Thursday morning, September 8th, 2022, it is the beating the book podcast, Megabod, week

number one of the national football league season, It's Gil Alexander. Year number 12 of the

Megapod. By the way, guessing lines going into its 13th season starting on Monday. This is

legitimately shocking to me. I actually checked this. I was like, how long have I been doing this?

Twelve years for the Megapod. Couldn't be happier. And first and foremost, appreciate all the listeners throughout the years.

You have made this podcast so enjoyable, so awesome, and the numbers are out of control.

So really appreciate that.

And this year, the two staples of the show, you may recognize him from his mom's cork addict somewhere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

90 pounds lighter than he was when we last saw him on the megapod. Todd Wischneb, how you doing, Toddy? How are you doing, Gilly? I'm good. Can you tell everybody 90 pounds and 130 days? You're at a bet with Steve Fezick? Yes? You want to go through all that? Well, real quick, if you could do it, you don't have to give me the long version, the Tolstoy version of it, just give us the nuts and bolts of it. Okay, well, basically, on April 30th, I was 304.6. Yeah. On the 12th day, I made a bet. I was already down to 289 at that point. I made a bet with Steve Fezik, who was 227, 62 pounds lighter than me, that between May 11th of this year, 22 and

May 11th of 23, I could weigh less than him. And obviously, by 62 pounds down, I deserve some

odds. So I have three to one odds, three thousand to win nine thousand that I can

weigh less than him sometime between May 11th of this year and May 11th of next year. The only caveat is if we

both get to 180, it is a push as long as he stays below 185 if I'm still, you know, beneath him. So

that's what the bet was.

And right now, currently, I weigh 215, and he weighs 298, and he weighs 298.

I am only 17 behind after being 62 behind.

He weighs 198.

You weigh 25.

You said 298.

I'm sorry.

So you're a freight train. There's no way you're're a freight train there's no way you're getting a one eighty

there's no way you're gonna pass him he realizes this right i i don't know if he realized i
