Aimee + Shawn Will Set World Records

Author Aimee Thomas
LONDON - NOVEMBER 11: A pile of copies of the Guinness World Records book is seen at the photocall for the 100 millionth copy of the Guinness World Records in the Tate Modern on November 11, 2003 in London.

The University of Florida recently made headlines when their mascot, Albert Gator, set a new world record for fist-bumping 340 students in three minutes! His record-breaking feat beat the old record of 220.

This got us thinking: if we could set a world record, what would it be? Aimee says that she could open the most bottles of wine in one minute. Shawn things he can catch the most shrimp in his mouth thrown by a chef.

If you’re looking to make history and have your name appear in the Guinness Book of World Records, it’s important to find something that is challenging yet achievable. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Most Apples Eaten with a Knife and Fork in Three Minutes – Ever tried cutting an apple with a knife and fork? It’s harder than it looks – but if you can master the technique, you could be on your way to setting a world record. It’s definitely not easy (or safe), but if you practice enough, you might just be able to do it faster than anyone else in the world! Because you will be the only one to try it.

Longest Distance Skateboarded in 24 Hours – You don’t necessarily have to be Shawn White or Tony Hawk to attempt this one – all you need is a skateboard and loads of determination. Who knows how far you can go in 24 hours? Set yourself a goal, stick with it, and see how far your hard work takes you!

Most Pushups Completed in One Minute – This is another challenge that requires strength and endurance – (not my style) but with enough practice and dedication, anyone can do it. Pushups might seem like an easy exercise at first glance, but they actually require quite a bit of core strength and stamina. Start small with 10 pushups per day and gradually build up your strength until you reach 100 pushups per minute!

If these ideas don’t spark your interest, why not come up with something unique that nobody has ever attempted before? Whether it’s juggling fruit while walking backwards or doing handstands for three minutes straight – no idea is too crazy when it comes to setting world records! So have fun dreaming up impossible feats! Good luck!

Aimee Thomas is the morning show co-host of Aimee + Shawn on 102.7 VGS. She has been VGS since the birth of the station in 2022 and has been with Beasley Media Group for nine years doing mornings at various stations in the cluster. Before working in radio Aimee was a bartender at a local restaurant in Las Vegas when a local radio veteran thought she would be perfect in radio because of her crazy stories, knowledge of pop culture, and contagious laugh. Aimee loves writing about new recipes she creates in her kitchen, her favorite artists and actors, and being a mom of two boys.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

Another day older, and another week wiser on Aimee+Shawn this week. It began with Shawn turning the tender age of 39. Aimee had the day off (celebrating Shawn’s birthday, one can assume)… but young Sammi from the afternoon show was there to make him feel even older.

Shawn brought his dog to the vet for a $400 dental cleaning. So why did he walk out with a $2700 bill?! Did Shawn get screwed?

When Aimee came back on Tuesday, we got a breakthrough. Her son pretty clearly does not want to be associated with her on the internet for the sheer embarrassment of it all. But he has started to teach his mother TikTok dances. Is it going well? Not quite… but it’s bonding time!

Valentine’s Day brought gift bags to the Tempesta residence. One parent thought it was a good idea to add confetti to theirs. Shawn wants them thrown in prison. They discuss gift etiquette and the whole concept of everyone getting a gift for everything in the first place.

Aimee, somehow, got lost going to the Sahara. When she got there, she took in Magic Mike Live with her mom… who had to use her safe word. Several times.

This week brought a new term to the show: “playing it forward”. This is when a listener calls and tries to win tickets for another listener who is having a really tough time winning games on the show. First it was Courtney who “played it forward” to win tickets for Buckeye Bob in Radio Roulette… then Katrina took on Google Predicts to win tickets for Sandra! How can you not love these listeners?!

Finally, Aimee took on Presidential trivia with disastrous results.

Next week on Aimee+Shawn…

The show returns Tuesday (thanks President’s Day!) with tickets to see Maroon 5 at Dolby Live at Park MGM! Enjoy the weekend, and see you then!

  • Today Is Shawn's Birthday... And He Hates It

    It is Shawn’s least favorite day of the year: his birthday. From the chain restaurant songs to burdening people with their needing to remember the day he was born… he’s just not that into it.

  • Rihanna's Super Bowl Performance Was... Alright

    Sure she was pregnant, but this is the Super Bowl. What’d YOU think of her Halftime Show performance?

  • Stores Are Now Locking Up Bars Of Soap

    A “quick” trip to CVS turned into a longer affair as he waited for someone with a key to give him access to…soap.

  • Shawn's Dog Had A Hefty Vet Bill

    A simple dental cleaning turned into a nearly $3,000 visit! How?! Why?! And does your vet tell you what they told Russ The Driver (to not get your dog’s teeth cleaned yearly)?

  • Getting Married On The Cheap

    We’ve been to the pricey weddings and we’ve been to the cheap ones. Which ones do we enjoy more?

  • Aimee's Son Is Trying To Teach Her TikTok Dances

    Sure, he is pretending he doesn’t know her on social media… but Jayden is trying to get his mom cool enough to show to his friends. So far… it’s not going well.

  • Keeping Up With Other Moms (Or STOP PUTTING CONFETTI IN GIFT BAGS)

    Shawn has had it with the undeclared Pinterest war of moms that is going on at every birthday party, classroom and football field in Las Vegas right now.

  • Putting Away The Laundry Is The Worst Chore Ever

    Thank God Aimee and Shawn aren’t “together”, because if they were there would never be a hung or folded piece of clothing again.

  • How Do You Get Lost Going To The Sahara In Las Vegas?

    It quite literally has its own street. It is next to the tallest landmark in the valley. HOW do you miss it by a couple miles?!

  • Screaming The Safe Word At Magic Mike Live

    Once Aimee and her mom DID make it to Sahara… it was a party at MML! Until mom was getting pulled on-stage.

  • Pushing Back When Companies Take Advantage Of You

    This is the 10 year anniversary of Shawn speaking up for himself and getting a company to open their wallet to the tune of thousands of dollars after broken promises left him in a precarious situation.

  • CNN's Don Lemon Tells Us When Women Are In Their Prime

    It’s evident that Don hasn’t spoken to women before, because if he had he know this was a TERRIBLE conversation to have.

  • Listeners Playing It Forward On "Google Predicts"

    This marks TWICE this week that a listener has called to win another listener tickets to a show. Man, we love our people!

  • What Is Internet, Anyways?!

    Back in 1994, “Today” famously had no idea what the Internet was. Aimee+Shawn wonder what their moment of embarrassment will be in a decade…

  • Young Aimee Wrote To Oprah... Young Shawn Wrote To Nancy Kerrigan...

    Both Aimee and Shawn wrote to celebrities they were fans of. While Aimee loved Oprah, Shawn loved Nancy Kerrigan.

  • Presidential Historian Aimee Thomas Tries Trivia

    Can Aimee answer any questions correctly about United States Presidents before we head off for a three day President’s Day weekend?
