[01:00:00] Craig Carton: Depending on what letter you choose, it says something about your personality. A, B, or C, what's Wayne's next bite? This is like the five greatest cartoons of all time, specifically to watch while stoned on the couch. Which urinal do you use? Apparently there's a wrong answer.
[01:00:19] Bart Scott: You know how you white guys be meatwashing, you know what I'm saying?
[01:00:21] Craig Carton: No, I don't know!
[01:00:22] Bart Scott: I
[01:00:24] Wayne: Y'all like to talk too.
[01:00:29] Craig Carton: We take a lot of questions in, so that Professor Wayne can give advice to regular people out there. Because you're the advice guy. You've lived many lives, have you not?
[01:00:38] Wayne: That's what we do.
[01:00:39] Craig Carton: Yes, so you put out the advice you can put out. Okay. All right, Mike from Austin, Texas
[01:00:44] Wayne: Let's go, Mike.
[01:00:45] Craig Carton: Alright, here we go. Wayne, I just got a three-year federal bid. When I get to prison, should I keep to myself and not talk to anyone? Should I punch the first guy I see or should I just blow him and get it out of the way?
[01:01:04] Wayne: Well, since Mike, since you're asking me, and unfortunately I've been in such situations, what I did was stay to myself and didn't talk to no one, didn't tell anybody nothing. They speak to me, I speak back, you want to have a conversation, you put a look on your face that makes them look, makes them say to themselves, look like he going through a lot today, I'ma leave the homie alone. And that's how you get through your days, man. Don't be blowing nobody though.
[01:01:29] Craig Carton: Yeah, don't know because then that's all you do You'll be busy all day
[01:01:35] Wayne: You said was a 20 year federal bid this guy got a three-year federal. Oh, yeah, it's just three years Mike just mind your business
[01:01:41] Craig Carton: He'll be out in two and a half.
[01:01:42] Wayne: Mind your business Mike
[01:01:44] Craig Carton: Once you start blowing guys, I think that's all you do if you I don't know from experience But I was told when I went away don't do that. Yeah busy morning noon and night
[01:01:53] Wayne: I don't know about that life, but I know about Rikers. I know Rikas out of it. I know for a fact, staying to yourself is really good.
[01:02:01] Craig Carton: Matter of fact, did you just tell someone, I don't know if it was the little dicky podcast, that you like to watch naked and afraid when you were away? Not me.
[01:02:09] Wayne: Not me. That's what they like to watch.
[01:02:11] Craig Carton: The other guys like to watch
[01:02:12] Wayne: The whole place, the guards, everybody was like, shut up, Naked and Afraid is on. I swear, you see people that haven't been up the whole day, coming out their cells, finding, oh, how you doing, Carter? You're going straight to watch Naked, Afraid, it's crazy.
[01:02:34] Craig Carton: The place I was at, it was a 98 Fiancé, and there was that dude with no neck, and man, if you touch that... Yeah, oh, the homie, yeah. Yeah. Like, turn off the sports, we got 98 Fiance on.
[01:02:43] Wayne: Telemundo was pretty big up in there, too. Yes. Nobody knew and nobody was saying on there, but the ladies.
[01:02:51] Craig Carton: Yeah, the weather forecast is the best part of the news.
[01:02:53] Wayne: They do the weather and the bikini. Yeah. Seriously.
[01:03:00] Craig Carton: I got one more for you. Mike in Wichita, Kansas.
[01:03:05] Wayne: Okay, Michael.
[01:03:05] Craig Carton: He says, all right, Wayne, I've got 100 bucks left to my name. Should I hit the strip club, buy ramen noodles, or bet on the Packers to win the Super Bowl?
[01:03:15] Wayne: I think everybody knows what I do. I bet on the package to win the Super Bowl. Shit.
[01:03:20] Craig Carton: That was easy. That was the layup right there.
[01:03:21] Wayne: That was a layup right there. Yeah, Mike, we're not in Kansas anymore.
[01:03:25] Craig Carton: Mr. Derek Fisher comes by so I have something here for you. I don't want to get your take on this. All right That's right. Don't mind that
[01:03:33] Derek Fisher: You don't have anything fragile or valuable around this dude at all. It's nothing bad.
[01:03:39] Craig Carton: Promise and I promise you're gonna remember this interview, too Okay, all right, so I'm gonna show you a picture you have to tell me is your next bite a B or C I'm going to show the camera first before y'all get to see it. All right, that's what I'm showing All right. Now. I'm sure you guys is your next bite A B or c before you answer I'm to tell you that depending on what letter you choose It says something about your personality you want to go first Wayne a B or see what's Wayne's next bite?
[01:04:08] Wayne: Uh, I think, uh, A. A? Yeah.
[01:04:13] Craig Carton: Interesting. A, B, or C. And you can pick the same as Wayne if that's what you choose. Nah, I'm going to go B. You're going to B? Yeah. Alright, you're not going to like this. So, it says here, if you pick A, you are a psychopath. What? Says who? Says the people that took two bites out of that. Alright? If you have picked C, it means you're a strategist. If you pick B as you did. It means you like instant gratification. But that seems to go against your personality. But you're a psychopath. Probably why we get along. Yeah, so there you go.
