The Carton Show, Big Mac. NFL's in a little spot now with this Homeland Security theme, Brian Dawkins.
Chris McMonigle (0:07)
Are they?
Craig Carton (0:08)
Yeah, they sure are.
Do they get involved with politics, or do they not get involved with politics? Interesting place for them to be. I know they also don't care. They did hire Bad Bunny to be in a halftime show, despite most of America saying, poor gay.
Chris McMonigle (0:23)
I don't know if they're getting involved in politics. They're asking...
Craig Carton (0:26)
Well, it's just a political hot potato, you know that.
Chris McMonigle (0:28)
Yeah, but they're asking to not get involved in the hot potato.
SPEAKER_3 (0:31)
They're just saying, hey...
Chris McMonigle (0:33)
I'm happy with the hot potato or it should be a cold potato. They're saying I'd rather not play the game.
Craig Carton (0:39)
Fair, yes, which makes them involved, right?
Chris McMonigle (0:42)
I guess.
Craig Carton (0:43)
Because that maybe doesn't fit their interests so much. If it was a different thing the NFL was doing, that was more aligned with the NFL's political beliefs, perhaps they wouldn't say, boo, about it. Is that fair to say?
Chris McMonigle (0:54)
I mean, I guess, I don't know.
Craig Carton (0:56)
Neither do I. It's interesting though. Yeah. I'm fascinated by it. Do you think the...
Chris McMonigle (1:00)
Is it just as interesting that Homeland Security decides to, like...
SPEAKER_3 (1:03)
Do you think they take it down or not?
Chris McMonigle (1:05)
No, I don't think they will.
Craig Carton (1:06)
I don't think they do either. I think they're like...
Chris McMonigle (1:10)
No. Nothing wrong with... Is it illegal? I don't think it's illegal.
Craig Carton (1:13)
I don't think it's illegal. I guess the question is, do they have the rights to the photograph?
Chris McMonigle (1:17)
Yeah, I don't know.
Craig Carton (1:17)
Could it be some copyright law that they're...
Chris McMonigle (1:20)
Yeah, I mean, maybe they would have to, like, make sure there's no, like, Eagles lettering on it.
SPEAKER_3 (1:26)
I don't know about that. I guess we have to take the photograph.
Craig Carton (1:28)
Only the photograph, though, right?
Chris McMonigle (1:30)
I guess. I don't know.
Craig Carton (1:31)
Meanwhile, what's the, um... What's our Twitter account where I can see the results of this poll that we put up?
SPEAKER_3 (1:38)
Anybody know how to go over that? I don't know how to do that.
Chris McMonigle (1:40)
The Carton Show.
Craig Carton (1:41)
Where did, no, is it The Carton Show or WFAN? Do you know where we put the poll up there, Pete? Or no?
Any idea?
SPEAKER_4 (1:49)
It's at Carton Show WFAN.
Craig Carton (1:52)
We have our own Twitter handle?
Chris McMonigle (1:54)
Yes, we do.
Craig Carton (1:55)
Carton Show, Carton Show, hold on a second, nope. Carton Show?
SPEAKER_3 (2:01)
I've never seen our Twitter account.
Chris McMonigle (2:02)
Carton Show WFAN. Do you want me to tell you where we are right now?
Craig Carton (2:06)
It's the first, I didn't even know we had this. That's pretty cool.
Chris McMonigle (2:08)
Four minutes in.
Craig Carton (2:10)
Hang on a second, let me just take a quick look. All right, okay, I'm at eight minutes in.
Chris McMonigle (2:16)
Okay.
Craig Carton (2:17)
So, do you want to read first or I read first? All right, with 55 minutes to go.
Chris McMonigle (2:25)
So, that's five minutes in.
Craig Carton (2:26)
Yeah, but it says it was posted eight minutes ago, but whatever it means.
Chris McMonigle (2:29)
Okay, no, but that's, when you vote on it, that's...
Craig Carton (2:31)
51 votes. 57% against playing without officials.
Chris McMonigle (2:38)
I got 59
Craig Carton (2:39)
Bunch of sheep.
SPEAKER_3 (2:41)
It's only on, don't worry. Baa.
Chris McMonigle (2:44)
It's not, there's stuff that can be done and stuff that can't be done.
SPEAKER_3 (2:47)
Is that right? Can you both retweet that, please?
Chris McMonigle (2:50)
Oh, sure. Christmas. No, listen, you set this up. Don't get annoyed.
SPEAKER_3 (2:54)
I did it.
Chris McMonigle (2:54)
Can you go to like, play the game?
SPEAKER_4 (2:56)
Can you go to the TikTok page and the Instagram page too?
SPEAKER_3 (2:59)
No, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_4 (2:59)
Because we do have those social media handles as well.
Craig Carton (3:02)
Do we have the most views here at the radio station or no?
SPEAKER_4 (3:04)
Always.
Craig Carton (3:05)
By a lot or is it like close?
SPEAKER_3 (3:07)
A mile.
Craig Carton (3:08)
No, I'm being serious. What show has the most views?
