Only on the Carton Show on WFAN does a call about the Super Bowl spiral into a disastrous beef jerky joke, awkward silence, and Craig Carton absolutely ROASTING a caller in real time. Chris McMonigle and Carton bounce from Jets and 49ers misery to sucking eggs, terrible punchlines, and even Giannis-to-the-Knicks fantasy talk. A perfect example of how this show can go from food debates to sports insanity in seconds.
Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle dive into the most CRINGE-WORTHY moments of the New York Jets' 15-year playoff drought — from Sam Darnold “seeing ghosts” and Geno Smith's broken jaw to Aaron Rodgers' four-play nightmare. Things spiral quickly as callers introduce raw egg breakfasts, WWII trash talk, beef jerky showers, raccoon chicken massacres, and a wild Bill Belichick revenge fantasy that somehow ends with Breaking Bad alternate endings.
Craig Carton goes nuclear to open the Carton Show on WFAN, blasting the idea of the New York Knicks honoring LeBron James at Madison Square Garden. From fake retirement tears and ego-driven farewell tours to why LeBron should NEVER get a tribute in New York, Carton and Chris McMonigle debate respect, legacy, and Knicks pride.
The Carton Show goes completely off the rails on WFAN. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle start with an absurd beef jerky debate, spiral into deer hunting stories, then explode into a full-blown rant about why LeBron James deserves NO tribute at Madison Square Garden.
The Carton Show goes completely off the rails on WFAN as Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle spiral from a bizarre “suck eggs” insult from a Giants fan into a full-blown LeBron James takedown. Carton unloads on LeBron's legacy, MSG tributes, the Jordan debate, and why LeBron gets NOTHING in New York. Plus: Jets trade arguments, Sauce Gardner debates, Fear Factor and Hollywood Squares nostalgia, Wink Martindale, beef jerky hunting across Jersey, and Carton's all-time bad Halloween candy take.
An awkward moment opens the Carton Show on WFAN when Chris McMonigle realizes he was left off the station's on-air retreat email.

Plus, Giants fans lead the league in Super Bowl bets despite brutal odds, Sam Darnold's Seahawks somehow sit atop the board, and Carton unloads on delusional fanbases and wasted money.
Carton Reacts as Jets Hit ROCK BOTTOM & Giants Bets Go Crazy. Craig & Chris cover it all on the Carton Show!
The Carton Show takes a hard left turn from Tom Selleck jokes and Hogan's Heroes trivia into a full-blown Yankees debate. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to Brian Cashman's latest comments and push back hard on angry Yankee fans screaming about “running it back.” Carton argues Cashman has built a championship-caliber roster, questions what fans actually want, and explains why winning 94 games every year isn't something to take for granted.
A new Giants OC curveball hits when Art Stapleton floats Tanner Engstrom as a legitimate candidate after his Jets exit, citing his coaching ties and the idea that he may have been doomed by the Jets' quarterback situation. Evan and Tiki debate whether a fresh start with Jaxson Dart could unlock something different, even if Engstrom's first run as a coordinator didn't exactly inspire confidence. It quickly turns into a bigger point about trusting John Harbaugh, and the hilarious reality that Engstrom becoming competent in New York would only add another chapter to the “Jets ruin everyone” narrative. Then the show takes a sharp left into the station's internal soap opera as Tommy's group chat presence, late-night takes, and “who stole whose idea” drama becomes its own mini-segment, complete with receipts and a little friendly sabotage speculation. After that, the Mets portion arrives: Freddy Peralta meets the media and gets asked about an extension, and the crew reads between the lines. The instant “I just got here” framing tells the story, he's not eager to talk long-term yet, and it doesn't sound like something that's happening soon from either side. The segment closes with WFAN audio gold, including the rediscovery of the John Heyman blow-up clip and a new Clyde Frazier drop that instantly earns a spot in the rotation.
