Hour 4: Red Sox 'Embarrassed' Themselves by Giving Up to Yankees

**Craig Carton** (0:02)
Oh, that's right.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:04)
You say it's your birthday.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
Why do you always find live versions?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:10)
You're big on live versions. I'm going to defend him.

**Craig Carton** (0:13)
Just tell me, I'll send you the...

**SPEAKER_3** (0:15)
This looks like a music video that he's playing. It doesn't look like a live version.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
I searched the good three minutes, and this is like a fun.

**Craig Carton** (0:21)
Happy birthday to you, Jalen Brunson.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:29)
Happy birthday to you.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:33)
Cha cha cha.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:38)
Beautiful, King of New York, championship ringer. We love you.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Happy birthday to you.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:45)
Happy birthday to you.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:49)
Happy birthday to you.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:51)
Now there's like a new birthday song that the kids sing. Man, it feels great.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
Well, he's got kids, because he did the cha cha cha.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
Yeah, I know the cha cha cha. Oh my goodness.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:58)
And what's the new birthday song?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:01)
Happy birthday to you.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:02)
No, no, no, that's the old birthday song.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
The second verse, same as the first.
No, yeah, but the cha cha cha thing drives me crazy. And they scream it. You ever been to like a, I just, this summer.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
Bang the tables, and they're about to break.

**Craig Carton** (1:15)
Oh my god. This summer, we had a birthday party for my son at a bowling alley. The cha cha chas, they scream it with everything they have in them. Like their veins are popping out of their throat. Like, cha cha cha! And cha cha cheeseburger is another one. They say, instead of cha cha cha, they say cha cha cheeseburger. I don't know about cheeseburger. Yeah, well, that's what I heard.
Cha cha cha, cha cha cheeseburger. In between the happy birthday, I don't get it. But happy birthday to Jalen Brunson. Every day, every day, Pete Hoffman puts together a sheet and every day it has the happy birthdays on it. Like today, Chris Tucker, it's also Chris Tucker's birthday. Jeff Hardy. Richard Gere.
I've told my Richard Gere story. That's my favorite. Richard Neer and Richard Gere, that's my favorite story ever on the fan. Jeff Hardy, Sauce Gardner turns 26 Van Morrison, my guy Van Morrison. We gotta play a Van Morrison next.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:08)
We'll play a Van Morrison for you.

**Craig Carton** (2:09)
Love Van Morrison. And Debbie Gibson also turned 56
So, a lot of birthdays, but we never sing Happy Birthday. Jalen Brunson deserves that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:17)
Deserves it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:18)
Can I just give a lazy shout out to this little stinker here? It was his birthday three days ago.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:23)
Happy birthday to the little stinker.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:24)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
Who's been heard off mic all day today.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:28)
Yes, he won't shut up.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
He's actually in the way for the first time.

**Craig Carton** (2:31)
No, he's clearly in the way.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:32)
I think it's the least you can do for the kid. You put him to work.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:35)
Well, he's doing a bad job. The phone call is terrible.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
Yeah, they've been bad.
They've been terrible. All of you callers, you've just been awful. You've brought nothing to the program.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:44)
We should have had a citywide holiday today. Why is...

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
I know, it's a very... This is a big... It's 30, too. It's a big birthday.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:52)
Which is a little bit of a gut punch, too. Yeah, he's on the other side.

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Now, he's on the other side of 30 It's all over.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:57)
I love him.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
We do love him. We love Jalen Brunson, and he's the king of New York. And hopefully, my man takes it back.
He's coming back. He's going to be healthy. He's going to lead the Yankees to the World Series and take back the king of New York status.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:14)
Just because I loved the pompous attitude we had for a few months, it would be nice if the Yankees won, just to, like... I'm not even a Yankee fan, but just to be like, look at New York.

**Craig Carton** (3:23)
So you will be rooting...
Let me ask you a question. Is there any chance, and I'm curious about this, because I'm sure there are Yankee fans. I wonder... The best one to ask would be Bob Heussler. Because Bob Heussler... Absolutely not.
I think Bob Heussler, and I love him to death. Love Bob. Many a year fighting with Bob about Yankees and Mets. I genuinely believe that he might hate the Yankees more than he loves the Mets. It's close. It is close. That's how much he hates the Yankees. I wonder, considering the Mets season is dead, is there any part of you that thinks... I'm curious if you feel it, or maybe even other Mets fans, would you be happy to see Tampa Bay win and hurt the Yankees' chances of winning a division?
