**Craig Carton** (0:00)
On the streets of New York City, if you said Going Back to Cali, the answer is LL Cool J.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:05)
Oh, definitely not. Definitely not.

**Craig Carton** (0:09)
Do you want me to put a poll up?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:10)
Yeah, please.

**Craig Carton** (0:11)
Okay, I'll do a one-hour poll.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
Do a one-hour poll.

**Craig Carton** (0:13)
Four to five o'clock?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:14)
Going Back to Cali is a Biggie song.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
It's on life after death, man.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
Who do you think people most associate Going Back to Cali with? Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:23)
Biggie.

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:25)
Over LL Cool J, yes.

**Craig Carton** (0:28)
Okay. I don't know why you set yourself up to lose these things.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
I didn't.

**Craig Carton** (0:32)
But you do.

**Anthony** (0:35)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:35)
I got to choose a coast. I got to choose the east.

**Anthony** (0:38)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:38)
I live out there, so don't go there.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
Okay. Hold on. I'll put it up right now. Going Back to Cali, more associated with whom? Okay?
LL Cool J1.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:50)
That's fine.

**Craig Carton** (0:51)
Biggie 2

**Chris McMonigle** (0:51)
Yep.

**Craig Carton** (0:52)
It's gonna be a one-hour poll.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:53)
One-hour poll.

**Craig Carton** (0:54)
All right. And we have an agreement, you and I. The results of the poll, we have to go with.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Fair. Is that fair?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
Fair.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
Whether we like it or agree with it or not.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:04)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:05)
We go with the results of the poll.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:06)
Sure.

**Craig Carton** (1:07)
Your poll, Going Back to Cali, oh, I just want some more. Hold on.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
More associated. Sorry about that.
More associated with whom? Choice 1, LL Cool J, Choice 2, Biggie. Is that fair?

**Petey** (1:20)
Sure.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
Okay. I'm gonna hit post, and I posted it. Petey, who's your vote be on that?

**Petey** (1:26)
Biggie.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
Really? Yeah.

**Pete** (1:29)
Huh.

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Hmm.

**Pete** (1:30)
I know the LL Cool J song very much.

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
I'm not suggesting you don't. Okay.
You're gonna lose also. That's two losers, one winner.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:38)
I'm gonna re-post it.

**Craig Carton** (1:39)
Please do. Now, did you vote? Because I have not voted.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
I don't think I'm allowed to vote because I posted it. So you're not allowed to vote either. All right. If I lose by one vote, I know it's going to be you. All right. We'll see. That's a one-hour poll right there. All right. We have 11 votes in already.
And early returns, 11 votes in, 73 percent, Biggie. Okay. By the way, very early on.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:08)
Very early on?

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
It's like the LA mayoral election.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
No. 11 votes way too early. I thought Pat was winning it.

**Craig Carton** (2:12)
All of a sudden, comfortable hind horse took it over.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:15)
But there's only an hour, so you don't have the overnight gang to just, you know, stock the ballot.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
That was just the first 11 votes, okay? I cannot believe...

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
You're gonna get beat on this one.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
You think so? Yeah. Okay. We're gonna find out.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
I just think so.

**Craig Carton** (2:30)
Okay. We're gonna find out.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:31)
I think most of us...

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Do you think if we were doing the show in Jersey, you'd be different?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:34)
No. I think if we were doing the song in 1989, it'd be different.
Okay. If we were doing the poll in 1989

**Craig Carton** (2:40)
You think it'd be different?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:41)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
All right.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
Well, whatever year, Going Back to Cali came back, I don't even know the LL Cool J's one.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
Yes, you do.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:46)
I don't.

**Craig Carton** (2:47)
I sang it for you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:48)
I don't know it.

**Craig Carton** (2:49)
Petey, get Going Back to Cali, LL Cool J, please. I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali. I'm going back to Cali.

**Gallagher** (2:57)
No, I don't think so.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
No?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
That one also seems repetitive. I think he likes repetitive stuff.

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
Yes, quite repetitive.