[01:04:57] Wayne: There you go. That was very interesting.
[01:04:59] Craig Carton: If you want to save humanity, the world's going to explode if your team loses this game, what is the Amari Stoudamire starting five? And you can pick of any era, I don't care. You have to win this game or everybody here's dead.
[01:05:18] Amar'e Stoudemire: On guard.
[01:05:20] Craig Carton: Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson, point guard. You good with that one, Wayne? Yeah. What? Because you're going to have to come up with a team that beats his team. OK, shooting guard. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan, I think it's a wrap right there. That's why I'm asking him to do that. Go ahead. OK, so you got Magic and Michael in the backcourt, small forward.
[01:05:41] Amar'e Stoudemire: LeBron James.
[01:05:44] Craig Carton: Okay, that's a pretty good team. Pretty good team, I mean, it's not koozie.
[01:05:49] Amar'e Stoudemire: Good team, go ahead. I will forward, I'm gonna probably go with Tim Duncan.
[01:05:54] Craig Carton: Tim Duncan, who did you want us to pick? I was gonna say Tim Duncan. Oh, you're gonna say, Tim Duncan? And who is the big man? Are you going old school Russell and Wilt? Are you gonna new school Shaq? Are you goin' David Robinson? Who's the big men? Are you go Patrick Ewing?
[01:06:13] Amar'e Stoudemire: Probably not. I will have to go Only in this era of his game. Go ahead Orlando Magic Shaquille O'Neal
[01:06:23] Craig Carton: So young Shaq!
[01:06:25] Amar'e Stoudemire: You're on set.
[01:06:25] Craig Carton: The shack that got swept in the NBA fallout. Oh, I mean, okay, got it. The young shack.
[01:06:30] Amar'e Stoudemire: Oh, the set that was ripping down the backboard every game.
[01:06:32] Craig Carton: Yes, not the Laker Shack!
[01:06:34] Amar'e Stoudemire: Not the Lakers' side.
[01:06:35] Craig Carton: What was the difference in his game?
[01:06:36] Amar'e Stoudemire: It was more athletic, it was more agile, it was powerful, it's more in shape. That's the original Shaq.
[01:06:42] Craig Carton: This younger Younger, right. Can you get up down to court a little bit better? So that's your starting five. I don't know if there's a starting five that can beat that starting five? We have a little game we play called Spot the Lie. I'm going to give you three stories about Plaxico Burress. Two of them are true. One of them is a bold-faced lie. All right, you have to figure out which of the two stories are true and which is the lie. Fair enough? I got you. All right. Story number one. Plaxico burress owns a juice shop. And once had a fine black market blueberries, okay? That's story number one. Story number two, Plaxico Burress has been inducted into the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame. Which we went to college, obviously. Story number three, post-playing career, Plaxico-Burress graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. Two of those stories are true. One of those stories is false. So, do you want to go and order? Do you think he once bought black market blueberries for a juice shop?
[01:07:49] Wayne: For a juice shop? Yes. It sounds so off-chill to that, I think it's, I'm gonna say no, I don't think he did that. Okay, you think that's a lie? I think that was the lie.
[01:07:58] Craig Carton: Plaque's your own? Is that a true story or a lie? Uh, it's a true store. I'm f- I told you so, I'm-
[01:08:03] Plaxico Burress: Okay, I knew it was true. Tell the story if you don't mind. Well, I'm a franchisee owner for Nectar Juice Bar. Okay. So kind of got into the SIE and the smoothie industry. So that's where all of that came from. Okay.
[01:08:17] Craig Carton: Yeah, and there's one time
[01:08:19] Plaxico Burress: Blueberries get recalled, green apples, whatever it is out there. Trust me, it's a total nightmare when Cisco shows up to your door and they talking about we ain't got no granola, no Acai. I'm like, what the hell am I selling here then if I don't have no Açaí?
[01:08:37] Craig Carton: Man, I can't do the shirt. I go, what's up Black CEOs? Man, I'm out of blueberries. Do you know anyone that sells black market blueberries?
[01:08:46] Plaxico Burress: Crazy man, this is a crazy world.
[01:08:49] Craig Carton: Did Plaxico graduate from the CIA, the coolness of America? Is that a true story or a lie, Wayne?
[01:08:54] Wayne: As a true story.
[01:08:55] Craig Carton: True story? That is a true story. True story. When did you graduate from the CIA?
[01:09:01] Plaxico Burress: Not the CIA. Well, culinary institute, I apologize. It was COVID-20, 21, 22. Okay, and do you have a...
[01:09:11] Craig Carton: Go to like what's the meal you make to impress people.
[01:09:14] Plaxico Burress: Oh, I don't cook to impress people, you know. What's the best thing you cook? What's that best thing I cook? Yeah, like, what'd you learn there? You look like a lamb guy. I see you always on the ground like, you look like the lamb guy, so I got a nice little lamb jerky. All right, we're coming over. A risotto, something real nice and sleek.
[01:09:32] Craig Carton: Okay, and that means by default that the greatest wide receiver in Michigan State history is not in the Michigan State Hall of Fame.
