" including one incident where Baillie performed a Guinness-related party trick after colleagues asked him to show it off."

Is this just splitting the G? If so, it's the most mundane thing in the history of alcohol related party tricks.

> It goes on to say that at the same retreat Baillie drank a Guinness standing on his head, after sharing that he had learned the trick from his former father in law during a conversation inspired by the trust session.

From another article: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/netflix-exec...

Honestly, the whole thing seems sort of innocuous. He had some particular medical treatment and then drank a Guinness upside down. Maybe there was something else to it but if you're a big corp then you probably should just give a safe answer.

Mate needs to move down to Australia, he would have been promoted after showing that off.

But in Australia, he would have just been drinking it normally.

...I'm fired, aren't I? I'll see myself out.

Yeah you’ll never catch me drinking a Guinness while standing on my head at a company event.

Mostly due to a total lack of coordination.

[Noumenon72]

I will try to catch you, I'll just fail due to my equal lack of coordination. Never bring a pint of Guinness to a trust fall.

What about a pitcher?

what is splitting the G? I'm not a big drinker

[Noumenon72]

According to ChatGPT it's the skill of taking exactly one sip such that when you put the Guiness glass down the new beer level ends up precisely through the horizontal middle of the "G".

According to LadBible the actual trick was drinking a pint of Guinness while standing on his head.

I appreciate you taking the time to look it up so the rest of us don’t have to.

Please don't do this. Quote a source, not an LLM that bullshits.

[Noumenon72]

This conversation is at a level of triviality where OP did not think it was worth looking up and no one would have clicked through to any source anyway. I didn't even believe it was worth GP's time to have to type out an answer. This way, everyone who was wondering got an accurate answer instantly. Note that I did source the claim where it actually matters if you believe the wrong thing about the person.

I feel you just need to get comfortable with the idea that an 80% confident answer is better than none, since the correction can always be searched for and posted by anyone who requires 100% confidence. I spend half of my day requesting and sifting 80% confident answers, so the idea that they have no value compared to hard sources makes no sense to me.

Nor am I but I found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL35y1nTkxQ

It seems to be a challenge where you drink a specific amount from a pint in one try such that the bottom of the foam splits the Guinness logo. It's not even a huge amount. It seems to less than 20% of the pint eyeballing it.
