very distinguished good-looking Adam Jude so you missed out on a good game last night how are you yeah I tried to get Jude to do the buer buzz thing with Cal but I mean like you know that just to even up the score for some of us a little bit since you know since he looks like Nicolet or Brandon from uh 902 and0 or whatever he is so yeah you know uh don’t pretend like you didn’t know his name was Brandon Priestley and in the show was Brandon Walsh Jason Brandon Walsh oh believe I’ve seen I told you like when I turned 50 next year I’m GNA 50 can’t believe you’re 50 I mean I can’t believe I’m older than you I mean that’s what it’s terrifying well and yeah know it’s true one of us one of us looks like he could still you know be in his 30s and hit on college girls and one of us looks like you so you’re a real a-hole you know that I but I mean like it’s the Asian thing like Asians don’t age right away but when we do but there’s a drop off right it’s a fall it’s a hard crash a precipitous drop it’s like going off the cliff with thelman Louise yeah you know like we end up looking like worse than Mr Miyagi we end up looking like you remember that show Big Trouble in Little China we end up looking like of course I know that one of the one of the greatest movies of all time oh yeah it’s it’s totally underrated like might be Kurt Russell’s greatest movie yeah I I mean yeah it’s right up there that and the original overboard probably but you know it’s I forgot about overboard he made he made some great movies was best of times and Robin Williams is the receiver that couldn’t catch so good yeah that’s great he’s a he’s a fantastic actor of our time you and I were joking before we hit record uh you we are both big uh uh um connoisseurs of of full swing on Netflix you’re right about next year’s Netflix I mean the sheffler all the crap was sheffler dragging the cop and then Rory’s meltdown I mean next year is going to be Sensational for the Netflix well it’s also like John ROM takes all that money gets on the live and then about it within a week I know why I wish I was playing at pebble oh it’s going to be great yeah I mean like all this so it’ll be great I’m really looking forward to that I I’m really looking forward to the baseball one so the Red Sox so apparently they’re do wait wait wait wait T I didn’t know this they’re doing it they’re following the Red Sox right now for an entire season the Netflix Netflix yeah so the people who do full swing are doing a baseball one and they got the Red Sox to agree oh and I mean like like right away that’s remember when Des came out and talked about how they weren’t trying to win because they didn’t sign anybody and nobody wanted to play there and um so I was talking with some people with the Mariners you know they approach most teams they really they they approach the Mariners because I think like you know the storyline of the failures of last season and stuff but the thing with those people are you have no editorial say in all of it they have it and they do whatever they want with it like with Hard Knocks with Hard Knocks like the team still has to approve some of it you know especially like some of the conversations that are sort semi-private or whatever they have the the NFL team that’s Doing Hard Knocks has some editorial control with Netflix you have none none and so so the Red Sox can’t go to them and say hey we we can’t have that in there I don’t think so no MLB might be by saying like it infringes on some of their rights or something but or on some of the agreements but no like the Ed Red Sox can’t say hey this makes us look bad so we can’t can’t have this no they they signed them away that’s why I mean like the Mariners would never even do it if they had editorial rights I don’t think because they I mean they self-promote better than any team anyways so um well they do I mean like that’s why that’s why they’re able to get fans when they’re not good is because they hadn’t understand you know how to generate popularity their marketing team is their marketing team and the way they do it has been the best in not only in baseball but has been the best in professional sports for years yeah and so like uh they weren’t going to do that that I mean that’s you know these guys are control freaks anyways you know and so it’s like they weren’t going to do it but the Red Sox agreed to it so I’m I’m very curious to see how it is but like with full swing you know the PGA it’s been kind of a crazy year and then you still have all the acrimony between Liv and and sure the tour and nobody’s really solved anything so I love those things like I was trying to so uh I think we talked a little bit on on here about my girlfriend’s son that hasn’t really seen like he’s for as much as he in sports he hasn’t seen a ton of sport sport movies like he’s getting better like he watched the redeem team and he watched the Aaron Aaron uh Aaron Hernandez thing and Johnny Football wait a minute he watched the the Hernandez thing on Netflix that was that was just I mean yeah remarkable like where that guy was at and he watched quarterbacks on Netflix which he liked but I told him like so we were trying to give him the movie as they say in a Pitch Perfect and we’re were like talking about well he’s got to watch Bull Durham and he’s got to watch Major League Vision Quest but then we’re were talking about the 30 for30 and I was like well you gotta watch fab five and the U those are probably the two best 