“THIS COULD BE A DISASTER!” The Carton Show SOUNDS OFF on Geno Smith

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
We're there this week, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:01)
We are.

**Craig Carton** (0:01)
Thursday and Friday.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:02)
Thursday and Friday.

**Craig Carton** (0:03)
We'll be broadcasting live from Fanatics Fest.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:05)
From the Javits Center.

**Craig Carton** (0:06)
And then I'm back again Sunday morning on the main stage with Lil Wayne. We're doing a live episode of The Joint Venture there.
We have Eli Manning and Dero Reavis for that.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:16)
Wow.

**Craig Carton** (0:17)
Yeah, how about that?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
Very nice.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
Yeah, I said no to a bunch of rappers that they offer us to come on with us.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:22)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (0:23)
I want you to be honest with me.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:24)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
I'm going to tell you the rappers that were offered.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
Were they popular prior to the year 2004 or post 2004? Because if it's post 2004, I'm not your guy, but we'll try.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
You're not my guy then. You have no shot then.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:43)
No.

**Craig Carton** (0:44)
Here's the guys we gracefully and graciously said, no, we're good. Do you know Lo Shimmy?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:53)
Lo Shimmy?

**Craig Carton** (0:53)
Lo Shimmy?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
No.

**Craig Carton** (0:54)
You don't know Lo Shimmy. Do you know Sexy Red?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:57)
Sexy Red.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
You've heard of Sexy Red?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:58)
Have not.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
Come on. You've heard of Sexy Red.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
I might know a song of his. I don't know.

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
It's a her.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:03)
Say it. There you go.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:05)
I don't know who Sexy Red is at all. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:07)
Said no to Sexy Red. Put her on the wheel. Were we offered Rich the Kid?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:11)
Nope.

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
Yep. Said no to Rich the Kid.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
Rich the Kid?

**Craig Carton** (1:14)
Chase B?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:15)
Chase B?

**Craig Carton** (1:16)
Yeah. Chase B. No?
How about Big X the Plug?

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

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
We said yes to Big X the Plug. But scheduling didn't work out.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
No.

**Craig Carton** (1:25)
And I wrote back saying, what do I call him? Mr. Plug?
Big X?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:31)
What do you ask him?

**Craig Carton** (1:32)
Well, I figured that part out. I'm not worried about that.
Yeah. So we said no to low shimmy Sexy Red, Rich the Kid and Chase B. So there you go. But we said yes to Eli Manning.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:44)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:44)
And yes to Derell Reavis. So they'll be our guests on Sunday.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
Yeah. Arguably two of the greats to ever play for their franchise.

**Craig Carton** (1:51)
Well, they're not both Hall of Famers.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
Not yet.

**Craig Carton** (1:54)
No. One of them is an actual Hall of Famer. The other guy won two Super Bowls.
That's an interesting question.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:01)
Reavis won one with the Pats.

**Craig Carton** (2:02)
Let me ask you this.
If you were, I know you're going to have to go to Fantasyland here, as am I.
Fantasyland, you're a great athlete, good enough to be a professional athlete. Okay? I give you the following choice. You're a two-time champion, but you're not a Hall of Famer. Or you're a Hall of Famer, but you never even get to a championship. Which would you choose?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:28)
Okay.
I know you're going to hate that I want to specify it. But are you like an Eli Manning, impactful player on those championship teams, or are you like, you know, the long snapper?

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
You're a starter.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:39)
A starter?

**Craig Carton** (2:40)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:40)
Like a full career.

**Craig Carton** (2:41)
A legitimate starter.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
A legitimate career starter in the NFL. Not just like a starter for those two champions. Okay, so I'll give you a comparison.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
Fair enough.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (2:51)
I'll give you a name to give you one side of it. Not football, but you'll get the point of it, all right? You're Derek Fisher or like Bill Cartwright.
Multiple championships. Yes. But you're not a Hall of Famer, but you're a champion. Okay, or the opposite, you're Eli Manning. You're a champion, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:13)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (3:13)
But you're not on the Hall of Fame. Would you choose the Hall of Fame or would you choose the multiple championships?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:20)
