**Craig Carton** (0:00)
A little Pearl Jam on a Wednesday.
888-808-109, that's the phone number to join. Carton Show with Big Mac. Great to have you here.
Of course, this is the, I think the ESPYs are tonight, maybe. So this is the last day without baseball. Mets are back tomorrow. Yankees are back on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. And then we are one week away from the start of NFL Training Camp. Yes, sir. Bum bum bum bum!

**Chris McMonigle** (0:27)
Couple things with what you just said. One, do you care less about anything in the world than the ESPYs? Because I honestly, I do not care about the ESPYs at all. I could not care less about the ESPYs.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
I'm with you on that as well.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:39)
I mean, I guess I'm rooting for, the only thing I saw that I might be rooting for is the tip, just the tip to win play of the year. And maybe the Knicks to win team of the year.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
But outside of that, I could not care less about the ESPYs either.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:52)
And you, there's one thing that we haven't really talked about, there's nothing to discuss. I'm not saying we should spend time on it. But we are waiting for one thing.
I don't know when we're going to get it. I don't know when it's going to happen.

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
Aaron Judge update?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:05)
We need an Aaron Judge update.

**Craig Carton** (1:06)
Is that what we're talking about?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:07)
We've been taking pictures during the All Star break. This is the All Star break.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
He's also going to be at Fanatics Fest with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart on the Roommates Podcast.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:19)
What day of the week is that?

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
I have to double check. I have to double check.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:22)
Alright, they're back on Friday. My gut is that's when we're going to have to wait until Friday when the team gets back together. But, that's the biggest thing going on right now.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
Because they took the imaging, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
They're supposed to this week. So, at some point, I'm waiting every day for Judge News.

**Craig Carton** (1:36)
So why don't you call your buddy?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:38)
I could text him.

**Craig Carton** (1:38)
Why don't you reach out to your buddy? He's not going to give you the answer.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
I can reach out to my buddy and just say, hey, good luck in the second half. As soon as you get that Judge News free feed.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
Although today's Wednesday and he's not going to respond to you today.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
Why not?

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
Because during the All-Star break, he disappears. He and his family go away.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
I'm sure.

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
So they go away, no phones, no communication, a three-day reset. Now, obviously, they open Friday, not Thursday. But I'm sure he's back Thursday is my gut. But you are not going to reach out and boon today. It's a wife and kids, if his kids are available, most of them are older right now. He's got one kid left in high school.
It's getaway, no phones, no computers, piña coladas for everybody. That's what it is.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:21)
Because he couldn't do it last year, he was managing the game. So I'm sure this year was even more, let's get away.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
Yeah, it's like a reset. It's like a refresher. And speaking of that, Pete, can you tell sales, I need official piña colada company of The Carton Show, Big Mac, please. We need to get that locked in prior to August 1st, because August is piña colada month.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:41)
Is it really?

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
In our world, yeah. And I need an official piña colada supplier.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:45)
I'm okay with piña coladas.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
I'm sorry?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:47)
I'm okay with them.

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
No, you love piña coladas. It's your favorite frozen drink of all time.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
It's my favorite frozen drink of all time.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
There you go. Nice. Well played there. Although I will say there is one other frozen drink that I am a complete sucker for, but you can't have like five of them the way you want to, because you'll gain 10 pounds that day.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:04)
That's most of them.

**Craig Carton** (3:04)
The frozen mudslide.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:06)
Yeah, the mudslide's excellent.

**Craig Carton** (3:07)
My Lord.
