Local Man Shatters World Record for Longest Burp in BozemanLocal Man Shatters World Record for Longest Burp in Bozeman Bozeman, Montana – A local man has made history by breaking the world record for the longest human burp. Angus “Big Al” Thompson, 33, unleashed an earth-shattering belch that lasted an astonishing 4 minutes and 23 seconds. The previous record, set in 2018 by a man from Ireland, stood at 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Thompson’s record-breaking feat occurred during an impromptu burping contest at Bozeman’s annual “Burpalooza” festival. Witnesses gasped in awe as he inhaled an entire pint of carbonated soda and proceeded to produce a continuous stream of gas from his stomach. “It was like a symphony of burps,” exclaimed festival organizer Marsha Jenkins. “I’ve never heard anything like it in my life.” Thompson, a self-proclaimed “professional burper,” revealed that he had been practicing for this moment for months. “I knew I could do it,” he said. “I’ve been gulping down soda and beans like there’s no tomorrow.” According to medical experts, the ability to burp for extended periods is a result of a combination of factors, including a large stomach capacity, strong abdominal muscles, and a relaxed esophageal sphincter. However, Thompson attributes his success to his love of spicy pretzels and an unwavering determination. “I’m just glad I could bring some joy to the world during these trying times,” he said. “After all, who doesn’t appreciate a good, old-fashioned burp?” Thompson’s record-breaking burp has become a viral sensation, with millions of people sharing and commenting on videos of the event. He has been invited to appear on numerous television and radio shows, where he has demonstrated his incredible ability and shared his passion for the art of burping. The town of Bozeman is now considering erecting a statue in Thompson’s honor, recognizing him as a true legend in the annals of humanity’s most gaseous achievements.
