The Tony Kornheiser Show

“The great potato schism”

22 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What updates does Tony provide on the potato crop?

0.031 - 25.96 Tony Kornheiser

Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll go around the NFL and the Baltimore Orioles with Jason LaConfora. He's down on the Orioles. And we'll talk to Pat Forty about the Big Ten lobbying to have 24 teams in the college football playoffs. But first, commerce. Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. The dispute is there is some reason to believe the potatoes have to be organic potatoes.

0

26.44 - 32.411 Tony Kornheiser

The potatoes that are in the pantry are not labeled. I would have thought that everything was organic just by definition.

0

32.431 - 33.653 Unknown

I think you leave the potatoes alone.

0

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in the Nats game and other sports?

33.673 - 41.907 Unknown

They'll sprout. Okay, well, that's what we're doing. Don't you think we should put them in a brown paper bag? I'd put a brown paper bag next to them, which I think is good enough.

0

41.927 - 50.547 Tony Kornheiser

That doesn't mean anything! The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. We have potato conflict here.

0

50.647 - 57.039 Unknown

We're not all aligned. Nigel's moving in my territory. Number one son.

0

57.279 - 60.345 Tony Kornheiser

Why don't you explain what you found?

0

60.983 - 75.224 Pat Forde

Well, we wanted to maybe get some different potatoes late last week or early this week. And so I was going to check that out. And I was talking with my mom, who's a big gardener, and she said, we should try seed potatoes. You can get them at the hardware store.

Chapter 3: Why are the Orioles struggling this season?

75.805 - 78.549 Pat Forde

So I've never heard of that. So I walked in.

0

78.829 - 81.793 Tony Kornheiser

The hardware store? I've heard of a hardware store. I've never heard of seed potatoes.

0

82.013 - 88.08 Pat Forde

I didn't even have to ask a worker, man. They were just right up front, four or five boxes of different kinds. I said, oh, well, that was easy.

0

88.14 - 89.762 Unknown

They got the fancy Kenny Bunkport ones.

0

89.902 - 91.504 Pat Forde

Yes. And then when I opened them up.

91.524 - 93.887 Unknown

So we were ready to go. Memorial Day. We're ready to plant.

94.027 - 94.587 Pat Forde

Well, yes.

Chapter 4: What proposal is being discussed regarding college football playoffs?

94.607 - 107.562 Pat Forde

But first I thought, well, these ones still say you have to put them like on a shelf with sunlight until the eyes sprout. Then you opened. I opened them just to check out and see what they look like. And all they've sprouted magnificently, all of them. So I think they're ready.

0

107.542 - 115.458 Tony Kornheiser

Well, if they are seed potatoes, will they produce more seed potatoes or regular potatoes?

0

115.598 - 116.38 Unknown

Regular potatoes.

0

116.4 - 117.702 Pat Forde

Yeah, we think regular potatoes.

0

117.923 - 123.995 Unknown

So then we're ready to go. I think this just means they will produce the eye. They will be ready to go on the ground.

124.115 - 125.157 Tony Kornheiser

So we're ready to go.

125.177 - 126.42 Unknown

I think so. Let's hope they have disease.

126.48 - 130.107 Tony Kornheiser

And the other potatoes that we have that are up...

Chapter 5: How did the sudden passing of Kyle Busch impact the discussion?

130.087 - 138.095 Tony Kornheiser

in a cool, dark, dry place, we can eat them as potatoes. Yeah, make a nice little gratin. You can have potatoes.

0

138.215 - 144.32 Pat Forde

There you go. So that's... Now we're just waiting on decent weather to get out there. We're ready to go. Oh, yeah.

0

144.34 - 146.402 Unknown

We're ready to go. Like when you went to the Palm and didn't invite us?

0

147.644 - 153.509 Pat Forde

Yeah. Well, it was the last second plan. I didn't think you guys... We thought we were going to go to the Nats game, but the weather sort of scared us away.

153.689 - 154.19 Tony Kornheiser

Last night.

154.31 - 154.83 Pat Forde

On Wednesday.

155.191 - 156.332 Tony Kornheiser

But it was fine.

Chapter 6: What insights does Jason La Canfora share about the NFL?

156.412 - 158.794 Pat Forde

It was fine. They ended up playing the whole game. It was fine.

159.044 - 178.791 Tony Kornheiser

From Steve the Sick of Fan, Memorial Day is Monday, and I ask all littles who play a musical instrument to participate in Taps Across America. Just hit the Google machine for detailed info, and if you want to register, it's simple. At 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, you play Taps. You don't have to be a trumpeter. Any instrument will do.

178.851 - 190.806 Tony Kornheiser

Chapter 7: What challenges are the Knicks facing in the Eastern Conference Finals?

190.826 - 217.232 Tony Kornheiser

Also, in terms of Steve the Sick fan being a friend of the show, Jolene Wojcik, a friend of the show. Her retirement party was Wednesday and her last day was Thursday. And so her friend Sandra Rohde says congrats, Jolene, who's been great to us over the years with the Masters. Yeah, we love Jolene. So we love Jolene. So let me get to a few things here. I've got to start with the just sudden and...

218.275 - 243.321 Tony Kornheiser

0

244.432 - 269.443 Tony Kornheiser

41 years old to have been hospitalized with a, you know, they say a sudden severe illness. I don't know what it was. Eventually we're going to know, but do you have to know what's the point? Yeah. And don't really have to know. So this is a, you know, you don't ever expect this at this age in the middle of somebody's career. I mean, not to be too morbid, but you expect car racers to go in a car.

Chapter 8: What interesting legal case involving Texas Tech is discussed?

270.245 - 299.305 Tony Kornheiser

Like in that terrible moment of some terrible crash like Dale Earnhardt or something like that. And if not... They live to be 100, like Richard Petty. Right. He's 100 years old, right? Right? Still with us, Richard Petty. So sad. I can't speak to it in any way that's going to make any sense. So I just wanted to acknowledge it. Should acknowledge some other things, too. The Nats, of course.

0

300.127 - 325.632 Tony Kornheiser

The Nats played yesterday in the last game of a homestand and the last game of a four-game series against the Mets with a constant threat of rain, which never materialized at all. Nats, did they lose? 2-1. It was 2-1 at one point. for much of the game. In the top of the ninth, the Mets put three men on with nobody out, bases loaded, nobody out.

0

326.073 - 340.655 Tony Kornheiser

I turned away at that point because I just, I figured they're going to score three or four runs and then Nats are not going to compete. Do you know what happened in the top of the ninth? They got out of it. So that's great. Yeah. I didn't think that was going to happen. Of course... You got some pitching moves.

0

340.675 - 344.442 Unknown

So your boy Poulin has been sent down for a little bit. Yeah, okay. Peter's back up.

0

344.763 - 346.827 Tony Kornheiser

Was he was back up last night? He was in the game?

346.847 - 346.947 Unknown

Yeah.

347.408 - 369.691 Tony Kornheiser

And he helped? Yes. Because he didn't put the three runs on. The other guy put the three runs on, right? Robalta put the three runs on. And I just said, this is disastrous. Why am I watching this? The Nats had a chance. The Nats had second and third, nobody out in the fifth inning. Second and third, nobody out. The count goes 3-0 to Meade. 3-0. Two called strikes and a swing and a miss.

369.851 - 372.416 Tony Kornheiser

A terrible strikeout. Terrible strikeout.

372.456 - 374.44 Unknown

And the first strike was a ball.
