Tony should get Ryan McGee from ESPN on. He’s got a new book out.

Unlistenable these days
Tony has gone full woke at the behest of his painful son and Gary. It used to be my favorite show to listen to in the car but the mind virus took over the show. It’s sad that these broken souls can’t see the light and remain part of their corrupt DC environment that the country is revolting against.

Not a sports show
It is obvious Tony doesn’t really watch sports looks at the scores and extrapolates. His commentary is stuck in the. The shows East Coast bias also very obvious. I was the fan for years and as of today unsubscribed.

Tony doesn’t have a computer
If you don’t like this show, no one cares. Your lousy opinion is meaningless. The fact that people take time out of their day to leave a negative review for a show they can simply choose not to listen to anymore is an astounding display of their own stupidity. Fonz you

This show stinks!
More than three episodes a week Mr Carson, please?

Was great, now isn’t
Loved the show for nearly 20 years and have now unsubscribed. Hope it was worth replacing the smart, interesting and funny cast with your smug, uninteresting and humorless son. Every now and then I come back here to read reviews, glad to see so many people hate what Tony has allowed his son to do to the show.
AriM,
Michael still bad
Was long time listener, gave up around 2021. Micheal adds nothing. I thought he would get better. I was wrong. Dude stinks.

No so good anymore
Not as good as it used to be. This podcast is well past its prime. This is my last review since as of today I have stopped listening.

This podcast is usually the lead off hitter before listening to anything else. I’m Old enough to remember reading Tony’s columns, and young enough to not understand 90% of Tony’s old man references.

Tony on the Grammys, Tracy Chapman and Fast Car
Brilliant and beautiful, and so well said.

Grammys
I love this show but don’t ever talk about music anymore old man. You very limited on what you know. Stick to sports
Pachinosin
Good
Good show. I do wish Tony would tone down his ego a bit and let Michael and Nigel have the floor more. They are both very interesting and funny.

Who was right…Fauci or Rodgers
Tony, You spend so much time trashing Aaron Rodgers about his personal choice on the COVID vaccine. As a journalist, you should be able to research who was more right, Fauci or Rodgers? Have you read Vinay Prasad, Stanford doctors, and other left wing liberal doctors who agree with Rodgers and say Fauci was wrong on vaccines? Stop personalizing your wrong views on vaccines and injecting feelings into your shoes. No one wants to hear your opinions on a field of study that you know nothing about, especially when your are wrong. I guess we will soon hear you are a supporter of Lia the man Thomas and other men in women sports.

Thank goodness this audio, ‘cause this show stinks but I love it so.
A perfect, commuter podcast, except for Nigel.

Obnoxious person. Horrible broadcaster.

Used to be great….
This has hit new depths; ciliza, Todd, Michael all on same episode! The revolving in studio co -hosts, banter w/ in studio guests, ‘old guy radio’, all those things are gone. Now him and his son…just skip to guests you want to hear and move on. Sadly, the good guests(Ryan, Hornaday, ) hardly come on anymore

So does Edith just stop by for bagels?
So Cillizza just stops by, says three things, gets no segment, and leaves with a bagel sandy for his trouble? Am I the only one who finds this odd? Bring back some of the old crew and the old guy radio segment every once and awhile! Pretty sure we all want to hear from them.

A little out west....
The old pod with all the in studio “co-hosts” was the best…a definite 5 star. Seems covid made for the change and believe me I was grateful for the pod during that time. I was hoping for a return to the old ways once we were “clear” of Covid. Regardless this show stinks and it is one of my go to pods to listen to on my walks, plane rides, long car rides etc. my TK sticker is still on my car…a little in central texas👍🏼

Two guys named Mike
Absolutely my favorite podcast, but Tony always portrays himself as the grumpy negative old Orangeman when in actuality it’s the two Michaels who take the negative spin on nearly everything ie Big deal Rory hits it 250 with his putter, so what the caddy sinks a downhill 30 footer using an opposite handed putter, it was a left to righter so what’s the big deal and Tony doesn’t get my obscure reference about the hole[ which by the way no one else got either, and Wilbon is only cares about the NBA and hobnobbing with the rich and famous at the vineyard with his good friends Barack and Magic,could you name drop a little more? And could one segment go by without another reference to Mathew, most of have kids that we love and are proud of but don’t feel compelled to mention them at every turn. Lose the two Michaels and improve the show tenfold. I don’t see why other reviewers are politicizing this pod when politics so rarely come up. They complain of left bias yet I’ve heard Tony defend Trump and say he’d support him. Also who is more conservative than rich country club boys like Tony and his annoying son

One of My Favorites
I have liked this podcast for years. I love the guests, but I do find Michael K and all the golf talk brutal to listen to. I don't mind discussing the PGA tour, but I cannot take these 10 minute golf stories at the local club. Still always like the guests and listener emails and the very good music.

3 Stars Despite Bias
For 30 years have enjoyed Tony’s ability to riff on a subject of (his) interest. Enjoy still today despite his age, Northeastern, DC, and left leaning biases. Understand all that and factor into my listening experience. Lowered my rating due to your opining on basketball and hockey teams leaving DC. Had to do some digging to find out that the current arena area has become crime ridden with car jacking and muggings way up. Owner has complained to city and nothing done by city. So he wants to move. Seems like a salient point that a “reporter” might bring up during opine, or negate if not true. Christmas wish list: 1) Buy Wilbon a good phone 2) Let Chuck Todd keep doing picks so he never goes back to anything related to news. 3) Promote the monkey (Reginald) 4) Ability to ban people who complain about 7.5 minutes of ads in an hour. If that was only true on network TV or very popular podcasts.

