What headlines does Tony open the show with and why does he mention a heatwave and classic comedies?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will start things off by talking with Taylor Twelman about the World Cup, and then we'll talk to Brian Windhorst about the start of free agency in the NBA and how it affects LeBron, and then we'll go across the pond to talk about Wimbledon with Chris Clary. Big show, but first, commerce. Previously on the Tony Kornhauser Show. And one guy says to me, well, what are you doing here? And I go, you know, I'm visiting some friends in Lido. I used to live here. So he recognized you from Newsday? No, not exactly. No, because he was about 22 years old, and Newsday was way further back in the rear view. And he said, what are you doing? And I told him that. And he goes, no, no, what I mean is, why are you playing this place?
I said, what do you want me to do? You want me to play Shinnecock? I'm here. This is what I want to play. I'm not that good.
This is General George Washington, and you're listening to The Tony Kornheiser Show.
On that very theme, we got a very nice note from Steve Bianco in Long Beach. He said, and the Laurel Diner have stood the test of time. Glad you got to play Lido again, just sorry you had to experience it under the current conditions. The town of Hempstead has really let it deteriorate over the last few years. They claim they're going to make improvements, but as this is an election year, we remain skeptical. Such a shame, as it is such a beautiful place. Just love the signature 16th hole. Par 5 hit over water twice. I parted that hole. Yes, you did. I parted that hole. Thanks again for the years of great fun. And tell Lil Malin to eat it. Okay. Steve Bianco in Long Beach. What was the pizza order? Just pizza regular?
Just regular pizza from Gino's, the best pizza in the world. Not New York style pizza. By definition. No, it's Gino's. Just stop. Just stop. Okay, so we are about to, in the Washington, D.C. area, enter a long heat wave, last four to five days, bright sun, literal temperatures over 100. Literal temperatures, not heat index, not field life. And no relief overnight. Right. No relief overnight. No, be in the 80s in the morning. Get that heat done. Be in the 80s. I worry about my dog. I worry about Chessie, a long-haired dog. I worry about her in this. I worry about her walking on the pavement. I want to make sure that she's walked as much on the grass as possible, which will not be as harmful to her.
Yeah, reminder, different surfaces maintain heat in different ways. If you walk on some of those paving stones, they're going to be a lot hotter.
Yes, you don't want to do that. You want to get in grass if you can. And I'm worried about me. I intend to go out and play golf tomorrow morning if I can. I intend to go play golf on Saturday on July 4th. I'm old, and this heat is sapping, and so I've said to Michael, just try to make sure I don't die. Get me off the course. Pay attention to your body. Notice if your heart rate starts to change. Oh, yeah, I wouldn't. I don't know.
Lots and lots of water.
Yeah, but I mean, then you drink too much water and you get bloated and you get sick. I don't want to drink too much water. But I also don't want to stand there and say I'm a tough guy because I'm not a tough guy. And it's going to be over 100 degrees. I know Wilbon says that's nothing because it's dry heat in North Scottsdale. North Scottsdale. Well, I guess if you put a chicken on the driveway, it wouldn't cook in two hours.
Have you ever tried any of the UV umbrellas that will cool down the immediate area where you are in the golf course?
No, I've never seen. I've never held one in my hand. Yeah. So maybe we'll get one of them. I don't know. I'm going to try tomorrow and see what happens, if it's really bad. Well, you get a cart. Yes. Yes, you got to have a cart. Get a little airflow. Drive around a little bit. Kick the front leg out. So let me get to the Nats, because two things happened to me yesterday that happen all the time. Um, I got no mail from Michael yesterday. I got a little bit of mail from Chris. I got more from Chuck. These are texts. I know.
