The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. On today's Fact of the Day of the Week, Vaughn stuffs his face with a week of weird eating records. It's time for... Fact of the Day theme is eating records. Great. And I thought we'd start with what is believed to be the world's largest meal ever consumed. Okay.

Weight-wise. Weight-wise. Weight-wise. The Guinness Book of Records, this is not one you can apply to beat anymore. Because it's bad for you? Dangerous. The person who holds the record died. Wow.

Okay. So it was in 1984 that, 1983, I do apologize, 8 a.m. It was a Sunday. A 23-year-old woman arrived at A&E at the Royal Liverpool Hospital complaining of abdominal pain. Her belly button had popped out like you'd expect to see during pregnancy.

Oh, yeah, yeah. The belly button goes inside out. Oh, no. And she was finding it difficult to breathe. Nurses began questioning her and she said, I did have a late dinner between midnight and 4am. Okay. And anyway, a little while later, she passed away.

Oh, goodness. The body was just, it just couldn't handle it. Couldn't hack it. Couldn't handle it. In a post-mortem, it was confirmed that the contents of her stomach weighed 8.6 kilograms. Oh, my. That's as much as your statue here. Twice the size of a baby. Oh, my gosh. 8.6 kilograms. Oh my, this is as much as your statue here.

Which is twice the size of a baby. Oh my God. 8.6 kilograms. Oh, that's a lot. It was published in a medical journal. They said. What was it? I've got it.

Oh, thank you. Her gigantic meal comprised of 450 grams of liver. Yuck. At least it's in a pot. At least it's in a pot. Maybe she's on the pot. Unless it's in a pot, though. Maybe she's on the gains. 900 grams of kidneys. Why is she on the offal? Oh, yuck.

She's on the offal. Between midnight and four o'clock as well. 226 grams of steak. Yum. Which is a small steak for someone who just polished off, you know, the better part of one and a half kgs of offal. Yeah. Two eggs.

Oh, yum. 500 grams Two eggs. Oh, yum. 500 grams of cheese. Oh, yum. Yum. That's madness. That's half a block. That's half a kg block. I know.

She's keto as well, you know. Yeah. Here we go. Bring in the carbs. Two large slices of bread. Okay. 450 grams of mushrooms. 900 grams of-

Do you know how light mushrooms are? They weigh nothing. 450 grams is-. 900 grams of... Wait, do you know how light mushrooms are? They weigh nothing. Yeah. 450 grams is a mountain of mushrooms. 907 grams of carrot. One cauliflower. Do you think while she was doing this, she was like, I better have some veggies?

This is a very hungry caterpillar. Very hungry. Very hungry caterpillar. One cauliflower. 10 peaches. Because she's like, oh, I could do with some pud, but I'm trying to, well, I might eat some fruit. I want something sweet, but I don't want anything candy.

10 peaches, four pears, two apples, four bananas, 900 grams of plums, 900 grams of grapes, and two glasses of milk. Jeez, it's the milk that did it. And this is in one meal between midnight and four. Yes. Or is this what she ate in a 24-hour... This was in her late meal between midnight and four.

Who cooked it? Why did she do that? I don't know. It is considered, and they stopped, obviously, because to beat this record, you would have to do something horrendously endangering to yourself. Yeah. Because she did die directly as a result of just...

Moving everything. The whole everything was just like, shut it out. Everything shut down. Just stop. Shut it down. But there comes a point when you eat too much where you just can't. Yeah. What was she doing?

She must have had that thing that golden retrievers have. This kind of real satiation. Yeah, yeah, have. Did they say how much you weigh? Because you know a lot of those people that do the eating competitions are like tiny people. Nah, there's no word on, I don't have a name or anything. It's kind of a, it is an official record, but they say they don't do it anymore. Even competitive eaters, they've distanced themselves

from them trying to eat a bigger meal than that. Because 8.6, I don't even know how to describe they describe it in this article as heavier than the heaviest bowling ball you'll find at a bowling alley. Just shoving it in you. Just eating it in that form of again, liver, kidneys,

steak, eggs, cheese, bread, mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower, peaches, pears, apples, bananas, plums, grapes, and two glasses of milk. That sounds like she had a fruit salad. At the end. Yeah, the largest fruit salad on record. Yeah, a vat of fruit. The largest fruit salad.