We went back into the archives to see how we actually reacted when Sam Darnold signed with Seattle, and it turns out we barely reacted at all. Instead of breaking down Darnold, we immediately pivoted to what it meant for everyone else. Now that Darnold is in the Super Bowl, we revisit that moment and ask what we missed. Plus, a surprising on-air moment involving Jerry Recco and an open Tampa Bay Buccaneers radio job. Why didn't Jerry bring it up directly, what the role really entails, and why this might be a bigger opportunity than it sounds. A mix of hindsight, media honesty, and a classic WFAN sidebar that turns into something much more interesting.
Evan & Tiki react to Art Stapleton linking former Jets OC Tanner Engstrand to the New York Giants, debate whether the Jets are officially the NFL's most dysfunctional franchise, and dive into coaching chaos, quarterback uncertainty, and front office leadership issues. Plus, fiery caller reactions, media feuds involving Joel Sherman, Jets despair at an all-time high, Yankees trade chatter, Mets contract talk, and classic WFAN banter you won't get anywhere else.
The show turns into a full sports smorgasbord, starting with the latest Giannis “ready for a new home” reporting and why the timing matters. The conversation breaks down how Giannis' leverage changes depending on whether a deal happens now or in the offseason, why a team like Detroit could make a move before he can fully steer the destination, and why Knicks fans might actually want this to wait so Giannis can pull the ultimate power move: the “no extension” threat that funnels him toward New York. From there, the discussion pivots to the Bill Belichick Hall of Fame weirdness, the Spygate bitterness lingering behind the scenes, and the most outrageous part of all: a voter claiming he can't even remember who he voted for. That leads to a classic WFAN flashback on the eternal question of public shaming voters, highlighted by the legendary Steve Summers moment that still makes everyone laugh. The segment wraps with calls on the Giants OC search, why Matt Nagy feels like a clean fit, and an unhinged but hilarious sidebar on Charlie Weis Jr, Jaxson Dart, and the conspiracy theory nobody asked for but everyone will remember.
Hour 2 opens with the debut of “Tiki's Top 5,” as Tiki lays out his preferred Giants offensive coordinator candidates after Todd Monken comes off the board. Matt Nagy sits at the top of the conversation thanks to the Andy Reid connection and play-calling experience, with other names like Kliff Kingsbury, Dave Ragone, Davis Webb, and a young riser in Declan Doyle getting a look. The big theme: Giants fans are ready to trust John Harbaugh no matter what, but the OC choice matters for Jaxson Dart and the direction of the offense. Then the show pivots back to the Jets, who reportedly hire a new defensive coordinator (Brian Duker) after a virtual interview just hours earlier. The guys react to what it says about the organization, how it essentially makes Aaron Glenn the real defensive boss while also trying to survive as head coach, and why Jets fans are spiraling into full-on “Woody meddling” paranoia. From there it turns into a true sports buffet: Giannis trade buzz heats up with Knicks fans debating whether the best move is waiting for the offseason leverage, while the crew rips into the Hall of Fame process after Bill Belichick is not first ballot and Bill Polian claims he is not 100% sure who he voted for. Plus, a classic WFAN flashback featuring Steve Summers going at the lone writer who did not vote for Jacob deGrom, and a hilarious detour into Charlie Weis Jr, Jaxson Dart, and an accidental Mark Wahlberg conspiracy.

Hour 2 opens with a hard look at the Jets' coaching mess and why firing Aaron Glenn after one year was never going to bring in a top-tier replacement. Evan and Tiki explain how Cleveland's chaotic search reinforces the idea that some NFL jobs have become flat-out undesirable, and why Glenn blowing up his own staff feels both necessary and desperate. Then the conversation pivots to breaking NFL news as the Bills make a surprise move by promoting Joe Brady to head coach. The guys react to Buffalo passing on bigger names, what it means for Brian Daboll's future, and why internal hires sometimes signal fear of losing “the next guy” rather than true conviction. The hour wraps with Super Bowl talk, Tiki breaking down ball security and the Peanut Punch, and a chaotic Posting and Toasting segment that spirals into snow-football arguments, old WFAN tweets resurfacing, and a surprisingly heated debate over one question: is it acceptable for a Jets fan to wear a Sam Darnold jersey during Seahawks week?
