My brother and I used to do this all the time. The first 5 minutes is brutal, but once you get past that it's just easy, you can go for hours! Maybe I'll give it a shot someday.
Matthew Lamperski
i stared for 9:38 before but nobody else will stare into the camera that long good job
Rob Birdsong
@Jose - definitively a slight twitch, but cannot say that was a clear eye-closing blink
Jose Bautista
Blink at 4:11? the kid on the left
Schuyler Van Horn

Mike Wissa
Dakota and I both come from a long line of non-blinkers.
Dustin Barker
lol.. Neil you looked like you were ready to go for an hour. Your brother went about every 30 seconds
Neil Moallem
OMG my brother screwed us on this one, wow
Dustin Barker
What is a brain?
Logan Davis
You guys beat me last minute. How could I beat you after the contest is over? Use your brain. Or is it too full of weed for you to realize that?
Dustin Barker
yes... get better. if you could have beaten it you would have to get that dough.
Mitch Jankowski
I
Mick Cullen
I am looking forward to this contest being over. RecordSetter is usually a supportive and positive place, but the money-driven competition has created some real animosity in some of these comment threads. Trash talking? Insults? Really? Come on people.
Logan Davis
Get better? I could beat you guys easy. Your first video was what? Three minutes? Oh and we did it when we weren't high. Congrats on your money. I bet you'll spend it on weed.
Neil Moallem
It's okay Logan because I beat this by a lot
Logan Davis
Are you kidding me? Oh my hell. That was supposed to pay off a third of my debt. I hate you so much.
Mitch Jankowski
@Neil...we watched that 9 minute video...your boy on the left blinks about 90 times
Dustin Barker
step your game up
Dustin Barker
get better and you woulda won
Brianna Grossman
@Peter- there was someone in the background moving a little bit near the middle-end. and the two guys were talking a bit also. If you look real closely, you can see them moving a little bit as they breathe.......
Brianna Grossman
was that a threat I heard @ .57 seconds? lol. you two are cute!
Schuyler Van Horn
sorry 11:59 pm that is
Schuyler Van Horn
@Taylor - deadlines for submissions is 11:59 EDT on 10/11. Just under 2 weeks. get your last minute records in!
Taylor Thompson
When does the contest end?
Peter Craig
I think for further evidence on this record, a digital timer or analog clock should be behind the setters or at least something moving so time passing can be better determined to not be manipulated...
Rob Birdsong
Way to go! Christian , props for taking your glasses off for this attempt.
Nathan Hegwood
I don't know, maybe Nick jr.
Schuyler Van Horn
What is playing in the background?!?!? Amazing combo of audio and video
Rob Birdsong
ALL attempts in this category will be denied unless both participants are looking directly in to the lens of the web camera for the entire duration of clip.
Dan Rollman
You guys look like true experts. Get a clean attempt on video and you'll be the ones to beat. Please don't keep the glasses on, however, as it makes it difficult to clearly see your eyes.
Dan Rollman
Nice work, Kevin Friedman and Kevin Friedman's friend.
Rob Birdsong
Clayton, amazing attempt. Next time you and your teammate should have the exact same focal point, looking right in to the lens of the web camera.
Rob Birdsong
Next time guys, use a tri-pod. The wobbly camera work makes this too close to call.
Rob Birdsong
Agreed. You guys should re-attempt and re-submit this attempt. Remember to follow the criteria as close as possible.
Simon Kirk
Guy on the left is not staring at the camera
Simon Kirk
But only one person is looking at the camera? How is this not a fail?
Rob Birdsong
FAIL: The gentleman in the green shirt looks away and looks back at the camera at the 17-second mark. Sorry guys, please try again.
Dan Rollman
Nathan, we're still processing submissions from the long weekend. Stay tuned!
Nathan Hegwood
I posted one that was like 52 seconds about 3 days ago, when will it beat this record?
Dayton Hegwood
This record is MINE! Mwahahahahaha! Got a brother who can do this with me for like 5 minutes!
