Seems like the getaway day for a lot of people based on some of the traffic I saw, and the fact that I didn't go upstairs and nobody's in the building. I also went to get lunch today.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)
It's a Thursday, what'd you expect?

**Craig Carton** (0:10)
Because you guys were late. And all the places that don't have lines outside of them, walked right in, had my pick of the litter today.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
How about that?

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
You wanna go to Cava? Cava, no line. You wanna get a salad? Salad, no line. You want pizza, no line. I had my pick today. Anywhere I wanted to go. I got shrimp dumplings.
I'm in a rut, man. I'm in a rut. Plus, and I'm sitting here sweating my balls off, because it's 78 degrees.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
I know.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
Which the mayor said, everybody should turn their thermostat to 78

**Chris McMonigle** (0:43)
I saw a bunch of people-

**Craig Carton** (0:44)
What is this, Vietnam?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:45)
I saw a bunch of people wondering if MSG is gonna be turned to 78 for the wedding.

**Craig Carton** (0:49)
I guarantee MSG is not 78 degrees. Like, what kind of hammerhead says that 78 degrees in the summertime is a comfortable temperature for your apartment?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:00)
Not for me.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Right? Not for me either.
Like, maybe 71? Yeah. I'm more of a 69 guy?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
I bet you are.

**Craig Carton** (1:09)
What's up?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:10)
What's up? How you doing?

**Craig Carton** (1:12)
I hear your topics for The Wheel later on today. The Wheel will take place in the 5 o'clock hour.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:18)
I thought it was gonna be you versus Hurley today.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
That's what's coming up. We have agreed to do it, but it will be coming up. Not to say, because it's a getaway day today, as you know. No teams either.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:27)
No teams. No teams?

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Because you two, I mentioned it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
It's like, Craig and Hurley versus the guys.

**Craig Carton** (1:33)
We're gonna do 80s rap stars. We win in any event.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
Carton versus Hurley. It's coming.

**Craig Carton** (1:41)
I thought one of you, aren't any of you guys participating on it?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:44)
Yeah, we're making The Wheel.

**Craig Carton** (1:45)
Okay, that's fine.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:46)
Carton versus Hurley.

**Craig Carton** (1:47)
We'll do it in July for sure.
I agree to do it. He agrees to it. So, if you guys want to do that, other than today, we'll do it. We'll knock it out, all right? I think maybe tomorrow is a good day for that.
Tomorrow, maybe next week, we get it set up for next Friday. Anyway, it's the Wednesday Wheel on a Thursday. Here are your topics for later today. So you can get your minds, start to think, because I know a lot of you are driving around now. There's gonna be mad traffic going out to the Hamptons and Montauk and the Jersey Shore and all that. So you're gonna be listening to us for a long time today. So in the 5 o'clock hour, here are your topics. Famous couples. That means both of the people getting married or are married.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:24)
Are famous.

**Craig Carton** (2:25)
Have to be famous, okay? Got that one. And I'll give you this. Even if they've gotten divorced, if they were together.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:31)
Yeah, they don't have to be together.

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Like that one gal who I can't stand, who is married to Sue Bird, who I do like, Megan Rapinoe, right? Yeah. Like they're divorced now, but I would have counted that. Sure. That's an example, okay?
Number two, hot dogs. And what I mean by that is types of dogs, okay? Like breeds of dogs.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:54)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (2:54)
Hot dogs is a July 4th kind of theme.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:56)
Breeds of dogs.

**Craig Carton** (2:57)
Breeds of dogs.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
Can I ask you one more question on the famous couple thing? Did both people have to be famous when they entered the couple? Like, because like-

**Craig Carton** (3:08)
Like you became famous for like Jalen Brunson's wife.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:10)
Like Jalen Brunson's wife or like the first couple.
Donald Trump and Melania. I mean she's really only famous now because-

**Craig Carton** (3:18)
I wouldn't count that.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:19)
Okay.

**Craig Carton** (3:19)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:19)
So it had to be famous people who got together.
