00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.240
If you would please briefly walk us through how this
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.000
incredible streak of big mac eating started.
3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.439
Okay, big mac eating started on May seventeenth, nineteen seventy two.
4
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.279
I had to wait till I got my first car
5
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.359
so that I could drive to McDonald's. And I had
6
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.480
planned on eating a big Mac on the first day
7
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.600
that I got a car. And that goes from a
8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.280
long story of a guy I used to shine his
9
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.879
shoes at the golf course. He owned the McDonald's and
10
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.679
so he kept on big and me to come on
11
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.120
over and try a big Mac, and I told him
12
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.760
the first day I got a car, will be over.
13
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.920
And so the first day I got a car, the
14
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.399
first place I went with McDonald's. And then I had
15
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.960
my first three big Macs. And I always had a
16
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.719
thing for double burgers in my life, had big boys
17
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.439
and stuff before I even had a big Mac. But
18
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.079
the big Mac was the best sandwich I ever had.
19
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.640
And so actually the first day I ate nine, and
20
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.240
then I was eating nine for a while.
21
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.679
You ate and nine the first day.
22
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.399
Yeah, I did. It's kind of like eating chocolate for
23
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.799
the first time. You can't eat enough chocolate, and now
24
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.960
that's kind of how I guess i'd describe I ate
25
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.439
Big Max, and I say I was. I just loved
26
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.439
them so much. I was really packing them down. And
27
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.439
it only lasts about a month where I was really
28
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.560
hammering them like that, and then my body kind of
29
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.280
got to a point where I had a calm down
30
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.359
kind of, and so then I was actually by the
31
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.000
end of June of nineteen seventy two, I was down
32
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.079
to like two or three a day. And then, like
33
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.280
I said, I wasn't married or I had no girlfriend
34
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.799
or nothing. So what I had been doing was just
35
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.519
eating the Big Max and throwing the cartins in the
36
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.599
back seat so I could keep count. And I was
37
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.359
only going to tea how many I could Pig Max.
38
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.319
I could eat until I got drafted. I mean, I
39
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.719
was a dead ringer to be drafted for the Vietnam War.
40
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.400
So and then come December nineteen seventy two, President Nixon
41
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.239
was bombing the heck out of hand NOOI, and I
42
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.159
was kind of thinking I was having my last Christmas
43
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.719
at home. And then in the next month, January nineteen
44
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.640
seventy three, all of a sudden they stopped the draft.
45
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.680
But a relief, you know, yeah, sure, and like I say,
46
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.120
my favorite food was Big Max, and I just kept
47
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.159
on eating them. And in seventy three is when I
48
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.599
met my wife, and then later on we got married.
49
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.400
She really didn't cook very well, so it worked out
50
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.000
so I could eat Big Macs every day.
51
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.120
Talking to Don Gorski, you just ate his thirty five
52
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.640
thousandth Big Mac of his lifetime up in fon du Lac,
53
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.959
Wisconsin here on the ride home on one of three
54
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.719
nine the Maverick, and you mentioned you had nine for
55
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.159
a while. In that first month you went crazy. But
56
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.639
you've still maintained quite a routine of multiple Big Macs
57
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.719
a day for a long time, haven't you right?
58
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.159
Well, I say, I've been to pretty much to a
59
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.879
day every day since nineteen eighty one. There was a
60
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.240
period from seventy four to eighty one that I was
61
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.000
eating one a day quite often because my mom made
62
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.919
me promise to eat one non McDonald's meal a day
63
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.800
because she was worried about my health. And then in
64
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.120
nineteen eighty one I talked to her and I said,
65
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.879
is it just okay if I just eat Big Max?
66
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.719
And she says, well, if they haven't killed you yet,
67
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.120
go right ahead. So I say, I want to always
68
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.000
do what my mom said. But then I say, it
69
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:45.680
just got the point where I said, it just be
70
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.560
easier if I could just eat Big Max. And then
71
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.879
so I've been doing it ever since. It usually it's
72
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.039
two a day, but some days I eat still eat three,
73
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.960
and then some days I eat one. But it's over
74
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.960
seven hundred every year.
75
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.560
Good Lord. So don the last time I talked to
76
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.000
you when I was doing mornings, I recall you saying
77
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.400
when you even kept the containers in which they came right?
78
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.800
That is correct for right now, like I say, my
79
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.240
attic is full. But now I start stacking them in
80
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.680
the basement. And for every year of Big Max, I
81
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.360
need five boxes for the cartons. And I guess that's
82
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.319
what when people tour a house and stuff, that's what
83
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.080
they like to see, is like in the basement, I
84
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.639
got like almost fifteen thousand cartons that you can see.
