**Craig Carton** (0:01)
My guy was in Banger, Maine last night, killin it. Little makeup show.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:05)
Lil Wayne was in Banger, Maine.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
That's right, went back to Banger, Maine and French Montana with him, brought some random local kid on stage, challenged him, the kid rapped well. Yeah, 20,000 people, sold out, yeah, killin it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
K-k-k-k-killin it.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
Yeah, listen.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:19)
K-k-k-k-killin it. He's one of the greats.

**Craig Carton** (0:21)
There's no doubt about that.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:22)
You know who else is one of the greats?

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Here we go.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
Oh, we'll become one of the greats.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
Don't do it, don't do it.

**Stevie** (0:27)
Malik Nabers, baby! There you go. Have you seen him?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:30)
Have you seen the videos? He's out there running, he's out there cutting, he looks fantastic.

**Stevie** (0:35)
Is that right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:35)
First practice at camp, baby. Yep. Not on the pup list, first practice looking fantastic.

**Stevie** (0:40)
I think it's great.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
He's coming back.

**Stevie** (0:42)
I think it's great.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
He's gonna be back soon.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
Yeah, was he, he, he pads on today?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
I think so. Did anybody have pads on?

**Stevie** (0:49)
I just asked.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:50)
He was wearing the same amount of stuff anybody else was wearing from the videos I saw.

**Craig Carton** (0:53)
He has pants or shorts on today?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:56)
Oh, pants or pads?

**Craig Carton** (0:57)
Both. He was wearing pads or no?
Pads or no pads?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
I think he was wearing pads.

**Craig Carton** (1:04)
Pants or shorts?
Defense or no defense? Just ask. I have all the answers for you.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
All right, so he's wearing shorts.

**Craig Carton** (1:14)
Oh, he looked good in shorts.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:16)
Yeah, no, I mean, is there some kind of pads? He's wearing some kind of pads.

**Craig Carton** (1:19)
I don't think they're game pads.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:20)
No, they're not game pads.

**Craig Carton** (1:21)
No. Look, I think it's a major positive development for the New York Giants.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:26)
It is a major positive development.

**Craig Carton** (1:28)
Thank you. That's why I want to get a lay in the land of what we're talking about here. Now, let's keep our fingers crossed that after a workout today, there's no swelling or anything bad.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
Let's go.

**Craig Carton** (1:38)
And let's hope that when they go down to, you know, real action and now there's like seven on seven stuff or routes on air, fingers crossed that he casts some separation. His game is based on speed. And I think it's a great positive step to Malik Nabers coming back.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
I was concerned. Like, I wasn't sure what conditions he's in. Well, you should still be concerned. I am concerned on some level. Him not being on the pupless was the first sign of, hey, it's better than we thought. There was expectations, reports that, you know, it could be week five or six before you saw him. Now he's not on the pupless. So they're at least doing that in hopes of him playing in one of the first four weeks of the year. And now I'm watching him. He looks like he's running good, looks like he's cutting good. You're right. No pads. It's, you know, it's early practice. He's running routes, you know, but I think he looks really good. I think it's a big positive.

**Craig Carton** (2:27)
It is a very positive development.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
I am I am presently pleased and surprised that he looks as good as he looks.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
Let's but just do us a solid.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:36)
What solid?

**Craig Carton** (2:37)
I'm with you. It is a really positive development based on all the offseason negativity we heard.
Based on all the negativity we heard, this is a really positive development. But you got to stop.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:51)
What does it hurt me to be optimistic? You got to stop.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
Let's hope he can line up and play. He's not going to play this preseason obviously.

**Stevie** (2:59)
But I'm hopeful.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:59)
Why can't I be hopeful? Why do I have to stop?

**Stevie** (3:03)
I think you got to stop.

**Craig Carton** (3:04)
I think you set yourself up for disappointment.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:07)
If he can't play, I'm going to be disappointed no matter what.

**Craig Carton** (3:09)
Even more disappointed. Because now you've convinced yourself, man, he looks good.
