What did Tony Kornheiser share about the Captain's birthday dinner?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk to Al Michaels about the Knicks, the World Cup, horse racing, the NFL, and we will preview the U.S. Open at Chinnock with Doug Ferguson. But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornhauser Show. They've got me here for free, and I am willing to write, and I believe that I write well. And it's like, okay, you're paying some of these people, but you've got a hungry college kid in Spike Braun that's coming for those jobs soon enough. But yeah, they've only got us doing the group stage.
This is the most important question. Do you have an expense account? Can you eat for free?
This is General George Washington, and you're listening to the Tony Kornheiser Show. What a delight to have him on.
What a delight to know that he's making progress in a profession that is dying, but a profession that I respect tremendously. Sure. How about that confidence? Yeah, it's very confident.
I spoke with the parents after that, and they were both just absolutely thrilled. Ken and Gary say yes.
That's great. Okay, so you're saying to yourself, wait, it's Tuesday. Why is there a podcast on Tuesday? There's never a podcast on Tuesday. There are a lot of reasons to have a podcast on Tuesday. But the main reason, honestly, is that we have Al Michaels on the show today. We taped Al Michaels last night. Didn't want to hold it. for an extra day, you know, I mean, you get Al Michaels, you put him on. Now, you can't get him at 4.30 in the morning his time. That's not reasonable. But you can get him at, you know, 3.30 in the afternoon his time, which is what we did yesterday. Post-golf pre-dinner. Hmm? Post-golf pre-dinner. That's right. He has not yet gone to Tuscana to go to dinner, and he's out of Bel Air.
He's played. He's played. You know the Al Michaels thing with caddies and speed of the putt?
No, but usually in LA, they do it by percent. So they don't say just get it halfway. They'll go, this is a 60%.
60% of what? Yes. So he asks them, he asks caddies to, if let's say it's 4%, 4%, like you just have to breathe on the ball. Yeah. The caddie will say Brett Favre. Because Favre wore number four. If it's 60% or 61%, you know, if it's 51%. You need the right caddie for that. Yeah, you got to have the right caddie. Deep roster. If it's a halfway putt, Dick Butkus, he wore 51. And that's how Al does it. All right. So there's a lot of small things I want to talk about here. And to begin with, it was the captain's birthday yesterday. Got a shout out. Got a shout out on the air with his real name, the captain. No, it's Reed. Baby Reed's no longer a baby. You made, he's still the baby to me. Don't put baby in the corner.
Nobody puts baby in the corner. You made BLTs last night on focaccia bread that you made yourself. That was the best sandwich ever. So what's amazing, it's no turkey club for you.
What's amazing is as your kids get older, you start to have these just traditions that creep up. So there's the birthday chair, everyone gets their balloons, you get to choose the treat. And we've started to do that you choose your birthday dinner. So for the last couple weeks, baby boy Reed has been asking for focaccia, which I make from the sourdough starter that Liz gave me years ago. So it's great because it's a multi-day process.
Why are there no World Cup matches in Washington, D.C.?
I'm sending her pictures. And he also wants a side of bacon. So for the adults, we get a BLT for him. He gets bacon and focaccia.
That was great. It was absolutely great.
We're getting some early season tomatoes. It was awesome.
A little pesto. One of the other things I thought of, and this is sort of a random open, and I'm not going to go into soccer. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to just go on and on about how soccer fans are the Subarus of sports. I'm not going to do it.
Are you going to do your early power rankings for the next season for the NBA?
No, I'm not going to do that, but I am going to say this. It's ridiculous. that the capital of the United States of America is not hosting at least a group stage. Yeah. This is ridiculous. How did that happen? How did it happen that every other country in the world has its final in the capital?