85
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.680
That's the stuff that like Guinness and a lot of
86
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.120
TV crews that come in they like to see as
87
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.719
all the cartons like that, because I'm sure nobody else
88
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.039
in the world's got anything like it.
89
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.080
There's no doubt about that. Doesn't it stink? Don't the
90
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.039
cartons smell.
91
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.120
No. What I do is like I say, when I
92
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.680
get my Big Max, like, that's what happened just now.
93
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.840
I just got home from McDonald's. So I got the
94
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.360
big Big Max on the table here. What I'll do
95
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.360
is I'll dump the Big Max out and well, I say,
96
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.240
if they're sauce or something on them, I'll lick them
97
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.039
or whatever. But I have an area here where I
98
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.360
let them drive for a while, and after they've dried
99
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.319
for about three or four days, then there's nothing that
100
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.599
can spoil or nothing. Then I start stacking them. So
101
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.439
I've been able to save all the cartons that of
102
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.360
the Big Max I ate. And then I say, when
103
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.280
I get every January, I should just put this way
104
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.360
every January first and every July first, I stack them
105
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.520
into boxes, says. What I do is I put on
106
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.360
my top of the refrigerator, and then they get so
107
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.439
high on the refrigerator I got to box them up.
108
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.560
So that's how the routine goals, month after month, year
109
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.000
of the year.
110
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.560
Good Lord Don Gorsky Fondu Lac, Wisconsin over the weekend
111
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.199
eighties thirty five thousandth Big Mac of his life. So
112
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.240
if you're eating about two a day, and the price
113
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.120
of a big Mac is gone up, and I'm sure
114
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.240
you will attest to this, the size has gone down
115
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.240
fairly significantly. How much are you spending every week on
116
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.879
big Macs?
117
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.879
Let's put this, I buy fourteen every week, and so
118
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.800
right right now they're like five thirty nine apiece, so
119
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.439
I have to multiply that, you know.
120
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.439
Yeah, you're over sixty bucks a week, probably almost seventy. Wow. Right,
121
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.600
all right now, the other question I have done, how
122
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.920
do your blood panels look? How has this, if at all,
123
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.120
affected your health?
124
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.720
Well, I've been blessed with really good health, and I
125
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.240
have good genetics which helps too, you know, so I
126
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.560
really never get sick. I've seen a doctor for quite
127
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.120
a few years. The actual doctor actually saw her physical
128
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.879
as in nineteen eighty six, so it's been a long time,
129
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.439
and I say it just been with bless of good
130
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.959
health and stuff. And another thing that I can rely
131
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.319
on a little bit is my wife as a nurse practitioner,
132
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.040
oh yeah, or retired one. And so that's like living
133
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.319
with a doctor. And so she noticed something wrong, she
134
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.639
does let me know. But I can actually get my
135
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.279
blood checked, you know, without a Tina doctor, I can
136
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.800
go down a clinic here and they can check my
137
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:27.959
class straw and stuff like that.
138
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.360
What is your cholesterol?
139
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.720
The last one they said was pretty low. I think
140
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.519
it was one fifty five. And then I had the
141
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.000
one before that was only one forty was my cholesterol?
142
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.720
And now the one nurse says, gee, that's really kind
143
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.800
of low for a person like you. And I said, well,
144
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.800
what do you want me to do? Eat three big vacs?
145
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.199
Yeah, yours is lower than mine. Oh that's crazy. So
146
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.439
don you're seventy one, you'll be seventy two in November.
147
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.920
I take it this is going to continue for as
148
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.600
long as you live.
149
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.560
Right, It's pretty obvious. It's what I want to do,
150
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.720
you know. And I say, I figure out by keeping
151
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.360
them until I die. But they, you know, asked me
152
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.600
my wife Mary about it. He likes to joke and
153
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.519
say that when she has to put him in a blender,
154
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.680
it's all over. I don't think i'll ever get that bad.
155
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.360
Like I told the boys that said, make sure you'll bitchery.
156
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.040
You're right, how many big macs? I hate? So that
157
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.000
if somebody needs to break the record, they'll know what
158
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:17.360
it is.
159
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.800
That's an amazing story Don, So good to catch up
160
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.879
with you again and thanks for joining us here on
161
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.319
one O three nine The Maverick.
162
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.319
All right, well, thank you for having me on your program,
163
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.959
and have yourself a really good day, okay,
1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.240
If you would please briefly walk us through how this
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.000
incredible streak of big mac eating started.
