Hour 4: Craig Slams David Stearns Over Mets' Roster Failures

**Craig Carton** (0:04)
You don't know this one? Oh, I thought for sure you'd know this.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
No.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)
It sounds a little bit...

**Craig Carton** (0:15)
You know this song.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:19)
I know the sample.

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
Welcome to the Sultry Sultown of the Carton Show with Big Mac. On the line right now is John, and the story of John, how are you?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:35)
Hey, Greg.

**Craig Carton** (0:36)
I'm sorry. All right, you do it.
You got it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
It's a one-man show.

**Craig Carton** (0:41)
You got it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
No, but what... Who is that?

**Craig Carton** (0:45)
You got to get that.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
It's... I'm wrong.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
But it sounds... Come on.
You got it. Say it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:52)
It sounds a little bit like...

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
Come on.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:57)
The voice sounded like... I know it's not him. It sounds a little bit like Tom Jones for a second.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Not Tom Jones.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
But I think it's like...

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
African-American gentlemen.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:04)
Oh, okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
Okay. There were two groups that really competed with each other.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (1:08)
Hyde and Motown.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:09)
Okay, four tops.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:10)
Bingo. Okay.

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

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
You got it.

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
It was, you know, four tops of The Temptations.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:14)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:14)
There we go. Who's better?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:16)
And then they did a... It didn't sound like The Temptations.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
They did a duel, a release CD way back in the day. Called T&T.
The Tops and The Temptations.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
Really?

**Craig Carton** (1:24)
But that was the four tops right there. Ain't no woman like the one I got.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:28)
No one... What's the... What's that sample?

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
No one can do it better. That's their song.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
No, I know, but did you...

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
People of...

**SPEAKER_4** (1:34)
What song?

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
Sample that, you mean?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:35)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:36)
Ah, I'd have to check.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
No one can blank you better.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:39)
I think that's the song.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
I never heard that. Is that right?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
Friends tell you to leave me alone.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:44)
Ha-ha.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
Friends tell your friends to get a man of their own. Man of their own. What is that? What is that song?

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
You'll come up with it tomorrow, maybe. Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
Maybe tomorrow when I'm there.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
When I'm on vacation. Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
I'll be back on Monday.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
Before I get to Pete, I just got to check my handy-dandy sheet here. There's one big story I had down that I wanted to get to, and, oh, I thought it was two quick things. One, LaMelo Bowl got traded to Minnesota. That's a significant deal. Yeah. Nobody here cares about it. It's east to west, but it's a great deal for the Timberwolves. So don't sleep on Minnesota. Yeah. All right, obviously, Gobert's going to have to become a great defender and big-time rebounder for them more than he did last year. He's already typically a really good defensive player. That becomes a crazy backcourt with him and Anthony Edwards, number one. Number two, did you see that my guy from Indiana State, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he might make the Lakers this year. Really? From Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This is a great feel-good story.
That's how I feel about it, at least. And apparently, Boomer Asaison, speaking of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is in a public fight with Jermell Hill now.
I want some popcorn on that one.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
I saw her comment on the story. Did he go back?

**Craig Carton** (3:04)
No, he probably won't tomorrow either, but he should.
Like, I love watching other people fight. Like, if you got to watch me and Deuce Tard, you'll go at it last week.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:14)
Yeah, Levittard came back at you a little bit earlier.

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
Barely. That's a win for me, by the way.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:17)
Yeah, I agree.

**Craig Carton** (3:18)
Yeah. That being said, we put that to sleep. That's good over here in the corner. And I do want to say, on a personal level, some of that does work for him. Dave Sampson, who is a major league executive prior, lost his daughter to a public fight with an aggressive form of brain cancer.
