  Speaker 1: There we go. We got a lot of codes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Later, I got to remove a book from the shelf
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: over here, and then a wall turns around.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I'll be fun.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I have to go over to the head,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the stone head of Benjamin Franklin, and then I just
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: got to move it backwards, and then all of a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: sudden the secret compartment will open up and.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It will give me the codes to show here today.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Very secret.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It's a lot fancy that I thought things were in there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Very secretive around here.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: All right, Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Pollin.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: We welcome you to this Friday edition of Chuck and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Buck in the Morning. Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: kJ RFM and We've got a lot of cool Friday
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: stuff to get to, which will tell you about here
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: in What's on Tap. But we are beginning the show
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: with something that I know has been a big question
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: mark around these here parts, and believe me, it has
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: been for us as well for a few months now.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And so today we are going to give you, finally
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the update on what is going on with our normal
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: co worker Bucky Jacobson today. So I want everybody to
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: stop whatever you're doing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Please listen.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: All of you that have emailed every day wondering what's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: going on, what is happening behind the scenes, Well, we're
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: going to update you on this here today exactly what
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: is going on. So I'm going to just read the statement.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: This is on behalf of Kjar and on behalf of Bucky.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: They worked on this together to sort of make a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: statement on what's going on. So, according to Bucky, my
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: time away for medical reasons gave me an opportunity to
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: reflect on my priorities and how I want to spend
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: this next chapter of my life. After a great deal
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of consideration, I've decided not to return to the daily
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: commitment of the morning show. This wasn't an easy decision
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: because I care deeply about KJAR, the morning show, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the listeners who've been part of this journey. I'm especially
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: grateful to the station for their support and willingness to
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: work through this process with me. We are continuing to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: explore ways I can remain involved with KJAR in a
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: capacity that better fits my life today, and I'm looking
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: forward to seeing where those conversations lead. So that is
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: from Bucky, and that does, for the most part, clarify
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: something that frankly, we've had to sort of keep close
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to the vest.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot that I've known.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Usually I'm the most transparent, pull back the curtain type
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: of person that you're going to meet.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: In this industry.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: But there are rules, company rules, and then there are
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: friendships where you've got to protect certain information on the
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: other end, and then you also have what was a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: meta situation for Bucky as well, and those things can't
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: be discussed. So I know people for the last four
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: months have been looking for answers and wanting answers and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: speculating on all sorts of things. Obviously, this show has
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: been a terrific experience for myself working with Bucky here
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: for what the last nine years. I mean, his son
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: is as old as our show. I mean, all of
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that kind of timed out, and so it's been a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: really good show, really good ride, and certainly we I mean,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I think, all things being equal, we would all like
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to continue with the three of us going forward. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: things change, and obviously we get older and things become
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a little bit more difficult and health stuff, and these
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: hours are not the easiest hours in the world to work.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And so with some time away medical leave, a lot
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of thought I know by Bucky given to exactly what
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: is best for me going forward.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And so there is your decision.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: So yes, there have been a few things that I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: would have loved to have shared that I've known over
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the last few months and haven't really been able to.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And yet we arrive at this conclusion, and I think
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that I feel good about it. I know Bucky feels
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: good about it. I won't speak for Ashley on this,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: but certainly we want what's best for him, and then
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: of course what's best for Kjar as well and for
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the Morning Show. And so this is the decision that
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: has been made, and Bucky will be leaving us on
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: a permanent basis or at least to his role on
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a permanent basis, But there are things being worked on
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes to try to keep him part of
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the show, part of the station. And I'm glad that
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: was included in the state because I'm supposed to stick
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to the statement. The bosses want me to stick to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the statement.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm glad that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Was included because I certainly want to include I've been
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: working hard behind the scenes to create some sort of
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: role for Bucky, not just on this show, but throughout
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the station going forward, So hopefully something.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Can be worked out on that front.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Hopefully he's still part of our family, hopefully still part
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: of the Morning show, but for the last four months,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Bucky has not been and he won't be going forward again.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: So there is your information. Sorry, we had a little
