Evan Fleischer: I know poems speak for themselves, but why the Guinness Book of World Records? Todd Dillard: I loved the GBWR as a kid — it was this really organized and contained way of showing a young me how far humans can go, but it was also very useful in showing me early on that I don't know shit about people and what they can do. This not knowing — this always being surprised and slightly confused and open to whatever the world lobs at me — I wanted to write an homage to that. Also I wanted to make fun of myself.
