RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O'Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: "a win is a win" vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer's statement reads like a true "not leaving" while Fisch's sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they "punted the first half away," can't believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks' 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold's uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team. Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won't get another head-coaching opportunity. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan's vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch's Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in. A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan's vacancy and Lane Kiffin's unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Jason Puckett | Host, The Daily Puck Drop; Co-host of KJArntz   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Hotshot Scott late scratch, Danny O'Neill gets the spot start—plus Seahawks angst, birthday trivia, and a quick detour into the origins of MLB free agency. 13:45 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 18:13 | LA Bowl silliness to Michigan coaching rumors—then Mitch unloads on an "unsatisfying" Seahawks win and why the Rams line makes no sense. 39:38 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Defense dominates, offense sputters: Seahawks escape Colts but spark concern ahead of Rams showdown. 59:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel breaks down his Washington State interview, the Michigan mess, and playoff matchups across college football. 1:26:55 | GUEST: Puck; Puck unloads on Mitch's Neuheisel miss, spins Michigan chaos scenarios, and marvels at elite hoops talent. 1:45:42 | Other Stuff Segment: Jorge Polanco leaving the Mariners for the Mets, Jerry Dipoto and Mariners payroll philosophy, Mariners infield offensive concerns, Sharon Moore firing at Michigan, Adam Schefter's comments defending Sharon Moore, tone-deaf media responses to misconduct allegations, consequences vs adversity framing, Jed Fish fit at Michigan, potential Jed Fish departure from Washington, Huskies fan reaction to coaching turnover, Quentin Jammer admitting to playing NFL games drunk, substance abuse and accountability in pro sports, Cam Newton reacting to Colts signing Philip Rivers, quarterback entitlement and ego, Philip Rivers–Shane Steichen relationship, Ryan Seacrest football stadium naming, Seacrest's alleged high school football toughness, celebrity philanthropy credibility, Kyle Whittingham stepping down at Utah, underrated college football coaches, age and coaching viability, Milana Vayntrub selling photos for wildfire relief, OnlyFans-style philanthropy, Oregon nude calendar fundraiser, discomfort vs charity ethics

RUNDOWN   Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star"). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence. Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald. Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors. Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is.
