Craig Carton (0:00)

That's The Undefeated Jets! By the way, here's a quick quiz for you.

Chris McMonigle (0:11)

Oh, I like quizzes.

Craig Carton (0:12)

Alright, I'm gonna cheat and get the answer before I ask you the question, okay?

Chris McMonigle (0:17)

That's your favorite way to play games. You have all the answers, and we're on the hook.

Craig Carton (0:20)

I'm asking the questions, I need to know the answer.

Chris McMonigle (0:22)

I'm asking the question. Alex Trebek doesn't know them always.

Craig Carton (0:25)

Of course he does, it's in front of him.

Chris McMonigle (0:27)

He gets told once the thing is...

Craig Carton (0:29)

It's out of court, in front of him, he's dead. Anyway, yeah, he's not answered any questions.

Chris McMonigle (0:35)

You think Pat Sajak knew what was behind those letters?

Craig Carton (0:37)

I do not, as a matter of fact.

Chris McMonigle (0:38)

Vanna White kept that under wraps.

Craig Carton (0:40)

Yeah, Vanna White, here we go. When's the last time the New York Jets started a season off 2-0? And who was the coach when they did it? Can you take me higher?

To a place where blind men see. Go ahead.

Chris McMonigle (1:05)

Was it? Did they do it the year with?

Craig Carton (1:10)

The last time the New York Jets were 2-0.

Chris McMonigle (1:13)

2015?

Craig Carton (1:14)

2015 is your guess? Yeah. Final answer? Yeah.

The last time the New York Jets started off 2-0, they beat the Cleveland Browns 31-10 in week one.

Chris McMonigle (1:28)

Okay.

Craig Carton (1:29)

They then beat the Indianapolis Colts 20-7 in week two. They ended the season 10-6.

The head coach was Todd Bowles.

Chris McMonigle (1:41)

Yeah, it was his first year with Fitzpatrick.

Craig Carton (1:43)

The year was 2015

Chris McMonigle (1:48)

Look at that.

Craig Carton (1:49)

Nice job.

Chris McMonigle (1:50)

Do I know my Jets football or what?

Craig Carton (1:52)

11 years since the New York Jets started off the season 2-0. It's about time.

Chris McMonigle (1:59)

It's about time.

Craig Carton (1:59)

It's our time.

Chris McMonigle (2:00)

We need it.

Craig Carton (2:01)

What would the Knicks do? Booyakasha.

Chris McMonigle (2:06)

They started off 2-0 this year. Who, the Knicks?

Craig Carton (2:08)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (2:08)

I think they did. They started like, didn't they win the first 2-0 season?

Craig Carton (2:12)

Who knows? They won a championship. What would the Knicks do? Yeah, they'd win. They'd win. By the way, if I'm the Jets, I invite Jalen Brunstown for the coin toss.

Chris McMonigle (2:20)

They would have Cat run the offense and change who they are. Let's do that.

Craig Carton (2:23)

Yeah, at the last minute. Exactly. Hey, Breece Law, you're quarterback.

That's what Mike Brown said we should do.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

Yeah, that's the key.

Craig Carton (2:30)

Here's John in Long Island on the fan. Johnny, how are you, buddy?

SPEAKER_4 (2:35)

Hey, what's up, Carton and C-Mac? Do what we do.

I wanted to talk to you about something, but since I was waiting and listening, I kind of want to touch on that other subject because you want examples. I have a million of them.

SPEAKER_3 (2:49)

Well, let me ask you a question.

Craig Carton (2:50)

What other subject are we talking about, sir?

SPEAKER_4 (2:54)

About, like, you see, it depends on how you want it, what you want to call bullying.

SPEAKER_3 (2:58)

I don't think you say bad words to this guy.

Craig Carton (3:00)

I have zero interest in taking phone calls from people that are going to be uber sensitive to two men speaking to each other. So if you call them to talk about Jets, Green Bay, let's do that. I'll leave it to Mike and Eastchester to call in next week.

Chris McMonigle (3:15)

I have no interest in this.

Craig Carton (3:16)

You know why, with all due respect? Because when I look down, I see a penis and balls between my legs, and I act like I have that between my legs.

Chris McMonigle (3:26)

And I've been telling you to wear pants every day, but you just refuse.

Craig Carton (3:29)

This sensitive, oh, I don't like how you talk to Big Mac. Get over yourself.

SPEAKER_4 (3:35)

I don't personally care. I don't personally care. I just was going to give you an example, but yeah.

Craig Carton (3:39)

Okay, give me an example.

SPEAKER_4 (3:42)

All right, well, since you want to talk about wearing pants, you told him that he's killing masculinity by the way he dresses, and then he made everybody else make fun of him too, and had people call in and make fun of him and all that. When he wanted to give you an example.
