Speaker 1: You live today at the Utah Red Zone here on campus.
Speaker 1: We used to call it the Bookstore for you old utes,
Speaker 1: so you know right where that is.
Speaker 2: Right across from the library.
Speaker 1: You can park in the visitors a lot to give
Speaker 1: you a thirty minute time limit and then you better
Speaker 1: be in your vehicle after that or they will ticket you.
Speaker 1: A bunch of great deals on yout gear to get
Speaker 1: you ready for football season and basketball season two. Saw
Speaker 1: Alex Jensen here at the bookstore earlier and Wes Wilcox,
Speaker 1: the general manager of the Utah men's basketball program. We'll
Speaker 1: bring in Sammy More today from Ute Zone to talk
Speaker 1: some Utah football. Former Utah running back Zach Moss will
Speaker 1: stop by later on. But on a Wednesday afternoon, let's
Speaker 1: welcome in my friend Andy Larson from the Salt Lake Tribune. Andy,
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, buddy.
Speaker 2: How are you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm good, man, How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good? I'm good. So not a lot of jazz
Speaker 2: stuff going on.
Speaker 1: And I think I can if I stretch my imagination,
Speaker 1: I think I can picture a forty six, forty seven
Speaker 1: year old Andy Larson with a couple of dough being
Speaker 1: kids driving a minivan. I think I could probably picture
Speaker 1: that at some point, but we'll we'll deal with that later.
Speaker 1: The Mini Van himself has been traded back to the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz. George Niang and a couple of second rounders
Speaker 1: to the Jazz, a salary dump move for the Celtics.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on this deal and whether it really means
Speaker 1: anything at all for the Jazz in the interim or
Speaker 1: in the future.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean it's the kind of deal that
Speaker 3: the Jazz should be doing, right like. This is the
Speaker 3: kind of thing that I had wanted them to use
Speaker 3: their salary on in the last few years. And the
Speaker 3: Danny Ainge era was rather than kind of signing your
Speaker 3: threw you banks, is you get trading for John Collins,
Speaker 3: is use that salary to go get draft picks and
Speaker 3: and get assets in a return for players, right like.
Speaker 3: And that's really what the Oklahoma City Thunder did, most
Speaker 3: notably with the Al Horford deal. Got a first round
Speaker 3: pick to take on the contract, then sent out, then
Speaker 3: got another first round pick to trade him to the Celtics,
Speaker 3: you know, And so for the Jazz to get two
Speaker 3: second round picks on the front end of this deal
Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense to take on what's not
Speaker 3: a big salary, and then I think they could potentially
Speaker 3: get a pick in trading Yang later on if he
Speaker 3: plays well. Now, he didn't play that well for the
Speaker 3: Cavaliers last season. He did play pretty well for the
Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawks. We'll see, you know where he ends up
Speaker 3: falling out in twenty twenty five to twenty six. But again,
Speaker 3: it's the kind of move that the Jazz should be making.
Speaker 3: And you know, what George does on the basketball court
Speaker 3: is of frankly no real matter to the Jazz because
Speaker 3: they're not gonna win anyway.
Speaker 1: So yusef Nurkics, George Niang, Kevin Love, and Kyle Anderson.
Speaker 1: Of the four vets that are technically still employed by
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz, how many of them will be employed
Speaker 1: on opening night?
Speaker 3: On opening night? I would say two, maybe three of them. Look,
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously there aren't enough minutes for all those
Speaker 3: guys plus council about k plus you know the Ace
Speaker 3: Bailey plus remaining Jazz use that you know, Lowry Market
Speaker 3: and obviously three or you know the three and four
Speaker 3: the Jazz have on the Trotter or Brice sense Abot,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. But I do think that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, there you can just kind of fit those
Speaker 3: guys and kind of do some rotation rotating stuff that uh,
Speaker 3: you know they did last year, right. I don't think
Speaker 3: that Jazz are going to like look to dump those
Speaker 3: guys for for negative value and and yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: ultimately maybe there's a team or two that decides this
Speaker 3: is the right thing. But yeah, you know, I it's
Speaker 3: it's hard to say, like right now, no one's like
Speaker 3: in the market for like a backup for or maybe
Speaker 3: backup three and depending on what you think Kyle Anderson
Speaker 3: is right now. But you know, I would be a
Speaker 3: little bit surprised to see Kevin Love remain with the team.
