Big Mac Slams Evan Roberts' "Gatekeeping"

**Craig Carton** (0:01)
Go! Ho!
By the way, Carton Show, Big Mac, before I get back to all your calls to the euphoria of the next winning of the parade now 48 hours away. By the way, Tiki and Evan and Sean will be broadcasting from the parade. I don't know exactly where yet, but they will be there. Big Mac and I will probably be milling around at some point.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
I think I'm going to go down there.

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
Are you?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
I mean, we'll see.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
We can meet here and walk over together if you want. Hold hands, skip, do a little Vernon Shirley action.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
Have you frolic-ed recently?

**Craig Carton** (0:32)
I have not frolic-ed in six months.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:33)
Because I could frolic.

**Craig Carton** (0:34)
I'll frolic with you.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:36)
If you're ever going to frolic on the way to the parade.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
Schlemiel, Schlamazel, Howes and Pfeffer Incorporated, we're going to do it. Anyway, we're going to be there at some point, but those guys will be broadcasting live, which kind of sucks also if I may be bold and honest with you, blunt and honest with you.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:53)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (0:53)
I love those guys.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:55)
They're not Nick fans.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
They're not Nick fans.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
Tiki's a Nick fan, but. He's not a basketball fan.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
He's a Figezi Nick fan.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
I mean, he would tell you he's not a diehard. No, I'm saying he would tell you he's not a diehard.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
So I offered to swap shows.
I offered to swap shows for the day, which probably hurts us, you know, in the ratings. But I think for Nick fans, hey, can you do me a favor? Can you get me big girls on the line? I think that's really what we should do. I think, like, I'm the biggest Nick fan here. You're right there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:25)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
Like, Evan's a great basketball fan, obviously.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:28)
He despises the Knicks.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
But he hates the Knicks. Morash hates the Knicks.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
He's being fair about this.

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
And Tiki's not a Nick fan.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:34)
But he despises the Knicks.

**Craig Carton** (1:35)
Like, I think we should mix it up a little bit. And I think you and I should do the show from there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
I'm with you.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
That's what I think.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
I think we should be at the parade. People think I'm afloat anyway.

**Craig Carton** (1:44)
I don't even think Evan wants to be there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:47)
No, I'm sure he doesn't.

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
And I respect that. He's a Knicks fan.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
I'm sure he has no interest in being there.

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
So, Pete, do me a favor. Tell Big Earl's my idea. And obviously, Evan and TK and Sean would have to say yes. That's their time slot. And I certainly respect that.
But I think Knicks fans deserve to have Knicks fans at the parade.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:05)
I agree.

**Craig Carton** (2:06)
Right? And again, they'll do a great job. They'll cover it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:09)
Of course.

**Craig Carton** (2:10)
Well, it's not about their abilities. I think they'll be great. But I also think that we should have actual Knicks fans. And there are two of us right here.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:18)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
So what I would do with you, 10 to 2
And then they'll do 2 to 7 Or 6 or whatever.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:24)
I think that's a great idea.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
Right?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:26)
I'm in. I want to be at that parade.

**Craig Carton** (2:28)
So just, Pete, give me an answer from Hurl's, please. All right. Appreciate that.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:32)
He's probably listening.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
Yeah, sometimes he listens on the app. You know, because...

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
Oh, he's a little bit behind.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes. Because he's not always in the building.
This time of day. Sometimes he is. Never. But a lot of times he's not here at 4.30.
So, he's either in the car or he's on the app. So he's coming out, catching up to the content right now. But I think Pete is talking to him right now. Yeah, always talking to him. Pete hates talking to him. But it looks like he's talking to him right now. We should probably also have meetings about this kind of stuff.