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: be a little bit cloak and dagger about it. I
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: love being upfront with my audience, but as I mentioned,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: there were some things at play here that I just
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: couldn't share with the audience, which never sits well with me.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: But I think you understand now why that couldn't occur.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: But again, Bucky is going to be leaving the Morning show,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: but also trying to figure out a way to still
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: be a part of our.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Show and the station.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: And I will say I feel good about the way
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: that things have worked out because I think this is
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: what's best for Bucky, and I think it's what's best
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: for Bucky's family too. And and I can understand, you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: and having that time away and having the medical things
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: that you're dealing with puts a lot of things into perspective,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and it makes you realize what maybe you want to
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: prioritize in life as well.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And good for him.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I would also say, and I think this
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: needs to be mentioned as well, that I mean, Ashley
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and I have sort of been handed this job of
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you have a three person show, do it with two people,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And so there have been some aspects of the show
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: that I haven't been able to adjust or change because
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: it would have led to too much speculation. Like we
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: have a lot of bits built around Bucky and if
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I would have just I mean, we had to kind
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: of abandon them.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And those are some of my favorite bits that we do.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, beat Bucky and coach Bucky and Judge and all
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: of that sort of thing.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we couldn't do a Green Jacket draft yesterday.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't do a green jacket draft for a
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: golf event for the first time ever yea, since we
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: started doing this show. And so yeah, so there were
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: some things that we have not been able to continue
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: without him. And then also it just felt to me
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: wrong to create things in his stead, in the stead
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: of those bits, because it maybe it may have led
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: to a little bit too much speculation.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And so now we know, now we know we can
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: go forward.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Ashley and I have done our best to try to
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: hold down the fort here and so thank you Ashley
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: for your role in all of that, and I think
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: we've done well. I think we've done a good job
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: in doing that. That said, I only mentioned that for
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: this reason, this is not going to continue full time
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: just Ashley and I.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it's going to change. I don't
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: know who's going to be added.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Frankly, we haven't really been discussed be able to discuss
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it that much until we figured out the Bucky peace
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and all of this. So there will be a change
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: made to the show going forward. We're certainly not ready
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to announce that. I think a lot of conversations are
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: going to have to be held, but yes, we'll be
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: going forward into training camp with just Ashley and I,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: but stay tuned because I do believe we will make
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: some adjustments to the show going forward. But for now,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're kind of used to this at this point,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: four months into it, Ashley and I. We've got you
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: covered until those decisions are made. So, yes, I was
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: planned to be a lot more in order. Is there
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: anything that I left out.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Of that I don't think so.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I think you said it very well. I think the
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: statement you know, took care of most of it for us.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's probably great, great for the
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: audience to finally have an answer, and I know it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: great for us to finally be able to be honest
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: and open right, And feels like if I feel a
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: little bit lighter being able to share this with our audience,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: because you're like you, I don't like to, you know,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: keep quiet about things when people are asking questions. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: if I don't have an answer, I can't give you
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: any answer.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: And I had some information and couldn't share it, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: then there was so much more that I didn't know. Yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and so I'm certainly not going to speculate about anything
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: health wise or job wise or iHeart wise or anything
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: like that. So we were a little bit Ashley and
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I kind of stuck in between. And I'm really kind
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: of scratched my head over listeners who are angry with
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Ashley and I. It's like, we're like working more to
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: try to make the show as good as possible for you.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And you have to remember Bucky is a friend of ours.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly want him to be good, and we're trying
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: our best here.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: It was amazing how they're like, you guys know something
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and you're not. Well, yeah, I knew a little bit,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: but we certainly didn't have all the details. Now we do,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and you're right. It is kind of a weight lifted
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: off to just be able to okay, now we know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Now we can move forward.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Now we can figure out how things we want to
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: piece things together without Bucky as a full time member
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of the show, even though we will be working behind
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: the scenes. I will be working behind the scenes to
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: keep him part of the show in whatever capacity that
