| 0:00.0 | This is You Better You Bet with Nick Costos, Femi Abeefay, and the crew on the BetMGM Network. |
| 0:11.3 | Make it legendary. |
| 0:13.5 | It's possible that in 20 minutes we'll start talking about the NFL division leaders. |
| 0:18.8 | Will they win their division? |
| 0:19.9 | We still have to do our basketball bets and thoughts on the NBA and college hoops, both tonight and tomorrow, NBA Cup. I'd also like to talk about the Street Fighter 2 movie trailer that came out that I I'm going to see it's, I know it's going to be bad and I'm going to love it. And I'm literally going to see it the night it comes out. And I want to roll it by the crew and see what they think. That's coming up later in the show and our football bets week 15 in the NFL where Tyler Morales will try and get all the injury reports correct and see if he is smarter than artificial intelligence. We will find out. But joining us right now here on the show, one of our absolute favorites, one of my absolute favorites. |
| 0:54.9 | The great John Jistremski of the Ringer. New York, New York is the New York-centric podcast. If you love New York sports, you have to subscribe to New York, New York, wherever you get your podcasts. And he's the frontman for all of the ringers, sports betting coverage and gambling coverage. You can watch it. I know we're a bad MGM show, but there are other sports books, |
| 1:11.8 | Fandall TV, and other places, Spotify, etc. Our friend John J.J., welcome back to the show. What's going on? You know, I need to hire you and put you on the payroll for these outstanding introductions. Like anytime I'm walking around Brooklyn or Staten Island, can I just have like the Nick Costo's voiceover of that introduction, just following me on the golf course at Starbucks. It would be a nice ego booster. Just saying, buddy boy. Do you, because you don't live in, I live in, you're from Staten Island. I'm not, but I live there now. You don't live in Staten Island anymore, right? I don't. I live in Brooklyn, but I find myself in Staten Island minimum once, probably twice a week |
| 1:50.0 | for child care purposes, obviously. My mom is very, very helpful. Yes, the end, yes, the |
| 1:54.9 | follow-up question was going to be why. So that is a very good answer to the question. Childcare and |
| 2:00.4 | golf. Those would probably be my two reasons for being back on style on a regular basis. And they usually go hand in hand for what it's worth. Fair enough. Drop the kid off, go to the golf courts. When you think about the best golf court, the best, you know, the best cities for golf in the country, obviously Staten Island is one of the first that comes up. I guess they do have some pretty decent golf courses. All these bougie golf courses in Long Island and New Jersey. And, you know, I find myself at the working man Silver Lake. But hey, Nikki, when it's eight minutes from where your parents live and you don't get in a whole lot of trouble with the home front, that's what I'm talking about. I love it. Before we do some football here, I've been asking everybody this question today. And just so you know what's spurred it. So I'm living in my in-laws right now in just off Toad Hill and Dungen Hills in Staten Island, just because you're from there, you'll, you'll know that. And long story short, the way that the TV area is set up or like I watch games and play video games. |
| 2:52.3 | Sometimes I sit on the floor to play video games because it gives |
| 2:56.1 | me the best view of the television, right? And it's like my daughter's play mad. I'm not like |
| 2:59.7 | on the floor. I'm like a really comfortable mat. And my foot will fall asleep every single time |
| 3:05.4 | I sit down to play. And that bleep hurts, man. If I gave you |
| 3:10.5 | $50,000, but both of your feet are asleep for a full month, are you taking the money? |
| 3:19.0 | No, I'm not. I know it's going to sound absolutely insane, but I can feel your pain, whether it's being in my apartment, whether it's a situation being on the toilet, not to get graphic. |
| 3:31.7 | But when the foot falls asleep and my wife will see me walking around saying, what in God's name is wrong with you? |
| 3:39.7 | And I'm like biting my tongue and I can't walk |
| 3:42.9 | and I look like an absolute hot mess. Yeah, I don't think the money would do me a whole lot of good. |
| 3:48.8 | I don't know how I would deal with that pain for a month. I don't think it would be feasible, |
| 3:53.3 | reasonable, powerful, no. I don't I don't buy the great, but rolling three words in a row with a bull at the end, |
| 3:59.8 | just off the top of his head was very impressive. I don't know if my foot's ever fall asleep on the toilet, and I don't know if I want to ask a follow-up question here. So I think we can move on and talk some football. No comment. I plead the fifth. That's an interesting one. Let's hit up. |
