It's The Carton Show with Big Mac, live from Fanatics Fest at the Jacob Javits Center, and a great crowd already, a crazy times here today. I do have one complaint out of the gate, it pisses me off. I just want to get this out of the way, because it's a thing that's happening online right now. I blame you for it, I'm sorry. I blame you people for it as well.
We are very blessed.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:25)
It's not your fault obviously.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
It's 100% not my fault.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:27)
Not your fault.

**Craig Carton** (0:28)
We are very blessed that we're number one in the ratings and all these great people came to watch us do the show today. Love all of you. We'll sign every autograph, take every picture. Happy to do it.
Number one, you guys got to start brushing your teeth.
That's number one. You are the worst breath people I've ever met in my entire life. That's number one. Number two, yesterday, we were here for five hours, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
Some of us were.

**Craig Carton** (0:56)
I would never say, I was here for four, that's a good point. Yeah. I never say no because I think someone wants an autograph or a picture. The answer should always be yes, unless you're having dinner with your family and then as soon as dinner is over, ba-ba-ba, right?
One guy on Twitter said, it pisses me off. He goes, so much for meeting your heroes. My 15-year-old took a picture with Craig and he didn't even smile, and now I can't show the picture to anybody.
So I would say this to that guy, go f yourself, because I don't have a great teethy smile. So I usually just don't go with the big smile. Like I'm not a circus animal.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:36)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:37)
So I go with the pursed lips, I take what was a special moment between me and his 15-year-old to attack me online. I'm not going to stand for it, Big Mac.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
It's unacceptable.

**Craig Carton** (1:49)
Good to see you. How are you today?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
Good to see you. I'm doing great.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Are you?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
It's crazier than yesterday. I didn't think you could be crazier than yesterday.

**Craig Carton** (1:58)
Right? This is fantastic. The crowd is awesome.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:01)
It's going to be a great day.

**Craig Carton** (2:02)
We have Robert Wuhl is going to stop by, teach some American history and baseball history. He's coming up a little bit. I think Gary Vee is going to come by and try to convince you to buy his NFTs since he can't make any money on them.
Keith Hernandez. Keith Hernandez is coming by.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
Keith Hernandez will be here.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
Who else? Jose Alvarado. Jose Alvarado is coming by.
A grand theft Alvarado. Fulbaricua. In any event, those are my Puerto Rican roots. I'm very proud of them. But there are some sports to get to right out of the gate, Big Mag. Apparently, we now know why Steve Cohen refused to make Francisco Lindor the captain of the Mets. The answer as to why? Because he's trying to trade him. And you can't have your first captain since David Wright get traded in the middle of the season. But even though they beat the Phillies last night, had a couple home runs, right? And a 4-1 was the final. And again, it's meaningless baseball. Who even cares? But now, the yard sale begins. And I was trying to figure out, imagine for a second, you're Francisco Lindor, okay?
You just bought a $25 million apartment on the Upper East Side for your wife and your family, and that's great, right? The guy you wanted to become mayor became mayor. Hey, good for socialism, right? Great. All good, okay?
You want to be the captain of the Mets, but the guys in the locker room don't want you to be the captain of the Mets because they don't like you. And you went from, I think I'm going to be the captain of the Mets, to being on the trade block. Yeah. And the guy that's been in the Mets for a year and a month, essentially, is untradeable.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:47)
Right.

**Craig Carton** (3:47)
So if you're Francisco Lindor, how does that taste?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:51)
Yeah, it probably tastes awful.

**Craig Carton** (3:52)
You forced Nimmo out, you forced McNeil out, you forced Alonzo out, because you didn't get along with them over politics and you're watching each other.

**Chris McMonigle** (4:00)
I think that had something to do with it.