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: might be. So, yes, there is the information that you've
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: been waiting for. Will update people throughout the course of
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the show today. I know that Bucky's going to now
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: get a little more active on social media, so because
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: he can. Ye, so you're hear more from him. Now
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: we can actually talk about our rooting interest for him
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: in the home run derby, yes, which we had to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: sort of ignore that story this entire time. So we'll
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: we'll now be able to actually have a rooting Well,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: we got Ryan Healy in there too, though, Bud, So
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I think one of us might have to root for Healing,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: one of us might have to root for Bucky.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I go for the favorite, So I'm going to Healing.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, you can take Bucky.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I just hope neither of them embarrass themselves, because then
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'm going to pretend I don't know them.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: That's really what it comes down to.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: If you're embarrassing, then I'm going to be embarrassed, and
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I don't want that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you embarrass yourself, fine, but if
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that reflects negatively on Ashley or I, well then we've
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: got to draw a line. We've got to separate ourselves
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: from you.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So so yes, we'll be able to do that
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit more now going forward. And then the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: last thing I would just say is just from a
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: personal standpoint that obviously, I mean, it's a huge change.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: You mean, when you have I think back now to
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: my longest professional relationships, you know, co host relationships, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I've had a few. I've worked a few different formats
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: in my life. I've done comedy, I've done music, I've
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: done news, and I've done.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Sports for most of it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: And with the exception of my pal Vince Marada down
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in Arizona, Bucky was my co host longer than anybody
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: else in my career. I mean we were damn near
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: ten years together here on this morning show. What nine
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: years on the morning show together, And so it was
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a really good run. And and I will miss him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad that I'm glad that we you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: last time I saw him to be able to look
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: him in the eye, see how healthy you look, shake
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: his hand, And now that we know how we're moving forward,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: he certainly will be missed. I mean, yeah, we had
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: our differences along the along the way, but for the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: most part, I think we really enjoyed doing the show together. Yes,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and and I certainly have carved out a friendship there
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: that that will remain. And so yes, after four months,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's not like it's some band aid
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that we got to rip off today. I've kind of
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: been able to prepare myself for this moment. So for
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: me at this stage, it's no shed a tear kind
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: of morning. It's more of a I want the best
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: for Bucky, I want the best for the Morning Show.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I want the best for Kjar going forward. And it
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: sounds like all parties have at least come to some
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: agreement on what will make things work best going forward.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I will just say for you and Bucky,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: because I've been on the show for five years and
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: it was fun stepping in, and you guys made it
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: easy to be here and to be a part of it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: And I've had a lot of fun with the three
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: of us, and I'll be interested to see what happens
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: as we move forward. But obviously we wish nothing but
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: the best for Bucky, and I look forward to seeing
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: how he's going to fit in as we move forward.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you're just tuning in again, Bucky's Bucky's healthy,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Bucky's good Bucky. But Bucky has decided that the lifestyle
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: of this show does not quite meet with his priorities
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: at this stage in his career. And we'll read that
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: statement for you again later. But if you're tuning in,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Bucky's fun. But Bucky will no longer continue with us,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: uh here, and we'll have to come up with a
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: new show name as well, because I don't think Chuck.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, as much as I liked working with Bucky,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think he gets a share of the show
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: title when he's not here.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuck and Lucky, Yeah, we got it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be the hard part because apparently the only
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: person that I can be paired with is somebody whose.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Name rhymes of mine. Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Justin Tuck. Is Justin Tuck available? We ought to
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: reach out to him. Andrew, Yeah, I mean he's a
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Stanford guy.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I think he's got a job, but I doubt it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: pays more.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: No. Yeah, so Chuck and Luck maybe that will work out.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: But uh but we'll be working on that behind the scenes,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: and and hopefully that will be a lot shorter period
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: of time, so you're not left being strung along by
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: that in any way, shape or form. All Right, we
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: are underwe I really wanted that to go smoother at
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the beginning. Oh, let's find out What's on Tap for
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the rest of the show. Today, What's on TEP? What's

• 17:25
  Speaker 3: to scrap the rundown at the last second so it
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: would be neater.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Open Championship Day number two is underway.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna save the live update we've got here
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: in a little over two minutes for you to get
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the latest details from Royal Birkdale as we continue with
