\"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
For those who don't know, Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari have a show called "I Bet You" where they just make proposition bets all day and have fun doing it. The show airs in InHD (now called MojoHD), so unless you have digital cable you probably don't get it.

But don't worry, the entire first episode is available for viewing on the website. Pretty decent stuff.

Those are just small clips. The 25 minute episode has a link to it on the top right of the page.

Saw it on the mojo network monday, thought it was pretty funny. Good stuff.

I thought it was horrible, i was honestly disappointed. Antonio has the personality of a Rock, and although Phil could become a goos TV personality some day if he was coached better, at this point he doesn't have it. The show was boring and pretentious. Mind you I'd like pretentious if the hosts were better, but as is its little more than a 30 min webcast shown on cable - D+.

Either way, -D+ is the craziest grade I've ever seen. If one of my teachers gave me that grade I'd assume they we're hitting the crack pipe...again.

Naaaa... me and my friends were excited to see it, and were disappointed. It was mildly entertaining at best, it was not funny.

I'll agree with you on mildly entertaining at best.

I enjoyed it. It was better than I expected it to be.

I thought it was funny, hadn't seen any finished episodes previously.

I will be in one of the Las Vegas episodes.. and will probably really embarass myself.

I laughed out loud a couple times. I enjoyed it a lot. Would definitely watch again. TT is a poopyhead.

It was good for what it was. Hopefully Laak and Antonio get more comfortable in front of the camera, because there was a lot of awkwardness. The fountain race was good.

Thought it was great and I hate phil laak. I cant stand him on HSP. But it was pretty enjoyable to watch. I like the short bet alot more than the longer ones. I dont know how many episodes you could make of this but a few would be great.

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
i laughed hard at this. much better than i expected although i did expect it to be good. great show. btw, ive been an antonio/laak fan prior to the show so im partially biased.

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
all i can say is the home poker game those 3 guys play in must be soft.

Not a fan of either; they come off Dbagish on TV, however here it was kind of fun to watch. I will watch again. I wish the stakes actually mattered though; I mean 500-2k on bets is weak.

I expected this show to be total weaksuace, but it turned out to be good. Will def watch again.

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
I thought it was pretty good. I would watch it every week.

I got a chance to meet them both in the bahamas (antonio was at my friends table, and phil was all over the place). They both are actually really funny and nice guys and the show was right about what i expected. There were moments that made me laugh and it was all around enjoyable, I will be looking forward to seeing future episodes.

Also would be nice if they start uping the bet amounts to like 2-5k

The thing that struck me was:

Phil Laak can afford a Bentley?!

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
I thought it was a little better version of the show that Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok used to do (not sure if they still do it) on rawvegas.tv, Laak has potential to be a personality on TV, I think they need better things to wager on as well as raising the stake a little

Did Laak call "bro" a shorthaired woman with a Marbury shirt?

-Antonio is such a pimp, pullin chicks DURING a bet. Big fan of that.

-Bentley was vn, gotta be leasing that right?

-On the show itself: Every1 getting their hopes high these days are gonna be let down by mediocrity. Go in not expecting much and "I Bet You" will enjoy it as much as I did. Good show, props.

Thanks OP - I thought it was great! Degenerate and Hilarious. That is what I am looking for - not freaking CSPAN for crying out loud. Thanks for the links!

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
I thought it was okay. Would prolly get old quick.

Funny, Antonio and Laak are two guys most seem to either love or hate. I like both guys, although Phil's hyperactivity can get a little out of hand.

Understandable mistake. Even when they showed a close up of her, I wasn't sure.

Liked the show alot.. very funny.

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
it was good except for the fact that neither one of them know what a "thong" is.

ICallHimGamblor 05-10-2007 03:08 PM

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
Yeah, that was a hilarious starting point for a bet: "I bet she's wearing panties."

chucksim 05-10-2007 03:32 PM

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
Wasn't too bad considering I can't stand 1.5 of these guys (Phil's tolerable about 1/2 the time; Antonio never).

Since Mr. TT is handing out grades, I'd give it a C+. I'll watch a few more and likely get sick of it.

IHaveStrong9 05-10-2007 04:29 PM

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
Explain yourself, I found zero awkwardness in this show.

The funniest and most awkward moment on the show by far. I'm surprised they let it stand, she must be a butch queen - she kinda liked it!

A better wager would have been "who can bang this chick first". My sense is she would have been up for some action.

Re: \"I Bet You\", Laak and Antonio\'s show
 
This show is solid!

Phil Laak: "I hope they don't show a tally or anything like that"

Next frame: Big $ bill graphic flips in and shows a counter uping Antonio's total 500$.
