| 0:07.0 | It's the Carton Show with Big Mac. |
| 0:10.3 | Got a great show for you today on a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon in New York City. |
| 0:15.1 | Phone number to join. |
| 0:16.3 | 888-808-101-19. |
| 0:19.0 | Obviously, you got the NBA draft tonight, which as champions means very little to us as New York Knick fans. But we will get to the honest trade a little bit later on. Baseball out of the gate before I get into it with you. Also some breaking NFL news today. First, let me just say, good afternoon, Big Mac. How are you today, Ken? I'm doing great, Craig. How are you? Great. Well, Lollipop Gate is now a... Lollipop. Hit in New York City. If you watch last night's Yankee game, a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. You have a situation, a couple weird situations in the game, one where there's, I guess, a sprinkler had or something with sticking up out of the infield. Was it a camera? A couple inches up, which obviously became a problem, so they took care of that. And then, of course, you have the situation during the game that turned a lot of people off. A lot of very sensitive, very, very angry people on the heels of a Nick championship. |
| 1:11.6 | I need to remind people to think about that. |
| 1:13.7 | I remember how there was no pressure? |
| 1:16.0 | Not at the Nixon won championship. |
| 1:18.3 | Everyone's going to be laid back. |
| 1:19.6 | No more pressure on the Yankees. |
| 1:21.3 | All they have to do is eat candy. |
| 1:22.7 | A lot of you have turned your attention now to Jazz Chisholm and the Yankees who've now lost three consecutive games. |
| 1:28.7 | Jazz Chisholm playing a second base yesterday with a blow pop in his mouth. Not during a timeout, |
| 1:35.2 | not in the dugout. No. On the field during the game, he's got a blow pop in his mouth. Now, |
| 1:41.5 | some guys chew seeds and keep me in their back pocket. Yes, they do. Some guys chew a bunch of double bubble or bazooka. Some guys keep that in their back pocket. There used to be a time less now, maybe not anyone now. I think it's still. I think it's still out there. They throw a little dip in there. Yep. Right? But now, Jan's Chisholm. Chisholm for the second time this year was working a blow pop during the game. I didn't think much of it, but I didn't notice it. And now Aaron Boone was asked about it. Yeah. Was it the Talking Yanks podcast, I think is what it is. Yes. And he said it pissed him off. and he said he didn't see it in the moment during the game, but he was brought to his attention after the game. And he talked to jazz about it. And we will not see it again this year. And I'm trying to figure out why people are so upset about it. Yeah, I was trying to figure out. Because he's cavalier, I guess. I guess that's it. Because there's obviously two parts of the story. One, just what Jazz did and how you feel about it, and then clearly the manager and how he handled it. But I was arguing all morning with people because I don't understand it. I'll be totally honest with... Like an actual argument? No, I'm going back with people on Twitter. I took the train today, so I had a little bit of extra time to just focus on the phone. Probably a bad idea. But I'm going back and forth to people on Twitter because I don't understand the outrage. I truly do not. I didn't care last night. We have seen guys do all chew gum, tobacco, seeds in the back pocket in the middle of game, rip open the bag, spit the piece they tore off the bag on the floor, dump seeds in there, spitting seeds all over the place. We have seen this forever. This is not the first player to eat anything on the field. But it's a lot of it's because- I see what's happening now. Wow. I see what's happening now. Now I know why you've gotten an argument. Yeah. This is one of those moments. This is one of those moments where is at the end of the world, |
| 3:25.1 | no, it's not, but I see the direction you're going in. What's the direction I'm going? Give me an S. S? S. Shill? Give me a H. Give me an I. I. Give me a double L. Double L. Well, were you just the, didn't we just have the same opinion? |
| 3:42.2 | I bet. |
| 3:42.7 | I like, I'm not, to get a fight over it. Well, that's what I do. Like, it's not like... I get into discussions about it. I understand it looks cavalier. I get that. I think that's what it is. I think lollipops in general are considered like a children's candy. It's something you get a seven-year-old gets after a haircut. |
| 3:59.8 | Yes. |
| 4:00.0 | Like they start looking for the lollipops. You want to, like that's right. So I think that's part of it. It feels cavalier. It feels like you're strolling around like with a lollipop. I got a care in the world. But any argument you want to make, oh, like I heard Marash. Oh, he's got to put his hand to it. |
| 4:12.5 | They go into their pockets and take out bags of seeds and dump them in their mouths. |
