Just hoping that Luke shows up all roided out and dressed in a “New Sheriff In Town” type of WWE costume complete with a 10 gallon hat, kissing his biceps as he degrades Gil along the way.
Years ago, Saturday Night Live did a segment on “Weekend Update” spoofing the “All-Drug Olympics.” Phil Hartman (I think) was a weightlifter lifting a ridiculous amount of weight, hopped up on steroids. I’m kind of hoping for the same outcome here.https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/update-all-drug-olympics/n9691
Is Henry a Seinfeld fan? Many parallels to The English Patient episode Izzy Mandelbaum plot, right down to the #1 Dad shirt*. “You think you can lift more than me?? It’s go time!”
Sheriff Luke strained so hard, his rectum prolapsed. Don’t worry, there’s already an ambulance en route for Gil’s two dislocated shoulders.
*"Well, I don’t know how official any of these rankings really are."
“# 1 Dad” tank-top shirt is Gil’s Christmas present after he bought Mimi a $5 K diamond necklace, Keri a $2 K laptop computer, and Jami a $1 K gaming system for their presents.
P1 “Great work, but you know you could have lifted more weight using both arms rather than your teeth, don’t you?”
P2 “Take a breather, Rod. Oh, and thanks for the cartridges, I’m going to take a vape break. Gil, you’re “up” if that’s what you call it hee-hee!”
P3 Gil thought bubble: “Mimi’s always calling me “Tiny”. I think I’m going to hang one of these weights on it to stretch it out and surprise her later.”
P-1: This lifter is taken to the hospital. Not only did he fail to breath, he’s also sitting at an angle to the weight and has just ripped every core muscle in his body.
P-2: The girl with the Middle Eastern Hair and the Black Kid named Rod make a major Micro-aggression against the Italian readers.
P-3: In typical GT fashion, Gil waits until it’s his turn to “get ready” or as normal fans call it “warm up”. Suddenly, an ominous voice is heard, piquing no one’s curiosity.
Wow, BHHL must be a genius. He is surprised to find Gil Thorp at a fair that is raising money for Milford Athletics. And speaking of genius, you don’t have to be a genius to get a kick out of Mopped Up Thorp. In fact the lower IQ the better.

It’s going to be difficult to wait until tomorrow to find out who’s talking off panel to Gil.

I see Gil is pulling the ol’ Styrofoam weights switcheroo.

My gosh, the spotter is behind the lifter. Or there is only one spotter on the right. If the lifter fails he is going to get hurt

Wait, so Emmett only raised $40? Does that mean he lifted a whopping 40 pounds? Guess he’s really let himself go since his professional athlete days.
