CARTON & BIG MAC ROAST NICO’S REAL NAME & Gallo Gets DESTROYED!

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
Courtesy of Sean Morash, that NICO, who's producing our show today, because Pete's off again, his name is not NICO. As if he randomly chose a random name out of the sky and said, you know what, Mom and Dad? I don't like the name you gave me. I wish you called me NICO.
Is that a fact that NICO's not your actual name?

**Peter** (0:51)
That is correct.

**Craig Carton** (0:52)
God, now did you pick NICO? I did not.
Someone, it's a nickname?

**Peter** (0:56)
It's my middle name.

**Anthony Gallo** (0:58)
Well, a nickname of my middle name. My middle name is Nicholas.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
So there's no NICO at all. I know a lot of Nicholas' that go by Nick or Nicky.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:07)
Yeah, I don't know NICO.

**Craig Carton** (1:07)
I know a lot of Nicholas' that then become NICO's. No, I don't. Nicholas, one of my dearest friends, you know, down in Jersey.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:14)
Goes by Nick.

**Craig Carton** (1:14)
Who has Barrel and Roost, a great restaurant. No, he goes by Nicholas. Very formal. Okay. But I never called him NICO.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:21)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:22)
So you hate your first name?

**Anthony Gallo** (1:24)
It's N-I-K-O-L-A-S.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
Are you Greek?

**Anthony Gallo** (1:27)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
Okay. All right.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:28)
Also, it's Nicolas.

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Nicolas.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:30)
Nicolas.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
Nicolas. Give me the tzatziki, Nicolas. The yogurt is going bad, Nicolas. I want to kill your pet octopus, Nicolas.
That's stereotypical and I apologize. Greece is one of my favorite places in the world. Oh, look, Anthony Gallo came to work for the first time.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:47)
We did talk about this yesterday, by the way.

**Craig Carton** (1:49)
I'm surprised. No, we did not.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:50)
Yes, we did.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Not at the show I was doing.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:52)
It was brought to our attention yesterday.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
Not on air, it wasn't.

**Anthony Gallo** (1:55)
No, not on air.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
So how would I know?

**Anthony Gallo** (1:56)
Off air.

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
You think I hear anything he talked to me about off air?

**Anthony Gallo** (2:00)
And I forgot to mention it.
I was like, I gotta ask him why he goes by NICO. Completely forgot about it until Sean texted. But yeah, we discussed this yesterday.

**Craig Carton** (2:07)
But I think the guessing game should be here if you are traditional Greek family. Then I should guess his real first name.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:15)
Okay, well, I had a couple.

**Craig Carton** (2:18)
You go first.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:19)
Well, because I worked at Sandcastle Caterers in Franklin Square when I was a kid.

**Peter** (2:22)
Was that a Greek catering company?

**Anthony Gallo** (2:24)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (2:24)
Okay.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:25)
So there was Nicholas.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
Nicholas. A lot of those. Right. Did your family ever own a diner?

**Anthony Gallo** (2:32)
No.

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Okay.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:33)
Well, there you go. There's also Petros.

**Craig Carton** (2:37)
Petros?

**Anthony Gallo** (2:38)
Petros.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
So that's a Pete, right? It's like a Greek Pete, yeah. All right, so that's one possibility. A Greek Pete is Petros. Petros. Okay. You don't have to do the accent. It sounds weird. It's almost offensive. It's not offensive. No, it's offensive.
Like when you do the accent but you're not of that nationality, it's somewhat offensive.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:55)
I don't mean it to be offensive.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
I'm having my Greek friends and relatives. I'd rather you not do the accent.

**Anthony Gallo** (2:59)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
Just say Petros.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:00)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (3:01)
Like an American. All right. What's your other possibility for his first name?
Is it a traditional Greek first name or no?

**Anthony Gallo** (3:10)
When you hear this name, you don't think of the person being Greek.

**Craig Carton** (3:12)
Got it. Okay. It's like Dave or something like that.

**Peter** (3:14)
Well, then what's the point?

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
It's fair. We just kind of killed our own game here.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:18)
You just, he said it's not Greek, so.

**Peter** (3:20)
All right.

**Craig Carton** (3:20)
So what's your first name?

**Peter** (3:22)
It is Peter.

**Craig Carton** (3:23)
Peter.

**Anthony Gallo** (3:23)
I was close. By the way, Petros. Petros.

**Craig Carton** (3:27)
All right. So you hate the name Pete. I'm sure your parents are thrilled.

**Peter** (3:31)
NICO's a better name.

**Craig Carton** (3:33)
Again.

**Peter** (3:34)
Who asked you?

**Craig Carton** (3:34)
Who asked you to chime in? You have a Saturday night show. Wait till you do it.
