Is the truck thing at the end fake?
Looks badly acted.

Probably not. It was a common strongman stunt up until a few decades ago. Patera was always known for being odd on the mic, etc....

Cool guy/video, though.

The stunt (truck) more dangerous than anything (like if he slipped and got pinned, etc).
I spent an evening of drinking with Ken and Wilhelm around 10 years ago at a convention. (After it was over).
Both guys are hilarious...

I doubt if he liked McDonald's after he went to prison.
