What has Tony planted in his vegetable garden?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Barry Zerluga about starting his new job with The Athletic, and we'll dive into the NBA playoffs with Tim Legler. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
If you're SiriusXM, take note. The victory is getting the live person. Oh, yes. Getting away from the chat bot. Yeah. The robot. Just hang tight. Hang tight. Anyway, so at least one of the numbers that Joel Dollinger gave me was good. That's outstanding. And I'm grateful for that. And I don't want to even talk about the SiriusXM one. I'll just talk about it briefly. When you finally get a person.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
It's unbelievable how that strikes a chord with people because all of us go through the same thing. You get someone offshore. They tell you we can't tell you where we are. But you can ask for my social security number. And I'm supposed to give that to you, but you can't tell me where you are.
Follow the script. There is a great story in the emails about a very high-profile figure that was trying to deal with customer service.
Okay. Well, I'll get to it.
What's your go-to SiriusXM channel these days? Still Coffeehouse?
I don't listen to it ever. I don't listen to it ever.
Big yacht rock guy?
I have it. I didn't particularly like yacht rock.
It was okay. You like the live channel that have live versions of songs?
Yeah, covers.
Covers, yeah.
But I... I don't listen to anything in the car. I make a phone call and I sit in silence. I'm morbid to be around. I'm awful.
Well, you do call ESPN Radio on longer drives. I do. I do when I yell about... Talk programming.
I yell about who's on, who's not on. So a couple of things I wanted to get to. The plants, my peppers and tomatoes are now in the ground. Michael planted the last tomato plant 10 minutes ago. We have potting soil around.
We have different approaches to planting the tomatoes. go ahead explain i like to take off the lower uh what will become branches but the lower stems right there just to get deeper roots and i tend to put in a bit of an angle just again to support the lower uh root system and you just plop them straight in on top well i'm horrified to see what he does because i think it will kill the plants because they're going no they're gonna chase the sun so but i yeah but i i just put them in with the potting mix around them and and see what happens yeah
We'll see what happens. So they're in. We're waiting for the potatoes. And by waiting, I mean, Michael has to buy the potatoes. And then we have to find the eyes. And then we have to follow the script from Buster, which we will do within a week.
Yeah, I find myself waiting at the grocery store searching difference between Yukon gold and just gold potatoes. Apparently, this is a specific variety that I've always just assumed was a gold potato.
Yeah, well, Buster says Yukon gold is the way to go. Okay, so that's good. Yes. Well, there's been great success with the peppers and tomatoes in the past.
There's been limited success.
There has been limited success.
Although the boys like to walk by and take your bounty.
And those are okay. The cherry tomatoes that they grab by their hands, that's all good. Okay. So I wanted to deal with that. The Nats had an early game yesterday. I didn't know until the fifth inning, but then I watched it. They scored 3,000 runs. They chased all the Minnesota pitchers. Yeah. I will just say this. I think it's time to send Kiebert Ruiz away. Except for yesterday. Yeah, he had a very nice day. He had two run-producing doubles and a solo home run.
Yeah, three for four, go-ahead home run, two doubles, four rubies.
How can I...
How about this from MLB.com? Nats were searching for their first home series win, then their catchers stepped up.
Yeah. So Drew Millis the other day, who I think is no good as a hitter, I don't think he's a major league hitter, hit a home run. I'm convinced that Kiebert Ruiz cannot play and that they should just cut the losses. It's just...
Both were under 200 going into the series. And he was terrific. Ruiz's quote, I've been working really hard with the hitting coach here and they've been helping me a lot every single day.
