Roger Guy English is an American businessman[1] and disc jockey who achieved seven Guinness World Records in San Diego County in less than three years during the 1970s.
[4] In 1970, English walked from his home in La Jolla, California to Vancouver, Canada[5] with his cousin, Valerie Mays, in hopes of spreading awareness about environmental pollution and smog.
This started his desire to attempt setting world records[5] such as throwing 200 bottles with messages into the ocean[8] and living in a car on a dealer's lot for a month.
[16][12] In 1974, English set the record for sleeplessness after a waterbed shop[13] on University Avenue wanted to play part in his attempts by allowing him to do it in their front window.
[24] In 2021, filmmaker Tyler J. French recorded over 60 hours of footage of English for a documentary about him called Full Tilt Boogie, Daddy-O.
