Dave says he can gain ten pounds in two hours. Benny says there’s no chance. They decide to settle it the only way that makes sense: with a bet. What follows is a rollercoaster discussion about math, pizza weight, digestion, and whether any of this is remotely possible. There are rules. There is a scale. There is a lot of food. It goes from joking to concerning and back again, and Jay Shetty comes by to weigh in (sorry) towards the end. That’s basically the episode. Thanks for watching!