[01:09:42] Plaxico Burress: As of right now, I am not. So, you know, it's just one of those things I think it takes time, but- How much time do you need? But for me, I mean, what I'm doing right now I'm campaigning for my brother, Charles Rogers, to be inducted into the Michigan State Hall of Fame. He's not in either? Before me. He deserves it, they're going before me, so I'm campaignin' for him with the university. Athletic director to please put Charles Rodgers in the ring.
[01:10:14] Craig Carton: Is Andre rising in it?
[01:10:16] Plaxico Burress: Uh, Andre Rodgers, not either. I mean, not for nothing. They just take forever. I don't.
[01:10:21] Craig Carton: Well, you're the three greatest receivers and players arguably in Michigan State history. They just take a lot. And none of you are in there? Athletics is all the fame? Was it just basketball players?
[01:10:30] Plaxico Burress: No, I think Lorenzo White maybe got in like four or five years ago. He played in like 86 or 87, so.
[01:10:37] Craig Carton: The five greatest cartoons of all time, specifically to watch while stoned on the couch. Okay.
[01:10:43] Wayne: Specifically that, then I probably know one, another one or two. Okay. Probably like...
[01:10:50] Craig Carton: Spongebob Squarepants is on the list. Yes, top five. Number three, I'll give you a hint. It was a crime-fighting group led by a stoned dog. How? Scooby-doo? Scooby Doo! That's right. And Shaggy and the lesbian Thelma.
[01:11:10] Wayne: I don't know what this meant.
[01:11:11] Craig Carton: And others, that's number three. Number four is a family that's never aged in 30 years.
[01:11:20] Wayne: Is that a monster?
[01:11:21] Craig Carton: Not the monsters, no, no.
[01:11:22] Wayne: Oh, uh, I don't know that one.
[01:11:24] Craig Carton: The boy has blonde, spiky hair and always gets into trouble. The Simpsons!
[01:11:31] Wayne: They never aged? They've never aged! Are you just saying that? Because they never actually aged? Okay. Okay, I thought that was like a part of the cartoon.
[01:11:39] Craig Carton: No, no, they're always, Bart, I think, is always like 12.
[01:11:42] Wayne: That was very interesting, they never aged.
[01:11:46] Craig Carton: It's the same that that was the problem with like non-animation stuff like the Brady Bunch got older Right at some point they got older and then one of them became a porn star Yeah, which is sorry And the last one I've never seen it believe it or not family guy is considered a top five all-time cartoon
[01:12:05] Wayne: Never seen it, but I know exactly what it is.
[01:12:08] Craig Carton: Yeah. Do you remember like the Hanna-Barbera stuff, like Ricochet Rabbit?
[01:12:12] Wayne: I don't know about Ricochet, but I know what to handle.
[01:12:15] Craig Carton: Ricochet Rabbit was this, like, rabbit on Coke, and bing, bing bing! Ricochet, and then he used to say, Ricochet rabbit. No, never. Never even heard of that in my life. The reason I bring it up is that our guest on today's episode is the man solely responsible for SpongeBob SquarePants being on TV. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Kay joins us today on The Joint Venture. There he is. How you doing? Well, he has lost weight since I last saw him. KK, how are ya? One more K, we're in trouble. What happened with the Flintstones? The Flintstones did not make the list. Sorry about that, they probably should have. By the way, speaking of the Flintstone, were you more of a Wilma guy or a Betty guy?
[01:12:58] Kevin Kay: Daddy. What? Yeah.
[01:13:00] Craig Carton: By the way, he didn't even think twice. He had that answer ready to go. I think Betty was probably more fun, don't you think? Wim was kind of like, you know, I don't know, like cold brass kind of thing. Like, not tonight, you now, Betty was ready to rock.
[01:13:14] Wayne: He said, not tonight.
[01:13:18] Craig Carton: And Pemels is pretty small, too, if I may. Yeah, we used to have a thing, you know this, like what cartoon woman would you, if you could, hook up with a cartoon? I always said Jessica Rabbit, but did you ever contemplate that?
[01:13:33] Kevin Kay: Jessica Rabbit is a great choice. Great one, right? Yeah, I would go with that.
[01:13:37] Craig Carton: Yeah, that's it.
[01:13:37] Wayne: Easy answer. Come to San Diego.
[01:13:40] Craig Carton: Where in the world is Carmen Sandiega? That was your girl? Cartoon girl? Wow! I didn't see that one coming, but you clearly knew about it. Psychopath. From a previous episode, we learned that Wayne might be a psychopath. It's certainly possible. There's a psychological test that's out there. Okay. And the question for both of you guys is, which urinal do you use? And I'm going to hold it up. All right? I'll show you guys.
[01:14:10] Bart Scott: Like the ACT.
[01:14:13] Craig Carton: And apparently there's a wrong answer now i'm not sure the last time you went to public urinals so pretend like you have right yeah yeah don't die what's the right urinal to use
[01:14:24] Bart Scott: You're supposed to go every other. I'm telling this motherfucker to move. Hey man, wrap that shit up. Wrap that shit up. You go pee in the stall. And sit down too.
[01:14:37] Craig Carton: Wayne, are you doing the same thing or you got to pick one?
[01:14:40] Wayne: I'm going to use the one with the door.
