If a girl were a thong to promote potato chips, would you eat them out of principle, Big Mac? Or does it matter who the girl is?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:07)
Would I eat them out of principle?

**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Yeah, yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:11)
That's a fair question. No, I don't know. That's not a fair question? No, no, it's not that it's unfair. I gotta be honest, and I apologize. I'm not sure what you mean by would I eat it out of principle.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
Out of principle? Like I appreciate you wearing a bikini to promote the potato chips?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
So I'll eat it.

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
So out of principle, I'm gonna try the potato chips, because you don't want to wear a bikini to promote them.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:29)
I think so.

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
What if that one was Heidi Klum?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
Then certainly.

**Craig Carton** (0:32)
Then certainly? Did you know that Heidi Klum owns a pizza place here in New York City called Crazy Pizza?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:37)
I didn't know that.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
And they walk around like swinging the dough above their heads. It's like more of a show than anything. I can't, I don't know if the pizza's any good, but Heidi Klum has a pizza place.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
Wacky Crazy Pizza.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
Wacky Crazy Pizza.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:48)
Make your own.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
She also has a potato chip brand now. What is it called? I don't know. But she wore a bikini to promote it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
I hope it's different than Gwyneth Paltrow's candles. Me too. Me too.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
I'll pass on Goop.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
Those chips I'm not interested in.

**Mookie Wilson** (1:02)
There's a lot of people that are getting lined for those chips.

**Craig Carton** (1:05)
Yeah, Heidi Klum. Gwyneth Paltrow has a candle and maybe a body soap too.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
Something, I don't know, a whole line of products.

**Craig Carton** (1:13)
That smells like her sexual essence. Is that a fair way to put it? Because I can't say what it is, right?
It's undefeated they say.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
It's undefeated.

**Craig Carton** (1:25)
They say.
So Heidi Klum came out of the potato chip brand and promoted it, I guess, by eating the chips in a bikini. But here's the problem with that. I don't know the name of the potato chips. Because I just...

**Chris McMonigle** (1:36)
Oh, you get lost in the... I get lost in the bikini thing. Yeah, I can see that.

**Craig Carton** (1:39)
And I got this other weird thing. And it's weird because I'm a dad and I'm a girl dad. Heidi Klum does have a daughter. Are you familiar with this?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
I mean, I guess I'm familiar she has a daughter.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Are you though?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
Here's what's weird.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
What's her name? I'm not as up to date on the attractive celebrities as much as you and apparently Hoff are.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
No, no.
Hoff, you know about Heidi Klum's daughter? I gotta make sure I'm turning out to the right gal here. I might have to before I say something, it gets me in trouble. It might not be her. It might be a different girl. One of these models has a daughter.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:17)
I don't know, is that her, though?

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
Is that her, though?
One of these former models has a daughter in her 20s who's clearly a model as well, but I'm not sure if it's Heidi's daughter. In any event, let's just double check that before Big Mac says something gets him in trouble.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:34)
Why would I say something gets me in trouble?

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
Because you frequently do, and I gotta cover for you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
I didn't say anything wrong.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
Yeah, you did. You said to the guys from Mustang Harry's that you would come to their place and do despicable things to their wings.
Like I gotta cover for you on that.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (2:51)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:52)
Should I have not said that?

**Craig Carton** (2:53)
You shouldn't have said I'd smack it or flip it or rub it down. That was weird to say about chicken.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:59)
I gotta be honest, I gotta plead ignorance on this one. That's not what you say about wings?

**Craig Carton** (3:02)
I mean, I'm with you on it. I thought that's what it was.
We're gonna mistreat those wings, I can tell you that. I'm being told that my main man, who is a dear friend of mine, who allowed my kids to treat him like a playground set one day and climb all over him, which is really wrong of my kids to do that. But he's also my favorite baseball player of all time. Ladies and gentlemen, number one Mr. Mookie Wilson. Mook, it's Craig and Big Mac. How you been, buddy?
