It’s the query that 98.5 listeners have been asking for weeks: Who’s going to be the full-time third chair on “Zolak and Bertrand” now that Hardy has moved to the mornings?
On the eve of the debut of “Toucher and Hardy” on 98.5 The Sports Hub, Mike Felger and Jim Murray addressed who will fill that opening on the noon present.
The “Felger and Mazz” hosts throughout the Facebook Live “Off-Air Show” on Wednesday had been requested about who will fill the Hardy position on Zolak and Bertrand. Rich “Hardy” Poole was lately named the co-host of the morning present with Fred Toucher.
Hardy was the plain choose for the morning present after Rich Shertenlieb left, Murray mentioned. But filling the noon slot is just not so clear-cut, “Big Jim” added.
“I was just talking to (Matt) McCarthy about it because McCarthy wants it, as does everyone else you’ve heard in some type of part-time role here,” Murray mentioned.
“Of course they’re all going to want it — whether it’s Cerrone (Battle) or Matt or you know, spin the wheel of part-timers,” Murray mentioned. “Who do we have here? Kendra (Middleton). Like, of course everyone’s going to be going for this job. Who gets it? I don’t know. No one’s said anything. I don’t know who’s a front-runner.”
Another 98.5 fill-in who has been floated for the noon slot is Tim McKone.
Murray mentioned he hopes Scott Zolak and Marc Bertrand have some say within the third chair choice.
Felger mentioned his best profile for the subsequent noon host is “someone sporty.”
“Because I listen to their show a lot,” Felger mentioned. “You know, it’s just on when I’m doing (prep for) my show, so I have it on in case anything happens.”
Hardy has executed plenty of manufacturing work for the noon present, in addition to for Felger and Mazz.
“I would like to see that element somehow remain in someway shape or form” Murray mentioned. “Like, that’s going to be a missing element that I think needs to be plugged. So which of those folks have it? I don’t know.”
“You know me,” Felger added. “I want sports. Sports, sports, sports.”
On Felger and Mazz, Hardy produced “The Fuppets” section, together with Greg Bedard’s 10 questions, and “Squeaky Mazz and Mad Mike.”
Murray mentioned he’ll be producing “Squeaky Mazz and Mad Mike.”
The 10 questions with Bedard can be produced by Felger and Mazz govt producer James “Jimmy” Stewart or producer Kevin Maggiore.
The way forward for The Fuppets is unknown.
“That’s a big, big spot right there,” Felger mentioned, who later added, “Hardy will be missed.”
He proposed {that a} highschool or faculty pupil produce the puppet section, and in return, they’d get class credit score.
“So you get something out of it, we get free labor,” Felger mentioned as Murray laughed. “That’s really what I’m concerned with. Getting you for free and getting content out of it… It is one of those things where everyone’s a winner.”
