C-Mac on Volpe’s Return and the Mets’ Comedy of Errors

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
All right, 258, McMonagle here with you. Sounds like it's from like American Pie, it's a 90s rock song.

**Craig Carton** (0:07)
Definitely a 90s rock song. Chorus about to hit, hold on.
Tell me if you know it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
I don't know it. I don't know it.

**Craig Carton** (0:19)
It's a band called Superdrag, I think it was 1995

**Chris McMonigle** (0:22)
Superdrag, 1995 Who sucked out the feeling?

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
Everybody knows that. It's like Squeeze.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:27)
Just like Squeeze.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
Nothing like Squeeze. This is nothing like Black Coffee in Bed. That's a classic. I don't know what this Slop is. What is this, Gruul? Gruul's got real chunks in it. This is more like Slop.
And this Chateau LeBlanc, 1998 It's supposed to be served slightly chilled. This is room temperature. What do you think we are? Animals?
I love Naked Gun.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
Did you see the new one, by the way?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
I did see the new one, yes.

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
Did you try to have your kids watch it alone?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:00)
Why not?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
Because the Naked Gun and my kids are nine. What do you mean why not?

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
Yeah, but it's not like Bad Joe. It's not like Bad Joe. It's really not.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:07)
But there's a lot of sexual innuendo.

**Craig Carton** (1:09)
They don't understand that stuff.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:10)
I know they don't, but they ask.
You kidding me? My kids ask. Listen, if I dropped a penny on the floor and it came up tales, I'd get 15 questions on Why Not Heads. That's how life works with me right now.

**Craig Carton** (1:21)
And I get that. But that's the reason why the movie doesn't work for them.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:27)
Last night, I want to give an example of the level of the questions that come at me and sometimes my inability to answer them. Last night, I am watching the Yankee game.
And you've seen me out in the newsroom. This is a Yankees Rays, for me, practically playoff game. As much as a non-playoff game in July could be a playoff game, these are big games.

**Craig Carton** (1:49)
There should be a sign on you that says, don't poke the bear.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
Don't poke the bear. So I'm watching the Yankee game in the living room. They're in the other room. They're in the kitchen with their mother. And I hear this from the kitchen. Hey, dad. Yeah, what's up? We saw a snapping turtle today.
That's cool.
And then I hear, he doesn't care. I'm like, you want to talk about a snapping turtle with me right now? You got to come into the room and talk to me. Right. If you thought I'm going to have a long distance conversation about the snapping turtle while the Yankees are losing and striking out 17 times, I apologize. I'm sorry. What was his name? Where did you see him? How did it go? Well, you know, how did you know it was a snapping turtle? Maybe it was just a regular turtle. Those are all questions I will have with you if you're in my face. But from across the room, I'm not having a snapping turtle conversation right now. I apologize.

**Craig Carton** (2:49)
That's on you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
That's on me.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
You're supposed to pause the DVR or pause the TV, get up, whichever room they're in, you're supposed to have a conversation with them. That's on you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
It's on me. I'm bad, dad.

**Craig Carton** (3:00)
By the way, did they get to the, hey dad, where do babies come from? Or how do you create babies? Do we get there yet or no?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:07)
I guess a little bit, not really as enough direct questions where it wasn't an easy kind of avoid the conversation and just, you know.

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
Ask your mother.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:17)
Yeah, no. Yeah, just kind of like simple things.
They come from mommy's, like they know where they come from, but they don't know how.

**Craig Carton** (3:26)
How they're made.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:27)
With love.

**Craig Carton** (3:28)
Lots of love.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:29)
Lots of love.

**Craig Carton** (3:31)
I got that on Disney. Anthony the Youngest was asking me about that a lot. Really? Yeah, I don't understand what made him think of that.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:36)
I don't know. No, I haven't gotten those. I get like out of nowhere, they're obsessed with like NBA 2K and now they're playing the 82-0. They kind of got into basketball with the Knicks run and now they're big in the basketball in the 82-0. Every chance, like they don't even have to ask me anymore. We'll be wherever, my in-laws or restaurant, like we went to Boston last week, we're at the restaurant. There's a downturn for 10 seconds waiting for whatever's coming next. And my youngest, Angel, just look at me and give me a smile like, and I know what that means. Can I have your phone to play 82-0? That's what I know. I know what that smile means already. So they asked me just like, we'll be sitting there and all of a sudden he'll go, dad. Like, yeah.