[01:14:43] Bart Scott: Yeah.
[01:14:44] Craig Carton: I think that's the right answer
[01:14:46] Bart Scott: You know how you white guys be meatwashing, you know what I'm saying?
[01:14:49] Craig Carton: No, I don't know!
[01:14:52] Bart Scott: I used to have a coach who would come in and talk to me and he'd come out and say, like, bro, what the fuck, what you doing, man?
[01:14:58] Wayne: Y'all like to talk to
[01:15:00] Wayne: Yeah, excuse me. I brought out my dick in my hand money. I'm not really trying to have such a conversation right now, bro Allow me to say this
[01:15:09] Bart Scott: I'm on behalf of white people. Oh shit, what's up, boy? Man, do you know I'm just talking about you? Are you crazy, man? Thank you, man. Oh shit. Wheezy. Tuned you, what up, boys? Ain't no handshaking at the end of the year, bro. Get a straight head now.
[01:15:21] Craig Carton: The line reveal songs for you to sample. You just have to make me one promise. Whatever song you pick is number one.
[01:15:29] Wayne: I gotta do it. You do it, yeah.
[01:15:30] Craig Carton: Is that a fair deal? What? I love music, man. I can't wait. All right, here we go. Song number one. It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls.
[01:15:41] Wayne: Bye. You should.
[01:15:43] Craig Carton: You're sure that's gonna be number five?
[01:15:45] Wayne: You say we're going one to five, and you say five is the least.
[01:15:49] Craig Carton: Alright, so you're not going to rap over it's raining men. Alright song number two The name of the song is wannabe you and I both know it as
[01:15:58] Wayne: Tell me what you want what you really really want. I'm gonna tell you what you wanna what I really really
[01:16:03] Craig Carton: I wanna, I wanna
[01:16:04] Wayne: I wanna, yeah, I remember that. Okay, go ahead. I'll go, just because now I'm seeing what kind of music, we talking, where you going with this, we talking Craig music, this means don't have a genre, this is Craig. It's on my Spotify playlist. Yeah, so I go, just to be safe, I'm gonna go three.
[01:16:18] Craig Carton: Three, all right, so the Spice Girls are number three. All right, the next song for you is classic Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror.
[01:16:25] Wayne: Hmm in the mirror. Yeah, I'm talking to
[01:16:31] Craig Carton: Make a change!
[01:16:32] Wayne: Yeah, okay. I'll go too
[01:16:34] Craig Carton: Number two, man in the mirror. By the way, you ever meet Michael Jackson?
[01:16:37] Wayne: I never met Mike. Really? No. But I have a damn good song called Mirror.
[01:16:41] Craig Carton: You did? Yeah. See, it's always about your stuff. I'm going to put that down here. I got that. All right. Song number four. Now you have spot one left and spot four left. Yeah. This is going to be an interesting one. Okay. All right? Frank Sinatra's My Way. Is that going to number four and you're going to leave one open, meaning the last song has to go number one or are you just going to go put all blue eyes number Come on.
[01:17:06] Wayne: I have to put on blue eyes number one.
[01:17:08] Craig Carton: You not a risk taker?
[01:17:09] Wayne: I'm not, it's just that I'm a musician and it's a thing. Your respect is respect. Ah, you did it? That's old blue eyes.
[01:17:17] Craig Carton: My way all right so Frank Sinatra is number one so that means you're going to do a sample of
[01:17:22] Wayne: sample of Frank Sinatra. That was a safe, exactly, super safe.
[01:17:26] Craig Carton: Well, the last one is the one I've been begging you to do, George Michael's Careless Whisper!
[01:17:31] Wayne: But that don't count, because I'm doing that regardless, yeah, I'm doing that, regardless.
[01:17:35] Craig Carton: I've got a backup. I've gotta back up one and it's number four. No matter what it was Barbara Streisand's Yentl
[01:17:43] Wayne: I don't know what that is, so yes, that would have worked.
[01:17:46] Craig Carton: It was some type of Hebrew song. That's what it was. I don't know what it is. Alright, so at some point this year, you will put out, or try to put out a rap to Frank Sinatra's Mario, you'll sample that.
[01:17:58] Wayne: Yes, I will.
[01:17:58] Craig Carton: Alright, have you done the Careless Whisper one yet?
[01:18:01] Wayne: No, no, yeah, I keep asking I had told Fabian we my engineer. He's putting it. He is putting the beat together. Yeah Yeah, he didn't warn you get that opportunity. He didn't he heard it when you said it. Yes with him We was watching it. Yeah, so he's not giving no it up for do I don't want a
[01:18:15] Craig Carton: Be a bad guy, but I've-
[01:18:16] Wayne: He's not giving the other producer the chance to do that.
[01:18:19] Craig Carton: Top ten Lakers of all time. No particular order other than my man. Here's ten Kobe we all agree on yeah, Will Chamberlain obvious Shaq obvious Jerry West the logo obvious Magic Johnson. That's five. All right, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar obvious Elgin Baylor obvious This is old school George Mike in I think you have to put him there as well Put James Worthy in there. What's your thoughts on James? I'm not mad. Yeah. I'm mad at that. That's nine Yeah, you're ten. Okay, and at some point we get to LeBron That that's not a diss on the Brom by the way
[01:18:58] Wayne: You don't look at Shaq. You say Shaq? I got Shaq in it. Yeah, yeah.
