Tony's Take

After many weeks off, finally we have reached Episode 177. And what a way to return. Baseball is back for real and basketball is not too far behind. Before talking any 2020 MLB season action we go through some of the biggest offseason transactions that happened so long ago now that most people have likely forgotten. We then discuss the latest news from the NBA bubble and wonder how well this whole thing is really going to work.

Welcome to The Tony's Take Podcast, episode 176 Entertainment. On today's podcast we discuss the Apple updates to IOS and Apple Watch. We also have some news on Chris D'Elia, is he cancelled? Should he be? We have more movie news and updates and end with what we've been watching, along with our review of the Netflix movie, The Last Days of American Crime. Hint, it was a disaster.

On this week's sports podcast we have some very breaking and very positive news. Baseball will be coming back. 60 games over 66 wonderful summer days starting July 24th (or 23rd). We discuss what the effects of the shortened season will be before getting into some updates from other sports. We talk NASCAR for maybe the first time but not for the right reasons and then about how the increase in Coronavirus cases will affect the NBA's planned return.

Sorry for the abrupt end to this episode. We lost the last couple minutes. You didn't miss much.

Welcome to The Tony's Take Podcast, episode 175 Entertainment. On today's podcast we get into Oscar updates as well as the Emmy's. Disneyland has a reopening date set, for now...

We get into the consolation bracket of best actors of the 2010's, the NIT list if you will. We will crown the 17th best actor of the 2010's soon!

After last week's encouraging news for sports fans we don't have much positive to report. Kyrie Irving has come out against the NBA's Orlando return and he's not alone. It looks like the July return of basketball is less likely than it seemed just last week. But will LeBron convince everyone to come back? Baseball looks even more hopeless than the NBA with the commissioner even voicing his doubts. But there is soccer to talk about and we do that.

Welcome to the Tony's Take Podcast, episode 174 Entertainment. On today's podcast we get into more protest talk; looks like the riots are calming down. We have updated Coronavirus info, including what's opening back up in California this week. We get into the Best Actor of the 2010's and are down to the final two. Who's better, Christian Bale or Leonardo DiCaprio? We give our take on it!

We close things off with what we've been watching followed up with our discussion of our Netflix movie recommendation of the week, A Ghost Story. This next week's movie is Spike Lee's, Da 5 Bloods.

Sports aren't back yet but there's finally a plan now. At least for the NBA. We get into all the details of the NBA's return on July 31st. We go over what teams will be participating, what players won't be, and who are the favorites in this new format. We also talk about the still potential returns of the NHL and MLB before discussing the unfortunate murder of former NFL receiver Reche Caldwell and why we have to talk about the deaths of so many former athletes.

Welcome to the Tony's Take podcast, episode 173 Entertainment. We've got a lot of show today for you. We can't ignore what's happening in our country so we start things off with the riots and protests and work our way over to Coronavirus, which is still going on.

Then we turn way from the more serious stuff and discuss some movie news, including a big get for Apple TV+, before getting to our final four best actors of the 2010's where we whittle it down to the final two. We get into some side story, as we always do, and close with what we're watching. You won't want to miss this one!

Sports isn't fully back but we still have things to talk about on Episode 172. There was a golf match with Tiger and Phil but it was too bad Tom Brady was there to ruin it. The NBA and NHL have plans to start back up. Will we ever see it though. And one last not about Jordan, the Bulls, and The Last Dance. If they came back for another season, would they have beaten the Spurs and won their 7th title?
