Carton and Friends open the second hour of the show talking about the possibility that the Yankees watched an audition last night from Texas starting pitcher, Cole Hammels; Carton says the Yankees need pitching, but don't need to make a deal immediately. Carton says playing in New York is not so bad, as the fact most people don't recognize you on the streets. Carton thinks UFC fighters should get better fight bonuses, specifically long term health benefits for fighters hurt in the octagon; Corey sees this as an idea for injured NFL players. Carton looks back the ousting of Clippers owner Donald Sterling was unfair, citing the issues today with teams like the Panthers and Texans being sold off after harassment and misconduct issues. Speaking of injuries, Carton knows football equipment has made the game safer, but the speed of the game, the massive size of the players, and just the societal reaction to football violence leads to safety issues. Carton test Michelle's knowledge on the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel.