So today's fact of the day is a Guinness World Record for the largest meal, the heaviest meal ever eaten may never be beaten as they do not want to hear about it because the person that ate 8.6 kilograms in four hours died. This week at Fact of the Day we're covering weird eating records. This one

is so gross. How much do you think in five minutes, what do you think the record is for eating 28 ounces of butter? I can put that into. How many grams is that? I think about 800 grams. Oh, yuck.

Yeah, 800 grams of butter. So a block, the better part of a block and a half of butter. And how long would that take you? Okay, that's not as bad as I thought. Is it room temp? Oh, yeah, no, that's not as bad as I thought. Is it room temp? Oh, yeah, no, that's a good call. I've got soft teeth. I'd be careful.

The butter's not going to... Put it in the refrigerator. The butter's not going to break your teeth. You don't know my teeth. Look at Wiggly. You eat apples. Yeah, I do too. Okay, I'll be all right.

Oh, not long. This is salted American butter. Yum. Can I pour sugar on it? No. Can I whip it with sugar? Oh, my God, like when you're making a new... I don't know, a minute.

Oh, no. Is that too long? Way more than that. Way more than that. From a hard block. I don't know. If it was soft, though, I'd be like... It would be disgusting.

Oh, yeah, but then you'd be working through it. You'd have to get it down. That's my favourite is when you finish like a really good pastry and your mouth's just like coated in butter. Oh no, you're going to have to tell us. It's your fact of the day. Don, what I wanted you to guess. It took five hours.

No, it took five minutes because he had five minutes. The rule is if you want to attempt the world record of butter eating, you've got five minutes to eat as much butter as you can. What's that? It's going to be a runny poo, isn't it? Oily. It'll be oily, fatty. So five minutes to eat a block and a half of butter.

Now, you think that's easy, but the more you think about it, the more you think how ridiculous that is. Yeah. To be able to do that. This man, Don Lerman, he's a competitive New York eater. He holds some other eating records as well. What's he got? He ate six pounds of baked beans in 1 minute 48 seconds.

What does this man look like? Give us a minute. That's 2.7 kilograms of baked beans. Imagine the toots after that. In 1 minute 48. Oh, wow. He just drank those beans. Yeah. He drank baked beans. Imagine the toots after that. In one minute 48. Oh, wow. He just drank those beans. Yeah.

He drank those beans. He ate 11 burgers in 10 minutes. As this article says, that's a lot of bread. It's a bit sad. It's a lot of bread. But the one I think everyone's the most blown away by is the butter. And it's one of those ones that people think, I could do that and then attempt and are just like, I was wrong.

Yes. Yeah, that's what I thought when people think, I could do that and then attempt and are just like, I was wrong. Yes. Yeah, that's what I thought when you said it was just a block and a half. I was like, yeah, man, I could get that down in five. You'd have the first tablespoon and be like. Yeah, you would. You'd take the first bite and be like, this is terrible. Yeah. I've got a picture here of Don Lerman, just to pull up for you guys.

It'd be good if it was in those American sticks. Then you could just. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, maybe. Soften. Oh, okay. Just an average looking guy. Yeah.

Who eats 11 burgers and just. I'd yeah, maybe. Soften. Oh, okay. Just an average looking guy. Yeah. Who eats 11 burgers and just... I'd like to know his cholesterol level. Yeah, sounds bad. I believe he's still alive. There's nothing here that says he's passed. He's 75 years old now. Oh. Okay.

That goes to prove to you, hey, genetics. Yeah. Genetics plays a massive part. It's like when you see a 104-year-old Chinese man smoking cigarettes. Oh, no. And they're like, how many of those do you smoke? He's like when you see a 104-year-old Chinese man smoking cigarettes. Oh, no. And they're like, how many of those do you smoke? He's like, I'm never not smoking one. How old are you?

I'm 104. And he drinks whiskey. Yeah. And you're like, okay, well, what about his gut health? Who cares? He's alive. He doesn't care. He's cranking.

He's alive. The day he quits smoking is the day he dies. So today's Fact of the Day. And, I mean, school, he's cranking. He's lying. The day he quits smoking is the day he dies. So today's Fact of the Day. And, I mean, school holidays, you know. If you're listening and you want to try this and you've got two blocks. Born! Absolutely not. Don't provide that to our child listeners.

