"It's July 4th, Buddy. It's Apple Pie": A Heated Dessert Debate

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Really, the only guy that should ever be allowed to sing this song, I mean, can't anymore, obviously, because he died, but no one else should even try to sing it. Is that fair to say?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:10)
Do you think?

**Craig Carton** (0:10)
And by the way, that was not the right time to play that, by the way.
I told you this a million times. You come back from break, ba ba ba bam bam bam bam, let's go. You come back with that, it's like, love it. Greatest version of it of all time. We're all going into the celebration of America, but that's one of the songs that has to be like, hey folks, I'm going to give you America the Beautiful, Ray Charles.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:35)
You don't like it coming back, you need energy.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
I like coming out of break, but I told you this a million times. I'll do it live. Come out of break with some energy, damn it. There you go.
Yeah, it doesn't have to be that necessarily either.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:50)
You can probably find a dance version of that song.

**Craig Carton** (0:52)
A dance version of America the Beautiful?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
Someone definitely did some sort of.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
Yeah, that butchers it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:58)
I can't help but think of the Sandlot every time I hear that song. That's the Sandlot when they play the 4th of July game. The fireworks at night time. 100% great movie scene, one of the great classic movie scenes. By the way, the pie is special.
There's a Pasture American flag design on top.

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
Oh, is that really real? You don't tell me they actually put red, white and blue icing on top.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:20)
We're getting black dirt chocolate cream pie and mixed berry. Those are the two pies. Mixed berry pie and black dirt, which is the area.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
I'm a black dirt guy.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:31)
Pine Island, my neighborhood, Pine Island, is black dirt onion capital, I told you this.

**Craig Carton** (1:36)
Yes, yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:36)
They have black dirt. They grow onions in the black dirt. It's Pine Island is known for its black dirt. Yeah, I know.

**Craig Carton** (1:41)
Black dirt is not what the pie is, though.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
No, it's not made out of pie.

**Craig Carton** (1:43)
Black dirt is just like chocolate crumble type stuff. Yeah, I'm gonna get on that. Great. Where's the apple pie?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
No apple pie.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Well, I'm sorry. It's a mistake.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
I'm not a conformative type person.

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
It's just a mistake.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:55)
No, no, no. I don't, you know.

**Craig Carton** (1:56)
I think you shared an apple pie to the pie assortment.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:58)
See, this is you. This is you. For all of your unique, like, essential New York kind of guy, you end up, I go to the mall, therefore I get orange, Julius, and pretzels. I go here, therefore I get this. Like, you know, certain facts of life. Cut it out.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
What do you mean cut it out?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:14)
Be your own person.

**Craig Carton** (2:15)
I am my own person.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:16)
Don't just fall into the traps of, and the drippings of what others have done before you.

**Craig Carton** (2:21)
It's July 4th, buddy. It's apple pie. No.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
Any kind of pie.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
Bye, bye.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
Miss American pie.

**Craig Carton** (2:29)
Miss apple pie. That's how the song goes.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:32)
That song sucks too, by the way.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
Drove my Chevy to the Levee, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:36)
This guy hates America.

**Craig Carton** (2:37)
He hates America.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:38)
That's not an, it's not a...

**Craig Carton** (2:39)
Surprised the mayor didn't want to talk to you yesterday about the heat.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
I'm surprised.

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
Yeah. Like, who's the least American guy in WFN?
Big Mac.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:47)
That's not true.

**Craig Carton** (2:48)
Yeah, but he works with Carton.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
Don't say it.

**Craig Carton** (2:49)
Can't go on with him.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
I love America. America's about choice.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:52)
America's about freedom, not conforming into some apple pie box.

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
There's certain things that have to take place on certain days.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
There is not.

**Craig Carton** (3:00)
Apple pie on July 4th happens to be one of them, sir.
