Chris McMonigle (0:00)

Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart's Roommate Show Block Party is presented by DoorDash at Randall's Island Park on September 24th.

Craig Carton (0:07)

You know why it's at Randall's Island?

Chris McMonigle (0:10)

No.

Craig Carton (0:11)

Because the first venue sold out in 30 seconds, and the demand was so overwhelming that they had to move it to a bigger space. that they had to change the venue to accommodate more people.

Chris McMonigle (0:21)

How about that?

SPEAKER_3 (0:22)

Yeah, that's what happens on New York Champion.

Chris McMonigle (0:23)

That's what happens. Remember, it's on September 24th, and it's courtesy of Medium Rare. To purchase tickets, visit roommateslive.com.

Craig Carton (0:30)

Yeah, people, that's what happens when you're a champion in New York City.

Chris McMonigle (0:34)

You get on the Emmys. You run block parties at Randall Island. That's right.

Craig Carton (0:39)

He's also going to be jailing. I don't know about Josh Hart, but jailing's also on an episode of Law and Order. He plays a detective on Law and Order.

SPEAKER_3 (0:48)

No way. Yes, he does.

Chris McMonigle (0:49)

Josh Hart's doing the Yankee bobblehead giveaway?

Craig Carton (0:52)

Yeah, we reached out to have Josh on for the bobblehead. I'm not sure that's out right now, but... Yeah, to the victors go the spoils.

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

That's right.

Craig Carton (0:59)

Do you also know the familial connection that Josh Hart has to the New York Yankees?

Chris McMonigle (1:07)

Yeah, someone's his uncle or something.

SPEAKER_3 (1:10)

Uh-huh.

Chris McMonigle (1:11)

Someone's his uncle.

Craig Carton (1:11)

Yeah, not just somebody.

Chris McMonigle (1:13)

No, I know, it's significant.

Craig Carton (1:14)

Pretty famous person in Yankee and American history.

Chris McMonigle (1:18)

Oh, Elston Howard.

Craig Carton (1:19)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:20)

That's right.

Craig Carton (1:20)

So I guess Elston Howard's his uncle.

So there you go. So born a Yankee fan, Josh Hart. Right.

Chris McMonigle (1:27)

Yeah, very much so.

Craig Carton (1:28)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:28)

He's always tweeting about the Yankees.

Craig Carton (1:30)

He's a Yankee fan and now he's got a Yankee bobblehead.

Chris McMonigle (1:33)

You can trust Aaron Judge and Josh Hart.

Craig Carton (1:35)

Can't trust Aaron Judge for the rest of this season sadly.

Chris McMonigle (1:37)

Yes you can.

Craig Carton (1:38)

But let's hope he does play well and hits a couple of bombs against the Red Sox. That'll make everybody forget about it.

Chris McMonigle (1:43)

That'll make everybody happy.

Craig Carton (1:44)

Yeah, I'm going to throw that. Coming up after 3 o'clock, another Mets scandal. And we have video evidence to back it up. So it's not like he said, she said either. Here's Doug and New Rochelle on the fan. Dougie, how are you? How are you?

Come on, Doug.

SPEAKER_3 (2:02)

I'm good.

Craig Carton (2:02)

What's up, Doug?

SPEAKER_3 (2:04)

I'm good. I'm good. But I just want to like, I'm not a doctor, first of all. But when they say lower leg injury, and it's not when you see a twist in the ankle. Is it a calf or a hamstring?

Craig Carton (2:17)

That's what it is.

SPEAKER_3 (2:18)

Yeah. It's almost always assuredly a calf strain. Yeah. And that the fact they took him out of the game, it's a significant calf, you know, injury.

Chris McMonigle (2:27)

I mean, we don't know that. I mean, why, you know.

SPEAKER_3 (2:30)

No, I don't. It was enough to take him out of the game.

Chris McMonigle (2:32)

That's it. Yeah. He called it tightness. He said he would play through it under normal circumstances. He felt it in the first and did play through it. Like we just don't know. It could be a strain. It could be a strain, low enough grade where he'll play through it. I have no idea.

Like that's what I'm saying. He's going to be compromised. I understand that.

Craig Carton (2:47)

That's why I'm saying you can't trust him.

Chris McMonigle (2:48)

But we don't know what it is. If Judge was asked also if he expects to have testing and he said, I don't know, I don't think so.

Craig Carton (2:55)

But again, not his choice.

Chris McMonigle (2:57)

No, not his choice.

Craig Carton (2:58)

Medical staff is going to give him an MRI, 100%.

Chris McMonigle (3:00)

They absolutely are.

Craig Carton (3:00)

He's worth too much to the franchise. Not to put him in an MRI.

Chris McMonigle (3:04)

My point is being like, we can't just say we know he's going to be out for the year or we know it's a significant injury. We don't know any of that.

And they would take him out of the game for anything. That's the one thing I do want to say.