[01:19:01] Derek Fisher: Is that a fair top 10 list, you think? Overall, it's fair. I just, LeBron's been here eight years, bro. Like, he's-
[01:19:09] Craig Carton: championship.
[01:19:09] Derek Fisher: Now that he won the championship in 2020.
[01:19:12] Wayne: Bro, that whole conversation was for you, for this moment.
[01:19:18] Derek Fisher: See I'm on the radio now, so I'm talking about these things a lot. Yes, we were just talking about this You and Cody Decker mornings in LA Let me break this down good Steph Curry is the only NBA player in The last eight seasons. Okay, that has two NBA championships as a face of the team 22 and 2018
[01:19:40] Craig Carton: Okay?
[01:19:41] Derek Fisher: Okay. Okay. Nicola Yocas, 2023, one title. Kawhi Leonard, 2019, one title. 2021, Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis, one title. That's because Durant was on the line. Okay. 2024, Boston Celtics, Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, one title 2025, Oklahoma City Thunder, SGA, one title. That dynasty's dead, right? So why are we acting like LeBron hasn't done something? Because it was the bogus, Eric. Because he has one title in the last eight years, just like everybody else on that list. I just said it, except for Steph Curry. But it's a bullshit title.
[01:20:14] Craig Carton: There were no fans, there were no road games.
[01:20:18] Derek Fisher: You still had to play the game, Steve!
[01:20:19] Craig Carton: Even Alex Caruso said it's a BS title.
[01:20:22] Derek Fisher: No, I don't think he said he did. He said it was probably different But I don't think he called it a BS when he's still wearing that ring
[01:20:32] Craig Carton: Besides turkey, what's the one thing you have to have on your Thanksgiving table? Stuffing. Stuffing for you? Gumbo. Gumbo? His mom makes the best gumbo, by the way. That's a fact.
[01:20:46] Kevin Connolly: Come on, Stovetop, I made my stuff.
[01:20:47] Craig Carton: Yeah, it's weird. I grew up a little differently, but stuffed up stuffing is a great stuffing. I think it's the only stuffing. Yeah, by the way, can you name a second stuffing? No need to make me feel bad, I'm fine.
[01:20:59] Kevin Connolly: Backup stuffing you can name somebody will make something but stuffing is always the go-to. Yeah, we always have a cranberry And canned cranberries.
[01:21:06] Wayne: It's got to be right, too. The stuffman has to be right. It'll mess everything up.
[01:21:10] Craig Carton: That's a New Orleans Thanksgiving right there. All right, question number two. Oh, this is a good one. What's the dumbest thing you ever spent money on after one o'clock in the morning?
[01:21:21] Kevin Connolly: I'll give you an answer. A spray tan machine.
[01:21:23] Craig Carton: You bought the machine?
[01:21:24] Kevin Connolly: I did. You still have it? No, I had to throw it away. Did it work? Yeah, it worked. I spray tanned a bunch of people. It was bad. I got rid of it. You had like spray tan parties?
[01:21:35] Craig Carton: Afterparties yeah, not on purpose You got answered I was yeah
[01:21:41] Wayne: My name is always any restaurant that's a 24-hour restaurant that I would have to buy the food from that late because I never would eat it.
[01:21:48] Craig Carton: Got it. I wasn't money on seamless and doors like you
[01:21:51] Wayne: It's like you always fool yourself right before that hour that you're starving So you sit down and look at what it is. I'll be okay
[01:22:03] Craig Carton: I once spent money on a teal on a dog race at three o'clock in the morning and to this day I don't know if the dogs existed or if they were racing but I know I lost my money.
[01:22:11] Wayne: Oh, I thought you was at the race.
[01:22:13] Craig Carton: I was not at the races online. All right, here's another one
[01:22:16] Wayne: You ever saw those camel races?
[01:22:17] Craig Carton: I have seen those, I would have bet on them back in the day.
[01:22:20] Wayne: So it's heavy into that. Is that right? Yeah. He bought me a camel for my birthday. He bought you a camel? He has his own camel racing league. I love camels. I swear.
[01:22:32] Craig Carton: I can ride camels. Out there like in Saudi Arabia somewhere. Swizz Beatz owns a camel racing league? You own camels? There's a camel named after you or what is it?
[01:22:42] Wayne: No, he bought me one for my birthday. I named it Toe Pro. He's got it installed. Sharp for Camel Toe, Pro. Yeah. Toe pro.
[01:22:50] Craig Carton: Has it won a race?
[01:22:52] Wayne: Now, there's real shit, man. Swizz had a man FaceTime me like a real chic or something. I don't know. He's like, yeah, Lil Wayne. Like your guy. The trainer. I mean, he just got a camel for you. Like, I remember, we're going to get him right and ready for you and ready to race. He ain't ready to raise shit. He's not ready yet? He's a real true story.
[01:23:10] Kevin Connolly: Really? That must be a good camel though, there's no way they just gave him some regular camels. That's crazy! Sweet Beats is a producer and he's- Of course, he's gotta have good camels too. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[01:23:20] Wayne: He bought me a camera for my birthday, because I would always joke with him about this whole ordeal that you are into.