303s I’ve ever seen yes and Catholics versus convicts great one God now I’m gonna think about now now now I’m now I’m I’m just going through my head of all the 30 was it there was one on Billy Sims wasn’t there uh Billy s marus d Marcus dpri was a good one the Bo Jackson is a good one um I like the one on the UFL or usfl the usfl one that was a good one uh I like them all the three nights in October one is pretty good too you know the Boston one Red Sox be that was a good one too I mean they’re all really well done I mean like you know thank you Bill Simmons for all that hell watch the hell like the U I remember them I was so excited to watch the American Gladiators one because when that thing first came out you know it’s coming back I heard I heard I think it’s I think it’s going to go on Amazon it’s on Prime yeah that Mike Balman when he’s done with the Mariners he can go be on uh on American what about Lukey I thinky would be great yeah ry’s out there he doesn’t even use the cannon to shoot tennis balls he’s just whipping them at people dude he’s just can we start there with him yeah you you know this because you’ve been around the sport for so long like the greatest compliment you get a baseball player you just say he’s a ball player right yeah he’s just a ball player that’s what I every time I see that guy I’m just like just a ball player it’s all he does he does he kind of does everything right for the most part yeah it’s like they call him dirt bags you remember the old Long Beach day now thing the dirt bag you’re a dirt bag you just do everything it takes to win Mar’s got some guys like that you know what I mean like Josh roas kind of like that throwback doesn’t you know does everything right yeah Luke rley you know and like people sit there and say like Julio’s a superstar but he runs hard every time he steals bags he works on his defense every single like we go out there he’s out working on his defense he does his long toss like there’s no these guys aren’t satisfied kind of where they’re at so they they kind of work I mean hanar you know I think Han’s defense has been better after struggling the first few months you know it’s like he’s done some work to try and find some like they he just talked about he like he was a little banged up and he was like I’m just getting poor reads you know and he did some work with Chris neon like that’s what you want I mean like you want you can’t have all guys that are pretty boys you know you got to have some dirt bags in their like Jim morz said you know like guys that play hard do the little things help you win in ways that aren’t a typical to how people think you’re going isn’t there a speaking of uh movies baseball movies isn’t there a documentary on that dirt bags right the Portland team uh is that what it’s called or I think is it a different name I don’t know it might be there’s like a minor league in and speaking of Kurt Russell I think his dad was on that team oh it’s possible hold on now now I got to go you got to give me a second cuz I got to go I got to go down this rabbit hole Portland like minor league team wasn’t it called dirt bags God give me a second here it’s going the Portland Mavericks oh Portland Mavericks yeah and dirt bags baseball um yeah yeah they were the independent baseball league and they were in like in the 70s and I’m pretty sure they did like a their yeah yeah oh no no it’s called the uh but it was about them it’s called The Battered Bastards of Baseball The Battered Bastards of Baseball yeah that’s on nflix so Kurt Russell’s dad is is on that team okay God we this has been the Kurt Russell episode yeah I guess so what other great Curt Russell movies do we have would you like to go over we’ve done uh big trouble and Little China overboard mirac again Miracle God I mean like he’s been some stuff es New York Escape From New York Tango and cas Tango and cash I’ll watch that every time Tango and cash is you know just so every time there’s Tango there’s Cash There’s Cash There’s Tango yeah yeah that’s great I got lost now what are we talking about Lukey talk abouty I mean like he does a lot so I Kurt Russell’s gonna play Luke rley in the movie about the Mariners like I didn’t really know a lot about Luke rley you know like I knew you you look at the numbers but I didn’t go to Tampa last year and he had a couple bombs against the mar last year but like he just didn’t remember him the true appreciation for Lukey is watching him play every day you know and seeing how hard he plays all the little things he does you know like everybody makes a big deal about the bunting like that’s hard to do to make that to do make that play but just you know it never looks pretty and has he said and I think we said it on here he says everything I do looks Awkward on a baseball field nothing I do looks smooth he doesn’t look Smooth you’re right about that one he look a little off he’s like a baby giraffe out there he’s like Hunter Pence he’s a lot like Hunter Pence guys that are awkward that don’t look smooth you know and I mean like he you know you watch him feel ground balls and throw he ain’t Mark Grace or John olude you know but he gets the job done and he listens and he’s very coachable that’s that but that’s see see to me and I thought about this with him he is like statistic um from a stat perspective like when they acquired him there really was no difference between there was like zero difference between him and Kellick they were virtually