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: the Open Championship. A World Cup will conclude on Sunday,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: coverage right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: kJ r FM. That will be a noon start. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: don't know, are they having an extended pregame another thing
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: that I meant to look up, but certainly the match
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: will start at noon and we'll have more on that later.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Jackson Feltz will be joining us today at eight thirty
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: and we'll have more on it in the O show.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, pretty soccer heavy eight o'clock
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: hour here today. Speaking of soccer, Sounders returned to the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: pitch yesterday and just got crossed.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I just say, did they return to the pitch though.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they took on Portland. It's been a month since
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: they've played a match and did not look ready to
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: play that match. They were crushed by rival Portland. Five
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: to one was the final score. Brian Schmitzer did not
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: mix words afterwards. That's just not good enough. That is
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: not the standard that we've set for ourselves, paraphrasing his
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: comments from after the game. So five to one the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: final Maybe a wake up call for the Sounders as
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: we resume play in the MLS from the WNBA Storm
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: back in action tonight in Indiana to take on Caitlin
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Clark and the fever. And Caitlin Clark's pretty much a
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: daily story right now in the WNBA, and not for
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: basketball reasons. So this used to be a little more
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: exciting I think when the Storm we're facing Caitlin Clark
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: in the fever, but still an exciting element to it
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: because you never know what's going to happen when Caitlin
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Clark takes the court. Lebron James did not make his
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: decision yesterday as I predicted, so we remain on Lebron Watch.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: We are eight days till training camp. We continue our
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Huskies one series today at nine o'clock. Hugh Millan's going
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: to join us and our QB one will talk about
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the QB one at nine o'clock today, and the Mariners
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: resume the second half of their season tonight at home
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: against the San Francisco Giants. We now know it's Bryce
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Miller versus right hand or Land and Roope, and the
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: first pitch is at seven ten. The Mariners also decided
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: we are sticking with our six man rotation for now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I have details on that next, but right now, let's
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: head to Royal Birkdale.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning to you.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Hey, guess what, everybody, I'm professionally organized now.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Good news, good news.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Everybody, and got it done right in the nick of time.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: That's what a pro will do, right there, right when
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: it matters most.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: They're ready, Yes, exactly, exactly, Good morning.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It is Ashley, Ryan, Chuck Powell with you. Coming up
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: a little bit later on in the show. We'll certainly
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: talk some World Cup. We've got our Huskies one series,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the return of the Depth Chart today at seven thirty,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: and soon we'll be doing Mariners morning after again at
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: six thirty as well, So we've gone a whole week
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: without doing that. As the second half gets underway for
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners tonight at home against the San Francisco Giants,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and the expectation certainly remain the same.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get into some of that coming up at seven.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Five today, but one of the big topics that we
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: have discussed all week long is how the Mariners will
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: set their starting rotation heading into the second half, And
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: again a reminder of how powerless I am. I know
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: because I was wrong. I said yesterday that I thought
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: for sure they'd go five man rotation to start the
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: second half of the season, that they'd started with Brian Wu,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: so that he got to start two of the six
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: games in this homestand I don't think you can. I mean,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: you don't give up on Brian Wu, the road starter,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: being effective on the road, but you don't ignore the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: exaggerated splits between the two and my estimation it's a
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: little bit more than a trend at this stage, So
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: why wouldn't you try to maximize his.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Comfort level at home?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Set the five man rotation with Brian getting the start
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: tonight and getting the start in the last game of
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the homestand and then go on the road at Texas
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: with your four best road dogs ready to pitch against
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: the Rangers in the most important series to date. That's
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: what I thought they would do. I didn't know the
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: exact sequence, kind of was guessing at that, but I
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: was wrong about the two main components. I thought for
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: sure they'd scrap the six man rotation heading into the
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: second half. Actually they did not. And I thought for
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: sure Brian Will would get the first start of the
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: second half. He is not.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't think there was any way they'd think
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: about or they'd consider continuing with the six man rotation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: But it also seems to me that they aren't ready
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: to put someone into the bullpen, or they would have
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: done that. But the more surprising thing for me is
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: that Wu didn't start. Because for a team that bases
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: so many things on analytics, you can't ignore the stat
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: difference between his home and his away starts.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: And I know they're not ignoring it. They're not like
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: covering their eyes and their ears and saying no, no, no, no,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: we don't see it, we don't see it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But at the same time you could. If that's to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: your benefit, why wouldn't you use it to your benefit?