[01:23:28] Craig Carton: We're gonna have to have him on the show. Yeah, I would Joe you would love what?
[01:23:32] Wayne: And at least your kids is like, it's okay. He bought me a jacket and I wear the jacket when he come on because it says the name of the league.
[01:23:40] Craig Carton: On there. That's crazy. People give you crazy shit.
[01:23:43] Wayne: Yeah, so listen to that.
[01:23:45] Craig Carton: Like, how do you think you woke up in there and said, I'm gonna get into camera.
[01:23:48] Wayne: I wanna get involved, I'm ready to get involved. That's a Swiss nationality.
[01:23:52] Craig Carton: He's Saudi Arabian.
[01:23:53] Wayne: I won't say I don't get it wrong, but he's not at least yeah, that's his people
[01:23:57] Craig Carton: That's crazy. I love that. That's a great story. All right. Next question. Here we go. Can you explain what 6-7 is?
[01:24:03] Wayne: I can't um, it's it's a one of my singles. It's called six foot seven foot. It's a great song. Check it out
[01:24:10] Craig Carton: I thought it was the mellow ball, but okay, okay.
[01:24:12] Wayne: You're crazy, man. All right. Do you know what it is? I don't. Six foot, seven foot. Yeah. But what is it for real?
[01:24:18] Craig Carton: It's all these kids have a thing I don't think it means anything
[01:24:21] Wayne: No, it does. I know I was told because I have kids and that's why I asked them because I was I was schooled on it Like what is it?
[01:24:28] Craig Carton: Well, they don't.
[01:24:30] Wayne: It's a don't know the artist isn't artist a younger artist. He has a song and on the song. He says I'll put you Six seven, he's talking about six feet deep in a seven foot wide coffin
[01:24:42] Kevin Connolly: Six by seven.
[01:24:43] Wayne: And it's also widely known that that is not what everyone else means when they say it. That's where it comes from. That's just his thing. So they say everyone else turned for it is generally whatever. Got it. It could be good, bad, whatever they say.
[01:24:57] Kevin Connolly: They just like saying it. The kids just like sayin' it.
[01:25:00] Wayne: And also, this means it. Within 12 hours.
[01:25:01] Kevin Connolly: Within 12 hours, I'll be dropping that off, I'm going to be like, I know.
[01:25:06] Craig Carton: I'd final one. Would you rather throw or catch the game-winning Super Bowl touchdown?
[01:25:15] Kevin Connolly: I think I had to be high-stepping into the end zone for the game. Yeah, I think you want to score, right?
[01:25:18] Craig Carton: Yeah, I think you want to score, right? Like, would you like Plaxico-Barras, game-winning touchdown? I agree.
[01:25:22] Kevin Connolly: Or Eli Manning. I'd rather throw it. You want to throw it? You want it? He wants to get his Doug Flutie on. No, I just like...
[01:25:27] Wayne: No, I just want the quarterback check. That's also fair, yeah. That's right. I'm sure if I throw that game one in touchdown in the Super Bowl, my negotiation for the next season is gonna be something to talk about.
[01:25:39] Kevin Connolly: But that Plaxico catch was nice. Yeah, it was wide open.
[01:25:44] Wayne: But that's why we can also accomplish the same thing and it don't even have to be the Super Bowl, Odell.
[01:25:49] Craig Carton: That's right, that's right. So arguably the greatest catch in the history of football If I give you random names of very successful rappers, do you think you you'll know their stage name? Mm-hmm. Let's go. All right, here we go Navadius de moon Wilburn better known to America as Navadias Navadious and it's not it. That's not a key and peel bit. It ain't like Balaque Okay.
[01:26:19] Wayne: Yeah, it's definitely not so dumb.
[01:26:21] Craig Carton: That is future.
[01:26:22] Wayne: Okay, okay, I didn't not know that man With that man name is yeah, I see why he be he be evading and avadism
[01:26:33] Craig Carton: By the way, if my name was Nevadius, I might change it too, to be honest.
[01:26:37] Wayne: No, I'm gonna make the most out of Nevadius. I'm going to have a bunch of little bitty Nevadus's walker. You know how they be saying about when a quarterback do good in the game, there's about to be a bunch of little Peyton's next year. It'll be a little bunch of Nevadiuses.
[01:26:51] Craig Carton: The best was when brett musberg on tv showed the hot girl whatever her name was at fsu and he ordered alabama and he goes well moms and dads you should raise your sons to be quarterbacks because that's what they get i've never seen that and he was like a dirty old man when he said it was captain webb was the girl dating um shoot i forget the alabam quarterback but he was the point like tell your boys to be quarterbacks Because they get to go home with that. From Musburger!
[01:27:20] Wayne: They had a Laney Wilson up there today on game day. I hit up, I hit Pat up. I hit pat up, as I see y'all up there, boy. Y'all out there, Louisiana having fun, huh, boy? Then they got Brooks Nader, Brooks on there, she got the press out, I was like, oh!