Speaker 3: We'll see, Like, I don't think there's a lot of
Speaker 3: I think that As are gonna kind of play this
Speaker 3: out until training camp and see what kind of interest
Speaker 3: there is around the league.
Speaker 1: So you know, I do feel like there is the
Speaker 1: potential and I don't know how Will's going to approach this.
Speaker 1: And I understand what Austin has said about you know,
Speaker 1: playing the young players, and it feels like that is
Speaker 1: the team's approach this year. I just can't imagine, like
Speaker 1: if those guys are still on the roster, and you know,
Speaker 1: Will decides to play usif Nurkic twenty twenty five minutes
Speaker 1: or George Niang twenty twenty five minutes, or even Kevin
Speaker 1: Love or Kyle Anderson. I do feel like there's the
Speaker 1: potential of a frustrated fan base that could see minutes
Speaker 1: that should go to Ace and Walter Clayton Junior and
Speaker 1: the rest of the young players. If any of those
Speaker 1: minutes are allocated to the Vets. What do you think
Speaker 1: the reaction is going to be here in the market.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are gonna be mad, and I think like
Speaker 3: fairly so, right, Like, it doesn't make any sense to
Speaker 3: play like use of Nurkis is a perfect example, right
Speaker 3: Like his coach in Bosnia just said be euro Basket
Speaker 3: that he's not he's so out of shape he's not
Speaker 3: even sure he can run right now, So like, you know,
Speaker 3: what are we doing if you're playing Nirks? What are
Speaker 3: you doing? Right? But some dumped him too, you know
Speaker 3: it just it doesn't make sense. But I guess if
Speaker 3: you play Nirkic over those guys right like now, if
Speaker 3: they're injuries and you know you need someone to fill
Speaker 3: the minute, great maybe you feel like you can motivate
Speaker 3: a non hard worker to work harder if you play George,
Speaker 3: you know, if if if you know, guy makes a defensive,
Speaker 3: bone headed move fits for a couple of minutes, and
Speaker 3: then you throw George Yang in the game or whatever. Right,
Speaker 3: But ultimately it's not like George is a great defender either,
Speaker 3: you know, It's just yeah, I mean, I think the
Speaker 3: organization has been pretty clear that, hey, this is going
Speaker 3: to be about the youth, and they're going to make
Speaker 3: the playing time decisions that rek like that.
Speaker 1: How would you articulate the Austin Ainge experience so far
Speaker 1: and what are the differences that you've seen in the
Speaker 1: decision making process with Austin being the primary voice as
Speaker 1: opposed to whoever it was before him. And I don't
Speaker 1: I still don't think we fully understand whether that was
Speaker 1: Danny or Justin. I mean, I suppose the buck stops
Speaker 1: with the owner, and it stops with the owner with
Speaker 1: the jazz now in a way that it didn't used
Speaker 1: to stop with the jazz, And quite frankly, it stops
Speaker 1: with the owner in a way that it really doesn't
Speaker 1: stop with a lot of teams in the NBA because
Speaker 1: that's Ryan's approach, which is is right because the man
Speaker 1: with the gold makes the rules. But now that we
Speaker 1: have a few months of Austin being in charge, how
Speaker 1: would you articulate what you perceived to be maybe the
Speaker 1: differences or kind of what what has that dynamic been
Speaker 1: like for you?
Speaker 3: The big difference is, you know, I think we saw
Speaker 3: in the Colin Sex and you and Colin's fields where
Speaker 3: they were willing to take pretty bad value deals back
Speaker 3: in order to fix a timeline. And I think what
Speaker 3: this Jazz team has un poorly in the last couple
Speaker 3: of years is go half in on the timeline, right,
Speaker 3: whether that's acquiring a John Collins when they did in
Speaker 3: their in the rebuild, whether that wasn't moving Colin Secon earlier,
Speaker 3: whether that was extending Jordan Clarkson. They have made moves
Speaker 3: this summer to need to basically get away from those
Speaker 3: mistakes that I think Danny Inge clearly stuffs too long
Speaker 3: with those guys now, you know, And I think this
Speaker 3: Georgi Youang deal is more about the picks than it
Speaker 3: is about George Yang. And you know, the the chances
Speaker 3: the Jazz have one kind of last big chance to
Speaker 3: do this with Larry Markinen and then maybe you can
Speaker 3: do it on the side with the four veterans you named,
Speaker 3: But like you know, that's to me, the big issue,
Speaker 3: the biggest clear difference from from Austin age to to
Speaker 3: its predecessors is that willingness to lose on a deal
Speaker 3: to make it uh fit the timeline fits the actual action.
