Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Doug Ferguson or the AP, who's at Pebble Beach covering the pro.

And we'll talk to Jeff Passon about what's on his radar as the baseball season rapidly approaches, thank God. But first, commerce.

Previously on the Tony Cornheiser show.

I have not had any hearing in my right ear since I took the plane ride from Florida. You have to pop the ears. To wash it. How do you do that? You squeeze your nose and you try and breathe through. Right. I tried that. It didn't work. Do you have a golf tea? I'm not sticking a golf tea in my ear. Somebody at the show the other day said, take a hair dryer and blast a hair dryer

into your ear and it'll melt whatever wax is in there. And then when we were done and he had

left the room, another person came up to me and said, don't do that. What are you nuts?

The Tony Cornizer show is on now.

So I got a note from my neighbor at the beach, David, who said, take a shower, let the hot water run into your ear, your bad ear.

Make it swimmer's ear.

Shake it around a little bit.

Do that twice and then go after it with a cue tip.ip. And I did that and didn't help. Now, I have to say, I'm about 30- You try the blow dryer? No, I'm not doing that. I'm about 30 to 40% better. So maybe in time, it's going to get better. But it's not, I was hoping for an instantaneous pop. Are you better or are you just getting used to it? Well, that I don't know. That's a very good question. And the subtlety of that, I just don't know. Maybe I'm just getting used to it. I don't know. So, anyway, I... That's not like you were hearing particularly well before. No, I can't hear and I can't see. I'm old.

And I can't even think. And I don't know why I'm doing these shows because I don't even, I lose

myself right in the middle of them all the time. We got a lovely new pair of boots, right? Do you want to

explain the story? So yes, we have a friend of the show, Ross Weber, who has worked in various men's shoes companies over the years,

and he's always tried to send you a pair of boots when appropriate.

And he listened to the story about your return from Florida, and he's at a company called Pajar.

We had to look up the pronunciation.

We spent about five good minutes on who's on first of Pajar. Pajar. Pajar. Pajar. Pajar. No, Pajar. They're lovely boots. These are rated to minus 22 degrees, which I think are... What does that mean? Basically, I think you're 30 degrees in D.C. is going to be fine. You're going to be more. No, no. Let me explain what's going on with these boots. They're lovely boots. They have a zipper on one side. They have a complicated, um, shoelace circumstance that I've managed to master. They feel very good when I walk. you can tie your shoes. You can tie your shoes. I can tie my shoes without a golf glove,

not with a golf glove. I have a problem. Maybe you can come help our boys with that. You know, so I could

do to teach them how to tie their shoes. I could. Go around the tree. So I... Loop and swoop and

I'm walking the dog and, you know, we are in a situation where, and these boots are great, and they have spikes that come out

to help you in the ice.
