**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Yo, yo, 302 Carton Show. Great to have you here.
You get to send summer not over by a long shot. I'm enjoying myself. That's right, I took the launcher out there this morning. I had the, my grandfather gave me, it's one of the few things I've saved from him. He gave me a frog in Formaldehyde, a snake in Formaldehyde, okay? And he gave me the, what do you call those things? They're like tinfoil, like if you sat outside Satriani's Pork Store, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:33)
And you want to get some sun.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:34)
Yeah, like Polly Walnut.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:35)
Yeah, yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:37)
Yeah, I think it's just a, I don't even know what to call it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
It's like a reflector.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Yeah, so my grandfather gave me a silver reflector. So today, because I don't live in one of those fancy, pansy places like you guys do, I sat right outside with my silver reflector, just getting a couple rays, a couple rays of sunshine today.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:56)
I enjoyed the sun the last couple of days. It was nice.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
You can't tell, but... I can't. You can't. I would think that you're a good tanner.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:02)
I am. I'm very tanner.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
Because you have olive oily skin like I do.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:05)
Yeah, I'm tanned.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:07)
This is tanned for you? Fairly tanned, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:09)
I think maybe because you reshaved your arms, that I'm not seeing the tan as much as I would had you left the hair on them.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:14)
I don't shave.

**Craig Carton** (1:15)
And I didn't say this on Friday at Fanagas Fest with you.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:19)
But you were gonna.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
I was gonna, but I wasn't sure if it was a health issue or not.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:24)
For me?

**Craig Carton** (1:24)
No, not for you.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:25)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:26)
So when Robert Wall joined us.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:27)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:28)
Rob's in his seventies, right? I noticed that his forearms were bald also.
And I was, I bit my tongue a couple of times and I was gonna say, you guys have a lot more common than just baseball. You both shaved your forearms. Just to kiss you. And then I thought, what if he's got like alopecia or something? And I just want, I didn't want to be disrespectful because I love Bobby.
So I didn't bring it up. Did you notice that or no?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:55)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
You see, you don't have observance.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:57)
No, I don't look at people's forearms.

**Craig Carton** (1:59)
You'd be terrible if like someone robbed the bank and you were in there and the cops were like, what was he wearing?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
A mask.

**Craig Carton** (2:05)
I have no idea.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:07)
No.

**Craig Carton** (2:07)
Because he shaved his arms.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:08)
He shaved his arms.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:10)
I can tell you that right now. Good luck. First of all, you don't even know what shaved arms are because I don't shave my arms. I'm just not.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
So you say.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:17)
I'm not that. Look, they're there. The hair is there.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:20)
It's there a little bit.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:21)
Why would I leave that?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
Why would I leave that?

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
Because you missed the spot. No, come on.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
Look at all that hair. That's why you leave it.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:27)
No.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
Yeah.
I'm going to get you a manscaped razor, CK., not miss the spots you clearly have missed with the Bic.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:34)
I don't shave anything.

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
You know who used to shave with a ladies Bic, by the way?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
Who's that?

**Craig Carton** (2:41)
Former New York Met, former Texas Ranger, former Atlanta Brave, I believe is where he got his start, was supposed to be the next great natural.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:51)
Oh, Frank Korr?

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
Jeff Frank Korr. That's how Jeff and I met.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:56)
At a ladies Bic conference?

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
He was in the trainer's room down in Port St. Lucie, and he was getting a massage, and I noticed that he was hairless. I'm like, you shave? Your whole body?
And he goes, with a ladies Bic, as a matter of fact. Yeah, true story.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:12)
Okay, that's not me.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:13)
I'm just not that hairy. Never have been.

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:17)
Can't grow a beard, don't have arm hair.

**Craig Carton** (3:19)
You have facial hair for days, dude.
