**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Love fixing a hole.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:01)
Sargent Pepper doesn't get better, well, Abbey Rhodes is better, but it doesn't get better.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
And ran to the door.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:08)
What? What?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:10)
I'm enjoying it.

**Craig Carton** (0:11)
What?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
I'm enjoying your singing.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:13)
I didn't ask for this.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:14)
I didn't ask, I just want to make that very clear.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:16)
I know you didn't ask for that. Thank you, right?

**Craig Carton** (0:17)
I didn't ask for it, it just gets played.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:19)
I wasn't going to even make a comment.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
It's the last stop of The Carton Show. I'm still here.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:23)
How does it feel to be serenaded in real life? I like it. When he's gone, I miss the singing.

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
Yeah. Everyone misses the singing. I get that all the time. I used to listen to you in the overnight all the time. I used to, I miss you. I love your singing. I get that a lot in the overnight.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:36)
Well, you got a golden voice.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
I do.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:38)
Golden pipes.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
A songbird of my generation, many people have called me.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
It's a little unfair.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
What's that?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:44)
All the talents.

**Craig Carton** (0:45)
I know.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
It's very unfair.

**Craig Carton** (0:47)
The athletic prowess, the good looks, the singing. Do you think you can't do? No.
Jump over a chair. Yeah, jump over a chair.
Without falling or getting black toe for six, eight to eight months. Yeah. I can't believe that came off on vacation. All right. So speaking of vacation. So I felt like this summer, I learned a little bit about myself. And today dropping the kids off on the bus, they're back now.
Already back. It's only a couple hours, really. So they'll be back when I get home.
They, but it made me think about how I'm still a kid. I might not be getting on a bus today. I might be coming into work, but I am still a child and I had a great vacation. I can't tell you how much I enjoy the Disney Cruise. And a couple of things popped up to me on the Disney Cruise and just throughout the summer that made me realize I'm a child. So I came up with a list of things as we put our kids back on the bus. Don't feel old because I'm sure in many ways, you're still a child. So I'm going to give you a couple that jump out at me. And we'll go one, well, I'll give a couple and you can give a couple. Maybe I have some others. But just something that made me feel like a kid. One and this one in particular, a couple of things food wise that I learned on the cruise specifically. And this is a kid take. I'm sorry. The best way to eat a potato is tater tots or hash browns. That's it. Don't give me twice baked potato. Don't give me potato au gratin. Don't give me, I don't care how you make it. Mashed potato, truffle mashed potatoes. I don't care what you do.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
Scalloped potatoes.

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
Scalloped potatoes. The best way, better than french fries too, the best way to have a potato is tater tots or hash browns. It's just, I can't get enough of them. They are the greatest thing ever. Tater tots are the best.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:37)
So hash browns. Chef's kiss.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:39)
Chef's kiss.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:39)
Chef's kiss, tater tots.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:41)
Hash browns in what form?

**Craig Carton** (2:42)
Like McDonald's hash browns. Not like the, if you get hash browns at like a diner and it's like those fried potatoes or whatever. No, like fried, crispy, like in wedges or the McDonald's hash brown.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:55)
It's like a flat tater tot.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
Yeah, like a flat tater tot. Tater totes are the best way to have a potato.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:01)
I'm not a big tater tot guy. I think they're a little overrated.

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
They're the best. Just give me a french fries.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:04)
It's the only way to have a potato now.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:06)
It's not. I also do love a good scallop potato.

**Craig Carton** (3:09)
Potatoes are great many different ways. The best way is a tater tot with a little bit of ketchup. It's the best way.
It's the best way to have a potato. I've established it. At least that's my opinion.
