Another one of people said that Noah Mclain was gonna be the next Tom Seaver here for the Mets.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:09)
Ha ha ha ha!

**Chris McMonigle** (0:10)
He's not been good. He's been very disappointed.

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
Not good at all.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
He's no Kam Schlittler.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
No, we'll get to that later on.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:16)
That's for sure.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
I wanna bring the show down.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
That's right.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
I will tell you that the Mets lost 10 to 3 Yep. Noah Mclain takes another round of the chin.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
They have given up 40 runs in their last four games.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
Which I think is not good.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
That's not good.

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
That's historically probably pretty bad, yeah?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
It's bad.

**Craig Carton** (0:31)
Well, they get to do it again tonight at 710 So those of you that are leaving Citi Field now, trying to find a local diner, a place to go to chill, and you're going back to Citi Field tonight.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
First off, God bless you.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
Happy to have you on the show today. Happy to have you here.
Yikes, what's that, 11 games under 500 out?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:48)
11 games under 500

**Craig Carton** (0:50)
You know, with only seven games out of the last wild card spot, guys, I really think that if they have a decent July, they could get right back in it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:59)
No, they're becoming irrelevant.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
I told Tommy that's why positive Tommy doesn't work beyond just a bit. It doesn't work, right? Like, if you want a long career, you better pivot quickly. Because the notion of, yeah, if we win eight straight games in mid-July, we're gonna be right. No, you're not. You're not. It's over.
Your 11 games under 500, stop. I thought I told him, I go, look, the positive thing can work for one team in one moment.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
But that's why he's ever changing. He's got a whole bunch of new ones.
He's got all kinds of Tommies. He would know some of them. Tommy Temperature Check, Tommy the Trendsetter, Tommy the Trendsetter, Tommy the Momma's Boy. Tommy the Mommies, Momma's Boy.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
You know what it is? To me, it's too much Tommy.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
I can tell you this, I only have one thing.

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
And he looks right in the camera, he's angry all the time.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
I know.

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
For now, he's positive, he's pissed off.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
I've told him that too, I don't know what it is. But like his videos, there's like an off putting part of the way he looks at the camera.

**Craig Carton** (2:01)
Because he's kind of like cross-eyed and angry.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:03)
I don't know what it is. Again, I believe me, I'm not trying to say that I look great when I look at the camera or whatever, but there's something about his that are like off putting. You know what it is? I don't want even, I'm like, I'm listening, I don't watch.

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
I'm not saying you or I are your God's gift to looking good on camera.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:18)
No, not at all.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
But, some people should never be on camera.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:21)
You think he's?

**Craig Carton** (2:22)
He's more one of the best guys.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:24)
He's got a little bit of the eyes too close together.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
He's got runaway bright eyes.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:27)
He's a good looking guy.

**Craig Carton** (2:28)
Got great hair. He's a lot of fun to be with. I love Tommy.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:31)
No, Tommy's a great guy. I'm saying, I don't even think it's that he's tough to look at, because obviously he's a good looking guy.

**Craig Carton** (2:37)
No, he's tough to look at.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
But the video, there's something about the way he speaks and looks into the camera that's like off putting. It looks like...

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
It's almost like he's got a hot poker up his ass. Like he just got branded to work at Yellowstone or something.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:48)
It's like Jeffrey Dahmer telling the stories of...

**Craig Carton** (2:51)
Hey, are you Filipino? Come to my house.
What's for dinner? You. You ever see the movie Eating Raul?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
No.

**Craig Carton** (3:01)
It's like a 1970s cult classic.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:03)
Eating Raul?

**Craig Carton** (3:04)
You're not old enough to have even heard of it.
