Hour 1: Willie Colon on Yankees-Dodgers Recap and Cam Skattebo's Backflip Scare

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Two o'clock straight up! It's The Carton Show with Big Mac. Great to have you here on a gorgeous Monday afternoon in New York City. Lots cooking after the World Cup finale yesterday. Cam Skattebo scaring all Giants fans, and the Yankees salvaging one out of three against the LA Dodgers. We got lots to talk about today. Phone number to join as always, 888-808-1019.
And filling in for the big fella today is another big fella. I only work with heavy set people now. Part of my contract is my main man, Mr. Willie Anthony, Aloysius Colon. Willie, good afternoon, good to see you pal. How you been?

**Willie Colon** (0:40)
What's going on, brother? Thanks for having me on.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Yes. Dressed like you just came from the golf course.

**Willie Colon** (0:44)
Man, no, this is dad wear. I'm the cargo shorts, new balance takers, polo shirt.

**Craig Carton** (0:51)
No socks.

**Willie Colon** (0:52)
My wife gave me a compliment on the way out the door. She was like, oh, you look good. I was like, I didn't feel good.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:58)
No, but now was it strange to get a compliment at this point?

**Willie Colon** (1:02)
Well, sometimes, you know, the wives can be a little harsh.

**Craig Carton** (1:05)
They're the harshest, the harshest because they know you the best.

**Willie Colon** (1:08)
Yeah. She gives me like, you look fat and that. I'm like, well, it's Tuesday.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
It's a day that ends in a Y. You have lost a considerable amount of weight, though.

**Willie Colon** (1:16)
I try to keep it tight.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
I'm not sure if it's because you got rid of the dreads or not.

**Willie Colon** (1:19)
I think that's a little bit. You have like you've you've shrunk.

**Craig Carton** (1:23)
Yes, because I'm boxing. I box every night in a warehouse against 80 year old men.

**Willie Colon** (1:26)
Do you really?

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
That's it.
To me and the 80 year olds, it's not called Rumble. It's just a nondescript warehouse that you couldn't find on a map. And they got a ring in there. And they've got kind of like Fight Club, but it exists. And it's heavy bags and speed bags and weights and whatnot. And if you go in and you want some, you can get some for you. But when I go in, because my hours are different than most people, I'm fighting against retirees.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
That want smoke or no smoke?

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
Give smoke, want smoke, get smoke. Yeah, the whole thing. Some of them are like ex-military guys. Some are just you guys who are tired of playing shuffleboard in Sarasota.

**Willie Colon** (2:05)
They know who you are?

**Craig Carton** (2:06)
Some of them do.

**Willie Colon** (2:07)
Are they aware of your background?

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
The ones that beat me find out real quick.
All right. So we got lots of cooking. I never thought a million years I'd open up a show talking about Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber and the Muppets. But I've got to raise my hand and ask you a question.
When you sit in a room and you get together to plan out as these organizations do, like the Super Bowl does, what would be the best halftime show if you've got an audience worldwide, where the capital be billions of people watching? Now, I know Madonna's got a new album out. I haven't heard of it. People say it's actually pretty good, surprisingly. But I want to know who thought that Madonna not singing one of her biggest hits into animal playing the drums.

**Willie Colon** (2:55)
Like a virgin?

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
From the Muppets. Yes, sure.
Into Justin Bieber singing like a religious hymn.

**Willie Colon** (3:04)
Hallelujah.

**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Okay. Into Shakira shaking her hips at her ass like she's done for 30 years.

**Willie Colon** (3:11)
Wasn't mad at it.

**Craig Carton** (3:12)
Into children from a Michael Jackson video, right? Who thought that that's what the world wanted to see at halftime?

**Willie Colon** (3:21)
One of the things I took away from that, and I understand Shakira has, she's performed multiple times I think during the World Cup.

**Craig Carton** (3:26)
And I think that's like the World Cup song that she sang, right? She wrote it for the World Cup? Okay.

**Willie Colon** (3:31)
Two things I took away from that performance. Burnaboy who is a big time artist, like a glow, you don't know who Burnaboy is.

**Craig Carton** (3:38)
I do not.

**Willie Colon** (3:39)
He's huge.

**Craig Carton** (3:40)
He was the African American man who looked like a giant, correct? Okay.
