What did Tony do on his weekend trip to Delaware?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Michael Wilbon about the U.S. Open and the World Cup. We'll also check in with Steve Sands to get his thoughts on Wyndham Clark winning his second U.S. Open amid jeering. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
In Toronto, biggest city in Canada, biggest province in Canada, and what does FIFA do to help out the RBC Canadian Open and the good people at Golf Canada who run that event? What? Let's put Canada in Toronto in Game 1 of the World Cup at 3 p.m. on Friday, head-to-head against the golf tournament. Oh, man, the people up there were not happy about the schedule in there from FIFA, but whatever. The World Cup blows. Who cares? Sorry.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
Sands will be on with us later. Sands always sends notes like sports is great. I love sports. Apparently not soccer. No. Not soccer. Let's do some business. Our dear friend Greg Garcia is appearing where and when?
This weekend? At the Arlington Cinema and Draft House this Friday and Saturday for four shows. He's opening up for Nick Thune. Okay. So his burgeoning stand-up career continues.
It's wonderful.
Go see him. Go see him. Arlington Cinema and Draft House this Friday and Saturday.
We want to thank Barry Snyder. Barry Snyder who writes, as I know, Dr. Tony receives gifts from littles and bigs. I'd like to send some award-winning Panamanian rum to Dr. Tony as a thank you for the countless hours of entertainment and for making me laugh when I need it most. Where can I send the rum? So the rum was sent to Nigel. That's right. With two bottles of rum and a hat. the hat was a cool hat it is a cool hat it's a nice panel it's a summer hat it's not it is a panama hat it's not a straw panama hat which i'm used to no it's a heavier material than that it's very nice and i have to confess I am, of course, unburdened by memory, but I don't ever remember drinking rum in my life. I just don't.
So I asked Nigel, what is the number one characteristic of rum? And you said it was sweet. Yeah. So sugary. Sugary, yeah. And then you said that people have it with Coca-Cola, rum and Coke, which I've heard of. Right. Why would you add to the sweetness by dipping it in with other sweet stuff? I'm not a rum person. I'm not. I don't.
You never had a darkened storm with all that time you spend on boats?
Nothing. No rum.
We don't keep rum.
As a captain, we thought for sure you would like it. Maybe I've had it, but I don't recall it ever. A daiquiri or anything like that? I've seen daiquiris. I'm not sure I've ever had a daiquiri. I'm not sure. If I've had them, it was a long time ago. Michael, are you a rum person? I'm not a rum person.
To me, rum is something that's very time and place. If you're at a setting where a darkened storm is appropriate, all the way.
Okay, so I'm not a rum guy. Did you open it? Did you open your bottle? I mean, we're very grateful for the bottle.
Yes, I did not sample it over the weekend. Okay, so you don't have to. But on occasion, I like rum, so I'm sure this is very good.
Yeah, it's award-winning, sure. So I went to Delaware on Friday, came back yesterday. At my age now, even though it's a three-hour drive, I have to take a nap afterwards. I'm tired. A three-hour tour. A three-hour tour, yeah. Not just because I'm old. I concentrate. You know, you're driving. You have the responsibility of making sure that everybody in the car is okay, including Jesse. I don't know this. I don't know what other dogs do. Jesse does not lay down during a car ride. She sits up. She's awake. So that when she gets home, she can nap for a while. But she's, you know, it's like she's driving too. She's very involved in that. I played golf a couple of times.
Do you find that the... Do you find the drives through the small towns in Delaware just give your eyes a little bit of a break where you're paying attention, but it's not the same demands as being on 50 or being on the Beltway?
Yes. The little towns, the little towns where you're going 25 miles an hour because there's speed traps.
Don't go 26.