[01:27:39] Craig Carton: She knows what she's got. Yeah. All right. Here's the next one. Jacques Berman Webster, the second. What Jacques Bermann Webster the second
[01:27:55] Wayne: I used to wear it, I don't wear it much a lot.
[01:28:01] Craig Carton: That's Travis Scott. They make real nice sweaters. Exactly.
[01:28:06] Wayne: That's Travis Scott.
[01:28:07] Craig Carton: That's Travis Scott.
[01:28:08] Wayne: So he thought a dope rap name would be a real regular name. Yeah, yeah. Human being, American name. Travis Scott.
[01:28:18] Craig Carton: Travis Scott was Jacques Berman-Webster II.
[01:28:20] Wayne: That nigga wow that nigga I'll be jock jock and be mad if you if you call me jock without pronouncing that Z H.
[01:28:35] Craig Carton: I'll give you two more, Melissa Vivian Jefferson.
[01:28:42] Wayne: MVJ? Yes. Lizzo! Alright, makes sense.
[01:28:48] Craig Carton: That one makes sense, Alyssa Lizzo. Is that the connection there? I'll give you that one. And I'll gave you one more. What was her middle name? Her middle name is Vivian.
[01:28:58] Wayne: Vivian, okay.
[01:28:59] Craig Carton: Yeah, Vivian, she plays the flute, right? Isn't Lizzo?
[01:29:02] Wayne: You don't meet a lot of flutists. Andre 3000 played a flute. He walks around Dallas.
[01:29:07] Craig Carton: Playing the flute.
[01:29:08] Wayne: Yes.
[01:29:09] Craig Carton: Can you trust a man that walks around playing the flute?
[01:29:11] Wayne: I put out a whole album, I put a whole flute album like this year. Really? Like walk around playing it like, no security. Just like down the street like? Yeah, you get phone, like you get the phone call, you know like, I just signed a $3,000, I get down there and we were playing flute. He is the guy. With no security and? He went to the Met Gala with a piano on his back. Come on. You didn't see what he wore for the Met. I didn't. He had a piano in his back, the whole piano.
[01:29:40] Craig Carton: Like a legit real
[01:29:42] Wayne: I mean, obviously, you can't wear that on. Not like it's 500 pounds. But it was legit, visually it was, you know, it was a legit big piano on it's back.
[01:29:50] Craig Carton: You ever go to the Met Gala?
[01:29:51] Wayne: Never been.
[01:29:52] Craig Carton: Would you wanna go?
[01:29:53] Wayne: I don't know if they do that. I asked Tiger recently, cause I saw he was there and I asked him, I was like, what y'all do that? He was like true, for he was just sitting, he was like they have few, they have entertainment to everyone, check that out.
[01:30:05] Craig Carton: But you hang out with the people you know, you have some drinks.
[01:30:07] Wayne: Yeah, I don't know none of the people.
[01:30:10] Craig Carton: I've never been invited. Really? Yeah.
[01:30:12] Wayne: All this time.
[01:30:13] Craig Carton: Yeah, why would I, yeah, like, cause man, I had to put a G guy.
[01:30:16] Wayne: They know someone will dress you. Berman. Jacques Berman Jacques Bermann Webster He can't help you.
[01:30:27] Craig Carton: I call me Joe Jacques. I need somebody to adjust me for the Met Gala. Wayne told me you'd cover me.
[01:30:34] Wayne: Actually, if future were that, well, future's the Nevadius, future Nevadus, right?
[01:30:38] Craig Carton: Okay, yeah. Yo, Nevadius.
[01:30:40] Wayne: Yes.
[01:30:42] Craig Carton: I want door A or door B for the last name door a door a Cameron Jabril Tomas with a Z at the end Cameron Jabril. Tomas camera. That's what I thought. Wiz Khalifa. What? Yeah, Cameron Jabril tomas. What is Wiz Khalif? What a Khalifa? What that mean? I don't know. So his name not Khalifa his name is not Khalif. Nor is it Wiz, by the way. Yeah.
[01:31:10] Wayne: So, it would be totally not crazy if I told you, yeah, Lil Wayne, but my real name is Terry Antoine. You're like, nigga, where did the Wayne come from? I don't know, neither.
[01:31:25] Kevin Kay: I just made it up.
[01:31:25] Wayne: I thought it was dope. The weed was really good that day. That day, it worked. What the hell?
[01:31:32] Craig Carton: We do a thing here every now and then, it's called a blind rank. So it's going to be one to five. I'm going to give you, it is the five worst jet moments when you were in New York jet, all right? Now I'm gonna give you one at a time. You have to put them in whatever spot you think it's gonna be. Once you use that spot, you can't use that slot again. You got it? All right, in no particular order, and you have to decide, is this the worst jet moment, second worst, etc. All right? No particular order. When you wake up, on a random morning, and the back page of the New York Post has a picture of your head coach who has a foot fetish, Rex Ryan. Now, it was his wife's feet and toes, so nothing wrong with it. One to five, where would you put the Rex Ryan foot fetdish as weirdest or worst jet moments in your career? So one's the worst jet moment, five would be the fifth worst, but I only have five. Where do you want to put the Rex Ryan foot fetish? I'll put that at two. Number two, all right, did he ever address the team about, guys look, it's my wife's feet, they're sexy feet, I like to kiss those feet, you guys do your own weird things, that's my weird thing.
