NEAOK. Why not?

**Craig Carton** (0:02)
Why not do Michael Jackson just because? That's how it goes, right? Creed doing Michael Jackson? I didn't expect that in my bingo card today.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
Creed, great with the Jackson covers.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
When's the last time you played bingo?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:16)
I don't know, but I'm getting ready for big serious bingo.

**Craig Carton** (0:19)
Is that on Disney?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:20)
Oh.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
Is there a lot of bingo on series?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:21)
Well, there's no casino.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:23)
So I'm gonna have to get my fix somehow. When else am I gonna be doing up till two o'clock in the morning, drinking Johnny Walker Black?

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
Watching Yankee Games on Tate Delay?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
That's a good point.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:32)
That's a good point.
Okay. The last time I played bingo, I can't even think. We had family bingo with our kids and stuff, but at a bingo place, years.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
Have you been to a bingo place?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:44)
When I was a kid, we won a breakfast bag first.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
Or an actual VFW post kind of thing?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:51)
Yeah, we went somewhere and I won a bingo basket. It was like the greatest thing.
A breakfast basket with all eggs and bacon and preservatives and stuff as a kid. I loved it.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
It's great. I can't play bingo because it falls under the gambling umbrella.
They had...

**Chris McMonigle** (1:09)
Now, is that you...

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
You're not risking anything unless you play and you have to put money out?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:15)
I'm saying it's just that because it falls under a certain category or you feel bingo is a bad idea.

**Craig Carton** (1:19)
I feel like I could play bingo and not have a problem.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:22)
Right. But it's just...

**Chris McMonigle** (1:23)
What's the point?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
It's not that great.

**Craig Carton** (1:25)
Like, we have family bingo.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
Yeah. It's not worth it. 100%. Sure. Absolutely.

**Craig Carton** (1:28)
Like, yo, my kids might be like, hey, dad, can we deal you in for gin? And for a long time, I... No.
Because I had to be totally absent. But like if there was a quick game of gin at the house tonight, no money, obviously, I might play with my children. Yeah, I'm at that place now. But yeah, I haven't played bingo. There was a...
The last two months, I was away because your COVID was happening. And they were like, we got to do something with these guys. Not that they care about you. They don't like, you're no longer a human being in the place I was at. But all of a sudden, they're like, hey, six feet apart, bingo. Anybody wants to play some bingo tonight?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:08)
That's right. You were at the beginning of COVID. You were in...

**Craig Carton** (2:10)
I was in... I was locked up during COVID.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:13)
My God, what was that like?

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
I mean, yeah, yeah. I mean, not that anything would go well there.

**Craig Carton** (2:21)
But they did something that was so stupid. Like, look, everyone did something stupid during COVID, obviously, now that we know what we know.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:26)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
So they had a rule for a couple of weeks, excuse me, where you were basically locked in. Nobody, you couldn't go outside.
And the few of us that, you know, thought we had a brain in our heads were like, shouldn't it be the opposite? Right. Like, isn't it better for us to be outside?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
That makes sense.

**Craig Carton** (2:51)
In June, with no air conditioning. No air conditioning? I was in prison.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:56)
Oh my God.

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
No. So you know what they did? In July and August, they brought in these industrial-sized fans, which acted as like noise machines. They actually helped you sleep, to be honest. But there's no AC in prison.
And it was like sweltering hot, and it's COVID. And people are like dropping like flies. I saw grown men weep because they were sicker than they've ever been before. And obviously in small quarters, it spreads like wildfire, like the flu would spread too. And then they had a thing where you weren't allowed out of the unit you were in.
And people are like, this is just... So then the warden came in one day, and he goes, we're going to upgrade all the masks. The upgraded mask was a cloth mask that like you made in Home Ec in high school. Right. That didn't help.
