RUNDOWN Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night's 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller's Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners' own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely unseen while fans watched baseball on their phones. Add in the Seahawks' 20–12 win over Jacksonville (seven sacks despite missing key defenders), a Kraken overtime winner, and even Humpy the Salmon's long-awaited race victory — and Mitch declares it “the most joy-filled Seattle weekend in decades.” Mitch welcomes Joe Doyle (Over Slot) and Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) after Seattle's gritty 3–1 win to open the ALCS in Toronto — a game nobody expected them to take. The trio break down Bryce Miller's six-inning gem on three days' rest, the early escape that steadied him, and how his righty-righty splitter and held-velocity heater set the tone. They praise the bullpen trio of Spire, Brash, and Muñoz, the clutch base-running by Randy Arozarena, and Cal Raleigh's homer that flipped the energy of the entire series. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN.com) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) after the Seahawks' 20-12 road win over Jacksonville — a cross-country statement built on a revived pass rush and Sam Darnold's continued efficiency. The trio break down Byron Murphy's monster day (2 sacks, 7 pressures), a seven-sack team effort that could've reached double digits, and the coaching adjustments Mike McDonald made one week after the Tampa Bay meltdown. They highlight Darnold's nearly flawless 295-yard, 2-TD outing and debate whether he's already a top-tier QB in the NFC. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after witnessing Indiana's stunning 30–20 win over Oregon in Eugene — the Hoosiers' first-ever road win over a top-five team. Rick praises head coach Kurt Signetti for his “keep-it-inside” defensive discipline and authenticity, calling him “hotter than Texas chili” as Penn State's likely next target after James Franklin's firing. They discuss the money storm brewing in the Big Ten's upcoming $2.4 billion media deal, why booster influence now drives coaching turnover, and how NIL has reshaped the sport's economy. Rick breaks down SEC chaos after Auburn's controversial finish versus Georgia, the Texas rebound behind Steve Sarkisian, and why parity is spreading as defensive-line depth thins across power programs. Mitch “plants his spear” for Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., claiming him for Taco Time's Doing Some Work honors after a 538-yard night, while Rick awards his crispy burritos to Texas A&M's defense — 2-for-33 on third downs over three games.

The Mariners win Game 1 of the ALCS in Toronto and we have a LOT of baseball to talk about since we were last on the air! How about that epic 150inning game on Friday night?

Bryce Miller gave up a first pitch home run and threw 27 pitches in the 1st before settling down to go 6 full innings and give the bullpen the reigns after that.

RUNDOWN Are Seattle sports are even fun anymore? Six hours “chewing my fingernails and losing hair.” Mitch and Scott argue about what “fun” in fandom really means, roast Matt Brash for his walk-filled chaos, and marvel at the weirdness of Seattle beating Tarik Skubal yet again. Mitch welcomes Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over-Slot / Future Stars Series) for a fiery Mariners No-Table as Seattle heads to Detroit tied 1–1. They rave over Jorge Polanco's two-homer night off Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal and the team's resilience, then dissect Dan Wilson's bullpen management in Game 1, Bryce Miller's usage, and the decision to start George Kirby. The group debates Matt Brash's shaky late-inning trust, Julio Rodriguez's base-running and clutch turnaround, and whether the Tigers or Mariners now hold the upper hand as the ALDS resumes. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) for a heated Seahawks No-Table after Seattle's gut-wrenching 38–35 loss to Tampa Bay. The trio debates how Mike Macdonald's defense—ranked among the NFL's best through two weeks—got completely schemed apart by Baker Mayfield. Mitch rips the lack of pressure from Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams, the blown coverage across the secondary, and the failure to get a stop with the game on the line. All agree: Sam Darnold looked spectacular, throwing four touchdowns and confirming his franchise-QB credentials even in defeat. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after an emotional weekend that saw his son Jerry Neuheisel call plays for UCLA in the upset win over Penn State. Rick describes watching from the CBS studio as his phone exploded with messages, reliving the moment as both a broadcaster and a dad. He shares the behind-the-scenes timeline of Jerry being handed play-calling duties, his pride in how the Bruins responded, and the joy of seeing his family's work pay off. From there, the conversation turns to the broader college-football landscape — Penn State and Texas now facing uphill climbs to the playoff, Notre Dame's renewed path, the Huskies' comeback win in Maryland, Florida's bounce-back under Billy Napier, and previewing the week ahead with Oregon–Indiana on CBS.

The Mariners lost game two of the series to the Phillies and Salk highlights some of the contest, along with the return of Bryce Miller. Then, they re-air their conversation with Jeff Passan regarding the Mariners road trip, the rotation and more.
RUNDOWN Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot. He also highlights Zach Charbonnet's growing role, Sam Darnold's fit in the new scheme, and the roster battles heating up ahead of Week 1. KJ-Aren'ts—Mitch and Jason Puckett banter over podcast quirks, golf habits, chowder debates in the heat, and family traditions. The conversation winds into nostalgic territory with Christmas memories and video game firsts, from Pong to Nintendo.
