Craig Slams Producers Over Viral Giants Injury Video

Craig Carton (0:01)

Is it true that Morgan Wallen and not a single nomination for Country Music Awards this year? Is that right? You have the update or not?

Chris McMonigle (0:11)

Yeah, I was just talking to someone out... Zero, huh?

Craig Carton (0:15)

No nominations for Morgan Wallen.

Chris McMonigle (0:17)

Yeah, I was just talking to my Country Music Award guy.

Craig Carton (0:19)

What did he tell you?

Chris McMonigle (0:21)

Just what you told me.

Craig Carton (0:22)

Not a single nomination for Morgan Wallen?

Chris McMonigle (0:25)

Unbelievable.

Craig Carton (0:25)

I don't know what the people are doing down there in Nashville. I'd like to know, though. I'd like to get to the bottom of it. Did my guy Sam Barber get any nominations?

Chris McMonigle (0:33)

I have no idea.

Craig Carton (0:34)

Hey, Petey, call my boy Noah Caruso up over in Atlantic and find out if Sam Barber got any nominations.

Chris McMonigle (0:42)

Who are you concerned about? The American...

SPEAKER_3 (0:43)

Well, yeah, that's right.

Chris McMonigle (0:45)

Country Music Awards.

Craig Carton (0:45)

I'm a big Country Music fan.

SPEAKER_3 (0:46)

Are you?

Craig Carton (0:47)

Are you damn skippy?

Chris McMonigle (0:48)

Since Outkick or before that? No, before Outkick. Good call, though.

Craig Carton (0:51)

Well, that's right. I should have no problem booking Country Music stars on that show.

Yeah, no, I like Chris Stapleton, as you know, because we both have a mutual fandom of Chris Stapleton.

Chris McMonigle (1:02)

I do love Chris Stapleton.

Craig Carton (1:03)

Or as I call him, Chrissy Staples. Sure. Yeah, Chris Stapleton. My kids love Sam Barber. They saw him over at Pier 17 last week, which is a great venue on the East River. If you've never been there, you should definitely check that out if you can.

But how does Morgan Wallen not get any nominations? Did Stella Lefty get any nominations?

Chris McMonigle (1:22)

Want to see the nomination?

Craig Carton (1:23)

Did Ella Langley? He's from Texas. Choosing Texas has to be the lock for that, right?

SPEAKER_4 (1:28)

I see here that he did get nominated, but not like for anything like specifically on his vocal tracks. It was like more like event of the year he was part of.

Craig Carton (1:37)

Event of the year?

SPEAKER_4 (1:38)

Yes.

Craig Carton (1:38)

That's an award now? Coachella, the event of the year.

Chris McMonigle (1:44)

Top nominees this year. For country music. Ella Langley.

Craig Carton (1:48)

Yeah, Choosing Texas.

Chris McMonigle (1:49)

Nine nominations.

Craig Carton (1:50)

By the way, that song just passed Mariah Carey. Most consecutive weeks to number one in the history of music.

Chris McMonigle (1:55)

Really? What's that?

Craig Carton (1:56)

Choosing Texas.

Chris McMonigle (1:57)

Choosing Texas.

Craig Carton (1:58)

You got that Petey for them there? Good. Great song by the way. He's Choosing Texas, I can tell.

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (2:06)

That sounds great. Miranda Lambert, seven nominations.

Craig Carton (2:09)

Wow, she's been around for like 30 years too.

Chris McMonigle (2:11)

Casey Musgraves. I like Casey Musgraves a little bit. Five nominations. Okay.

Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Stephen Wilson Jr. Four nominations.

Craig Carton (2:21)

I don't know Cody Johnson, that's a new one for me.

Chris McMonigle (2:22)

Entertainer of the Year, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Chris Stapleton, Laney Wilson.

Craig Carton (2:29)

Big fan of Laney Wilson's too. She's a little thicker though than Ella Langley, so maybe more Pete style than mine, but in any event, all right.

Chris McMonigle (2:36)

Did Chris Stapleton come out with a new album this year?

I mean, I guess that's what I'm saying. No, no, sure. Yeah. I gotta check it out. Of course you did.

Craig Carton (2:43)

Like, wouldn't you, if you were Chris Staples?

Chris McMonigle (2:45)

I just every once in a while ago... Played Chris Stapleton.

And every once in a while that happened.

Craig Carton (2:51)

You know this song.

Chris McMonigle (2:52)

I don't. I genuinely don't.

Craig Carton (2:54)

You couldn't avoid this song for the last year and a half.

Chris McMonigle (2:56)

And yet I have. You know the song.

Craig Carton (3:07)

You've heard this song. She's drinking Jacko by herself.

Chris McMonigle (3:11)

Is she wearing comfortable jeans?

Craig Carton (3:13)

No, tight jeans, tight jeans.

SPEAKER_3 (3:14)

Is she wearing tight jeans?

Craig Carton (3:15)

Yeah, she's hot to trot to me.

Chris McMonigle (3:17)

Does she drive like a Chevy? You taking shots at Country Music now? I'm just asking. She likes to drink beer and Jack Daniels. I know, yeah. Does she wear boots? Yeah, she wears boots. That's right. And a hat. Boats and a hat. That's right.
