target? Most baked beans eaten with a toothpick in 3 minutes (team of 4). The previous Guinness World Records mark of 429 beans was on notice from the moment we sat down. I already held the individual title at 178, so the math was simple: if each teammate could hit 100 beans and I could match my personal best, we’d be in great shape.
When the clock started, it was chaos — beans flying, toothpicks snapping, everyone laser-focused (ok, none of those things are true except maybe some focus from some of us). Josh, true to form, attacked the beans with the same determination he uses to land a half court shot.
Three minutes later, we had obliterated the record with 559 beans — nearly 130 more than the old mark. But the fun didn’t stop there. I also reset my individual record, going from 178 to 211 beans in the same run.
Two records. One epic team. And a whole lot of beans.
C’mon!
