Hour 5: Big Mac's Super Bowl Predictions & Anthony Volpe's Yankees Return

Chris McMonigle (0:00)

Yes, sir, yes, sir. 6.09, last stop of The Carton Show, Big Mac here. Got you on the FM dial until 7 o'clock. Yankee baseball will come to you on the AM dial at 6.25. 6.25 Yankee pregame on the AM. I will be with you until 7 o'clock on the FM.

At 7 o'clock, we will take you to Westwood coverage of tonight's game Seahawks vs. Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch to open up the NFL season. The NFL season is here. And that's right. If you saw the clip, if you heard the show, the Giants are winning at least seven games. I didn't say the Giants are going to win seven. We could still do that on Friday, although Craig said, make sure tomorrow you're having a record round, I guess we didn't do that, because I had to get insulted by a comedian. That's okay.

He actually is very funny. Aron Berg, he is, every time we go to do one of the comedy shows, and I've gone to a bunch, obviously I was part of the Carton & Roberts Show, so it's been five or six years that I've been going to these comedy shows, he always, he always killed, he's always the best comedian there. He is just, and he has that innate ability to just pick, you know, I wouldn't call him an insult comic necessarily, but his ability to just like read the room and have fun with the people in the crowd is second to none. So like in my head, he makes the gym joke and some other things, I'm like, do I go back at him? And I'm like, I would get ripped to shreds if I even attempt, like those are the kind, that's the kind of guy you just laugh at the jokes he makes, and you just nod and hope he looks at somebody else. Because you, it's like you ever see Don Rickles in any of those situations? He's on the Johnny Carson show or he's doing different things, and people try and have fun with him? You can't, like you can't win, can't win.

888-808-1019, but the Giants can win. I'm excited about the season. We'll get to more of it obviously on Friday. We're gonna pick here of the game tonight, and then we'll pick again the game tomorrow night. So this is how I think we're gonna do it. We're gonna do it next segment, okay? But this is how we're gonna do the last stop of The Carton Show, NFL pick segment. We'll pick every single primetime game.

Well, I shouldn't say every single, we're not gonna do Sunday night necessarily. We will do every game during the week, so Thursday night, Monday night, and then we will do three games on Friday for the weekend. And we will do Giants, we will do Jets, and then each of us can have one other pick that they like, their favorite pick of the week. So it's three picks a week. It'll be five in total, because we'll have Monday and Thursday as well. But it's five picks a week, three on the weekend. If Giants and Jets are off, or on the Thursday or Monday, it's going to be next week, the Giants will play the Rams. We'll still do three games for the weekend, it'll just be Jets and two other games. Okay? So, but every Friday we do three, we do Monday, we do Thursday. So all the standalone games plus three Giants, Jets, and another over the weekend. Then we'll tally it up and we'll see what Craig has in store for us. I mean, just tell it, you know, the idea that he gets to determine, he wants to sit it out and obviously I understand why. But he wants to sit it out and then he wants to determine what somebody gets and what somebody gets punished with. It's really kind of nonsense. We should come up with an agreement without him.

We should just have an agreement of what the loser should have to do.

Craig Carton (3:32)

Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's going to work. I don't think it's going to fly with him, but I think it's a good idea.

Chris McMonigle (3:37)

This is the last stop of The Carton Show. He doesn't get to determine what happens on the last stop of The Carton Show. That's how I feel.

Anthony Gallo (3:43)

Especially in America.

Chris McMonigle (3:45)

Especially in America. You do know you go right to that, right?

You go right to, you're infringing on my rights as opposed to defending yourself.

Anthony Gallo (3:52)

We're just living in the moment.
