What tournament did Tony play in over the weekend?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk with Michael Wilbon about the Knicks winning their first title in over 50 years. We'll also talk to Spike Braun, who's covering the World Cup for USA Today. Let me say that again. Who's covering the World Cup for USA Today? But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show.
When you look at Knicks games on TV every once in a while, when you look at this series and you see all the celebrities around the court, do you ever think, well, I'd like to meet that guy or I'd like to meet this guy? And do you ever think, boy, I couldn't even get in the front three rows. They'd put me in like eight or nine or ten.
What updates does Tony provide about the Nats and their recent games?
I'm not as big as these guys. Do you think that?
I'm not even sure I can get into the 100 section, Tony. I mean, with this. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
Okay, so we have a lot to talk about. And the first thing we have to talk about is an update on the lack of power. We had no power the last show we did on Friday. So we moved out of this house. We went to Michael's house. And now we're back in this house. But rather... What? Darkness visible.
Sorry. Can I see the emails?
There's a great email about this. Show me that. But Sean has to be, you know, we're leaning on Sean. Sean has to be part of this because, Sean, what is it? Did something get burned out when the power went off? We're not sure.
Nigel and I will do some testing later and determine if something got burned out or not.
But there's a possibility that it has been burned out. Oh, here's Nigelist handing me an email from Mike in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Los Alamos is where they built the bomb. Yes, in Los Alamos. You're doing the show from Michael's? Ain't you got no electricity in your house? You must feel pretty dejected, Tony. Dejected? That's funny, Mike Mount. That's very funny. I appreciate that.
My favorite part was Liz just coming in from the kitchen every segment or two just to add her commentary.
What does Michael Wilbon say about the Knicks' championship win?
A lot of thoughts in the emails. It was wonderful.
So we'll see what happens. The professor.
We'll see what happens. We have a couple of things that we have to talk about right off the top. One is the father-son tournament at Columbia. Michael and I and the baby boy Bootsy, the oldest one. Three generations. Three generations. We played, and it was so nice. I think it was Sam Neal who said it first, how great it was to see three generations like that.
So I got it from Sam and from our good friend Colin St. Maxens. They sent out the tee sheet.
How did Spike Braun cover the World Cup for USA Today?
Colin won. In a playoff. He chipped in on 15 from 40 yards.
Colin won.
Colin and Tom won. And they always wore matching outfits.
Love it. Yes, Colin Thompson-Maxim.
But they send out the T-sheet, and both of them just text me that they're so happy that Bootsy's getting out on the course.
Yeah, so I think that was really good. I want to thank Steve Delmar, the head pro at Columbia, for allowing that to happen, not worrying about whether or not we would hold people up. It was a very slow day, so we didn't hold anybody up. And you should explain your strategy. With Bootsy, after a tee shot, what would you do?
So I think every parent who is introducing the game to their kid knows about this. First one, you want to make sure that they have clubs that they can swing because back in the day we just used old cut-down clubs. But you want to make sure they're playing appropriate tees. So a lot of courses put up family tees. This is a bigger tournament, so we're not necessarily putting the tees down the fairway. And I want to make him feel like he's actually playing tees. the course so I have him tee off with you but I make sure that I bring him to the fairway he's hitting off of a tee or I give him a good lie in the rough so I made sure that was okay with the professional shot we're all playing off of one card but you want to actually make sure the kid can play the golf course and unfortunately Columbia is an incredibly hilly course even more so when you start to play the forward tee so sometimes it's good to get out of our own little silo of where we play whether it's the backs whether it's the middle tees
