Craig Carton (0:00)

Marcus King on a Friday, why not? 888-808-109.

Chris McMonigle (0:05)

Who?

Craig Carton (0:06)

You don't know Marcus King?

Chris McMonigle (0:07)

No.

Craig Carton (0:08)

Ah, one of the best up-and-coming guitar players and Southern Rock guys. I love that dude. Yeah.

I can't tell you the names of any songs he sings, but whenever I hear him, I like him a lot. Yeah, I've been trying to book him on the show. Pete hasn't booked him yet for me successfully.

Chris McMonigle (0:21)

Hasn't booked Marcus King?

Craig Carton (0:23)

Yeah, you never heard of Marcus King?

SPEAKER_3 (0:24)

Really, really good.

Craig Carton (0:25)

No joke, really good.

Chris McMonigle (0:26)

I'm sure he is.

Craig Carton (0:27)

I've been trying to book Marcus King and Stella Lefty on the show, and Pete has failed me on that one. But maybe one day I'll come in and be like guess what Craigie?

Guess who's coming in studio today?

Stella Lefty.

Chris McMonigle (0:40)

Stella Lefty.

Craig Carton (0:41)

I'm on a train down to Boston and I'm feeling my.

Chris McMonigle (0:44)

Yeah, I don't know that one either.

Craig Carton (0:45)

She of course literally stole the hook of Noah Kahan's stick season for that and is under a lot of trouble for that.

Chris McMonigle (0:52)

Yeah, it sounds just like it.

Craig Carton (0:53)

Do you think so?

Chris McMonigle (0:54)

I think so.

Craig Carton (0:55)

Okay, well there you have it.

Chris McMonigle (0:56)

I've only heard the song once, but.

Craig Carton (0:58)

Which song? Which one of the two?

Chris McMonigle (0:59)

Oh, no, stick season I know by heart.

Craig Carton (1:01)

You do that, you like that? You're a big Noah Kahan guy?

Chris McMonigle (1:03)

Not really, but I love that song. Okay. I don't know another song he does, but I like that one.

Craig Carton (1:06)

You know that he is the most expensive ticket in the history of concerts at Citi Field?

Chris McMonigle (1:10)

No way.

Craig Carton (1:11)

How about that?

Chris McMonigle (1:12)

That is weird.

Craig Carton (1:13)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:13)

I saw McCartney there. Now I know it was a long time ago, but he ain't outselling McCartney.

Craig Carton (1:18)

Well, based on the face value ticket price he did.

Chris McMonigle (1:21)

Well, I mean, yeah.

Craig Carton (1:23)

Although that might have been the secondary market. That's possible.

Chris McMonigle (1:26)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:26)

Like what does McCartney get for a ticket these days? 350?

SPEAKER_3 (1:29)

Yeah, something like that.

Craig Carton (1:29)

Is it really that much?

SPEAKER_3 (1:30)

Probably.

Chris McMonigle (1:31)

Depends on the venue. It's crazy, right?

Craig Carton (1:33)

At least you don't get any political speeches there. That's good. He just plays music, right?

Chris McMonigle (1:37)

Occasionally, he'll give you the vegan stuff.

Craig Carton (1:39)

Does he really?

Chris McMonigle (1:39)

Every once in a while. Not like preacher.

Craig Carton (1:43)

I saw the man eat a hot dog at Barclays.

Chris McMonigle (1:45)

It was a tofu.

Craig Carton (1:46)

So I don't understand why he would give a vegan speech.

Chris McMonigle (1:48)

One of his favorite foods. Like he likes the meat replacement stuff.

Craig Carton (1:54)

Oh, like the Wonder Burger, whatever it's called.

SPEAKER_3 (1:57)

The possible burger or something?

Chris McMonigle (1:58)

He pushes the vegetarian pot roasts and all these different things that he's trying to...

Craig Carton (2:04)

So he would have hated our meat draft a few years back?

Chris McMonigle (2:06)

He would not have liked the meat draft, no. That's the one thing me and Paul don't see eye to eye on.

Craig Carton (2:11)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (2:12)

I give me all the meat.

Craig Carton (2:14)

Quick question, have you gone through as a family and eaten all the LaBelle's meat we got at Yankee Stadium?

Chris McMonigle (2:21)

No, not even close.

Craig Carton (2:22)

Oh, good.

Chris McMonigle (2:22)

Last weekend, my sister came over. No, we made all the skirt steak. I made skirt steak for dinner.

Then we made one of the, I guess, New York strips. So it was the skirt steak and then one just to get a taste of it.

SPEAKER_3 (2:36)

Of the Wagyu burger?

Chris McMonigle (2:37)

No, not the Wagyu burger. I've made two of those. So it was little half pound bags of Wagyu.

SPEAKER_3 (2:41)

Oh, I haven't opened that yet.

Chris McMonigle (2:43)

They're just chopped meat.

SPEAKER_3 (2:43)

Oh, it's ground beef.

Chris McMonigle (2:45)

It's a half a pound of ground beef. So I made two of those one night we had burgers and all the...
