**Annie** (0:00)
Let's go for it.

**Craig Carton** (0:02)
What Oscar-ward-winning movie is this song featured in as a young lady gets kidnapped?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
Oh, I know it.

**Craig Carton** (0:10)
And I gave it away there, but I want to help you out.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
Lolita? Oh my God.

**Craig Carton** (0:15)
I'm a final answer Lolita?
The Professional. Final answer The Professional? Great movie, by the way. Yeah. Help me try again. Yeah. Oh, for two. Don't, don't.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
Can I give him anything?

**Craig Carton** (0:29)
Oh, I gave it to him. Did I give it to him?

**Brook Lopez** (0:32)
Wait, is it American Girl?

**Craig Carton** (0:33)
No.
Would you say that I gave it to him? How about this one?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:37)
Her father stinks of the lamp.

**Craig Carton** (0:38)
You've already.
You've already lost. So one of you guys is getting me the ice cream. That being said, how about this? What are you?
What are you about, a size 7? Yeah.

**Brook Lopez** (0:53)
Oh, is it Silence of the Lambs?

**Craig Carton** (0:54)
There you go. Nice job. How did I shoot that up?
Excuse me, sir. I need help with that couch.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
That's what's on the radio in her car.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
Do you have in the system, when I ask Brook Lopez to read the Silence of the Lambs? You should have that in there. Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
It puts the lotion on its own, or else it gets the hose again.

**Craig Carton** (1:15)
Sounds just like him now. I give credit. He was a good enough sport to do it.
But I can't believe he did it when we asked him to do it. In any event, so I guess you guys have to decide who's bringing my Ralphs downstairs. It's turning upstairs in the freezer. It's paid for.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:31)
If you need it right now, it can't be me. But if you want to do it during the break, I'll go do it.

**Craig Carton** (1:36)
No, no.
Pick a representative. It could be Pete. It could be Joe. It could be Gallo. I think the other Joe's out there. A lot of Joe's, a lot of Joe's.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
There you go.

**Craig Carton** (1:49)
A lot of Joe's out there today.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:51)
And they all sit in my seat. You know what's unbelievable?

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
Well, because it doesn't have your name on it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
It's not their fault. It's no one's fault. I'm not even complaining.

**Craig Carton** (1:57)
Well, you just complained.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:58)
It's a vortex of this building.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
Yeah, but you just told the poor kid now he can't sit there.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:03)
Yeah, sit somewhere else next to him.
Because I'm telling you, I don't know what it is. There are eight desks out in that newsroom.

**Craig Carton** (2:10)
Four facing four.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
I think it's four and four. It might even be 12, six and six. I think it's four and four. Doesn't matter. My point being, none of them have anybody in them. Like, there's like, when he walks in or most people walk into the newsroom, especially that early shift, there is like one desk that has somebody sitting in it. They're all empty. And yet it never fails. Everybody sits in the same desk I sit at. It happens over and over and over again.

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
Why don't you put your name on it?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:37)
There's a picture of me on, like, there's my award for the WFAN MVP 2021 sitting right there.

**Craig Carton** (2:44)
Nice!

**Chris McMonigle** (2:45)
Yeah, a caller gave it to me.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
Nice gear! Award winner. Award winner. Did he even know that about you?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:49)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
MVP of 2021 Joe, from that one, you sit exactly where you sat today. Don't you get any crap from him. You're like a seat to seat.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
Every time!

**Craig Carton** (2:58)
You tell him, tell him, move me. You don't want me sitting there making me get out of my seat. That's what you do.

**Brook Lopez** (3:03)
Put the lotion in the basket or else it gets the hose again.

**Craig Carton** (3:07)
That's Brook Lopez. Perfect, no?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:10)
Sounds just like him. Sounds just like Buffalo Bob.

**Craig Carton** (3:13)
I'm still not quite sure if he knew what we were doing. I just had a chance. He was completely clueless.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:18)
Did you tell him what it was from? You said, hey, could you read this?
