**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Lionel Richie, I will never forgive you, Lionel Richie. By the way, he's back at The Carton coming up, as a matter of fact.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:06)
I think he is.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
I'll never forgive you, Lionel.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
There you go. I'll never forgive you.
Walking in, he cancels the show and our efforts are supposed to start, Lionel Richie. Matter of fact, I should make Lionel Richie have to come into the studio and do a sit down with us till we can move past that. Because I love Lionel Richie. I love the Commodores.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:44)
Yeah, I'm sure you do.

**Craig Carton** (0:44)
I do. But I want to go see him.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
Before you know it, five minutes in, Big Mac singing Dancing on the Ceiling. You know, I know how it goes.

**Craig Carton** (0:50)
Dancing on the ceilings. If I was going to have you sing a Lionel Richie song.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:55)
Hello.

**Craig Carton** (0:56)
Would it be hello?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
That's what I would do. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
How could you not, right? Is it me you're looking for?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
Yeah. Yeah, I didn't see it that night. No.

**Craig Carton** (1:10)
Lionel Richie. Dead to me.
Until he apologizes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:15)
Personally to you.
Yes. He needs to personally apologize to you.

**Craig Carton** (1:19)
Matter of fact, he's going to be at the Garden. Can you check the date? I know he's coming up soon. He's going to be at the Garden, I think, with... I want to say Earth, Wind & Fire, whatever's left of them.
Fact check me on that. Anyway, I'd like him to go on stage and say, look, I know a year ago, a year and a half ago, I kind of blew you guys off and screwed you, but I want to let you know to Craig Carton. I'm sorry.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
Lionel Richie with Earth, Wind & Fire, Masson Square Garden, Saturday, July 11th.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
July 11th.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:47)
Next Saturday. All right.

**Craig Carton** (1:48)
Well, there you go.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
And then he'll be at UBS.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Got it. Yeah, but I only care about the garden.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
Well, I'm just telling you, he'll be at UBS.

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
Yeah, but I'm not going to go see him at UBS. I'll see him at the garden.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:57)
I'm just giving information to the people.

**Craig Carton** (1:59)
Yeah, but he didn't blow off the people at UBS, he blew off the people at the garden. Oh, all right. Three days later. I wonder when Lionel's going to get into town.
He didn't get into town on the 11th.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:12)
Well, he'll be in Hartford on the 10th, so he better get back. He'll be in Boston on the 8th, he'll be in Canada for the 4th of July.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
Is that right?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
That seems un-anti-American.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:21)
He'll be in Toronto on July 4th.

**Craig Carton** (2:22)
You have big July 4th plans celebrating our 250th?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
We go to a buddy's house, we've been doing it the last three or four years.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
That's nice.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
He's got a nice pool, he's got two young sons like mine.

**Craig Carton** (2:30)
Is it a potluck thing, like you and Sarah have to bring something?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:33)
Sarah's a big pie person.

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
Just for July 4th or just any time?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
If we go places, she usually brings pie. There's like a good, very pie place. No.

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
I'm sorry?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
No, she doesn't make pie.

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
So she's not a pie person.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:45)
She's a pie purchaser.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
She's a pie purchaser person.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:47)
She's a purchaser of pie and she's a bringer of pie.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
Yeah, but that's to me... I'd be offended by that.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:54)
Why would you be offended by that?

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Like if I'm having you over, like we have a stock thing, you guys always come over to my place for July 4th, as is with your friend.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
We usually bring like...