[01:32:49] Darrelle Revis: Yes, he addressed that.
[01:32:51] Craig Carton: Oh, my God!
[01:32:55] Darrelle Revis: He definitely addressed it. What did he say? It was it was all it was all in the news. It was a big topic of discussion at the time. He just addressed us and just said, Hey, guys, there's going to be an article coming out that I have a foot fetish. And we were kind of like, wait, what? What is this? Watchly football. What are we talking about? Foot fetish is for. But we all know now that Rex love. Yeah, see, he likes...
[01:33:24] Craig Carton: I just think everyone's got their own little things a little picadillo's his was his wife's toes and they even made a video Did you guys see the video? Yes? When you saw the video and it's Wayne it's him going up like a car and his wife So I got a feet up like summertime or toes are out and he's like my you've got some lovely feet When you say that video, what did you think?
[01:33:51] Darrelle Revis: That was something that was, it went viral, but that was something that was just like, Rex, I didn't know this about you. But something he likes is his vice.
[01:34:01] Craig Carton: It is his wife. It is. So again, I'm being respectful. He talks about it. All right. So that's number two. All right, here's one. You were back with the Jets when a very little known special team player punched Geno Smith in the mouth and broke his jaw. Were you in the locker room when that happened?
[01:34:21] Darrelle Revis: Yes, I was there and I heard, like in the neighborhood, you know, when you grow up, you hear something, you hear a smack and you kind of, I kind of looked and was like, yo, that sounds familiar. That was that, that was that. Oh. But you heard the connection. I heard the connect for sure. And did you go running over, like what the F just happened? The entire locker room ran over to that area, kind of see, I had to kind of go around the bend and see what was going on. But, uh, that's offense, you see, I know, that is offense.
[01:34:54] Craig Carton: Todd Bulls had an emergency press conference and said, oh, and by the way, our starting quarterback's gonna be out for six to eight weeks, he has a broken jaw, you can ask him about it. Like, and Todd's, I love Todd, and he's very kind of close to the best guy. He hated to have to do that, because everyone's like, what the heck happened? And it was over 500 bucks. As, you know, the charity event that Sino blew off, and the guy, Ike Kananbaba, I was like, look. You blew off my camp. I want my money back. I bought you a first class ticket. And Gino said, take a hike, Rook.
[01:35:27] Darrelle Revis: Yeah, that's the back story of it and that's very true. I think it was unfortunate for us as a team because, you know, Gino was definitely going to start. You know, we were looking. That's what we drafted him for in the second round and we was looking forward to see him develop and evolve and that incident happened with a teammate and you know we got to go back to the drawing board to figure out how we going to win this year. So where do you put that one to five? You can't pick number two. I've heard of you.
[01:35:53] Craig Carton: Number two? I'll say that's three. Three? All right, number three. He's waiting for the obvious one at number one. Let's see if he gets it. Here's the next one. That first half, January 23rd, 2011, the day my son is born, first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game when the defense was a no-show, came back damn near won the game. What happened in that first half?
[01:36:20] Darrelle Revis: That first half, as I recall, I think we came out a little bit flat. Flat, you know, you could just tell in the locker room guys were a little bit more usually before games a little more excited. I do think that the Pittsburgh Steelers at that time were very experienced football team too as well. So they've been the playoff year in and year out. That was kind of our year where we felt very strong. We felt we were confident as a team. And we felt that we can We had to go through Pittsburgh to beat him and we knew it was gonna be tough, but I recall this just coming out a little bit too flat. Where would you put that? One, four, or five?
[01:37:03] Craig Carton: I'll put that four. That's number four. All right, we got two to go. I'll save the best one for last. It's Wayne's favorite play for the Jets. All right. When Rex decides to put Mark Sanchez back in the preseason game against the Giants, because he's trying to win the Snoopy Bowl, and then he gets hurt, and obviously the season goes to pot right after that, you want to make that one or five.
[01:37:26] Wayne: I'll make that one five. Number five. You're a real chess fan, boy. That's my god, boy!
[01:37:31] Craig Carton: We went to back-to-back AFC Championship games and then Rex got stupid. He might have been the foot fetish Wayne It could have been all right and now for all of us Not even debatably for me number one. So now it's your number one Thanksgiving night You know what I'm getting at? The Mark Sanchez butt fumble.
[01:37:53] Wayne: I thought that's what you was going for when you first said Mark, that's why I thought you were going for. Yeah.
[01:37:57] Craig Carton: Yeah, number one, did you know it happened when it happened? And walk me through how bad that Thanksgiving was for you. The turkey was dry. That's number one.
[01:38:08] Darrelle Revis: So you can jot that down, but where I was, I was in my living room watching the game, touring my ACL. So I was out during that year and I had my leg kicked up. I was just trying to recover, rest, and I'm watching the games and that play comes up and I just turned it, I just cut off the teeth. I was so pissed because they picked up the fumble, obviously, they ran it back in for a touchdown and I was really pissed because I was, you know, I'm a competitor, I want to be out there with my teammates as well since I was injured and it was just tough and then also just the embarrassment of the butt fumble as well.
