Hour 4: Craig Carton Recalls $95,000 Shopping Spree at Mohegan Sun

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Early summer, which means not a lot of Big Mac on the radio coming up.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:04)
That's just not true.

**Craig Carton** (0:05)
Taking lots and lots of times off.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:06)
I'm taking off Friday and then...

**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Off on Friday.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)
You got a whole week off the next Friday. And then you're off...

**Craig Carton** (0:11)
Off August.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
No, off not all of August.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
Pretty much. I mean, a lot of days off.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:15)
I'm still looking for another week to take. I got to take during the summer.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
How's that possible?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:20)
How's that possible?

**Craig Carton** (0:21)
There's only so many weeks left.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:23)
I haven't taken a day since January this year.
Even before January 5th, I was working, waiting for you, doing overnights, everything. I worked on New Year's Eve.

**Craig Carton** (0:33)
Which is ridiculous. I mean, I did too, but it's ridiculous.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:36)
I've been working.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
Then you had the strong fever.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:39)
I didn't even take a day. I was here.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
You took one day.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
No, I didn't.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Yeah, remember? We said, don't come in the next day.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:44)
I worked from home.

**Craig Carton** (0:45)
Oh yeah, you did. That's right.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
That was the Manny Ramirez. Manny Ramirez.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
That's right. You're right.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:49)
So I've worked from home. I've not taken a single day off. Great. You have. One day, that's right. I've taken a single day off. And I'm taking this Friday off. We're going to Boston. Can't wait. Oh nice.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
Fen Fenway?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:59)
Fenway.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
Are you taking a baseball vacation?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
Taking a baseball vacation. The whole crew? Taking the family to Fenway.

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
I've never been to Fenway.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:07)
Going to Fenway.
Doing a day, we're going to have a little bit of fun. A Mohegan Sun on Friday.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
Okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:12)
On the way down.

**Craig Carton** (1:13)
They have a little kids thing in there. They can play like all the arcades and stuff.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:17)
They have an indoor pool.

**Craig Carton** (1:18)
Get the tickets and all that.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:19)
They have a bowling alley, arcade, something to do. I figured it's halfway there.

**Craig Carton** (1:22)
Now are you the type of family, do you drop the kids off in the kid arcade? And go like play and come back an hour later?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
Or you go in there like game to game, the claw, I got tickets.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:34)
No, I would think in this trip, because we're leaving Friday, I would think we're going to get there. It's going to be kids, kids, kids, dinner, honey, enjoy putting them to bed. I'll be back later.

**Craig Carton** (1:43)
Got it. And what's your game of choice?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:46)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
All right, there you go. Responsible wager.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
Responsible. I'm responsible.

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
You're good.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
I'll lose my allotted money in about an hour and then I'll go to bed.

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
Okay. And you're staying in Mohegan Sun the whole time? No.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:57)
Then we're waking up in the morning going to Boston.

**Craig Carton** (1:59)
Got it. Which restaurant are you going to go to at Mohegan Sun?
Michael Jordan Steakhouse?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:03)
No, probably with the kids. Probably something easy. Bobby Flay's Burger.

**Craig Carton** (2:07)
Bobby Flay's?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:08)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
Well, he's also got a full service restaurant there, too. Or at least he used to.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:11)
I don't think he does. No, I think it's Bobby Flay's Burger.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
Yeah, now. Got it. Is the Imus Coffee Ranch still there?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:15)
No, that's gone, too.

**Craig Carton** (2:16)
You know that there was a Boomer and Carton Grill opening up there?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
I heard that, but it never did. Did it come to fruition or no?

**Craig Carton** (2:21)
No, I decided to get arrested. Yeah. Yeah.
Two weeks before it was going to open up, too. We had done the menu, we got up there a couple of times, approved the menu, got the money all right. And you know who our partner on that was? Story that's probably never been told. So it was going to be the Boomer and Carton Grill. We got a, it was like a marketing thing. We got a guaranteed X amount of dollars. And then if it did certain numbers, we could get bonuses on it. But it was basically a marketing thing, right? A guaranteed X amount of bucks. And then if it over achieves, yes, you can make pretty good money. Okay.
