What issues did Tony face while golfing over the weekend?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Michael Wilbon about the NBA playoffs and also about the Wizards getting the number one pick in the draft. We will also chat with Richard Justice about the passing of Ted Turner and Bobby Cox. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
What have I said about cruises? What is my position on cruises? You don't go on a cruise. No. There's not enough ice cream that they could give you to do this.
How are the Nats affected by their broadcasting changes?
And so on this boat, all the ice cream is gone now. On this boat, they were giving out ice cream right away. All the ice cream is gone because they need the freezer for the dead people.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
A lot of people talk to me over the weekend about cruising. Hardly anybody wants to go on a cruise. I know there are thousands and millions of people that want to go on cruises, but those who talk to me seem to think that cruising was not the world's greatest.
So you're not going to Nebraska this week?
No, I'm not going to Nebraska. You can get cruises everywhere, you know, everywhere that abuts the water.
What insights does Michael Wilbon provide about the NBA playoffs?
Sure, river cruises, things like that. River cruises is not what we're talking about. No. We're talking about high ocean seas. No, we're not. Yeah. Okay. Disney character cruises. Yeah, I'm not going to go on those. It's May 11th.
What memories does Richard Justice share about Ted Turner and Bobby Cox?
You're a cast member. Happy Steve Spurrier Day, 5-11. Today's not very good. It's not very good. But not the worst. But you find out that there are worse days so that makes you feel a little bit better because we're not in the worst day. So just everybody internalize that it's Steve Spurrier Day. All right. I played golf every day. I played golf Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
What is the significance of the Wizards getting the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft?
I played three times at Columbia. Three times in a row I get to number 16, which is at the tees that I play. It's a 100 to 120-yard shot. A little downhill. It's down to 87. But it's over water. Oh, no. And each of the three days, and it goes back before this, I dump two balls in the water. Set the scene. Where is the pin?
How does Tony feel about the concept of tanking in sports?
The pin is in the lower left yesterday. Pin's in the lower left. It's probably a 100-yard shot. They have moved the gold tees back a little bit. It's a 100-yard shot. That's the weekend. But I can... Case of play. Yeah, I can... I never had this trouble before. Even if I bailed out left, went over the water left and not going out the pin.
What are the implications of the NBA Draft Lottery results?
I've at least four times in a row, I've lost eight balls this way. At least four times in a row I put, and then I don't even go to the drop area. So I like to imagine Jordan Spieth.
Give me an eight. Just still dropping on the other side of the creek.
Yeah, I just, I just. What do you guys call an eight? A snowman? Snowman is an eight. I put two in the water.
What questions does Tony answer from the Mailbag?
I mean, come on. it's just every single time it has to be mental can't be physical it has to be mental i approach the shot i tense up i gotta put your hat on backwards i blade it i do everything wrong like bill murray i was thinking tin cup yeah he's got all the weird fixes yeah who hit that just really bad can you help me with yeah what am i what do you think i'm doing
I think you just got to change the club. We have to commit to one swing thought, get up there and just bang it. My only swing thought is it's going in the water. I think for you, we're always going to be aiming at that left third no matter where the pin is.
I do, but I just really bet. So I have a small complaint. I couldn't watch the Nats yesterday. I apparently don't get Peacock. Yep. It wasn't on Nats channel 1261 on my cable system. It was on Peacock. Does that mean did Dan Coco do the call? He was not. So they put in their own people. That's an NBC affiliate, Peacock. Who was doing the call?
I think it was Franzen doing it with someone else.
Okay, I couldn't see it.
He's an NBC guy. We had it on mute for much of it. It took us a while to find it as well. But we do get Peacock through a shared account.
I don't understand this. Let me just put this in simple terms that people will understand. I pay $327 a month to Comcast for cable. Let me repeat the number.