the same player and he was just an older version of Jared Kellick and so I remember when they they first made the move all the series of moves I was like well why did they just they just got an older version of this guy why and I’m with you I do nothing about him but I think the biggest difference is the attitude the guy has like this unbelievable Joy of baseball and has this like big Goofy smile on his face and they both play with a lot of emotion right but I think the difference is ry’s emotion is like 100% positive like kind of all the time where Kellick can be that way and and can and very and a lot of times can have that positive attitude and plays with fire and pissing vinegar and all that but but when he’s down though he can kind of get down and I think his down kind of permeates sometimes through the rest of the team yeah kind of be a negative vibe yeah I can see that I think with Luke also he was never a top recruit or a top prospect when you don’t have anything you can’t have that attitude because they’ll get rid of you when you’re really good you can be an if you want I mean like you know like you’re the most talented player like we talked about how much Richie sex and hated baseball but he hit 40 bombs so like people were like well we’ll put up with you if you hit produce and so like reallyy talked about it he had to play the game one way and he kind of plays it like a football player anyways that’s how he’s played that’s how he got to the big leagues that’s how he’s going to stay in the big leagues he can’t he can’t play in the the only thing you ever worry about with a guy that plays like that is how long you know what’s the wear and tear Factor going to be because he’s kind of a lunatic you know crashing into walls diving sliding you know you know he’ll like he always just sit there and says if you throw 95 in I’ll just wear it go to first they take my yeah but whatever if he gets hurt I I don’t care he he just he plays so damn hard oh yeah it’s unbelievable so I mean like I think that’s it’s a good thing you know to have guys like that you have to have a mix of personalities you have to have some hardos you have to have some kind of easygoing guys I mean like you know they do though right they’ve got that right he’s he’s kind of a weirdo wacko right Haner is you know single focused like past job right part robot cyborg you know and then Crawford is that kind of like you know you know Stoner just kind of chilling out there Vibe and and you know there’s so there is a mix of personalities and I mean I don’t need to tell you you’re you’re in there every day you know this better than I do oh yeah I mean like you’ve got cal It’s the coach’s kid college coaches kid running you know running there and just you know scares the beesus out of everybody you know and then like and you have no Tai’s every Tai’s taken over as the Seager smartass role where he’s on everybody all the time him and roas roas roas is a a talker like he likes to talk at the umps and the other team and like he was that guy you yeah so they got so he’s so Roos is the cocky one yeah okay then Julio is Julio’s role is what just the Superstar yeah and I mean but like like the superstar that works you know and plays and doesn’t take days off Julio has the mindset you know he he remember talk I remember him talking about the Jordan thing how Jordan said like why do you go out and play and play so hard because there might be somebody has never seen me play before that’s kind of like Julio is he looks at especially kids like you know if a kid’s first time at the Ballpark like I want to make sure I try and do something special so it’s like um yeah I mean like look at the pitching staff and their eclectic mix of personalities yeah what’s Gilbert well I mean he’s the he has a he’s bipolar he’s got two personalities multiple personality disorder you know super quiet kind of sardonic and a smartass um you know and very friendly but then like when he takes the mound like you know he turns into Heisenberg he changes yeah he turns into heisen Walter White you know and George is George is quiet doesn’t really like people you know rather be on the range with his airpods on hitting hitting balls and you know like does he really not does he really not like people is he just is he kind of like that all the time he’s just very is he quiet yeah he’s quiet you know the personality is starting to come out like his postgame interviews have gotten so much better you know I I didn’t get any royalties for that little hype video that that Mariners use for you know where they see I like to pitch pissed off and I listen to you know and angry I’m like hey I asked all those questions for you guys like here you go you know but give me something Martinez yeah I mean um something better than the maybe the media dining um oh you’re right you were time out you were when we were there you know a couple weeks ago you were right about that media dining wow boy they’ve slipped it’s about in 205 with a lot of strikeout 205 it’s under 200 yeah okay then what’s mil what’s Bryce Miller uh just look he’s a Texas this guy you know it’s like that story I wrote like it’s kind of like their music you know and Woo’s got the Woo’s a surfer California nor the California listen to Little Tupac but also listening to the Obscure rap like Andre nicotina you know the cool rap that nobody knows about the hell atmosphere all that stuff you know the the Indie rap that nobody