Thursday morning, December 14th, 2023, it is the beating the book podcast week number 15 in the National Football League.

It's Gil Alexander, live from Bar Canada at the D with our regular staples on the show from his mom's.

I don't know.

Where is that?

It's not as Cork Attic anymore.

That looks like a beautiful downstairs area of his mom's house. It's Todd Wishnan. How you doing,

man? I'm doing great. I'm really not growing tired of the constant talk of where I'm doing the show

from. But thank you, Gilly. I just said I was doing it from Bar Canada.

Why can't I say where you're doing it from?

You can. You can say whatever you want, Gil. It's all good. We're off to a, we're off to a rating start. Will Hill joins us. How you doing, Willie? Gilly, what's going on? It's only a few weeks left, so this is not the prettiest slate ever, but this is life in the NFL of 2023.

Sure is.

By the way, Todd Wischnev at T. Wichnev, T-W-I-S-H-N-V on Twitter, star of the Showtime DocuSeries action.

And Will Hill at not the Will Hill, that's Two E's and The, who's also on the Bear Betts podcast, Chris Felica's College and Pro Football Podcast, which he does every week. Have you enjoyed doing those podcasts, Will, this year? No, it's horrible. It's the worst. No, it's a lot of fun. I really enjoy it. Of course. it's um like i said football season only a month left you just you get into the rhythm you start like

late august or always september you look up and it's this really enjoy it. Of course. Like I said, football season only a month left. You just, you get into

the rhythm. You start like late August, totally September. You look up and it's December. It's kind of a bummer. It's definitely to be a void. You know, once you get to the playoffs, which is like a month away, not before away, it's a different feel where it's just a couple games a week. You sort of beat the same games to death.

It's a different vibe when you don't have that full regular NFL Sunday, which to me is the best.

That 3.30 to death. It's a different vibe when you don't have that full regular NFL Sunday, which to me is the best. That 3.30 to 430 Eastern where all the games are ending, the late ones are starting. You don't get that during the playoffs. As great as the playoffs are, I really like the Sunday NFL regular season. Well, Wild Card Week and Division round week are still cool.

But it's after that, right?

Like, after the division, when it's like, oh, my God, there's only three games left, period.

Then the depression sinks in. But, you know, by that time, we'll have the Australian Open. So for the tennis hardos, we'll be on to something else. and joining us today,

which I hope is an annual appearance,