Speaker 3: Rebuild the Jazz team from what they've been doing over
Speaker 3: the last few years.
Speaker 1: One more jazz question, then we'll move on to some
Speaker 1: other things. Actually, no, two more jazz questions. The first
Speaker 1: one to ask you is do you anticipate any other movement?
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to say they traded Donovan in
Speaker 1: August or September, and I think they traded about Donovich
Speaker 1: in like late September, and you know, most of the
Speaker 1: big deals in pro basketball are probably done. That could
Speaker 1: change if there's some sort of seismic Yiannis situation or something.
Speaker 1: And there's still some decent players out there that are unsigned.
Speaker 1: But do you feel like I think the roster's full,
Speaker 1: I think they've met their salary requirements hit the floor.
Speaker 2: Do you think this is the Jazz team we're going
Speaker 2: to see come fall?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, they don't have to do anything, but
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you that, like, hey, they can't
Speaker 3: have this many veterans. They probably do make one move
Speaker 3: before then, you know, we got to figure out what
Speaker 3: the John Ponzie deal is. There's some small stuff. I
Speaker 3: would be surprised ever we see a marketing deal before
Speaker 3: training camp. I mean, I think it just makes sense
Speaker 3: to let him play the beginning of the season kind
Speaker 3: of try to raise his value. He's had a good
Speaker 3: preparation for EuroBasket so far. And because I do think
Speaker 3: Quake of all the Jazz's players that veterans who didn't
Speaker 3: have trade value in the end, Blowry is clearly a
Speaker 3: step or five above, and so to give him the
Speaker 3: opportunity to show off that value, I think it's probably
Speaker 3: worth doing, all right.
Speaker 1: Last one, our buddy Gordon Monson, our mutual friend who
Speaker 1: I did radio with for years and you work with
Speaker 1: over the trib wrote.
Speaker 2: A piece in response to a survey that was done.
Speaker 1: By the Action Network, and I've talked about it since
Speaker 1: Gordon wrote it, and I've discussed it with guests. Essentially,
Speaker 1: there's a big portion of this fan base that feels
Speaker 1: like they're a priced there's a big portion of this
Speaker 1: fan base that is unhappy with results.
Speaker 2: Obvious.
Speaker 1: That's obvious because the results have been really bad for
Speaker 1: three years and they're going to be really bad for
Speaker 1: maybe another two or three years. I feel like we
Speaker 1: have a very smart basketball market and Jazz fans rule,
Speaker 1: and they continue to show up and they continue at
Speaker 1: least at the arena to show patients and show that
Speaker 1: they're still invested. The local TV ratings were down this
Speaker 1: year juxtapposed to what they are when the Jazz are good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's too surprising, But what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what this survey said? And do you
Speaker 1: think there are certain portions of this fan base that
Speaker 1: have their patients wearing thin a bit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it was it was an interesting survey,
Speaker 3: and it's a small sample size, right, Like I think
Speaker 3: it was three thousand fans in the NBA, which is
Speaker 3: you know, about one hundred for the Jazz. That being said, like, look,
Speaker 3: I do think and you here and I hear from
Speaker 3: them all the time that there were a significant continual
Speaker 3: of Jazz fans that feels that this is not going
Speaker 3: well right, that this rebuild is taking a really long
Speaker 3: time that maybe they send Afrited Donovan Minrudy and then heck,
Speaker 3: even if you say, hey, the three build is the
Speaker 3: right thing to do, maybe you should treat your fans
Speaker 3: a little bit better. And while they're think there have
Speaker 3: been significant wins on that with you know, I'm going
Speaker 3: to count like Jazz plus or SEG plus as a
Speaker 3: big part of that, I think there have been significant
Speaker 3: l's too, right, Like they've raised season ticket prices six
Speaker 3: percent last year for some fans win and I think
Speaker 3: it's an average of three percent if I'm remembering that, right,
Speaker 3: despite the team being the worst team in Jazz franchise history,
Speaker 3: and I think kind of blaming the fans for those
Speaker 3: those ticket prices and in ways that I thought was
Speaker 3: really pretty unfair. I think there's significant Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: I think those are significant and real worries that I
Speaker 3: understand fans concern, and ultimately I wish the mister Entertainment
Speaker 3: group was a little bit more caring about what those
Speaker 3: fans say, because I do think, for you know, there's
Speaker 3: they have put off this mindset of well, if you
Speaker 3: don't like it, you can leave, and I don't think
Speaker 3: that's the right way to treat fans who have been
Speaker 3: around for a decade, you know, following Jazz. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is just a beloved franchise, so that thinks that
Speaker 3: you know, they're having good things too, and I think
Speaker 3: that's worth noting. Again, everything is solved by the Jazz
Speaker 3: being good one day, and if they turn out not
Speaker 3: to make the playoff for a decade, then we're gonna
Speaker 3: see some really negative opinions about Ryan Smith. And you're
Speaker 3: kind of continue to grow.
