**Craig Carton** (0:03)
It's The Carton Show with Big Mac on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in New York City. Phone number to join is always 888-808-1019.
There are some people that cannot be killed. You can try your hardest, but they keep showing up. And I think this will mark his third comeback to WFAN. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bart Scott. What's up, Bart?

**Bart Scott** (0:29)
Don't call it a comeback.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:30)
I've been here for years.

**Bart Scott** (0:32)
Off and on you have been.

**Craig Carton** (0:33)
This is a show that we've been talking about doing or trying to do forever for a very, very long time.

**Bart Scott** (0:38)
I forgot how jacked up on Mount Dew you are.
Usually I'm the guy that jacked up on Mount Dew. Now I got to raise my level. A two o'clock show for you, man. You got all kind of coffee.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
We got cases of the dew in the back. You just asked and we got you covered, no doubt.

**Bart Scott** (0:51)
Processed carbs, all kind of good stuff. It's a pleasure, man. It's good to come home even though I recognize my home. This is like my home being renovated. In mid renovation. First of all, I didn't recognize any of my former ideas. Like, okay, man, I know at the corner, I'm going to run into the pharmacy. Let me stop in the pharmacy. Gone. You know what I'm saying? Come grab some stuff. All right, let me go get something so I can be jacked up on my own. Dude, let me go get me an iced caramel ribbon frappe.

**Craig Carton** (1:14)
Gone.

**Bart Scott** (1:15)
I'm like, where the hell am I at? I go to the lobby and I'm looking for the security desk.

**Craig Carton** (1:23)
Gone.

**Bart Scott** (1:24)
I'm like, okay, well, excuse me. It looks all beautiful. That's what happened when Google Money kind of hit.

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Google took over.

**Bart Scott** (1:29)
Google hits the stuff that we need an ambiance.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
Yeah, so we got ambiance. We got a rooftop deck now.

**Bart Scott** (1:34)
What?

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
Oh yeah, we got it all. We got free cold brew up there.

**Bart Scott** (1:37)
So we don't have to go over to Hotel Hugo no more to go steal some cold brew. We just did it straight at the top.

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
If you want to cold brew an avocado on toast, you just go a block away. It's great to have Bart here. And how's vacation treating you?

**Bart Scott** (1:50)
Vacation is good.
It's almost like ah. Am I prepared to do a four hour show?

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
We're going to find out quickly, aren't we?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
Cut me out.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
We got lots to do today. We'll get to all the football stuff with Bart here. But I think I have Bart, what even you would have to consider, what could be the greatest flex in the history of New York sports. Okay. If you've been paying attention, there's a guy named Mark Walter. Mark Walter owns majority owner of the LA Dodgers. He's the same exact guy that just sold the Los Angeles Lakers for $12 billion valuation, right? And everyone's like, that's interesting, he just bought the LA Lakers. A year ago, right? Like yesterday.
And he made $2 billion in profit on flipping the LA Lakers. So now the story starts coming out that the guy's probably going to be indicted by the feds for some type of a financial fraud here. And he's trying to cover some debt center out there. I don't want to get two in the weeds on him, but he allegedly took money from A and gave it to B and you're not allowed to do that. Money's not always fungible and he's in trouble. So he's trying to cover a pretty big nut and apparently needs about another $5 billion to cover this nut.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:02)
How much?

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
$5 billion. That's where he's looking at right now.

**Bart Scott** (3:05)
So he got two or did he get to 12 and that's part of the five?

**Craig Carton** (3:09)
He made $2 billion on the sale of the Lakers.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:13)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (3:14)
Apparently, he still needs to cover about another $5 billion and he needs it liquid, all right? He doesn't have it liquid, which is why he's trying to bake and shake right now or shake and bake to try to bring in liquid dough so that when the feds do come in, he can say, we're clean. Everybody got their money back. Unfortunately for him, that's not the way the law works, okay? And I can speak to that from experience. The law don't work that way. As much as you want it to, making people whole after they start the investigation does not count. All right, that being said, the greatest flex of all time, all right?
