Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show.
There's nothing like standing in line at the UPS. No hats. I thought we gave away some of those.
You didn't give me. The bagel hats.
No, I'd already sent this in the mail. These are individually packaged bags of liquid IV. Oh. Doesn't look suspicious at all. And various loose underpants. So, yeah.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. So I had time off.
Thanks, Nigel.
I had time off.
Loose underpants. And I was going to go play golf on the beach. I played on Thursday, played 11 holes on Friday before torrential rain, and that was it. Came home Saturday because I didn't want to come home in the rain on Sunday, and that was it. I was done.
Yes. I called you on Friday. You pulled a caddyshack. You were on the 17th picking a ball out of a bunker. Right.
I hit two balls on my third shots. I hit two into the bunker, left bunker, picked them up and came in because it started to rain, and it was significant rain, not just drizzle rain. Frogs jumping out of the cups. It was difficult.
Yeah.
It was difficult. So what did I... All right, so I want to go over a couple of things here. Maybe we did this and maybe we didn't. It's a long time ago. And by a long time ago, it's November 21st, 2022. And I don't know why I had this if I hadn't not read it. My name is Tim Murphy. I'm a 35-year-old Maryland native. I'm writing to you on behalf of my dad, Kevin, an insurance agent in Mount Airy, Maryland. My dad is, I believe, the most loyal little in your fan base. He's a longtime listener and viewer, and he loves your books. Whenever he calls or writes into your show and gets any sort of on-air acknowledgement, we all hear about it. He never misses a show. You're always referred to as Mr. Tony in his presence.
My dad is one of the most personable people I know as such. He seems to be able to find connections to you everywhere he goes. Sometimes he's networking and he meets up with fellow littles. Most recently, I mentioned Jimmy Buffett's escape to Margaritaville was going to Toby's Dinner Theater in Columbia, Maryland, which led to, do you know who created that? Greg Garcia. Do you know what Greg Garcia used to do? My dad loves you and your work. Would it be possible to get your autograph for him? If you could make it out to Kevin, that would be amazing. But I appreciate anything you can do. Your career continues to enrich my dad's life. Thank you for that. Is this good enough? I hope. This is so much better than a dopey signature.
You can play this over and over and over and over again. So hope that works out. Signatures fade over time. Yeah. Here's the golf ball. Oh, Nigel was here yesterday. And so Nigel knows that this is true what I'm about to say. Uh, we got this letter, a couple of emails, a couple of this. No, I'm going to get to that. Okay.
Who sent the Mailbag golf ball story and what’s the Cooperstown mystery?
From Jack. Oh, the sports editor of pipe dream. That's right. Yes. So I called him like this. And so we got this on April 24th. Right. And he sends it into the mailbag. And he says, look, I'd like to speak to you about your career and BU athletics. If you're willing, the interview would take about 30 to 45 minutes and could be conducted via Zoom or on the phone if that's easier for you. I'm happy to work around your schedule. I understand you're very busy, so I really appreciate your time. Let me know if there's something you'd be interested in and feel free to email or give me a call. And he gave me his number to ask any questions you might have. Why don't you explain what I did?
So, yeah, Sunday afternoon, sitting with Tony. He says, we're going to call this kid. Let's call the kid. Not give him any heads up notice. That's his move. And this is his shot. Yeah. Let's call the kid. And the kid, and I can hear over the phone, the kid sort of answering very confusedly, like, oh, my gosh, this is Tony. A college kid on a Sunday mid-afternoon.
You woke him up. Right.
Exactly. Right. And you said, you know, I can't give you 45 minutes, but I'm ready to talk. Here I am right now. You're ready to go? You want me? You're ready to go? Let's go. I was betting heavily that he was going to say, give me five minutes.
