Hour 3: McMonigle and Kostos Relive Heartbreaking New York Sports Losses

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
All right, little Ja Rule to get us going at 354

**Nick Kostos** (0:04)
Not Ja Rule.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:06)
I was seeing if he picked up on it. I was seeing if he picked up.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:10)
You paying attention?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
I should have said, I was thinking about DMX, but that is so...

**Nick Kostos** (0:14)
You couldn't have different voices than DMX and Nelly.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:16)
I couldn't have done, so I came up with Ja Rule, although he doesn't sound much like Nelly either. But we have a bit on the show where we, Craig mainly, because he comes in and out of breaks, where we just get every single rejoin wrong and say, oh, I love a little Stone Temple Pilots when it's Pearl Jam, whatever. And the outrage that we get from people either wanting to call in on Twitter, like it's hilarious. I blew it there. No, no, I did it on purpose just to see what your reaction would be. I didn't let you in on the bit, so how would you know?

**Nick Kostos** (0:43)
Well, because you said it and I was like this. I don't think that's Ja Rule.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
But people get so mad.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:47)
I can't believe they don't know it's Duran Duran.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:49)
Oh my God, that's embarrassing. You should be embarrassed. I'm like, relax, guys. We do it over and over and over again. Nobody ever gets it.

**Nick Kostos** (0:56)
People just get mad at everything.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:57)
People get mad at everything. It's nothing but people getting mad. That's what life has become everywhere I go.
You can drive in the car. The amount of people.

**Nick Kostos** (1:05)
Well, it's always been like this.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
Has it? We may be just not...

**Nick Kostos** (1:09)
Absolutely. You're just an adult now.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
I'm just an adult now.
We just did a whole segment yesterday on how I'm actually a child at heart. And I do nothing.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
You are. You are wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:19)
I'm wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt. Are you a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle guy?

**Nick Kostos** (1:22)
Who isn't? Men of a certain age. I'm 43 I grew up watching them, of course.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
Absolutely. Do you have a favorite Ninja Turtle?

**Nick Kostos** (1:28)
I have a weird answer to this question. I do. Would you like to guess who it is? Well, based on what I said, you should be able to guess.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:33)
April O'Neil?

**Nick Kostos** (1:33)
Well, no. A turtle.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:35)
Not an ancillary character.

**Nick Kostos** (1:36)
Ancillary characters, Bebop and Rocksteady.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
I think that's fair.

**Nick Kostos** (1:40)
I am a Donatello guy.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:42)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
Why is that a weird answer, though?

**Nick Kostos** (1:45)
Because Michelangelo is everybody's answer.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:46)
Well, mine isn't Michelangelo either.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:50)
Come by anytime you want, dude.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
You're a Donatello guy?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:52)
I'm a Rafael.

**Nick Kostos** (1:54)
See, Leonardo is the leader, but he's also like trying to keep everyone in line. He's not fun. Right. See, I like Donatello because in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games...

**Chris McMonigle** (2:03)
Yeah.

**Nick Kostos** (2:04)
which I was obsessed with as a kid... Donatello's bow was the coolest weapon.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:09)
That's true. And because...

**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
He was my favorite to play in the game.

**Nick Kostos** (2:11)
And because he had the bow, his reach was longer than everybody else. So he is actually the best character in that game, so I always gravitated to Donatello for that reason.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
I have to admit, I'm a Rafael guy because in the movies, he is my favorite character. I guess you call them live action movies.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:28)
You got a lone wolf inside you?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
Yeah, he's like the troubled soul, unhappy with his existence.

**Nick Kostos** (2:31)
So are you aware, am I going to... Plus, do you know what I'm about to say here?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:36)
About which one?

**Nick Kostos** (2:36)
So there is, I believe, a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be coming out, called The Last Ronin.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:43)
Yeah, it's a comic, it's awesome.

**Nick Kostos** (2:45)
I kind of like, I should not spoil it, right? No.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:48)
Okay, I won't spoil it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
You said it's coming out, how do you already have spoilers? You have connections inside the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie as well?
