Chris McMonigle (0:33)

Asher's an interesting name to go by, don't you think? Unless it's like your last name, I guess.

Craig Carton (0:37)

Yeah, I want to...

Chris McMonigle (0:38)

Because it's so close to ass.

Craig Carton (0:39)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (0:40)

You know, like who's coming on stage before BB Rexha, oh, asses.

Craig Carton (0:45)

I have a buddy who named his son what I kind of wanted to name my second son, Asher, Asher.

Chris McMonigle (0:50)

Asher, it's not a popular name, I like that.

Craig Carton (0:52)

Yeah, Asher, it sounds badass to me. Asher's the kind of guy pictured, you know, he'd order up for a date with a pack of luckies rolled up in his white jean shirt.

Chris McMonigle (1:00)

Who's revving the motorcycle lunch outside, honey? That's my boyfriend, Asher.

Craig Carton (1:03)

Yeah. Asher.

Chris McMonigle (1:06)

You don't have daughters, so you're good with that.

Craig Carton (1:08)

I do not, no. But can I just say something real quick, because now this is the third thing that's happened to me.

Chris McMonigle (1:12)

Yes.

Craig Carton (1:12)

And this is kind of out of the blue and maybe a bit weird, but you know how I am, I told you the other day that I left my house at the same time, parked in the same park.

SPEAKER_4 (1:19)

Yes, for the Yankee game, yeah.

Craig Carton (1:21)

I've had three things happen to me today that are making me nervous.

Chris McMonigle (1:25)

Negative signs?

Craig Carton (1:26)

Yeah, a little bit, yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:26)

Go ahead.

Craig Carton (1:28)

And cliched things, cliched things.

This morning, I threw my belt from the pair of pants, I took the pair of jeans that they were in, took the belt out and threw the belt to the hamper area and there's a mirror right there. And I accidentally hit the mirror really hard with the belt and I thought I broke it for a second and I didn't, but I hit the belt on the mirror really hard. Then leaving my house, as soon as I stepped out of my house, running from my basketball hoop and then into the neighbor's yard, was a black and orange cat. Black and orange, not just black.

SPEAKER_4 (2:09)

One cat, multi-colored.

Chris McMonigle (2:10)

Correct.

Craig Carton (2:11)

A calico like black and orange cat. And now just now, I went to go to the bathroom and the only way to get through was to walk under a ladder.

It was, the ladder was open sideways.

Chris McMonigle (2:27)

I know the one you're talking about.

Craig Carton (2:28)

It's right there.

And it was open sideways where I couldn't have passed, I would have had to move the ladder. So I didn't go.

Chris McMonigle (2:33)

And it's not your ladder to move.

Craig Carton (2:34)

And it's not my ladder to move.

Chris McMonigle (2:35)

Right. There might be a guy up on the roof right now.

Craig Carton (2:38)

So I didn't go to the bathroom.

Chris McMonigle (2:39)

You held it in.

Craig Carton (2:40)

I'm not walking under a ladder, that's crazy.

Chris McMonigle (2:42)

No. The Yankees don't play the night though.

Craig Carton (2:45)

So like the breaking of a mirror, a black cat and walking under a ladder have all at least entered my life on some level.

Chris McMonigle (2:55)

Tough spot. Plus, you're also recognized, were you not? Was that yesterday?

Craig Carton (3:00)

Where?

Chris McMonigle (3:00)

Didn't you say a guy, an older gentleman recognized you, like the supermarket or something?

Craig Carton (3:06)

He actually specifically said you don't have to mention this on air, but yes, I should have said that to you.

Chris McMonigle (3:10)

Oh, I apologize.

Craig Carton (3:11)

He didn't really say don't mention it.

No, I don't know his name. But he came up to me, yes. He came up to me at a store. I had a cable box busted, so I had to get a new cable box. So as I'm waiting for the woman to bring out a new cable box, he walks up to me slow and he's pointing the finger at me and he's looking at me and like...
