Thursday morning, December 21st, Week 16 in the National Football League,

it's the beating in the book podcast, Megapod.

Week 16, my God, three weeks left in the NFL season.

It's Gil Alexander.

We welcome in the crew, our staples on the show, back to his mom's cork attic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He loves when I say that. It's Todd Wischinaver, everybody. How you doing, Todd? Hi, Gil. How are you? I'm doing great. A lot of requests for Christmas songs from you today. Can we expect some Christmas songs on the show? You know, I don't really like being prompted to be perfectly honest.

I understand.

I understand.

You're an organic, natural kind of guy.

Not from his mom's quark attic, but in front of a big wall that has decent logos all over it.

It is the star of not only this podcast, but also the Bear Betts podcast with Chris Felica on Fox. Will Hill is Haddon. Gilly, boys, what's going on? Excited as always. It's funny. I joked that last week I might have had the worst pick in Megapod history because I had under Jags Browns, I think it was 31 and a half, and both teams almost got the over by

themselves. I think I outdid myself. I had the under that Raiders Chargers game last week, and that one did not get home. So let's see what I got hooked up for today. It just missed, Will. It just missed. What was the final? 602 to 21. What was the final league game? 6321

6321 yeah well you know

Will there's always a third week to final 60, 62 to 21. What was the final leg game? 63.21.

63.21.

Yeah.

Well, you know, Will, there's always a third week to continue that streak.

But it's better to lose like that.

It is.

Just get crushed.

Yeah.

And our rotating guests this week who reminded me that this is his first non-week 18 appearance on the podcast, after which I spiraled into drugs, depression, and alcohol, because I felt like I was totally rude.

From Yahoo Sports, it's Frank Schwab. It's our old buddy. How you know, Frank?