Speaker 1: Okay, Andy Larson, mister triple team, mister Jazz b writer
Speaker 1: from The Tribune. I don't know if we're going to
Speaker 1: have a triple option coming soon, but you've been writing
Speaker 1: about Utah football, and you were up at the practice
Speaker 1: facility during media availability recently and you wrote a piece
Speaker 1: steeped in solid evidence that we've discussed on the show
Speaker 1: and other people have pontificated on what Utah would look
Speaker 1: like would have looked like last year if they even
Speaker 1: had a competent offense, and there's a lot of optimism
Speaker 1: that the offense will be both competent and maybe even
Speaker 1: more than that this year. I am more of a
Speaker 1: you know, miss ur state motto, show me guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know enough about these players, including Devin, including the
Speaker 1: wide receivers, to make any sort of audacious claim about
Speaker 1: what they can be this year, but based off of
Speaker 1: kind of what you dug in and what you witness
Speaker 1: when you were up here not too long ago writing
Speaker 1: about the utes, do you feel like you've seen enough
Speaker 1: to at least believe have some confidence this offense can
Speaker 1: be confident enough to compliment which will be another excellent
Speaker 1: defensive unit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, you know, I think there's real reason to
Speaker 3: be optimistic about it. And I think the biggest reason
Speaker 3: to be optimistic about it is how for the quarterback
Speaker 3: situation was last year, right, Like, it is really really
Speaker 3: easy to improve on the two hundred and fiftieth ranks
Speaker 3: quarterback and college football last year. And you know, if
Speaker 3: you look at the other quarterback to play, the three
Speaker 3: hundred ranked quarterback by Pro Football focuses creating system which
Speaker 3: you know has some plause, but like overall where you
Speaker 3: can do some sort of analysis on it is pretty
Speaker 3: reasonable for where like Isaac Wilson and and the rest
Speaker 3: injured camerasing it that our Brenda Roads ended up last year.
Speaker 3: I think Devin Dempire is a really good quarterback and
Speaker 3: in fact is rated really highly by Pro Football Focuses
Speaker 3: metrics and kind of had enough good games against good
Speaker 3: competition last year that you can see it's kind of
Speaker 3: really working in the Big twelve. I'm less confident unlike
Speaker 3: the running attack when it goes through the running backs
Speaker 3: and just frankly kind of outside the tackles wide receiving,
Speaker 3: just the wide receiver corps is you know, it is
Speaker 3: what it is. It's it's asking a lot. You have
Speaker 3: a lot of different options from a lot of kind
Speaker 3: of unproving guys at the P four level. But I
Speaker 3: just think that like, hey, if you block well and
Speaker 3: I think this utha offensive line will and you have
Speaker 3: a good quarterback who creates plays out of nothing like
Speaker 3: Devin Dempier does. Like I think, ultimately it's pretty easy
Speaker 3: to imagine the youth offense being a touchdown better next year.
Speaker 3: And if they're touchdown better next year, then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, you know they are a eight, nine to
Speaker 3: ten win team and maybe even more. Right so, if
Speaker 3: everything comes together, then yes they can be a playoff team.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what's so exciting to see. We'll
Speaker 3: see what ends up happening. You know, it's always easy
Speaker 3: to kind of say that now when it's preseasons, But
Speaker 3: I do think there are real, real reasons to be
Speaker 3: optimist about this use offense.
