Speakers: Chris McMonigle, Craig Carton
**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
Oh, that was the Corona Lime Time Highlight of the Night presented by Corona. La Playa awaits.
Yes. Yeah.

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

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
Corona.

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
Yeah. Where's my six pack of Corona?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:14)
Oh, Gallo.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
I told you you gave me a six pack of Corona.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
I think.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
And a couple of limes for today's show.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:19)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
Since Corona's a big sponsor of our Nick coverage and some of the watch parties that Tommy's been doing and the Halftime Show that we're doing.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
So I'm going to be drinking Corona's Friday night.

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
You better be drinking Corona's, yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:32)
Will be.

**Craig Carton** (0:32)
Since you're partying without me on Friday night.
Didn't get that invite. Got seven buddies coming into town. Never would have no point.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
Chopped down to five.

**Craig Carton** (0:41)
Hey, down to five.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
Down to five.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
Two guys bailed?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:44)
Two guys bailed.

**Craig Carton** (0:45)
On Nick's game two with you?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:47)
Well, I mean.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
Big star in New York City?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:48)
Maybe I jumped the gun saying seven to undecided became no's, which is a bummer, but.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
Oh, is that because they're, you know.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:59)
Threatened by my success?

**Craig Carton** (1:00)
They answered to the little lady at home in their homes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
I think that's it, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
So they couldn't get a hall pass to party with the big star?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:05)
That's it.

**Craig Carton** (1:06)
Maybe you got too big for them. Maybe they're jealous of your success.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:10)
I think they know that.

**Craig Carton** (1:10)
Meanwhile, they should assume you're going to cover the tab, so.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:12)
I think they know that I've outgrown them, and so they're just, you know, they don't want to.

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
I think that might be it. By the way, is Corona giving you any Corona dollars for the Friday night Boys Night Out?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
I don't think so. What's Corona dollars? Just dollars for Corona?

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
Maybe I spoke at a turn. I have a Corona Gold Card. They don't do black card because Corona is gold.
I have a Corona Gold Card, so it entitles me to free Corona wherever I go in the world.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
How about that?

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
Yeah, so there you go. Yeah, it's pretty good.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
That's a good one.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
I love my Corona Gold Card.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
Do you keep these cards in a wallet or in a drawer?

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
So when I go to, for example, Lucky Strike, I have a Lucky Strike card. So if I'm going to Lucky Strike, I bring the Lucky Strike card.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:58)
Everyone has a Lucky Strike card. They hand them out.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
No, no. I have a card you don't have. I have my own ball.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
And your own ball that you keep there?

**Craig Carton** (2:05)
I have a gold Lucky Strike ball, yes, with my name on it. It used to be Bolero. They bought it at Lucky Strike.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:11)
You just walk in and you show them the ball and they're like, you got any lane?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:16)
You got any lane you want?

**Craig Carton** (2:17)
It's exactly how it works. Yes.
I have the courtesy of calling in advance because I'm not a douche knuckle like that. I tell them I'm coming. That way the lane is ready when I get there.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
Do you have it a certain way you like it oiled?

**Craig Carton** (2:30)
No. I like baby powder though, in front of the stripe. I don't bowl without baby powder.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:35)
What do you mean?

**Craig Carton** (2:36)
I put baby powder on the floor so that I can slide into my throw. Because now you go to a bowling alley, unless you have your own shoes that are nice and shabby.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:47)
I've never seen that in my life. Someone lays down baby powder?

**Craig Carton** (2:51)
Yes. Hands of God.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:53)
I don't know if they allow that. You better not get it on the lane.

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
Goes all over the lane?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
No.

**Craig Carton** (2:58)
And the lane next to mine as well?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
No. Like the bowling lane?