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, at this point you just can't call
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: it a fluke. There's a large enough sample size that
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: suggests there's some difference, there's something wrong, and I think
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: it's purely psychological. I think Brian Wu on the road,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: when it starts to rain a little bit, he gets soaked.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Even when it starts to rain a little bit, He's
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: typically just has that one bad inning when he's on
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the road, and I think he can overcome it. But
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I think there is a large enough sample size that
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I would try to avoid it when I've got four
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: days off and I'm able to put the pieces exactly
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: in the places that I want them to be. But
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: they've decided to start with Bryce Miller tonight, Brian Wu tomorrow,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: and then Logan Gilbert on Sunday, and we will see
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: all six of the starters on this six game homestand
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: and then you'll go on the road and guess who's pitching.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: You'll or second game in Texas on the road in
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: the biggest game of the season, arguably the biggest series
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: of the season to date, and that's gonna be Brian
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Woo and all of his road woes.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I my only thought of maybe why they
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: would be doing it is like, we're not putting any
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: stock into this.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: He's gonna figure it out.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: We're just gonna set our rotation based on how we
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: set our rotation and.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Not worry about Woo's woes. And I would, I mean,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I could understand.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Again, it's a very Pete Woodworth thing that you just said.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is Pete Woodworth in a nutshell. Yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I mean Pete Woodworth is like, I have every bit
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: of confidence in you. I just think it's a fluke
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna be fine, and I'd give you the ball.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I'd give you the ball all four games in that
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: ranger sees you know, that's a very Pete Woodworth thing
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: that we're fine. I mean, hell, Perry Hills feels the
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: same way about j Pe Crawford. JP's fine, even though
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: analytics say JP's not fine. So oh, I think that's
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: part of kind of the way that they operate within
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: the organization.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It's certainly Pete's method.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: It's all about support and positivity and yes, Pete knows pitching,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and Pete's a pitching.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Whisperer, and if you've ever noticed.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: You'll see Pete go out to the mound and he
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: will immediately fix people.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, he's got a lot of attributes, but
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: in terms of how he strokes his players, it's always
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: like overwhelming. You've got this, you are the man you
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: don't worry about. So it's a very Pete Woodworth thing
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: to say. What you know, your statement that we're not
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: really concerned about Woo's road woes. Yeah, on the flip side,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not Pete Woodworth right Well, And here's.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: What I was going to say too, is I don't
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: think that you're telling them you're concerned about it by
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: putting him as the first starter and the sixth starter,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: or you know, and having him pitch the first and
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the sixth game.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're telling him we don't want you
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: on the road.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I think you're saying you don't at home, and we
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: want to start off the second half of the season
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: with somebody who has been who.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Pitched thirty two scoreless innings.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you would have gone to my crazy
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: idea about a piggyback split where wou starts at home
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: and the still starts in the road.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Now that now you're telling him, yeah, there's a problem.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're telling him that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: But even if you did what I think you should do,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: he is going to have to pitch on the road
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles against the.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in a week and a half.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So obviously we're going to at some point say, Brian,
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to figure this out on your own, right,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: And we know how good you are, and you're gonna
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: have to figure out this road situation and you're gonna
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: go up against show A, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: and everybody else. So today's the day that we start
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: figuring that out. But I also think that I would
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I would strategize to maximize the comfort level of every
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: one of my pitch. And to me, it just made
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: more sense that you know, I think there is like
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: a you're starting the second half with us.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even think he looks if you told him that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think Brian Woo's going, oh, you don't trust
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: me on the road.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: No, he'd be like, awesome, let's go.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get this game on Friday and start things
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: off on the right foot.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: It's about time.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to be the number game one starter
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs because my injury.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: It's about time. Give me that damn ball, let's go.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I think that is how we would react, and I
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: think you had an opportunity to do that, So I think.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It's a miss.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: but I think it's a miss. I don't know how
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: long we're going to see the six man rotation. They
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: are only committing to it for one turn through the rotation.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Don't know what's going to happen beyond that. But man,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: they just really seem to be having a difficult decision
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: figuring out how to tell Luis Castillo you're not one
