You never know what is on the other end of the phone when you take a call on-air in sports radio. On Monday’s edition of Carton and Roberts on WFAN in New York, Evan Roberts got to hear what could have been an in-law had things worked out differently for his grandfather.
A caller named Kerry told Roberts that his mother lived in Boynton Beach, Florida, which is where Roberts’s grandfather lived. According to this caller, the two dated for a while.
“Was my grandmother still alive at this point?” Evan Roberts asked.
Kerry assured him she was not. He provided just enough detail that Roberts was convinced the man’s story was true. Roberts’s partner, Craig Carton, wanted more details. He asked Kerry if the couple ever had sex.
“I don’t think they went that far,” Kerry said.
Carton was disappointed. He and Evan Roberts determined that if Kerry’s mother and his grandfather had gotten married, Kerry would be Roberts’s step-uncle. It was something that Kerry said he was always intrigued by, as he is a long time fan of Evan’s.
“You would have gotten together for all the Jewish holidays. You would have told stories of how Evan’s grandfather defiled your mother over brisket,” Carton said.
Carton then put Kerry on hold and directed him to give producers his phone number so he and Evan could have a private conversation later. Evan Roberts clearly enjoyed the phone call and the chance to reminisce about his grandfather, who he says was something of a ladies’ man after Evan’s grandmother passed away.
“He was the king of his palace. Like, the women loved him. And I heard, now I don’t know that he did it, but a lot of married women were loving him.”
