With Softy still out, Dick Fain brings in special guest host, voice of the Sounders, Matt "Stretch" Johnson. Stretch spends a bit of time going over the Sounders' amazing run this year, and over their entire lifespan as an MLS franchise. Obviously the Hawks have a ton going on right now with the return of Beast Mode, Robert Turbin, and the big Niners game on Sunday. Pete Carroll spoke about it all earlier, and we've got the audio. We all know Marshawn is "all 'bout that action", but how much action do we expect to see from him on Sunday night?

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA right now, but how many people know who he is? Obviously basketball fans do, but more casual fans? One day he'll be a household name, but in the meantime, even people who know the name can't pronounce it. Niner Nate goes around the iHeartMedia offices asking people how to pronounce it, and unsurprisingly, nobody can. In case you didn't catch it earlier, we re-run the Ken Norton Jr. interview. The Sounders take on Orlando City FC tonight. We check in with the voice of the club, Matt "Stretch' Johnson before the match.
