Looking for a 2-888-808-109 is the number. You know the rules about whistling indoors, don't do that.

Do I know the rules about whistling indoors?

That's ridiculous.

Just saying.

Just obey the rules.
Chris McMonigle (0:33)
People have been whistling indoors since whistling was invented.

You whistle outside.
Chris McMonigle (0:37)
No. You whistle while you work. I work indoors.
Craig Carton (0:40)
You're not allowed to whistle indoors.
Chris McMonigle (0:41)
I disagree.
Craig Carton (0:42)
It's a rule.
Ask any Eastern European. You're not allowed to whistle indoors. It's bad luck.
Chris McMonigle (0:47)
I'm sorry. I don't believe in that.
Craig Carton (0:49)
Do you believe in the Maloyk?
Chris McMonigle (0:51)
A little bit. Depends. If you really deserve it. But you do a little bit. I guess, you know.
Craig Carton (0:56)
Guess what? No whistling indoors. No. Sorry.
Chris McMonigle (0:59)
I don't listen.
Craig Carton (1:00)
Okay.
Chris McMonigle (1:00)
Sorry.
Craig Carton (1:00)
And you can't put your keys on the table either. Where are your keys? They're not on the table, are they?
SPEAKER_3 (1:05)
In my pocket. Don't put them on the table. You lose money.
Craig Carton (1:06)
You put your keys on the table, you lose money.
Chris McMonigle (1:08)
This is my dragon.
Craig Carton (1:09)
What is that?
Chris McMonigle (1:10)
Smog.
Craig Carton (1:11)
What is that contraption?
Chris McMonigle (1:13)
It's my beer opening dragon.
Craig Carton (1:15)
It's actually a bottle opener?
Chris McMonigle (1:17)
Yeah, it's a bottle opener.
Craig Carton (1:17)
There you go. Nice. Don't put them on the table, you lose money.
SPEAKER_4 (1:21)
That's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_3 (1:22)
Okay.
SPEAKER_4 (1:24)
Don't put.
SPEAKER_3 (1:24)
Put your keys on the table.
Chris McMonigle (1:25)
I don't put shoes on the table, that's for sure. You don't put shoes on the table.
Craig Carton (1:28)
Why would you ever put shoes on the table anyway?
Chris McMonigle (1:29)
Even if you have a brand new, like a new box of shoes, put them on the table.
SPEAKER_3 (1:32)
Oh yeah, put them on the table.
Chris McMonigle (1:32)
No.
Craig Carton (1:33)
I have a brand new, like in the box?
SPEAKER_4 (1:35)
Yes.
Craig Carton (1:35)
No problem with that.
Chris McMonigle (1:36)
No shoes on the table.
Craig Carton (1:37)
But that's not an Eastern European thing.
SPEAKER_4 (1:38)
I don't care.
Craig Carton (1:39)
Well, I'm from Eastern Europe.
Chris McMonigle (1:40)
I appreciate that.
SPEAKER_3 (1:41)
We have a thing. You don't whistle in doors.
Craig Carton (1:43)
And you don't put your keys on the table.
Chris McMonigle (1:45)
I will not mask my emotion. If I'm happy and I want to whistle, I don't care where I am. I whistle.
Craig Carton (1:50)
Not in doors you don't. Yes, I do. Not if I'm here you don't. You can whistle when you do the go get in podcast. That's all you want. You ain't whistling here, buddy. I just did. No, you're not. And I stopped it. I had to put an end to it.
Because the audience knows. If you're Russian, you're Polish, you're Ukrainian, any of those Eastern block European countries.
Chris McMonigle (2:07)
I appreciate that.
Craig Carton (2:08)
Great grandmas said, don't whistle in doors is bad luck.
Chris McMonigle (2:12)
I'm sorry.
Craig Carton (2:13)
Yes. The boogeyman comes for you.
SPEAKER_3 (2:15)
I'll deal with him.
Craig Carton (2:16)
If that's what you want, that's what you're going to get.
SPEAKER_3 (2:17)
I'll deal with the boogeyman. Is that right? Yeah.
Craig Carton (2:19)
Okay. You deal with the boogeyman then. You put your keys on the table too.
Chris McMonigle (2:23)
If you're flaunting all the rules, then flaunt them.
