| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk to Jason Lock and Four about John Harbaugh moving to the New York Giants. Also about what he expects to see in the playoff games this weekend, plus James Carville and Jeff Ma will call in with their weekly picks. But first, let's do some commerce. Previously on the Tony Cornheiser show. You know, I think His Holiness cares a lot more about the White Sox, I do. |
| 0:23.6 | White Sox fan is a lot of the Pope as American sports fan. |
| 0:27.3 | You know, there's a lot of weird stuff happened in 2025. |
| 0:30.0 | That's the best story of 2025 for me. |
| 0:32.1 | I love this guy. |
| 0:33.1 | I love his obsession with baseball. |
| 0:36.7 | Every time he interacts on sports, it makes me smile. |
| 0:40.1 | We've got the Pope. |
| 0:41.5 | We've got the Pope caring about football. |
| 0:44.1 | Take who that, Rome. |
| 0:48.4 | The Tony Cornizer show is on now. |
| 0:51.9 | We are reunited the three of us in the studio today. I'm back. Michael was |
| 0:56.5 | gone. Michael had jury duty. Do you want to tell us how it went? Sure. So for those of you who do not |
| 1:02.3 | live in the DC area, you get called for jury duty here about every two years. You get the notice |
| 1:08.1 | about two months in advance, and then the week of you get another reminder. |
| 1:11.7 | Then the night before, you call in. And I would say half the time that this has happened to me, I get the automated message that you're, you know, you were not required to show up. And then sometimes you are, and you have to report by 8 a.m. And you sort of sit in a big room with a couple of hundred other people, and then they call various jury potential |
| 1:28.0 | pools to go into a courtroom to go through the voir dire process. This only happened to me one time |
| 1:33.1 | before. Up to this point, I was one for one being called into the process and actually ending up |
| 1:37.3 | on a jury. This one, you know, you end up answering, I think it's about 15 questions that the judge |
| 1:42.6 | puts before you about your, you know, relationship to the case, any of the lawyers who might be in attendance, any of the witnesses who might be called, the judge, you know, him or herself, and, you know, your relationship to some of the, some of the beliefs that might come up along the way. So I end up being called to the bench. And something that has changed. And the DC courthouse is much more modern than I remember. It's a very nice waiting room now. But you get called up to the bench and they have this electronic buzzing noise. And it's so jarring. That is to keep you your words from being heard by everyone. Correct. |
| 2:17.7 | Because, you know, you're trying to create this, you know, you want to create a deliberate a panel that has, you know, that is going to be as impartial as possible. So this is supposed to be something between just you and the lawyer's present and, you know, the defendant in this case. But it's, it's hard to think. you hear this when other people are going up |
