I love hamburger like no other food.
I have eaten thirty two thousand three hundred and forty big macs in my lifetime.
I'm closing in on fifty years next year of eating them everyday.
>> That is Donald Gorski who has now, you can see this, he passed 30,000 big Macs.
You can see this promotional photo outside of a McDonald's.
He loves McDonald's more than anyone loves anything.
He did indeed.
Eventually, according to the Guinness world records Eat a Big Mac from
McDonald's every day for the last 50 years.
And that actually underplays that he says that it was more like to every single day
with very narrow exceptions along the way.
His routine involves eating too big Mac burgers per day.
That's a grand total of fourteen a week.
He started this back in May of 1972 after he got his first car,
I'm gonna guess so that he could get to McDonald's.
At one point he was eating nine Big Macs every single day.
He says he got his car, I drove straight to McDonald's,
got my first three Big Macs, then got in my car and ate them.
In that moment I said, I'm gonna probably eat these for the rest of my life.
I threw the car into the back of my seat and started counting them from day one.
He is so similar to me.
I wonder if we might be related.
Anyway, not a lot of people at that young like point in their life can so
accurately predict what they will do and stick to it.
But gorse could and JR he has now made it.
He is world famous.
I don't think anyone can say that they've eaten more big necks than him.
What do you think of it?
>> No bro.
It's an accomplishment but I'm not buying it bro.
I'm just not buying, you counted thirty over how this guy 30,000 Big Macs.
So what is this is you have it on a spreadsheet started 1972.
He started on some lime paper and then leave it in his closet.
I'm very curious about this counting process.
There's been no backing to it.
>> [INAUDIBLE] JR you're wrong.
He has actually tracked it.
He keeps the receipts and the boxes for all of them going back to the 70s.
I know it's crazy.
But look, he says he missed eight days.
But if he was gonna lie why does he admit that he missed the eight days if it was
really 50 or 1000?
The fact that he says he missed eight days makes me buy it way more.
>> There's a pretty good a way to make sure that skeptics like me will go
ahead and buy this.
But okay fine we'll buy it for the sake of buying it when it comes to this argument.
He must not eat literally anything else.
There's no way you can eat multiple Big Macs a day and
then fit in some salmon, maybe some vegetables, possibly a hot dog even.
None of these things fit into the Viet chips.
Is there snacks on the side?
>> He doesn't get fries he says.
He doesn't do fries, that's how he's able to maintain his weight.
Yeah, Here's the thing, you're doubly wrong.
So you're wrong about the receipts but also a Big Mac has,
I'm reading 530 calories.
Here's the thing about a Big Mac that makes so insidious.
You eat a Big Mac and it has literally no effect on your appetite.
You can immediately eat another Big Mac or something else.
I bet he's doing quite well in terms of eating other food.
The more crazy thing to me is just that you would crave it every day.
I love like make chickens, but I don't want to make chickens every day.
That seems crazy.
>> Make chickens over the other chicken sandwiches I think there's a little
lower on the Bronx, but no, okay.
So again, I was thinking just the taste for it.
Like, there must be a day when he wakes up and goes, okay,
fine I gotta do it even I really don't want to streak alive.
>> Probably.
Is there any food that you would do twice a day for fifty years?
>> I eat a large amount of pizza I'd say.
But I definitely can't do it every day, but if someone forced
me to I'm gonna I don't know if this guy's getting any kind of money for
it has become the new Ronald McDonald.
But his name is Donald, so his name is Donald George.
>> This is probably all a promotional thing.
>> He's the next like mascot for McDonald's, he's the next grimace.
>> Exactly, yeah.
After eating those on days when you didn't want to he might grimace.
I think for me, it would probably be sushi if I could get like two rolls every day.
I think I can maintain that for a long time, but I'm probably not going to.
It also sounds expensive.
It's so many Big Macs.
My one final thought because we're running out of time.
He says he missed the eight days and I kept looking.
He hasn't said why?
Like 50 years, only eight days you missed it.
Each one of those has to be a story.
There has to be some good reason what was going on that your lifelong quest
got interrupted.
He was on the interview this guy.
>> No, he was he was on the can for way too long and
he couldn't make it to the McDonald's before they closed.
Those particular eight days he was like, I'm just tied up.
>> I'm gonna see if we can interview him and
I want to find out about those eight days.
Anyway you're gross.
But thank you for coming on the show today JR it's always good to have you for
[INAUDIBLE].
>> Actually, I'm gonna get a Big Mac.
I'll see you guys next time.