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: of our best five pitchers.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: That's how it feels to me.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: It does feel that way, and it's possible that they
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: have noticed that. You know, well, overall, he has pitched
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: better and we don't want to take that away from him,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: and let's keep trying to use it to our benefit.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: But I just think, as we've talked about, with a
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: six man rotation, you're going so far now between your
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: really strong pitcher starts and yeah, and it would be
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: you'd have and you would have the extra person in
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: the bullpen, which we clearly need.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, yes, no, I agree.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot more to it than just
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: you know, aligning a sequence. There's no doubt about it
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: now they did. I mean, Luke Arkins pointed out yesterday
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: that the six man rotation as of late has been effective.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Jerry pointed out yesterday since we went to the piggyback,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Luis Castillo's game has improved. Those things are true, But
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: also true are what are the things that Ashley just said.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: We have a manager and this was also sort of
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: admitted yesterday by Jerry, which we'll get into at seven
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: oh five today, who's had a really difficult time managing
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: his bullpen, and.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Now we're giving him one fewer.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Pitcher for at least the next six days to come
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: out of the bullpen. And it feels like a pretty
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: important six days.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so there's that, and then there is
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the other thing that Ashley pointed out that I'll just
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: highlight that is that Logan seems to be locked in,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Emerson seems to be locked in, and Bryce seemed to
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: be locked in and George seems to be his best
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: right now than ever before. But we're putting all of
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: those guys. We're going to see them less with a
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: six man rotation. We're going to take advantage of that
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: less with a six man rotation than what we would
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: with a five man rotation. Now my percentage points seventeen
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: percent less, but nonetheless that's less.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So I disagree with it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to go over the top with it
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: this morning, but I made my thoughts known yesterday on
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: what I thought they should do and frankly thought they
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: would do. But they're not going that direction, not yet anyway.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up next, the Rackings off season was
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: supposed to be crazy.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Well, if you.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Count one trade and re signing one guy crazy, then
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I guess we've had a crazy off season. Brandon Montour
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: yesterday though, sounded like he's okay with it. If you
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: didn't hear his thoughts about the crack and off season,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: we'll replace some of that for you next on Chuck
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: All right, great Friday morning to you. It is Ashley
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan and Chuck Powell with you.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: We've got headlines coming up at seven o'clock, including breaking
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: news right here at KJR that we will remind you
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: of at seven o'clock as well. Also, Jerry Depoto talked
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: yesterday or least a story was released by Adam Jude yesterday,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: and so we're gonna get into some of that at
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: seven five as well. Yesterday on our program, we had
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Brandon Montour. It was always fun to have on the
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: show and one of my favorite crack players to watch
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: when he's healthy, because man, he'll punch you right in
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the face.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: He will punch you and then he will skate right
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: around you. But we had the opportunity to talk to
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: him a little bit about the schedule being released, which
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: it's now out and tickets are on sale and ticket
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: packages are available, but also the opportunity to ask a
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: couple of questions about this offseason and what it's like
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: to be a veteran on a team that declared when
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: the season was over, this isn't good enough, and we're
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: going to turn over every rock and stone to try
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: to figure out what's wrong. And so we're going to
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: replay that portion just a couple minutes of that conversation
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: with Brandon yesterday talking about the off season and how
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: difficult it's been for him.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: You know, obviously when nobody's happy where this organization's at
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: on the hockey standpoint. You know, when I signed here,
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: the main goal from ownership and obviously management was to win.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Now they want to win now, trying to find every
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: you know, corner, every turn, to figure a way out
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: to get to get out of this. Obviously it's not
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: going our way. I want to change wanted you know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: a different direction in the sense of trying to find
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: a way out. You know, you love the the conversations
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: and what the ownership and management are saying with changing
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: this like you were saying. But again, you know, you
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: look at you know, obviously management trying to make moves.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: You know, we added a forward. We should help our group.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: But again if if depending on how it goes, you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: looking at you know, how the summer has been seems
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: like as if it's going to be somewhat of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: same group. So it's on us to to you know,
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: it's it's on us to be better, you know, from
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: myself to the rest of my teammates. It's you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: in order for us to move forward. If guys are
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: added or not, you know, it's it's on us to
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: be better and be better as a group to get
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: this on the right direction.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Life as a professional athlete pretty good. I think a
