This Man has been eating ONLY Pizza for 25 Years | Free Doc Bites | Free Documentary

[Music] we're in Baltimore on the American East Coast here we want to meet Dan Jensen the man who has allegedly only eaten pizza for the past 25 years we met of course in a pizzeria and wanted to know firsthand is it really true I've been eating pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner every day for 25 years 99.9% of my diet is pizza and cheese pizza I don't like toppings 3 cheese pizzas per day that surely can't be healthy although we have to admit that the 40-year old looks in pretty good shape dan is aware of how radical his diet is I'm here to encourage all kids you don't need eat healthy children you need to eat pizza pizza is a wonderful you have your vegetables in the sauce you have your cheese which dairy and then you have your carbohydrates for energy so I know it's not good to have carbohydrates these days they're sort of a push against it but I say go for it this approach has made down really famous in the pizzeria he's treated as a guest of honor with whom the cooks also like to pose for a picture on the Internet dan is celebrated by hard pizza lovers as a hero the man who has eaten almost 30,000 pizzas so far has become a media phenomenon and that sometimes brings bizarre results it can be overwhelming probably the most unusual request I got was from South Korean national television wanted either me to go there or them to come here and interview me because they said I disproved to the Western conspiracy against green and they planted me to sort of do propaganda for them for their country I turned that down then gets his injection ready after the meal because he's a diabetic he has to inject a dose of insulin after each meal we're dumbfounded shouldn't he be eating a lot more responsibly with diabetes and eat more balanced food thank you later we'll go with him to a doctor for a thorough examination but first shopping in the supermarket relatively straightforward for the pizza man first he goes to the freezers he gets frozen pizza for the next few weeks [Music] so typical week I probably get four or five of these just a bit back up to have Dan isn't eating gourmet pizza at the moment the frozen pizzas are a perfect lunch when he doesn't have time to stop by the pizzeria but for tonight he's invited guests over and there will even be baked pizza and since not all his friends only like cheese pizza he also has to buy something for toppings vegetables for example that's not easy for down the only one that I'm familiar with this the green kind of peppery no I didn't even know they made orange members don't right now no I would never never why what advantage this is just like it's like eating a green sponge I would never I can give my vitamins from a Flintstones slowly we realize that Dan has a real problem he's easily disgusted especially by vegetables pizza isn't just his passion he hardly likes anything else beyond that his lifestyle is pretty healthy by the way as a carpenter he spends a lot of time on his feet in addition he works out several times a week this helps him in coping with over 4,000 Pizza calories per day Dan likes his pizza in a very American Way lots of dough lots of tomato sauce and extra cheese what he doesn't like is our version all the German Pete's I tried was terrible maybe they got their pizza game going maybe they changed maybe I didn't go to the right restaurants but I did try pizza in Germany and the guy who only eats pizza frozen you know for the past 25 years when I was in Germany I eat pretzels the fatty American pizza is ready after 12 minutes in the oven up next come to vegetable pizzas for the guests a difficult task for the man who is so disgusted by vegetables it's a good thing that Dan's wife is here she's a vegetarian and wants to help her husband with the preparation a pretty tough affair I think that's going to be gross on pizza but I know the trend today is to eat gross things so let's do it Madeline and Dan have been married for two years and she's been trying to move her husband away from the exclusive pizza diet for at least as long so far without success I was at first I wasn't bothered by it at all really I thought that's fine you know everyone has their own weird eating habits but now I do kind of worry about the way that it affects its his health if not now then later on down the line is she right we'll check it out later at the doctor's visit but for now the guests arrived friends that Dan has known since his childhood he grew up in Baltimore they assured us that Dan has been eating almost nothing but pizza since he was 15 years old I wasn't shocked that we were having pizza I'm shocked that he made the pizza but I know when I come here it's gonna be pizza namely cheese pizza the classic pizza margherita here in America it's usually soggy a-- and thicker than ours but it's well-received by the group but what about the vegetable pizza dan is actually trying a bite for his wife's sake and yeah it's good you can eat the rest Dan sticks to the cheese pizza it's surprisingly not so bad nutritionally Pizza contains carbohydrates in the dough minerals and vitamins in the tomato sauce calcium and protein in the cheese but cheese is fatty 30 grams per pizza almost half an adult's daily requirement and a cheese pizza has very little fiber you should eat 30 to 50 grams per day preferably from whole grains fruits and vegetables but Dan never eats it so does he have symptoms of a specific deficiency we want to find out from the doctor I am a little bit nervous every time I go to the doctor the worst thing that she can tell me would be that I have to stop eating pizza we'll see Dan is now undergoing a thorough checkup for us he gave a blood sample a few days ago now we'll know how his pizza only diet really affects his body power his digestion and cholesterol levels and how much does a pizza diet affect his diabetes the results are in good or bad news for Dan right now you know as a 40 year old with insulin dependent diabetes you're doing extremely well it's not a vitamin complete diet you are getting your basic energy sources there and because it's a high-fat food that's probably helping you with keeping your blood sugar more stable blood levels and cholesterol everything okay to our surprise Dan is very healthy nevertheless the doctor gives him a warning doing this has been very helpful for him but I wouldn't recommend this for for anybody unless they checked with their doctors you know it's a lot of fast foods high fat unhealthy fats and brillouin and vegetables so vegetables are such heart-healthy things if you're gonna do greens doing whole grains conclusion a pizza diet almost without vitamins and fiber is not recommended Dan is an exception he's relatively young and active as a diabetic he has to control his diet for him such a one-sided diet isn't wrong it was sort of reassuring to hear that confirmation and as she said there there are things that I can improve things I can work on but it was a relief now the pizza king has no real reason to eat anything else [Music] will I ever get sick of pizza I hope that day never comes and if it does put a bullet in my head [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Breaking Bad is my favorite show of all time, and hearing The 808 Track in the scene where Jesse walks back into his "party house" and takes a 2004 e-girl upstairs to play video games w/ him always puts a smile on my face. It's not that "random," because it's actually quite fitting - but worth mentioning.

Last year they'd play Dream Catcher on commercial breaks during like Sunday Night Football lol

They also had "You & Me" as the backdrop for Barstool Sport's 2019 official highlights video.

Was re-watching Silicon Valley with the GF and “Lost in the Crowd” came on at the end of an episode, low key lost my shit.

Timestretch in CSI:Miami is my all-time favorite occurrence lol

[u/3sexy5u]

From the video description: "Breakfast, lunch, dinner: it’s pizza pizza pizza for Dan Jansen. We asked ourselves: isn’t this unbalanced diet really unhealthy? We visit the passionate pizza guy in, where else, the USA."

At 1:18 in, after describing how pizza is pretty much the perfect food (its got the whole triangle), they drop "Nothing Has Been Broken".

I thought my SoundCloud app had glitched and was playing along with the video, such a random song choice LOL.

Anyone else have examples of random BN songs popping up in videos (fitting or otherwise)?

[u/bvsshevd]

They used a BN track (think it was loco ono remix?) in an episode of the leftovers on HBO

If you haven’t seen the leftovers, do yourself a favor. It’s one of the best shows ever created

But also I’ve heard BN songs played in the stadiums of many sporting events, just about every one I’ve been to and many I see on TV

[u/LauraTheBassplorer]

I got so intrigued about the video and had to watch the entire thing lol

[u/FirstmateJibbs]

there's some ship video on youtube that has timestretch over it lmao

[u/mandude15555]

They played "Now" (or another NvB track) in an episode of "Superstore" right before the employees destroyed the store.