Speaker 1: What are what's the other side of it if if
Speaker 1: you took the if you just took the contrarian point
Speaker 1: of view as far as what your concerns are, Because
Speaker 1: for me, I'll just go back to what I said
Speaker 1: when inenter the question, I've got to see it. I
Speaker 1: always say this during the first portion of the college
Speaker 1: football season. It's observation, not conclusion. And they've got a
Speaker 1: pretty soft landing spot in non con with a UCLA
Speaker 1: team that's in flux, cow Poly team that they'll smoke
Speaker 1: by sixty and a road trip to Laramie, which shouldn't
Speaker 1: be an issue. So I've got to wait to see
Speaker 1: what they look like, you know, with this kind of
Speaker 1: soft landing spot in non con But if he took
Speaker 1: the other side of it, reasons to be a little
Speaker 1: bit you know, skeptical and critical about what this could
Speaker 1: look like.
Speaker 2: What does that sound like, Andy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like Devin Dempier had some turnovers last
Speaker 3: year and some interceptions, and I guess you know, obviously
Speaker 3: the height issue I think is notable, right, Like, I
Speaker 3: went to practice and he is relatively short among quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: there's no doubt about it. Kind of like the worst
Speaker 3: case scenario looks like essentially he ends up throwing some
Speaker 3: picks early and then Kyle Whittingham kind of takes the
Speaker 3: keys away from him a little bit, right, And to
Speaker 3: be fair, we have seen that in the history of
Speaker 3: the youth offense. Is uh, oh, we have a quarterback
Speaker 3: who made a mistake. It's time to run the football,
Speaker 3: and that approach is probably not the best in terms
Speaker 3: of scoring points in twenty twenty five, and especially may
Speaker 3: not be the best approach given you know what looks
Speaker 3: to be a two back running back system and you
Speaker 3: know what what ends up being, you know, may need
Speaker 3: to be a one dimensional offense if those rains are
Speaker 3: pulled away. So that would be kind of like the
Speaker 3: scenario to me that maybe most likely that I see. Okay,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the youth offend struggles a little bit,
Speaker 3: the defense isn't as strong as you hoped, and then
Speaker 3: you know you're looking at probably still better than five
Speaker 3: and seven, but like six wins, seven wins becomes a
Speaker 3: real possibility.
Speaker 1: All right, Andy, let's do a little RSL before I
Speaker 1: say you loose man. I've talked about this at problem
Speaker 1: on this week. We just chatted with CK. I'm not
Speaker 1: one to go too hard on officials as it pertains
Speaker 1: to results.
Speaker 2: I think there are other things you can control.
Speaker 1: And my sincere belief is over time, these things even out.
Speaker 1: I get the frustrations. The Lunas stuff against New York
Speaker 1: was wild. I mean it looked to me like even
Speaker 1: in real time, you should have been able to see
Speaker 1: that he was drugged down. But there's also part of
Speaker 1: me that believes that kid needs some rest and maybe
Speaker 1: a week off against Charlotte and the worst thing and
Speaker 1: then I guess the pks. We could debate whether or
Speaker 1: not those were the right calls, but before we get
Speaker 1: to your confidence level or lack there of the rest
Speaker 1: of the rest of the way, how did you digest
Speaker 1: that result against the Red Bulls?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's it's both stuff and fair, if
Speaker 3: that makes sense. Right Like, you got out to a big,
Speaker 3: big Elder lead and a good goal from Gozo, and
Speaker 3: then I didn't like much of what I saw from
Speaker 3: RSL after that, Right, Like the Red Bull did play
Speaker 3: the better game clearly from from that point and had
Speaker 3: way more chances and Arthl went off the back foot
Speaker 3: and went off the front foot and couldn't get a
Speaker 3: whole lot else going. And so that's what you know
Speaker 3: we've seen when RCEL is playing poorly, is just they
Speaker 3: can't get bad attack going. And it was kind of
Speaker 3: a return to that, like April may form a little bit,
Speaker 3: which is which is troubling. Again, Diogo was a no show,
Speaker 3: so look and then yes, the Diego Luna stuff was
Speaker 3: insane and that or he should be made fun of
Speaker 3: every time he's seen in Utah and et cetera, et cetera,
Speaker 3: Like he should. He's a bad person who should feel bad.
Speaker 3: I think, like ultimately though two to one isn't an
Speaker 3: unfair result, and I do just want to see kind
Speaker 3: of the game changing additions on the pitch for more
Speaker 3: of it, right like Ron Cruise and and always like
Speaker 3: should make a difference and you can see spaces where
Speaker 3: they can make a difference and hopefully this can be
Speaker 3: more cohesive of an attack. You know, some of it.
