October 19, 2026

The Carton Show, are we giving away tickets?
Chris McMonigle (0:03)
We are, we certainly are.
Craig Carton (0:05)
Let me see if I can figure out who this is. Sounds like Zach Bryan to me.
Chris McMonigle (0:11)
Oh, that's exactly who it is. We're giving Zach Bryan tickets out.
Craig Carton (0:18)
Is that right? Yeah, is that right? Where's he playing and when?
Chris McMonigle (0:22)
I have the read right in front of me.
Craig Carton (0:23)
Well, what do you tell me? All right.
Chris McMonigle (0:25)
Zach Bryan is bringing his young...
Craig Carton (0:27)
Is this the new EP that he came up with? Is this where he talks about saving Gaza and Hamas? Is that that album? Is that the one, is this the pro Hamas album that he put out? But go ahead. What do you got?
A read's a read, so do the read.
Chris McMonigle (0:47)
Yeah, I'm not going to. We'll do it later.
Craig Carton (0:50)
Why?
Chris McMonigle (0:51)
I don't know. We'll do it later.
Craig Carton (0:54)
Are you questioning what's on the read? What's the issue?
Chris McMonigle (1:00)
Yeah, I am.
Craig Carton (1:01)
Why? What are you questioning?
Chris McMonigle (1:02)
Because it looks a little different than normally tickets do. Okay. And all of a sudden, I just. I just want to say I've nothing to do with it. Because I've lived and I've breathed, Craig. I have nothing to do with it, I swear to you. I've done this before. Can I see it? May I see it? I've played the game with you, yeah. No, no, I'm telling you, my children's lives. No, no, I'm not dumb.
Craig Carton (1:19)
I have nothing to do with this.
Chris McMonigle (1:21)
Fool me once. I don't make the same mistakes twice. Then you read it. Okay, give it to me.
Craig Carton (1:25)
I just sort of support a guy that supports him else, but okay, if you want me to. Oh, I had it. Let me see here.
Chris McMonigle (1:31)
Yeah, you do the read.
Craig Carton (1:32)
Zach Bryan's bringing his young manhood and other donateable organs to our...
He's going to be at MetLife Stadium, May 14th and 15th. Can someone Google that and make sure it's the name of the album? Let me say this. This is from our friends, and I know these guys personally, at Bowery Presents. They're great guys, all right? Is that the name of the album or no? Just someone say on air, say yes or no.
Chris McMonigle (2:02)
Okay.
Craig Carton (2:02)
There you go.
Chris McMonigle (2:03)
All right. So, whatever.
I've been fooled before. You've tried it multiple times. But I didn't do that. You had this. The way you were like, oh, who is this? Oh, it's Zach Bryan. And then all of a sudden, you had complaints about him. Like, oh, I know where this is going.
Craig Carton (2:19)
Here's why I'm pissed at Zach Bryan.
Chris McMonigle (2:20)
I know where this is going, so I apologize.
Craig Carton (2:21)
I'm a huge fan of Zach Bryan's music. I think he's awesome.
Chris McMonigle (2:25)
Yeah.
Craig Carton (2:26)
I think what he did at Foxboro was stupid. And I'm trying now to weigh my like of his music versus my disgust of what he did at Foxboro.
Chris McMonigle (2:35)
Gotcha.
Craig Carton (2:35)
Now, I know he put out a new EP. It must be this.
Chris McMonigle (2:38)
I guess so.
Craig Carton (2:39)
I did not know the name of it.
Chris McMonigle (2:40)
This is the problem with working with Craig Carton. When the line is, his Young Manhood.
Craig Carton (2:47)
It says here Young Manhood and other Donatable Orchards.
Chris McMonigle (2:51)
I assume that was not what I should have read and I didn't want to do it. That's okay. So here's what we'll do. We'll take the first caller, 866-540-WFAN.
Craig Carton (3:00)
That's 866-540-9326.
You get a pair of tickets to see the show. I'm sure it's going to sell out. This is for the May 15th show, but he is doing two shows there. May 14th and May 15th, and you have another chance to win tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Again, I know the Bowery guys well. Good dudes, good promoters, and they have this show. So there you go.
Chris McMonigle (3:23)
All right? All right.
Craig Carton (3:25)
I don't blame you for not reading it though.
Chris McMonigle (3:28)
I would have just been quietly, let's just do it next break. I want time to confirm that's what it's called.