knows about never even heard of those guys yeah and then you got like Castillo who’s just like this dude who has dreads and likes to go fishing you know and just chill like you know wait a minute he’s a he likes to fish oh he’s like obsessive deep sea fisherman like he he goes out so like when service and Pete Woodworth went to visit him this year they took him fishing took him out on this big boat that’s called La Piedra it’s a fancy ass fishing boat we just he’s like he goes fishing every day after workouts you know I mean like you could just see Castile got the dreads kind of loose we got you know Hawaiian shirt on nice a nice a nice cold glass bottle of beer yeah margarit or whatever sitting out there got the lines in the water and just floating around not drinking a margarita when he’s fishing I don’t know why not what the hell what kind of fishing have you ever done where you You’ had a margarita like his boat is nicer than Brady’s house boat that your wife always wants to drive by S we sought the on Father’s Day we went by Cruis around the lake on Father’s Day and I saw it said there’s Brady’s boat she almost jumped out of our boat into his boat yeah like you drive a dinghy he has a boat oh it’s a dinghy yeah so it’s like yeah I mean but there that’s what makes this team work I I’ve said this before this is the nicest group of guys I’ve ever covered like in terms of just being good dudes to deal with it’s easily the best group of guys and I saw that hey Ryan let me let me jump in and interrupt you I saw that the the the last time I was down there and the way they interacted with you in particular now I’m not you’re not like friends with these guys but there is a there’s a healthy respect between you reporter and then the guys that you cover and for for you you are the only independent journalist that covers them on a on a daily on like a real daily basis and so your role is a little bit different you’re you know you’re not employed by the team or or a broadcas team or or what have you uh but but I see their interaction with you and and you get a little Glimpse in pregame of just their personality I just wanted to to to back that up that statement you just made because you you can see it with these guys that they there’s just a they’re just a good-natured bunch there does not appear maybe there is does not appear to be um you know a an a-hole in there some kind of you know personality conflict where they’re G to call you out in front of everyone it just they don’t come across that way they like being baseball players they like going to the park every day they like the teammates I mean that’s a big thing you know I mean like I always joke about culture sometimes can be a 10-cent word it’s like accountable like accountability like everybody on Twitter you got to hold them accountable what do you want me to do have them light themselves on fire you know I mean some of them on some of them on social media would like you to do that yeah I mean we ask them the questions you know like well what happened well I made a bad pitch you know we can ask the why but you can keep pressing but they’re not they’re not under oath but like these guys are all easy to deal with in terms of like they’re honest they try and answer as best they can like you for me watching them you know interacting with me or whatever like I know I’ve known a lot of them for a while and the ones that I I know well like hanar or JP or Cal they’re the leader so you know you take your cues from that I mean Felix was the same way Felix andix was great yeah nly Cruz Kyle Seager those guys were all super accountable after Bad Games well if you know if the team’s losing one of them you know stands up and says something well you know if you’re the three highest paid players on the team and the three Allstars on the team and you’re handling yourself in that way you can’t be the 26 guy and be an ass you know it’s kind of the same way I remember the other about a week ago or whatever two weeks ago went in the clubhouse and Dylan Moore was at his locker he said uh I go are you playing spokesman today because they had a rough stretch and he was yep Ty said it was my turn since I’m the oldest guy on the team or the longest 10 year guy I was like yeah we’ll talk to you you know it’s like um I get that I mean I get like there hey what’s what’s Dylan Moore’s role on the team uh I don’t know he’s personal trainer it looks like he does he does look like he would own a like a a he and his wife own a like a a personal training CrossFit facility I mean yeah like you know if they’re doing videos together or side by side one person’s doing the variations of the exercise I’ll have a YouTube video like my girl my girlfriend just used to call him pretty smile he’s got a pretty smile oh my God and she saw him one TI with that like in that bro tank and she’s like holy cow he works out he’s a tall drink of water I tell you who was like somebody said to them the other day they had a dut or whatever and said something about Donuts he looked right at me does it look like I eat donuts yeah no it does not who’s the I know service’s role is Dad but who on the what are the players though what who’s the who’s the old man who’s the old man dad that’s a good question I mean is it h is it would it be hanar but you we we’ve already we’ve already tabbed him as the robot yeah but he’s you know he’s loosened up but he is kind of the old dude I mean Logan jokes that c Acts seven