What updates does Tony provide on the potato crop?
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. The potatoes that are in the pantry are not labeled. I would have thought that everything was organic just by definition.
I think you leave the potatoes alone.
What are the latest developments in the Nats game and other sports?
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.
That doesn't mean anything! The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. We have potato conflict here.
We're not all aligned. Nigel's moving in my territory. Number one son.
Why don't you explain what you found?
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.
Why are the Orioles struggling this season?
So I've never heard of that. So I walked in.
The hardware store? I've heard of a hardware store. I've never heard of seed potatoes.
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.
They got the fancy Kenny Bunkport ones.
Yes. And then when I opened them up.
So we were ready to go. Memorial Day. We're ready to plant.
Well, yes.
What proposal is being discussed regarding college football playoffs?
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.
Well, if they are seed potatoes, will they produce more seed potatoes or regular potatoes?
Regular potatoes.
Yeah, we think regular potatoes.
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.
So we're ready to go.
I think so. Let's hope they have disease.
And the other potatoes that we have that are up...
How did the sudden passing of Kyle Busch impact the discussion?
in a cool, dark, dry place, we can eat them as potatoes. Yeah, make a nice little gratin. You can have potatoes.
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.
We're ready to go. Like when you went to the Palm and didn't invite us?
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.
Last night.
On Wednesday.
But it was fine.
What insights does Jason La Canfora share about the NFL?
It was fine. They ended up playing the whole game. It was fine.
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. I'll be on my back deck with my Comet and Vietnam boonie hat, but front yard, driveway, wherever you want is fine. Join us. So this is all across America. That's lovely. So it's lovely, and And that's what we're going to tell people about.
What challenges are the Knicks facing in the Eastern Conference Finals?
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... confusing death of kyle bush 41 years old i don't know anything about nascar espn had the nascar contract for a few years and they put nascar drivers on with us and some of them were wonderful they really were they were wonderful but i don't know anything about nascar i'm not going to claim to know anything about it he's he was a one of the top drivers i mean obviously one of the top drivers kyle bush
