Mervyn Skilton's big picture in the building of such a media profile with his "Big Merv" persona, is to educate the people of the World about everything that is close to his heart, music, cars, trucks, babes, and beer, and to also help save his marriage, by making a commitment as big and public as this World record attempt, to his wife Shirley Skilton, which began as a bet during their separation, to rectify his past wayward ways.

Big Merv says, "You must keep your dream alive, no matter what your dream is, just bloody well do it if ya want it!". Merv's original dream was bourbon, and he lived his dream to the full extent, until the bourbon got the better of him. Nowadays Big Merv drinks bourbon in moderation, and follows his dreams of helping the less fortunate people and animals of the World, because he was once the underdog many years ago with his troubled past. Merv also says, "if I can do it, so can you, just get of ya backside now ya lazy bastard, and take the first steps towards your dream. If you are lying in bed right now dreaming of a beer, get up of ya fat ass and make ya first few steps towards the fridge, that bloody beer ain't gunna come walking over to you!.. dream it, do it, and do it different than the other nancy boys!"
