Mike Jack holds 19 Guinness World Records for devouring spicy foods and sauces, including one with his wife.

Earlier this year, Jack ate a habanero pepper, and then the couple held a kiss for 15 minutes and 6.5 seconds, according to the Guinness World Records.

He says they have had the chance to travel the world together.

“When I first started out, I never thought it would get this crazy being a world traveller just for eating spicy stuff,” says Jack.

Jack built up a YouTube channel on eating some of the spiciest foods on earth, like Carolina Reapers.

And they have visited Bulgaria, Prague, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, and did a documentary in Mexico last year.

And now some people recognize him on the street from the record book and multiple TV appearances.

He’s appeared in:

• “Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People” on Hulu/Disney+
• “We are the Champions” on Netflix
• “Lo Show dei Record,” which is the Guinness World Record show in Italy
• “Al Chile” on Vix
• and his very own show “Jack up the Heat” on Rogers TV London.

He says he is basically one of the X-Men.

“I was born with a superpower, and that superpower is, I’ve actually never experienced a burned butt before. I’ve never had it. I’ve heard that can be a genetic mutation.”
