Eli Manning’s HOF Debate: Legendary Playoff Runs vs. Career Stats

Craig Carton (0:00)

We're coming to America. Neil Diamond, what's the name of the song, too? The Traveling Salvation Show.

Brother loves brother, say love, Traveling Salvation Show.

Chris McMonigle (0:14)

Holly, holly.

Craig Carton (0:16)

I like a lot of different Neil Diamond songs. I don't know that. Forever in Blue Jeans, classic song. I think it's a shame that he is only known for one song. He's really only known, as great as he is, a ton of hits. To his fans, people would say that's ridiculous. He's not known for one song. But it feels like in the cultural zeitgeist, right? Am I saying that right? Zeitgeist? Zeitgeist? No, zeitgeist is something different. Yeah. Yeah.

Why am I not saying it right?

Zach Gelb (0:45)

Don't talk about my gut like that.

Craig Carton (0:47)

That's not nice.

SPEAKER_4 (0:48)

I don't know the word you're looking for.

Zach Gelb (0:49)

I am not a wordsmith.

Craig Carton (0:50)

There's like a cultural, like, I think I said it right the first time. Now I'm not going to try it again. But culturally, he's kind of known for just Sweet Caroline.

SPEAKER_4 (0:58)

I have a real question about that song, okay? Who is the, and I'm being honest, who's the first person to add the bop, bop, bop to it? Because it's not in the song.

SPEAKER_5 (1:08)

No, someone did it.

SPEAKER_4 (1:10)

Somebody had to do it. So I'm curious where that originated from.

Zach Gelb (1:13)

I don't know. We'll never know.

SPEAKER_4 (1:15)

It's a universal thing. I've been doing that in bars since I was 20 years old.

SPEAKER_6 (1:18)

Sure.

Zach Gelb (1:19)

It's usually an end of wedding song, right?

Craig Carton (1:22)

Sort of. I worked at a catering hall. I can tell you by far, like for years in Franklin Square, I can tell you what by far the number one wedding song ender of all time is, or at least it was from 1999 to 2007?

Zach Gelb (1:39)

Shout?

Craig Carton (1:40)

2006? No. End of, end, like final song.

Zach Gelb (1:43)

Yeah. Can I guess?

Craig Carton (1:45)

Shout's the middle of the party song. They don't end with shout.

SPEAKER_4 (1:47)

I won't do that?

Zach Gelb (1:48)

No.

SPEAKER_4 (1:48)

Anything for love?

SPEAKER_5 (1:49)

No.

SPEAKER_6 (1:50)

Frank Sinatra's My Way? No.

Zach Gelb (1:52)

New York, New York.

Craig Carton (1:54)

There are some weddings that end that way.

SPEAKER_5 (1:56)

No, it's, I had the time of my life, and I've never felt this way before.

Craig Carton (2:06)

Is that Barry Wine? No.

SPEAKER_6 (2:07)

I thought that was Swayze.

Craig Carton (2:09)

Come on.

Chris McMonigle (2:09)

Come on, Pete.

Zach Gelb (2:11)

Can you two shut up? Like we have a great singer right here. You guys are ruining the ball.

SPEAKER_6 (2:15)

Two guys roll over to the bit pair.

SPEAKER_4 (2:17)

Zach, by the way, I hear C-Max sing every day.

Craig Carton (2:21)

Yes, that was a very popular last song of a wedding for a long time, at least in Long Island in the early 2000s. That was the wedding closer.

Zach Gelb (2:31)

That was the closure.

Craig Carton (2:32)

That was the last song.

Zach Gelb (2:33)

What was the opener?

SPEAKER_4 (2:34)

Was there an opener?

Craig Carton (2:35)

No, I mean shout, stuff like that, like dance floor stuff. It's changed throughout the years, whatever the popular dance stuff was.

Zach Gelb (2:40)

September is always a big one. September.

SPEAKER_4 (2:43)

And then the electric slide moment, right? The electric slide. Yeah.

Craig Carton (2:47)

Right, then they'll do that segment of like dance along things with like actual...

SPEAKER_4 (2:52)

Macarena.

Craig Carton (2:53)

The Macarena, that. What's the other one? There's a couple of them, but yeah, the Macarena electric slide, the Cuban shuffle.

SPEAKER_6 (3:01)

Did you guys, because I know your fiance's, or your wife, sorry, I'm on fiance mode. Can you just give me a break?

Craig Carton (3:06)

I've been, I just celebrated my 10th anniversary.

SPEAKER_6 (3:09)

Did you guys do the, did they do the Tarantella, that, it's like the Italian dance.

Craig Carton (3:16)

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. We didn't do it, no. But I know what you're talking about. Yeah, it's, and everyone like kind of goes, yeah.

I tell you, it was a catering hall, and it was Greek, it was owned by Greek guys. And the Greek weddings are insane.

Zach Gelb (3:32)

And throwing the wedding cake and all that stuff.

Craig Carton (3:34)

They smash plates.

Zach Gelb (3:36)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (3:37)

They'll lay plates on the floor and do like backflips onto the plates. They're, it's the craziest party ever.
