It's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk about the ratings for the World Cup with John Orian of Puck News. And we'll cover a bunch of things with Pat Forty, including whether the squirrels have destroyed his garden yet. And we will have George, who never speaks, actually speak. But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornhauser Show.
They are trying to physically beat you down and to complain about yellow cards. You're lucky you didn't get 10 more of them.
They should have gotten 10 more of them, and this went on all week. Tony, the most sluggish thing they do is when they stand around a player on the ground and want to dare his teammates to push you away. In hockey, this would cause for a stick-swinging-at-hand situation.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is General George Washington, and you're listening to The Tony Kornheiser Show. Wilbon's position is don't cry for me, Argentina.
He doesn't like Argentina. And he's right. And they did behave that way. They were knocking people around. They were knocking people around all over the place. Including after the match. Not a single shot on goal in more than 120 minutes of soccer. It's a sport they know. They were the reigning World Cup champions. Not a single shot on goal. You know, if I'm Messi, and that's my last World Cup game ever, I'm distraught. Yeah, it's a bad taste to go out with. I'm sure a guy as great as Messi, and we're not going to talk about the World Cup much, but I'm sure a guy as great as Messi believes that he can win these games by himself, and he just needs a little bit of help. Yeah. But as Gisele Bundchen once said, my husband throws the ball, cannot catch the ball as well.
Okay. George is here. George who does not speak. George Bushby, who is the pro at Rehoboth Beach Country Club. Coming off a busy week. Coming off a very busy week at the member guest where I had a lot of issues that I'm not going to go into because I really enjoyed myself tremendously. But let's start with how many people actually played in this? It's got to be about 150. uh we had 84 teams so 168. 168 players two shotguns the format is you you are in a flight which is just a word for the group that you're in it's called a flight in golf and there were six teams in each flight so you have to play nine whole matches five different nine hole matches and then there is a scoring system depending on how you do in these nine hole matches
One of my objections, but it's impossible. There's so many people in it. You can't do this. One of my not objections, but one of the things that I would do is I would try and have a sixth match, at least between the two top teams so that they could, you know, formally square off against each other. And then you would know, even though they played each other once already. you would formally know who was the best in the flight. How do you think it went, and what were the things that you were most worried about? So, yeah, long four days at the club. Overall went... Yeah, they took off right after. Nobody was there Sunday.
Nobody was there Sunday. You know, there's a lot of moving parts with this event specifically.
I mean, most traditional memory guests are three days.
You know, Thursday practice round, 27 holes Friday, 18 holes Saturday in a shootout. We do it a little differently where... Practice round is Wednesday. Yeah. I didn't practice. Wednesday, then stag night, and then we have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of competition.
There are other members of the club who are saying, wait, I can't use my course for four days. Four days of closure, yeah.
At least it's not the middle of the summer.
Yeah, exactly. So again, with that, our biggest, one of our biggest worries each year is weather, right? So, and this year it was weird, right? I mean, the weather was very, very hot and the, and the fires, the smoke from the fires, but just hot. Just hot, humid, but like Michael said, it's the middle of summer, so kind of as to be expected.
But, you know, we kind of dodged a bullet there. No storms, no rain delays. We had to move the shootout up Saturday.
