Speakers: Craig Carton, Big Mac, Peter, Johnny
**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Peter in Old Bridge, New Jersey, on the fan. Peter, how are you, buddy?

**Big Mac** (0:03)
What's up, Pete?

**Peter** (0:06)
Hey, guys. Craig, first of all, I'm obsessed with you, you're the goat.

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
Oh, thank you.

**Peter** (0:13)
And I want to take you on a Brooklyn food crawl, and if you can't do the crawl, I will take the crawl to you. Wow, can't say no to that. You want to hear the menu?

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Yeah, for a brief amount of time, sure.

**Peter** (0:26)
Yeah, then we'll skip the menu. Let me just tell you.

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
Let me ask you a question. What's the first stop? What's the last stop?

**Peter** (0:34)
First stop, the Fontys, the sandwich shop.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
Okay. Are we going to Brendan and Carr's or no?

**Peter** (0:40)
Absolutely. Brendan and Carr's last stop in between L&B's for Mone Gardens. Now you're talking my language.

**Craig Carton** (0:46)
Okay.

**Peter** (0:46)
Listen, you're getting an egg cream, you're getting halva, you're getting little Debbie sweets, you're getting steak pits I own with hot cherry peppers, mozzarella, roast pork, broccoli, rabe, and provolone. Okay. Not to mention that we have so much in common, we could talk all day. I grew up, my uncle was Chet the Jet 40 I grew up in the ABC trucks. I was a PA for Howard Cosell and Chet 40 for three years. Wow, that's awesome. My job was to just spot hot girls in the audience and bring them back to the truck.
And listen, my uncle Chet, you and I, and I bet roulette $3,000 a spin, by the way, back in the day.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
Gotcha.

**Peter** (1:27)
Me and Chet the Jet, we were pikers compared to Chet. He would bet $1,000, $100,000 on which fly was going to come off the table and fly off the table first.

**Craig Carton** (1:38)
That's a gamble right there. There's this old joke amongst compulsive gamblers that how do you spot a real compulsive gambler at a GEO meeting? It's the three guys that are betting on which raindrop falls down the window so fast. Yeah.

**Peter** (1:53)
Listen, we have so much to talk about, so I hope you put me on hold. Now let me just segue to Big Mac. I love Big Mac. I think he has the colorations of francesa. I love that he loves the Beatles. I love that he has a decent voice, which by the way, I have a great voice.
If we have a meet. I can tell you, you can't tell, because I'm 72, but I act like I'm 50

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
You don't sound 72 I'll say that.

**Peter** (2:18)
And I tell you, when you meet me, and I hope we do, because I absolutely love you, Spank.
So let me just tell you while you're away, and then I'm going to let you go. I'm tuning in to the show, and Big Mac, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, I change, come back in an hour, and we could win without Aaron Judge. I come back in an hour. I come back in an hour.

**Big Mac** (2:39)
Wait a minute.

**Peter** (2:39)
I come back in an hour, and you say that Kam Schlitler has, he reminds you somewhat, and has the attributes of Michael Jordan.

**Big Mac** (2:50)
He's the Michael Jordan of the Asian baseball team.

**Peter** (2:52)
Big Mac, Big Mac, Big Mac, I love you. I almost crashed my Mercedes right into the wall.

**Big Mac** (2:58)
What?

**Peter** (2:58)
Listen, you're beyond the shill. You're upset. Listen, you've got to stop, or you're going to work for SNY. You've got to stop.

**Big Mac** (3:07)
I can work for SNY.

**Craig Carton** (3:08)
I work for SNY now, kind of. Grab Pete's number for me. Ah, Petey, did you actually say that Cam Schlitter is the Michael Jordan of baseball? Yes, I did. Come on, man.

**Big Mac** (3:18)
You know why I said it, though.

**Craig Carton** (3:19)
Come on.

**Big Mac** (3:20)
You know what I meant when I said it. No, I don't. He invents things to be pissed off about, like Michael Jordan did. He took, I was, it was a flippant line talking about how he...

**Johnny** (3:30)
You see what happens with flippant lines?

**Craig Carton** (3:32)
People hear that, they're like, click, click. You can't have the clicks, no clicks.

**Big Mac** (3:37)
It was in the case, yeah, he kept checking back.

**Craig Carton** (3:39)
He came back to make sure you ought to do something else.

**Big Mac** (3:41)
I kept getting the quarter hours. Don't worry about it.
