What recent sports events are discussed at the start of the episode?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will preview the PGA Championship with Doug Ferguson, and we'll chat with Ron Flatter to see how he thinks the Preakness will play out. But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornhauser Show.
Now, the other side of Bobby, the ones that when he went into the Hall of Fame, the players talked about, you know, he never uttered a negative quote about his players. Tony, as you know, he got thrown out of 162 games. Yeah, the most ever. 41 more than any other man.
I would have figured Earl. I would have figured Earl had that one locked up.
This is General George Washington, and you're listening to The Tony Kornheiser Show.
All right, let me bring people up to date on sports news. Nats won last night. At least they were winning when I said I'm done. They're winning 7-2. Did they win? Yeah, they did. Okay. Big fifth inning for us in the car. Yeah, Nats in Cincinnati. Got home runs. Two home runs each from Daylon Lyle and from Luis Garcia. Yes. Two each. That's nice. They haven't had... Home runs like that all year.
They don't hit home runs. May I pause for just one moment? What I love about baseball is in the last two weeks, I've been driving a car, listening to the sounds of baseball on the radio. And I look back and I see my boy asking me, what's going on in the game? What inning? Who's up to bat? And again, same experience with my dad in the front seat. Where are we? We're resetting. Base is loaded. Bottom of the fourth. They give up one. There's an error. And all of a sudden... Yags and Charlie. Luis Garcia home run to open up the top of the fifth.
And it was just, made me smile driving home. That's great. That's great. I was watching a lot of it. You know, the Nats, they're in Cincinnati is above 500. The Nats are below 500. That's a good win.
What is the significance of Craig Morton's passing in sports history?
It is. That's a very good win. In more Wilbonian sports, San Antonio Spurs continued the trend in the NBA playoffs of routes, just routes. They win by 30. They were at home. Wemba Nyama was back. He wasn't suspended and shouldn't be suspended. He was thrown out of game four and they lost. You don't give them another game after that. I mean, he was thrown out in the second quarter. Come on. 126-97. So that's 29 points. Yeah.
It's a route.
Very well rested. Yeah, it's a route. He's a great player and that's a route. We'll see what happens down the road. But I'm sure if you watch PTI today, we'll do nine stories on it because Mike loves that. That's what we do. All right. A follow-up on Peacock. I wrote to my friend. Friend is probably the wrong word. I wrote to somebody at Peacock who has been kind enough to sort of guide me through my cable situation. Even though he always says, get rid of your cable boxes. You're paying $30 a month for nothing. Get rid of them. And I don't even know how to get rid of them. I don't even know what they are. I'll drop them off at the store for you. And get you a new clicker. I don't even know what they are. So, yeah, let's do that.
Get rid of them. That's fine.
When you deal with a TV person like this, is it like when you're dealing with a pilot where you apologize in advance?
Yes. I say, thank you for taking my call. You're making a mistake. Because I will stick to you like a barnacle on the side of a boat. Anyway, he said, because I wrote a note that said... I couldn't get Peacock. I'm paying $327 a month. How come I don't get Peacock? And he said, you do get Peacock, but it's tricky to sign in. Well, nobody gives me a primer as to how to sign in. I don't know how to sign in. They cashed my check for $327, but nobody writes me a note that says, this is how you sign in. And he said, I could get somebody to go through it with you as to how you sign in, but the horse is out of the barn. How many more games are they going to have on Peacock? Although I'd like to know how to get on Peacock.
Yeah. If I ever need Peacock. I've lost NBA games to Peacock. Sure. So I'd like to know. So, but I, you know, and anyway, so I apparently have it. Would you like to tell your goose gosling story? Would you like to tell the story that you told last night at dinner?
