and and we're just putting you directly
on the spot right now and asking for a
pledge I think many hundreds of
thousands of people are listening maybe
even a quarter for every person I don't
know
uh we're we're asking you last year you
gave 18,000 and you received 12 plush
five ises in the mail uh immediately
after uh after the after the segment and
this year we're hoping that you'd be
able to up that
pledge so I'll tell you what Freddy I
was thinking when when you me to me
before that uh how how excited and
delighted you were with my $18,000 I
actually thought of uh of what I'd like
my pledge to be this year um and this is
this is what I'd like to pledge or
especially since it's such a vital
organization it's so needed um and uh it
is so deserving of stock gu and this is
what I'd like to do um uh from today or
I guess from tomorrow morning or this
morning um I will
give uh
$22,000 for every pound that Freddy
loses by next
[Applause]
year I'm not sure what everybody's
clapping about not sure clapping about
and what happens if I gain 12 PBS do we
need to send you a check oh hold on one
second am I am I I just want to make
sure I'm right you if you lose 100
pounds that's $200,000 to right okay so
here's what I'm going to tell you the
chances of Freddy losing 200 200 100
pounds is just as good as him fitting to
economy seat um on an
airplane more practical level I think Ur
would be a lot happier with an
$18,000 and and speaking on behalf of
the organization the last person we want
to have this uh um resting on this deal
rest on is Freddy
well let me tell you something I know
Freddy cares about Urus so much because
he comes on the he comes on the show
every year and I'm I'm G to make it
easier and I'm G to say the he doesn't
have to be that weight next year because
we all know he's not going to keep it
off
that's almost being ridiculous you're
right he cares about Ura but he cares
about breakfast lunch and supper a lot
more but I'll tell you something the the
the most weight he loses between now and
next year so even if he let's say loses
30 lbs or 40 lbs and then uh comes back
into those pizza shops that rever him so
much uh and starts gaining a back I will
give uh $2,000 per pound at the highest
uh or at the lowest weight uh that he
was this is for you also the entire Ur
is sweating right now we need you do we
have we should have a weigh-in right now
though if someone can get a scale we
want to get him scale one second I just
have to I just want to say I got get one
second I just got to get in the website
is closing at 225 that's 6 minutes to um
to donate it's the it's the .org you
could still call in at 8777 auction 877
7 auction did not to put you on the spot
but I have a shil on your on your on
your on your stickle that you said
giving a donation to us through Freddy
like that is probably Rivers Plus in my
humble opinion
well I'll tell you what I I I will give
you I'll give you a choice honestly I'll
give you a choice I will either give uh
lay that offer on the table or I will
just give
$50,000 my a to
you one of those anesthesia shots get
them into an operating room and do the
band the sleeve and all the other things
all together for the fourth
time have to go right over that first
band so your
health all the that has given you the
the made you the and make and all that
that you've
had needs you to continue making the and
we need you uh to remain healthy and
skinny like me you want to be skinny

going to give you a it's going to be the
50 you and you can't choose afterwards
