“The smell that started coming forward, the back of the plane had a lot of people. There were people falling out of their seats and into the aisles. Gagging, puking, crying, screaming, and we were all falling on the floor laughing ourselves sick. I couldn’t breathe. He must have half filled up a garbage bag full of s**t,” Beefcake further described.

He disclosed that the Giant used to eat over 20 pounds of meals per city and would take a dump of the same amount.