That's not what we're saying. Our child listeners. It sounds like child soldiers. And good morning to our child listeners. And good morning to any child soldiers who are listening. Yep. Yeah. I hope you guys get out of that horrible situation

on Skate. So today's eating record for Fact of the Day is in 2002 Don Lerman broke the world record of butter eating by eating 798 grams of butter.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. This week's fact of the day theme is... Speaking of food. Speaking of food. This is going to put you off though. Why don't you put me off that burger though? Are you bookmarking that for later? Are you saving that for later?

Does anyone else have an Instagram save tab and it's just all the recipes they want to try one day? Yes, yes. When they just totally give up? Yeah, yeah. And they're like, yeah, a thousand calories for one small mouthful. It seems worth it.

Whatever, whatever. Have your way with me, diabetes. Type 2. There's an important distinction. Oh, he's dropped something. And today's fact of the day about food records is from 2001, a British man called Ken Edwards broke the world record by eating

36 live cockroaches in 60 seconds. 60 seconds. That's one minute. You have to munch them, eh? That's one every two seconds. You have to munch them because you wouldn't want this, because I always think,

oh, just swallow it whole, swallow it down. But with a live bug, you wouldn't want to do that. Are they live? Even if they were live. And also, you're thinking your average West Auckland cockroach, which as far as I know, around New Zealand, fairly large cockroach.

Yeah. No, I've seen them overseas. Like, was it on the Fiji we saw them? And they were ginormous. On the Fiji. On the Fiji Islands. On the Fiji Islands. Yeah.

There were some, and they were massive. The cockroach you have to eat, 32 of. No, how many did he eat? I've got to go back to that tab. I'm a little bit carried away. He said 60, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He ate 36 live cockroaches in 60 seconds.

60 seconds, okay. The one you have to eat is the famous Madagascan hissing cockroach. That's as long as your fingers. It's bigger than a nuggy. So what, like three inches long? Yuck, yuck, meaty. Yeah, meaty. It'd be a meaty.

It looks like the sort of thing Timon and Pumbaa would be stoked to find under a log. It'd burst. That's a hakuna matata. Yeah, it'd burst in your mouth. And then they'd eat them. Although, I will say the original animated Lion King made eating bugs look pretty good. Like the slurping and the crunching and the stuff. It made me think I could live on bugs

but that's the protein of the future. I could have the bug flour they make. You know they make that. Yeah I've had the crickets. Cricket flour. We've had some

deep fried crickets in South East Asia. That was fun. Yeah. It's yum. So this is done now. You'll never beat this record because it's eating

a live animal. Oh I know it's frowned upon now. That was 2001 when this happened because it's eating a live animal. Oh, I know. It's frowned upon now. That was 2001 when this happened and that's big frowned upon. Okay. Big frowned upon. So 36 live Madagascan hissing cockroaches in 60 seconds is the record for today's fact of the day. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey. Play ZM.

Sorry, I'm just laughing because you gave me a slice of apple and it had a little bit of seed left in it, so I've actually sliced it back and I was going to throw it at you. Grow up, please. Give me a better, cleaner slice of apple. Have some maturity. Okay. Well, we've just had a delicious slice of apple

and it is fact of the day theme this week, eating records, interesting eating records. We've talked about live, live cockroaches. We've talked about the world's biggest meal that the person died from. They don't ever want anybody to replicate that record because somebody died. We talked about eating butter. Yeah. Now 800 grams of butter butter we thought to ourselves, accomplishable but then the more we thought about it, hard and sticky. In five minutes. Yeah, yuck. In 2016

Gijinoiji broke the world record for eating kale. Gross, right? Was it fried? Because that's yum. Roar ass stalk? Roar ass right? Was it fried? Because that's yum. Yum. Kale chips. Raw ass. Stork?

Raw ass kale. Okay. As you would purchase from a produce section. Remember when that was all the rage? Everyone was like kale. It was probably then

2016 was it? It was yeah. Kale was packed with protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, K, folate, omega 3 fatty acid. It's good for you. I'm surprised with all

your nonsense talk about gut health. Nonsense. I know it3 fatty acid. It's good for you. I'm surprised with all your nonsense talk about gut health. I know it's not nonsense. It's a bit much. Witchcraft. This witchcraft has got you in the shape of your life. This witchcraft has got you looking significantly better than us. This scientifically-based witchcraft. I thought you'd be on the kale.

