You know when you get a press release to cover a Guinness world record attempt for tallest stack of waffles & expect it to be some big commercial thing & then it's just a guy's house? This is SO MUCH BETTER. Follow along, #Denver! Things might get weird!pic.twitter.com/xcxqZCMJZM

Spencer McCullough, waffle wunderkind, said when he started embarking on his waffle stacking journey, he received a 40 page PDF from Guinness defining what a waffle was. They are using about 50 pounds of mix to make their dreams come true

Friend Steve Garguilo FLEW IN FROM TX to help stack waffles. He got a text from Spencer asking if he wanted to come help. "I said the next time you send me a text like this, don't phrase it as a question...say I'm setting a record stacking waffles and you're coming." FRIENDSHIP
