RUNDOWN   Mitch kicks off Episode 337 with a deceptively tough trivia question about Louisiana's top-selling music artist—hint: it's not the one you'd expect.

From launching an iconic Seattle sports segment to the challenges of keeping it alive, the guys share hilarious behind-the-scenes tales and openly discuss the circumstances that led to its sudden end.
