Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk to Virgil Salazzo about a business opportunity for the two of us. And we'll also talk to Santino about the new toll booth on the Jones Beach Causeway. And Fredo will come on to give us his best fishing tips. But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show.
I go to the bathroom, and I'm the first one in there. There are four urinals. I pull in, and right behind me, the guy says, hey, they didn't let anyone in here. It was John Smoltz. He was to my right. I looked to my left. Tom Glavin was on my left. And then I looked at the fourth urinal, which was behind me, and it was Greg Madden.
No, you're right in the starting rotation. You're in the starting rotation with them. Fantastic.
Right.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
That to me is an example of what we do in the summer. That we talk about things that are not necessarily news related. This, for example, is a catch-up show. We're going to have Jason LaConfora and we're going to have Jeff Ma and we're going to catch up. We're going to say, what have you been doing? That's because... Baseball is out there, but nothing else is out there. I'm not talking about NBA Summer League. I don't care about that. The World Cup is over. Golf is over. Tennis is on hiatus until the end of the month and the beginning of September with the U.S. Open. There's really nothing out there except football training camps, which is great because the country runs on football. Yes. Doesn't run on Duncan.
Runs on football. So today is a catch-up show on a lot of levels. We have to concede a bad mistake here on my part. Gary Edel, who, of course, has been so generous to us with my dad's chips, giving us box after box. Right, and I haven't seen it yet, but I'll open it up soon and give it to the kids and take a bunch for myself. Other kids have their own. Oh, okay. Oh, good. There is a tasting, and it's in Rehoboth, and it's Saturday, and I don't know where. Yeah, I don't know where. We had a document, and I didn't properly secure it. Yeah, we didn't properly announce this, and it's going to be too late to do it. Do we have a website?
I will work on getting the location and see if we can mention it in the mailbag.
Yeah, okay, so that would be good if we could do that because the chips are great. Chips are fantastic. I mean, my personal favorite is the original flavor. That's just mine, but there's like five or six different flavors that are good.
Jalapeno Sriracha fan myself.
You like that, right? Yeah, that's good. That's got a kick to it for sure. So I also wanted to mention. We are going into August. Our contract year in both PTI and the podcast begins in September. So for bookkeeping purposes, I start the year number one show September and count all the way till the end of August. This is our last show in July. I like to do 150 shows. You know, I mean, I think people listen, and I think you like the continuity of it, and I like doing it. You know, but we are now, this is our 141st show, and we have a month to go. So we're going to take one week off in August. We took, I'm pretty sure I took a week off in January or February when I went to Florida to play golf. Yes. So this is the second week off, and that gives you 50 weeks.
Oh, you got your bonus episode about the flight.
Oh, yeah. You're confessional. Absolutely. Well, it lasted. I mean, we were like, I don't know, delayed by six hours. You know, that's hard to remember. Hard to forget, rather.
Not hard to remember. As I recall, while you were gone, that was when just the deluge of snow and ice opened up over D.C.
So that is the schedule. The one time I leave my kids. Go ahead.
So you choose 150. Are you, do you have any issue with it being an, like with the five? Is that jarring to you? Do you want, do you think 160 would be cleaner or are you good with the five?
No, I'm good with 150 because I think that represents three shows a week, 50 weeks and two weeks off. I mean, to me, that's always been a good number. So that's, You know, that's pretty much what we'll do. Is that a hard stop?
