Knicks, Napoleon & the Mystery of “Hughes at the Podium”

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
And now 90% of the fan list is like, is this power? Did I put in the wrong radio station? Is this Hot 97? What happened to the fan?
What are you drinking over there, Biggs? Zero sugar Dr. Peps?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
You know what we're drinking. It's the same stuff in the fridge that you drink.

**Craig Carton** (0:16)
I've not seen that one in a week or so. You've been hiding a couple of those in the back maybe. I can't stand diet soda, but Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar, which I would never get myself, is probably the greatest diet soda of all time.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:30)
It's up there. They have a Dr. Pepper Cream Soda Zero Sugar that I love.

**Craig Carton** (0:36)
They also have Dr. Pepper Black Cherry, both regular and diet, as well.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
Very good. All good stuff.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
Well, you gotta go to Harold's Jelly to get it, though. It's a big Jewish jelly thing.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:45)
Well, ShopRite has it.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
No, it's a Jewish jelly thing. You can't get that in ShopRite. I don't think you can buy that in ShopRite. But if you go to Harold's or Katz's, you can probably get it there.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
12-pack cases for $18.

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
And they're all gone already?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:57)
No.
They're in my house. I don't bring them here.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
All in your house? I thought you brought them for the guys.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Got it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
I let Pete and his wife do that.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
By the way, Pete, did your wife get me my Red Hots? Or no?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:06)
We're in the process of getting that for you, yes, correct. Process of Red Hots.

**Craig Carton** (1:10)
What's the process of buying me Red Hots?

**Jerry** (1:12)
Well, I gotta get the information to my wife, and she has to find time to do it.

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
Got it. You have to treat her in all the bed-making, laundry, cleaning up after the guys.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:20)
Sure.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
And her job? On Chelsea Works. Not really, because she's off now for the next three months, isn't she?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
No, no, no.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
She's a 12-month.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:28)
She's a 12-month. She's a 12-month.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
Oh, is that right? She's one of the rare breeds.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:33)
She's an administrator.

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
It's like finding the albino flamingo. It's a rare breed.
A teacher working 12 months?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
Yes. Me and C-Mac, we have the same vacation schedule.

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
Your wife saw an albino flamingo also?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:50)
No, but she does summer school. I don't know if she's going to continue to do it forever, but she's done summer school.

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
Now, with the money you're making now, she's like, Daddy got a bigger paycheck.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:58)
That's it.

**Craig Carton** (1:58)
The white albino or the albino flamingo. She'll be pink before you know it. It's taking summer, summer, summer.

**Jerry** (2:03)
That's right.

**Craig Carton** (2:04)
She'll be pink before you know it. You're going to have an above ground pool by August 15th the way you're going.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:09)
My paycheck's not much bigger, but I get to bring home the premium sausage.

**Jerry** (2:12)
So that's what matters. Yes.

**Craig Carton** (2:13)
Well, that, yeah. For free, by the way.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:15)
Well, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:16)
That's right. I thought that was very well played last night. That was the point.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
Eating the sausage?

**Craig Carton** (2:20)
Because I attempted to do it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:24)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:24)
But I have no willpower. So I just ate it.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
Oh, you couldn't wait? No, I waited.

**Craig Carton** (2:31)
Yeah. Anthony's like, don't you need that for the shot? Yeah. I go, oh, good point. So then when I realized I had no premio cooked, that's when he threw me the extra six pack that was in the fridge.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
I made them all. I had a couple ready to eat there and I'm surprised I have not seen my round face with a sausage in it.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
I'm shocked.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:51)
On a meme or anywhere like on social media. I'm shocked.

**Craig Carton** (2:54)
Because of the game. If there was a regular Monday night, by today, there'd be memes all over the place.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
I'm sure it's still coming. Yeah, big hunk of that sausage. That's what I do. It's what I do for you. It's what I do for us. It's what I do for the station.
