Hour 2: Craig does not want the Knicks parade route changed, debauchery at the parade, plus Ben Stiller is filming a Knicks documentary and the guys wonder how. That and much more.
You know how we do Carton Show, Big Mac, a little creed on a Friday. Why not? All right, so I've got an update for you, Biggs. Okay. First off, turn on this mic over here, Connor, if you don't mind. Tell everybody your first name, buddy. Thomas. Thomas, and is your dad the awesome, cool Big Mac on The Carton Show? Yes. Hi, Thomas, you're a Dioded Yankee fan, aren't you? Yes. And who is your favorite current Yankee on this Yankee team?
Current Yankee? Yeah, current Yankee, yeah. Anthony Volpe. Anthony Volpe, okay, nice job. Your dad does not like Anthony Volpe.
And I love the Louis Tren Yankee hat you're wearing. Yes. Who got you that hat? Uncle Craig. Uncle Craig, that's exactly right. All right, so I have a question for you. Right now, you and your pops are going to the Yankee game. You are sitting field level, a little bit behind home plate towards the third base side. Awesome tickets, right? Yeah. Talk right to that microphone. Go real good. Yeah. Awesome, right?
Behind door number B, I have an opportunity for you. Would you like to trade your current tickets tonight's game to see Cam Schliller pitch for something behind door number B? Or right now, you could tell me, Uncle Craig, you're happy with what you have, you want to sit where you're sitting and not take what's behind door number B. Now, before you make that choice, would you like to have some options of what door number B might be? Or do you just want to blindly tell me that you want to trade the tickets you have for what might be behind the other door?
So I'm totally up to you. There's no right, there's no wrong. So let me just walk you through this again. You could say, I'm happy with the tickets I have, they're great, we're going to the game sitting field level behind the plate. Or you can say, I'm willing to take the risk and take what's behind the other door not knowing what's behind the other door. What would you like to do, Thomas?
Tough decision, okay, you got to make the decision all by yourself. Your dad can't help you on this one. What do you want to do?
Would you like to hear some possibilities of what's behind the other door first? To help you make the decision? Yes. You would.
Okay, so behind door number two might be a case of Big League Chew grape flavored gum.
It might be goose poop.
It might be tickets in the owner's box for tonight's game. And it might be an old dirty previously worn Derek Jeter shirt.
Now, I'm not saying which one of those it is, but that's a possibility. So you might get goose poop. You might get goose poop. And then you're not going to tonight's game. Are you willing to trade the tickets you have, Thomas, for the surprise behind door number two?
Yes. Yes, he says. All right. Risk in the goose poop. All right. Well, the first thing I'll tell you is this. It is not a previously worn Derek Jeter shirt.
Okay. Okay. Meaning it is either take it to the owner's box.
Goose poop. Goose poop. Where's the other one? Big League Chew. Oh, on the case of Big League Chew. Yeah. So now you're down to three. I'm going to give you one more chance to hang on to the tickets you have and not risk getting goose poop. Would you like to go back to the tickets you have or you still want to take a shot at what's behind door number two?
I'm still taking it. Still taking a shot? All right. It is not a case of Big League Chew. Now we're down to two. Down to two. Now it's either goose poop. I've geese in my backyard with my chickens. All right. So I have plenty of it. So it's either a box of goose poop or it's two tickets in the owner's box for tonight's game. Unlimited food, unlimited soda, unlimited water. And you get to sit there in the owner's suite. Or you get goose poop. I'm going to give you one last chance. Would you like to hang on to the two field level tickets you and your dad have? Or you want to risk that you're getting goose poop and not going to the game tonight and going back home after our show?
I'm going to risk. You're going to risk it. Say I'm going to risk it. And you're going to take door number two, yes? Yes. Well, behind door number two is not goose poop. You and your father are sitting in the owner's box for tonight's game to see Kam Schlittler pitch for the New York Yankees. How's that? How awesome is that? Very good. Very good. Very, very good, right? Yeah. And because I know Andrew's at home and your awesome mom are at home saying, well, wait a minute, we like going to Yankee games too. I've got a surprise for them also. We are going to pick a random game later this summer, confirmed by the Yankees. I just talked to them and your entire family is going to get to go back to sit in the owner's box for a game. But there's one condition from the Yankees and that is, don't make a mess with all the free popcorn you're eating tonight. That's the only condition they got. Can you make that promise? Can you make that promise? I'll try. I'll try. So I want to thank the Yankees. They set it up. You are going to the Yankee game tonight. I have to work longer now. Yes. And you guys are going to sit in the owner's box for tonight's Yankees game. All right? You excited? All right. All right. You got it. Which now brings me to your dad. Yeah. You now have two extra tickets for tonight's game. That's true. Would you like to give them to the intern or to Connor? Me and Connor have had many. He sees it like I do. We are both boon defenders in there. Oh, is that right? Connor wants to go to the game. I can easily transfer those tickets over to Connor. Connor, would you like to go to tonight's Yankee games at field level just behind the plate on the third base side? I would like to, but I'm also a nice guy. So I will pass it to the intern if he wants to go. I will let him go. How about you take one and you give him the other one? That would work. Does that work for you? That would work. Sure. What's the intern's name?