3
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.439
Okay, big mac eating started on May seventeenth, nineteen seventy two.
4
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.279
I had to wait till I got my first car
5
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.359
so that I could drive to McDonald's. And I had
6
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.480
planned on eating a big Mac on the first day
7
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.600
that I got a car. And that goes from a
8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.280
long story of a guy I used to shine his
9
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.879
shoes at the golf course. He owned the McDonald's and
10
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.679
so he kept on big and me to come on
11
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.120
over and try a big Mac, and I told him
12
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.760
the first day I got a car, will be over.
13
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.920
And so the first day I got a car, the
14
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.399
first place I went with McDonald's. And then I had
15
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.960
my first three big Macs. And I always had a
16
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.719
thing for double burgers in my life, had big boys
17
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.439
and stuff before I even had a big Mac. But
18
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.079
the big Mac was the best sandwich I ever had.
19
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.640
And so actually the first day I ate nine, and
20
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.240
then I was eating nine for a while.
21
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.679
You ate and nine the first day.
22
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.399
Yeah, I did. It's kind of like eating chocolate for
23
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.799
the first time. You can't eat enough chocolate, and now
24
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.960
that's kind of how I guess i'd describe I ate
25
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.439
Big Max, and I say I was. I just loved
26
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.439
them so much. I was really packing them down. And
27
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.439
it only lasts about a month where I was really
28
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.560
hammering them like that, and then my body kind of
29
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.280
got to a point where I had a calm down
30
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.359
kind of, and so then I was actually by the
31
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.000
end of June of nineteen seventy two, I was down
32
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.079
to like two or three a day. And then, like
33
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.280
I said, I wasn't married or I had no girlfriend
34
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.799
or nothing. So what I had been doing was just
35
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.519
eating the Big Max and throwing the cartins in the
36
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.599
back seat so I could keep count. And I was
37
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.359
only going to tea how many I could Pig Max.
38
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.319
I could eat until I got drafted. I mean, I
39
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.719
was a dead ringer to be drafted for the Vietnam War.
40
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.400
So and then come December nineteen seventy two, President Nixon
41
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.239
was bombing the heck out of hand NOOI, and I
42
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.159
was kind of thinking I was having my last Christmas
43
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.719
at home. And then in the next month, January nineteen
44
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.640
seventy three, all of a sudden they stopped the draft.
45
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.680
But a relief, you know, yeah, sure, and like I say,
46
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.120
my favorite food was Big Max, and I just kept
47
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.159
on eating them. And in seventy three is when I
48
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.599
met my wife, and then later on we got married.
49
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.400
She really didn't cook very well, so it worked out
50
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.000
so I could eat Big Macs every day.
51
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.120
Talking to Don Gorski, you just ate his thirty five
52
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.640
thousandth Big Mac of his lifetime up in fon du Lac,
53
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.959
Wisconsin here on the ride home on one of three
54
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.719
nine the Maverick, and you mentioned you had nine for
55
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.159
a while. In that first month you went crazy. But
56
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.639
you've still maintained quite a routine of multiple Big Macs
57
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.719
a day for a long time, haven't you right?
58
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.159
Well, I say, I've been to pretty much to a
59
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.879
day every day since nineteen eighty one. There was a
60
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.240
period from seventy four to eighty one that I was
61
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.000
eating one a day quite often because my mom made
62
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.919
me promise to eat one non McDonald's meal a day
63
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.800
because she was worried about my health. And then in
64
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.120
nineteen eighty one I talked to her and I said,
65
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.879
is it just okay if I just eat Big Max?
66
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.719
And she says, well, if they haven't killed you yet,
67
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.120
go right ahead. So I say, I want to always
68
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.000
do what my mom said. But then I say, it
69
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:45.680
just got the point where I said, it just be
70
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.560
easier if I could just eat Big Max. And then
71
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.879
so I've been doing it ever since. It usually it's
72
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.039
two a day, but some days I eat still eat three,
73
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.960
and then some days I eat one. But it's over
74
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.960
seven hundred every year.
75
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.560
Good Lord. So don the last time I talked to
76
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.000
you when I was doing mornings, I recall you saying
77
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.400
when you even kept the containers in which they came right?
78
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.800
That is correct for right now, like I say, my
79
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.240
attic is full. But now I start stacking them in
80
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.680
the basement. And for every year of Big Max, I
81
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.360
need five boxes for the cartons. And I guess that's
82
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.319
what when people tour a house and stuff, that's what
83
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.080
they like to see, is like in the basement, I
84
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.639
got like almost fifteen thousand cartons that you can see.