I don't mind it if it's in the... But I don't go out of my way. I'd rather eat broccoli. I love... Same, but I love crispy kale. Yeah, crispy kale is... This is the kale. I don't mind it if it's in a... But I don't go out of my way. I'd rather eat broccoli. I love... Same, but I love crispy kale. Yeah, crispy kale is... This is raw kale. How much in eight minutes to set the world record, do you think?

Three kgs. But in what quantity? Cups, handfuls, bags? Kgs. Shred it. Is it cupped? But I don't know. What's...

How much is a bag of kale? A bag of kale is 175 grams. I'm looking at like a bunch, a decent sized bunch of kale is 175 grams. Because that's light. It's a light vegetable. 10 of them, 1.7 kgs. 10 bags of kale in 10 minutes. Is that possible?

10 minutes? 8 minutes. 8 minutes. So what did he do? I want you to have a guess. He wants us to guess. 5 kgs. 5 kgs.

That's a ton of kale. Okay. I don't know. That's a bale of kale. Okay. Two kgs of kale in eight minutes. I'll say 175 grams. I'll say three and a half kgs.

Eleven and a half kgs. Why did you laugh at me when I said that? You pooed my phone. No, I didn't poo-poo. If you listen back to the audio, what I said was, that's a lot of kale. Yeah, no, but you said it negatively. That's a bale of kale. I would have gone higher.

Yeah, I know. You put your crock there. I would have gone higher because he poo-pooed you. I didn't poo-poo anybody. I just exclaimed, it's a lot of kale. You've done us dirty there. Even at that small amount, that's a lot of kale. That is insane amounts.

It's 11 and a half kgs. And it's the weight of the average two-year-old human. Not cooked. Raw kale. Raw. So it's the human. It's the human cooked when you're measuring them. How do you eat that much kale?

It's the two-year-old steamed or fried. The two-year-old is raw like the kale. Okay, right. All right. Eight minutes. How? I have no idea. 408 ounces.

Are they allowed to have water to wash it down? How did you have room in the tummy? No, actually, how did you have room in the tummy? That's what I'm saying. Everything about this record is amazing. Yeah. Okay. It seems unreal.

It does. I've checked. I said, did this wrong, and I Googled it, and I found the name, and another one, 408 ounces converted to grams, 11 and a half kilograms. Do you think tomorrow we can have a cheese-based eating factor? We're going to have a cheese-based. Do you have something for tomorrow lined up? Yes, please.

Because I ate a lot of cheese. I was going to do mayonnaise. With the gut health. Oh, okay. The mayonnaise are okay. I like mayonnaise, but just eating too much of it. Yeah. I'm just going to chuck this out here now

because I'm going to do cheese tomorrow. Okay. I'll find one. In eight minutes, Oleg Zhudlinsky ate the equivalent of 80 golf balls worth of mayonnaise in eight minutes. Some weird measurement. 128 ounces, which is three and a half kilograms of mayonnaise. How did this guy eat 11 and a half kilograms of kale? I don't know where it went.

Was he pooping in between? And would you be allowed to use a straw with the mayonnaise? Why would you straw a mayonnaise? It's too thick to suck through a straw. Not if you've got a good hoover. Like a boba tea? Yeah. A boba tea.

Because that's what they're always saying about, oh, Carl Fletcher, he could suck mayonnaise through a straw. You're good, ain't good, you. It's too thick. He's got one hell of a hoover on him. They call him the human hoover. Boy, oh boy, he's got one hell of a hoover. Suck best man's mayonnaise through a bloody straw.

What am I going to make my own tea straw? Nah, skinny straw, mate. Not even a frozen coke straw. Yeah, not even a thickie. Not even a thick straw. Just a stock standard. A paper straw you could do. Anyway.

So today's fact of the day, and the hardest to believe. Yes. Is that the world record for the amount of kale eaten in eight minutes is the same weight as a two-year-old eleven and a half kilograms. Clay.

ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Now I know yesterday I promised you a cheese-based fact of the day for eating fact, like world records. Yes. Then I started researching and I was like, this is just far more interesting. Joey Chestnut, according to MajorLeagueEating.com, is the number one in the world at eating.

Okay. Joey Chestnut, you've probably heard him. He's the guy that always wins the hot dog eating competition. Yeah, I have. And looking at this list, going through, Americans, fairly well represented. Yeah. Florida, Georgia, Las Vegas.

