“I got a horse right here”

In this episode of The Tony Kornheiser Show, Tony reflects on a week filled with sports drama, personal regrets, and absurdly entertaining tangents. He opens with a lament about missing the Nationals game and expresses skepticism about the NBA's play-in games, rooting for Charlotte and Golden State while questioning the ethics of LaMelo Ball playing after a flagrant foul. He then dives into a deeply personal story: his near-invitation to Augusta National, which he declined in favor of covering the European Championship final—now a lifelong regret. The conversation shifts to soccer with guest Taylor Twelman, who shares his deep connection to Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, while also revealing the team's recent coaching instability despite their on-field success. Later, Ron Flatter joins to discuss the upcoming Kentucky Derby, focusing on the rumored horse named Le Chisery, a name being championed by trainer Kenny McPeak. The episode is peppered with listener emails, including one from a fan eager to co-own the horse, and a touching story from a gallery guard at Augusta who finally got to say 'Le Chisery' to a fan. The show closes with a whimsical jingle contest and a celebration of niche fandoms, from hockey underdogs to butter cake on Amtrak.