Speaker 3: I think with the field to in New York, that
Speaker 3: was a terrible field they played on so it's always
Speaker 3: going to be kind of sloppy, but RCEL looks and
Speaker 3: played sloppy, and I think ultimately it's hard to really
Speaker 3: too fairly complain about the two one result given how
Speaker 3: the ninety minutes win.
Speaker 2: If we pan back a little bit. Do you believe
Speaker 2: the officiating in MLS is a problem, Yes.
Speaker 3: But it always is. Like I don't necessarily believe that
Speaker 3: pro has gotten worse. I do things like it's harder
Speaker 3: for them now because there are more teams and MLS
Speaker 3: and therefore more games for them to referee. But I
Speaker 3: you know, I think ultimately, honestly, VR has generally done
Speaker 3: a pretty good job. Like Inside Video Review every week
Speaker 3: is actually really good watch to learn how these guys
Speaker 3: are making decisions. I would definitely like it to be better.
Speaker 3: I think it is of a lower quality than other leagues,
Speaker 3: to be sure, but I think, you know, that kind
Speaker 3: of fits that mols's standing is what like the tenth
Speaker 3: best soccer league in the world if you're an optimist.
Speaker 3: So yeah, like I think I really do wish it
Speaker 3: were better, and it's hard for me to also like
Speaker 3: point to things that they can do necessarily week in
Speaker 3: week out that other than maybe like have a little
Speaker 3: bit more humility and changing being correct decisions on the field.
Speaker 2: All right, last thing, there are nine matches left.
Speaker 1: I don't have an update on the olatun g work
Speaker 1: visa situation.
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's available this weekend.
Speaker 1: Pablo on the show did say he will start Ruan
Speaker 1: Cruz coming up again Charlotte this weekend.
Speaker 2: RSL is one point out of the playoff race.
Speaker 1: Nine teams make it in MLS and that is more
Speaker 1: than half your conference. So if you don't make it,
Speaker 1: it's a bad look. How you feeling the rest of
Speaker 1: the way with nine matches left, you think we have
Speaker 1: a playoff team on this roster?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. I saw some playoff odds earlier this
Speaker 3: week and indicated fifty percent chance in fifty percent out,
Speaker 3: which is kind of how I'm feeling right Like, I
Speaker 3: think ultimately RFL can play better than what they've shown
Speaker 3: this season and have such a talented midfield and a
Speaker 3: really talented keeper in Rapa Cabral that you can see
Speaker 3: them absolutely making the playoffs. And the kind of the
Speaker 3: bummer is if you do make the playoffs, you're so
Speaker 3: hoping you may still be in that eight to nine
Speaker 3: game and we'll see. You know that that's not a
Speaker 3: great place to be, but yeah, look I think it's
Speaker 3: I think this team has talent, and I think like
Speaker 3: there is the possibility you just kind of throw in
Speaker 3: a cruise in an Ola Tunji and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden everything makes sense because there just have been
Speaker 3: such obvious weak winks on this team. But the schedule
Speaker 3: is not easy either. You've got LSD for a couple
Speaker 3: of these matches, like it's gonna be really tough, and yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll see. I mean, I feel again kind of in
Speaker 3: that fifty to fifty zone is about right for what
Speaker 3: we have to think about this RSL season.
Speaker 1: All right, Andy Friday, on this program, you are driving
Speaker 1: the ship.
Speaker 2: Give us a quick tease before I set you loose.
Speaker 3: To be determined. You know, we're still planning guests and whatnot,
Speaker 3: but I'm looking forward to talking. Actually, I get a
Speaker 3: decent amount of use football with Porter. We're gonna have
Speaker 3: Jason Batakiao on. I hope I need to selpporder that.
Speaker 3: But that's my guy from the Salt Lake Commune. He's
Speaker 3: done some really awesome US stories, including one about Isaac Wilson.
Speaker 3: He released today and then yeah, we'll have a variety
Speaker 3: of guests from around the world, sports TBD because I
Speaker 3: don't actually know who we have yet on Friday, but
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: All good, Well, I appreciate you filling in. Enjoy that
Speaker 1: and we'll chat soon. Andy, thanks for the time, Bud,
Speaker 1: I'll good.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 1: Then, Andy Larson saw Lake Tribune at Andy B. Larson
Speaker 1: is where you find him on social media. Typically covers