More guests, Mute Michael K
Great podcast. Smart and funny. It could be better with more variety of guests rather than the rut of guests that make picks during football season. Also, Micheal K. ads nothing to the pod. He smugly talks over Tony and makes inside jokes not seeming to understand that we’re listening for pops, not the kid. Go talk about cooking, clothes, and raising your kids on a different pod.

Always Thoughtful and Entertaining
Tony’s self deprecating style and self awareness is the spice to an entertaining show. Keep up the great work…..My bowl picks match Carville’s…I am doomed!!!
Bravo!21
Stop eating and drinking
I know he’s a “legend “ but how about some professionalism , shows becoming unlistenable. So disappointing when it happens.

Misinformation warning
Have Cilizza and Todd ever apologized for their main talking point for 3 years being a made up story by the DNC? Surely they have once at least?
Valvane Jim
Wilbon
Can you a) get him a decent microphone b) have him clear his throat c) have your sound guys filter his voice I just advance his entire segment once he comes on. This should be able to get fixed….no other guests have this problem.

Great show....
But way too many ads these days but I guess that’s how it works now.

Connective Tissue
This show has an amazing way of connecting “Littles” all over the country. The friendships that have been created from the smart and funny community of followers of Uncle Tony are amazing. Keep up the great work. This is my favorite thing to listen to right there with PTI and Chuck & Roxy with the Loyal Littles Podcast. LaCheeserie!

Keep your son on!
I’ve had with these smug reviewers who don’t care for Tony’s son appearing on his podcast. I think it’s great that they have this relationship that gives insight into their family relationship, including Chessie! I enjoy his regular guests and semi-regulars. I guess because I’m an avid golfer, dog lover, Washington area resident, and have read Tony the sports reporter for years during his time with the Washington Post I feel very connected to this podcast.

Mediocre
All AM sports are local in nature. I get that. This show is just that but with an annoying son with nothing to add. It is a better show when guests are on who can opine on many things not necessarily sports related. I will tune in on occasion but not that much anymore. The show has gone downhill in substance lately. I have many other options to listen to.

Michael
I finally figured out what Michael would be doing if his last name wasn’t Kornheiser. Assistant manager at Whole Foods. After more than twenty years, I’m done. It was a fun ride, but all things must end. Thanks for many years of entertainment, Tony.

Cozy Coupe!

More Tony, Less Michael
I would enjoy hearing less Michael and more Tony.
Sr Galletas
Good and entertaining
This used to be a five star show when they had co-hosts and less of his son and less golf. The other co-hosts allowed Tony to bounce stuff off them and created a wonderful dynamic that just does not exist any longer. Michael is a really nice guy in person, but not my cup of tea on air. That said, it's still a great show when Tony is telling stories, which he is GREAT at, and talking with the call-in guests. Always enjoy Nigel.

Used to really enjoy it
I have to agree with those who say Micheal K is annoying. Tired of hearing him constantly speak over top of Tony. Also miss the in studio guests they used to have. Simply put, this is not the same show I used to enjoy listening to.

Too many ads!
The Friday, October 13 show had 7 1/2 minutes of commercials in a 1 hour, 3 minute podcast.

Updated (3/21) - Long time, First time (w Covid considerations)
Update - resubscribed but the Michael K. issue (ie, him talking on the show) persists. I’ve come to terms with the fact that Tony’s going to do everything he can to provide his kid an opportunity and platform. Fine, but I’ve developed a system around this. If MK speaks at any length during the open/first 5 mins, i know it’ll one of “those” eps and I skip it. *** As much as it pains this long-time Mr. Tony fan, I’ve unsubscribed to the pod. While I completely understand a Dad’s urge to do what’s best by his children and to provide them every opportunity he can, I am in agreement with so many of my fellow listeners. The featuring of Michael K. and his particular point of view have made this pod virtually unlistenable. I will check-in periodically and plan to continue my daily listen when/if he regular cast of characters make their return. Until then, best to you Mr. T...and eat it, Cillizza. —— I'm a 12+ year Tony listener. I love his fun, sometimes irreverent take on sports, politics and culture. In normal times this is a 5+ star show and daily listen; however, these are not normal times. Obvious and necessary sacrifices have been made - everybody understands that. My only criticism, with consideration to these obvious and necessary sacrifices, is the amount of time Michael is given on the show. I am of the same mind as many other recent reviews - avoiding the sorta privileged, ivy league, Millennial take on things cultural and sport is *exactly* why I (and others, it sounds) have tuned into Tony for so long. I can appreciate why Tony (or any father, for that matter) would want to have their son involved a project or business, but in this case I think that involvement should return below the line, when "normal" production is possible. Again, the Tony show is an everyday/5-star listen; the Tony/Michael show is not.

Jerzyxplorer Hey. Great I love Jason. He's just great. Its funny how people can say what they want about a coaching staff but a Qb cant say the truth about his struggles because old crusty folks think we should live in the past. But it takes folks like Jason to say oh yeah coaching is bad. They are clueless. It was hilariously funny. Keep it up. Dr Grandpa

My God, Nigel
I loved the old format of the show with multiple people in studio. While I can do without Michael’s smug attitude, I do like when Tony has someone to bounce banter off of during the show. I CANNOT stand Nigel’s incessant, loud cackling. Nothing on earth is so funny that it calls for the constant raucous clucking that this man does. Dude, relax. You got the job. No need for the constant fake laughter.

Whine,Whine,Whine
How much whining can this guy do ? An insurance company denies his MRI claim let’s whine about that. Can not reach a human on the phone to complain about the service he didn’t receive let’s whine about that. His leg bothers him let’s whine about that. Ice cream is to expensive another opportunity to whine This show should be called Tony’s Whine Machine .

Too much Michael
Been listening for years. I’m sure Michael is a lovely person and it’s obvious he’s extremely intelligent, but his on-air personality is weak at best. Less from Michael, please.