years old all the time but you know I don’t know old dad that dresses like a dad complains about his back oh that’s probably Garver you look at him I mean he is the oldest guy on the team you know like let yeah like when Garver missed time with the back issue Daniel’s like did do you strain it no is there an issue goes yeah I’m old yeah okay so garver’s dead let I want to ask you about Garver are they playing he’s going to be the backup catcher now how long do you think that’s going to be for and are they playing with fire a little bit with with doing this yeah sure they’re playing with fire a little bit but I think they can control it enough you know you catch them twice a week at the most I mean with the way Cal plays I think if you look at their schedule coming up to there’s enough off days and stuff that they can kind of maneuver it one thing is is like he’s only caught really George as a starter and some of those other things so and it’s not a personal catcher they just think you know Mitch hadn’t caught most of the year so if there’s anybody that’s probably the EAS e to catch is the guy that could throw it through a Cheerio if he wanted to so um yeah I mean you run that risk and if he starts to wear down they have two catchers at Triple A Michael papiri and okay Perez I can’t remember his first name is both have big league time so they can bring those guys in and have them but what H what happens and they get a do they are they going to manipulate the lineup at all because what happens when Raleigh catches and you put Garver at DH what if something happens to Raleigh yeah that’s the thing you know then he’s got a catch and you lose your DH that game you yeah it’s out yeah I mean I don’t know how long they’re going to do this for you know they’re they you know with with panco coming back they’ll swap out Bliss um you know they’ll they’ll run with loer for a while maybe they have a whole bunch of they’re going to see some lefties and then when the time comes they’ll make an adjustment I mean like I don’t think they’re going to run Ty France into the ground right away either given his you know fractured heel so I think were you surprised they kept Locker on no not really I mean we kind of figured it wasie Savala played once in the last three weeks is like kind of a wasted roster spot in a lot of ways yeah that was uh yeah that didn’t work out uh that that didn’t work out what has worked out is and you tell me what if it’s a coincidence or maybe they’ve done something behind the scenes they talked about it yesterday as you know as Adam Jude is working and you’re not you’re vacationing and have her on Jude had noted in the paper about how they’re just their their approach in the last few weeks is just to be more aggressive early on it’s like old school Little League stuff and I talked about this earlier on The Daily pck drop that it’s like when you were like you’re coaching little kids and you probably even do it to to um uh your girlfriend son is that I don’t know simplest thing sometimes is just to see the ball hit the ball right and their offensive turnaround since they since they fired brt Brown back on on May 31st I mean since June 1st they’re averaging about five runs a game last 15 days they you know they’re they’re top five in almost every statistical category in the in the American League is it a coincidence or what what has taken place since the removal of brown that maybe has freed up this offense a little bit in your opinion I think it’s more of a coincidence than it is you know like you know the way they they were playing the Angels before when they fired him was that they fired him after that going into that or was it I pull it up okay so you think it’s just timing of opponents coincidence maybe more so than something that they have changed philosophically yeah I mean I they may have changed some things philosophically but they you know Texas has bad pitching for the most part white sock have you know deep think their relievers are terrible I think but I think the the aggressiveness you know it’s it’s it’s I think it sometimes it stems from just you start doing one thing and people are having sucess success one way and it kind of is contagious or people jump on it yeah like somebody looks at it it’s like so and so you know look he’s getting on these guys early in counts and it may be the messaging a lot of times it’s the same message but how you say it or phrase it you know I don’t I’m not gonna sit there and say brand Brown was beloved by every player because I don’t think that’s true but no but no one is no yeah I think yeah and I think there was a lot of guys that really liked his approach and how he did stuff but at the same time like to me just play the players talking with each other and and hanging out together they’re going to be their best coaches because they’re the ones in the Box seeing what the pitcher is throwing so it’s like hey you know let’s look at the Advanced Data and say let’s be aggressive and then the guy comes back say we can be aggressive he’s here he’s here I think that’s been important but you know you get warm and things like that too I think that helps you know you see balls like say you go early on a pitch and you hit it you get a hit or you hit a homer that’s going to lead you into think think yeah I should do that a little bit more often whereas if you just you know I think they I think it’s just slumping I don’t know that brand Brown’s firing or