Did Steve Cohen Save Pete Alonso's Career?

Craig Carton (0:00)

Dance, dance, dance, yeah.

Dance, dance, dance, yeah. By the way, did you guys make picks on the game last night?

Chris McMonigle (0:09)

We did.

Craig Carton (0:10)

I apologize for missing it, but I'm trying to keep track. Is someone keeping track of the records?

Chris McMonigle (0:15)

He claims he is, but if you want to help out, that's fine.

SPEAKER_3 (0:17)

No, I'm keeping track.

Craig Carton (0:19)

All right, so Denver, of course, the big loser last night against the Kansas City Chiefs really got waxed.

Chris McMonigle (0:26)

Yep.

Craig Carton (0:28)

Bo Knicks. Yeah, both sucks.

Kind of like Drake May, both of them. Told you they weren't great quarterbacks. They were good quarterbacks, but they're both terrible in week one. So what were the results of yesterday's picks?

Chris McMonigle (0:42)

Gallo obviously picked his Denver Broncos.

Craig Carton (0:45)

Loser.

Chris McMonigle (0:45)

And both myself and Hoff picked the Kansas City Chiefs.

Craig Carton (0:48)

There you go. All right, so you're still in first place.

Chris McMonigle (0:50)

I'm four and one. Is it five and one?

Craig Carton (0:53)

You're five and one.

Got six games. Gallo's four and two. Three and three. Three and three. And you're what?

Chris McMonigle (1:00)

Three and three.

Craig Carton (1:01)

So you're both three and three. The big fella here has got a two-game lead, six games into your season-long competition. Still very young.

Chris McMonigle (1:07)

I expected to continue in this path.

Craig Carton (1:09)

By the way, I do too. My money would be on you.

Chris McMonigle (1:12)

Well, of course.

Craig Carton (1:13)

Because A, you're my partner, and B, I mean, you've heard them play the wheel. No reason to think that they'd be competent at something else.

Chris McMonigle (1:24)

I have no idea what's coming next week, but I have...

Craig Carton (1:26)

Probably some losses.

Chris McMonigle (1:27)

Yeah, probably some losses. But it's five in a row, because I lost the Seattle New England game, and then I've won five in a row.

Craig Carton (1:34)

Oh, look at you.

Chris McMonigle (1:35)

I'm on a five game win streak.

Craig Carton (1:36)

You're on a heater.

Chris McMonigle (1:37)

I'm on a heater.

Craig Carton (1:37)

Nice. Yes. Nice. Obviously, this is all for entertainment purposes only.

SPEAKER_3 (1:42)

Yes.

Craig Carton (1:42)

They are not wagering. There's a penalty whoever comes in dead last that I decide, and the winner gets seven.

SPEAKER_3 (1:49)

What's the penalty for the winner?

Chris McMonigle (1:50)

I mean, what's the penalty? What's the prize for the winner?

Craig Carton (1:52)

Well, we have this much like there's gonna be three choices of penalties that are pre-approved that the loser, the dead last loser will pick out of a hat.

Chris McMonigle (2:01)

Okay.

Craig Carton (2:02)

There'll be three potential prizes for the winner.

Chris McMonigle (2:05)

Okay.

Craig Carton (2:05)

And also pre-approved, and you have to pick it out of a hat.

Chris McMonigle (2:08)

Okay.

Craig Carton (2:09)

I think that's fair, right?

Chris McMonigle (2:10)

Sounds good.

Craig Carton (2:10)

One prize will be two tickets to a concert at Madison Square Garden.

Chris McMonigle (2:16)

That's a good one.

Craig Carton (2:17)

One prize will be two tickets to a Knick game at Madison Square Garden.

Chris McMonigle (2:24)

Wow. Okay.

Craig Carton (2:25)

I'm not sure about the third prize yet. It might be a case of Brooklyn Lugger.

Chris McMonigle (2:32)

I gotta take that home today.

Craig Carton (2:33)

Yes, you do. Because if you don't, you know how it works around this place. Like I have plenty because they're very good to me and kind to me.

But that was for you.

Chris McMonigle (2:42)

No, I know.

Craig Carton (2:42)

If you don't take that case home today, It's just such a big case of beer. The case won't be here tomorrow.

Chris McMonigle (2:47)

Unfortunately, I don't get to park that close. I really don't feel like carrying it six blocks.

Craig Carton (2:51)

Why don't you do this? Why don't you leave it with the gal downstairs, pull up after work. I've done that a few times.

And then say, just run it out. Pop up. Or I have one of these guys just waiting for you.

Chris McMonigle (3:02)

I can just give Gallo my keys right now and just have them run to my car right now.

Craig Carton (3:08)

With the case of beer? Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (3:10)

Is that too much? Yeah, that would be too much.

Craig Carton (3:12)

You can ask Gallo to bring it downstairs and wait for you when you go get your car. I'd meet you out front at 6 o'clock.