But then number four is James Webb from Sydney, Australia. Oh. Thought that was very interesting. Mayur Ibn Hara from Japan is in at place 11. Female. Now, it's not until you, if you were scrolling down the list until you get to number 26, Eric Badlands Booker, that you would come across someone

that you're like, that would be classed as obese. Which is pretty crazy. You can get that far down the list of the world's best competitive eaters who specialise in eating as much as they can in the shortest time as possible. A lot of them are stick thin. I don't know where they fit it. Well, Joey Chestnut's 40 years old,

and yeah, he just doesn't look like a competitive eater. Do they train? Yeah, you'd have to burn it off, right? No, but I mean train to eat that much food, not like train to burn it off. You lift some weights afterwards. Yeah, they might be doing that, um, what's it called? Fasting.

No, but your stomach shrinks. The only thing they eat all day is this insane stuff. No, yeah, no, they definitely try to stretch their stomachs, but they'd have to do physical exercise. The calorie intake's insane. He has, the reason he's number one is he has so many

records for eating. Okay. I'm going to go over a few of them now. Okay. He ate 141 hard-boiled eggs in eight minutes. Jeez, that's a lot of protein. He ate 45 pulled pork sandwiches in 10 minutes. Oh, my God, 45 sandwiches. Yum, pulled pork.

He ate 53 soft-beef tacos, the Taco Bell ones, in 10 minutes. He is the world record holder in the men's division of 76 Nathan's famous hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. That's the famous hot dog eating. Right. He ate 103 Crystal Burgers,

which are hamburgers from Crystals, in eight minutes. Eight minutes. He ate 182 chicken wings in 30 minutes. And you know American chicken wings are like huge. Big inflated pumped up chickens.

He ate 13.7 pounds of pork rib meat in 12 minutes. Yum. Phenomenal amount. Ribs. Do you think he had the little dipping bowl? Oh, to wash his fingers. I don't think he cared about his sticky fingers. I reckon he just wiped his face at the end. Yeah.

In 10 minutes, he ate 23 meat pies. Oh my God. How? Someone check this guy's cholesterol levels. It must be through the roof. It's nerve-wracking. Fish tacos. Yum!

He ate 30 fish tacos in five minutes. What? He ate 118 jalapeno poppers in 10 minutes. Jalapenos. You're saying that wrong. You're saying that wrong. Jalapenos. Jalapenos.

Pupers. Jalapeno poppers in 10 minutes. Jalapenos, you're saying that wrong. You're saying that wrong, yes. Jalapenos. Jalapenos. Pupers. Jalapeno pupers. I bet he pooped a jalapeno or two after that. Good God. He had 121 Twinkies. You know Twinkies? Yeah, I know them. They're like those.

Like soft, yeah. Skinny, fit, pretty, usually under 30. No, that's. You'll think of something else. Oh, sorry. They're like these cream filled,, ultra-processed sponge logs. They are disgusting. He had 121 of those in six minutes.

Oh, yuck. They fell. Like a lot of dairies have them. They're just imported from America. He ate 18 and a half canteen sandwiches in 10 minutes. What, like canteen? Just normal. It's a place that sells these. 18 and a half canteen sandwiches in 10 minutes. What, like just normal? It's a place that sells these.

He ate 47 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes. That's too many sandwiches. He ate 28 pounds. Now, I don't know how 28 pounds is. Can we all please just get on a universal? America's literally the only country that is still doing miles and pounds. Which is so weird. 12.7 kilograms of poutine in 10 minutes.

Yum. I haven't had poutine in so long. It's so good. He ate whole turkeys. How is he still alive, this man? It's no good, eh? It's not good. No.

It's not good. He ate, if we're talking, oh, that's not right. He ate 4.2 kilograms of turkey. So he just got stuck into a turkey, basically. Yeah. And he ate 4.2 kilograms of it in 10 minutes. Okay. Okay, yeah.

I've lost a bit of respect. I'm hungry, but also disgusted. I'm so hungry for poutine. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I just want one more because it's apple pie

so it's a sweet one these apple pies weighed 1.3 kilograms jeez and he ate four and a half of them oh my god

cool hobby man the dude he ate 10 cups of ramen noodles in 1 minute 50 that's insane that's next level.

Yeah. That's insanity. That's crazy. So today's fact of the day, to finish off competitive eating week. This man nearly dead. This man,

age of 40, we don't know how long he's going to be with us. Eating like that might not be long at all. The world's greatest eater is Joey Chestnut. Fact of the day,

day, day, day day day
