Big Mac and Nick Kostos Debate Aaron Boone's World Series Pedigree

**Big Mac** (0:00)
The Carton Show with Big Mac, and Big Mac is here, Craig's out the rest of the week. We got Nick Kostos of You Better, You Bet, Westwood 1 with us today.

**Nick Kostos** (0:08)
It's gonna be a fun day. Good song.

**Big Mac** (0:10)
A little 50 cent.

**Nick Kostos** (0:10)
Yeah, it makes me think about 2003, driving in my mom's Saturn station wagon, blasting Get Rich or Die Trying with the windows down. Thinking I was the coolest person in the world, I was wrong.

**Big Mac** (0:25)
Who was cooler?

**Nick Kostos** (0:26)
Everybody. But at the moment, I felt like the man.

**Big Mac** (0:30)
No, I know.
That was in the middle of my Eminem obsession. When The Eminem Show came out, his third album, I kind of...

**Nick Kostos** (0:39)
It's the Eminem second album I always felt was the best one.

**Big Mac** (0:42)
I think most people...

**Nick Kostos** (0:43)
That Marshall Mathers LP is the best one?

**Big Mac** (0:44)
The Marshall Mathers LP. Most people agree with you. I personally think The Eminem Show, his third one, is his best, but I think that came out right around that same summer, and then he got 50, obviously, to sign on with him, and 50 became a huge thing, but that was right in the middle, and I must have listened, the one song on that is Patiently Waiting, which is...

**Nick Kostos** (1:02)
Can I tell you this? Yeah. Okay, it's a true story. I'm not just saying this because you said that. That is the one song where 50 sent an Eminem. If I were in a coma and woke up after 20 years, and the first thing the doctor said to me was, rap every word of Patiently Waiting, I can rap every single word of that song.

**Big Mac** (1:20)
Yeah. I would not take an Eminem album out of the car until I had every word on the album memorized, but yeah, no, Patiently Waiting, I listen to that song over and over and over. I probably know all the lyrics too.

**Nick Kostos** (1:32)
That's funny. I've been pacing in my head, like a baby born dead, Destination Heaven.

**Big Mac** (1:36)
Yeah, I think I know, yeah, I'm Destination Heaven.

**Nick Kostos** (1:39)
St. Paul will take what I'm more of, 9-11. The Lord's Blessings Leave Me Lyrically Inclined.

**Big Mac** (1:43)
Look at you.

**Nick Kostos** (1:44)
Bleep, I ain't even gotta try to shine. We can do the whole song.

**Big Mac** (1:46)
So you could do the 50 part, I could do the Eminem part.

**Nick Kostos** (1:48)
I could do the Eminem part also.

**Big Mac** (1:49)
Okay, yeah, no, you have the 50 down better than I do, but I think I have the Patiently Waiting to make it through all the hate and debate whether or not you can even weather the storm. Got you laid on the table, they are operating to save you.

**Nick Kostos** (1:59)
It's like an angel came to you from the heavens above.

**Big Mac** (2:03)
Yeah, we have a problem.

**Nick Kostos** (2:04)
Yeah, that's good. You and I. We're sick in the head. Yeah, that's good.

**Big Mac** (2:07)
We're sick in the head. I'm sick in the head. Last night, I'm scoring the Yankee games. I don't know if you know that about me, but I score baseball games at home on my couch because I'm weird.

**Nick Kostos** (2:13)
Well, I mean, I can tell you like the Too Deep for the Arizona Cardinals, so that's probably weird.

**Big Mac** (2:18)
That's where we differ, yeah. But same thing, same kind of thing, but Austin Wells last night, you mentioned it, and just real quick, because I think it deserves a minute, because last night, they're going to lose that game, and their best hitter, Luis Garcia, comes to the plate with the bases loaded, and he does something that I hate, and this is just a pet peeve. Terrible at bat, and I don't know if you were paying attention too much of jazz in the Red Sox series, and the Boston radio broadcast, call on them, all that, right?
The term of unwritten rules came about. Yeah, unprofessional and all that.

**Nick Kostos** (2:50)
Do you see on Instagram, I think it was the Talkin Yanks Instagram page posted it, and Cam Schlittler left a clown emoji, and I was just like, I love this guy so much. He's the best.

**Big Mac** (2:58)
And he was tweeting again last night, he loves going at these Boston podcasts, he loves going at the fans. There's something about this dude, he's a little off, but you love the mentality that he brings.