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: lot of people would like the lifestyle of a professional athlete.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: One thing you do have to deal with that I've
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: never had to deal with in my career. I've never
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: had any threat of being traded to another radio station
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: at any given moment. But when you know the organization
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: announces at the end of the year, we're going to
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: do a roster shakeup. I mean, even if you feel good,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: like I know, I'm going to be a crack and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I've been I've talked to coach. I think, I think
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I'm good, you still might lose some teammates this offseason.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: So how difficult is it to go into an off
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: season not knowing who may or may not be leaving
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: the organization after the organization has announced that we're going
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: to we're going to shake things up a little bit.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what it is.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've been around obviously, and I've been traded.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: It's a part of the business. You know, it sucks,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: you know, Obviously you lose friends through free agency, you
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: lose trade, you lose players, and in that standpoint, but
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: you know, again, this is what we signed up for
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: when we were you know, four years old. We know
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: the business. You know, when you have kids and family
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: and you have to jump up and ship your stuff
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: or move your stuff to a different city or across
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: the US or wherever it may be. It's a part
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: of it. It is. It is, you know, stressful, you
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: feel bad, especially if you're closer with those teammates. And
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: again I I came into Seattle, you know, helping or
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: trying to help change this. Obviously the last three years
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: it has not worked out for us in the playoffs.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: So you know, change, you know, you know change is coming.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: You're expected change, you know, like like you said, you
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: sell from ownership and management talking about it, so it's expected.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: But again it's on us, uh to ride the ship
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: and you know, get better each and every day to
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: figure this out so players don't get moved, you know.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: But again, when you lose things change. It's a part
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: of the business. It's part each every year, every team changes.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Let's just hope that you know, the guys are having
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: a good summer management keeps keeps this thing going to
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: the right the right way, and we find a way.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Brandon Montur of The Crack and yesterday on our show.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: If you want to hear the entire conversation, you can
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: do so on our podcast ninety three to three KJR
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: dot com. He was on at nine thirty with us
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: on yesterday's show. I mean, considering Ashley, how much was
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: discussed about what a big shake up this offseason was
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: going to be.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of off season left, right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, we really just extended Brian McMahon, not Brian McMahon,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Bobby Bobby McMahon. We've extended Bobby McMahon and traded for
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Sammy Samuskivich. That's been the extent of the movement. And
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I know that the Cracking had been involved in a
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: lot of trade rumors out there with Shane Wright being
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: that was a big story not just here but throughout
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the NHL.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're just not seeing the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: right move.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Or maybe they in assessing everything they don't feel there
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: for that far away. That'd be a big move on
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: their part to announce to the world we're gonna look
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: under every couch, cushion, crack and corner to find out
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: what is wrong and then just say we made one
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: minor adjustment, let's go. Yeah, that would be a little
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: that'd be a little daring of the crack and to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: not do more this offseason, considering what a big story
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: they made out of the off season being a potential
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: shake up, But then again, we do have a lot
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: of off season remaining.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the last thing I would want is for
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: any team I'm a fan of to make moves because
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: they think, uh oh, well, the fan base is going
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: to be, you know, questioning what we're doing if we
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: don't make some more moves, because we said we were
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: gonna do a lot, and so it is possible that
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: they went in and thought, uh yeah, maybe there's not
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: a lot wrong, But I doubt it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's what happened.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: And I think it is just we're not going to
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: rush to make these moves if the if what we're
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: getting isn't right for it, man, and maybe it don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: pun intended right exactly. Maybe it also involved a conversation
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: between Shane Wright and Lane Lambert to see like where
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: they have their differences or if it could be Salvagable.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're right, don't make moves just to make
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: moves just because you said you made moves. But if
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: we get to the end of this offseason, it's going
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: to be hard to sell the crack. And yeah, we
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: just needed sam As Skevitch. Everything's fine. Yeah, that'd be strange,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: that would be that would be odd. We had to
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: get rid of Jaden Schwartz and add Samus Skevitch.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we had to do.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, all right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Coming up next Headlines, We've got some news here at
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the station that you've been waiting for for a while,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: so we'll clear that up for you.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Next. Also Jerry Depoto's conversation with Adam Jude.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: A lot of things to go over there. Sports Radio
