Hour 2: Gallo Knows Nothing About Actors

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
Niko, how old are you, by the way?

**Craig Carton** (0:02)
I turned 27 on Friday.

**Craig Carton** (0:04)
Oh, so start acting like it, will you, please? Unless you're like an old soul or something like that. He's 27 this Friday?

**Craig Carton** (0:11)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
Are you gonna be here on Friday or no?

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
I'm happy.

**Craig Carton** (0:15)
What are you doing for your birthday?

**Craig Carton** (0:17)
Uh, so Friday night, I'm playing in a men's league softball game.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
There you go, as you should. It'd be nice if we had more guys who wanted to play softball on here. A lot of guys like to talk about sports, so they hate playing sports.

**Craig Carton** (0:27)
Apparently.

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
Yeah, but not only that, a lot of guys like to talk about people that do play sports, but never show their face in front of those people that play sports. A lot of that going around here too. I'm sorry, what else did you say?

**Niko** (0:38)
And then Saturday, I'm throwing a party.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
For yourself? Uh, yeah.
Well, I mean, you know. Don't you have any friends or family alive that love you?

**Niko** (0:46)
Of course, yeah, everybody's coming.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
Yeah, so you're like, hey everybody, it's my birthday, I'm throwing myself a party. Yo, come in. Is it like, everybody's got to bring one item to the party kind of thing? Or what is it?

**Niko** (0:57)
I came up with the idea and now my brother's the one planning it.

**Craig Carton** (1:00)
So you're like to your brother, hey Billy, I'm turning 27, I'd like you to throw me a party for my birthday? Right. Is that kind of deal?

**Niko** (1:07)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:07)
Got it. Listen, all right, where's the party at? Like house or?

**Niko** (1:10)
Yeah, my backyard.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
Your backyard?

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
He's not having a party. He's having everybody over to hang out for his birthday.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
That's common. I celebrate me.

**Craig Carton** (1:19)
At 26

**Craig Carton** (1:19)
Birthday party.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
Yeah, of course.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
What he's doing. It just sucks that like your brother and your friends didn't come to you and say, hey, we know next Friday is your birthday. We want to throw you a party. Yo, what time works? You got to say to them, hey guys, it's my birthday. I want you guys to throw me a party at my house.

**Craig Carton** (1:39)
Bring all your friends.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
Yeah, bring somebody, somebody. Now, do you live with your folks now?
Yes. So it's your child at home. Got it. Well, that's going to be great. Yeah. You got a pool in the backyard?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
I do.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Yeah. In ground.
Nice. I like that.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:55)
That's a flex right there.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
You guys could come if you want. We were invited. Thanks for the invite. Well, that's a BS invitation, to be honest with you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:02)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:02)
And Craig's big on deadlines and you are way past.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
You're way past the deadline for me to change my plans for the weekend to go to your birthday party.

**Craig Carton** (2:09)
Plus, there's a good chance I don't remember your name tomorrow, to be honest with you.
Because you produced yesterday's show and I said to Big Mac off the air, have I met Niko before? He goes hundreds of times.

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
At least a couple.

**Craig Carton** (2:24)
I'm like, I don't think so.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
Just the name didn't stick out.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
I told you, it stuck out to me. I love the name though.

**Craig Carton** (2:29)
It stuck out with my kids. We came here.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:31)
The name Niko?

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
The last.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:33)
Yeah, it's a memorable name.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
In January, whatever, we came here with the boys. I forget exactly why. Had to do the show with them. Or I came here just to do something, I forget. They go home, my mother's like, so you went to daddy's work, how was that? What'd you guys do?
First thing from both of them, we met Niko, the first thing they said, because he was on the board that day. We came in for a Saturday show, maybe, I forget what it was.

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
We met Niko. I was like, oh, they met Niko. I took him for breakfast.