85
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.680
That's the stuff that like Guinness and a lot of
86
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.120
TV crews that come in they like to see as
87
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.719
all the cartons like that, because I'm sure nobody else
88
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.039
in the world's got anything like it.
89
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.080
There's no doubt about that. Doesn't it stink? Don't the
90
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.039
cartons smell.
91
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.120
No. What I do is like I say, when I
92
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.680
get my Big Max, like, that's what happened just now.
93
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.840
I just got home from McDonald's. So I got the
94
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.360
big Big Max on the table here. What I'll do
95
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.360
is I'll dump the Big Max out and well, I say,
96
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.240
if they're sauce or something on them, I'll lick them
97
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.039
or whatever. But I have an area here where I
98
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.360
let them drive for a while, and after they've dried
99
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.319
for about three or four days, then there's nothing that
100
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.599
can spoil or nothing. Then I start stacking them. So
101
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.439
I've been able to save all the cartons that of
102
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.360
the Big Max I ate. And then I say, when
103
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.280
I get every January, I should just put this way
104
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.360
every January first and every July first, I stack them
105
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.520
into boxes, says. What I do is I put on
106
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.360
my top of the refrigerator, and then they get so
107
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.439
high on the refrigerator I got to box them up.
108
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.560
So that's how the routine goals, month after month, year
109
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:14.000
of the year.
110
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.560
Good Lord Don Gorsky Fondu Lac, Wisconsin over the weekend
111
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.199
eighties thirty five thousandth Big Mac of his life. So
112
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.240
if you're eating about two a day, and the price
113
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.120
of a big Mac is gone up, and I'm sure
114
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.240
you will attest to this, the size has gone down
115
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.240
fairly significantly. How much are you spending every week on
116
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.879
big Macs?
117
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.879
Let's put this, I buy fourteen every week, and so
118
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.800
right right now they're like five thirty nine apiece, so
119
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.439
I have to multiply that, you know.
120
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.439
Yeah, you're over sixty bucks a week, probably almost seventy. Wow. Right,
121
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.600
all right now, the other question I have done, how
122
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.920
do your blood panels look? How has this, if at all,
123
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.120
affected your health?
124
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.720
Well, I've been blessed with really good health, and I
125
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.240
have good genetics which helps too, you know, so I
126
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.560
really never get sick. I've seen a doctor for quite
127
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.120
a few years. The actual doctor actually saw her physical
128
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.879
as in nineteen eighty six, so it's been a long time,
129
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.439
and I say it just been with bless of good
130
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.959
health and stuff. And another thing that I can rely
131
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.319
on a little bit is my wife as a nurse practitioner,
132
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.040
oh yeah, or retired one. And so that's like living
133
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.319
with a doctor. And so she noticed something wrong, she
134
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.639
does let me know. But I can actually get my
135
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.279
blood checked, you know, without a Tina doctor, I can
136
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:26.800
go down a clinic here and they can check my
137
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:27.959
class straw and stuff like that.
138
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:29.360
What is your cholesterol?
139
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.720
The last one they said was pretty low. I think
140
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.519
it was one fifty five. And then I had the
141
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.000
one before that was only one forty was my cholesterol?
142
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.720
And now the one nurse says, gee, that's really kind
143
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.800
of low for a person like you. And I said, well,
144
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.800
what do you want me to do? Eat three big vacs?
145
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.199
Yeah, yours is lower than mine. Oh that's crazy. So
146
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.439
don you're seventy one, you'll be seventy two in November.
147
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.920
I take it this is going to continue for as
148
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.600
long as you live.
149
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.560
Right, It's pretty obvious. It's what I want to do,
150
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.720
you know. And I say, I figure out by keeping
151
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.360
them until I die. But they, you know, asked me
152
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.600
my wife Mary about it. He likes to joke and
153
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.519
say that when she has to put him in a blender,
154
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.680
it's all over. I don't think i'll ever get that bad.
155
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.360
Like I told the boys that said, make sure you'll bitchery.
156
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.040
You're right, how many big macs? I hate? So that
157
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.000
if somebody needs to break the record, they'll know what
158
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:17.360
it is.
159
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.800
That's an amazing story Don, So good to catch up
160
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.879
with you again and thanks for joining us here on
161
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.319
one O three nine The Maverick.
162
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.319
All right, well, thank you for having me on your program,
163
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.959
and have yourself a really good day, okay,
