What emails and opening topics does Tony discuss at the start of the show?
Hey it's Tony. On today's show we'll talk to Michael Wilbon about the US Open, also about the Bears dropping fifty nine on the Panthers. We'll also talk about the Longhorns big comeback against the Buckeyes with Paul Feinbaum and other college stuff. But first, commerce. Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. And we were at the ESPN sports zone. I think it's on eleventh street. It no longer exists. But we were there doing a show and Andy and Kevin Stanfield and I, was there anybody else with us or was just the three of us?
Well, we were in the radio studio, but there were a number of people working in the restaurant at the time. And just for old time's sake, can I correct you and say it was the ESPN zone, not the ESPN sports zone? Is that what it was called? I thought
Didn't I always call it the E S Pen sports zone?
You did. Yeah. Yeah. And I always corrected you. Okay.
The Tony Kornizer Show is on
now. And from Shah to Haiku End Zone or SportsZone, it's fabulous. Fantabulous to hear from Andy Poland. I you know, look, I don't remember anything and I'm happy to say I don't remember anything. I thought the show was ten to twelve. That's what I remember this year. I didn't think it was ten o'clock. I thought the ESPN show that we did was ten to twelve, not ten to one. The earliest show Don't have that kind of self belief? Well, the earliest show that we did on WTEM Was ten to one. When I started in nineteen ninety two, because I didn't know any better. Five hours? Ten to one. Okay. Three hours. But I think I think I don't think That the ESPN show was ten to one. I think it was ten to twelve. I was just a listener back then, but I I recall it being a two hour show as well.
That's what I thought. Лемі тэнк осу полфайс нот або пришта. Лок у I I don't wanna frighten everybody with the story in the New York Times about how AI is literally going to kill everyone in the world within the next five years. Just go read it for yourself. Read it for yourself. Read it quickly because if you wait five years it might be too late. Have this lovely note here. Um I'm just gonna read this. Then we'll get to the show. You're smiling. First time, long time, and here to play games that are probably as done as a boiled egg. Luke Russert was on a November podcast last year, and I thought, hey, wait a minute. I met him once. It's an almost DA moment for me. You see, I don't travel out of my hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, Lane Who, very often.
And the chances of me meeting a little or a big in the wild can happen only if they come here. Case in point, the beautiful Luke Russard. Came to town a few years ago to do a book signing and be part of the Thacker Mountain Radio, a locally recorded show that highlights songwriters and authors. After standing in line and listening to other locals wax on about this or that, I bounced up and down and excitedly told Luke, I'm a little. He threw back his head and laughed and signed his book Le Cheeserie. But I digress back to my almost David Aldridge moments. Pablo Torre once retweeted me. Lace once replied to a comment I I posted on Twitter, aka X. My dad dated Linda Ronstadt in the 70s. Wow. What? Joe Arrow once followed me on Twitter.
How many almost DA moments add up to a full DA moment? My high school mascot was a lightning bolt. We were the Chargers. My alma mater, old miss, flushed the mouse, and now does not have a mascot. However, just down the road, Delta State University has the fighting okra as their unofficial.
I've used the code many times, Solo Stove, me, Undy's beep bespoke post. Just to name a few thanks for the savings. The worst song ever recorded is Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys. Awful, just awful. Oh. Don't we like the Oak Ridge Boys? I thought we did. I think aren't they our friends? Well, that's the Ozark. Still. My first name is Shannon Middle Marie Sumako. Try putting all of that on an application. The best fried chicken is at Four Corners Chevron in Oxford, and it's on a stick. Be sure to get a tater log, too. Some folks have them at their Ole Miss football tailgate.
