when did the McDonald's um story happen so in 2012 I was the team Ops for the New Zealand men's football team that
00:00:07
went to the London Olympics if you've ever been to Olympic Games you go to the
00:00:10
athlete Village there's whatever food that you want and there's a McDonald's
00:00:14
in there cuz they're an official partner together with the physio Roland Jeffrey
00:00:17
who's another early guest of ours on the podcast we decided that we would have a
00:00:20
cheeseburger eating competition to see who could eat the most and yeah sure enough one after one these cheeseburgers
00:00:25
started coming out and like the lads were all around you had 18 players like six some of the other New Zealand staff
00:00:31
had come down it was just eight and eight and eight The Story Goes that the black sticks hockey team wrote a formal
00:00:36
complaint to the New Zealand Olympic Committee that the New Zealand under 23 men's football team didn't take
00:00:42
competition seriously they were all leading McDonald's before the competition and it was they were just
00:00:47
treating it like a big joke I can't believe I've set through the cheeseburger story again