dismissal had anything to do with it it may be a different messaging but they’ve run through different coaches you know within the organization like Shan Ali was at on the last home stand a little bit and uh CJ Gil sh Mali doing with the team with the organization he was he’s a triaa hitting coach but they just they brought they’re bringing in some of these minor league coaches to help out with some of the game planning and stuff every about a for a series here or a series there Zach Livingston CJ Gilman Shan Ali so they’re just trying to like because I think they’re maybe it’s an audition to see for you know adding another coach to that role I mean it won’t necessarily be an offensive coordinator role yeah let’s not call it that again yeah I think that the the phrasing on that set prown up to fail a little of course it was it everybody in baseball MO them mocked the organization you’re right about the opponents though you do I mean as you look at it I mean they had you know after that firing it was two more against the Angels then a then a three-game series with the A’s now they now sprinkled in there was a three-game series with the Royals they ended up losing two out of three but they scored nine one game four game four and one game and then six when they won and then they had that four game set with the White Sox which they didn’t look great offens offensively hey did you pick a wrong time to give up the marble Reds oh no sorry yeah it’s okay I I camel unfiltered you know yeah well it’s when in Montana right yeah the uh what is the cigarette of choice in Montana I’m sure it’s Mar Reds or winst God God can’t do a red that is just you are asking for trouble yeah so to your point yeah maybe the opponents have have something into it but I don’t know I me I think it’s something to do with it but I think it’s just like they weren’t going to they weren’t going to be that bad forever they were going to figure some things out you know and you you start you know having success it’s like Garber just you know he’s struggled he just started seeing more pitches and like seeing the ball better that’s been a huge thing for him um they avoid the scare with Brian woo how much concern was there you know privately about him I think there’s a fair amount of concern like the one thing was he was still kind of throwing it wasn’t like there was some pop and you know he couldn’t throw anymore he was still able to throw it just wasn’t feeling right when he get done or the next day so I mean he’ll be on a super limited pitch count I’d imagine so it’s going to go back to he he the last time we saw him he got up to 85 right yeah I think we thinking 70 75 70 75 tonight you know maybe they I I just what’s the point why do it you know what I mean you’ve won five in a row or whatever is or four in a row just you know see what you can get out of him and and move from there but like trying to push him to win a game yeah I know these games against Cleveland are important for like the wild card or the the record so you can you know get that buy or whatever but I think it’s just be smart they’ve been smart with him so far why why change your thinking I mean their goal is long term you know I don’t think either of us believe that he’ll I mean I guess he could start in a postseason game because you’ll have the extra relievers you know you’ll have four starters but and you have one of those starters move to the bullpen but like I I just think final way to kind of nurse him through to the all-star break then he can reset again then just keep going I just think that’s the way to go and if you only get 75 80 pitches out of them hell you know what the Mariners are doing the starting pitchers they’re only getting 80 pitches out of those guys too in four or five innings I mean like just it’s just kind of about how efficient he is and then go from there well they’ve got I mean they get in the postseason and if um you know they they’ve got two you know they could certainly just go with their big three but they’ve got that would give them two just great arms coming out of the bullpen however they would try to deploy them which would be kind of fascinating to watch yeah I’m very curious to see but I’m curious to see like if Santos is getting close to coming back here in the next couple weeks you know he’s he threw theit longer Bullpen if he’s getting closer that’s big um Logan Evans when he de when they decide to bring him up which I think should be sometime after the allstar Break um you know it it’ll change the math in that Bullpen you know a little bit more and I think they’ve missed you know they’ve kind of missed that sixth or seventh in guy we’ve talked about it before so I’m very curious I know he’s got good numbers but every time I see Thorton come in the game I just get nervous well I mean like and it’s you want to you like when they had him in the higher leverage spots against the better spots in the batting order just not what he does and bringing him in with like Runners on base is sometimes not the best ideal thing for him you know so piece it together while you can’t and and try and get the best you can and then you know hopefully you can add you know and you’ll add obviously with some guys getting healthy or getting called up but yeah it’s the bullpen is still pretty Patchwork at times you just got to figure out a way to to nurse it through as long as you can because there’s like the outside help it’ll only be on like waiver claims
