Byl & Doug in play
Don Day | April 28, 2006Or, rather in Play – the entertainment tabloid put out by the Idaho Press Tribune.
Play editor Ben Fletcher wrote the piece and did the interview.
Here’s a key paragraph:
Q: Your program director says you two do better work together than apart. Do you believe that?
Byl: Oh definitely. Our chemistry was there from day one. And I was miserable when I was thrown into the room at The X with two people who hated me and was forced to do a show. When there’s no chemistry, it’s just no fun.
Ouch.
The pair deny that the Lucky Peak incident did them in on the X. Doug says he was kicked to J105 because he was “turning 40.” Byl says it was “management trying to save money, I think. There was so much speculation out there. They never came forward with the truth. I know they regret it now. But, we’ve never been happier.”
The story is not online that I can find, you’ll have to pick up a copy of today’s Idaho Press-Tribune to read the whole ball of wax.

It’s sad to read that when I know the two people Bill is speaking of very well and they loved that man to death. It’s sad to see that Bill still has some serious issues to deal with.
And just so you know..you can’t find the Press Tribune anywhere in Boise. Except every once in a while at Winco.
Hmmmm…
It sounds like Byl is making excusses. I liked listening to the ‘other two people’ in the studio. I thought THEY had chemistry. It was Byl who sounded out of place. I thought that’s why he was removed from the show or at least a part of it. But it sounds like being ‘bumped’ from the X wasn’t the ’sobering’ experience Byl needed. Yes, the pun is intended.
I think the X now, sounds just as strong as it did in the 90’s with or without B&D. Though, I really don’t like Mancow.
Just a listener dropping a line.
Which is too bad, because it really is the “best read newspaper” of the Treasure Valley. At least, when I read it, I think it’s the best.
X bumped the man because he was turning 40?
There is that half arsed management again…like I said, it aint the award winning X from back in the day…
How old is Mancow?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for getting back to “the real Rock and Roll”!!!!
BYL-
You got it wrong. And you are out of line. Of all the loyal people who (stil) love you and rstood by you, to the bitter end. Even after the “Ski Lodge” incident and the times you were sent home, you couldn’t even finish your air shift, They stood by you. And supported you. In fact, a lot of us did.
I know you would say they were out to get you, were “spying” on you,etc. But I figured it was”BYL speak” and chalked it up to the shit you were dealing with at the time.
Guess I was wrong. And guesss what? They STILL love you and want you (and Doug) to succeed. A lot of us do.
X Sucks asked:
How old is Mancow?
This many.
